BILL NYE AND JAY GOULD.

The Humorist Pays His Kespects to the Rich Philanthropist.

It has been ten long, weary years since I last met Jay Gould until I called upon him yesterday to renew tho acquaintance and discuss the happy past. Ten years of patient toil and earnest endeavour on my part, ten years of philanthropy on his, have been filed away in the grim and greedy heretofore. Both of us have changed in that time, though Jay has changed more than I have. Perhaps that is because he has been thrown more in contact with change than I have.

Still I had changed a good deal in those years, for when I called at Irvington yester day Mr Gould did not remember me. Neither did the watchful, but overesti mated, dog in tho front yard. Mr Gould lives in comfort, in a cheery homo, sur rounded by hired help and a barbed-wire fence.

By wearing ready-made clothes, instead of having his clothing made especially for himself, he has been enabled to amass a good many millions of dollars with which he is enabled to buy things.

Carefully concealing the fact that I had any business relations with the press, I gave my card to the person who does chorus for Mr Gould, and apologising for not having dropped in before, I took a seat in the spare room to wait for the great rail road magnate. Mr Gould entered the room with low, stealthy tread, and looked me over in a cursory way and yet with the air of a con noisseur.

" I believe that I have never had the pleasure of moetiiig you before, sir," said the great railroad swallower and amateur philanthropist with a tinge of railroad irony. " Yes, sir, wo met some ten years ago," said I, lightly running my lingers over the keys of the piano in order to show him that I was accustomed to the sight of a piano. " I was then working in the rolling-mill at Laramie city, Wy., and you came to visit the mill, which was then operated by the Union Pacific Railroad Company. You do not remember me because I have purchased a different pair of trousers since I saw you, and the cane which I wear this season changes my whole appearance also. I re member you, however, very much." " Well, if we grant all that, Mr Nye, will you excuse me for asking you to what I am indebted for this call."

" Well, Mr Gould," said 1, rising to my full height and putting my soft hafc on the brow of fche Venus de "Miio, after which I seated myself opposite him in a degage Western way, " you are indebted to me for this call. That's what you're indebted to. But we will let that pass. Wc are not here to talk about indebtedness, Jay. If you are busy you needn't return this call until next winter. But lam here just to converse in a quiet way, as between man and man. To talk over the past, to ask you how your con duct isj and to inquire if I can do you any good in any way whatever. This is no timo to speak pieces and ask in a grammatical way, ' To what you are indebted for this call.' My main object in coming up here was to take you by the hand and ask you how your memory is this spring ? Judging from what I could hear, I was led to believe that it was a little inclined to bo sluggish and atrophied days and to keep you awako nights.. Is that so, Jay ?" " No, sir ; that is not so." ** Very well, then, I have been misled by the reports in the papers, and I am glad it is all a mistake. Now, one thing more be fore I go. Did it ever occur to you that while you and your family are out in your yacht together some day, a sudden squall, a quick lurch of the lee scuppers, a tremu lous movement of the main brace, a shudder of the spring boom might occur, and all be over ''"

"Yes, sir; I have often thought of it, and of course, such" a thing might happen hi Any time. But you fdrgot that while we are out on the broad .and. boundless ocean we enjoy ourselves. We are free. People with morbid curiosity cannot come and call on us. We cannot pet the daily news papers, and we do "not have to meet low, vulgar people who pay their debts and perspire." " Of course that is one view to take of it; but that is only a selfish view. Supposing that you have made no provision for the fu ture in case of accident. Would it not be .veil for you to name some one outside of your own family to take up the great bur den which is now weighing you down-this money which you say yourself has made a slave of you—and look out for it. Have you ever considered this matter seriously and settled upon a good man who would bo willing to water your stock for yon, and so conduct your affairs that nobody would get any benefit from your vast accumulations, and in every way carry out the policy which you have inaugurated ? w "If you have not thoroughly considered this matter 1 wish that you would do so at an early date. I have 'in my mind's eye just such a man as you need. His shoulders are well-fitted for a burden of this kind, and'he would pick ifc up cheer fully at any time you see fit to lay'ifc down. I will give you his address." !'Thank you," said Mr Gould, as the thermometer in the next room suddenly froze up and bursfc with a loud report. " And now, if you will excuse me from eff-sctting my time, which is worth ..OOdol. a minute, .against yours, which 1 judge to be worth "about Idol, per week, I will bid you good-morning." He then held tho door "Open for me, and shortly after I came away. There were three reasons why I did not remain, but the principal reason was that I did nofc think he wanted me to do so.

A CAUCASIAN SLAVE.

Adventures or a German in South America.

Among the passengers who arrived by the steamer San Jose last week from. Gua temala was a former resident of this city who, during the past year, lias had a varied and trying experience in South America.

Joseph Rumbach is a German of about SO.years of age. He ia a gardener by. trade, and has worked for some of the best people in this city. About ten months ago ho sailed from this city for Callao in Peru, thinking to better his fortune. Like many others, he had an idea that silver and gold were plentiful in South America, and that any intelligent foreigner could make money faster there than in this country. A few days in Callao and Lima, however, soon disabused his mind of this idea, and he was glad* to accept a place as gardener on the hacienda of a Mr Orbegosa, seven days' ride on mulobaek into bhe interior of the country over the Cordillera mountains. According to his letter of instructions, whioh he lias with him, he was to receive 20dol. a month in silver, a houso in the yard of the hacienda house, bed and bedding and his meals. His'duties "were to be to look after and improve the flower and vegetable gardens attached to the house.

When he arrived at the hacienda he found that ifc was a barren coffee plantation, and that he was expected to work with tlio Indian labourers in tho coffee fields. His house consisted of an adobe hut of ono room with no windows, and nothing but a cob mattress and a pair of blankets in the way of furniture. He stuck to his work for about four weeks, hoping his position might be improved, bub finding no likelihood of a change ho resolved to throw up the situation and try to better himself. He went to the administrator, or manager, and told him that he wished to leavo. To his surprise he found that he would not be allowed to do so, bub that he must remain and work whether he liked ib or nob. This was on Wednesday. On bhe following Monday he

packed his clothing in a bag, strung it across his shoulders, and started to retrace on foot the weary journey across the moun tains to the coast. On the evening of the second day, while sitting in the house of an Indian iii a village, there came a knock at the door. It was thrown open and iv rushed the administrator of the hacienda with seven men all armed with rifles, at his back. Rumbach was seized and taken to the gaol, where he spent the next twenty four hours. The gaol was a clcs.-,hot place, without windows or any other means of ventilation. On the following day he was taken back to the hacienda and forced to go to work again. He was told that lie could not get away, and was urged to marry an Indian girl and settle down contentedly to work.

About three weeks after his return he again told the administrator that he wished tc leave, and was again refused. That night a Spaniard, who was also a labourer on the plantation, came to him and warned him that if he did not comply with the wishes of the administrator he would be put in chains and worked like the Indians. Rumbach states that the administrator and his chief assistants were absolute masters of all the men on the plantation. They tried them for any infractions of tho rules, and sentenced them to tho chain gang under a boss who drove them at their work with a whip, which ho did not scruple to use on the slightest provocation. For more serious offences both imprisonment and whipping were the punishments. Not relishing the outlook Rumbach re solved to make another attempt to escape from slavery. At 2 o'clock the next morn ing he climbed over the wall of the patio, and again started on a tramp to the coast. For six days and nights he tramped over the mountains, carefully avoiding the only beaten road, for he was warned by some friendly Indians the first day of his journey that he was being pursued. He lived on such fruits and berries as he could pick, and upon the occasional gifts of the Indians who guided and assisted him in his flight. On the seventh day lie readied the coast and made his way to Callao, and from there to Lima.

He went to the German Minister and told his story. The Minister told him to go back to work. This Rumbach declined to do, but sought work in Lima. He finally secured a place under the municipal go vernment; in the public gardens at Idol, a day, out of which he had to pay for rooms and meals. In two months he Had man aged to save enough to yiay for a passage by steamer to Panama, where he worked for six weeks and then sailed for Hondures Another short stay here, with labour on a coffee plantation, gave him the funds to pay his fare to San Jose de Guatemala, where he secured work in the gardens of the Pre sident .Barrios, and, after that job was com pleted, on a coffee plantation owned by a Swiss gentleman. In three months he had enough to bring him back to San Francisco, where he arrived a few days ago, heartily sick of Spanish countries and glad to get back to a land where a foreigner has some rights which the nntives respect. Peru, he says, is about the worst place in the world for a foreigner. He met there many Americans, Germans, French and English, who were striving to get away. Many of them were actually in a state of starvation. Since' the war with Chile money has been scarce. All the work not done by the Indians is in the hands of the Chinese and Italians, who can live on wages which would simply -mean slow-starvation to anyone else. Rumbach says that there are actually more Chinese in Lima than native Peru vians. Nearly all the business is done by them, and many of them are married to white girls. The Chinese keep the stores, and charge exorbitant prices for every thing, as the paper currency of the country is worth only If) cents on the dollar, and prices are made in accordance ,with the value Of tho circulating medium, only in an inverse ratio. His advice to any man who has work of any kind in America isnot to go to Peru with the idea that he can better his position by doing so. In tho other Central and South American States the condition of things is not. so bad, but no one without capital has a fair chance to make a living.

"The Good Old Days" Humbug.

Men ninety years old remember when there were no steamboats, bufc all travel on the water was done by the; slow, uncertain means of sailing vessels, when if one started for New York, it was doubtful whether he would reach there in a day or a week. Now we know how many hours and minutes it requires to make the trip. Men now sixty years old remember when there were no railroads, bufc all travel on land was done by stages, by waggons, by ox teams, on horseback, and on foot. Now a network of railroads covers the whole coun try, and several lines run from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Now it requires only six or seven days to cross the continent. Formerly the trip required three months. Men fifty years old remember, when there were no photographs, but only paint ings ami drawings, made at great prices, of°objects now done better at a trilling cost.

Men of that age also remember when no steam-boat crossed the ocean, and it was believed that they never could, but now hundreds of steamships are ploughing every ocean, reducing the time of crossing the Atlantic from weeks to days. Men forty-five years old remember when there was no electric-plating, but every thing in that line was done in the old fashioned, slow way. Men of that ago also remember when there were no telegraphs, but all messages had to be sent by slow-going mails. Men twenty-five years old remember when there were no telephones, but all the messages.now .spoken through them had to be sent by note or special mes senger. All these grand and useful inventions have been made within the memory of men now living. The younger generation can never appreciate them as those do who remember the want of them, and therefore the great convenience thoy are to the world.

We often hear of " the good old days of yore." Why deprive our children of the enjoyment of thoso old days? Why not pass a law forbidding steamboats from ploughing the waters, railroads from running on land, telegraphs from sending messages, telephones from being used, all furnaces, stpam heaters, etc., to be taken out of houses and other buildings, all grates for burning coal to be taken out, all stoves to be melted for old iron, all water-works in the cities to be left empty, the use of all gas and other illuminators, except dipped tallow candles, to'be discontinued, and re.illy.to go back to the "good old times," say for Jive years ? Then, if at midnight .on a cold, stormy night, a doctor is wanted, he must be sent for instead of telephoning for him. If one wishes to send a message, to a dis tance, instead of telegraphing he must write a letter.and send itiby stages to a distant place and wait patiently for days or weeks for the answer. . ,-.- v

When one goes home on a freezing night he can sit by a wood fire, roasting on one side while freezing the other, and reading by the dim light of a tallow dip instead of a "gaslight or tho more agreeable light of kerosene. If he undertakes a journey, instead of getting into cars and going where he wishes, the best thing he can'do is to take a stage at four times the cost and ten times the discomfort of the cars. Let these and other modem improvements be forbidden and the "good old days" be brought back, how long would it be before an extra session of the Legislature would be demanded to knock the " good old days."' into splinters, and to restore the much better modern days which we now enjoy, and for which we ought to be most devoutly thankful.

The Bottle Himp.

V How is it I'm loafing about, -'ard up as you may say ? Do I feel my position '! 0' course' 1 do. I feels it keenly ;" and well the speaker might, for the east wind was sharpening itself on his skeleton shins and the slouchy-looking object before me tried to make a too scanty coat come up to the button-hole scratch. Failing in this at tempt, he made his two fingers a temporary link, and held the restive garment to gether. " Well, I won't deceive you, gufTner, it was all through the Bottle Himp, cuss him ! You'll excuse me, guifner, but when I thinks how a human being "'as blasted in one night, as you may say, I make use of bad language." Pulling himself togctlier, the speaker con tinued in a dismal dirge-like drawl to allude to himself as if he" had been a human cabbage stalk or a gentlemanly gourd. " Yes, I was cut down in one night." If so, he had been cut down with considerable care and minuteness, for I observed that his hair had not escaped the operation, and there was a peculiar Pentonville pen wiper bristle arrangement where his flow ing locks should have been. *' How did it happen ? It come about this way. I was dodging outside Chadder's Coffee-house one morning, when a gentle man looks at mo and says, 'My man, can you drive?' " " ' Depends whether it's a nail or a 'orse,' I says. ' You'll do,' larfed the gentleman, ' it's a 'orse and a hadvertisihg wan. We shan't quarrel about wages, you come along with me.' "

" In a hevil 'our," continued the penitent of Pcntonville, '• I follored him, and he takes me up a yard and there atop of a wan was a monster twelve foot bottle, with a sharp cork and a label as long as my leg headed - " The Bottle Himp- Try Korriku loss, the Hair Renovator—goes to the roots of the hevil.'"

"Am I for to drive that?" I asked, pointing to the wan, cos I saw there was going to be a lark over it. " ' That's about it,' said my employer : ' jump hup.' " I jumped hup, and when I was mounted alongside this disgraceful drunken looking Bottle, lie brings out a young lad, and blessed if lie didn't open a trap-door in the side of the bottle and he says to the youug un'Jump in, Jem.' Yes, and Jem did it too, and then I seed there was artful breathe holes all over the bottle. The gentleman then chucked in about twenty thousand handbills and slams the trapdoor. " He says to me, ' Drive heasy, and pull up outside the pub. at intervals.' " I says ' Drive heasy I can,' but I says, ' I don't know the pubs, at Hintervals. I knew 'em at Hislington.' "He larfed, and he says, ' You'll do, drive on.' Well, sir, we started on that fatal woyage, and .arter driving slowly for some time, I pulls up outside a tap. I'd no sooner done so then I hoard a sepul ohooral voice hinside the bottle chaunt just like tho 'Amlefc senior do in tho play-

' Listen to the bottle lump, try Korrikuloss, 'And when you buy it. buy it of the boss.

Wifch that the himp scatter': no bond of 'andbills, and there was a scrimmage for 'em. I- I

" Of course the landlord of the pub., was a making capital out of the crowd, and he behaved 'audsomo to mo and brought out the liquor himself, and I was beginning to like the job. "I drove on a bit, and pulled up outside another pub. Same business, same result, we got a rattling crowd around us. " Well, sir, what wifch stopping outside pubs, and stopping inside 'em, me and the himp got took very bad towards hevening —quite hovercome, you may say, and I was driving wobbly, and I don't know as I didn't do a doze, when all of a sudden I heard a couple of dreadful shrieks as woke me hup a bit. I'd a been and knocked down a hold gentleman, and that blessed himp had a rolled hout through the bottle and there he was a laying on the pavement, blinking and winking at me like a howl in tho sunshine. "I hadn't no trouble with tlio bottle arterthat little misfortune, for the perlice took charge of it, and I don't mind telling you they took charge of me too. I was conducted in triumph to Scotland Yard, and I passed the hevening in a cell and the himp was locked hup in tho next one, and 1 could hear his sepulkooral woice in his dreams shouting —

' Listen to tho bottle himp, try Korrikuloss, And When you buy it, buy it off tho boss. ,

The nexfc morning I was took up and intro duced to a gentleman in Bow-street, who made hisself werry disagreeable and be haved shameful. He said I was a disgrace to humanity, and, dash me ! if fche himp didn't round on mo and hup and told the gentleman as I was a cruel master and always drunk and driving over people. "Instead of driving the wan home, I'm blessed if I wasn't, driven 'om in a wan, and lodged in 'Olloway for fourteen days." " I don't mind telling you, sir," said my snivelly narrator, " butlnever passed such a fortnight in my life, it cured me of drink. 1 never tasted a drop of ainyfchink-Kot until I come hout again,' he added ; " bufc of course ifc blasted my prospects. If I try to get a job 'tain'b no recommendation for to say as your last place was'Olloway. If something don't turn hup soon I shall hemigrate. What do you think, sir ?" ho asked, appealing to me. " Well, I think the country would be hemigrateful to you if you did." "That's my opinion," he said; and I left the victim of the Bottle Himp to ponder over these words. - " Moonshine."

Quacks of Old.

One of the most noted quacks of the last century was a certain Dr. Graham, who was a graduate of Edinburgh, and settled in London in 1782! Practice opened very slowly for tho doctor* arid lip established himself in a Pall Mall mansion, which he named the "Temple of Health." He covered the front of the building with emblems of hypeia and an enormous gilt sun. The interior rooms' were superbly furnished ; the walls were covered with mirrors, candelabras, with gilded and tinsel, mountings; birds sang in unexpected corners, rare plants lent their fragrance to the air, and the enchanted palaces of the East wore sought to be reproduced. Here this interesting person delivered lectures at the rather extravagant price of two guineas each ; this price, together with the novelty of his subject and the elegance of his apart ments, drew, together large audieuces of the wealthy and dissipated class. Ho enter tained a female of beautiful figure, whom he called the goddess of health ; and it was her business to deliver a concluding dis course. • ' A ' .1 '

As a further means of attraction Br Graham hired two giants,- provided with enormous cocked hats,,and with showy and bulky liveries, whoso business it was to distribute bills from house to houso. But his two-guinea auditor's became exhausted and he dropped the price of his lectures to one guinea—one-half guinea—.five shillings —and,finally to half a crown, and when this failed he exhibited the temple itself.

Tins talented individual discovered an elixir of life, whereby a person taking: it might live as long as lie please, and he de manded one thousand pounds for a supply of it, and more,than one nobleman paid the price. These barefaced swindlers after a time became known and he had to resort to earth or mud bathing. Both he and the goddess allowed themselves to be exhibited while immersed in earth to the chin.

In the meantime, the speaker continued, there had sprung up in .America a new quackism, known as Th ompsonianism. This was the invention of an impecunious, un educated, but probably honest, citizen of

j Western New York, named Samuel Thomp j son. He claimed to originate the theory of i the elements of man ; that he was composed |of four elements earth, air, lire and water i and that disease was animal heat con- I lined ! He published a work on medicine, i and his followers were found everywhere. ] His book abounds in curiosities ; for instance, his opening remark on the subject of carbuncles is unique. " The carbuncle is a large bile !" and of foruncles he said: "The bile is a distressing visitor !" Tho'mp-

son secured a patent on his system, and his followers paid for the right to use it in their own families. We have had other sets, some of whom are sending forth still.

Collis Browne (late Army Medical Staff), to which he gave the name of CHLORODYNE, and which is admitted by the profession to be the most wonderful and valu able remedy ever discovered.

As a remedy for general utility, we much question whether a better is imported into the country, and wc shall be glad tohear of its finding a place in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, wc are happy to say, are now relegated to the native bazaars, and, judging from their sale, we fancy their sojourn there will be evanescent.

In Choleraic Diarrhoea, and even in the more terrible forms of Cholera itself, wo have wit nessed its surprisingly controlling power. We have never used any other form of this mcdi cine than Collis Browne's from a firm conviction that it is decidedly the best,and also from a sense of duty wo owe to the profession and thepublic, as we are of epinion that the substitution of any other than Collis Browne's is a deliberate BREACH OF FAITH ON THE PART OF THE CHEMIST TO PRESCRIBE AND PATIENT ALIKE. —We are, Sir, faithfully yours, Symes and Co., Members of the Pharm.
