Camp-Meeting Letter. The trustees have learned that the great plan of religion is too broad, and the M. E. Church too small, to particularize between good people, simply because some think it is best to sprinkle and others to dip, hence it is no longer a Methodist affair. A brighter, more refined, better educated and well-dressed population cannot he found in any community. Camp Acton is a delightful resort, her intentions are all good, and if the inhabitants and the visitors fail to gain physical rest and find mental food in abundance, it will not he the fault of the management.

GOULD’S RETIREMENT. He Is Out of Wall Street for Good—Tho Kind of a Man the Great Speculator Is. “Gath”*” New York Letter. Jay Gould’s final retirement from Wall street is a great blow to the brokers, who are much cast down. They say that he does not hold much of Texas Pacific now. I was talking to Somerville, the press agent, a few minutes yesterday about this retirement, and he said: ‘ ‘Mr. Gonld has gone out for good. He has moved from his office down by Wall street, and only occapiSs his private offices in the Western Union building, which is nearly half a mile up the street froiii the Stoek Exchange. He has lost all that look of care which attended him when he was a speculator. He comes down to the city, looks over his property affairs and their administration and consults with his chiefs, and goes back to his summer house or his yacht, or sails whither he likes, and keeps out of all fatigue.” “What kind of a man is he?” I asked. “He is a very good sort of man, not harsh or hard with anybody, quite reciprocal, perfectly simple. He is a great thinker, and has fallen into the habit of using his head with the greatest method and caution. While he thinks all around a subject, he has decision, too, strongly developed. He can think slow or he can think fast, and he moves with celerity." “Does he get mad with his employes when, occasionally, in the regulations of revolutions of property, they pass over to his opponents?” “Not at all. I was with a rival telegraph company once, and, although I had gone out of the Western Union, Mr. Gould always spoke to me as if nothing had happened. He recognizes the right of a man to do the best he can for himself. When I returned, after the absorption of the company I was with, no change of conduct whatever was observable. He has no snobbery about him. no artificial pride or respecting of persons. It is a mistake to suppose that Gould ia not a free talker. Sometimes he talks so freely and explicitly with straugers that they are astonished. He is well adapted for business intercourse, like any man who was brought up in traffic, who expects to see his customers, to hear what is going on, and to make bargains. I will give yon an instance of how little he stands upon ceremony. When he was summoned before Congress to give his testimony as to the strikes in Missouri, Mr. Gould suggested to me that I had better go on to Washington also. I told him that business was pressing, but that I would leave in the afternoon after I had worked off the afternoon papers, and see him at hiß hotel in the evening. He said ho would secure a room for me. When I got to Washington, however, the hotel keeper had counted the persons who came with Gould, and settled for himself the number of rooms to be called for. When I came on I found there was no room left. Mr. Gould went up and said: ‘Where is Mr. Somerville’s room?’ The proprietor said he had supposed that nobody else was coming, that all the gentlemen were in the party, and that he had not a room left in the house. I told Mr. Gould that it made no difference; that I would go down to another hotel. ‘O, no,’ said he; landlord, put up a cot in my room, and let Mr. Somerville sleep there.’ I was struck with the thorough plainness of his intercourse, and his consideration as well. It happened that another of the party had a parlor as well as a bed-room, and my cot was put up there.” “Is Gould a suspicious man?” “No, the absence of suspicion is one of the most remarkable points about him, considering how long he has been in speculation and surrounded by listeners, enemies and competitors. He gives his full confidence to those who are in his service. When he published his letter to Powderiy, standing upon hte rights as a citizen of the United States, and in a quiet way defying any combination to deprive him of the use of his property, he attended to the material points of the letter, and going away said, ‘lf anything happens which requires any change in that statement, make it, and I will stand by it.’ Subsequently some other persons did think it ought to he strengthened somewhat, hut I thought not, and declined to send it unless Mr. Gould saw it with those strong statements put in. In the midst of all that excitement, when he had $30,000,000 or more at stake in the Missouri Pacific railroad, be appeared no more affected than if he was a disinterested observer. He did show some feeling, however, in this last suit of the Bankers’ and Merchants’ Telegraph Company, against the Western Union. It may have been that because Stokes was in there as the piaintiff and beneficiary he watched that case with more than his usual interest.” “Is Gould a bitter man?” “Not at all; he has a grest equanimity of temper. He does not get worried, does not nourish personal sensibilities or resentments, gives his attention in a thoughtful way to the problem right before him, and when he has made up his mind he trusts it to be executed as a child would trust its father’s promise.”

Woman Suffrage and Whisky. Templeton, in Boston Herald. It was my fortune to he in the Territory (Washington) duriug a portion of the time while the late canvass was going on on this subject. I arrived in the city of Tacoma on a Saturday, and the same evening attended a large meeting addressed by Hon. Thomas Fitch, in an argument for a prohibitory law. To my surprise, it was nearly all occupied with a reply to the speeches of two women, who were leading woman suffragists of the Territory, who had the week previously made public speeches aeainst prohibition! I could not understand this, and the next day inquired of a leading prohibitionist of the place what it meant. “How can it be,” said I, “that your two leading women of this Territory are defending laws that allow the sale of liquor?” “I will tell you,” was his reply. “It is because they caro more about woman suffrage than they do about the sale of rum. There is an election soon to he held, or which is anticipated, in this Territory, to decide whether women shalljvote ujnder the expected Siate Constitution. If the women all vote one way on this liquor question, they fear that the liquor vote will come in and he a unit against their having the suffrage. These women are, therefore, striving to make friends with the liquor dealers by persuading them that their votes will he on the side of the sale, and that they represent many of the rest of the sex in this position.” 1 thought, if this were |true, it was evidence that the women were learning the arts of political management eariv. Whether it was true or not, the fact remains that these two shining lights of the softer sex in advocacy of woman suffrage did make speeches from the Tacoma platform in favor of licensing the sale of liquor and against prohibition. I was curious to know what kind of an argument they delivered, and I asked the question of Mr. Fitch, to whom I was afterward introduced. “An exceedingly able one,” was the reply. “They are both women of brains and of excellent speaking capacity. It would have been worth your while to have heard them.” If these women had any con siderable following or influence, there must have been many women votes for liquor-selling. The vote in the city was taken the day I left, and it was about two to one in its favor, the women participating in the election. I should say there were two views on the subject of woman suffrage among the female sex in this Territoiy, as those with us at the East. Some I met were earnestly in its favor. I saw one woman, however, who should by force of circumstances favor it, if anybody did, for she held an office under the law. Yet she said to me: “I have never voted. I hold this place by favor of men because my poverty compels me. Bat I do not believe that either public office or voting is woman’s sphere, and the more I see of its effects the less lam reconciled to it.” She was a self-sacrificing woman, laboring for others. I should be loth to identify her further, as it might work her injury. .
