THE rNDIAjSTAPOLIS JOTJBKAIh FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1SST.

German trader in the islands, claiming to have

acquired by purchase the rlpht to the eround and bonse occupied bv .Malietoas seat or govern ment, procured a landing party of armed German sailors from the Alba tross, in the harbor. ' to' enforce his claim, and with their aid dispossessed the King . and baoled down bis flag. 1 he German ad miral ia understood to have visited Tamasese at the latter' camp at that time: but Kins Malietoa and Seln, bis Secre tary of State,.formally applied to Consul Greene?aum for protection, and the latter, with great Alacrity, issued his proclamation, "in the name of the United btates or America, ordering "'an people within this kinedom to live peaceably and Quietly, and all opponents of iMahetoa to dis perse, lie also hoisted the Stars and Stripes above the Samoan flag, indicating that Alalietoa was under the wing of the eagle. It was when news of this performance reached the United States that Mr. Bayard hurried forth his special commissioner to Apia to meet like representatives of Germany and Great Britain there. The result was the recall of Greeoebaum and the substitution of the J resent consul. Mr. Harold Sewel!, of Maine, f the charges tbeu filed against Mr. Greenebaom by some of his enemies at Apia were justified by the facts, they reflected strongly against the selection of such a representative by the administration. If, on the contrary, they were suggested by Intrigue or malice, the se quence of the government s failure to standby him has been unfortunate. At bottom, the affair is perhaps partly one of rivalry for trade; and possible the alleged disrespect of Malietoa for hmoeror William might have been looked on more leniently save for other considerations. With all his astounding self-reliance, which did not stick at virtually declaring au American protectorate at Apia, Consul Greenebaum at least made a vigorous and successful stand Against Tamasese as an illegal aspirant to the throne, set up in German interests. BOVEBNOB CKlt.ESBY'3 PENSION. Die Document Under which lie Claims a Pension for Services In Mexico. Washington Special. This afternoon General Black sigued the penlion certificate of Governor Oelesby, under the late Mexican pensions law, based upon his service in the Mexican war and his being the age of sixty-two. Fortunately it was not necessary for him to allege indigence, and disability would have given him a pension om the time of its occurrence. The following is Governor Oglesby's characteristic and interesting declaration: "State of Illinois, Sangamon county, ss. On this 10th day of September, A. D , 1887, personally appeared before me. James II. Paddock, a notary public in and for the county and State aforesaid, Richard J. Oeleahy, aged sixty-three years, a resident of Springfield, county of Sangamon. State of Illinois, who, being duly sworn according to law, deposes and states as follows, to-wit: I am tbe identical Richard J. Oglecby who served tbe full period of one year in the military service of the United States in the war with Mexico. I enlisted under the name of Richard J. Oglesby on or about the 13th day of June, 184G. My recollection is that 1 volunteered some time in Mav, 1846, as a private in company C, Capt I. C. Pugh, Fourth Regiment Illinois "Volunteers, commanded by Col. E. D Baker, and was honorably discharged as a first lieutenant in May or June, 1817. During said service I accompanied my command in Mexico and participated in the following engagements: The sieee of Vera Cruz, in tne spring of 1847, and the battle of Cerro Gordo, on the ISth day of April, 1847. In the last battle I was in command of Company C, and out of forty ono men and . officers engaged nine were wounded and one killed. I have always felt that this battle ought to have earned for me a pension from that day up to the present time. It was on that day the brave General Shields was almost mortally wounded at the head of Colonel Baker's regiment, at tbe head of which regiment was Company C, and at the head of which company was your humble servant, commanding. Shields was commanding a brigade, Baker a regiment, and Oglesby a company. This affidavit is therefore now made for the purpose of obtaining a pension under the law of Congress upon that subject, passed, as I am informed, about tbe close of the last session. If any defect shall be found in the form of this application, I respectfully request that yon will waive the same and issue the necessary certificate upon the merits of the case. I was born July 25, A. D. 1824, and was therefore lixty-tbree years old July 25, A. D. 1S87. "Richard J. Oglesby. MINOR MATTE US.

Oonld as a Purchaser of Government .Land. Washington Special. Considerable curiosity has been awakened here by the discoverv that Mr. Jav Gould is among tbe number of Northern speculators whe have lately been taking advantage of the act of Congress of 1376, throwing opeu the lands in the Southern States to public and private sale. This form of speculation has taken a big "boom" lately. The sales in the State of Louisiana, for example, during July last alone, were equal to me total sales in tne same ttate tor tne whole of tbe year 1886. Mr. Gould has been buying in Liouisiana, chiefly in Calcasieu and Vernon parisnrs. I He government lands in tbe southwestern part of the State, it is said at the Land Office, are well grown with timber, and the probability U that Mr. Gould's purchases are made with au eye to the value of tbe growing timber. His own investment amounts to some thirty thousand acres, aud he and a few ether investors have taken possession, between them, of from eignty to one nunared thousand acres, compris ing all that was left of some eight townships in Calcasieu and nine in Vernon parish. The con tiguity of these lands to his railway system suggests the probability that Mr. Gould had re solved, if money is to be made there as it was on the Missouri Pacific, by the sale of timber for the road, to make it himself. Suspicions were also entertained at first tba the purpose of the purchases was to secure tbe land necessary for laying out some tributary and connecting lines of road; but the situation of the property and the engineering difficulties which present themselves in places render this hypothesis idle. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. The Salem (O. ) new water-works engine stack fell fifty feet yesterday, killing Joseph Dinsmore and fatally injuring three others. Nicholas Kill, a German, of St. Paul, has been arrested for the murder of Jacob Kuhn. Tbe victim's watch and a bloody knifo were found in his possession. Ira L. Green, a former resident of Rush, X. Y., murdered his wife and two children at fSarsata. Fla. Green was afterwards shot while resisting the officers. The State of Louisiana has failed to make ont a case against the officers of the steamer "J.. M. White," which was burned near Bayon Sara, last season, resulting in groat loss of life. The officers were indicted on this account, but the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. On Tuesday night, at Huntingdon, a small village in Calvert county, Maryland. Edward Coolidge, a farmer, cut his wife's throat with a razor, after failing in an attempt to shoot her, nearly severing her head from her body. He then tried to kill his sister, but she escaped, and with the same weapon cut his own throat, dying after kissing bis twj little boys. Jealousy caused the tragedy. Two days ago a daughter of Clement Thiel. a farmer residing near Caledonia. Minn., was delivered of an illegitimate child, whose father, the son of a neighboring farmer, recently went West. Yesterday the girl's brother, Michael, forcibly took the child from her out Into the yard and wrung its neck. This so shocked the tmotber that she is not expected to live. The sheriff is after the murderer. Montague Clinch wood, who is charged with being an adroit American swindler, bas been arrested in Bremen on tbe charge of having swindled James Kiess, a retired surgeon of tbe English army, and an English clergyman, out of 8.000. The operations were carried on at Geneva, Switzerland. About an equal amount In the bank in New York city in his name was yesterday attached at the. instance of the swiniltd gentleman.

TIIE PHILADELPHIA JUBILEE

First Day of the Great Celebration in Honor of the Federal Constitution. The City Lavishly Decorated and the Streets Tacked with Masses of People- Illustrations of a Century's Progress. Philadelphia, Sept. 15. The centennial of the events of revolutionary times began this morning. If there is one thing more than another for which the million and a half of people, who are, temporary residents of this city of centennials are thankful, it is tbe weather. With a clear sky, obscured here and there only by light clouds, the day so far gives, promise of being everything that could be wished, and a heavy load has been lifted from the hearts of many who have been for months looking forward to the day when the greatest epoch in the history of tbe last century should be celebrated. Philadelphia and her hundreds of thousands of guests appeared on the streets early this rooming in their holiday garb, light-hearted, and all bent toward the single object of making the celebration a fitting one. All day yesterday and lust night visitors, including distinguished guests, military and firemen, arrived by every possible conveyance, and the dozen railroad depots were taxed to the utmost in accommodating the throng which had flooded to the "cradle of liberty" to tear witness by their presence of their love and veneration for the historic document which gave them liberty and freedom, and made this "a government of the people, by the people and for the people." All the hotels were filled to overflowing by yesterday morning, and every inch of surplus space had been filled with cots and other means of temporary rest, so that many of the strangers had to resort to the "bureau of information, which was established' during the early days of the constitutional centennial boom, and which has performed an important mission since its inception. It is safe to say that there are at least two hundred thousand visitors from a distance, in addition to the thousands from adjacent counties of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, and hardly a State or Territory remains unrepresented in the three days' festival. The streets to-day presented an appearance that is lovely in the extreme. In all directions, as far as the eye can reach, wa3 one mass of bunting and' decoration. Many of the newspaper offices and public buildings made a lavish display, the decorators having worked early and late to complete their work in time. At daybreak this morning they were still at work, putting on the finishing touches, which have been delayed more or leas by the inclement weather. Every arrangement has been made by those in charge, and the day was one of the most eventful ones in the history of the civilized world. The monster civic aud industrial pageant started from Broad and Dauphin streets shortly after 10 o'clock, and marched to Broad and Moore streets, a distance of nearly five miles, and then countermarched to the starting point, passing through one continuous line of observation stands gaily decorated with, flags of all nations. North Broad street was so crowded as to be almost impassable as earlv as 7 o'clock. and tbe great crowds blocked themselves together in the streets, notwithstanding the. efforts of the police to keep the latter clear. On North Broad street there was scarcely a house, public or private, that was not covered with bunting or in other ways suitably decorated. The decora tors stnved for novel effects, and in this they were highly successful, borne nouses were almost covored with heroic statues of Columbia, surrounded by the flags or all nations, while other fronts were completely concealed with bunting. The Odd fellows hall exhibited a banner announcing that place as the spot where Franklin drew lightning from the clouds in 1752," and at other points busts of Washington were mounted in front of the houses and profusely decorated. Nearly all the side streets leading into North Broad were roped off, and were filled with trucks on which huge tiers of seats were erected and rapidly sold. Amid the gay holiday attire of the streets. there is nothing more conspicuous and artistic than the three triumphal arches that span Broad and Chestnut streets. The Broad-street arch, the principal one, is almost opoosite the main reviewing stand, which will be occupied by the President and his party upon their arrival. It was erected by the centennial commission, and is sixty feet high, springing from each curb; i3 of plain, semi-circular form, and segmented on the south with illuminated shields of the thirtyeight States forming the Union, and on the north with the names of the States, tbe shield and name of each being back to back. The thirteen original States occupy tbe middle position of the group, and the others are placed alongside in tbe order in which they came into the Union. Surmounting tho arch is a mammoth device consisting of an American eagle and a stand of national colors. The scene- at tbe grand reviewing stand, situated opposite the Union League club house, on Broad street, just below San6om, was a grand one. The stands on either side of Broad street were filled with people, and the gay colors of the ladies' and children's raiment lent beauty to the magnificent and elaborate decorations of the stands themselves. There were sixteen telegranh stations along the route of the parade, which were established for the purpose of communicating from one end of the line to the others, and just as a telegram flashed over the wires announcing that' the pageant had started from Broad and Dauphin streets, at 10:25 A. m.. Governor Beaver rode by in his carriage and was greeted by a hearty round of applause. By 11 o'clock the distinguished guests, the governors, foreign ministers, and others began to pour into their assigned places thick and fast. As the different governors passed up our down Broad street and were recognized, they received round after round of cheers, and the ladies and children joined in the greeting by waving their hats, handkerchiefs and parasols. Tbe constitutional centennial commission was officially presented on the grand stand by Hon. John A. Kasson, president; Hon. Amos R. Little, chairman of the executive committee; Hampton L. Carson, secretary; F. Carroll Brewster, jr., corresponding secretary, ad assistant secretary Black, who occupied seats on the front of the stand. Section A, the central portion of the stand, was reserved for the Governors of the States, with their staffs. On this stand, also, were Senators and Representatives in Congress, many of whom were preuent; the commissioners of the various States and Territories, thirty-three of whom were present; the diplomatic corps, the foreign consuls and specially invited guests of the commission. Section B contained distinguished visitors. The head of the procession, led by a cordon of mounted police, reached the City Hall, at Broad and Market streets, at 11:40. The crowd was so immense at this point that the police had great difficulty in driving them back. The street was, however, cleared in time to prevent a stoppage of the moving pageant, which proceeded around the we3t side of the City Hall and on past the grand reviewing stand at Walnut street The monster civic and industrial parade, illustrating the advancement of industrial arts and sciences during tbe past century, it is be lieved fairlv eclipsed anything of the kind ever. known. . There were in line 300 floats, each bearing a representation of some particular branch of industry, 12,000 men. 3,000 horses, and 150 bands of music. At tbe head of the column rode Col. A. Louden Snowden, chief marshal, and his staff of fifty aids, a standard bearer and two trumpeters. Directly behind them, and leading the column itself, was the United States Marine Band, followed by a grand banner representing Columbia pointing to the past with one hand and witn the other to tbe present, tho former being represented by old implements and conditions, the latter by those of to-day, indicating progress. The banner typified the demonstration and was drawn on a car by bx horses. The display from this point was divided into twenty-three divisions, each being under the charge and supervision of an assistant marshal and several aids. The honor of beading the first division was given to the Patriotic Order of the Sons of America, who presented a beautiful display. It was beaded by a gayly-decorated wagon bear ing banners with mottoes emblematic of the order. Following this float came a band and several tableaux on floats, typical of events, during the revolution, and representing the different nations which made up America's population, in native costumes: a beautiful temple, handsomely decorated, with thirty-eight ladies at the portal, representing the States of the Union, "Uncle Sam," the Goddess of Liberty In costume, and afloat on which stood representations of the school-houses of a century asro and those of to-dav. surrounded by school children. The remainder of this division was made op of the national ' and State officers.

including the national and State executive committees in full . regalia, aud visiting camps of Sons of America. Tbe second division was made up by the Carpenters' Company of Philadelphia, which antedates all other industrial associations, having been incorporated in 1724, and which is the only industrial organization in existence ia this city which participated in the procession of 1737. Tbe first feature of this display was a float upon which was borne a miniature Grecian temple of thirteen Corinthian columns, representing the thirteen States of the Union of 1777, which is a duplicate of the original exhibit of the Carpenters' Company in the parade in the year 1737, which commemorated the adoption of the federal constitution. Following this was another temple of the Grecian Doris order, far more imposing than its predecessor, and intended to be emblematic of the present grand Union of States and bearing upon each of thirty-eight columns a shield with the name of each State. The allegorical floats were followed by the members of the Carpenters' Company in carriages. The third division was an agricultural exhibit, displaying all the old as well as the new implements, and was complete in every detail. Following this came a representation of flouring mills built in 17C0 and 1814. and an illustratration of the present manner of making flour. Division No. 4 was made up of a display by the typographical fraternity, and was an interesting feature. Illustrations of the different phases of printing were given. Next came a display made by the paper trade, the art of lithographing and blank-book manufacture. The fifth " division was headed by the University of Pennsylvania, which was represented in tbe demonstration of a century ago, and following its educational apparatus came tbe various educational institutions and the United States Indian training school, illustrating the advancement of the civilization of their men. At the head of this procession were several mounted Indians from tbe West, including representatives of various nations, dressed in the paraphernalia incident to Indian warfare. The children from the Indian training schools showed their skill in the industrial arts and sciences on floats. The Girard Collece pupils and cadets of the Soldiers' Orphans ' Institute also took part in the display. Division 6 represented the building trades of Philadelphia and was one of the largest in line. Representations were made of every branch of the building industry. Division seven was a representation of saw, engine and tool-works. Division eight was composed of tbe volunteer firemen's associations, with their old apparatus, compared with the firemen and apparatus of to-day, being a complete review of the fire department extending over a hundred years. The ninth division was a complete exhibit of the manner of brewing beer, displaying models of breweries of the last century with those of modern times, a cooper-shop, and other adjuncts of the trade. Division ten was made up of an interesting representation of the United States Mint, showing two coining presses in operation, and old-style coiner and other features of money-making. There were 300 employes of the mint in line, followed by eight hundred employes of the postoffice, and floats representing tbe workings of a postoffice. Division eleven was taken tip by the Knights of the Golden Eagle, who had 5,000 men in uniform in line and several floats bearing tableaux representing "Fidelity, Valor and Honor," the motto of the order. Division 12 was a display of the products of the textile industry. Division 13 was taken up with a display of silk manufacture, which was complete in every detail. Division 14 was a representation of the clothing trade, which included on floats a sheep pasture containing a number of sheep watched by boys in Highland costume. Other stages of the industry were faithfully portraved. Division 15 was a display by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and was one of the largest and most complete in tbe line. The progress in the mode of traveling, from the revolutionary era to the present time, was fully and graphically presented. On the numerous floats in this division were pack-moles, a genuine Conestoga wagon, a Concord coach, a representation of canal service,

seven civil engineers in uniform, delineating the first step in the construction of a railway line, men laying rails and ballasting, switch signals. tools, a wooden model of the oldest locomotive in America, weighing 4,000 pouuds, contrasted with a new locomotive weighing over 52.000 pounds, and a train of six miniature cars. This miniature train was equipped with a full crew. Division sixteen was a complete ship building and naval exhibit, including a large model of the "John Fitch," the first steam boat that plied tbe Delaware river, in 186, propolled by six long paddles connected in a crude manner with a wheel, which, in tho original vessel, was turned by a steam engine; also, an exact model of the Japanese iron-clad Mamwa Kan, constructed in England, with modern--! electric search lights and steam windlasses. Division seventeen comprised the government displav, which included a model of tho first steam ship that ever crossed the Atlantic, several tableaux with children and ladies representing the States, model of the old United States man-of-war Hartford, old-fashioned specimens of the thirty-two-pounder naval gun, the hieh-power ten-inch gun and tbe high-power thirteen-inch gun, a model of the training ship Antietam, models of a turreted iron monitor, a whaleboat, and the new cruiser Charleston, now building at San Francisco. The last ot the naval exhibit included a display of modern life-saving apparatus and a crew from one of the life-saving stations illustrating its use. Division IS inclnded electrical machinery, lights and ceramics. Division 19 was made un of civic societies. Divisions 21, 22 and 23 were miscellaneous ones. To give au idea of the enormous proportions of the industrial pageant, it may be stated that at ten minutes past 2 o'clock only seven of the twenty-three divisions had passed by the reviewing stand, and by the time the seventh division had passed southward the head of the column bad arrived on their countermarch, having traveled twenty-three squares south of Market street. The march was made without casualities further than that an unknown man dropped dead near Chestnut street, presumably from heart disease, and a little girl was somewhat injured in a crowd. Among tbe Governors occupying seats on the reviewing stand were Larrabee, ot Iowa; Beaver, of Pennsylvania; Hughes, of Arkansas; Buckner, of Kentucky; Thayer, of Nebraska; Pennoier, of Oregon; Wilson, of West Virginia; Foraker, of Ohio; and Fitz Hugh Lee. of Virginia. At sunrise this morning the United States war vessels, now anchored in the Delaware river, began their part in the celebration. A salute of thirteen guns was fired from each one of them. One hour later tbe Queen Emma followed with a salute of eleven guns. All of these vessels are handsomely decorated with bunting and flags, and to-night they were illuminated with Chinese lanterns. Beautiful pyrotechnic displays were made from all the vessels in the harbor this evening. President Cleveland and party arrived here at 8:30 to-night, and were at once driven to the Lafayette Hotel. Governor Reaver's Reception. Philadelphia, Sept 15. Governor Beaver shook bands with fully fifteen thousand people this evening at his public reception in one of the galleries of the Academy of Fine Arts, and numbered among his visitors no less distinguished a person than the President of the United States. The Governor was assisted by the contennial commissions committee on invitations and aids, the introductions being made by Messrs. John Hugeard and John W. Woodside. President Cleveland arrived ten minutes before 10 o'clock, accompanied by Secretaries Bayard and Fairchild and the citizens' committee on the reception of distinguished guests. The President entered the reception-room arm in arm with Chairman Thompson, by whom he was presented to the Governor. The meeting was a very cordial one. The usual compliments were exchanged, the Prcsiden t speaking in almost an inaudible voice. When the handshaking had ceased, Governor Beaver waved his hand to an elevation behind him on which were grouped several Governors and other distinguished guests. "Go up on the platform, Mr. Cleveland," he said; "you will find some old friends there, and make soma new ones, I hope." President Cleveland at once found himself the center of an admiring throng, and was at the same time the recipient of a warm greeting from those in the Governor's line. Finding the accommodations on the platform somewhat limited, he stepped down by the side of Governor Beaver, where the introductions and handshaking continued for fuliy fifteen minutes, when other pressing engagements demanded his departure. Secretaries Bayard and Fairchild also enjoyed a fair share of attention. Ex-President Hayes arrived about ten minutes after 9 o'clock, and was soon followed by General Sheridan, who had just come from a camp-fire given in his honor by Post No. 2, G. A. It., where he made a brief speech to old comrades. The Governors of other States who called upon Governor Beaver during the evening were Fitzbugh Lee. of Virginia; Sawyer, of New Hampshire; Uice, of Minnesota; Wilson, of West Virginia; Lloyd, of Maryland: Foraker. of Ohio; Bodwell, of Maine; Lounsbury. of Con necticut; Ames, or Massachusetts; Green, of New Jersey; Scales, of North Carolina, and Davis, of Rhode Island. Reception to Cardinal Gibbons. Philadelphia, Sept 15. One of the most brilliant reoeptions ever accorded a Catholio prelate ia this city was given this evening at the

Catholic Club to his Eminence. Cardinal Gibbons," of Baltimore. The Cardinal arrived at tbe

club shortly before 8 from that hour until o'clock he continued the many distinguished guests, after 10 "o'clock two carriages o'clock, and half-past 10 to receive A few minutes drove up to the club, from the first of which alighted President Cleveland, Secretary ot State Bayard and Thos. M. Thompson, chairman of- - tbe citizens' committee apnoinced to receive and escort the President In the other carriage was Secretary Fairchild, Georee B. Roberts, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company; Col. G H. Banes, G. W. Childs and B. K.Jamiesson. The eentlemen in the club vigorously applauded the entrance of the chief magia trate, and Cardinal Gibbons advanced to meet bim. As the head of the nation and the prince of tbe Catholic Church in America grasped hands tbe applause was renewed. The guests crowded around the President so closely that he was led to one corner of the room. Then the eentlemen formed in line, and each shook hands with him in turn. After all present had paid their respects, the presidential party retired, going to the Lafayette HoteL Prior to the entrance of the President, ex-President Hayes and all the Governors and their staffs called on the Cardinal. HOW TO GET RICH. General Butler Gives Some Pratical flints to Yonng Men on the Art of Acquiring Wealth. Boston Herald. I have received your note asking me to write some practical hints for young men on the acquirement of wealth, which may be published. A difficult task is set me, as the circumstances under which young men commence life are so widely varied. But I think that more young men fail in the investment of what they earn or receive than in any other way to acquire property. The temptations to speculation are so great, aud the desire to become suddenly rich so strong, that I believe eight of ten, if not more, of young men are wrecked at the very beginning. If a young man is earning something more than the expenses of his living, and has no object in view, he is likely either to increase those expenses carelessly, or to loan his money to his friends,' and in so doing in the majority of cases he will lose both friends and money, so that the best thing that be can do is to have an object, to gather np his money, and to have a cali for it which shall be a profitable one. He makes no investment because he says, "I have got so little money that it won't come to anything; I will wait until I get more;" and in waiting, generally, what he has goes. When a young man has a very little money let him buy some property, preferably a piece, however small, according to his means, of improved real estate that is paying rent He had better buy it when sold at auction, under a judicial sale, paying in cash what he can, giving his notes for the balance in small sums coming due at frequently recurring intervals, secured by a mortgage on the property, and then use all his extra income in paying up those notes. It is always safe to discount your own note, and if the notes come a little too fast, as soon as he gets anything paid his friends will aid him when be is putting his money where it cannot be lost, and where the property is taking care of the interest, and in a very short time be will find that he has got a very consid erable investment. He will become interested in it, save his money to meet his notes, and he will directly come into a considerable possession of property, and hardly know how it came to him. That is, he will have had a motive for saving, and will get the result of that saving. and will not be tempted to enter into specula tions. isotning is so sate ror an investment as improved real-estate. Nothing is likely to grow in value faster. In the last fifty years, 90 per cent, of all the merchants and traders in Boston have failed. In the last fifty years, 90 per cent, of all the business corporations have failed or crone ont of business, so that tbeir stock has been wiped out In the last f fty years all the improved real estate, on the average, has paid its interest and taxes and quadrupled in value. If a young man s father can eive him anything to start him in the world, he had better invest it in that way and let it accumulate, and earn his living, and he will be richer than if be bad gone into business. Jay Gould is said to have started from a mouse-trap seller to become a millionaire. Assuming that to be true, he is only one of 60,000.000. of people, and if any young man thinks that he is going to imitate Jay Gould, there are 60,000,000 of chances to one that he won t succeed. The rule I would lay down for a young man is never do a moan thing for money. Be prudent and saving of your money. Be careful to have no interest account running against you unless you have an equal or greater interest account running in your favor. Work diligently and you are sure of a competency in your old age, and , as early as possible, if you can find a saving, prudent girl who has been brought up by a mother who knows how to take care of a house and make a wife of her, she will aid, and not hinder you. I claim no originality in this advice, and will relate you an incident in my own experience to illustrate it: In my earliest practice in my profession 1 was quite successful in earning money, and I had a small balance in the Lowell Bank, at the head of which was Mr. James G. Carney. The bank was directly across the hall from my office. I stepped into the bank to deposit a little money on one occasion, and Mr. Carney said to me, "Why don't yon invest your money?" "Invest," said I; "I have nothing to invest." "Oh, yes," he says, "you have quite a little sum of money, and I see that your young friends come with your checks occasionally, evidently borrowing it Now, you had better invest it." "How can I invest it?" "Invest it in real estate." "Go to the first auction and buy the property. You cannot be much cheated in that because you will have to give very little more than somebody else will be willing to pay for it Give your notes for it, save your money, collect your fees, pay your notes as they become due. See that the property is improved property, so that the rent will keep down your interest account, and when you get any other money invest it in the same way, and if your notes press upon you a little faster than you can pay them, why, we will, when we find that is what you are doing with your money, discount your note and give you a little more time so that you can pay it up. This wiil necessitate the prompt collection of your bills, for I know that you would rather work and earn a hundred dollars than dun a man for it, unless you have a pressing need for it. You have not even asked for a little bill that we owe you in the bank, which shows me that you do not promptly collect your dues." I followed the advice aud bought a number of pieces of property in that manner, and I never did exactly know how they were paid for, but they were, and in a few years I owned some twenty different pieces of property in Lowell that came to me in that way. I can only say that 1 wish I had been wise enough to have continued this course through life. I do not think I need to extend these suggestions any further, because if a young man won't mind these be won't any others, and I can not suggest any better ones. TO COUNTKliFEIT IS DEATH.

We were shown, yesterday, by Mr. John Braziel, clerk of the Rankin House, an old threepence piece of revolutionary days. It has been in the possession of Mr. Brazeil's family for generations. One cf his ancestors fought, bled and died during that time, and on his body, among other effects, was found the note, which then could purchase a gallon of liquor,, a pound of tobacco, half a nigger, and small assortments of most everything else except tea, of which our forefathers appeared to be particularly fond, as a tax on that beverage which cheers, but does not inebriate, precipitated the struggle. It is printed on coarse linen paper, and on the reverse side appears these words: "112008 Three Pence.

Montgomery County 3Ian Charged with Abducting a Girl for Base Purposes. Murderer Wise Released on Bail-Cass County Declines to Honor the Sheriff's Bill for Capturing the Greens Gleanings. INDIANA. J olm Taylor Arrested for Abdnctlng a Tonne Girl Escape of the Prisoner. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Attica, Sept. 15. At a late hour last night John Taylor was arrested at the Revere House, in this city, on the charge of abducting a girl for the purpose of prostitution. The girl's name is Julia Sims, and the warrant was sworn out by her father,' who lives two miles northwest of Independence, Warren county. When arrested, Taylor and the girl had disrobed, and were preparing to retire, having registered as man and wife, Taylor was taken to Independence at once, where his trial will come np today. After he had gone the girl was interviewed. She is one day over sixteen years old, not very preposessing in appearance, and she talked with a coolness that was astonishing for one of her age. She said that she went to live with Taylor's family, near Crawfordsville, last April, and while there he had . illicit relations with her. Shortly after, she went away with him, and the two have since been traveling over the country together, though Taylor occasionally returned to Crawfordsville to see his wife and two children. Last Sunday Taylor and the girl went to her father's. Tbe latter was justly indignant at the manner in which Taylor had taken advantage of his daughter, and a tragedy would have resulted had not the girl spirited Taylor away. Yesterday Taylor came to this city, got drunk, and then returned to Sims's. He demanded tbe girl, and swore that he would kill her if she did not go with him. To prevent bloodshed, the girl says, she came to Attica with him, expecting to leave him here and return to her home. As soon as they started' the irate father at once sent a constable after them, with the result as above stated. The girl says that when she first went away with Taylor she did so willingly, but that now she wants to return to her home, aud that she stays with him only through fear. Later. During the night Taylor, though hand-cuffed, escaped from the constable. Martin's Murderer Released on Rail. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Loqansport, Sept. 15. Joseph Wise, mur derer of Wm. Martin, was admitted to bail by Judge Winfield to-day, being required to file an additional bond of $5,000. A legal question of considerable consequence arose in this case. The June grand jury returned an indictment against "Wise for manslaughter, while the present one found a bill for murder in the second degree upon which he was rearrested. Wise's counsel contend that the action of the. present grand jury is absolutely void, inasmuch as a previous grand jury had investigated the matter, but Judge Winfield held that the investigation by the first grand jury did not preclude the present one from acting in the premises. His trial is, set for Oct. 3, and will be hotly contested. A TVell-Dlet-er's Deadly Fall. Special to the IndianaDolis Journal. vans vi cle, Sept. 15.

Captain Scrlbner's Visit to IMtcalrn It land Prosperity of the Inhabitants. . Philadelphia Record. An interesting account of a visit to Piteairn island, the home of the descendants of the mutineers of the famous ship Bounty, is given by Captain Scribner, of the clipper ship St. Frances, now lying at Almond-street wharf, which stopped at the island on June 8. while bound from. San Francisco to this port. It is very rare that a visit is paid to the children of the famous mutineers, though several instances are recorded where the islanders i have boarded vessels at anchor off their rocky coast. This solitary island is situated in lat. 25J3'G' south, long.l308' east, and has but one landing place, Bounty Bay, where Captain Scribner and his 'family were landed in boats manned by tbe islanders. The island is about two and a quarter miles long, and its lofty volcanic peaks can be seen many miles at sea. In the year 1790, while the English war-ship. Bounty, was homeward bound. the crew mutinied and the officers were put to death. The rebellious crew took charge of the vessel and landed at Tahita. but afterward went to Norfolk and Piteairn islands. In 1825 Captain Beechey, while cruising the Soujh Pacific in an English war-ship, discovered the home of the mutineers. The leaders were taken to England and punished for their crimes. The first person to greet the visitors was Simon Young, a grandson of the leading mutineer and the patriarch and principal man of the island. Captain Scribner describes the place as a paradise peopled with handsome and well-developed women of sterling character. The entire population numbers 111 souls, two-thirds of whom are females. The disproportion is caused by so many men leaving their homes on whalers, and when once they get to the settled portions of the globe they seldom return to Piteairn. A consignment of clothing and other presents from, the people of San Francisco were given to the islanders from the St. Frances, after which all hands repaired to the little chapel, where one of the dusky belles entertained the crowd with music from an organ sent out as a present from Queen Victoria on an English war ship. Each family has a separate tract ot laud for its own use. There is also a store-house, thatched with palms from the bread-fruit tree, and its con' tents are divided among the families in proportion to the population by tbe patriarch, Simon Young, A complete change has been made in the form of worship of the islanders, a missionary sent by the Seventh-Day Adventists from San Franeisco having converted the entire population from the Church of England.
