f New York Letter. The arrest' of a Japanese- y onng man who
imagined that a daughter of the late Wil
liam II. Vanderbllt was in love with him
and wildly sought her throughout his board
ing house, leads to the discovery that the
residences of the Vandeibilts, the Astors
and Jay Oould are constantly guarded
against cranks by private detectives. Imobotes Goto, the Japanese in the present case,
had been a student here for two years. He
was rieb and cultured. Gentlemen of Japan
are under no ban in New York, and he met
some of the anderbilts socially, though his acquaintance with them is slight. Hfl was
aa attendant on religious services and lec
tures of the loan Men 8 Christian Associa
tion, and in that way knew Cornelius Vanderbilt, wbo Is actirely interated in that
field or Dhi antnropr. 1 nereis no unmar
ned daughter of the late millionaire, ana the lady who be insanely regarded as his
sweetheart is the wife of Seward Webb, who
has not so much as a nodding knowledge or
him. Before his mania rendered him a nui
sance in.nis ooarpmg-noos ne was tnree
times ejected from the reception room of w ii ' 1 1 ; . ir i i L-: 1 - .' n n

Dassion. Ln eacn occasion ne Drougm
tokens of aSection in the shape of rare Jarenese ceramics. Twice he sent up his
card, and the first time was seen by Webb,
who promptly turned him out. Un his second call he departed at the bidding of a ser
vant, who had been ordered to do so it be
came again. His tbird enort was irustraiea
bv a detective, who intercepted him at the
doorstep and drove him off.
The private service lor tne protection oi the Vanderbilts, Astors and Gould was or
ganized three years ago, and is ostensibly
separate for each family, tnougn tne men
wno derend the andrrouts ana AStorsare provided by the came establishment, and practically work together. Regular patrol duty is done, night aLd day. and twenty detectives are exclusively employed for Ibe
Duroose. There are four Astor residences
and rive belonging to tbe Vanderbilf. all in or close to Fifth avenue, between Thirty-
third and Fifty-second streets. The spies are on watcn eight hours each ir day, and
tbe beats are so arranged that the nine bouses
cannot be approached unseen by ore or more f the guardsmen. William II. Van derbilt was the originator of this bj stem, and
he was incited to it by the large number of
cranky letters which he received. He pro
fessed to hare no fear ot rational evil dors.
but was apprehensive that maniacs nnght
attack bini or some member of hit family. Since his death the mails have been laden
with all sorts of appeals, demands and
threats directed to his sons.
Jav Gould's self-protectiou is more secret
and characteristic. He does not entrust it to
a detective agency, but hires his own bodyguard. For years he has always been accom
panied by a stalwart young ieiiow. uui mat is a safeguard against Wall street enemies. Cranks who might cut up capers in or around
his home are under the view ot spies whose quarters are in a room of the Windsor Hotel, across the way. That is additional to patrol duty done by a separate f-et of men. These employes of tbe millionaire families whose names are poor people's synonyms for wealth, are kept informed as tu every new demonstration ty a crank, and they are alert to d scry and drive off the monomaniac who attempts any exploits. During the Western strikes Jay Gould has made the trips between bis home and office in a cab, instead of elevated car, as formerly; and it is ob
served that a ring at his bell brings a saunt
ering watchman to the foot of the steps about as quickly as it dries the servant to the top. One of the defenses in Gould's case is against
those wbo would write antagonistic sentl
ments with chalk on his sidewalk and steps.
Men and boys are frequently caught at it and compelled to desist. A specimen of that
class of revolutionist seemed to he a poet.
and a wild one. judging from the description of him. His cbalk was bright red, and
he rapidly wrote, "The rich may shirk. Tbe poor muat work,"
before he was collared: and then, as though
determined that at least the terminal rhymes ot bis verse should be emblazoned, he added
to what would have been the end of the line,
"Labor," and right underneath, 'Neighbor."
Tbe rest remains unknown.

Mr. J. M. Carico, a native of Virginia, who
was Kobert E. Lee a courier when a mere boy, gives the following reminiscences of
tbe old southern commander to a reporter.
"I was detatched from infantry service
and put into Lee's body guard before I was sixteen years old. This body guard was made up of scouts, guards and couriers, my duty being to carry Lee's field elasges. and
also special dispatch bearer along tbe line of
battle. "Strange as it may seem, my older broth
ers, with whom I lived, were In symyathy with the North, and when, as a boy, I announced my intention of volunteering in Lee's service, my oldest brother, who was a large and powerfully built man, took me out into a green field, and lifting me in his great arms, told me to look across a gentle knoll at
oca father's grave. "There," said he, earnestly; "I would
rather see you lying quietly with father
man to snow you would take up arms against tbe o'd flag." In this way my brothers sought to discourage me, but to no
purpose. The love of battle was on me, and
hied by the name and courage of tbe sohle l,f e, I set out to follow his fortunes and that of the South. It is a sad memory for me that I never saw my older brother after I left home. lie and my other brother were finally cot icripted into the Federal service, and the one wbo had taken me into hia arms and loved me as a father miehU fills
somewhere in tbe lovely South.
AH t'RKNOWX QKAVR. "Aa for Lee's character, it came as near to having the rugged bravery of a warrior, together with the tenderness of a child, as any that I have ever seen, or even imagined. Rob
ert E. Lee was wise, firm and brave, yet as gen-
tie in time of need with those wbo served nim
as a mother is with her child. He alwavs
touched his bat in return to the salutions of his men, and always discountenanced being made much over in any way by his troops.
lie was an unassuming man, who never wore badges of distinction or took advantage of
on position in any way to make himself
famous. He disliked to be cheered particularly, and his troops learning this fact soon ceased to annoy him with demonstrations.
COM FEDERATE RATION.
"I remember once a snrly private soldier
enclosed a slice of racon in an envelope and
sent it to Lee, wun a note wnicn said be bad nothing else to eat for three days. I was with Lee when he received this insulting missive.
and I know that the expression of his face
did not change and that be did not utter one
word. He sat down at once and wrote to the soldier that he was indeed sorry the rations of tbe army were so low and that he hoped for better days. In bis note he enclosed the bacon, which in due tine I presume reached the complaining Southerner and made him ashamed of himself. The absolute poverty of the Southern array in those days is well known, and was one of the calamities which
hastened defeat. BELIEVINQ 15 GOD AND PUAYER.
"Lee was a praying man. I don't know whether he was a church member or not, but I do know that he never entered a battle, or even left his tent, in the morning, without
invoking God's blessing on the day. When
ever he came to a village, neighborhood or
station, on bunday, where there was a church,
he always stopped long enough to attend ser
vice, even though his time was very nrecioua.
He believed in God and in prayer to a greater
extent, perhaps, man any otner southern
general. HIS AIM TO BAVK LIVES.
"tee's object in battle was not victory alone, but the saving of human lives, I have
beard bim express great sorrow when look
ing upon a nelflk oi ms own dead. It seemed
at those times as if his great, mtcly heart were breaking with grief. Compared to the men of the North his forces were few, and their property was such a curse that, taking
both these things into consideration, he n?verxould have accomplished anything had it not been for the love they bore him, which
teemed to lend strength to tboir impover
ished bodies, and courage to their sinking
hearts. WHEN LITE WAS SACRIFICED.
"I remember that at the battle of Bristow
Station, Lee ordered General A. P. Hill to
flank the enemy. The latter played Hill's
menainck with the artillery and Lee or
dered them Hill's men right into tbe thick
of the fight. Iiee won a victory over the
.North that day, but it cost him a wealth o
human life. The battle only lasted half an
hour, out it was as hot and terrible as any I
ever saw. I have often wished that some
ereat poet mieht have seen Lee as he walked
over that battle field and looked at all those
dead Itodies."

ing, won Id you?
lbe old man said never a word In reply. She Paid Too Much. (Providence Journal.
Late on Friday evening a man about forty
years of age stood upon the Globe Bridge, at
Voonsocket, with his wife beside him. tnreatening to commit suicide by jumping into
the Blackstone Kiver if she did not give him
twenty-rive cents. The wife pleaded and
begged, saying she needed the money to pur
chase food with, and he would only speud it
for drink should she give it to him. He
placed bis hand on the railing to the bridge
and again shouted to his better half to give
him the money or over -he would go. She
implored tbe crowd of people wbo had eath
ered near to save him, but no one interfered. A voice from the crowd sang out: "Let him
go." but she still clung to him. Finally she released her hold. and. putting her band in
her pocket, brought forth a silver quarter
and laced it in his hand. He siezed it eag
erly, and started on a lively run for a saloon
near by, while the poor woman started for
her home to oner a prayer for him, whose life she thought she had saved for twenty-fiye cent?. Leave Church Decently. If, instead of the closing anthem, some of the ministers should at the close of the service, 5ive tbe orders: "Attention, worshippers! r hats, dive! For overcoats go! Jerk, twist, plunge! Make yourselves ridiculous all!" the effect would hardly be a variation from the present style ot getting ready to go out of church. The singing of the doxology seems to be the signal for a general putting on and adjustment, and when the benediction is pronounced the ruffled congregation look more like jumping out of the windows, or uniting in a crushing and crowding race for the doors than listening to the solemn words of tbe good pastor. At one of our well-filled churches, on Sunday evening, it was observed that at least every third man was going through thete ridiculous motions while the services were closing, although the sermon had been excellent. Why do not people wait until the proper time to do these things? There is a time for everything, but that time does not always occur during church services.

Outside Help. It is a habit easily acquired to look to almost anything outside of ourselves for strength and happiness. We lean upon parents, teachers, friends, systems, opportunities, promises, anything sooner than upon our own unflagging industry and unswerving honesty. We depreciate our own powers and exaggerate the ability of others to assist us. Yet ibe fact is that no one, however able and however willing, can do for us one tithe of what we can do for ourselves. They can bat open for ns we alone can enter. If we are evr to amount to anything in our lives, it must be through individual thought; if we are to attain any moral elevation of character, it can only be through tbe patient and earnest culture of tbe individual conscience.
