New York, Feb. 17. Union Pa cific stock opened this morning at S69, and suddenly jumped to 79, then fell to S75, and again advanced to 77i. Wall street was puzzled by these extraordinary fluctuations, and a wing formed of rumor was current. The reason assigned is that Jay Gould sold to a pool of speculative capitalists 100,000 shares at 75. According to report, this syndicate includes Russel Sage, James R. Keene, Addison Cam mach, C. G. Osborne, D. P. Morgan, W. L. Scott and others. It is also ru mored that the board of directors will bo changed; that Jay Gould goes out, and that representatives of tho new onl the moral and finatic.ifd dp-ttiiir nf millions in tin. countrv. but sendine to ibu'ers S -ato o board as one of the .. ,- ,.u on nnr conditions of tho transactions.

It shall be the duty of the; Sec retary to keep the minutes of all iWst- J Df course, we idea can be formed of tho great profit which this transaction has brought him. It is understood that Gould has for om6 time contemplated retiring from active business, and that this is his .reason for thi3 step. Gentlemen well informed as to Gould's affairs state the sale of his Union Pacific interest was tho greatest operation ill eventful history of this remarkable operator, and that he was probably wealthier to day than ever before. Men's Fashion. Adams' Bazar, a fashion monthly, is about to adopt a new featurp, viz: the illustration and description of fashions for gentlemen. It is hoped tho proprietor of the Ba zaar will not placo the new department in tho hands of the person who des cribes tho female fashions. It would sound odd to read that "gentleman's trowsers this season are cut bias in the legs and trimmed with chenille fringe at the knees; coats are longer in the I'ails, and are worn without an over- skirt; vests are cut decollete in the neck, and are profusely trimmed with gimp braid. Skirts are still worn, but tho po.onaiso is dispensed with; dress coats for parties are belted in the cor nge, and tho corsage basque is worn tight, and." But this is sufficient. should know at once cease to wish and vjii- der while it exists any more than the tido of the ocean ceases to ebb and to flow. Rich and poor, high and low, young and old the niind works as reg ular as a pendulum. Even when one awakes at the dead hour of night one moment the mind reflects. The mind must work for good or evil. Since this fact connot be controverted, I will to another step. A B, and C, are neighbors. They take no newspapers one small one at the most. They have no books, do not read them if they have. When their day's labor ceases, they with their families gather around the blazing fire and tho family chat commences. They do not read hence their minds do not feed On any intellectual theme, must dive intosome subject of no importance or in to some neighborhood affair some other neigh bor's business. Mr. so and so killed a bear and a jack rabbit but his next neighbor stolo a rake tooth, a sow pig or a cow. A. calls in B. and their conversation i3 what C. has or has not done. If he is making money, and does not live by borrowing, he is sure ly dishonorable, if poor ho is a lazy scamp, and deserves hanging. Thus C's faults are ventilated. They consider his business and neglect their own, their own faults are passed "gently by." Their minds ramble into tho mclevo lent channel of discord, and turmoil, continuing on the downward beat until it is gulped into tho vortex of misery i u uiiiuiabo ULstitcua?, tutu ui lub i their better nature becomes a sham. A tells C. that B said so and so, a feud ensues, and then retaliation steps in and gives ihe war whoop and a general wranglo results. Then comes spite- work which flics to tho grand jury, and reports a case which will put the coun ty to a few hundred dollar's expense. Their turbulent spirit onco aroused, perhaps some quiet peaceable citizen will suffer and fall a prev to their m- our" carnate revenge and design, as though ings of said society and conduct ceirreE' pondenco as by the society directed. Any person may become.a membjer of the Union Temperance -League byi sub scribing to tho following obligation: I do of my own free will, in trQ be lief of Almighty God and in tho pres ence of theso witnesses, solemnly prom ise to abstain for ever from the vise of all spirituous liquors as a jbeveragej and, that I will discountenance in .all lawful ways their make or sale jflBount ries.

T. -pjbLM then what the writer meant, but there are some fashionable gentlemen whose ed ucation has been awfully neglected in this particular. "Norristown Herald." An Irishman remarked to his com panion, on observing a lady pass: "Pat did you ever see so thin a woman as that before" "Thin!" replied the oth er. "Eotherashertt I. seen a woman as thin as two of her put together, so I have. A veiy large number of English landlords are returning from ten to fif teen per cent to their tenants on the last half year's rent. A New York shopkeeper has writ ten on his door : "Every one shuts the door but you." he were one of their ilk. This class of people, should be pitied more tlian blamed. How is it withDEandF. They have books, and take plenty newspa pers. They work, and their minds are environed within their pursuit. When their daily labor ceases, they pick up a newspaper and enlighten themselves on business and general topics, and do not stoop to dissect their neighbors' affairs They are posted on religious, political and local matters, as well as in foreign markets and tho financial outlook. Tho former lead a miserable existanco and generally dio dishonored, while the latter elide alone through the vi cissitude of time an ornaments to so ciety. While tho former are machi nating some scheme to blacken the fair name of some neighbor, tho latter are devising some means of aiding the poor and ameliorating tho wants of tho dis tressed. Tho latter aro generally high spirited, and intelligent, while the for mer aro a cypher so far as intelligence is concerned. To tho latter class be long to just such men of whom the Sentinel gives biographical sketches each week. Kind readers havo you ever thought of this matter. To test tho truthfulness of my assertions, take your wifo and visit the -neighbor who docs take newspapers, and then the one who docs not, and you will not be long in deciding that newspapers are the surest specific for neighborhood wrangles. W. H. P. Big Butte, February 20th, 1879. 1 A Refined man is never "loud in his dress, for refinement is always al lied to simplicity and a judicious and tasteful employment of the means of tho good and happiness which it has to command. It seeks to divest itself of superfluities, and nspircs continually to the utmost possible puri ty. Refinement leads to personal cleanliness and elegant neatness. Need less display and bashfulness are alike irepungent to its spirit. erican in vuina, anu reicaHBF irq obligation, even not to enslave citizens New York, February 22d. Tho following is from a reliable correspon dent: Despite all the outcry on tlie subject, I believe that President Hayes will sign tho Chinese Immigration bill. When in Washington tliis week I learned from an excellent source that) the Cabinet informally considered this subject on Monday, when ihe general policy and aim of tho bill as it passed the Senate were overwhelmin"-" ly approved, but that if; was deemed advisill to procure certain amendments which, without impairing thee fficiency of the measure, will meet and disarm many of tho objections made by its op ponents. There is no doubt that tho purpose of tho visit to tho Capitol of certain members of tho Cabinet on Tuesday was to try to arrange for they non-concurrence by tho House in tho Senato amendments, with a view to tho reference of tho whole subject to a Conference for such reconstruction of tho bill as would command tho ap-f proval of all its friends without unnec, essary offending the more reasonablo among its opponents. Tho danger" most to be apprehended, however, isf that Speaker Randall and other of tho House Democratic leaders take less? interest in the subject than they did when supposing that tho Republican Senato would reject it. They passed that this would bring a great majority of voters on the Pacific coast into hos tility 'to the Republican party. It looks as if they would either hold the bill back in tho House so late that its opponents can talk it to death in tho closing hours, or would witholdtho amendments that tho President desires in tho House.
