Cealri, Who Wm Fint tu Hcpoiie in It.
The death of Mrs. Jay Gould, which
took place recently in New Yerk, occurs
when lies husband is understood te lx
withdrawing from nil business, nnd when
he would most need the nttcntlen of Ills
wlfe. Some thirty years age, when
Union squnre was bounded by dwellings,
en the corner diagonally opposite the
Everett heuse, lived Daniel O. Miller,
who made n fertune in tlie whelesale
grocery trade. At tlie tlme Jay Gould
lived nt the Everett house. Mr. Miller
and Mr. Gould purchased n controlling
Intoreet in the Itutland nnd Washington
railroad, nnd Jay Gould married Mr.
Miller's daughter.
Six children were the result of the
marrlage, the eldest of whom is Gcerge,
who married Edith Klngden, tlie actress;
nnd the youngest la about 13 years old.
Mrs. Gould brought her husband n dowry
of $80,000, which she lent te him te
make his fertune with. At first it
looked as though he would make his
wife a pauper instead of a millionaire;
but the event proved otherwise, Mrs.
Gould's fund was kept separate from
her husband's until recently, when he
turned ever te her seme 3,000,000.

THE aOUIJ UAD80LEUM. '
Mrs. Gould's burial place is at Wood Weed
lawn cemetery, New Yerk. Ver years
Mr. Gould owned n let there, but, It net
being te his taste, he turned it In te the
cometery authorities nnd lieught an aero
en an eminence nnd built a mausoleum.
Mrs. Gould Instigated the building of
this mausoleum. It is built something
after the fashion of the Parthenen at
-Athens, thouglr-the-Parthenon-is-Doric,
while the mausoleum is Ionic. It Ian
very plain, substantial structure of
lthode Island granite. 21 feet wlde, 83
feet long nnd CO feet high te the npex of
the reef. The columns are 104 feet high
and 13 Inches in diameter at the widest
part. Three rows of steps lead in te it
nil around the building. The interior is
0 feet long, 7 feet wlde and 18 feet high.
The fleer u a solid slab of marhle, and
the ceiling a solid slab of granite weigh
ing six tens. Along the sides of the in
terior nre the catacombs. The interior
walls nre of pink Tenncssce marble. The
crypt Is lighted by n Btalned glass window
at the end, which pictures a choir of
angels. The reef of the whele building
consists of grnulte slabs each weighing
fifteen tens, nnd thirty-two feet long.
Especial care was taken by Mr. Gould,
who watched the construction himself,
that there 6heuld be no ostentation. The
let cost $50,000 nnd the mausoleum $80,
000. It is the main point of interest te
theso who visit Woodlawn cemetary.

It was nt the tlme of Mr. nuchanan's
administration that the most marked
change in dinner giving commenced. A
new uiode of serving dinners came in,
mere expensive, of ceurse, for It necessi
tated additional servants and ether auxil
iaries. Gautler had opened a large con
fectionary and restaurant, and hed, with
Wormley, a monopoly of serving swell
dinners. Some of tlie mera old fashioned
in social life regarded his mede an in
novation and refused te acknowledge lie
superiority.
The most marked diffcrence consisted
In reforming the entrees and the wines,
etc., nerved with each. He it was who.
in place of the Sauterne or wine of that
character, served with the raw oysters,
with which all dinners commenced, fur

punch. It was white and frozen te the
consistency of cream. An amuBlng inci
dent of Uiis innovation occurred ntadin

the guests was Cel. Sam Stambnugh, of
Pennsylvania, a very noted political
leader in tliat day ana a friend of Mr.
Buclianan.
BAD BLOW AT rUNCII.
Tlie colonel was Inte, and he arrived
after the guests had finished oysters and
Jwncli, nnd were en the soup. He made
is njxilegy and took his scat. His oys
ters nnd punch awaited him, and con
versing with his nelghlier, he commenced
spreading the punch ever his oysters.
It was observed, of coume, nnd the
gentleman next him snldi "Colonel, ox ex
curo tne, but that is punch."
"Tlie it Isl" said the colonel; "I
thought it was herse radish."
The table was in n rear, and the colo
nel, n recognized authority In such mat-,
tern, denounced this new style nnd
pleaded In favor of the old fashion, and
gave a dinner a few e enlngs after, which
was served in the old style. It made no
Impression en the new style, hewever,
which continued te be thu rage, increas
ing in variety and cxiiensc.
The colonel's experience of the new
order that evening did net end with the
punch. With the desxert was served
what was then entirely new biscuit

Fashion, mero powerful tlian nnv op
position, was en the side of Gnuticr &
Wormley, nnd the old style gradually
was wiped out. Tlie dinners nt the ex
ecutive mansion were mere lavish under
Mr. Buchanan's administration. There
was a very iierceptible change in mede
nnd expensfveucas, nnd of ceurse It pro pre
vailed in the prlvnte dinners.
Slldcll and Benjamin gave expensive
dinners, and ene of your lejiresentntivcs
nt that tlme, Gen. Sickles, occupied n
line heuse en Lafayette tupiare nnd gave
most claltorate dinners nud suppers. He
lived most expensively, entertained lib

There was n geed deal of the swell
attributes in the entertainments of that
period w hlch might be attributed te the
example net nt the White lleuw. There
were several distinguished foreign vis
itors during the administration, nnd
they were entertained with lavish and
elegant hospitality, mid the example of
the president was followed.
The English minister at nleut that
time, Led Napier, entertained fre
quently and with great elegunce. He
was popular lxjyendnny of his predo prede predo
cesbors, waa ery general in his invita
tions, and mixed n geed deal with the
!oenlo of Washington, attending "stag"

gressional nnd official life of Washing

was given te him nnd Lady Napier by
senators and mcuiljcrs of concrete, offi
cials and citizens, uud n very haudsome
affair it was.
The foreign legations have nhvnvs ex

enjoyed u position tliat entitled them te
even- social uttcntlen. The iufluence of
wealth had, up te the close of Mr. Polk's
administration, made but little Impres

nrmy nnd navy nnd officials, made up
the social life of Washington, were as
belect as McAllister's 400.
There waa but little wealth among
them; competence nnd comfort were
nbeut the standard reached nt that tlme.
A few years changed It nil. The Inroad
of wealth dreve out the old substantial
style, and the new rcginie brought new
modes nnd larger expenditures.

Men will never take kindly te female
doctors. I suppose it may be nn unjust

very spoeny with a doctor. There isa
distinct prejudice in mankind against a
woman who has anything of a practical
nature, except about the heuse. He
doesn't mind it if she can hang pictures
and nail down carpets and sew en but
tons, but n sclentille woman is always
yleweil with suspicion. A male doctor,
for instance, always says it ia the liver or

ably say it waa the heart, nnd bhe would
very often be right. The ladles don't
