Jay Gould the secretive financial mastermind exposed
A New York correspondent portrays Jay Gould as a small yet formidable figure, a cowardly but calculating operator. The narrative recalls the 1865 gold conspiracy, Gould’s meticulous secrecy, and his habit of masking his plans from partners, with anecdotes of his avoidance of recognition and control over vast wealth. It concludes by noting Gould’s supposed $6 million gain from a hidden restitution event.

Veresque Reflections on Whiskey and Morality in Ingersoll Lecture
The excerpt quotes a late lecture by Bob Ingersoll arguing that alcohol drew people toward virtue and humanity in colonial America, contrasting whiskey's influence in Scotland and New England with Presbyterian oppression. The speaker prefers human frailty over the cruelty attributed to a stern deity and mocks harsh theological doctrines.
