A gentleman wbo artlved from West

nearly tbe entire burnt district at Fagundas

ol buildings. It Is surprising how rspidly
these oil towns do build up, in the very face
Of the are fiend. Tbe business men of tbe
oil region are of that active energetic class
that will not be put dowu by either Ore or

They're resting after duty.
Tbeir heds were spread with vernal abeen,
Two angels came and made them green
The sunshine and tbe showers;
Now let them be with garlands spread
By living comrades of tbe deed
And maidens human flowers;
God's beautiful thoughts are flowers.
And while tbe rsce shall here be free,
And while we all shall equal be
Throughout this land of ours
For aye, for aye, tbe Thirtieth Day
Of ever welcome, beautiful May,
Shall be the day for flowers
For soldiers dead and flowers.
Not Dead. There Is nothing good and
beautiful that dies and is forgotten.
An infant, a prattling child, dying in lis
cradle, will live again In tbe better thoughts
of those who loved it, and play Its part,
though its body be burned to ashes, or
drowned in the deepest sea. There is not
an angel added to the hosts ot heaven but
does iu blessed work on earth by those that
loved it here.
Deadl Ob, If tbe good deeds of human
creatures could be traced to tbeir source,
bow beautiful would even death appear;
for bow much charity, meroy, purified affec
tion, would be seen to bave tbeir growth in
dusty graves. Charles Dickens.
Twain on Meanness. Mark Twain pro
duces one ol the most striking cases of
meanness on record. Be says be koows of
an incorporated society which hired a man
to blast a rock, and was puacbing powder
in with a crowbar when a premature ex
plosion followed, sending the man and crow
bar out of sight. Both csme down again
all right, and tbe man went to work again
promptly. But though be was gone only
fifteen minutes, tbe company "docked him
for lost time."
At Oleopolis, on Saturday, a lady with
a little child In her arms got aboard tbe
Oil Creek train, and In so doing, dropped
ber parasol in tbe aisle. A polite doctor
from Petroleum Centre supposing It to bave
been dropped by a lady that bad just left
tbe oar, mado a rush lor It and passed it
through tbe car window to tbe crowd on tbe
platform. By this time tbe train bad got
under motion and when tbe owner claimed
it in a loud voice It bad passed beyond
reach. Tbe doctor looked as it bo would
sell out on "reasonable terms." Cor. Erie
Dispatch.
In a time ol much religious excitement
and consequent discussion, an bonest Dutcb
farmer on the Mohak was asked bis opinion
as to which denomination of Christians
were on the way to heaven. "Veil, den,"
'ven we ride our what to Albany, some say
dish road is de best, and some dat; but it
don't make much difference wbioh road we
dake, for when we get dere dey never ask
vlcb vay we come aod It's none of dere

Tbe Exchange Hotel, Fraoklin. will be

A rspturoos noel thus describes the man

she'll say, "Do go nway do, wont you let

Death or aw Old Citizen. By refer
ring to our list ol deaths, it will be seen
that the Hon. William Connely Is dead.
Mr. Connely was tbe oldest citizen in tbe
county, and a man of remarkable memory
and varied experience, passing from tbe
days of pioneer hardships to tbe easo and
comfort of tbe present, and it is to be re
gretted that a more detailed and explicit
history of bis lira could cot bave been pub
lished, as is now prevented by tbe mis
placing of some papers containing data In
dispensable to a complete record of bis life.
It is to be hoped these papers, which were
prepared by Mr. Connelv himself, will soon
come to light and thus afford a fitting record
of one of the most remarkable men of tbe
community. With such a tenacious memory
as be was gifted, enabling bim to recall tbe
lively and interesting scenes of Ibe pioneer
and Revolutionary days,be must bave pre
pared a paper which was almost Invaluable
to local history. We hope to be able some
day to tell of the finding of tbe reeords and
to publish tbem. Franklin Spectator.
Taat Moral Rbinoceriocb.
For ways that are dark,
And tricks that are vain,
This last Circus Is peculiar
Which tbe same wh would rise
to explain.
A recently discharged emplaye give tbe
ludicrous Information, that tbe Great Uni
corn of Holy Writ, was a mere Imitation In
gutta percba, and not a live animal. That
by a simple piece of machinery it rose tip
aod Imitated some of the motions of an ani
mal. Tbe absence or water about tbe eage
of so aquatio an animal, bad aroused tbe
suspicion of some of our amateur naturalists
and this information will not surprise tbem
much. As to us, as we never go to see the
animals, but for tbe sole purpose of viewing
tbe immoral circus (so called) we do not
consider ourselves sold.

Chicago is a funny city. Tbe authorities
