THE alarming Increase In the number of fright ful accidents, resulting in terrible deaths and the destruction of valuable proerly, caused by the Indiscriminate useof oils, Known under tho name of petroleum, prompts us to call your spe cial attention to an article which will, wherever I'SKD, remove the CAUSE ot such accidents. We allude to Carson's Stellar Oil FOR ILLUMINATINC PURPOSES. The proprietor of this Oil lias for several years felt the necessity of providing for, and presenting to the public, as a substitute fur the dangerous comiHiunds which are sent broadcast over the country, an oil that is SAFE and llitlLLIANT, aud entirely reliable. After a long series of labo rious and costly exerlnieiits, he has succeeded In providing, and now oiI.ts to the public, such a substitute In "CAHKON'S STELLAR OIL," It should be used by every family, 1ST, Because It is safe beyond a question. The primary purpose In the preparation of STELLAR OIL has been to make It PERFECTLY SAFE, thus Insuring the lives and property of those who use It. 2D, Because ft is the most BRILLIANT liquid 11- unilnator now known. 3D, Because It Is more economical, In the long run, than any of the dangerous oils and fluids now In too common uso. 4TII, Because It Is Intensely BRILLIANT, aud therefore economical, giving the greatest possi ble light at the least expenditure to the consum er. Its present standard of SAFETY AND BRILLIANCY will always be maintained, for upon this the proprietor depends for sustaining the high reputation the STELLAR OIL now eflfbyg. To prevent the adulteration of this with the ex- Iiloslve compounds now known under the name ot erosene. te., Hie., It Is put up for family use In Five Gallon cans, each can being scaled, and stamed with the trade-mark of the proprietor; It cannot be tiuiiered wit li between the manufac turer and consumer. None Is ueuuliio without the TRADE-MARK. STELLAR OIL Is sold only by weight, each can containing live gallon of six and a half pounds each, thus securing to every purchaser full meas ure. It Is the duty and interest of all dealers and consumers of Illuminating oil to use the STELLAR Ol I. only, because it uiune Is known to be safe aud reliable. 3- All orders should be addressed to j iiii: & co v I WHOLESALE A&ENTS, 136 South Front Btreot, 1 5 ly ' Philadelphia.

Some one remarked to MufTlington that Bibbs had beon on the lookout for a wife for some time, and bad "wooed and won." Mufilngton said, "Yes, a wooden one, Hint's just what Bhe is." ' 3?" A drunkard was staggering along singing at the top of his voice, " Rock mo to sleep mother, rock mo to Bleep," when suddenly a voico from the other sido of the street startled him by exclaiming, "I don't know of rocking you to Bleep, but I'llstono you to death if you don't dry up." 1 C39 A good story is told of a clergyman in a Massachusetts town who forgot his notes on a Sabbath morning, and as it was too lato to send for them, he said to his au dience, by way of apology, that this morn ing ho should have to depend upon the Lord for what ho might say, but in the af tornoou he would come bettor prepared. C37" How many essential elements are thero in baptism?" Boy: "Thrco." Clergyman: "Three I" : " I'm surprised. Don't you know that thero are only two the word of God and water?" Boy: " Why thero must bo a baby and isn't it an essential clement ?" tW A short timo sinco a man in this county was bitten by a dog, and as soon ns ho recovered from tho fright ho declared that ho would kill the animal. But tho dog isn't mad,' said tho owner. 'Mud!' shouted tho victim, oxaspcratingly; 'what, in thunder has he got to bo mad about?" lie evidontly misconstrued the explanation. EST Two young men coming in from tho country to seo tho sights after tho Chicago fire, wero observed to go into a lunch room and buy ten cents worth of ginger broad and two bottles of pop; total amount spout twonty-flve cents. Then they left and going out on tho prairie sat down to partako when one of thorn looking up said; " I tell you, Jim, if our folks knew what a spree we are ou wouldn't they feol uneasy?" tW An inhabitant of a suburban town after spending a convivial evening, was dis covered among tlio carrots and cabbages of his humblo garden, wrapped in slumber. " Well, Bill," said an admiring friend, as he shook the prostrate youth what are you doing thore?" " Watching for a hen that's stole her nest," was thosentenious answer. " But what are your oyos shut for, Bill?" " Don't want tho old hon to seo mo," gruff ly replied tho deeping philosopher. $W Doau Ramsey tolls us of one who was privileged to uso the familiarity of aa old friend. lie had boon so frequently cen sured for a certain fault, that his master at length lost patience. " John," said he, " you and I must part." "And whur will you bo gaun? "askod John. " I'm sure yo'll no got any placo like hamo;" not supposing it possibio that ho should go. , , tW A western lawyer was accused of being tho owner of a dog which had attack ed a testy old gcntloman, and bittou him in tho calf of the log. Expecting an action for damagos, tho wag drew up tho following articles as the ground for his defence: 1st, by testimony iu favor of tho general good character of my dog, I can prove that noth ing would mako him so forgetful of his dig nity as to bito a calf; 2d, ho is blind and cannot see to bito; 8d, even if ho could see to bite, it would be utterly impossible for him to go out of tho way to do so, on account of his ago, fatness and sovoro lamoness; 4th, granting his eyes aud logs to bo good, he had no teeth; 5th, my dog died six weeks sinco; flth, I nevor had a dog. tW Iu one of his tours, Elder John Le land came up at night to a public house, where he was acquainted, and whoro he proposed to pass the night. The landlord mot hira with a smiling couutenanco, and told him that, having built a now barn, bo was nicely prepared to accommodate the clorgy. "I have," said he, "a very good stable, with all tho improvements, for Epis copal horses, and a comfortablo sort of sta ble for Presbyterian horses, whilo I keep the old barn for Baptist horses; tho feed is according to the style of Btablo." " Well, replied the eldor, " everybody knows that I am a Baptist, but my horse is an Episcopa lian. tST A few days ago a couple of Boston runners entered a restaurant in Portland, and ordered dinner. One called for a plate of baked beans. When he came to settle he asked the price, aud was informed that forty cents would be satisfactory. The runner was astoundod, and exclaimed, "Isn't that a devil of a price for beans?" The man of grub got mad, and said that was the price, and that it must bo paid. The runner re-uttered tho same , pious ex clamation of astonishment several .times, and paid the bill. On going out of the door lie turned and yelled it again, but the bean seller was silent. The next day the restau rant keeper recaived a dispatch and paid tbe telegraph boy forty cents. ' Judgo if you can, of his utter disgust when upon oponing it he read, " Isn't that a devil of a price for beans?"
