Safe Investments to Avoid Taxation.
•When tie financial policy of the Federal
Administration was fairly started, it was
assailed by a tempest of vituperation from
our foreign enemies and the friends of
the traitors who were permitted to' reside
in the loyal States. This policy was neces
sitated by the fearful and sudden exigen
cies of the war, and was an experiment
which could only succeed with the aid of a
strong and hearty public opinion. The
gold not hoarded, or exported, rose to an
extravagant premium, and the bonds of
the Government were thrown into the
market and sold for what they might
command. A paper currency to supply the
needs of the people and business men was
issued. It was at this time that ex-Presi
dent Buchahah made himself busy in his
efforts to impair the public credit among
his familiars and friends. Visions of bank
ruptcy, general and individual, constantly ]
flitted before his eyes,- and words of dismal i
prophecy were constantly dropping, like
sb many poisons, from his tongue. He ad
vised everybody to avoid Government
bonds, and to place no confidence in green-;
backs, or “ shinplasters,” as he calls them
still. If his followers must invest the
money they had made out of his most
abandoned Administration, let them buy
real estate ; and, to show, he was sincere
• in this advice, he bought two fine farms in
Chester county, and a few days ago secured
a third. And we learn that his example
has been copied by most of the men who
continue to hover in the gloomy twilight
of his declining years. There was a double
object in this concerted movement: To
show hatred and distrust of the. Govern
ment and its ability to raise rnojaey, and Jo.
provide a safe and convertible currency;
and hext, to avoid; being taxed to sup
port the Executive in prosecuting the
war—farms being that interest which m
toriously contributes little to the internal
revenue. The consistency of this proceed
ing is clear ; for as Mr. Buchasan and his
parasites discouraged enlistments, it was a
logical sequence that they should also re
fuse to aid the Government in its endeavors
to pay the public creditors, and t’o feed,
equip, and compensate the troops. But
not so with the people and the fighting
men of the Republic. They bore the
burdens imposed to promote the good
cause, and freely and gladly _ yielded
np their substance and their lives
to it, and generously and gracefully
loaned their little surplus earnings to
the public treasury. The publication of
the income tax proves that many of these
Buchanan patriots are suspiciously poor,
though rich in valuable landed estates.
They may console themselves, however,
by a contrast between their prophecies of
national ruin and the complete triumph of
the national authority; and as they see the
people rushing to invest their property in
the securities of the Republic, and rejoicing
at the rapid appreciation of the paper money
of the Government and the National Banks,
and see foreigners pouring their gold into the
treasury of the "0111164 States, they may,
perhaps, feel a twinge of conscience at the
fact that to escape taxes, and to show
their hate of their country, they
have hidden their wealth in the broad
acres which have only been protected from
the Mends of Jambs Buchakah by the
"brave men who fight and die for the old
flag. "Would it not be well to ascertain
how many of the incomes of these' patri
otic nabobs have been falsely returned ?
What do you say to this, Mr. Commissioner
of the "B. S. Internal Revenue, Joseph 3.
XiEWis, of Chester county ?
Tlie Tate Due de Moray.
Tier® have been f&w creations of nobili
ty under the Second Empire in France, and
of these, two have already fallen in—the
Dukedom of Malakoff, held by Marshal
Pbxjsbxkb, and that conferred upon M. db
Mount, President of the Corps Legislatif—
equivalent to the Speakership of the House
of Representatives here, and of the House of
Commons in England. The Duke de
Mount has not died of old age, for he
October, and is over two years younger
than Napoleon, who will be fifty-seven
years old next month. We mention them
together because the popular opinion of
France long has been that the Emperor
and the Duke had a common parentage,
on the maternal side, and that the Duke
was son of Queen Hobtehse, not by her
husband, Louis Napoleon, once King of
Holland. The Countess De Souza, beau
ty and blue-stocking, adopted him, during
the reign of the first Napoleon, personal
ly educated him until he was fit to. enter
the public school at Huron, where Mar
shal Net’s son was his companion and
competitor, and took almost a mother’s
pride in Ms scholastic successes, wMch were
crowned by his obtaining the first prize in the
Bonapartean Lyceum. His studies were di
rected with a view to the military service,
and, in his twenty-first year, early in Louis
Philippe’s reign, he became second lieu
tenant in a regiment of Lancers. He
served in Algeria, under the eye of the
Dnke of Orleans, with considerable gal
lantry, was wounded more than once,.
named in the despatches for his bravery,
and decorated with, the Legion of Honor,
for having saved the life of Gen. Trezel.
- After five years’ service he quitted the
army, and, having succeeded to a large
fortune bequeathed to hint by his adopting
mother, devoted himself to industrial pur
suits, particularly the production of sugar
from beet-root, on wMeh he wrote a pam
phlet, which displayed so much ability that
he waft' invited to participate in various
speculations wherein talent and capital
were likely to succeed. From 1842 to the
Revolution of 1848, M. he Mount was a
member of the Chamber of Deputies, chiefly
devoting himself there to financial and
business subjects, and usually giving Ms
support to M. Guizot’s conservative policy.
He was in Ms thirty-seventh year when
the Orleans dynasty was overthrown,
and, possessing the lull (and fraternal ?)
confidence of Louis Napoleon, aided him
very effectively in obtaining the Presi
dency of the Republic. Elected member of
the Legislative Assembly of France, in 1849,
for the Department of the Puy-de-Dome,
he supported the policy and aided the pro
jects of Napoleon, and was one of the
few to whom that astute and ambitious
mler entrusted the secret of Ms contempla
• te(t coup d'etat of December, 1851, which
■virtually re-established the Empire. On
the morning of that bold blow De Mount
received the portfolio of the Ministry of the
- Interior, and was the only one among the
mew Ministers who had the courage to sign
the first proclamations, and to assume the
TeßpOßßibility of dispersing the National
Assembly. He retired from office towards
—“the end of January, 1852, with three
others, who disapproved of the edict by
which the Orleans property was confisca
ted to the State,hnt was the Goveramentcan--
. didate for a seat in the Legislative Assembly,
and became its President, in 1854, as suc
cessor to M. Billaut. In 1856 and 1857,
he was French Ambassador to Russia, and,
at the Coronation of the Caar, represented
the Napoleon dynasty with great grandeur
and eclat. He succeeded in re-establishing
the friendly relations between France and
«*. Russia which the Crimean War had inter
rupted, and made acommeTCial treaty which
is said to have been advantageous to both,
-countries. He married a Russian Princess,.
young, wealthy, and extremely beautiful,
who has ever since held a station in the
Parisian world’ of fashion, inferior only to
that of the Empress herself. De Mount,
soon after his return, resumed office
as President of the Corps Legislatif,
which he held at the time of his death.
In this capacity, though he ever showed
himself a decided partisan of the Em
peror, he "exhibited mneh ability, and his
addresses were eloquent and
impressive. No other man. was so en
jjiely relied upqji by Napoleon, who
raised him to the Ducal rank, not long
Largely engaged in commercial and ; ;
other enterprises—having shares in canals,
mines, railroads, and other remunerative
speculations by Which property is some
times greatly increased —the Due de
Jlokny, at his death, was probably one
of the richest peers in France, and this
without including the immense wealth of
his wife, nee Princess Tbubetskoi. We
believe that he . has not left any child
to inherit his property or succeed to
his title.
The statement that the rebels are “ rob
bing the cradle and the grave” is rather
imperfect. We see it announced that two
negroes, convicted of burglary, were par
doned by the Secession Governor of Vir
ginia upon condition that they would vo
lunteer in the rebel army. We would sug
, gest that in their straits the rebels are rob
bing the cradle, the grave, and the gal
lows.
At last we have the fuU report of the
returns of the Great Sanitary Fair. In
total figures our fair realized $1,035,398.96.
This is not as'much as was gained by the
Sanitary Fair in New York; but in that
city there were large personal contribu
tions —two gentlemen, we understand,
giving $lOO,OOO each. No such sums were
contributed here ; and therefore, for enter
prise, industry, and skill, and hard, earnest
work, the fair in our city surpasses in re
sults any ever held in this country. This,
we think, we can claim in behalf of Phila
delphia.
It seems that a fearfUL attempt has been
made to deprive the members of the Legis
lature of their just earnings, and the Legis
lature, very property, appoints a committee
to detect and expose the fraud. We hope
those gentlemen who sought to absorb
these twenty-five thousand dollars will be
punished. ... ■■ -
~ 'THE jbECXIIUK OB' GOLD.
fEBITOWAI, COBRBBPOKDBNOK OF THI WASHIHO*
- TOH OHaOKICtB.I v-
Philadelphia, March, 22, 1865.
Some strange developments Save been
made since the beginning of the late rapid
decline in gold. The great banker, Roth
schild, used a memorable expression during
a financial panic, when he said: “Itis in
vain to despise facts and prejudices. For
my part, I never war with public opinion
in such a crisis.” Men should remember
this practical observation when they search
for the cause of commercial revolutions in
other than the right quarter.
When gold advanced to the fearfully high
rates it commanded in 1863-’64, and up to
within the last few months, the people,
feeling this advance in the damaging in
crease in the prices of all the necessaries of
life, submitted to what was to them inevi
table, because at that time we were fre
quently discouraged by military reverses
and by threats of foreign intervention, and
they bore this with a hopefulness that con
stitutes one of the proudest pages in the
history of the war. The public opinion
which sustained the Government and sub
mitted to these losses, now, in the face of the
constant victories and conquests of our
armies, demands that there should be a re
duction not only in gold, but also in mer
chandise, in produce, and in everything
necessary to the comfort and happiness of
the masses; and this is the public opinion
which cannot,be disregarded either by
financiers or by statesmen.
If there is one thing clearer than another,
it is that everybody expected that military,
successes would be followed by a fall
in the fictitious and exaggerated, gold
values, and in the consequent appreciation
of currency, or greenbacks. And if men
had not been tempted by artificial prospe
rity and seduced by a desire for sudden
gains, and had kept their eye fixed upon
the movements of the armies on both sides
of this controversy, many would not now
be ruined. For when to the victories of the
Union armies, including the. captures of
the forts and cities and garrisons and rail
roads of the so-called Confederacy, and
the dazzling march of Sherman’s army, are
added the despondency of the rebels them
selves and the contempt now almost
openly manifested for their cause in
England and France, and_m»« n ~*-” , * i sgrr
; larly in GermanyT would it not be un-
I and the
xircmalmg medium of the G overnment of the
United States approach a proper standard ?
Among the developments which seem to.
have baffled the calculations of experienced
financiers, we may class the sudden decline
of five-twenty securities. We leatn, on
good authority, that a heavy New York
banker, having in his possession a v.ery,
large amount of five-twenties, was com
pelled to suspend payment, and the whole
of his securities were thrown bodily upon
the market, thus creating a panic among
other holders. If this accident could have ]
been anticipated, thousands would have
gladly come forward and bought these same
five-twenties at a premium; and it is stated
that when intelligence of the fact got wind,
a number of parties in Philadelphia and
elsewhere came promptly forward and
bought or offered to buy all that were
offered, and the same order was made
when a similar attempt was tried in regard
to the seven-thirties. As a proof of the
confidence of these parties, the public need
only be referred to the advanced quota
tions'of yesterday in national securities..
: No doubt these facts have already been
transmitted to Europe, to prevent any in
jurious operation upon the national securi
ties that may be held by foreigners.* It is
not apprehended that we shall be called
upon to send much specie abroad. An
article from the London Times, of the 6th
instant, while complaining that the last
steamer from .New York only brought about
$25,C00 in gold, predicts that it is “ not
impossible that the next steamer to New
York may take-out other amounts of
gold,” and at the same time alludes to
the “craving fox these United States
securities in Germany.” We must not
forget, in this horoscope, that the Govern
ment is disposing of an immense amount
of cotton, that every day is adding vastly
to the supply on hand, and that. much
of this important staple goes to Europe,
thus helping to adjust exchange between
the two hemispheres, and assisting our mi
litary and governmental operations. Mil
lions of the seven-thirties have been sub
scribed in California, which ia a ne'w
field, and will be paid -for in gold, thus
increasing the bullion in the vaults of
the Assistant Treasurers in New Ifork
and elsewhere. What measure ''of relief
the Government may afford to the great
houses who are in danger of a collapse, it
is for the Secretary of the Treasury to de
cide. Many of the heads of these establish
ments contend that the Government should
protect them against the heavy de
cline in gold and merchandise, and al
lege that their overthrow will carry
thousands into poverty. But as an
offset to this complaint, it is maintain
ed that as these houses have prospered
largely from enterprises of all kinds, they
ought how to be in a condition to buffet the
storm, and to endure the burdens hereto
fore almost exclusively borne by the labor
ing and poorer classes. An interregnum
between the present pecuniary panic and
the commencement of amicable relations
between the two sections cannot be avoid
ed, and this will enable these men to re
cover themselves from the approaching
storm. Greatcrises are always self-adjust
ing and Ml of compensation. The rich of
to-day are the poor of to-morrow, and ®i<sa
versa. But the loss of money, and even
the loss of credit fora time, .does hot de
stroy men’s energies; and the fact that
wages will go down in equal proportion
with the '-profits of speculation, will be
followed by the decline" in sllthenecessa
xies of life, so that things will he equal in
the end. -There is no outlook upon
the close future more' encouraging
than the. great theatre - for genius,
enterprise, and capital, soon, to be
thrown open by the return of the seceded
States to the Union. Emigration will flow
in from Europe and the fcee States, and
cotton that has been hoarded and buried
wUI reappear, while the great plantations
i .. ; -
heretofore annually .productive of iaradcu
lable harvests ■will Once again, be subjected
to cultivation, and, what is better, to a
more vigorous, scientific, and busy process
than has ever yet been applied to them.
' It is to be deeply deplored that the Se
nate did not concur in the passage of the
bankrupt bill, nearly unanimously agreed
to in the House of Representatives, in the
second session of the last Congress. Such
a measure would have afforded relief to
thousands of excellent men who may suffer:
from a financial crisis. One of the earliest
duties of the new Congress should he to
enact afstatute that.will be in accordance
with the enlightened experience of our
nation, and with those great lessons of po
litical economy and statesmanlike pre
science which we have learned from the
example of foreign countries, J. W. F.
' The men,, who have a great deal of
money to spend should give some atten
tion to the great want of houses now
existing in Philadelphia. We believe that
five thousand new houses would at once
be rented if they could only be built. The
same trouble exists In New York and
■Washington, and to a lesser extent in other
of otir cities. The Tribune has sbme ad
vice to give on this subject, which we
cheerfully adopt:
11 "We kavs been going on In this hand-to-mouth
way for a good many years, until accumulated
evils and inconveniences have grown Intolerable,
«House Wanted’ has become the moumfulest head
ing next to 1 Child Lost’ wMoh can be affixed to

possible way of avoiding all this botheration,

remedy for this crying evil, wo must accept It
with mortification at the Ilmltede?tent of human re
sources. Some philosophers hold great olties to be
great nnlsanoes, and so they are, If their crowded
condition necessitates discomfort and a disregard for
the plainest laws of health and soolal economy.
But we have no belief in such philosophy. If God,
made the oountry and man made the town, God
nona the lew made man gregarious, and so neoessl
tated ihe building of cities. He also gave ns com
men sesse to boild them judiciously* Bnd_lt r .ls our

The Reported Trouble at Matsmoros.
Most of the despatches that have recently come
from Matamoros have had references to what was
called a difficulty- between our commercial agent
there and the Imperial authorities. Coupled with this
assertion was another that the Imperial general In
command of the garrison was hob-nobbing with the
rebel general at Brownsville In such a significant
way as to tint at a more than friendly feeling be
tween Maximilian and Jeff Davis. Later develop
ments show that neither of these assertions have
much truth or oonslstenoy. It la truo that the
people of Matamoros do sympathise with the rebels,
hut the action of the Imperial author! ties, through
the influenoeot our consul there, has prevented
them from extending much material help to their
rebellious neighbors. The story of divisions be
tween the consul and the Government, and 111
feeling on the part of the latter towards
onr Government, is baseless. It seems that
a Mr. E. D.'-Etchlson was appointed consul
In the summer of 1864 lnthe room of Leonard Pleroe,
Jr., resigned. He began his consular duties about
the Ist of December, having been accredited to the
Republic. The Imperial Government of course did
not recognise him. During the .time that Ms cre
dentials were under consideration In Mexico (about
two months) he discharged the duties of his office,
making hlmßolf very unpopular by insisting on a
payment to him of *1 on each bale of cotton shipped
: at Matamoros for the United States, and In other
ways.
i 'When his credentials were to be returned to him
(abontthe Ist ot February), and the Imperial Go
vernment was to signify that it did not recognise
him as a representative of the United States, It be
came a matter of peculiar delicacy. The United
| States flag was flying over Ms house. The Govern*
ment wished to make the matter entirely personal,
I and not an Insult to tho United States, as far as
j could be avoided. When the flag was lowered at
night his credentials were given him, and the
Imperial will stated. He retired after this, and
was succeeded by Amzi ■ Wood, the present in
cumbent. All his gains by tho tax on ootton he
oarrled with him, together with all his accounts,
which he tore out of the book lu which they were
kept, leaving only the entries made by'Mr, Pierce,
Ms predecessor. This oansed some difficulty, whloh
1 was soon dissipated. There Is now the very best
1 feeling between our representatives and the Mexl-
I can powers that be. No hostile aot, even In inter
course wlth,the rebel General Slaughter at Bro tens-
J vlUe, has been committed as yet, and present ap-
Lp»»roneerwaix»nt a hope of continued frlimaii«u-»--

The Italian Opera.—Notwithstanding the rl-'
gors of the Lenten period a largo and brilliant au
dience assembled at the Academy of Music last
evening to listen once more to the matic of Verdi,
Enng to the tender Italian which has so long
been a stranger to our oity. The temptation
wbs great, for the opera was Verdi’s latest,
“La Forza del Destine,”-and the rumors of Its
success In the great “metropolis” bad pene
trated inland, until they, had reached even unto

vouchsafed us, and though fins difficult to thorough
ly estimate the merits of a ’musical work on a first
hearing, wo, accept what has been granted us and
are thankful.
“LaForzadel Destino” Is what may be termed
an eccentric opera of the real Verdi sohoel.
The plot is tragic In the extremes Lovers
In the profonndest depths of misfortune—
a cruel father, who Is hilled In the first aot—a wan
dering and disconsolate damsel, who, disguised as
a man, becomes a hermit—two duels—a murder and
a suicide—there make up the full table of horrors.
On the brighter side of the pioture we have a light
hearted damsel who Is oalled a gipsy, but who
appeaiß in the religious scenes to be a good Ca
tholic, and a comloafly m-natnred friar. These,
together with two mountebanks and a couple of
dancing relief to the general tragic oha
raoter of the notion.
Signora Oarozzi-Zuoohi, who enacted the part of
Donna Leonora, Is an artist of. excellent dramatlo
power, and possessing a well, trained and sympa
thetic soprano Voice, her only defect being, attlmes,
a slight uncertainty In pitch. She received great
applause from the audience, and would evidently
become a favorite on further acquaintance.
M’llojMorensi, who performed the character of
Preetoma, the gipsy, and afterwards a vivanditre,
is already known to our amateurs, ana both acted and
sang most charmingly,.sustaining,'and even out
running, her established reputation. Her clear and
musical voice gave complete satisfaction to the
most refined ear, and she achieved a real success,
especially to the “rataplan," where she skilfully
accompanied herself and the.ohorns on the drum. ■
With Signor JVlasslmillanl we cannot express our.
reives as thoroughly satisfied. After Hfmmer and
Hahelman, his voioe seemed clouded and unsympa
thetic, and though apparently correct, he lacked
fire.
Signor Bellini as Don Carlos and Sustol as the

All lands npon whloh no taxes are paid np to that

at a heavy expense. Many of our readers, we pro.
some, are owners of such lands. They should not
delay preserving their titles by paying up prompt-,

seanfuce to the eeeord. It was most! id portent that ihe

to the perpetuation of onr nationality by Me blood and

man. 'superiors never judgo.the life orlibertyof in

the jugtioe of the decision. There are other reasons to
give tR colored man tlm right to vote besides ahatof
Justice. He had the right, beoanae itrwpuld be to the
best interest of the white people to allow it. If he did
not, whbe people would have to stand- guard, with
muskets in their hands, to keep down, a discontented
race. When once tbs sweets of liberty are tasted they
never are forgotten. It was necessary for the coiiesioa of
onrStatee.for the maintenance Of onr social system.
The negro was a firm friend, and we must .more

many reasonß why we might need him, the most evi

foreign vote which would te represented at on* polls.
Without the help of the negf o,.his labor, Ms juflusnea,

when it is pasting through the stages of reconstruction.
I never felt, sale the lector**, any doubt or the power
of thiß Government to pat down the rebellion by force,
but I fear that in the reconstruction that will be f ffl£de
we will concede too much to the slaveholder. It bad
beer, as all know, the constant practice of the
hbrth to concede to them more than they had
& light to. Everything they demanded was given

Ifficts ef ffie Gold Fanis on Oil Stocks.
it is not surprising that the general depression of
prices consequent upon the rapid decline In gold,
during the past week, should have borne down
yith it the prices of . stoeks, There are some oil
interests, however, that have net been perceptibly
affected in-tbls. way, and numerous others In whloh
the decline can,only be temporary, as, judging from
their dividends, they have never yet reacned any
thing approximating their real value. To the sub.
Borlbers to,the stock of the "Cameron Petroleum
Cbmpany," oi wildh Mr. Vance Stewart Is presi
dent, ft will be gratifying to learn, that subscrip
tion# have, If anything, .been accelerated during.
the present week,' the whole subscribable amount of
shares being now nearly taken. A few .days will
dlose.the books, when ft is highly probable that the
<■ Cameron” win take'ltß place among the most
. popular and valuable stocks offered at the Board.
We do not see how lt.can be otherwise. Over forty
new leases have already been given by the Com
pany on the ” Hoover Form” alone, at a royalty
oi one half the oil. These, It Is confidently be
lieved,-will prodnee for the Company’s Interest
several hundred barrels of 08 per day Inside of
three months from .this date, and, to addition to
this, an order has been given by the Board to
have the entire ‘ Stewart Farm ’’—the fee of whloh
is-owned by the Cameron Company—surveyed and
divided Into one hundred lots, each to be leased
'and expeditiously worked, also, at a .royalty: of .
one" half the olt When- this is accomplished, as
It will be before midsummer, the value of Cameron
stock-will hardly be 'equalled by any other now
before the public- And, as the people begin to
appreciate this’fact, we are not surprised to find
their orders flowing in to the Treasurer’s office
(Mr. E. G. James’), No. 101 Walnut street, at a rate
which must dose the subscriptions in a vary few
days; On the forty leases given on the “Hoover
Farm,” the work of sinking wells has In nearly
every instance been commenced, so that the stimu
lus bf successive “ big strikes” may be safely looked
for within the next sixty days. We may also state
that a well yielding about two hundred barrels per
day has been strnok within a few yards of.the line of
the Stewart Farm, on a property of five acres, which
jdr. Stewart, the president of the Cameron Com
pany, sold within six months for .the sum of five
thousand dollars, and for whloh the sung sum Of two
hundred thousand dollars has been bid within the last
few days. We mention this fast tor the information
of holders of the Cameron stock, and as affording
seme indication or the advance which their stock is
sure to experience assoon as the books of the Com
pany axe closed. A well of great promise has also
been struck recently on the “Cochran, ’’ which di
‘rectly adjoins the “ Hoover” Farm. :
The names of the gentlemen connected with, this
great oil enterprise, numbering as they do, in the
subscription: lists, a large number of the most pro
minent public men in this and other States, are a
"Sufficient guarantee that the “ Cameron" will take
Its plaoe among the organizations that will live, and
pay splendidly, years after others of a less sub

“Goldbh Bulb dm and Mining Company.”—
Among the many notices of oil companies In our co

than that of the “Golden Buie Oil and Mining
Company,.’’ They own, In foe simple, one hundred
and seventy-five acres of land on Horse Shoe Bun,
Preston county,. West Virginia, one, of the very bast
oil districts In that State. Ten cents per share, full
paid, is the price of stock, which, on account of the
low price and the flattering prospects of-the Com.
pony, Is selling very rapidly. She subscription
boohs are now open at the office of the Company,

The Philadelphia National Peteolbum
Company possesses advantages that warrant Its
unreserved and earnest recommendation to the pub
lic. There can he no donbt entertained of Its com
plete success, as to It belong all the require
ments of a. safe and energetic organization.
The basis of its claim to pubile favor is the equita
ble principle upon which Its stock is lasned aud the,
great value of-the lands belonging to it, not by
lease but in fee simple. Low-priced stock com
panies very often offer opportunities of realizing;
an enormous profit from a very small invest,
ment. The property of the Philadelphia Na
tional is situated but a short distance from the
great .Sugar Creek Company, the developments
of whloh clearly show the great wealth of, oil land
In that vicinity. It shonld be remembered that
stock in the Sugar Creek Company was originally
sold at a very small figure and rapidly advanced to
$21.60, and that shares In the Philadelphia Mutual
Company, issued at 25 cents, now secure a profit of
76 per cent, to Its holders.. The prospects of the
Philadelphia National Compan/- are unsurpassed
by an; other petroleum company that has yet
claimed public attention.|Xt owns 192 acres of land,
, which is worth much more than the capital now
being subscribed, and has effected leases which will
yield large profits. Persons wishing to become
.stockholders in a reliable and promising company
should call at the banking house of Harper, Burney,
& Co., No. 66 South Third street, where stock In the
: Philadelphia National oanba had at St cents per
