that they went down instantaneously to

purely "execaliTe,,and without the least
participation the legislative . . authority.
Inaugurated by the Cortes, he !nay be
again deposed by the same, sovereign
power. And herein lies the danger,—
that the new Regent will be more or less
than man, if he abstains from intrigues
for the enlargenient orperpetuation of his
functions, seeking to mould the majority
of the Cortes to his ambitions purpose.
The intrigues which are to be expected
'in that body-against him •will supply to
himla - motive, if not a justification, for
core espondid efforts to maintain and in
crease the Regent's authority. The
Statecraft of each. department of • the
government will hinge upon the unset
tled succession to the throne—in which
direction may be seen the most critical
peril for the internal peace of Spain.
With each stage of advance toward the
complete adjustment of their internal
polity, the Spaniards give new proof of
their sincere, grave and earnest devotion
to the leading idea of national progress.
They present thus far, the first example,
inthe history of Europe, of a great nation
perfecting its substitution of the national
authority, according to republican ideas,
although under monarchical forms,- for
an arbitrary despotism pre-existing for
centuries, without passing- through the
crisis of a - bloody and protracted revolu
tion. If they shall thus persevere to the
end, which may not now be far off, en
trusting the crown to a ruler who will
know how to prove himselt worthy of it,
and of their continued obedience under
the fundamental law which has just been
promulgated, the latter glory of that an
cient people will transcend anything yet
displayed in the annals of any people of
Europe.
PRODUCTION OF PETROLEUM , .
The Titusville /braid,. of yesterday
contained its regular monthly report, of
the production and development in the
Pennsylvania Oil regions, for the month
ending May 31st. It asserts that under a
large falling off in the product of the
wells in the older districts, and but a
moderate degree of success in the devel
opment of new territory, there was a Ma
terial decrease during the period under
review, and the daily average, as shown
by the difference between the stocks at
the beginning and the close of the month
and the shipments meantime, was 10,15§
barrels, or about 900 barrels lesit than tha
daily average during April, and an in
crease of about 375 barrels over the aver
age for May. During May, last year, the
daily awerage was about 9,450 barrels.
The decrease in the old districts was
caused by the gradual failing of the welly
and by but few of the old wells havink
been torpedoed and recuscitated.
The Pleasantville district -shows a fall
ing off about two hundred and fifty bar
rels-per day. There were also marked
decreases at nearly all theother producing
districts.
The largest increase took place along
the Allegheny river south of Franklin,
where four large producing wells were
struck. 4CParker's Landing, in this dis
trict, four wells were struck during the
last week, which yielded an average of
twenty barrels each. On Cherry Tree
cretus l
Am there was a considerable in .
and several good wells were struck durin
the mon th . , ‘ _On the black oil belt on 11 -
per Cherry run the product' was e -
larged. In the Tidionte district, alo e
the Allegheny, river north of Oil City,
and on 'West Hickory creek, the increase
was considerable.
Three hundred and forty-five,new wells
are now being drilled in the regions, an
increase of thirteen from the first of May.
Development has not been attended with
much success, but fifteen wells producing
from fifteen to one hundred and fifty bar
rels per day being struck during the
month, and fifteen moils which fail to
produce in paying quantities. The stock
at the wells and in tankage underwent no
change from the qutintity on the first of
May, the production about equaling
jship
meats. In barrels, at wells and In iron
tankage, there are 1385,450 barrels. am
prising the total stock held in the re one.
I,e
We must confess, 11 the figures fu sh
ed be correct, that the large deer of
nearly thirty*thousaad barrels per onth
is not encouraging. There are the here
who think some - large error has been
made, and that the May yield w as
large if not huger than that of pril.
The figures will be carefully revisl and
the ground again gone over by hose
most interested to develop the accuracy or
inaccuracy of the report„, ,Inkjustice to
the Herald, we must say that hitherto its
resume of the petroleum business has
been as correct as posaible, and ha, ever

Way from this city to Omaha, the eastern

This proposed corPoration is to bold and
administer the property and franchises
now held by the Hildson River, the New
York Central, the Buffalo and Erie, the
Lake Shore and eveland and Toledo,
the Michigan Soo t] ern and the Chicago
and Northwestern i Railroads, including
2,48 t: miles -of completed and equipped

appears to be ;164,985,056; and is rep
resented by a stock capital of $129,594,862,
besides a vast debt secured by mortgages
upon the llnes. The gross income of
these companies for the last year was
$44.820, 8 9 3 .
. . ..
The other scheme, which is but' a sort
of counterpart and rival of the first, is
that which the Pennsylvania Railway
Company is said to be prosecuting. It
contemplates the concentration in the
hands of that corporation of the railways
now known ss the New Jersey Central,
the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago,
and the Chicago and Rock Island, besides
its own. This consolidation, which
seems already to be far advanced
towards completion, will unite 1,534.
miles of completed 'road, now represent
ed on the books of the companfes as of
the value of $122,110,164; estimated by a
stock capital of $67,540,762, besides mort
gage debt; and which earned last year in
all ;86,260,213. It will be observeil that,
if both plans are consummated, the
Pennsylvania route to Omaha will be
more than one hundred miles shorter '
than the New York route; and that the
whole capital of stock and debt represent
ing it' is more than twenty-five per bent:
less than that of the latter. •
If the earnings of last year be taken as
;the standard, and the present stock and
debt of all the roads remain nnwatered,
then, assuming that each of the oonsoll
dated companies will pay sixty per cent.
of the gross earnings in expenses, the
New 'York through line could pay seven
'per cent. on all its debt, and nine per
\cent. on its stock capital; and - the Penn
sylvania through line could pay the same
interest on its debt and sixteen per cent.
'on its stock capital. The stock , capital in
both cases is nominal, consisting in but '
a small part of money actually paid in to
build the roads, and chiefly of "water."
There is not one of the companies inclu
ded whole capital is less than twice the
cost of building its road; and the money
actually required to build and equip a'
first-class railway from this city to-Oma
ha even at the present enormous cost of
labori and materials, • could not exceed

I don't claim to be wide-awake at 1 all

State Mercantile License.
Merchants and others who do business
in the boroughs and townships-of thin
county, and who are required by law to 1
take out a State license, should call at 1.
once at the County Treasurer's office and
attend to the matter. The Treas --1- urv:r is
obliged by law to put all taxes remaining
unpaid on the first of July into the band&
of an &lderman (Or collection. The costa
thus added sometimes equals the license.
This wilt apply also to billiards, bagatelle
table keepers and brokers of every de• '
scription. Real % estate, exchange, bill
merchandise, madhine, oil and stook bro
kers' doing business anywhere in the
county, whether within the city limits or
not, are required to take out State license
from the County Treasurer's office, and
can save costs by attending to it at once.

THE. TRUSS.
The truss is an instrument, or rather an
ance, employed to retain the bowels to their•
proper place, when ttey have been forced out of - • t.•
their natural position, and this forms a disease
called a rupture or hernia. Hernlais reducable or • -;
or not. When net reducable. it becomes strange
toted or incarcerated, a canditUn of alwas e more
or less danger, and requiring. In most cases, a
surgical operation before the intestines can be •
restored to their 'proper position. When not
strangulated primarily, ruptures' are liable to be-.
come so by accident or neglect, hence, the num-
city of trusses to keep the intestines in their prop-
ce place, mid If possible to cure the disease by.
closing the opening thrtingh which the. boweli
protruded. In times past trusses have been ;ie-..:
muted as palliative - ,remedies rather that the
means of effecting a *radical' cure. Dr.
however, of this city, who has devoted a gieit
deal of thought and reflection :to the
subject of her oia, and` besides has had.
over twenty-five years of - practical
penance in the application of trusses, is 'of the
opinion that a large port'or. of cases can be mile

inmost cases, to the Medi luny of the tresses
