The poor, pent-up Czar of Russia no sooner plans a brief escape from his own Nihilist haunted dominions by proposing a meeting with Kaiser Wilbelm ot Gcr§ many and other potentates, than theE Austrian Emperor gets jealous, and/ 'from the talk it might appear that theS Iraap of Europe was to be reconstructed! in consequeuce of a frieudly conference.! —ln 1872 wc built 4,4ft8 iniles ofg railroad, and thought we were a won-1 derfully enterprising and people. Iu 1873 we didn't build halif as many miles of railroad, and didn't! have half as high an opinion of our en-fi terprise and prosperity. In 1881 wc have already built 4018 miles of rail road, and, before the year is ended, will be close upon the figures of 1872. Spec ulation is running riot in new schemes involving greater outlay. llow shall we stand in a year hence ? —The echoes of Guiteau's shot vi brated in many strange and remote places, where even those who think they appreciate most clearly the inten sity of the national excitement would have suspected it least. Away up in northern New York two inmates of a county jail, one of them under sentence of life imprisonment for murder, quar relled in a discussion of the assassina tion, and the murderer killed his com rade. Last Thursday he was sentenced to be hanged in November. —A dispatch from Youngstown, O. to a Pittsburg paper of last Friday said that the Rev. Gordon Mackay left that city on the three o'clock train for Pittsburg that afternoon, and it was supposed had gone to North Washing ton, Pa., to interview Mrs. Meals. The lusband of the latter left next morning also for the East, and it was rumored intended to follow up the blonde preacher and make it interesting for him if be fooled around bis wife any more. —A man named Edwards, formerly of this place, was arrested at Ackron, Ohio, lately for selling liquor to men of intemperate habits, and according to the law of that State, the owner of the building in which he bad bis galoon wai made to pay roundly for Edward's misdoings. The proprietor to get square with Edwards had him prose cuted for liviug with a woman who is not bis wife and bad bim imprisoned, and Edwards has now brought suit for false imprisonment. —School directors and others fre quently inquire where and how a copy of the school law may be obtained. A letter shown us from Dep. State Supt. Lindsey states that 20,000 copies arc published and distributed every third year. Enough copies are sent to each County Superintendent, to furnish each board with about four copies. This distribution is made about Janu ary every third year. Copies can bej had when on hand by addressing] the Department or County Superin-j tandant, if the necessary Gve cents is enclosed. j —The defence of the Standard Oil! Company against paying taxes in; Pennsylvania is that it does not do business in the State. Yet it is the' heaviest oil purchaser, the heaviest oil' producer and the largest oil transpor ter in the country. It has bought up or forced into bankruptcy nearly all op position refineries in the Common wealth. Nine-tenths of all the oil pro- Wntl*K ®ii*»e« : puttee, :P»., 2l» IBBl* duced in tbe United States is produced iin Pennsylvania. How it may be that »the Standard Oil Company can make a business of buying and selling, trans sporting and exporting oil without "do 'ing business" in Pennsylvania we can inot see. J There is a fitness in all things, and fthere must be a sense of it in the pul * pit, or the minister is sure to be dis comfited. Thus a -vriter in the far [West, in the course of stating the de mand for preachers with snap and "go" in them, adds a word of caution by saying that the chaplain from Berk shire County who preached to the sol diers the first Sunday they camped in Yirginia on "Infant Damnation," would not De any more likely to succeed as a pioneer Dreacher in the new West thau was tbe Nevada minister to whom the chairman of the farewell committee Isaid, "Now, you git, pard; we ain't eagin religion out here, but it riles us ito see a feller spilin' it. Git!" Which lis doubtless somewhat exaggerated, lbut there is a sound him in it, never theless. | Travel through Chicago and re f mote Western points and New York |never was done at as low rates as it is fnow, the fare between the two cities I named being only five dollars. But Htbis does not include stops. The trav- Seler must remain on the train by which Ihe leaves New York for Chicago or, Jforfeit his ticket. Under former rate-j fcutting of this kind, people living at along the line bought tickets ai |the end of the road and then only tray leled a certain distance, selling their 3tickets to another traveler for the bal-j iance of the route. By the present sys tem, ticket scalping is broken up. The, same competition is going on from! Washington to Chicago and remote. Western points. It is the most tre-j mendous rivalry in passenger rate-cut ting the trunk lines ever engaged in, and will not stop until one or more, corporations are seriously injured. | A New-York physician who went ( Jto Panama to establish himself in his, (profession there, has come back witlr [anything but a pleasant tale. He, (found plenty, indeed altogether too jmuch practice, but no pay. The poor rpatients were in want of medicine and] money too, which a moneyless doctor, certainly could not provide. As forj the Canal, he says there are about 150. men at work on it. nearlv all negroes, and half of them sick, haggard and staiving, with an alarming death-rate. Tbe Canal Company offers high wages, and free passage, but procures laborers with the greatest difficulty, and keepsj them till they die off simply they havep't the money or strength to: get away. Various other items equally) disagreeable are mentioned, with thej conclusion that the country is a "sickly, j poverty stricken and forsaken place, "j the best on tbe continent to keep away! from. All this is to be taken with a grain of salt as the story of a disaD-j pointed doctor who was perhaps him-j self a trifle touched with tbe down there, but the history of Panama Railroad's building proved, sufficiently that any great work carried through there must be built in goodj part, as they used to say, of human bones and blighted hopes. i —lt is often urged as an against prison reform, that the attempt ( to turn prisons into reformatory insti-j tutions would only result in a vast in-, crease of hypocrisy among the con-' yicts without producing any genuine reforms. This objection gains Bonie ( force from what has just happened in. the Ohio Penitentiary. Certain en-' terprising and skilful prisoners by af-j feeling good behavior disarmed the; suspicions of the wardens, and were enabled to turn their cells into a man-j ufactory of counterfeit money. The' coins were put into circulation by an other prisoner whose apparent reforma-j tiou had proceeded so far that he was, "trusted" by the officers, and allowed to drive a team outside of the prison. 1 But this occurrence really proves noth-j iug but this: the wardens ia charge of i a prison where it is attempted to apply| the reformatory principle ought to be, shrewd and experienced men. Of J course there will be attempts to de-| ceive, and a wily convict will unless he has to do with some one" quite as keen as himself. But it is byi no means demonstrated yet that aj prison in proper hands could not bej made a reformatory as well as a tive institution. The experiment has never been fairly tried with adult crim-; inals, but its success with juvenile of fenders is already acknowledged. —Thousands of ladies to-day cherish grateful remembrances of the help de rived from the use of Lydia B.

Forestg fires driven by high winds swept overS more than 1,500 square miles of this® region. Iu a portion of it the destruc-9 tion is only partial. In tbe greater!! part of it the ruin is complete. More a it ban 200 people were burned to deaths in flame or sufl'oeated in smoke.

Immediately after tbe3 [magnitude of the disaster was knownjß 'the mayor of Detroit by proclamation rj 'called a meeting of citizens to aid the'i sufferers. At this meeting all of theß prominent commercial, manufacturing" and bunking bouses of the city were a !represented. They appointed a reliefs [committee consisting of Hon. Williams [(J.

This committee immediately organized and appointed well-known reliable business men of the burnt dis-j trict as agents for the distribution of .relief Tbe citizens of Detroit linme [diately contributed to this committee large sums of money and tbe work of [raising contributions goes steadily on. jDetroit and Michigan will give liberal ly, but the wants of tbe sufferers are beyond their capacity to relieve. We therefore appeal to the generous throughout the United States to assist us in discharging this duty of humani ty to the destitute sufferers.

The re-1 mains were conveyed to tbe Swan . Point Cemetery and deposited iu thej family plot with a military salute. The* places of busintss were closed during j the passage of the procession, and thus banks, courts, aud city departments] were closed for the day. The schoolss celosed halt tbe day.

It would be a most unfortunate, " t thing if no new oil territory of large' ? capacity should be discovered and : Jnpened up within a twelvemonth from" Think for one moment of thc : of men engaged in this business a means of livelihood, such asdrillers, and employees generally." IjThev have given up everything else to this trade and have served an at tprenticeship to it. These men have" I families dependent on them, a Then there are the factories that . .furnish the supplies for wells, of every ; description, that gives employment tos thousands of men. The capital invest-; ed in the prosecution of oil develop- 1 ment in its different stages has grown* l to enormous dimensions. Imagine then the oil reservoirs of Bradford drained dry like its predeces-, sors of the Oil Creek region, and Icr aud Clarion, and history will peat itself. t Each of these divisious have engag-'J cd the attention of the operator about ■ ten years each. Bradford, which open ed in 1875, is already showing signs ; of exhaustion. g The productiveness of Bradford hasj been accelerated and advanced by thejj use of the torpedo, and while it has proved the richest field ever developed, " it will according to universal testimony" also prove the most rapid in decline We repeat that in view of the world's > demand for 65,000 barrels of crude per day, and in view of the vast number of' men engaged and vast amount of capi-' tal invested, it would be a calamity if . no new field is found to supply the,, wants of the trade iu the immediate future. f We have now 17,000 producing I wells that are now declining, nor can this decline be arrested by any means known by the trade. It is this deep and painful that is driving the operator and specu-;* lator pellmell over the State line in the . Allegany oil field, even if tbe average' well struck is but 10 barrels. But allowing to that locality five to j ten thousand production within a year,' the conceded decline in Bradford is" that amount "per month. To what, then, are we destined ? j We leave the reader to form his ownj conclusion from those premises. Thcj assertion has been made upon 'weakening' of past fields, What nextlt where shall we go?

[• HARitiBBURa, Pa., Sept. 14. refusal of the Board of Public to allow a readjustment of the of over $3,100,000 settled against thejjj Standard Oil Company, has that corporation to prepare a state-g ment in the nature of an from the settlement of the Auditor,' General's Department of showing the business of the company, fc This corporation has heretofore sedu-, lously endeavored to conceal its affairs! from the public. The company that even if it be taxable the amounts* charged against it are out of all pro-5 portion to the dividends. The company claims that the officers of the State had not made ficient efforts to procure an exhibit the company's business on which to:2 base calculations, and that they had no 3 power to estimate an account against it as they had done in their settlement.j-j The said account is defective, incoin-'j plete, insufficient, says the company, l jin that it does not set forth the capital/-- stock, dividends, profits, business, or other bases or particulars on which thejj 'estimated cases are charged, and have,? [by withholding the same, deprived thej company of the full exercises aud er.y 'joyment of its right of app< al. I The company sajs it is not subjects to taxation in the State, as it has iiOLj property and exercises no franchises oru privileges here. One of the points ofg the company is that, as a foreign cor-B Iporation it is not taxable on its capitals stock or franchise in Pennsylvania, by? reason of the fact that it obtains a por-S tiou of its supplies of oil from tliatn State, because it would thereby beg subject t6 oppressive and double taxa-5 ;tiou and might on the same be made subject to taxation in everys 'State in the Union, Its supplies of ma-B iterials used in manufacturing, and barreling oils being drawn from! .the various portions of the Unitedß States. Another point is that tbe Standanlj| jOil Company has frequently and fronijj jtiine to time, during all of the years! from 1872 to, and including, 1880, fora which tax is charged, made of crude petroleum for shipment out OIK Pennsylvania, formerly by its owtijj agent, but since Juno 7, 1870, byW means of orders, sent by telegram org letter, to resident brokers in I'ounsyl-B vania; but if any law of the State re-J quires the said company, its capital,B stock or shareholders to pay any taxg to the said State for an amount of, org by reason of the said purchases of oilß for shipment out of Pennsylvania, tlienl the law is unconstitutional, because itn conflicts with the provisions of thus Federal constitution, relative to ex p. ports and imports. The company® claims that, in no event is it liable fori a greater tax than one half mill upon 3 the proportion of capital stock, if auy,H shown to have been invested or usedH in business in Pennsylvania for each* one per centum of dividend declared. K For the year ended November, 1873,9 the appeal sets forth that the dividendsj| of the Company were $.'547,010 ; 1874,5 $358,605; 1875,1414,230; 187«,5501.-J 285; 1877, $3,150,000; 1880, $1,050,-1 000. The foregoing dividends, the Company says, were all declared and paid in Ohio. If taxable at all, it is claimed that the Company's liability for the years mentioned is $502,269, instead of over $3,100,000. In arriv ing at that amount the States charges, in addition to the tax, $689,701,64 in 'terest, at 12 per ceut„ aud a* penalty of $223,250 for failure to make the neces sary reports to the Auditor General.— Titutrville World.
