as if those who made such an outcry some thee wee against
petroleum, on the ground of the injury indicted by it on the

—I remembered an anecdote of a follow-sufferer, and my
memory helped use to some consolation. It was dories men
of Charles Means visits to the United Stases. He was en-
tertained at dieser by one of the great New Yerk merchants.
Opposite to him at the table there sat a gestlentre, who
continued to observe him with marked attention, and at het
called on the host to present him to Mr. Klan. The intro-
duction was duly made. aid ratified by driokiog wino to-
