How HE Cor HIS WIFE.-John W
was or is genius. He made quite pile
in the Mexican war, and invested it in q
canal boat running on the Ohio Canal
John was bachelor, but in course of time
was smitten by the little god. An old far
mer who lived on the "heel" path, near
Masillon, had two rosy checked daug ghters,
but all attempts to gain an introduction by
their admirer, were foiled by the old man.
But John was not discouraged. A large
chunk of beef bought off the mastiff, and
John proceeded to deliberately appropriate
the various articles hanging on the clothes
line. Chimizettes and stockings, shirts,
breeches and things, were crowded in inglo
rious confusion into capacious carpet bags
carried by John on this occasion. They
were brought aboard the boat and placed
in the bow cabin to pave the way for an in.
PRODUCTION on the return trip.
A week after, the boat passed the farm
house on its way south, and John jumped
ashore and went to the house. He repre-.
scnted that one of his drivers had stolen
the clothing; that he had discharged him,
and desired to return the articles. The
young ladies were delighted, as the sack
contained all their Sunday fxings." The
old man said:
II always thought that all boatmen
would steal, and l am delighted to find
one honest one. You must call again,
Captain" r@
The captain did call again, and soon after
married the youngest" as. -. ...
On the wedding night he told his wife the
ruse he had used to gain an introduction,
and the old man gave orders that no more
clothing be left tout o nights"

An oleaginous correspondent Of the Syra.
cuse Courier. gives an account Of his adven.
lures at Titusville, Pa, as follows:
"There are seven first class hotels in this
place of six thousand inhabitants, besides
numerous small institutions where poor
accommodations are Afforded at good prices.
Every ono Of these seven is filed to its
utmost capacity day after day, and night
after night, many man thinking his lot
fortunate one if happily he secures soft
chair to sit in oil night. In Oil City, if l
sm correctly Informed, they have adopted
plan, which has been very successfully
copied in other places. A man is 1rst put
to bed and allowed to stay in statu quo till
stirred natures sweet restorer" has master
ed him, and then he is taken from his bed
and stood up in the corner to make room
for another victim. The sharpest and best
business talent of the country is centered
here, and if there were the same material
surroundings, the stranger would almost
fancy himself on Wall or William street.
This is the headquarters of the army Of oil
operators. If ! were to state tho amount
Of money changing hands here daily. l
should hardly expect my story to be
credited. will give one fact IS an illustra-
ton Of the rise Of property near here
Three years ago thirty eight acres Of land
sold at Petroleum Centre for $2,700. For
this same property . New York company
now ask the modest sum Of thirty five
million dollars, and they have already taken
over ten millions worth Of oil from It.

Dr. MoRRELI, who furnished Handel with
the words for bis oratorios, related that one
6ne summer morning he CDR. NJ was
reused out of his bed at Eve o'clock by
Handel, who came in his carriage, short
distance from London. The Doctor went
to the window and spoke to Handel, who
would not leave his carriage. Handel was
at the time composing an oratorio. When
the doctor asked what he wanted, he said !:
"What do teyil means de word billion :"
which word was in the oratorio the doctor
had written for him. The doctor, after
laughing at 40 strange reason for disturb.
ing him, told him that billow meant . wave
Of the sea. "Oh, de waver' said Handel,
and bade the coachman return, without
addressing anothsr word to the doctor.
