THE MEALrH oF OH.

The New York Tribune thus discourses
upon the subject of petroleum. Among the
many sources for eongratulatlon at the tide
of returning prosperity which now rolls across
the country, we must not forget that won
derful legacy of nature to which we fell heirs
about the beginning of the war; we mean
the Petroleum fields. The sensation which
followed their discovery and development
has abated, but the oil still fowsin undimin-
ished streams, pouring into the National lap
presents far richer than the diamonds of Col
conda, or the glittering metals of the Far
West The oil trade has become fixed in
stitution and isalready making new curl ents
and new centres of trade
In December, 752, Major George Wash
ington. of the Virginia militia, was sent by
Governor Dinwiddie to the French comman-
der Of that day, who was establishing line
of military posts between Lake Erie and the
Ohio River In his route he passed up the
Valley of the Allegheny and across the
County of Nenango, then the hahitation of
Indians and wild animals. A hundred years
later. and all that could be seen among those
barren hills was couple Of sleepy Dutch
towns, with very little to sell TO the outer
world and still less to buy from il. Within
the past FIVE years the discovery of an illu-
minating oil beneath the surface of the Garth
has transformed the. face of nature with
magical rapidity. The whole country for
miles il dotted with derrieks, steam engines,
and shanties; novelties shavesprungup, with
their hotels. stores, banks and theaters. In
circuit of thirty miles around Oil City are
over 200, 900 inhabitants.
Meadville, the neck of the oil regions,
through which Is poured the oil outgoing
and the thousand supplies ingoing, has risen
froRl population Of 3,000in lS6Oto $4,000.
Places ike Franklin, TtusYille, Oil City,
Pitbole which scarcely existed, now boast
Of theirdaiIy newspapers, their hotels, banks,
stores, and theatres In the circuit of thir-
ty miles around Franklin theve are not less
than zoe, 900 energetic people.
OH AS A SOURCE OF REVENUE.
The Pithole discoveries have lately given
another impetus 10 the excitement, and Wis
itors to that interesting spot relate marvel
Gus stories of its wonderful yield of oil. =
There are it appears, on the two or three
f;lrns known as Pithole City. some 200 wells
sunk or in process. We have the record of
thirty If these wells which yield from thirty
barrels thuinping1 to I 500 barrels {tlowing)
a tlay The total yield OF forty oil the wells
now reach nearly 10000 gallons per day.
The oil Is worth &l0a barrel at the wells,
but corfr from $3 to IS more to haul to rdil-
road The Government imposes an internal
revenue tax of one dollar barrel on the
crude, aud twenty cents per gallon upon the
refined oh, so that with the least margin of

contribution of 500, 600 a day, or $70,000,-

AT HOME The highest style of being at
home grows out of a special state of the al
fections rather than of the intellect. Who
has not met with individuals, whose faces
would be passport to any society, and
whose manners, the unstudicd and sponta-
neous expressions Of their inner selves, make
them visibly welcome wherever they go, and
attract unbounded confidence towards them
in whatever they undertake2 They are
frank, because they have nothing to conceal;
affable, because their natures overflow with
benevolence, unfurried, because they dread
nothing; always at home, because they carry
within themselves that which can trust TO
itself anywhere and everywhere purity of
soul with fulness Of health Such are our
best guarantees for feeling at home in all
society TO which duty takes us. and in every
occupation upon which it obliges us to enter.
They who live least for themselves are also
the least embarrassed by uncertainties,

There is no time like the old time, when you and

When tbs buds Of April biossomed, and the birds

Thegarden's brightest gicrice by summer suns are
nursed.
But, oh, the sweet sweet violets, the flowers that

There is no place like the old place where you and
were born,
Of the morn
From the milk white breast that warmed az, frvn
the ciinging arms that bore;
Where the dear eyes glistened Ger as that win

There is no friend like the old friead, who has
shared our morning days.
No greeting like his welcome, no homagelike his
praise:
Fame is the scentless sunfower; with saudy crown
Of gold;
But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets
in every fold.
Thcre is no love like the old love that we courted
in our pride;
Though our leaves are falling, falling, and we're
failing side by side,
There are blossoms all around us, with the eolOrs
of our dawn,
And we live in borrowed sunshine when the light
of day is gone.
There are NO times like the old times--they shall

There is no place like the old plaec-keep green

There are no friends like old friends--may
Heaven prolong their lives
There are no loves like our old loves--God bless

SENATOR SHERMAN on THE TARIFF.


SENATOR SHERMAN on THE TARIFF
Senator Sherman speke at Springfield,
Ohio, last week, when he expressed himself
on the subject of tariff and taxation as fol-
lows; He believed it unwise and unfair to
remove the duty from imported paper while
the home manufacturers had to pay tax
equal to ten per cent. ON what they made
The revenue from imported paper amount
ed to three or four millions of gold per am
mum, and the Senate thought the country
could not afford to lose this sum. The
Committee on Finance were unanimously of
this opinion. A tax on paper is generally
unwise 1t is a tax on knowledge, and ex-
cent under extraordinary circumstances
should not be imposed.
Mr.. Sherman believed that the next Com
gress might find it expedient not to remove
the duty from imported paper, but to les
sen the internal tax ON the home made arti-
Gle. The financial condition of the country
was getting to be such that this might be
done. The stamp duty, he thought, would
be the first to be repealed next winter, after
it the tax on iron, then the tax ON paper.
