CONSCIENCE MAKES EDWARDS OF Us ALL
This has had bit of testimony to prove its
truth during the past week. The cashier of
dry goods establishment in New York is
the witness. This man had been ten years
in the service of the house and won the
confidence and esteem Of all with whom he
came in contact. He has enjoyed good
salary and occupied comfortable residence
in the upper part of the city. Last Friday
morning he called the manager of the firm
aside and informed him that his conscience
troubled him on certain point, and he
could only feel easy by making full con-
fession. A year ago, when petroleum was
the rage he became somewhat infatuated
with the oil fever. A friend offered him q
splendid interest for $780, and while DELHI
Grating upon the matter an opportunity ec-
Cured for him to "borrow'' from the money
drawer. The temptation was too great and
he yielded. The $500 was invested, and he
" struck ile." The investment has returned
$50, 1000, and many persons would consider
the cashier happy maE. He replaced the
borrowed money, and endeayored to enjoy
the proceeds of the speculation. Conscience
pursued him daily and hourly until he could
no longer endure the agony. He made
full confession of the transaction and in
sisted upon paying the $4,000 to his en-
ployers. The proprietors, after mature
deliberation, received the money, which
they set aside for benevolent purposes. In
consideration of the mans good character
and his candor in revealing what could new
er have been discovered, they have conclud-
ed TO retain him in his position.

PETROLEUM AS FUEL.-The New York
Petroleum Light Company has completed
its series of experiments, and have now
obtained practical results, satisfactory to
the company, that crude petroleum can
with safety and economy be burnt as fuel,
on a large scale, under locomotive, sta
tionary, and marine boilers, producing
heat of great intensity, free from smoke,
SCOT, ashes, sc. After a few private
exhibitions to parties interested, it is pro-
posed by the company to make practical
demonstrations, which will show the pub
lie the value of petroleum as fuel, in
every department where coal or wood is
used.
If the exhibitions to the public prove
as satisfactory as those recently made, are
to the company, there will be valuable
addition to the wealth already developed in
the petroleum interest, and steamers from
New York to Shanghai will require less
bulk of petroleum as fuel than has been
occupied with coal for the passage to Liv-
erpOol.

LIFE OF A LocoMoT1vE.-The railway.
correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune saws
the life of locomotive in this country is
but from two to FIVE years while on
English roads they last twenty years.
The american Railway Times says that ''the
more careful and conservative of our rail-
way managers estimate the annual sdepre-
ciationaof locomotives at eight per cent,
and others think that estimate is quite too
large. There are locomotives, to our
knowledge, that have been running on
American railways since 1910, and we
have no doubt that others have been in
service still longer. The I515une's sspe-
cial is using up our locomotive stock and
the regulations of our locomotive builders
with far too liberal hand.''

AUTUMN LEAVES.

From the elm-tree in the meadow,

And the mighty oak and chestnut.

Come the fading leaves of autumn,
Floating STILL
Through the wide extending forest
When the Winds no longer rave

Der the land and DER the wave;
From the green boughs where the summer
Tresses hung,
And the young twigs, where The robin
Perch'd and sung,
Floating down into the grave
And whene'er see them floating
Without sound,
From the long and pendent branches,
All around; Fl

Danger. Of taking Wime.--A
Word to Boys.

The late Professor Goodrich of Yale Col
lege says: 81 had q widows son committed
to my care. He was heir to great estate.
He went through the different stages, and
finally left with good moral character and
bright prospects. But during the course of
his education, he had heard the sentiment
advanced which then supposed correct, that
the use Of a0ines was not only admissible, but
a real auxiliary to the temperance cause.
'After he left college for few years he
continued to be respectful to me. At length
he became reserved. One night he rushed
unceremoniously into my room, and his APP
pearance told the dreadful secret He said
he came to talk with me. He had been told
during his senior year that it was safe to
drink wine, and by that idea he had been
ruined asked him if his mother knew of
this. He said no, he had carefully conceal
ed it from her. | asked him if he was such
slave that he could not abandon the habit.

SIN one month this young man was in his
grave. 1t went to my heart. Vine is the
cause of ruin to great proportion of the
young men of cur country. Another con-
sideration is, that the habit of conviviality
and hospitality is now directed to the use Of
wine.

up my rum, says the dram drinker. Once |

Drab shorts, and CATERS buff,
And took without single sneeze,
double pinch of snuff.
But he was such a tiny boy,
And dressed in baby clothes,
And I thought l smacked his face because
He wouldn't blow his nose.
And went walk ing up the street,
And he ran by my side;
And because walked too quick for him,
The little fellow cried.
And after tea I washed his face;
And when his prayers were said,
blew the candle out and left

GREAT VICTORY OVER THE ARAPAHoE
INDIANs.-Powder river dispatches, just re-
ceived at Fort Laramie, convey the welcome
intelligence that General Conner has opened
the ball with the most extensive and deci-
sive Indian battle that has been fought since
Gen. Harney's victory in Ash Hollow in 81.
At daybreak on the 18th of August, 400 men,
from the I'd California, 18th Ohio and 9TH
Iowa cavalry, and Pawnee scouts, command
ed by Gen. Conner in person, attacked the
village of the Ararahoe chief, medicine
Man," on Tongue river, and after stubborn
fight, gained complete victory, killing
very large number of Indians, capturing
600 ponies, destroying the village, together
with all their winter store of provisions, and
driving the scattered remnants of the most
powerful band of the hostile Indians into the
mountains, where in their present condition
at this season of the year, they must starye
or surrender. 1t is in fact the complete ami
hilation of the tribe if every man had been
killed on the spot the blow would not have
been more decisive. Fifty dead bodies were
found on the field, and from the well-known
trait of the Indians to conceal and carry
away their dead, it is cutie safe to set the
number killed at double or thribble that
given.

FooLHARDY AND STARTLING.-LastS atur-
day afternoon, Harry Leslie, the funambul-
list, performed a number Of blood-curdling
exploits in connection with balloon ascen-
sion of Professor Lowe, from Central Park,
New York. When the balloon was over
thousand feet high, two ropes were dropped
out and Leslie threw himself from the car,
catching one of the ropes in his fall His
first feat was hanging by one hand, when he
changed dis position, and hung by his feet
for some time. Scrambling up the rope, he
next placed the loop under the back of his
neck, and there, swaying backward and for
ward, he remained for some time. His next
feat was suspending himself by the chin,
and at this time he could not have been less
than half mile high. In this position, he
dangled in the air, till finally, when in the
neighborhood of High Bridge, he struck an
attitude, placing his head in one loop, and
his feet in the other, and in this horizontal
position, allowed himself to be toyed with by
the winds. At this point, Lowe insisted on
his returning to the car, and he did 81.
Those who have seen the feets OF GODDARD,
the famous French gymnast,sa that Lesie's
performances were more foolhardy and start

THE PACIFIC r. R.-The New York Herald
of September 18th says: ",Fhe main object
of the trip of Mr. Colfax and his companions
was to ascertain if the resources and status
of the country demanded the speedy con-
struction of the Pacific railroad. Governor
Bross, with whom our reporter conversed, is
decided in the conviction that an early com
pletion of the work is loudly demanded;
and his opinion is shared by the entire par
ty. The development of wealth tot the coun-
try attending this event, it is asserted, will
be of a most astonishing character. The
Pacific end Of the road is being pushed with
marked energy and success over the east
side of the Sierra Nevada. The ridge, which
is 1000 feet high, will soon be worked
through The rest Of the road, it is assert
ed, is as easy Of construction az a road on
the New York Central line"
