THE FLAG OUTRAGE &c.

The next day, Tuesday, about ten o'clock, a
band of about twenty as villainious looking crea

the flag they nearly finished the Transcript new

American Royalty.

EE We Americans have long been in
the habit of spluttarihg about the Royalty
of the Old World the immense sums of
money drained from the labor of the peo-
pie to support and sustain it. The three
millions Of dollars which the Royalty OF
Englanl costs that people appears to be
not such great matter after oil, for have
we not ourselves. or,ratber Frank Thomas
and his party for us, established a Royalty
-audch Royalty in this Republican land
at cost of Trelre millions Of Dollars
annaoly. How long the labor of the
land will consent that this amount shall be
annually drawn from them is for the 'peo-
pie to determine at the ballot box. The
President put his veto on it. but the Rad

was all-powerful and inflicted it upou III

NEVER GET ANGRY.--It does no good.
Some sins have a seeming compensation
of apology, present qualification Of some
sort; but anger has none. A man feels
no better for it. 1t is really a torment;
and, when the storm of passion has cleared
away, it leaves one to see that he has
been fool in the eyes of others too. Who
thinks we'll of an ill.natured, churlish
man, who has to be approached in the
most guarded and cautious way? Who
wishes him for neighbor. or a partner
in business He keeps all about him in
the same state of mind as if they wero
living in the neighborhood of hornets
nest, or of a rabid animal. And. as to
prosperity in business, one gets along no
better for being angry. What if business
is perplexing, and everything goes by
contraries? Villa fit of passion make
the winds more prop,itious. the grounds
more favorable ? Will bad temper draw
customers, pay debts, and make creditors
ter-natured ? An angry man adds moth
ing to the welfare of society. Since, then
anger is useless, disgracetul. without the
least apology, aud found only in the. bos.
oms of fools, why should it be INDUCED iu
at all.

rest walking to his right and rear. the di-

into line, up and down the aisle, still
faced by the right aauk. The lady.
when she sees that the coast is clear,
completes her salute and advances to her

taken, of course. by other parties not to
enter the aisle when this evolution is in

UNCLE PHlN.
BY CALEB RUSSETT.

IT would be difficult to find in search
ing the world over, an individual like the
subject of our sketch, who was univer-
S lily known under the sobriquet of I'm
Gle Phin." His quaint original humor.
his genial social nature, will long be re-
MON bered, and. take him all in all, We
shall never see his like again " 1t would be
hard to conceive a greater bundle of &C.
centricities and oddities thrown together
IN one man, than was concentrated in
Phineas H. Commencing the world as
manufacturer of WOODEN goods, with
the capital of ouly his head and hands to
help him, he gradually. by untlring and
industry and perseverance, amassed a
fortune; yet in the heyday of prosperity
he retained his primitive habits of social
ty and odd-fashioned manner of speech,
to the close of life.
A large pond which gave the motive
power to the factory was famed far aud
near for being wellstocked with fish,
which made it quite place of resort to
people of angling propensities. The result
was, as il often ppens in business when
overdone, so many engaged in it. as de-
stroyed its value as fishing ground.
This fact led Uncle Phin to pass law,
immutable as the Medes aud Persians,
that no person under any pretense what
ever, should throw line into the water,
for the space of five years. under penalty
of the statute in such cases made and
provided
As natural consequence. every angler
was seized with morbid DESIRE from
that time and henceforth, to seduce the
fnny tribe from their native element in
that particulr locality. The quaint SEN
timent, "a stick and string worm at
one end. a fool at the other" found no
answering comment in their minds, The
law, and Uncle Pbin thrown ia with it,
had but little weight at the stait, but Fl.
nally the statute and its supporter tri-
umphed. with only one exception. which
is now given.

the information that Daddy Moores'
Was fishing some distance of, on the othcl
side Of the pond. Let it be mentioned
here en- passent. that the old man il
question was as deaf as an adder Losing
no time, Uncle Phin rushed out and. ap
proaching within hailing distance, cried
out at the top of his voice: ...
II say. Mr.. Mcorcs, take off that ar,
pickereel bait"
jerking his hook out of the water, anc
laying his pole on the ground. he cloppc'
one hand to his ear in the fashion of
speaking trumpet, aud responded:
"Hey?'
81 say, you blarsted old fool, take Of
that are pickerecl bait in double quicl
time, if you only know what is good 70

"Mr. Harlow went up to Mr.. Spear
to work." shouted the old man, in hi
loudest key.
Il "You miserable old skunk take oi
that are rickerecl bait" M
"He went afore breakfast, and wont b
back aforc night" responded the old man

You have heard" said youth to his sweet
heart who stood
While he sat on corn-sheaf at daylight's de-.

..You have heard of the Danish boys whistle Of
wood
wish that Danish boys whistle was mine
"And what would you do with it? Tell me"
she said. ..
While an arch smile played over her beautiful
face.
II would blow it, he answered, land then my
fair maid
Would fly to my side and would there take her
place"
''Is that all you wish it for? That may be yours
Without any magic" the fair maiden cried:
"a favor so slight ones good nature lecures ~
And she playfuly seated herself by his side.
IL would blow it again" said the youth, land
the charm
Would work so that not even modesty's check
Would be able to keep from my neck your fine
ARM
She smiled as she placed her fair arm round
his neck
,Yet once more would l blow and the music di-
vine
Would bring me third time an exquisite bliss
You would lay your fair cheek to this brown one
of mine,
And your lips stealing past it would give me
kiss"
The maiden laughed out In her innocent glee-
"What a fool of yourself with the whistle
you'd make:
For only consider how silly 'twould be
TO sit there and WHISTLE for what you might
take"

ssy The Philadelphia Ledger remarks
that year ago $4,000 was the outside
price of sinking petroleum we'll. and
from $3. 600 to 81 600 about the average
Now it is 10000
A year ago the working expense of a
well was about $40 per day-now it is
10. Then oil brought $40 at the we'll

result was that every well producing two
barrels and more per day was worth

Now we see that unless it produces ten
barrels it hardly pays to keep it going,

worth anything at less than 20 barrels.
Nor will one 10 90 of those sunk produce
20 barrels; hardly that proportion pro.
