OF all the remedies that have been discover
ed during the present age for the "thousand
ills that flesh is heir to,' none equal this won
derful preparation Only ten years have
elapsed since the discoverer (who spent de-
cade in studying experiments. and perfecting
it, first introduced it to the public, and it is al
ready recognized by the most eminent physi-
clans IN all parts Of the country, to be the most
surprising and effective remedy for certain dis
eases of which they have knowledge.
All other compounds or syrups of this root
have hitherto failed to command the sanction
of the faculty, because on being tested, they
have been found to contain n0Xious ingredf-

Fight;ns the Devil.

One night at u late heuI, DR.. Bently
was disturbed at his studies by a. rafting
sound among some wood, which sawed
and split, had been left by the teamster,
the afternoon previous, too late to be prop
crfy housed. He arose, went cautiously
TO the window, and saw woman filing
her apron with wood, which she hastily
carried away. He resumed bis seat, and
commented his study. Shortly after, the
same noise occurred, and on looking out
saw Similar operation; the woman filling
,hsr great apron to the utmost limits of its
capacity. When she had gone. he re-
tnrned to bis book with tender pity in

Rurstine of the Oil Bubble.


On Saturday last the sheriff Of Venango
county, Pennsylvania, wound ua the ex-
istcnce of several oil companies by selling
their effects at auction to satisfy judg-
ments against them. Among these I'M
fortunates were representatives from all
the leading cities were the petroleum fever
ragged for time, and some of the COM
paniss knocked on the head by the sheriff's
hammer at one time figured largely in
prospectuses aud on the stock board.
One of the mosc noticeable names is
that of the President Petroleum Company,
which "'went it" chiefly on the strength of
its vast territory, embracing hundreds of
acres shaded on the map as ''good borab|e
territory" and dotted with "wells" in a
line with Glowing wells" on somebody
else's land. We believe that on the many
hundred acres of the President Company's
land not single paying we'll was bored.
We recognize among the other nan es
tho of companies whose chief advantage
lay in their having limited amount of
land, but subsequent explorations prov d
that the basin,if it existed at all, wSs
npty. Others claimed to be in district
where the oil was light in quality but large
in yield, whilst others insisted on the o. !
posite advantage of smaller yield but grea-
ter density, and therefore greater value.
One Cleveland organization figures in
the lst--the Cleveland and Buffalo
Petroleum Company. This was at enc
time promising affair, aud actually paid
dividend, but it is CIV ''down among
the dead men," along with its Cleveland
conf eres. Cleveland oil compani' were
born late and died early. The oil f,vcr
was long time reaching this place, and
ragged furicusly for period, and Was soon
over. Of the many companies organized
here but few put down more than one
hole, some did not reach that stage, and
none "ltruck ilen to the extent antcipa-
ted.
A recent sale Of oil stocks in Pittsburg
told the story of deprecated value in few
but pertinent figures. Stocks that had
been bought for at eight to twenty dollars
per share were sold at one to five cents,
and were probably bad investment at
those rates, as the figure ofthc inexcrable
sheriff looms up behind ninteen out of
twenty of the derricks in the oil regions
Out of more than one thousand recorded
il companies that existed in the opening
of 1865 the number of companies in
active existence now is few.
The story of disappointed hopes connec-
ted with the history of the petroleum
mania is not new one. The experience
of those who sunk their fortunes in the
"dry holes" of Pennsylvania and Virginia
is but repetition Of tho unfortunate spec
ulators in "copper"" and the purchasers
of shares in gold and siIvor leads" Min
ing of all kinds is lottery, in which the
prizes bear a ridiculously small proportion
to tho blanks. A few get rich by a1ucky
dive into the earth; more am ass Il for tune
by skiilful dive into the pockets of the
gullabie public; whilst nine hundred and
nienty nine out of thousand who expect
to get suddenly rich by Investments in
mining or oil-boriug, learn by costly ex-
periencc that "hope told fattering tale"
which events failed to realize. --Uereland

STATISTICS, Some statistical genius
declares that more money is expended in
the United States for cigars than for all
the common schools in the country. A
veg who is undoubtedly lover of the
weed, seeing the statement going the
rounds ofthe papers, gets offths following:
ait has been calculated that the cost of
washing linen that might just as veil be
worn two days longer, amounts to enough
in this country to more than defray the
expense Of the American Board of Foreign
Missions. The expenses of buttons on
the backs of coats, where they are of no
earthly use, is equal to the crppott of all
our orphan asylums. The value of tails
TO dress coats, (of no value reality for

ter. than the cost Of cur excellent systam
iofcomtaon schools. f.. 1t is estimated that
the,value of old boots thrown aside, which
might have been worn at least day long
err, is more than enough to buy fam,
night gown for every baby in the land.
Also that the cost of the extra inch on the
tallrshirt collars of our young men is equal
to the sun necessary to put a bible

will conduce to the latter results Hence
