now TO STOP OIL FIRES

A correspondent Of the Roch-
chester Union, writing from
Titusville, Pennsylvania, makes
the following valuable sugges-
tons H.I
Allow me to suggest how a
crude oil fire may be managed,
for, with the large amount dali
ly passing through your city on
cars, some day you may have
one. Keep the water away
from it. AS the burning fluid
will of course run, the first
thing, and the greatest thing,
is to dam it. Anything will
do; a board stuck across a gut
ter, or wherever the oil may be
running, will answer until it
can be secured with mud. Then
make a hole near the bottom of
the dam, and ifa pipe is handy
put it in aud allow the oil to
run away. This oil will not
be on fire, as the fame always
lies on the surface. When the
oil is lowered so that the hole
or pipe would soon be exposed,
stop up the opening, else the
flame will follow. Then let
the oil that may be left to burn
at its pleasure. The advantage
of a pipe or tube consists in
carrying the saved oil SO far
from the burning mass that the
gas from the oil may not ignite
from the flame.
If water be thrown upon
burning oil, its only effect is to
bear the flaming fury onward
whithersoever the water bears
it, into cellars, stores and-all
over. Oil region experience
discards the water treatment
entirely.

1t is said that fish may be
kept alive for ten days or more
without water by filling their
mouths with crumbs of bread
saturated with brandy, and
pouring a little brandy in their
stomachs, after which, in this
torpid state, they may be pack
ed in straw. They become
alive in few hours when again
placed in fresh water

years, who was always compel
led to keep quiet on Sunday,
having grown weary toward
the close of a Sabbath day,
frankly and honestly approach
ed his excellent but rather
strict father, and gravely said ;
PA, let's have a little spiritual
fun This was TOO much, not
only for the gravity but for the
strictness of the father, and
for once he 'let natur' caper'

A few Sundays ago, a cler-
gyman in Maine had occasion,
in the course of his sermon, to
use his handkerchief, and to
his establishment scattered, in
all directions some fifty speci-
mems of paper dolls, which his
little daughter had lodged in
the parental pocket for safe
keeping. The effect upon the
audience was marked.

Wendell Phillips on the La
Dor Question.

Wendell Phillips on Tuesday
last addressed the Massachu-
sets Legislature committee ap-
pointed to investigate the sub
ject of the hours of labor. He
estimated the earnings of the
laboring class in this country
at nearly $4,000, 100000 annu-
ally, and thought that fact de-
manded the attention of legis-
lation to their interest. He
deprecated the tendency, es-
pecially evident since the war,
of the legislation Of the rich
and the poor as independent
classes. The rich growing
richer and the poor poorer. =
The tendency is for the children
Of the rich to be separately edu-
Gated and the great mutual
benefit of their contact with the
poor is lost, and with it also
the interest of the rich in the
public schools. When the time
comes in this country that a
permanent laboring class exists,
the knell of republican institu-
tions has been sounded. A
great problem of American
craftsmanship is to make corpo-
rations consistent with Ameri-
can institutions. The great
question of the future in Coop
Grafton, to which we must come,
sooner or later. The question
of eight hours he considered as
a stepping stone to better con-
dltion than the ]aboring class
now has. Mr.. Phillips spoke
Of the Grades Union, not de-
tending them, but claiming that
they were the only means of
! selt-protect1on the laboring
classes have. The whole sys-
tenn was indefensible, except
upon that ground. He was in
favor of a commission, but
feared a satisfactory one could
not to be obtained. Girls who
came before the commission last
year and gave their evidence
lost their places Of work when
they returned on account Of it..
He did not expect the rights Of
the laboring people would be
secured until the Republican
party took hold of it, which
would be when the power of the
working men is felt at the bal
lot-box. A feeling must be
created that there is no right by
which men shall be worked up
to make cotton cheaper. Fail
ling in having a proper commits
sion, he would have an officer
appointed as an inspector or
commissioner of labor, with a
good salary, who would have
the power to require exhibits
from corporations that all laws
in regard to labor have been
observed and with power tc
compel their observance. He
wanted the same officer to col
lect information in regard to the
annual average hours Of actua
labor each day, deducting alb
sence from sickness, &C., rates
of wages, rents, prices of pro,
visions, some estimate Of the
social and comfortable condi-
ton of the laboring classes, land,
in short, all matters relating to
them. Such a step he also con-
sidered merely temporary one
The great remedy is yet tc
come when the ballot is PLACED
in the hands of the laborine
classes.

DOUBLE ELOPEMENr. A couple of
Toung ladies, all the way from Umatilla
county, arrived at Walla Walla on Mon
day, accompanied by their lovers, and
at once sought to have the nuptial knots
tied. The ladies being under age, the
Auditor declined to issue the requisite
license, aud hence it became necessary
to apply to the Probate Judge to have
guardians appointed. This occupied
time, and in the meantime the painting
lovers, like Tantalus, were not permits
ted to enjoy the fruit that was so tempt>
ingly near. If these difficulties continue
to intervene, Walla Walla will soon cease
to be the Gretna Green for Oregon Low,
ers.
Since the above was in type, we learn
that Judge Gulcbard has refused to ap,
point guardians for the young ladies,
aad bases his decision on the fact that
there is not sufficient proof of their res.
idence. Should they remain here thirty
days, the application will be entertain
ed. This is altogether too long for
ardent lovers, and in future parties to
esloPenents are likely to give Walla
Halla a wide berth
