ted gallons, from which it ranges to barrels,

man has four or five hundred wells he is gen
orally considered well off, and "barrelsful
of oil' is the synonym of "pocketsful of

The effect of the flow of currency to the

COMPULSORY DUcATIoN.-The people
of California have heartily indorsed the
principle of compulsory education, which
is leading feature in the Republican pro-
gramme. Having done so, it becomes
their duty to elect the Republican condi-
date for State Superintendent of lustruc
tim, who is an able representative of the
most advanced educational theories 1t
would be difficult to select two men who
form stronger contrast than I'olander
and Fitzgerald The former is highly
educated teacher, trained in the broadest
and most liberal schools. and deeply i'm
bued with the most enlightened doctrines.
The latter is the representative of that
Southern element which has always des-
pissed educational advantages, and a
member of that party which has always
traded upon the ignorance of the masses.
Illiberal, bigoted, lacking that educational
training which is absolutely necessary to
the proper ful6lment OF the duties of his
office, it would have been scarcely possible
to select candidate more untitled Tor the
position he aspires to, than Fitzgerald.
His course in Office has certainly not been
of character to inspire confidence in him,
and his principles and theories are directly
antagonistic to the platform which the
people have declared in favor Of We
tru-t; therefore, that the Republicans
everywhere throughout the State will turn
out next month in full force, and vote for
the man who has been selected as the
most fitting representative Of the most lib
eral aud advanced ideas of educational
reform.

BoNE FELoN.-nf all painful things
can there be any so excruciatingly painful
as bone felon. We know of none that
flesh is heir to. As this malady is quite
frequent and subject of much earnest con-
sideration. we give the latest recipe for its
cure which is given BY that high authori-
ty, the London .ancet:
"As soon as the disease is felt put direct
ly over the spot fly lister, about the size
of your thumb nail, and let it remain for
six hours, at the expiration of which time,
directly upon the surface Of the blister may
be seen the felon which can be taken out
with the point of needle or lancet"

A SAD LITTLE STokY.-A very curl
Gus incident, illustrative of the power
which can be exercised over the animal
creation by kindness and careful training,
occurred but few days ago at Scottsvi.le,
Kentucky The sister of officer Harry
Mansfield of this city, had raised mock
ing bird which she taught to come and
go at her call, and in return for all the
kindness bestowed upon it, exhibited a
peculiar fondness for her. Last Monday
week Miss Mansfield was taken i'll, and to
while away the tedium of the sick room.
she had the little pet b ought to her bed
side. and day and night it cheered her
with its sweet carols, br;ngin. to mind
many happy thoughts of field and meadow,
sunshine and song. As her illness grew
more alarming, an! day after day brought
no relief from suffering, the warblings of
the little songster rather served to annoy
than please her, and so turning on her pill
low she said to him, "Birdie, hush, you
worry me-" Strange TO say the words
seemed to be understood, for Immediately
the song was hushed. and the bird retired
within itself, as it were On the next
day the lady died, leaving, it would seem,
a command of silence upon the bird, which
will never be broken, for although several
days have elapsed since, and every effort
has been made to induce him to sing, he
refuses to respond with song to any lips
but those of his once loved mistress.

LIES DARKER DAYS.

THREE times, in one short year, has death
entered with noiseless foots,ep into our
quiet home, and, with icy hand, cast his
pail over our loved ones Within a
twelvemonth nearly all we held dear has
turned to dust, and we are left 10 loneli-
pess and gloom. s'The heart knoweth its
own bitterness, and we would not parade
our griets to the gaze of the public, though
kindly words Of sympathy are like cool
waters to the feversa invalid. Those who
have fingered by the bedside Of dying
companion, and looked into the eyes Of love
as the light Of life faded away-who bav.
held the hand which has so often caressed
with tenderness as the futtering pulses
grow fainter-haye seen the heavenly smile
just lighted by the glory of the better land,
can sympsthizc with us. How poor, at
such times, earth appears-how unreal the
present life of shadows
For three years the shadow has gather
ed over our hearth, aud the tender solicit
tude that knew the possibilities Of Gods
providence has been constantly ours. Yet
the falling of three heivy blows leaves US
stunned and bewildered, with an abiding
sense Of poverty Of that love for which the
soul hungers' The world has no healing
for grief, and oftener bestows the laugh of
scorn than the tear of tenderness. But
in the seal that death sets upon our loved
ones, we read the tenderness OF the Father
of All, who says to the weary and heavy
laden, "Come unto me and | will yive Won
rest. God "gives to his beloved Sleep"
iu the land which John saw iu blessed
vision. where He shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes, and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain"
So we wearily take up the burden of life
again, till it leases the All Father to call
us to the only home we have, the one where
our dear ones are, within the city whose
first foundation is jasper, and whose light
is God himself-[Nothern Tier Gazette

Twas Paradise. she said, and to aud fro
Passed angels radiant with bliss, and, 10!
Her own lost cLild moved slowly through the
baud
He bore burden in his little hand,
Heavy it seemed
vase both large and deep.
''What dearest thou, my dearest one 7" asked
she.
"My mothers tears" he answered wearily,
Eva awoke. The sun smiled ON the flowers,
But never more through all the lonely hours.
Did Eva weep.
