The Women OF Paris.

Some OF the incidents in the women
fights in Paris we're thrilling in the OK
IRENE. A medical student offered
one who was greatly exhausted some
bread and wine. She declined them,
saying: "F'or the short time left me
shall not need Them" Immediately
after the commanding officer Of the
Versailles troops was heard addressing
the women: "You are brave; you
have killed two of my men," The wo-
men burst into fierce laughter and OK.
claimed "Aiay the curse Of the AL.
mighty rest upon my soul for not killing
more. had two sons killed at Issy and
two at Neuilly. Ny husband died at
this barricade. Now do with me what
you will" Then there was the word
i" fire." and the woman fell dead.
OF the men it is said, lieutenant
colonel Of the Commune, who was a
Pole by the name of Potokenski, said he
had but one privilege to ask Of his exc
cutioners when he found that all prison.
ers were shot. He asked to die in his
uniform. Melin, one OF the members
of the Commune, was tied to o post to
be shot, and his last words were; "We
have lost the game this time, but our
children will begin it again some day
and then succeed" A very common
last cry was, especially Of fine looking
young women, "Shoot, shoot at once. "
Some who were about to be conveyed
off, as it was pretended, for examination,
took their stand and exclaimed. "No,
We perish here. Save us the fatigue Of
that journey"

Growth of the Petroleum Trade.

The extraordinary increase of the
Petroleum trade is one of the notable
features of the commercial returns of the
past year. We find very full and valu-
able statistics, in relation to this impor-
tant interest, in the annual report of the
Chamber of Commerce, of New York, just
issued from the press. 1t appears that
the exports Of Petroleum il 1870 were
81 per cent. greater than those Of the
previous year, and that nearly all this
increase, or SO per cent, is accounted
for by the shipments from the port Of
New York. The total export from the
United States in 1870 was al ,20S, 155
gallons--against 100000 gallons in
1860, and 99,20l, 900 gallons in 1868 ;
showing an increase of nearly 100000
in two years. The first sale noticed for
export was in May, 1861, when 10000
gallons were sent to foreign markets.
Antwerp, which has since led all other
ports il the importation of Petroleum,
took in that year 5,671 gallons, increas-
ing the amount in the following yeM to
more than 100000 gallons. Great
Britain took 579, 00Og allonsin 186l-and
Ill 1862 increased her importation to
1928, 900 gallons. The continued growth
of this trade for ten years-from l,500,-
900 gallons in 1860, to 14l, 100000 in
lS70-is wonderful exhibit, not only
on account of the rapid development of
the oil interest, but also because the
yearly increase has been steady. The
daily average product Of the Pennsyl-
vania oil district in December, 1867, was
10, 400 gallons in the same month Of
1870, it was Is, 214 gallons--a fact which
shows the inexhaustibility OF the region.
In regard to the home consumption, it
is estimated that it is equal to one-half
the quantity exported-making, in round
numbers, an aggregate consumption of
I'll 100000 gallons annually. This
enormous amount, reckoning the price
at an average of 20 cents per gallon
represents a value of more than SAP, 00O,-
900 for single year certainly a remark
able return for a product unknown to
Commerce ten years ago.

Slaughter of the Apaches.

The Prescott (Arizona) Miner OF June
"a gives the following particulars OF the
slaughter of fiFty-six Apache Indians at q
point near Tonic Creek in that Terri
tory: 1t will be recollected that the cause
of the slaughter was the killing OF
Bowers & Co. $ herdsmen, and the cap
ture Of that herd by tie Apaches. The
Indians had no %Joner obtained possess
ion of the herd Than messenger was de.
spatched to convey the news of the out.
rage to the people of Prescott. On re-
ceipt of the news party of eleven citi-
zens started in pursuit of the savages.
On arriving at Aqua Frio they were join
ed by patty of five citizens of that
valley, and the whole force of sixteen
men started on the trail. After proceed
ing ffty-fve miles they met a detach-
ment OF the Third Cavalry, under com.
mand of Lieutenant Chas. M, Morton,
which was likewise in pursuit of these
InIians. The citizens joined the force
under Lieutenant Morton, and the Jour-
ney was resumed with fresh vigor. After
proceeding thirty.fve miles the party
went into camp OF O late hour of the
evening. On the morning of tic 9Th
they again took up the trail, which they
followed for twenty miles, and at l
o'clock P. NJ. came upon "rancheria,"
which they quickly surrounded, killing
twenty-one Of the inmates Feeling
satisfied that there were numerous H.
dams in the neighborhood, and determin-
ed that they should have the least posi-
bic time to prepare for battle or to effect
a retreat, the command moved quickly
forward in search of another d" ranch
cria." This they discovered on the fol-
following day, after crossing the division
between the Verde and Tonic Creek. A
fight OF once ensued, in which twenty
three Indians we've killed. AT this place
three OF the captured horses were discov.
cred, and one was recaptmed, and two
were killed by the Indians when they
discovered that they were about to fall
into the hands of the command. From
this place they followed the principal
trail for three miles, when they discover
ed three Indians in the distance mount
ed on two horses, two of these were shot
dead and the third wounded, and both
horses recaptured. The supply OF pro-
visions being by this time nearly exhaust
ed and the distance from Camp Mellow
ell, the nearest military post, upwards of
fifty miles, it Was decided to abandon
further pursuit and return OF once. The
command accordingly took up the home
ward journey, arriving at Camp Mellow
ell on the morning of the 10Th,

A Brief History of Long Branch.

Long Branch takes its name from n
brook, a branch of the Shrewsbury
river. In the year 1893 the place was
inhabited by Indians, and was styled
Lands End. About that time four men,
named respectively Parker, Slocum, War
dell and Hewlett came from Rhode
Island aud established settlement
there. A considerable portion of the land
which they obtained continued in the
possession of the Slocums until thirty
years ago, and some of the land war;
rants are still in existence. A few years
later other hardy settlers from neighbor-
ing provinces bought land in Long
Branch at twenty shillings an acre,
built dwellings, and occupied themselves
with farming and fishing. 1t now EN-
braces population of four thousand
five hundred.
The Liberty Pole is the name given to
the village, from flag staff erected
there during the war of 1912, while the
coast portion, upon which the cottages
and hotels are located, is known as the
Shore, fronting the ocean. Land pur-
chased at the edge OF the village by Mr..
Samuel Laird, in 1853, for So. SO an acre,
was sold for 1000 in 1870, soon after
the Darlington Pathway was opened.
The first hotel erected ut Long Branch
was the Ocean House. There are now
accommodations for twenty thousand
people. Three years ago Blythe Beach,
south Of the present West End Hotel,
comprised only farming lands, To-day
1t is laid out as q pork, with new roads
from seventy to one hundred feet wide,
and beautiful sites for cottages. OF
these there are now two hundred.

Those Eyes that were 10 Bright.

Those eyes that wore 30 bright, lovo,
Have now a DINNER shine;
But what they've lost in light, love,
Was what they gave to mine.
And still those orbs reflect, love,
The beams Of former hours;
That ripened all my joys, my love,
And tinted al my flowers.
These locks were brown to see, love,
That now are turned TO gray;
But the years We're spent with me, love,
That stole their hue away.
Thy locks no longer share, love,
Tho golden glow OF noon,
But I've seen the world look fair, my love,
When silvered by tho moon.
That brow was fair to sec, love,
That looks so shaded now;
But for me it bore the care, love,
That spoilt bonny brow
And though no longer there, love,
The gloss it had OF yore,
Still memory looks and dotes, my love,
Where hope admired before.

A CRUEL MuRDER.-Miss Joan Nc
Cormick, seventeen years old, eldest
daughter of wealthy farmers widow
living in DeKalb Oounry, Illinois, was
shot and instantly killed, while sitting
at the supper-table with her mother,
her brother and sister. The murder was
committed by an ignorant farm hand
named John Reed, who had worked for
her mother three seasons, and the only
cause was that the young lady had re-
fused to accompany him to Fourth of
July celebration. Reed fred two shots
through the window from double-bar-
relied shotgun, the first charge entering
her brain and killing her instantly, the
second passing over the head of little
sister sitting in range, and lodging in
the ceiling. Reed returned the gun to
q neighbor from whom he had borrowed
it, and fed Forty men on horseback

were dispatched to various railroad sta
tons, some even going to Aurora and
Chicago, to intercept h flight.
