In the first days of the oil fever, one
DR.. Egbert a physician on Oil Creek,
says letter writer, was the owner OF II
miserable tract OF land, lying on the
creek about twelve miles below Titusville
and opposite the now hourishing town Of
Petroleum Centre. Falling in with all
the rest, after the oil excitement began,
the doctor, Of course, must try for oil,
as it was quite apparent his barren acres
could never produce anything else. He
drilled and drilled until his money finally
rin ont but the oil didn't, and the doc
tor was stuck. Being perseyering sort
Of fellow, aud dreaming himself half in.

oyerlaid Il lathomlcss lake of petroleum,
that only waited the advent Of the drill
to burst forth and cover him all over with
JOY and greenbacks, he did not for mo.

piled to one Charles HYDE, country
grocer, doing II small business nenr by, to
furnish the needful wherowith to finish
boring the well. Afterlongand laborous
confab at divers times, the high con-
trcting parties ut length arrived at an
agreement The money was forthcom-
ing and they were to own the well joint

fore the funds again ran dry, the oil rhu

Millaud. the banker and newspaper
speculator, who died recently in Paris,
aud who founded the Paris Pihe Jomma,
which ut one time had daily circulation
of nearly halt million copies, was an en-
thusiastic believer in the advantages OF
liberal advertising. One day he had at his
table nearly all the proprictors of the lead
ing Paris dailics They conyerscd about
advertising. Millaud asserted that the
most worthless articles could be sold in
vast quantities, if liberally advertised.
Emil de Girardin. of In PreSse who was
present, took issue with him on the sub
icct, "What will you bet, exclaimed
Millaud THAT | cannot sell in one week

Girardin replied that he would give him

win his wager. The other newspaper
publishers agreed To do the same thing.

A New Flying Machine.

A flying machine has not yet been per.
iccted, though many ingenius plans have
been tIied. The latest attempt TO mike
II machine which can be sustained in the
air for long period, and moved in any
direction at the will Of the operator, has
been made by Philadelphia mechanic,
who has been experimenting for four
years. We were present ut a private ex
hibition Of the model.
The model embraces cigar-shuped
balloon, twelve feet long by six in diam
eter, and the car and machinery are su
pended. A copper globe, one footin
ametcr, is filed with compressed aii,
communicating through hollow rod
with II small engine, which drives three
paddles on each side. Wherr the com
pressed air is liberated the paddles are
driven at any degree Of ofyelocity, and can
prUpel the machine at speed OF eight
miles an hour. The paddles can be de.
pressed and rnised, and thus net us the
steering apparatus. The success OF the
model was astonishing. The flying ma.
chine moved maiestically through the
air, sometimes in circle Of the room,
sometimes in stnlight line, and again
revolving on an imaginary pivot, instant
ly obcying the touch Of the operator,
Mr.. Judson claims for his machine
that, unlike the balloon, it does not re-
quire expenditure of ballast to rise or the
loss Of gus to descend. After imitation
the float is untouched, aud the paddles
can run it either up or down ut an angle
of thirty degrees.
1t is the intention OF Mr. Judson to
build larger model Tor exhibition in one
of our large halls. All the profits thus
derived arc to be strictly applied to the
construction Of Il large real flying ma-
chine, large enough to carry man, and
Mr.. Judson is hopeful that II the public
sristains him-why, the machine will sus.
tain him also.--PhRniephm Post.

Stitched gloves arc no longer consid-
cred fashionable, and are preferred with
four or six buttons, without any division
ut the wrist.
a new style of fringe for dress consists
of olive shaped passementerie ornaments,
alternating with small leaves studded
with jet beads.
A few foppish young men wear over
coats Of seal.skin or cloth lined with
crimson silk, and the coat is worn open
for ostentatious display.
A new style of earring has chain
fastened from one earring to the other,
passing under the chin and answering
the double purpose Of a necklace also.
A new style OF holder for brides
boquet is of frosted silver in the shape of
narrow.pointed leaves, and at the end Of
each leaf small bell Of the same metal.
Striped velvet and satin dresses are
very much in vogue for street wear over
black or brown silk dresses.
The large pointed wells now take the
place OF the tiny voilletts which have
been so much worn this season,
The latest style Of looped ovcr-skirt

Sleeveless lnce sacks are very stylish,
worn with light silk dresses, for the

CuuIs AND FEvER. -NIalarious fevers
still have the unpleasant prevalence
which they gsined after the drought,
Summer before last. Places which for
many years before enjoyed the happy
reputation Of being exempt, are Obliged
to confess the impeachment, and can
only fall back on the consolation that
they are so far not alone in the expert
ence TINT it would be difficult to name u
locality which is entirely free. Druggists
report Il largely increased demand for
quinine from every quarter, and from
new customers, and the drug has recently
advanced greatly in price. That mala-
riOus fevers, so called, are truly caused
by malnrious poisons is conviction
more than ever strong in the medical
profession, confirmed by a great multi
tude Of facts which seem to admit OF no
other explanation. Tint such poison,
rs well rs any poisonous or delCtenous
influence, is more apt TO take effect on
the human system, and in developing
disease, when the system is in de-
pressed condition, as when chilled or
when by any cause its tone is lowered
below the highest standard Of health, is
no less true Prevention is to besought
in avoiding as far as may be the malnria,
and in keeping the body fortified against
its incursion. In the animal us well as

general law that vigorous life can be
expected to resist theincursions of many

came. The film is u thick, white,

in attacks of this disease. The girl and
her sister came to that city from the
eastern part of the State to work in the
mills, and was mwell on her arrival.
She went to work one day, however,

iberia. The usual treatment in such
cases was rcsOrted to, but the patient
grew worse, aud brcathcd with great
difficulty. Recently she had violent
fit of coughing, and seemed to be strang-
ling. The nurse who had charge of her
had the presence Of mind to put her
finger down the girls throat, and seized
the end of something which appeared
loose there, aud pulled out what proved
to be- the false membrane Of which We
have spoken. The presence of mind
Of the nurse saved the girl, who is re

duccs upon the strength of the tribe us

horscman and warrior Of the Plains,
where Nature placed him, and contrast

is supposed to be revollingin the delight
ful comforts and luxuries Of an cnlighten'
ed condition, but who in reality is
groyelling in beggry, bcreit Of many
qualities which in his wild state tended
to render him noble, aud heir to com.
bination Of vices partly his own, partly
bcqueathed to hun from the palc.iaco,
one is forced, even against desire, TO
conclude that there isunending antngo-
niNm between the Indian nature and that
with which his well.meanIng white
brother would endow him. Nature in
ended him for IL savage state every in.
stinct, every impulse Of his soul inclines
him to it. The white rnce might fall
into barbnruus state, and afterwards
subjected to the influence Of civilization,
be reclaimed and prosper. Not so the
Indian. He cannot be himself and be
civilized he iades away and dies. Guilt.
wilton such rs the white man would give
him deprives him Of his identity. Edu-
cation, strange ms it may appear, seems
to weaken rather than strengthen his in.
