MINING DEPARTMENT.

As to- the origin Of these deposits of iron
or along this new belt, there seems to be
but one way of explanation open to u.s.
| The fact that they are found in the lower
as well as in the upper sand stone, and that
TOO, where the sand stone is covered with
$50 or 200 feet of limestone. as is the case
at Mr.. Ruggles' place on the road from
Arena to DodgevilIe, cuts off all chances
for explanation by surface agencies. such
is some times found in connection with
bog-iron GRE. And again, the fact that it
is found in connection with assures, and
especially rich at their points of contact,
would indicate very different origin.
At Centerville. in the township Of Blue
River. there is rich deposits in connection
with range of assures cutting through
the bed of sand stone. Then assures

FROM MADISON,

Another legislative week has gore How
many such weeks would make calendar
year, it is hard to say; but more than
fity-two would be required.
The old adage, /" the moro haste the less
speed" is applicable to the Wisconsin
Legislature at this time. The question as
TO the validity of the so-called Constitu-
tional Amendment, adopted at the last
fall election, restricting local legislation, is
not vet settled. The resolution in rela-
ton to this subject is in the hands OF the
Joint committee on general laws. IL is
understood that the opinion o:the Supreme
Court will be asked soon, and the decis-
ion thus obtained will be regarded as final.
Until this point is settled nothing can be
done under the amendment; hence, on
the supposition that two weeks must
elapse before the report Of the committee
can be made, Senator DUMMY, on the 26th,
offered joint resolution for

The OIL Question.

The movement of the Associations OF
Oil Producers, says in Oil City dispatch,
to shut down all pumping wells and stop
the whole production of oil in the coun-
try for thirty days, is fast gaining
ground, and it is likely that in a few
days, few, If any, wells in all the oil
region will be oper alton. There was
meeting of the Oil City Association at
Oil city, and committee was appointed
to make an examination and report how
much of the total production can be
stopped. Some of those most anxious
IN the matter pledged themselves at once,
and shut down to remain shut if the
movement becomes general. Several
hundred wells in several districts are
already stopped under the above condi-
tions.
The total production of oil in this
country is now above 100000 barrels IN
stock. On account of this immense sur
plus the producers are in the power OF
the refners and exporters, who are able
to keep the price of crude oil down to
what the producers regard as a ruinous
rate. 1t is expected by stopping pro
duction for thirty days the stock on hand
will be reduced to four or five hundred
thousand barrels, and some favor sus-
pension of production for sixty days,
which would reduce it to 200, 900. The
productiveness of the wells would not be
over 1000 barrels per day on resuming,
and the price of crude oil, it is calcula-
ted, would go up to SIS per barrel or
nearly double the present rates. The
only reason why the suspension OF pro-
duction will not certainly be general in
few days. is that few producers may
refuse to unite in the movement, and
this will induce others to keep working,
because they say they will not shut down
for the benefit of the few, if any, who
will continue.

Execution Of an Arab.

A correspondent writing from Algiers
gives this description of an execution.
While waiting in the inner court and
outside the door of the justice chamber,
tall, gaunt Arab was dragged in to
receive final sentence from the Bey.
Having been already condemned for
murder, the dragoman of the Consul
General, who accompanied me, told me
that, if not pardoned, the execution
would take place Immediately, and
fastened me out of the palace to take up
places in the open space in front. We
had scarcely done SO when the crowd
issued forth from the gates, headed by
Bady Schafhar, the hereditary execu-
toner, in friendly conversation with
those nearest him. This interesting old
gentleman wore no disguise of any sort,
as his office is not held disgraceful here.
Immediately after him came the con-
demned man, struggling in the hands of
few Arabs. while handful of officials
vainly strove to keep back the crowd.
The I3f.he party came up to the very spot on
which we were standing, cleared little
ring about twelve feet in diameter, pull
ed off the victims burban and clothes,
tied his hands behind his back, and
bl1ndfolded him with a piece of rag.
They then forced him on his knees, and
Badly Schafhar drew his old wooden
handled scimiter there was a pause
for few seconds then the executioner
raised his arm, and seemingly without
any exertion, and with one stroke the
head rolled clean from the body, and
fountain of boiling blood gushed forth.
Death must have been instantaneous,
for the body tumbled on the ground
without culver. AS the prisoner was
dragged forth from the justice chamber,
he was followed by an Arab crying out,
at the top of his voice
Live the Bey live tie Bey -
On inquiry, I found he was the
brother of the murdered man triumphant
in having got blood for blood" He
had just refused $4,000 piasters (S4, ,25O)
from the friends of the prisoner, to let
him 60 and I was told that the Bey
himself had offered large sum, but
without success.

A Swindle Exposed.

A special telegram from New York
contains the following, which may possi-
bly, interest some of our readers:
"Parties who have suffered by the
frauds of Frederick H. Greer, who pur-
ports to publish book entitled uni
versal Biography are prepared to pros
ecute him. 1t is reported that he has
fled from the city. Greer was formerly
telegraph operator in Cincinnati and
other Western cities, and has been en-
gagged in his biograph swindle above
three years. Persons familiar with his
transactions say of the Universal Bio
graphy' business, that there never was
such a book that Greer had a large
number of specimen copies so bound
that he can remove and insert leaves,
with the aid of sponge and pot OF
mucilage, he writes biography, has it
set in type. and pastes it in the copies
furnished to his subscribers. If John
F. Smith orders his biography and ff-
teen copies of the book, he is set up and
pasted in that manner, occupying pages,
say from 200 to 220. John Jones orders
the same number of copies, and find his
virtues recorded on pages 200 to 22O,
inclusive. 1t is further said that by the
ingenious wording of the contract signed
by each seeker after fame, he is bound
to take and pay for an entire edition OF
five thousand. Greer's ledger is in the
possession of Justice Hogan. All the
pages except two were sealed but ne
ordered the seals to be broken, where
upon it appeared that great many per-
sons of more or less prominence were
down for sums running from fifteen dol
lars to one thousand five hundred dollars.
Over 200 pages of biographies average
eight names each. The names include
politicians, cIergymen, officials, manu-
facturers, authors, army and naval off
GERS, editors, and men of nearly all pro-
fessions, and will shortly be published,
with the amounts which they have paid
for their glory"

Two Merchants.

When trade grew slack, and notes fell due,
The merchants face grew long and blue;
His dreams were troubled through the night
With sherifs, bailiffs, all in sight.
At last his wife unto him said
g Rise up at once, get out Of bed,
Sand get your paper, ink and pen,
"And say these words unto all men -
"My goods I wish to sell to you,
"And to your wife and daughters, too;
"My prices they shall be so low,
"That each shall buy before they CO."
He did as his good wife advised,
And in the paper advertised;
Crowds came and bought of all he had,
His notes were paid, his dreams were glad,
And he will tell you, to this day,
How well did printers ink repay.
He told us, with knowing wink,
How he was saved with printers ink.
Another-ln place as tight
Contented was the press to slight;
He did not let the people know,
Of what he had or where to go.
His drafts were due and were not paid;
A levy on his goods was made;
The store was closed until the sale,
And for some time he was in jail.
A bankrupt now, without cent,
At leisure he can deep repent
That he was foolish and unwise,
And did not freely advertise.
