a Smelling school,

The spclling-school fever affected some
of the gamins yesterday. They talked it
up around the postotlice, and q dozen or
more adjourned TO an alley and stood in q
row while one of their number pronounc-
ed words .'out of his head Dog "rat, ~
boot. "Icmon,' and some other words
had been got along with, when the word
"moro,co came into the teachers mind.
The first boy spelled it "more-rock-o, -
and all the rest followed, and when the
teacher filed his demurrer they ran him
over pile Of barrels and hit him with
frozen potatoes, thus interrupting the
harmony and breaking up the school
One of the boys was afterward heard
saving: What's spcllin good for, any
how, unless Teller wants to write poet.

Petroleum Abroad.

1t is not alone in the United States
that petroleum is largely developing.
Notwithstanding we make such immense
shipments abroad Of the home product,
there IRE other parts of the world from
which supplies may also be obtained.
Europe itself, in some parts, gives forth
the article, of late years. And now it
appears new industry is rapidly dcvel4
oping in Russia in the obtaining Of petrc-
leum. This mineral oil i found in
enormous quantities in the Trans .Cauca-
sus, particularly at Baku. The abolish
ing ofthe excise on petroleum in 1872,
which led to the sale of the innumcrable
oil springs to private persons, and to the
establishment of the Baku Petroleum
Company, gave an impetus to this bust
ness. In about eight months after the
abrogation OF the excise, near the town
of Buku alone were established, rs many
as eighty works preparing mineral oil
for the market.

GREAT care should be exercised III
drawing leases, and it is well to bear this
fact in mind at this season OF the year.
\ misunderstanding of quite serious
character. in which the Windsor H9tr!
COMPANY figures, has arisen in New
York. The Hotel Company took IstNe
of the premises tor ten years from May
1t, 1873, the rent for the first year to be
$4,000, the rent for the second year
100000, and for the third and sue
ccrdins years $4,000. If the building
was not completed the rent was not to
'yg'n to run until completion. The no
Tel was not completed until September
10Th. 1873. and the question arises As to
the time from which tho rent began to
rum whether from MAY or September.
The lessor claims that the $4,000 was
due tor the period ending May LIST; 1874.
The iessec>, however, claim that $4,000
Is due for year after the completion of
the building. About $4,000 depends on
the decision.

The HO. CrOn.

THE fact, which has Just come out. that
the hog crcp of last season was the lar
gest on mountaineering in value to
over ninety million dollars-and that the
marketing of this and of the beef product,
together with that Of the wheat and 9TH
er grains still remaining in the grsnsries
OF the west, must give that section the
handling OF an aggregate of more than a
hundred million dollars, tinges the mon
ey articles Of the New York press, in
picturing the business outlook, with an
unusually cheerful color. Speaking OF
the distribution and circulation Of this
large amount of money, the New ork
Times says:
"The influence of it will be felt from
the leading cities of the Atlantic coast to
those of almost every part of the western
country the merchant will feel il in re-
viving trade; the railroads will reap the
benefit of it in increased traffic, both
from the movement of produce to the
seaboard and the return flow of merchan-
disc to the interior; labor will feel it in
increased employment; various enter
prses left in a dormant state by
the panic of 1873 will be resusci-
tated; the cotton and wooden
mills of New England will
be fully employed; the blast furnaces Of
the Middle aud Western States gradual
ly set to work again, and throughout all
the qualifications of trade and commerce
will the influence of the marketing OF
our surplus products be favorably felt.
1t seems to be now generally conceded
that the country has reached the turning
point, and that from this time forward
the nation is likely to recuperate''steadiIy
from the depression which followed the
catastrophies of the eventiul year, 1873.

Tobacco and molecular Changes.

Those who use tobacco will be sorry to
hear, say. the Baltimore Gazette, that "a
German physician has discovered that to-
bacco smoking by boys interferrs with
the molecular changes coincident with de-
velopment Of tissues, and makes the blood
corpuscles ovalan irregular at the edge
We do not know what dreadful damage
will be done by any interference with
the molecular changes coinciLenl
with development OF tissues Fits
maybe. Anyhow it must be bad
state of affairs, or it would not require
such number of big words to describe
it. And then bad goes before, bat worse
remains behind. The blood corpusces
become oval, and, moreover, they are ir-
regular at the edge. Dreadful, dreadful
Ifany Of our readers have any old friends
