10 Polly Forty Nine.

Now Polly YOU'RE athoughtless girl,
To mitten thus your beau,
You had a mighty handsome one,
Why did you let him go' ''.'
do not blame poor what's his name,
You used him like dog
II it was me, I'd sip my tea,
With old aunt Polly-Wog.
He might have been like other gents,
Brim full of fun and folly,
But shows lack of common sense.
BY fooling with you; Polly.
Alas he's gone, forever gone,
Your treatment was too rash,
He'll ne or come back to fill his sack,
With Johnny cake and hash.
Don't think your beau i obliged to work,
He wears his Sunday brooches.
And only think, he got his ,hink,
BY selling penny switches.
1 asked him whore he got his stock,
This shocked tho young mans pride,
Said he, II board at Forty-Nine's,
I've laid so much aside.
Doubtless your beau got out of sorts,
1t seems he raised talk
He said the butter down to Forts,
Was strong enough to walk;
He offered once to hire a hand,
Or do anything that's fair,
If you would take it down to Dukes,
And let him cut it q hair
lie claims that he was kind and true,
And never thought of flirting,
Till he saw you make dish of hash.
And put flannel shirt in;
You told him you was out Of beets;
Says he, well, don't want it;
You told him then to quit the house,
And never more to- haunt it.
If that's the way You treat your que sts,
Or beaux, I'm quite afraid,
Your lot is cast, you IL die at last,
A withered up Old Maid.

PolNrING TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
"A recent Washington despatch had
the following significant Intelligence {:
The Safe Burglary Committee to-
day examined Col Whitley, formerly
Chief Of the Secret Service Division of
the Treasury. Whitley testified that
ne put up the job and executed it I'M
der orders from Gen. Babcock, the
Presidents Private Secretary that
after the trial of the consprators he
informed Acting Assistant Attorney
General Riddle, who conducted the
case for the Government, that if he
was guaranteed immunity from fur
ther annoyance he would testify to
this fact that Riddle laid the propo-
sition before the Attorney, General
(Williams) and the following day was
dismissed that upon Riddle demand
ING of Williams the reason of his dis
missal, he simply pointed over his
shoulder with Il significant gesture to
the White House. Mr. Riddle vas
greatly disturbed at the time of his
removal and showed by his manner
that he felt that gross injustice had
been done him, but refused to give
the reasons assigned by the Attorney
General for his summary course, and
they have remained a secret until to-
day.

EDITOR SPIRIT OF TIE AGE In
reply to Mr.. Boyden, | would say
that soon after the organization Of
Banner Grange in the spring of 1874,
it was voted to separate day and to
offer a premium for setting out trees /;
the result being about 25OO trees was
set out. 1t was highly spoken Of at
the time by some of the leading pa
pers of the country, and we learn If
Mr. Otis Chamberlin, their Master,
that at the meeting Of the State
Grange at Montpelier, in Dec. "a. 1t
was there said that Banner Grange
was the first Grange in the State, to
set apart day TO transplant trees.
w c Whipple, our present Master,
tells us that at the last meeting Of the
State Grange at Burlington, much
credit was given Banner Grange on
that account and that he there learned
Of its being spoken Of at the National
Grange, by conv"rslng with many
members we find that it was generally
thought that the credit belonged to
Banner Grange. If, however, we are
in error and have claimed credit which
is not ours by right, We gladly yield
the point and hasten to apologize.
Mr. Boyden is good authority, he hay.
ing much experience in Grange mat
tiers, and no doubt he is right.

Pennsylvania Gas Wells.

The last sensation in the Pennsy lvania
oil regions are the gas wells. The large
ones are located on the southern edge of
the oil deposits-from twenty to forty
miles south of Pittsburg. There are now
three gigantic gas wells-the Burns, the
Modoc and the Delemater. The Modoc
well has been burning at a terrible press
ure for two years, showing no elimination.
The gas of all these wells is rich. 1t con-
tains :; third more carbon than ordinary
gas. 1t burns without smoke, produces Il
fearful heat, and when properly purified
and cleansed, it is Il superior illumination
to the gas used in New York and Philade-
phia The gas companies in Pittsburg are
now clearing" the gas in order to get
possession of the wells.
The natural gas is being used every
where. Mr.. W. l.. Scott and Mr.. b. +.
Tracy Of Erie use 1000 cubic feet daily in
ly | saw them boiling salt with it.
At New Cumberland an old man is max
ing fortune by burning it in smothered
wire frames so rs to produce lampblaek.
Every morning he goes to his several
rooms and shovels out a wagon-load Of
pure lampblack.
Arrangements arc now being made by
gas company to run this into z ittsburg,
If it works there, company will be form
ed to lay pipes at an expense of s. SOC, 900
into New York city
When asked an engineer, to-day, what
he thought of the feasibility of supplying
New York with gas from the gas wells, he
replied
1.-The idea is reasonable. 1t is no Wis
ionary project There is plenty of gas
here to supply New York and Philadcl-
phia, and with natural pressure of 1900
pounds to the square inch, it would al
most push itself through tubes to New
York. The whole theory of making gas
in cities is wrong 1t must be changed.n
GLOW wrong?" | asked
"Why, gas might be made at the near
est bitunnous coal fields, and then be
pumped to New York 1t is five times us
easy to transport the gas to market as it
is to transport coal. Eve put down u
| thousand miles of oil tubing in the oil re-
glons, and pumped millions OF gallons of
oil over mountains, and forty miles to
Pittsburg l know what | am talking
about Gas in Pittsburg is worth sixty
cents 1000 feet, and in New York $2.75.
| can pump the gas from the Delemater
gas we'll to New York for 81 per 1000
feet, and do away with the silly humbug-
gerry of shipping coal there to make gas
with; and, mark what l say, in less than
four years the big gas works in New
York will have nothing to do. The gas
will be made at the coal mines, or taken
from these gas wells, which are wasting
their billions of cubic feet in the air, and
| transported to New York thronoh Dneu-
matte tubes. Eastern engineers do not
know anything about piping or gas oil.
Why, they all told us we couldn't pipe
| oil over three miles with one engine, and
I've got one engine now piping oil
through a 2 - inch pipe, over noun
tains and down rivers twenty miles, and
| it comes out with big pressure, too.
Why, with a six-inch pipe, could pipe
to England"
l am satisfied that the engineer who
has laid 100 miles of pipe lines in the oil
regions, knows what he is talking about

Trouble in High Places.


Especial Despatch (Fcb 81 to the New York He adj
AS the trial day of Gen. Babcock draws
near there is evident here subdued but
increasing excitement, The great number
of convictions in st. Louis, the success of
the Government in indianapolis and Mil
waukce in not only exposing the local
Whiskey Rings but convictng the princi-
pal offenders, and the large interests in
volyed in Chicago, where the Government
has obtained confessions duplicating in
tiuential local politicians of both parties,
have alarmed the meaner kind Of politi-
clans. These mutter that "This thing has
gone about far enough" they fear that
''the party may suffer injury; they talk
about CHER craftsmanship. (which would
not imperil the interests OF the country by
such ruthless exposures and convictions;
they eXclaim cautiously against the rage
of economy and retrehchment. this craze
for REFORM" and talk about people who
seek to become great as reformers and
detectives; they suggest that if these wills
key trials go on they must strike in incon-
venient places; that if they could be stop
ped the American people, who forget
everything so quickly, would forget all
about it before the Cincinnati Convention
meets, and nobody would be hurt With
all this talk there are 9rowls OF vengeance
against the troublesome people whose in
.judicous passion for detecting revenue
frauds have brought so many conspicuous
persons to grief That is to say, there is
II formidable influence here and in St.
Louis in favor Of so managing the remain
ing Whskrv trials that nobody OF any
consequence shall be hurt THIS power is
too strong to be made light Of 1t con-
sists of politicians. some of them promi-
nent and influential men; some OF them,
unfortunately. able to have free access to
the President, and shrewd enough to seek
prejudice his mind and to alarm him by
suggestions that the party may be fatally
hurt and that the rigid and straightforward
prosecution OF the whsl1ey thieves, with
out regard to their standing in society or
Their political influence, may in the end
help the Democrats to :; victory in the
Presidential election. There is, as vet, no
reason, so far as can be ascertaned, to
believe that such suggestions influence the
President. lie still says, ''Let no guilty
man escape" But it is known that efforts
are making to put prosecutions in some
places in the hands of weak or incompetent
men and in other lnconspicuous ways to
cripple the attack and secure immunity to
influential men. The Cry of persecution
IS raised in favor of such persons. and it |
is said that there is no sense in dragging
everybody down.

The annual report of the directors Of
the Eastern Railroad makes 4 pretty tree
exhibit OF the bad management which has
brought the company to its present untor-
tunate condition. The speculative and
grasplng spirit which controlled it led it
into ventures that have nearly all proved
disastrous and left the road in a bankrupt
condition. The annual interest of the pres
ent debt OF the road ut seven per cent. is
about 81 600 900, a sum which it cannot
possibly pay, and probably never will at
tcmpt to pay.
