A Man Who Never Told q Lie.

Yesterday afternoon an old oil man
with crude petroleum dripping from his
clothes and legs encased in thigh boots,
entered the Derrick Office and asked:

heard tell on. struck an lie we'll on
my lease Monday, an she flowed stream
of lie 100 feet high straight up for half
an hour Then she kinder died down,
ceased working. One Of my drillers was
standing over the hole, when she sudden
ly spurted agin, and, blast my eyes, if it
didn't take that driller right up with it..
The stream was powerful. one, you see,
an he went up 100 feet. You've seen
those little balls as dance about on top of
those little squirting fountains, such as
they have in the cities? Yes; wa'al that's
the way this ere thing acted, an there's
that. air driller right up on top of that
hundred fut column of crude lie, an he's
dancin' about like chaff in a tanning
mill. What do you think of that un?''
How long has he been up thereT'
about four days and four nights"
He must bevery hungry by this time.
Doesn't he come down to get something to
eat?''
"Why, we 'uns just put plate of hash
in this ere stream Of lie, and it takes il up
to him, you see. An its mighty handy,
as he finds his victuals already CREASED,
and he doesn't need any butter.'
But he must have frozen to death be-
fore this time.''- ~ f.3 1s
Why, man, we've sent him up on the
same stream bed and bedding, a small
stove and wood, an we're going to build
him small house, an then he can live
up there as comfortable as Prince
His face was as innocent of deceit as a
piece Of tanned leather, and when he
asked to have his name put down as a
dead head subscriber for the information
he had given, we didn't have the heart to
hurt his feelings by refusing oil City

John Mccullough was once playing the
part of the Prince Of Morocco in the
/" Merchant OF Venice" at the old Metro
politan Theater, when the boys put up 9
job on him. You know they put three
caskets on table, one of which the
Prince opens. Some wag got the caskets
from the property man and fixed jack
in 1.-The box inside, so that when the lid was
opened the jack would fly up. John
walked up, bent over the box, and turned
the key, when up flew one of those elon.

hit John on the nose. You never saw
such an astonished man since Balaam's g

conversational debate, and, Of course, the
whole effect of the scene was lost amid
the roar Of the audience As soon as Nc
Cullough got behind The scenes he sus-
pected poor Jack Billings, who had no
hand in the trick, and blackened an ey

When Little Mac,s the minstrel, first
came to Frisco he was totally unknown,

Since187f the population of German

Since 1871 the population of Germany
has increased by /, 1,693,762; Norway has
increased about $4,000 since 1875; Great
Britain, 352, 900 since 1875, and Portugal
378. .8S1 since 1871; but it must be under
stood that in the case of Portugal this APP
parent increase Is due chiefly to rectifica-
tions made in former estimates of her
population. The population of the whole
of the Turkish Empire is Al, ,66e, 600; that
of the whole Russian Empire is SO, $780,
600. The population of China is 405. .0O0,-
600, and Of Japan, 33, 299, OLA. With re-
gard to America, the population of Mex
leo is placed at 9,276, ,079, o. larger num-
Der than we have before seen credited to
that country. Central America, 2,s2S,-
1854; the West Indies. 4.316, ,178; Brazil,
II 900, 900, and all the rest of South
America, $500, 700.
We have now before us the latest edi-
tion of very excellent geography Tor the
use of schools, published in this city, in
which there are said to be only three cities
in the world containing each one, or more
than one, million of inhabitants, to-wit:
London, Paris and Constantinople. But
in fact there are nine, exclusive of New
York-London, with 3,4S9, ,428; Paris,
l ,S51 1872; Constantinople, l, ,075, 900; Ber-
lin. /, 1,O45, 900; Canton, 900 900; Vienna,
,001 ,999; Seangtan, Shanchowfu and
Singanfu, in China, !, 900, 600 each. There
are also in the world twenty nine towns
whose population is 500, 900 or more; and
215 which contain 100000 or more peo-.
pie. The total population of the world is
placed in the geography to which we re-
| fer at 1851, 196, ,351, and the area of its
land surface at So ,204. .S48 square miles;
but in point of fact the population is
,423, ,917 900, and the area 81, $40, 800
square miles-thus showing trifling er-
ror in population of SO, 720,649, and in

Mark Twain says that the charge of
Capt. Duncan that he could not tell the
difference between the tea aid coffee On
board the Quaker City causes him little
remorse; and then. on the ground, we
suppose, that open confession Is good for
the soul, proceeds to ask why the Captain
does not allude to his (dr. Twain's) more
notorious crimes, the highway robbery
for instance committed by him between
Jerusalem and the Dead Sea, his murder
of a cripple, whose gait displeased him,
in Cairo, his skinning leper in Smyrna
to obtain curiosity for his museum, or
his habitual and fragrant intoxication.
He ends his confession with profession

Something to Do.

1t is an old trick of despots, and good
one, to employ their subjects. Why ?
To keep them out of mischief. Employed
men are most contented. There is no con-

proceed to concoct iniquity so long as
there is plenty of pleasant and profitable

most wealthy work the hardest. They al

abandon business, would be ruined, not
pecuniarily but mentally-their lives
would be shortened. God never intended
mans mind should become dormant. It
Is governed by fixed laws. Those laws
