A MAN who looked as dilspidated as
the last rose OF Summer went into n
Main-strcet saloon this forenoon, and
with confidence in human nature and
himself depicted in his every movement,
struttcd TO the bar and told the barkeeper
to trot out some Of his best whisky. The
barkeeper obeyed the older with alacrity.
Millionaifes in rags are sometimes to be
found in n mining country and the man
Of bottles ana glasses had learned by ex-
perience never to despise man because
he wears ragged coat. The stranger
poured out and swallowed glass of that
best whiskey. Then he went down into
his pocket for a quarter, as the barkeeper
and bystanders supposed but he didn't
bring up any quarter, but only piece OF
a pocket handkerchief that looked rs il it
had spent years in the coal-bin at one OF
the Eureka smelling furnaces. Wiping
his mouth and eyes with the rag, he drew
"a deep sigh and said to the barkeeper
'IIuve you heard about this terrible war
in Europe ?" ooh, that's too thin," re-
piled the barkcoper "hund out quarter
for that whisky, you old stiff" "Pa-
tience, patience, my friend, )" returned the
"old stiff" "can you tell me why | am
like the barbarian Turk when he gets a
Russian soldier in his power ?" "No, |
can IT," he snapped. "Well, Ill tell you.
It's because | show no quarter" The
barkeeper reached under the bar for his
trusty six shooter but ere he could
bring it to bear, the man who showed no
quarter had vanished like the baseless

THE STORY OF MURDERER-A DRAMATIC
AND TOUCHING CleUeldnd, March
27.-A dispatch from Youngstown, Ohio,
says Charles NJ. Stirling, who was to have
been hung tomorrow for the murder, two
years ago, of young German girl named
Lizzie Grumbackcr, was yesterday rcSpited
by Governor Young till the 2lst Of April
next. The mystery which has surrounded
the accused was to-day intensified by par
ties who claim to be his mother and brother
(rom Maxwell, Ont.,) arriving in time and
visiting him in Jail. He has since his second
trial commenced claimed that his parents
resided there, and gave the names Of different
members of the family, and to-day, when
his supposed mother was taken into his
presence, she rushed forward to embrace
him, when he coolly drew back, saying she
was not his mother; he never knew her,
and had never seen her; that he had never
been in Maxwell; that his name was not
Charles N. Stirling, and that he had in
vented the story he has told so often; that
he was once intimate with the real Charles
NJ. Stirling, and has assumed his name.
Mrs. Stirling is positive this is her son,
though he left home seven years ago. The
mother tried. to mention incidents that
would make him remember her, and be-
sought him not to add this to the crime Of
which he was accused, and with tears and
sobs implored one look Of recognition, but
all to no purpose. .. -a

EuuiuOcfial Storms.

lFrom the New York Times, 27th.I
The whole subject is plain and simple,
and offers no difficulty whatever to man
who is capable OF reasoning and is devoid
of prejudices. There arc two equinoXes,
one in the fall and another in the spring.
This much is conceded by all intelligent
persons. There is always q severe storm
after every equinox; and this proposition
is as undeniablc as the preceding one. 1t is
true that the storm is sometimes delayed,
and in rare instances does not reach us
until two, three, or even five months after
an equinox, but it never fails TO appear,
sooner or later. Now, to deny that the equi-
roX is the cause OF the invariable storm
which follows it is to deny that there is any
such thing as cause and effect. We might
rs we'll deny the succession OF the seasons,
and allege that top-time follows kite-time
only by accident, and not in accordance
with natural law. And yet, in the face OF
this demonstration the scientific persons,
out Of petty desire to be revenged on those
who have twitted them about the pretended
procession OF the equinoXes, impudently
tell us that there are no equinoctial storms.
Yesterdays storm was the equinoctial
storm, and that precious truth cannot be
undermined or shaken in the minds OF
honest and devout men, no matter how
boldly the Sclentlhc skeptlc may deny IL.
Science should keep within its own pro-
vince and refrain from meddling with our
time-honored beliefs. The confirmed astron-
omer who now shamelesSly denies the eX-
istence Of equinoctial storms was once an
innocent and happy child, and learned at
his own mothers knee, and by the help Of
her faithful slipper, to love truth and shun
falsehood. Let him recall that blessed Pc
riod, and remember that in attacking our
faith in equinoctial storms he is striking at
one OF the most cherished beliefs of his pri-
rate and presumably sainted mother.

The United States is cnlightening the
world with something besides Liberty, and
millions OF dwellings in other lands are now
made brilliant with the pleasing blaze Of
her benefcent petroleum. The extent to
which the United States confers this oil on
the world at large, however, great as it now
is, is nothing compared with what it is
likely to be after the Kentucky oil-tields arc
developed. Attention is now turning in
that direction. The oil-felds are in the
Cumberland Valley in MARYLAND, Pulaski,
Lincoln, Wayne, Casey, Russell, Adair,
Metcalfe, Barren, Monroe, Cumberland,
and Clinton counties, and are very rich and
can be worked proftably. A company has
been formed in New York and Boston to
develop part OF them, and thousand farms
have been leased for this purpose in the
valley within six months. The Louisville
Courier-Journul appears to believe that
Kentucky will control the petroleum trade
in eighteen months from this time.

DEATH AT THE ROCKETS LIME-KILN.-
Coroner Taylor yesterday afternoon held an
inquest at the City Morgue upon the body
OF an unknown negro man, aged about
fifty-fve years, with gray hair, black whis-
kers and moustache, who was found yester-
day morning lying dead near the edge OF
Mr.. A. S. Lees lime-kiln, corner OF Pear
and Cary streets-the mortal resting-place
of many other victims. The man was
dressed in a dilapidated suit OF clothes,
pinned together with nails. The watch
man at the kiln had ordered him off during
the night, but be did not go away, and said
he merely wanted to warm, and expected
to get work the next day. He laid down
and went to sleep, and died from the effects
of carbonic acid gas given off by the burn
ing lime. The jury found that the man
died from the effects OF the exhalations
from the kiln, and recommended that the
owner be required to enclose the place.
The body will be kept reasonable time at
the Morgue for identification.
