THE LEGISLATURE.

Little was done by the Legislature
last week. After the election of the Off
GERS of both houses, and they were regu-
larry organized, the Governors message
was read to both houses in joint conven-
ton. Thursday few bill, memorials
and resolutions were introduced, and the
Senate committees were announced. On
Friday, after a short session, the House
and Senate adjourned until Monday at
three o'clock, p. m. The election of
State Printer is about the only work
they will accomplish this week.

The New York Nation has again
changed front on the Presidential ques-
ton. This time the articles will not be
quoted by Democratic papers. The Ma
ton says:
In fact, there is only.one course open
to US in the matter, and that is to let the
States manage their own election, and
cacept the result as they give it. We
cannot make state Governments better
than the population OF the State want to
have them.
The artical concludes with:
1t scenes to US that the only sound
course now is to stop quibbling and
chopping logic, to accept the Southern
figures, however bedeviled, and inaugu-
rate Hayes in the interest of peace and
quiet, and for the better preservation of
constitutional form Of overnment. Any
other course ia Mexican.

Strange Phenomenon in a Well.

Situated about fourteen miles, southwest
of Clintonville, Venango county, is well
which, for volume of production, surpasses
anything yet discovered in that country.
The well wPs completed upwards of month
ago. No oil was found, but au immense
gas vein was encountered at the place where
oil was expected, Before abandoning the
well owners resolved to draw out the casing
This was attempted in the usual way, but
the casing stuck about foot above its for
mer resting place. As it was elevated to its
present position, the fresh water from the
upper part of the hole rushed into the well
at the bottom of the casing in great quantity
As it did so, the gas raised it to the surface
of the earth after sending it forty feet above
the top of the derrick. There it continues to
gush, and may for all time. 1t is estimated
that at least 10000 barrels Of water are
thrown out daily. 1t is truly remarkable

leaving marked and decided vacancy. He
gets on a street car, holds the hand 50 that
the ring must be seen, and pretty soon a
man bent forward and remarks.
Excuse me,sr, but you have lost the set

around the floor.
Every passenger began to peer around and
the man who made the discovery finally
asks
"Was it valuable set ?'

the calm reply.
There is another moment on the part of
the passengers. Some look along the seat,
some under it, and some made dive for
pearl buttons and other small objects
"When did you miss it?" asks the first
man as the search weakeus little.

Then every passenger straightens up, every
eye looks into vacancy, and not the faintest

He had forced open the drawer, taken out
the money and was looking gloatingly at the
crisp green bills, when I stole behind him.

when he glanced around.
My God 1t was Clarence Davarges.
Hang it now suppose I'll have to kill

uttering a faint cry I sank down. Just
then Jack, my own dear Jack rushed in. /

all was dark.
For the first time in my life tainted

Aren't you hurt Jackp
Not a bit, dearest. Davarges is disabled
though, with a pistol wound in his leg.
Tisn't very severe, but it will prevent his
escape.
But how came you there?

What does he want If he's comes court
ing why don't he go in instead of peeping
in at the Window
l rather thought he was scamp, because
when was in the city yesterday the chief
of police told me that they had reason to
think that noted gambler and 'blackleg
had come up in these parts He gave de-
scription, and it suited Davarges perfectly,
all excepting a mustache And, by-the-
way Nell, that silky mustache you so admir-
ed, was false and fell off in our scuffle!

when you opened the door and looked out.
After you had been in bed about an hour,
Davarges forced open the sitting-room win

Indian Summer of Life.

In the life of the good man there is au
Indian summer, more beautiful than that of
the seasons richer, SUMMER, more sublime
than the most glorious Indian summer the
world ever knew-it is the Indian summer
of the soul. When the glow of youth has
departed when the warmth of middle age
is gone, and the buds and blossoms of spring
are changing to the sere and yellow leaf !;
when the mind of the good man still vigo-
rous, relaxes its labors and the memory of a
well spent life gushes forth from fountains,
enriching, rejoicing, fertiizing then the
trusttul resignation of the Christian sheds
around a sweet and holy warmth, and the
soul assuming heavenly lustre, is no long
er restricted to the narrow confines of bust
ness, but scars far beyond the winter of
hoary age, and dwells peacefully and hap
PLY upon the bright spring and summer
which await bim within the gates of Para
disc evermore. Let us strive and look trust
ingy forward to an Indian summer like
this.

The Death Penalty.
HOW A YOUNG GIRL INFLICTED 1T on HER
ASSAILANT.

A special from Columbia, South Carolina,
is as follows:
The monotony of the state trials was
broken to day by a hearing on application
fdf writ of habeas corpus in the case of a
young girl, sixteen years of age who was
committed to Jail. The case is peculiar one
and has created decided sensation in this
section. The circumstances are as follows,
in brief The young girl, Miss Salie Wood,
returned to her home about twenty miles
from Columbia, aud there found a neighbor,
Samuel Henry, awaiting her arrival. She
invited him into the house, which they en-.
tered together, when Henry quickly seized
her, violently attempting an assault.
"The girl, however, succeeded in freeing
herself from his grasp, and obtaining pistol
from the next room, returned Immediately
and fired upon her assailant with such dead
ly effect as to kill him instantly, the ball
penetrating his breast. Henry was married
man and the father of three chiden. The
families of both parties are respectable, well
to do country people, and have been init.
mate for years. The young girl accompa-
MED by her brother-in-law, came to Colum-
bia and surrendered herselfto the officers of
the law, going quietly to Jail, from which
she was released few hours later on con-
sent, an order being entered requiring ST.
900 bail, which was quickly found. She
may be subjected to the inconvenience of a
trial, but has been acquitted already by the
powerful verdict of popular opinion.

that, although she had been successful as an
actress through the West, she failed to get an
engagement, and to support herself and chill
dren went on the variety stage, singing in
indianapolis until she contracted fever and
ague. She then came to Pittsburg, but found
no friends and was sent to the poor-farm.

THE SPRING BIRD.

Dear little blue bird,
Herald OF spring;
Swallow this cough drop
Poor little thing;
Warbling so hoarsely
or April's approach;
Hunting around for a
Bronchial troche.
Poor little blue bird,
Don't you go off
Tie up your little neck,
Doctor that cough.
Soon April violets,
Killed by the breeze,
VIII shiver and vince as they
List to your sneeze.
Don't be discouraged yet,
Herald OF spring.
Shake all the iclcles
From off your wing.
Who knows what wonders
Cough cure may do;
Sing, little blue bird
