The Oil Interest.

MT. Thompson (Rep., Pal, speaking in the United States House in support of bill to protect shippers, said that last season 13, 3,OOO,OO barrels of oil pro- duced in Pennsylvania had been shipped to the seaboard. The established rate of transportation was $1.5O per barrel, which should have given to the railroad companies SIS, ,5OO,OOO. But instead of that these companies had actually re- ceived only $5,OOO, ,OOO, the other $13,- 500, ,000 having gone into the pockets oi an interruptions ring. The bill pro. posed to abolish that system. Although fifteen years ago coal oil had been un- known to commerce it now stood second on the list of exports, cotton being first
 it brought back more gold to this coun' try than all the wheat, flour, bacon, beef
 lard, lumber, tobacco, or any other arti
 cle exported. This and every interest of the country was being crushed by the unjust discrimination of the railroad companies. The bill was in the interest
 of these companies themselves they should be prevented from committing suicide. ..t

A Recent Raid into Texas.

Representative Schleicher, of Texas, has received from a responsible citizen of Corpus Christi letter in relation to the recent outrages by Mexicans in that State, of which the following is an ex- trnct Ere this you have heard of the terrible outrages and murders com mitted by Mexicans in Indian garb in Webb, Duvall and surrounding counties. Now as you know me to be just to all, and that 1 have lived in the counties of San Patricio, Live Oak and Neuces for thirty years, and have been through all the troubles of the frontier, you know that I will say what Is true. To com mence have never seen suca whole sale slaughter. They took little boys from seven to twelve years old, and two men on horseback would hold them up by their hanGs, while third would take out their entrails. The men they would shoot aud then take out their entrails. This was seen by women and men who were hidden in the bush, and we found their bodies. The killed amounted to about seventy five men and fifteen chil- dren from seven to fourteen years of age. This raid was made to secure horses for the Mexican Army, and am told by good authority that all the raiders re- ceive is the money they can get with other valuables, and $1 head for all the horses they can take safely over the Rio Grande. think they must have crossed over the river with about 500 or 600 head of saddle-horses. There were about forty-fve raiders-about tweHty-six in the party that did the most of the killing, about ten in the one that was below San Diego, and eight or ten in the one that crossed about Eagle Pass. When I say 500 or 600 hundred head of horses, mean the number that was taken by the party that did the most of the killing. The party that crossed the Rio Grande below Rio Grande City had about 15C head of horses. I do not know how many horses they crossed about Eagle Pass"

Relics of a Disaster.

Recently the unclaimed relics of that dreadful carnage, the Ashtabula disaster,
 were sold at auction. The articles were of little value in themselves, consisting mainly of bits of lewelry, charred books, photographs, lettere, keys, and pieces of wearing apparel, scorched by the fire or ruined in the river. Nevertheless, Q
 melancholy interest surrounded these relics. which were displayed in the auc- tion room at Ashtabula for the examine tion of purchasers. During the progress of the sale young lady present sudden 'ly recognized burned watch in the hands of the auctioneer as having be- longed to her father, who was one of the victims of the disaster. Her outburst of grief was as natural as it was touch ing. Her father had been hotel landlord at ABhtabula. and was on the wrecked train but nothing belonging watch was identified, it having in some way been overlooked in the search which had been made. Another lady recog, nized peculiar stocking, which she herself had adapted to the lame foot of her brother. There were in all about eight hundred pieces of wearing apparel many of whichIwere.but little more than rags. The proceeds of the sale amount. ed to only forty-two dollars. Thus drops the curtain on tho last act of tue Ashta- bula tragedy. An exchange remarks
 In old times mariners preserved from the perils of shipwreck hung up the dripping garments in which they were saved as votive offerings in the Temple of Venus. Perhaps it might not have been amiss if these relics had been pre-
 served in the different depots of the Lake Shore Railway, as constant aud touch
 ing sermon to conductors and to al others holding mems lives in their hands

A Western Feat.

Western papers record the act of one Doc. Cooper,a well known cattle king of Northern Texas, who resides four miles from Fort Richardson, no miles from Sherman. He gathered herd of cattle for the Kansas market. On the day be- fore starting his herders were camped about two miles from Fort Richardson, when lot of Indians stampeded the drove and run them of. Cooper and two others followed and found the h. dians, nearly 1,OO0in number, encamped on the Fort Sill reservation, with his cattle: Watching the opportunity, they picked out choice drove ot the Indian ponies, and stampeding them, drove them off on the run. Seven companies of colored cavalry started in pursuit, but the drovers succeeded in escaping, and did not abandon their drove until within fifteen miles of Fort Richardson, when they were forced to do this. All three of the men have been arrested, but as their feat is considered unequalled for bravery they will no doubt be let off with light punishment.

A Queens View.

M. Martin Dadaud eulogized Queen Victoria in the French Assembly, and in the course of his speech remarked !: It will be permitted me to say, me, an old republican, who cannot be suspicioned of royalism, that after being mounted upon her throne, she has rendered an- other service, and it would be we'll that that service might be rendered to France by our French women of the higher classes. Mother of a family of nine chil- dren, she has suckled the whole nine of them Tremendous laughter on the Right. Applause on the Left.) Hold on! Yes, she has suckled all nine of them I have only word more to say. When she knows that there are noble ladies who abandon their infants to nurses, she will not receive them at court That grand and sublime example bears it's fruits. Mothers and children find them selves the better for it, and it would be better that we forget less in France these maternal and humane precepts. 7"

The Cutlery Manufacture.

English table cutlery is virtually driven out of the American market, our own manufactures being fully able to compete with foreign goods ill this class both in quality and price. It is only a few years since table cutlery was not thought good unless it bore the English manufacturers trade make. A core spondent asked a manufacturer why it was that while we excelled England in cuttlery, we could not in razors. The reply was: "Now there is chance for somebody to sit down and invent some machinery to enable us to overcome the hand-grinding of England. There is no machinery with winch razor can be
 ground'fne enough, and England'sc cap labor enables her to waste great deal of time and labor upon razors. Should we go to work and do as she does-we understand how to make razor just as we'll as England-we would have to pay a great deal for the manual labor that must be bestowed upon 1t. She gets that labor cheap, while we must pay high for 1t, and so we can not compete with her in razors. Wherever in our line the question of machinery comes in we beat her when we come back to manual labor the high prices we pay our people at once discouraged us. l tell you, sir, this question of labor must be settled if the industries of the coun. try are at all to have fair show in the markets of the world. But, then, as ] said before, some one will soon invent 6 labor-saving machine for this grinding of razers, and then Sheffield will get an. other blow" s-t...... f.. .-,... ... ..v.,,.rI.

At g o'clock troops of police marched out in every direction and invaded the bad houses in the city of Hamilton.
 Another batch comes in. A woman car rying little infant is among them. The mother is only nineteen the child is just learning to talk the mother weeps bitterly, the child crows and elaps it's little hands as if the bowling mob about it had been got up for it's especial bene- fit. It lifted @ pair of hand-cuffs from the table and jingled them near its mothers ear and laughed aloud in excess of joy. "Oh, God" cried the young mother. "Let my baby go: Send some good woman for it. Oh, I can never take my baby to cell. It is innocent. I am wicked. The child is fit for heaven. It has never sinned. Oh, let it not be taint. ed with cell. " She held 1t up before all present, her hair falling over hel shoulders, and her hot, wild face quiv' ering with agony. She held it high up, the little growing, chirruping thing. II jingled the hand-cuffs and laughed. A hush fell on that place as if an angels presence was there. A brazen-faced girl in silks and satins came sweeping for
 ward to take the child, but the mother snapped at her like brutish animal and pushed her back. Oh, mo-" she hissed
 "Oh, no, no, no, not you, not you !! Chi ief McMenemy knows how to do his duty as we'll as any man, but he saw this was an extraordinary case and sent the baby home. The mother went into hel cell holding her heart. She came rush
 ing back and kissed her baby, and whis
 pered in its ear, " It were better for yor my child, that you never saw me again. The child was carried away, crying be cause they took the handcuffs from it.

Cannot Become Citizens.

A San Francisco paper publishes a decision recently rendered by the United States Circuit Court denying the right of Chinese immigrant who had applied for citizenship to the privilege of natu- ralization. This decision will surprise no intelligent lawyer, adds the New York Herald, the only surprise is that such an application should have been made.
 The question could not have been brought before court at all had it not been for an oversight in the Revised Statutes. The original Naturalization law confined the privilege to free white aliens. In 1870 it was so amended as to admit persons of African birth and Afri- can descent, but it was left in other re- spects unchanged, men of color besides Africans being still excluded. When this change was made MT. Sumner pro- posed to strike out the word "white !" from the Naturalization laws. It was objected that this would bring ill the Mongolians as we'll as the negroes, and on this ground MT. Summers proposition was rejected. The only change made in the former law was to except Africans from the general rule by which colored aliens were excluded. But the revisers of the statutes fell into the blunder of emitting the words, "being 8 tree white person" Itwas blunder, because they had no authority to change the law, but only to put it into a more convenient shape. The omission of that phrase would make the Naturalization laws ap- ply to Mongolians and all colored aliens; but Congress afterward corrected the oversight of the reyisers. By an act passed in 1875 to correct errors and supply omissions" in the Revised Sta tutes the omitted words were restored, with the avowed purpose of excluding Asiatics from naturalization. An appeal from the opinion would be futile, the law being too clear to admit of any req sonable difference of opinion.

Alderney COW, or the grade with as much of this blood as may be.
 Now as to the value of superb arti
 ole of butter, that aae aalus ultra of the churn, it is always worth all that the market will command. It can scarcely be estimated at its real value in dollars and cents l.; it is the product of the high est agricultural art; it is the perfection and sum total of all excellence. This result can only be reached by the seleo- tion of the finest and fittest breed of COW, by kind care, generous and judi cious feeding, perfect manipulation of the milk, the cream and the butter, by positive cleanliness and by proper mar
 ketlng. Perfect butter comes only from perfect management. I shall be most happy to contribute something towards a consummation so desirable, and know of no way better than that of association on similar plan of cheese factories by which skilled experts can bring perfec- tion of management with all the details essential to the production of a perfect article of butter. On this plan alone can 1000, 100000 pounds of the best butter be made, adding to the wealth of the country $2OO, 100000 annually. l am not too sanguine {! s..G... s ."

BE CAREFUL OF YOUR CoMPANY.- Dick Rice was travelling westward, through Nevada, and being generous, he gave room in his wagon for two men whom he overlook. The three men camped together that night. On the following morning one of the strangers went to the settlement, quarrelled with some miners and killed one of them. A mob chased him back to the camp, where R,ce joined, in, his defense. The mob then hanged them all, in spite of Rice's protest that he knew nothing of his com panions.

WHEN WE WERE CHILDREN.

-. ? Have you forgotten, little wife, Our far-off childhood's golden life? Our splendid castles on the sands, The boat I made with my own hands, The rain that caught us in the wood, The cakes we had when we were goed, The doll broke and made you cry, When we were children, you and I? Have you forgotten, little wife, The dawning of that other life? The strange new life the whole world wore, When life loves perfect blossom bore! The dreams we had the songs we made The sunshine! and the woven shade The tears of many sad goodbye, When we were parted, you and 1 An, nay your loving heart, I know, Remembers still the long ago; It is the light of childhood's days That shines through all your winning ways. God grant we ne'er forget our youth, a. Its innocence, and faith, and truth, The smiles, the tears, and hopes gone by, When we were children, you and I.
