MUSHROOM TOWNS.

1t would be hard for stranger to find
spots whereon some of the most fourishing
of the Pennsylvania oil towns once stood.
Scarcely trace is left of Petroleum Centre,
which ten years ago had population of
1000, with banks big hotels, machine
shops, stores and churches Pithole City is
nearly gone. When G. B. Duncan, who
died in Glasgow years ago, made his will,
he left to church of Pithole $25, 900.
During the litigation that followed COM
mittee was sent to find the church. They
returned and said that no such building was
to be found. The fact was that when Mr..
Duncan was in Pithole the church was in a
fourishing condition, but both congrega-
ton and house had disappeared before he
made bis will.

SOME CHINESE REMEDIES.

The witches in Macbeth" seem to have
hand in making up Chinese pharmaco-
peia, and account of which comes over
from the Paris Exhibition. Among the
most highly reputed drugs and medicines
which the Celestials have taken to Paris,
are variety of exceptional medical curiosi-
ties. The larvae of grasshoppers, for in
stance, dried and roasted, are prescribed
for headaches; dried fowls gizzards for
indigestion; the inside of stag's horn for
rheumatism and bronchitis; glutinous de-
coction of donkey's skin is labeled as hav-
ing great reputation, being taken in cases
of pulmonary diseases; while powder pre-
pared from the skin of the elephant is
recommended for rheumatic pains. One of
the stimulants, according to the London
Globe, is tincture of scorpions, and for
tonic purposes, the best, though very
costly medicine, is the gelatinous decoction
of tigers bones. For general antidote, IL
many cases the bears gall is much admired.
The gem of the whole collection, however,
is curious enough. A number of live toads
are imprisoned in jar half filed with -four,
and when the -four is moistened with the
saliva which these creatures emit, it is dried
and kept as powder. The special use to
which this preparation is put is to take it as
snuff to produce sneezing, and in that way
it is regarded as invaluable in restoring per-
sons suffering from fainting fits, convulsions
or Mysteries

only forward $12S 13 or $256 25, and
would leave the account in their hands
to handle, they would guarantee large
profit, and ifit did not result they would
refund the money.
There were other inducements held
out, but altogether, it will be seen by the
following letter in reply, they didn't quite
capture the Boston merchant:
Lewis R. Baker & Co.. Commission Merchants and
Brokers, Chicago. ILL.,:
GENTLEMEN--Your of the 10th ut hand. you
are so pC sitive of making fat thing on the wheat
corner, it strikes that it would be more sensi-
bic for you to put in your own money, ana so reap
the entire benefit, rather than give stranger the
opportunity TO sweep the beard and you only to
make paltry commission. Now, if you are really
in earn st, then would suggest that you place to
my credit either one of the amounts named in
yours us above noted. Handle the same as best
suits you, and to convince you there is nothing
mean about me, you need remit but fifty per cent.
OF the profit, which think is fuir divide.
Respectfully, -.
The papers and mails are filled with
inducements to invest in these gambling
contracts, and they catch great many
gudgeons, mostly amongst those, however,
who have the handling of trust funds,
and "ninety-nine' out of every one hun
dred decoyed into a put or straddle,

may fall on him or the depths of ocean

Is it strange that he courted death?
WHO HATH WOE? NEEO HATH
SORROW?

1t has been claimed for these many
years that the use of alcoholic drinks is
the cause of most of the crimes commit
ted and Of the social misery that exists
in Christendom. Statistics loom up
formidably in this direction, but those
good scientists who figure out social and
criminal results from existing causes
overlook new element that is working
great .demoralization amongst business
men. Cocktails, punches, hots with
lemon, and the old-fashion stone-fence,
are mild demoralizers of the business
portion Of the community, when com
pared with "Puts," "Calls" and "Strad-
dies" These mystic words are uninteIli-
gible to the masses, but of sad import to
thousands who have been beguiled into
investing their own or other peoples
money in putting, calling or straddling
in the technical sense in which New
York or Chicago broker uses these terms.
The inducement is always fearfully great.
The certainty of "realizing" admits of
no question. As an example, aChicago
commission house recently wrote to a
Boston merchant, informing him that if
he would send them an order for "Strad-
>d die" on January or February wheat on
$500 or 5000 bushels, for which he need

and the years went by; old facquaintances
had forgotten him, and the great stream
had gone on, leaving him behind in the
little'eddy, where his 'weury, menotonous
hours circled away on the front platform of
the car. He told Inc he had to get up long
before day, aid nevergot 10 bed before
midnight, so that it had been months since
he saw his poor wife's face, except by can
delight. D
His compensation, two dollars day, was
barely adequate to purchase the actual ne
cessities of life, and pay the doctor and
druggist bills, that came due with unvarying
regularity; for his wife was great sufferer.
And Mary Lindsay orne, the beautiful
adopted girl was at once nurse, cook, COM
panion and adviser combined.

not forget the stalwart stranger who had SO
boldly and Unexpectedly taken his part, and
insisted on visiting the station where he.
was confined.
I accompanied him, and we got into the
police Justices court while the preliminary
hearing was going on.
Mr.. Skinner had torn clothes and a
skinned face; and the two tipsy young men,
on whom he had caromed, looked very
bedraggled and red-eyed.
The prisoner began his own defense, as
we entered and told his story exactly as it
occurred, closing with the remark, as he
pointed his finger at Skinner:
''You assaulted that innocent old man,
like the coward you have shown yourself to
be; and, had he been any acquaintance or
kinsman of mine, I would spend thousand
dollars gladly for the privilege of fogging
you as you SO richly deserve"
There can be no doubt that the stranger
meant this; but, while he was talking, was
struck with the extraordinary conduct of
Simon Lindsay.
The old man had his eyes fixed on the
prisoner. His face was ashy pale, and he
stepped timidly nearer and nearer, till at
length he stood before the dock. Then the
stranger stopped and the eyes of everybody
in court were fastened on the two men, who
were looking at each other with visible emo
ton.
After bit, the old man reached out his
hands, and whispered, with trembling &C.
cents:
''Robert--my boy !"
''Father!" shouted the stranger; and,
forgetting his situation, he leaped the dock
railing, and caught the old man in his
arms
So holding him. he turned with burning
eyes on Skinner; but that official bully and
the two tipsy young men got out of that
temple of Justice like men who see torch
in a powder mill.

Mr. Skinner saw fit to beg the old mans
pardon in a very humble way, the cause of

New YEARS morning a hole was dis
covered in the ice at Baltimore, and be-
side the orifcc reposed hat. In addi-
ton to some soiled handkerchiefs and a
diminutiye American flag there were
found in the hat papers which left no
doubt that the former owner of that an
cient tile had disappeared through the
hole in the ice in search of some country
where they would use him better. Upon
several of these papers were recorded
philosophical thoughts, from which it
was inferred that the suicide was dis
appointed lecturer or an escaped profes-
sor from some college. Among the sage
reflections thus written were the follow
ing, which are as remarkable for their
pith as their brevity: ''Drink is general
1y the cause Of all trouble, and young
marriages generally turn out to be a
curse. Swear off drinking whisky and
drink water, it is cheaper" IT was not
this mans philosophy that killed him,
however. Poetry had spread her entic-
ing nets in his pathway, and poetry
wooed him on to his destruction. In his
sadness he wrote verses, which when he
read he was sadder yet than before. At last
he grasped his lead pencil in desperation:
dashed off the following lines, and van.
ished through the hole in the ice; GAS
can not die on whisky I'll die Of water

Hon. MORTON MCNIICHAEL, publisher
of the Philadelphia North American, one
Of the oldest journals in America, died
in the city with which his name has so
long been associated yesterday evening,
in the seventy-second year of his age.
Mr.. McMichael was native of BurIing-
ton, n. j., but was educated at the Uni
vcrsity of Pennsylvania, and admitted to
the Bar in Philadelphia some fifty years
ago. He soon entered the political arena,
in which he has ever since been an active
combatant. He became one Of the pro-
prietors of the North American about
forty years since, and from 1866 to 1869
he was Mayor of Philadelphia. His
acquaintance with the prominent people
Of this and the last generation was very
extensive, and in his death Philadelphia
loses one of her most enterprising citi-
Eens and the country one of its repre-
sentative men.
