The Boston IlaUeller makes the follow
ing cheerful predictions The conditions
are favorable to Il hearty and honest reun-
ion of the too long divided wings of the
Republican party. The administration
has successfully asserted it's strength,
while Mr.. Conklings friends, it should
be remembered, have made their stand
strictly within the party lines, have ac-
cepted no alliance with it's enemies, and
are entitled therefor, to the respect due
to loyal Republicans who have manfully
asserted their preferences for man not
unworthy Of their devotion, and have at
last loyalty yielded them to the will Of
the majority. AS to Mr.. Conkling, per-
Sonally, the tongue of detraction and Vi
tuperation should now be silent. He
committed q serious mistake, mistake
which none r -cognizcd more fully than
those Republicans who cherished the
highest regard for his lofty character
and commanding abilities. He has paid
the penalty of that mistake, and some
will think that the eXpiation demanded
of him is excessive. 1t is scarcely open
to doubt that time will soon moderate
the harshness of tone and asperity of
temper manifested toward him during the
contest now closed. His twenty years
Of brilliant public service will be remem-
bered by and by, as well as the one act Of
folly, by which he has, for the time, for
ftited his claim upon public life. The
American people are a people Of just in
stincts and generous impulses. Partisan
passion may, for the moment sweep all
before it, and lead them to cover an il
lustrious name and an honorable rec
ord with a transient cloud OF obloquy.
But In the long run, the Republican par
ty makes restitution in such cases. Mr..
Conkling is defeated, but he is not dis
honored. The Republican party will
march on for a time without his leader
ship, but unless he shall himself efface all
the obligations of his record by arrayng
himself among his enemies, it is tolera-
bly, certain that in time to come, it will
have need of him again.

the late Stephen A. Douglass. The
acadamy was at that time one of the
leading educational institutions in the
State, and young Lapham and Douglass
were regarded by the faculty and their
fellow students as the smartest scholars
in the institution. In debates they were
regarded as rivals, and always were pit
ted against each other. Mr.. Lapham oc-
cupied a seat at the head of the table in
the boarding department and Douglass
sat at his right hand. Mr.. Lapham was
compelled to leave the school for several
weeks, and on his return found Mr. Doug
lass occupying the seat at the head Of the
table. Mr.. Lapham demanded his seat,
and Mr.. Douglass insisted upon his right
to retain 1t. The faculty finally decided
that the two young men should argue the
case before the scholars, who would sit
as jiry. The contestants accepted the
situation and made elaborate speeches.
The jury decided that Douglass was en-
titled to the seat. Lapham in relating this
anecdote, used to say, 'This was Steph-
en- A. Douglass first idea of squatter
sovereignty"

A blacksmith of Titusville, while spad-
ing up his garden after heavy rain few
days ago, found crude petroleum in the
little cavities made by his spade. He
dug a pit four feet deep, and it was full
of oil in short time. Another pit he
dug in his potato patch produced two
barrels an hour. Real estate is having q
boom around that garden, and that black
smiths wells yields him 500 a day just
now More wells have been sunk in the
neighborhood with good results. There
are several theories in regard to this un-
heard-of presence Of petroleum in large
quantities so near the surface. One is
that the oil is the leakage of tanks and
pipe lines, which has sunk into the earth
until it reached the gravelly deposits, in
which it is now found in pools. Anothe
is that this deposit has been forced up
from the true petroleum sand stratum by
some unknown agency, and caught and
retained in the stratum where it now
lies.
