The Yankee stated the sum consider
ably over the market value OF the arti-
Gle.

agreed" said the Yankee. 'Now
when can you procure them?"
"In two days."
'AH right must go ten miles fur
ther-I will pay you for them on my re-
turn"
After some further conversation about
the size, make and quality of the article,
all which served to impress D. with the
legitimacy of the transaction, the Yam
kee returned to town, put on his old
clothes, and otherwise altered his ap-
pearance, so that he was fully prepared
to superintend the sale of his own lam
terms when the old skinfiint arrived. In
due time D. arrived at the tavern, and
after much screwing and Jewing, the
bargain was struck, the money paid
down, and the tinware delivered.
A broad grin of satisfaction might
have been observed all this time on the
face of six or eight of the bystanders, but
nothing was said. The Yankee got full
price for his lanterns, pOcketed his $50
and then started hOmeward.
Old D. waited all the next day, and
two more, but the Philadelphia merchant
came not. At length the lanterns grew
hateful in the old mans sight, and with
a dozen round Oaths, rejecting severely
upon the mercantile community in gen.
eral, the tinware was put i'm the garnet.
The joke got wind and everybody knew
it, and from that day forth, the old mis-
er was known by the cOgnOmen of "Old
Lantern" Many years afterwards the
old man died, and the handful that an
nOunced the sale of his effects contained
the following NOta Bene:
ALSO at the same time and place,
three hundred lanterns almost as good
as new, which will be sold at good bar
gain"

luminator is unsurpassed by the finest
artificial gas. 1t is so cheap, being sup
piled at monthly rate, instead of by the
thousand, that the people seldom put out
their lights. 1t is burned all day and all
night in the stores, hotels, private houses
and even in the streets, municipal moon
light being unknown. Gas wells have
come to be more valuable than oil wells,
and the phenomenal appearance of oil in
some of the principal wells has created
CONSERVATION among the overs and con-
sumers. A few days ago one of the wells
ceased in its gas supply, and on examina-
tiOn it was found 20 be half full of oil.
Fifteen barrels of excellent crude oil
was pumped out, and the gas flowed
again. One or two of the other wells
exhibited the same phenomenon, and it
is necessary to pump out the oil daily
before the gas will flow. The sudden ap-
pearance of oil i'm territory that was
considered dry has not yet been satisfac-
tOrilv explained.

The city of Bradford, Pa, and other
places in the neighbOrhOOd are all light
ed and heated with gas from we'll bored
for oil, but found to be unprOductive.
The force of the gas was such that when
lighted pillar of fire fifty feet high was
formed, with a roar that could be heard
for a mile or more. The well had
been burning long time before the
feasibility of utilizing it was thought of.
A company was formed for the purpose
of carrying the gas into the city, and it
is now distributed all over the place i'm

running into the parlOr or kitchen stove,
and when fire is wanted a lighted
match is thrown in and the gas turned
on. The gas possesses great heating
qualities, and apartments are warmed
as quickly and better than if coal was
used. For illuminating it was not SO
good at first, but processes for refining
were applied, and now the natural il

BY THE RIVER.

Oever changing river
That seekest the changeleSs sea,
Where are the forms and the faces
The years have shown to thee?
Glitter of golden haulberk,
And silver Of swinging sword,
Down by the shallow scurry,
And over the darkling ford.
And here in this ferny corner,
Where the shadows fall on the spray,
A vision OF weeping woman's eyes,
AS her true love gallops away.
Say, didst thou note them, o river,
And gather them up, and flee
To watt them away to hide them
In the soundless depths of the sea?
Sheen Of princes arm0r,
And CLINT of trusty sword,
And blOOd-stained faces of fearless men
Dying to save their lord.
Soldiers and statesmen and cOurtiers
And cold-eyed priests, and group
or dainty, delicate maidens
In powder, patch and hoop.
Say, didst thou note them, o riverl
And garner their smiles and tears?
Did their hearts beat high and falter
With Old-wOrld hopes and fears?
Did they look on the deep, dark water
Whereit mirrors the diamond spray,
And love and struggle and suffer
As we Of this latter day?
Across the gulf Of the ages, Y
Where the secrets of silence sleep,
Comes vOice-'Ye are sisters and brothers
Who love and suffer and Weep"
For the day goes by, and the morrow
Comes back as it did of yore,
And the love is the same, and the sorrow
Is the sorrow our fathers bore.
As the burden has been, so it shall be
Till the kind God bears us free
Down the stormy waves OF the river
To the calm of the intimate sea-
London World.

REDLECH. nECHT & CO.
a Rev Firm with uneNeeIied Facilities
FOR meeIIng the Trade.

Hecht Bros &, Co, ofSan Francisco have
opened a branch establishment in Port

market. Mr.. 5. Redlich, formerly with l..
Goldsmith &Co-, will assume the manage
ment ofthe branch here, and that IN IT.
self is a sufficient guarantee of the future
success of the house. The new firm will
sell goods at the same prices as does the
San Francisco house. A great advantage
is offered by this house, 9nd one that Will
be appreciated is the fact that when deal
ers desire case or more of any desired
size they can be accommodated. Hereto
fore cases invariably contained varied
sizes, and buyer was too often compelled
10 purchase what proved dead stock IN
order to obtain just what was desired
Dealers were i'll consequence compelled TO
carry the sizes for which they had little
or no call, although it had TO be done in
order to supply sa1eable sizes. The new
system introduced by Mr.. Redlich. will
entirely do away with this and the dealer
can purchase Just what is needed for his
trade and not be compelled 10 carry un-
called for stock. This also has been u
great reason for giving orders to drum
mers for San Francisco houses who took
orders for special sizes although stocks
here were first class and could be bought
to advantage, yet the fact of not being able
TO secure just the sizes desired, operated
against trade with this city, and lost to
its merchants co lsiderdble business. In
terror merchants will welcome this accom-
mediation and doubtless show just APP
probation for the efforts of the new house
TO meet their wants. All goods kept by
the firm are to be packed in this manner.
To show samples TO advantage the firm
have had Constructed for them a large and
handsome cabinet for displaying goods.
Among the many desirable and popular
brands kept in stock is the celebrated
Buckingham & Hecht "Hercules" boot,
which las met with n large sale on this
coast in the past few years. This boot can
be had only ofthis firm, they having been
appointed sole agents for the sale OF all
of Buckingham & Hecht's manufacture.

REAL ESTATE WORTH HAvING.-A re-

Gates the immense value it has reached.
The plot corner Of Twenty-sixth street
was purchased by the Astors for S212,-

rate land in this vicinity is worth n
million per acre. The Astors have n
large extent of property in this avenue,
which old John Jacob bought for $3.50
per acre. They required, however, the
above mentioned plot Tor special uses,
and hence paid the price wn;rh would
have bought an immense up-tGs.a farm,
and the fact that Robert Lenox paid only
$4,000 for the the thirty-acre tract at
Lenox Hill, illustrates the old-time quo
tatiOns. Lenox considered himself out
witted in the bargain, but his son James
lived to see one lot, containing a six
teenth part of an acre, worth more than
the entire cost of the farm, including
both principal and interest. Such are
some of the real estate changes.-[ New
