THE TARIFF COMMISSION.

New YORK, Oct. 2.-The tariff COM
mission resumed its labors to day in
this city.
NEW YORK COMMITTEES.
New YORK, Oct. 2-The rooms of
the democratic state committee, in
Park Avenue hotel this evening were
dreary and deserted. This cherries
aspect, it was said, was due to the fact
that the LocaLe OF the headquarters had
not been sufficiently advertised. There
had been no meeting yesterday, but it
is expected that on Tuesday or
Wednesday, the executive committee
will meet to perfect arrangements for
making things look better.
THE REPUBLICANS.
The corridors of the Fifth Avenue
hotel-the headquarters of the repub-
lican committee-werei in striking con-
trast to the enemy's camp. In the
Fifth Avenue all was excitement, the
corridor being crowded. Secretary
Folger had not left town, nor yet had
he communicated anything TO that
committee that wonld allay the alarm
ing rumor that was current. That ru-
NOR was that the judge would decline
his nomination. One Of the commit
tee, when asked if it were known when
Judge Folger's letter of acceptance, if
he was going to accept, would be
ready, answered that it would be impos-
sible to say-that Mr.. Folger, in keep
ing his own counsel, made his friends
very uneasy. Groups Of politicians
were discussing the probability Of their
| nominees refusal, and on all sides it
was conceded that defections, like the
detection of ex-senator Woodin and
other prominent men, would prove
hurtful if not fatal to the party.
BOSTON REPUBLICANS.
BosToS, Oct. 2-One hundredth bal
lot in the Sixth district republican con-
gressional convention resulted as fol-
lows: Lodge, 38; Converse, 80; Davis,
Is; Frost, IL. The convention voted
to continue on In session until nomina-
ton is made.

can domination for governor, and A.

nation for congressman at large.

SOMETHING of the enormous propoc-
tious of the oil trade in the various ex-
changes of this country may be gath
cred from an inspection of the sales
and resales Of the past week, in the three
exchanges at Bradford, Oil City and
Pittsburg. The transactions during the
six days averaged 2S, 55S 600 barrels
per day. Add to this the transactions
i'll the New York, Warren and Phila-
delphia exchanges, and the total would
aggregate upwards of 10000, 900 bar
rels daily That the great bulk of this
trade is speculative is manifest from
the fact that the total daily production
does not exceed 10000 barrels ut the
present time. But there are upwards
of 10000, 900 barrels in store, besides
the daily production, and this vast
amount, represented by certificates
which are readily transferable, fur
nishes the material upon which an
immense speculative trade is main

Following a Streak Of Wind.

A tributor of Ruby Hill was asked
how his ''pitch'' looked, and he made
the following curious remark: II am
following streak of wind" Strange
as this may appear (the remark, not the
windy, yet it is true. 1t appears that
in sinking upon his piece Of ground he
came upon a crack in the rock about
three inches in width, from which issues
considerable air. Where it comes from
and what the miner may strike in fol-
lowing this strange ''lead'' must for the
time remain mystery. The miner was
right in following his ''streak of wind"
He doubtless understands that this
streak of air breathed out of the depths
is liable to lead him to a cave, and he
also knows that q cave is liable to con-
tain an amount of ore that would make
his fortune. Among the old lead mines
of Galena, ILL.,, a ''streak of wind" or
breathing crevice," was always con-
sidered a first class indications. When
a miner found that he was pretty sure
oflfnding q cave filed with lead ORE
The lead mines of Galena are in lime

as the formation about Eureka. ..Wind''

A Romantic Maria ce,

A romantic marriage took place here
recently, says Lexington {Ky.) dis
patch, at the residence of Mr.. I. j.
Nichols, the well-known horseman, the
parties being Mr.. r. A. Muligan and
Miss Maggie Johnson. Years ago, when
little children. they were members OF
the community of Shakers, near Har.
rodsburg. As children they loved each
other, ana grew up with the intention OF
some day marrying. The boy left his
home and went to the east, where he
procured a position in manufacturing
house. In course of time he was adj.
vanced to a well-paying position, and
he determined to go back to Kentucky
and claim his Shaker bride. They could
not marry in the community, so she
came to Lexington last spring and Sc.
cured home in Mr.. Nichols family
She changed her queer garb to one more
fashionable, and more than one young
man in this city fell in love with the
pretty, dignitied maiden of 10. But she
was true to her first love, and anxiously
looked forward to the day when he
should come. He came, and, as she
was under the legal age, difficulty
arose as to the procuring of license
Maggie's mother could not leave the
Shakers and come here to give her con.
sent. A lawyer was consulted, and,
going before the county Judge, she
chose Mr.. Nichols as her guardian.
He gave his consent, and the coveted
license was issued. The sequel took
place last night at O'clock. The erst.
while Shaker children were made man
and wife, in presence of number OF
friends, and were warmly congratulated

was he kicked out?''

too big for his breaches and we bounced
him, emphatically calculated the cap

This conversation occurred within
hearing of bright-eyed intelligent little
girl, the daughter OF one Of the tourists
on that steamer. Subsequently another
passenger arrived and after bestowing a
casual glance around, said:
II don't see the old steward; what
has become Of him?''

Analysis of American Humor.

American humor is something of it's
own Kind, as purely and peculiarly a
part of the United States as pumpkin
pie, says Rev. S. w. Duffield, in the In-
dependent. We have among us the
vivacity of the French, the fun of the
Irish, the graver mirth of the English,
and the epigrammatic expressiveness of
the Scotch; this curious mixture has
made our wit what it is. and every
American humorist shows the traces Of
1t. If we analyze the elements of the
distinctive kind and sort of writing
which passes under the general head,
we shall be surprised to see the re-
semblancc among themselves, and their
difference from all other foreign species.
We are born followers of Baron Mum
chausen, and exaggeration is at the
bottom OF the most of our humor.
When John Phoenix said that he called
out to the crowd on shore, Good bv.
Colonel" .and every able-bodied man
IN it raised his hat and cried Good by.
Colonel" in response, he touched the
great nerve of American humor; and
when he stated that he held the bellie-
erent editor down over the press '.by
means OF our nose, which we had in
serted between his teeth for this pur
pose,'' he showed the second trait of
the characteristic comic, writer-name-
~, ludicrous juxtaposition, and revers-
ing OF ordinary ideas. And so, when
Artemus Ward says to the young man
who disturbs him in the theater: "I'd
appint your funeral tomorrow after.
noon, and the corpse should be ready
he gives us the third feature, quaint
phrascology, and odd turns of dialect.
In these three points, then--exaggera-
ton, righteousness, and odd forms of
speech-we find the distinctive pecu-
liarities of our American wit. It only
needs that we should remember the tly-
ing notes of our newspaper sunshine.
the eccentricities of Mark Twain, Max
Adeler, and the photographers of the
Detroit Free Press and the Burlington
Ha10keyc-for us to see how frequent
are these glints and flashes in our usual
reading. You never find columns of
''Waifs'' and Pebbles and queer
conceits and short burlesques in foreign
English speaking journals.
