Pittsburg Oil FURRY

PITTsBURa, Pa, Nov. To-day was the
most exciting one in the history of oil exchan-
ges The market opened with sales at 81. TO-
aud then declined to $1.0St, but quickly re-
covered and advanced steadily until the close
OF the morning session, when $1.15 was asked.
All the morning the widest scenos were enact
ed, and blocks of many thousand barrels of oil
changed hands. At the afternoon session the
scenes of the morning were repeated, and
were, If possible, more exciting. The opening
sales were made at $1.20, followed by reac-
tion and drop of five cents. The weakness
however. was only temporary and the market
rallied toward the close, the final sales being
made at $1.20 3-8. The transactions were the
largest in the history of the exchange, and ag-
gregated 9,150,0o0 barrels.

His Last Nights Lecture in
Boston.
THE WORK YET TO BE DONE.

BosToN, Mass, Nov 5.--A. M. Sullivan, M.
p, lectured in the Boston Theatre tonight. In
sketching the work of the Land League since
1879, he declared that in their widest hopes
and most ambitious demands, they never asked
for as much as was given in Gladstone's last
act, already something like 80 per cent. of
the whole rental of Ireland has been taken
from the shoulders of the people, which was
the great and most tremendous revolution ever
accomplished by legislative effort in Europe.
But he continued, 1--WE are not satisfied
with that, we want the arrears wiped off, in
iquitous leases annulled, and above all. we
want landlords compelled to sell out to occu-
pying tenants''

Hisforic Kansas

Says the Kansas City Journal: The
Kansas State Historical society has be-
come an institution of great Importance
to the commonwealth The secretary.
Judge Adams, has collected together a
mass of information, embracing almost
every fact Of the early history of the
territory and state, which must prove
Of vast benefit to the future historian.
The annual meeting of the society &C.
CURED Tuesday, the 18th inst, at To-
peka. The address on the occasion
was delivered by Rev. Richard Cordley
Of Emporia, and is a NEST admirable
picture Of THE Convention Epoch in
Kansas" Itgroups together in the ters-
est and most attractive form all the
principal facts in regard to the determ-
ined struggle Of the people for freedom
in that territory, with brief but graphic
sketches of the free state leaders of
that day. OF the territorial governors,
Reeder, Geary, Shannon, Walker and
Medary have passed away from earth.
Denver yet remains, and is practicing
law in Washington. OF the secretaries,
who were acting governors, Stanton,
we believe, yet lives in Denver. Hugh
8. Walsh, If alive, is out of sight as
well as memory. George NJ. Beebe re-
turned to his old home in New York,
and has represented his district in con-
gress, but is now in retirement. Charles
Robinson, the first governor Of the new
state, is yet living, honored and respect
ed, at Lawrence. j. w. Whitfield and
Marcus j. PARROT, the two territorial
delegates in congress, are dead. Martin
+. Conway, the first member of con-
gress, is in the asylum for the insane
near Washington; and his successor,
A. Carter Wilder, sleeps his last sleep
in the cemetery at Rochester, New
York, Of which city he was mayor Just
before his death. Thomas Ewing, ir..
a prominent man in the early conven-
tions, and chief justice of the supreme
court, is now living in New York, but
has represented an Ohio district in con-
gress, and two years ago was the Demo
cratic candidate for governor of that
state. Gen. James II. Lane, one of the
first United States senators, committed
suicide, and his colleague, Samuel G.
POmeroy, lives in Washington, but
holds no position. w. T. Sherman,
who in territorial days was practicing
law in Leavenworth, is now general of
the army of the United States.
Scores OF ether men who took part
in the early struggles of Kansas have
since won distinction in that and other
states to which they removed, while
many laid down their lives in the wal
of the rebellion, which was precipitat-
ed by the strife Of the pro-slavery and
anti-slavery parties in Kansas.
Mr.. Cordley's address brings all these
actors in that grand drama back before
us, and calls up memories of glorious
band OF men whose intelligence was
exceptional, whose courage made them
heroes, and whose patriotism and love
of liberty were never surpassed.

Pure Food.

Halls Journal OF Health.
1t is no economy to use inferior food.
1t is q saving of time, money and
health to pay a higher price for what
we eat, if it be fresh and perfect, than
to obtain it for less on account of its
being wilted or old or decayed. Some
people prefer to make their meat ten
der by keeping, which means decompo-
sition has taken place, in palmer
phrase, is rotting. Such meats require
less chewing, and may appear very ten
der, but it is physiological fact that
they are not digested as easily or as
quickly as solid fresh meat. When a
vegetable begins to wilt it is no longer
that vegetable, because a change OF
particles has taken place, and in such
proportion it is unnatural-it is dead
and to eat ii tends to death.
One of the most horrible forms of
disease is caused by eating sausages
that have been kept long time; more
common in Germany than elsewhere.
Scarcely anything saddens us so much
in passing through some of the by
streets and more eastern avenues rs
the sight of the long-kept meats and
shriveled vegetables which are sold to
the unfortunate poor at the Dutch gro
ceries. But the poverty-stricken are
not the only sufferers; the richest
men come in for their share, for them
selves and for their families, in proper
ton as the mistresses of their splendid
mansions are incOmpetent or inatten-
tive to those household duties, the
proper performance or neglect of which
makes all the difference between a true
wife and a contemplate doll. With
all the high-sounding advantages of
"Young Ladies' Boarding Schools" and
Institutes" and all that. with the
twaddle about learning French and
German. and aesthetics, how many of
those paint-like girls are any more ct
to take charge Of a mans household
than to navigate ship or calculate a
parallax?

The Old Fiddler.

Las Vegas Optic.
The old fiddler! What has become
of him? The dear old fashioned ild-
dler of our boyhood, who occupied the
one chair in the kitchen and beat such
hearty time to his music on the bare
oak door. Ali what a whole-souled
thing his foot wasl No dainty and in
audible pulsation of the toe, but gen.
uine flat-footed stomp whose bolster
Gus palpitations held high above the
rhythmic patter of the dancers feet,
Jared and jingled the little eight by
ten window panes at his back, and
thrilled the very china on the cup
board shelves. There were no afecta-
lions about the old fiddler. His in
strument was just a fiddle, he is cd
der; and for this homely reason alone,
perhaps, it was the youthful listener
felt the vibrate current Of the tune in
every vein, with such ecstatic-spurts
OF mirthfulness at times that he felt
his breath sucked up in the whirls of
intoxication, as one may feel IL lost and
caught up, swoOping down the breezy
atmosphere in a long pendulating
grapevine swing. And what quaint
old tunes he played. 'Guilderoy,' was
the name Of one of them, The Gray
Eagle was another, and The Forked
Deer and The Old Fat Gal-all IA
vorites. Telling the name over again.
in fancy they all come whisking back
the bottom Of the present is knocked
out, and peering through a long m@l-
stromic vista.
We see the fiddler through the dusk,
Twanging the ghosts Of Money Musk;
we see the dancers skurrying to their
places-we feel once more encased in
our best" clothes-and all mechani-
cally our hand goes up again to stroke
the bear-greased roach upon our fore
head ere we salute our blusing "pard-
ner," who. for all her shining face and
chaste and rustling toilet, has still an
odor OF dish water clinginQ to her
hands we love to clasp no less. We
pause impatiently as the fiddler
''rosums up again; we hear the lone
premonitory rasping Of the how. we
see the old man cross his legs with the
old ums abandon, and with q bewilder.
