From the seas and the streams;

The sweet buds every one.

And then again dissolve in rain
And laugh as pass in thunder

And their pines groan aghast
And all the night tits my pillow white,
While sleep in the arms of the blast.
Sublime on the towers of my skyey bowers,

In cavern under is fettered the thunder,

Over earth and ocean, with gentle motion,
This pilot is guiding me,
Lured by the love of the genii that move
In the depths of the purple sea;
Over the rills and the crags and the hills,
Over the lakes and the plains,

The Spirit he loves remains;

AS | got beyond Rossville, in riding out to
the battlefield of Chickamauga, it began to
rain and the way the thunder roared and
lightning flashed and flood gates opened was
appalling. A farmer just over the Georgia
line beckoned me out OF the wet, and there
stuck from 10 o'clock until dark. It was
steady storm, without break for a minute,
and as there were no signs of its clearing up
before midnight, the man said had better
stay all night. 1t looked that way to me,
too, but it was q log house with only one
room, and only two beds for the twelve of
us. There were six children, some half
grown, the farmer and his wife, an old
woman, q son-in-law, a young woman and
myself. 1t looked as if some of us would
have to stand up to sleep, and along about 8
o'clock began to get nervous. Perhaps the
man noticed it, for soon after that hour he
added:
stranger, We'll step out and look at the
weather"
We went to the barn, and after look at
the horse, returned, and found all the women
in one bed and the light out
shake off and jump in t'other bed,"
whispered the man, and followed directions.
l was no sooner in than he followed. Then
came the young man, then the old one, and
then the three boys lay across our feet, the
upper one resting across my knees. 1t was
impossible to move or turn, but in ten min
utes all were snoring away as if that was
their usual way of going to bed. I heard
the old clock strike II, IL, and 2, and was
finally doing off when some one opened the
door, walked in and began to undress. The
noise aroused the farmer, who carefully
called out:
who's that?"
"Me."
"Who's me?'
"Jim Baker"
ooh, Jim, eh. Want to stay all night 2.
II reckon"
"Well, strip off and pile in between the
first two on the front-there's only four of
us lying lengthwise."
Jim piled in without another word being
said, and as I was sliding silently out to fin
ish the night on the floor, the farmer sleepily
queried:
"That you, Tom Pull off your boots and
slip in here-lots of room left yet"

Ninety Cent Oil.

AN EXCITED MARKET AT THE PITTS
BURG EXCHANGE - YESTERDAYS
FLUCTUATIONS.
Pittsburg, Sep. 29-The com
parative quiet which has reigned at
the oil exchange in this city during
the past two days, to-day gave place
to the widest excitement. The
market before the dinner hour was
full of pranks up and down, in one
cent and one cent and a half jumps,
just the kind of a market to tempt
outsiders in, and to retain their cut
iclcs when they were in. Much oil
changed hands, and the prices at
half-hour intervals were blackboard
ed as follows: Opened at S7I, SO, SCI,
S7a, 81, closing at S7s. During the
afternoon the highest price of the
year-eighty-ninc and one-half cents
was reached, and it is predicted that
it will open tomorrow at ninety
cents. The sudden advance is duo
to reduction in the price of car.
rying from three dollars TO fifty
cents per 1000 barrels per day.

'@AAN ~ Olk
The elements of the campaign are
too numerous to recite, but every act
tends to prove the one central pur-
pose, the endorsement of Cameron.
The candidates might be elected if
the contest were made for them alone,
but it must be done in a manner to
make it his triumph, or he will wreck
the ticket and party. No plansselt
his can be entertained, and every
movement must be stamped with the
impress ofhis method. But it will
not be a wreck of the party except by
his success. The party can bear any
thing better than that; and all the
omcns indicate as the result, the
defeat of the ticket, the wreck of
Cameron and the salvation of the
party. If his ticket be defeated, as
seems inevitable, it will not be owing
to the personal weakness of the can
didates, but on account of the load
with which they have been weighed
down, and when their defeat shall
have demonstrated that no candidate
can carry Cameron and win the race
ambitious men will not seek his aiC
for nominations, and risk being
crushed beneath the load. Then th'
people and not Cameron will MAKE
the nominations, and the party, freet
from his weight, will bound npwar,
like balloon relieved of its ballast.

-Ellwood Cooper of Santa Barbara,
the leading olivegrower of California,
says that he has trees eight years old
that had produced two thousand gal
Ions Of olive oil to the acre. This would
be equivalent to $50 gallons of oil to
the acre, and the oil finds o ready
market at SIS gallon. The yield of
one acre would thus be 81 ,250, which
for hundred acre ranch would be a
pretty fair income. But these figures
are not represented to apply to any
except the very choicest trees and an
uncommonly good year. But even
computing the profits of olive culture
at as low figure as one-tenth, @
twenty acre ranch would support c
family very comfortably after six OF
seven years Of waiting. One of tho
great advantages Of olive culture is thC
fact that irrigation is not needed. Ir
a climate where there is often such {
scarcity of rain as in California, this il
matter of much importance. Th'
oliye tree also grows very old. Ther'
are trees in Asia Minor that are know
to bear over 200 years old, and ar
still in full bearing. In considering
the profits of fruit culture, however
the dangers of insect pests, disease
and overproduction must be kept il
mind and these are usually passed b.
without mention in the glowing dis
criptions of southern California.

Statistics OF the Oil Field.

PIE FALLING OPT IN PRODUCTION
DURING THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER.
Bradford, Sep, 29.-The monthly
report of oil operations for September
shows that there has been 40 wells
completed in the entire region with
n production of 4576 barrels per day,
against $50 wells and production of
1924 barrels in August, a decrease OF
as wells and "a, 449 barrels production.
The Cherry Grove field, which was
the bugbear of the trade in August,
has become practically exhausted, ITO
of its wells having ceased to flow, and
all the others having materially de-
clined. It's production on the first day
of September was estimated at about
10000 barrels per day, and it is now
not over 5000 barrels, many figuring
it ct even less than this. Bradford to-
day is estimated by reliable parties at
$4,000, Allegheny at $4,000 and the
lower country at 1000, thus making
the entire production Of petroleum
about IS, 900 barrels per day at the end of
September, with constant falling off.
While the consumption is estimated
at 20 900 barrels per day, showing that
nearer together than at any time since
the opening of the vast Bradford field,
In the way Of new work and the pros
poets for the future, the report shows
that 304 wells were ready to operate OF
were being drilled, at the close of the
month, against SO at the close OF
August; falling Off in new operations
OF 1913, and Of these many will never be
completed, owing to the disastrous re-
suits of neighboring ventures. Only
seventeen new wells were started in
the Bradford field during September
thirty-three in Allegheny and twelve
in Cherry Grove. The Forest county
field Is not considered formidable by
the trade, as the Shannon wells neal
Balltown are falling Off rapidly, and
are not now large enough to be alarm
ing. Baldridge, in Butler county and
Cranberry, in Venango, have added
little to the production during the
month, and are not taken into account
in figuring on the future.

OR NOT.
Washington, Sep. 29-The sug-
gcstion that Secretary Folgcr should
decline the Republican nomination
for Governor nf New York, in view
Of the fraudulent means by which
the machine secured a victory at
Saratoga, has caused much comment
in Washington. The possibility
that he may reject the nomination is
considered by the Stalwarts with
great alarm. Whether he accepts OF
nor, it is felt that he must resign
The reports here all agree that the
active politicians who have cspoused
the Administration desire a moro
vigorous manipulation of patronage
than Judge Folger at the head Of
the Treasury. If the statements ant
stories heard on all sides are true, il
is only a question of few weeks a
most when he will resign. The
name of Pierre VanWick, Of New
York, is suggested again as a pos
sible successor to Judge Folger.

Bulbs Tor F0Il FI0ntlnS.
SOME HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS THAT
MAY BE OF VALUE JUST NOW.


A common remark from. every, one
interested in Horticulture in spring
time is: II intended having bedfof
spring Towering bulbs, but did not
think Of it in time" The same is said
about everything else in the garden;
when some one has q beautiful flower,
some one else, in fact every one who
sees it, 10 going to have the same next
year. Next year comes, always on
time, and finds those who were to
have hyacinths, tulips and other flow
cring bulbs this spring just as they
were last, tone day to late" This
fact of fall planting is the stone of
stumbling over which thousands fall ;
to all such let us say, that If you want
flowers next spring commence now,
and with q determination that knows
no defeat. Ifyou want good flowers
buy your bulbs early and plant them
at once, so It's hoped our flower loving
patrons will not neglect opportunities
this fall.
! Let it be remembered that the bulbs
being good for successive yearly plant
ings, and culture perpetually (by tax
ing up about June 1st, and planting
again in the fall Of the yearD and thu
first outlay being very small, thei
cheapness must be apparent to ever!
one. In indoor winter gardening
many of the hardy bulbs can be mad
to serve an important part, being per
fectly adapted for forcing in pots

them at intervals a succession of flow
ers can readily be had for months, be
ginning in January. Mr.. Harr
Chapel, the well known florist, of %
West Fourth street, being desirous tha
his friends and patrons shall be su'
, cessful with their bulbs, will alway
be ready and anxious to give informs

An Administration Blunder.
ALBANY Evening Journal.l

The administration has persisted
in dragging 1884 into this campaign.
1t has refused the warning of its
real friends, and rejected well-con-
sidercd advice to allow the party to
harmonic itself in its own way.
With blind faulty it has forced for
ward the most offensive of its pen
sioners to contest with the Republi-
can voters of the State the privilege
of naming ticket for the latter to
elect, and has become responsible for
the unspeakable manner in which
these pensioners accomplished their
end. Now that it sees the delirious
folly of its cause, it appeals to these
outraged voters to come to its rescue,
and not imperil 1884. All that
should have been thought Of q
month ago. Long before the bosses
marched out upon this skirmish limo
of theirs, they were warned that the
spirit of mutiny was in the ranks
They would not listen. For the
consequences, they can blame only
themselves.

ties Of hot water which Is encountered
In them, affords an outlet to $1,000
tons every twenty-four hours, or about
10000 gallons. Some of the water
as it finds its way out of the mines,
has temperature of 1875 deg, while
four miles from the mouth of the tun-
mel the temperature ranges from l3O to
1856. To obyiatc the inconvenience
which would arise from the vapor such
vast quantity Of water would give

entire tunnel, four miles, in q tight
fiume made of pine. AT the point of
exit the water has lost but seven de-
grees Of heat. Sixty feet below tn e
mouth of the tunnel tile hot water is

turned off by tunnel 100 feet in
length, which serves as a waterway.

water is being utilized for many pur.
poses. The boys have arranged
several pools, where they indulge in
hot baths. The miners and other:
use it for laundry purposes, and ar

way to satisfy the Republicans who
believe that is for Folgcr to refuse
the nomination. The Young Re

effect that the will of Republican
voters was defeated by an abuse OF

Music in England.

No one. too could in fairness pronounce this
capital lacking i'm interest in the art. The null
titude of chamber concerts, musical evenings
orchestral concerts, recitals, ballad concerts
and musical festivals is amazing. The most
ardent lover of music must be content to skip
concerts at which he would fan be present.
There can be little doubt that the Duke of Al
bany is right in saying that in no foreign capital
is there greater number of public concerts than
in London Our musical literature is iuXuriant
and of immense extent. Such an institution as
the Royal Academy never lacks pupils There
seems. in fact. to be every sign that interest in
and true love of this art is growing with amaZ-
ing strength and rapidity.
And yet every clear-sighted musician is aware
that there is more activity than vitality, more
growth of Initiative capacity than real progress.
More and more Englishmen like music. and ex-
hbt growing taste for the productions of the
best schools. and are willing to reward and honor
great musicians. But it is still foreigners who
compose for US. 1t is they who interpret for us
the masterpieces we admire. 1t is to foreign
tribunals OF taste we appeal for guidance. HAY
ing no clear standard OF our own, we are almost
afraid to speak fayorably of the works of our
own composers until they have been sanctioned
by foreign authorities to which we have been
taught to bow. We cling to old canOns and
standards because, not having the guidance Of
educated Instincts, we are afraid to welcome
what is novel. A hundred times has the Ques-
been put: III we are Il musical nation. why do
we draw our supply Of music so largely from
abroad: The answer suggested last night may
be nearly right. Music, it may be said. does not
enter deeply into national life 1t is reserved
for public occasions. 1T is not an ever-present
establishment. 1t is still for most of us an ad-
ventitous luxury. The number OF persons who
will spend time and money in getting up mu-
steal festival to which several hundred voices
will lend their aid has increased. But how ma
ny are there to whom resort to music in mirth
and trouble and all vicsstudes is necessary or
habitual, and who prefer to listen to a symphO-
ny of Beethoven in vacant hour rather than
turn to tine stirring pages Of u magazine or nov
ell? 1t is said that up to the seventeenth CEN
fury We were musical nation. and that the
change for the worse began in the following
century Whether this he so or not, there is no
reason to suppose that the national character is
so sterile as to be incapable of ever producing a
genuine school Of native music. We are in
much the same condition in which Germany
was when Italian music reigned supreme there,
| as elsewhere. We may not unreasOnably hope
to better our position by treading the path
which that country pursued-by diffiising sound
elementary instruction in music, and by estab-
fishing national school where native genius
will be encouraged and Observation-Disclosures
