Just think Of it! More than Seven Thousand
Bottles of Ammen's Cough Syrup have been
sold at retail in the City of San Jose, Cali
fsrnia, within the last two wears.

Does not that prove that those who have
used 1T buy it again, and recommend it to their
friends, and that it is what we claim for 1.-THE
best remedy in the world Tor a cold OF cough
and that it is rapidly becoming known and ap.
preciated, In spite of opposition from the doc.
tors and druggists? And this immense sale
has been created without any humbug adver-
Using, or publishing testimonials. 1t has come
to our knowledge that certain physicians and
druggists work against and try to injure the
reputation of this medicine. If druggist, he
wants to sell you something he makes himself
at the expense of u few cents, or some patent
medicine upon which there is large profit; if
physician, he wishes you to come to him and
pay for prescription, instead of buying bot
tie of Ammen's Cough Syrup. Now, the SIM
pie facts in the case are, that we honestly be-
lieve we have the best remedy in the world for
colds, coughs and lung complaints. And we

STORIES OF FORTUNE.

OIL" said veteran operator ON the
Brandford Petroleum Exchange; moth
ing like the one OF the winter OF 1860
has been known in the modern days OF
the trade. That was the winter that
Jesse Heydrick put down the old
Farmers and Mechanics well, or rather
the company that he formed put IT
down. and that was the first company
ever formed to develop the oil territory
The well came in good for about 5000
barrels "A day, and half of it couldn't he
taken care of, but ran down the creek
in regular flood. Oil was oil then, and
was worth $l2 barrel. Pittsburg was
the only market, and we had only one
way to get oil there, and that was by
running it in barges down the Allegheny
river from Oil City. OF course it was
necessary to have freshets to transport
it in this way. The winter that Hey
drick struck his well the river was
frozen over, but he was bound to get
some oil to Pittsburg. lie succeeded
in cutting way through, and ran ten
fiatboats down. lie sold all his oil at
$13 a barrel. The next day thaw set
in, and in two days the river broke up.
Then the boats began to run, and in a
short time the market was overstocked,
and in less than a week oil was selling
at 80 cents barrel.
The early days of oil production were
attended by many curious incidents.
One of the queerest was streak OF luck
we'll owner struck on the creek in 1868.
He had drilled we'll down to the third
sand, and found nothing but water,
and three days continuous pumping
failed to bring anything else to the
surface, so he abandoned the well in
disgust. The next day q neighbor OF
his, who was operating on an adjoining
lease, came over to see the disguised
weli-owner, and informed him, with
much excitement, that since the pump.
ing of water had ceased at his well great
trouble had resulted at the other well
which had yielded thirty barrels of oil
a day as long as the water was being
pumped, but upon the stopping of the
water pumping had filled up with water
and produced no more oil.
.'The result was that the man who
owned the producing well hired the less
fortunate operator to keep his pump go
ing, for which he paid him $40 a week
The producing well was thus restored tC
its former condition and things WORKED
satisfactorily for six months, when sud
denly one day the well that had beer
yielding nothing but water began pump

in turn became water well. The
changed situation resulted in IA lawsuit
which was won by the owner of the wei

A STORY ABOUT WHISTLER.

/ spent few minutes among these
etchings, and while there friend told
me a good story which illustrates capt.
tally Whistler's eccentricity. "a friend
of mine," said my informant, "was
wandering through street in London
one rainy, foggy night, about l ! O'Clock
in doubt as to whether he should go to
the club for rubber at whist, or to go
home. What! is that your Why,
how are you, my dear fellow?' He
turned and there was Whistler, just as
wet as he. This is good luck, said the
artist; 'come home with me and have
some beer and acracker.'" So off they
went to Whistler's house, in the sub
urbs somewhere, through the rain and
darkness. Once there the house was as
black as the night. Whistler rang the
bell, but there was no reply. He rang
again and still harder, but apparently
he might as well have tried to wake the
dead. There wasn't a sign of life in
the house. Well, for nearly half an
hour those two men stood at the door
and tried in vain to get into the house,
Whistler, am afraid, swearing at the
stupidity of his servants, while the Wis
ion of quiet chat over the beer and
crackers gradually began to fade from
my friends mind.
Finally, however, the door opened a
few inches and the two men were soon
conducted in very mysterious manner
through the hall and few rooms, not a
ray of light meanwhile being visible.
Here Whistler left his guest for few
moments, and in his absence, 10! the
whole house suddenly blazed with
lights. The doors between the apart
ments were simultaneously thrown open,
and a gorgeous scene precented itself.
In the elegant dining-hall was a table
loaded with all the delicacies of the sea-
son, and set off with the rarest of old
china, and glass in exquisite shapes and
designs. Wines were there in album
dance; and in their proper places were
the buffers and servants, ready to do
their bidding at this sumptuous repast
SThis was Whistler's 'lunch' of crackers
and cheese. The whole affair." said
my friend, was one of Whistler's
strange conceits-his apparently ACCT
dental meeting with me (when he had
probably been hunting for me for hours),
his selection of midnight for such an
escapade, his inability to get into his
house GALL arranged beforehand), and his
| surprise for me when l entered. No
man but Whistler would think of such
thing, and no one else would carry'i II
| out in such perfection as he. There was
| enough for twenty men on the table,
and there we two sat till early morning,
eating and talking of a thousand things"

PLEASE YOURSELF FIRST.

A certain married pair were discussing
the propriety of giving wedding pre-
sent the other evening, and, as might
happen in the best regulated families,
failed to agree as to the object and
price. The lady desired to send a cut
glass pitcher; the gentleman scofled at
the idea, declaring that nothing but
silver would satisfy his taste. After a
very animated session, which finally
terminated in the usual way--tears and
cigars-Madame said she should buy
her own present and Monsieur might
suit himself. The next morning, how
ever, repentance seized both parties,
though still sulking with each other.
The gentleman, hoping to "make up"
with his better half, selected on his
way down town u gorgeous cut-glass
Jug, writing his wife's best wishes on a
card and dispatching it to the expectant
bride. An hour later out sailed his
wife, only intent on buying what should
please her spouse, and thus heap Goals
of fire on his recalcitrant head. The
result was costly gold-lined silver
salad-bowl, accompanied by the best
wishes, etc., written on the gentleman 8
visiting paste-board, which was duly
forwarded to the same address as that
of the cut-glass jug. AT night nothing
was said of this joint maneuvre, each
one wishing to surprise the other by
showing the mote of acknowledgement
when it should arrive. 1t came i'm due
course of time, but it came not alone
The postman brought two notes, which
so bewildered and mystified the re-
ceivers that they INDUCED in another
debate that ended even more disastrously
than the first. The lady declare that
she will never again make concessions,
or wedding presents for that matter
and the gentleman takes refuge in say
ing, at was just like woman' p
Moral: don't try to please anybody but
yourself!

Puzzles to foreigners-We are not
surprised when foreigners tell us that
they find it hard to learn our language.
Take, for instance, the word fast. The
river is fast when the ice is immovable,
and when the ice disappears very fast
the stream il open again. A clock is
called fast when it is quicker than time,
but man is said to stand fast when
he is stock still. People fast when they
have nothing to eat, and they eat fast
when they gobble up great deal in a
short space Of time.

AMERICAN PoETRY.-Only few years
ago American literature claimed as its
leadn z poets Bryant and Longfellow.
Since they died, who has taken their
place? Nobody!
Our three leading poets OF to-day,
Whittier, Holmes and Lowell, are old
men; it is sad to think that their use
full careers must close i'm very few
years. Doubtless none of them will see
the dawn of the Goth century. So far
as the younger poets of to-day are con-
cerned, none, as yet, have given any
tangible proofs of abilities, that with
time and age, might bring them up to
the standard of those We will soon lose.
Brete Harte and Joaquin Miller have
out-written themselves; their best work
is done. Neither Stedman, Stoddard,
Trowbridge, Piatt, nor Aldrich, have
the genius to rise to the requisite height.
Is it not gloomy outlook?
