OIL CRY, PA, Jan. 6.-For several weeks
articles have been published in various
papers charging the United Pipe Lines with
issuing more petroleum certificates than were
represented by oil in the custody Of the lines.
These articles, it is supposed, were published
in the interest of some bear clique, for the pur-
pose of destroying confidence in oil certificates
and creating a panic. Saturday afternoon
the members of the Oil City Exchange took
action on these reports, and in answer to
them unanimously passed the following res
olution:
Resolved, That we have full and unqualified
faith i'll the management of said lines; that their
sworn statements represent their true condition;
that they do not speculate, and under no circum-
stances do they ever issue Certificates unless the
petroleum called for Oy such certificates Ia actu-
ally in the tanks controlled by said lines.
There was not a dissenting voice in the
passage of this resolution, and the oil men
expressed their full faith in the integrity of
the United Pipe Lines, and denounced the
published articles referred to as malicious
and unwarranted by facts.

The SANDERS Against Window Refuted by
Sworn Evidence,

ST. PAUL, Jan. 6.-The campaign of SANDER
in the senatorial contest took a new turn last
night. A package OF atfidavits was received
from Colorado r~etuting the recent attacks on
Senator Window for Western mining trans
actions, etc. One affidavit by William Wolfe,
of Durango, Col, shows that he was APP
preached at the instance, as was asserted, of
George Wilkinson, of Winona, with a propo-
sition to blackmail Window out of $4,000 to
$780, 900. NJ. ]. McCloskey, WINDOWS agent
at Durango, testifes that WINDOWS property
there is only about 50, 900, instead of the fab
ulous amounts claimed, and Robert Dickey,
superintendent of the Tempest mine, testi-
fed that Wilkinson told him he was going
to make it hot for Window, and bust him for
senator if it cost $4,000.

Oh,MyBaCk!

That's a common express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, cold,
rheumatism dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
BRowN's IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and maxi
ing the blood pure and rich.
VIM. P. Marshall, of Logans-
port, Indiana, writes "Mywife
has for many years been trou.
bled from pain in her back
and general debility incident
to her sex. She has taken one
bottle Of Browns Iron Bitters,
and | can truthfully say that
she has been so much benefited
that she %pronounces it the
only remedy of many medi-
cines she has tried"
Leading physicians and
c%lergymen use and recon-
mend Browns IRON BIT

Christmas in Italy.
BY I. B. ToRRIcELLr.

The panorama unfolds to my view dwelling
houses and shops ornamented with branches of
laurel and wreaths of knee-holly; markets
and stores filled with every good thing that
God has made for the comfort of His children !:
kitchens and dining-room alive with mothers
and sisters and girls, preparing for consump-
ton, and disposing in nice order what their
pockets have enabled them to get from the
market and store. Providence will certainly
care for those whose purse refuses to weld the
wanted penny. There are in abundance ca
pons and turkeys, chickens and pigeons, veni-
son and game, beef and pork; vegetables and
fruits of all kinds; pastry and confectionery.
colored and shaped in 50 many ways that it
would be impossible to describe them. ONLY
buyers are wanted, and they come. The
Church herself relaxes her discipline on Christ
mas day; and flesh can be eaten, even when it
happens to fall on Friday. see passing be-
fore me on the panorama all the kind souls
that on Christmas Eve are busying themselves
to find out the many whose limited means will
not allow them to distinguish the morrow
from other days They cannot bear the
thought, that on the birthday of the "Word
made fiesh," there should be anyoaa within
their knowledge and reach who has no flesh to
eat. Then the countryman comes along with
his wife and children, who bring their good
wishes to their lords and ladies, and get in re-
turn token of their satisfaction, in the shape
of things which they could not easily obtain
in the country. The least they receive is al
ways enough to make them feel that on Christ
mas Day there is plenty everywhere. If their
lot fall in with kind landowner it is true
jubilee. have known some who made it a
rule to give receipt in full for the whole year
to any of their tenants whose circumstances
rendered it hard for them to pay their rent.
1t is superfuous for us to say that, among the
preparations for that great day, the working
at and buying of presents occupy a prominent
place. Who is the italian that will not for
Christmas make gift to somebody poorer than
himself? Who does not share with others
what he received, whenever it can be done?
AS to families, they must be poor indeed if
they have nothing to give to children. A gift
to their child on such day is, for an Italian
father and mother, true want; being unable
to bestow it, makes them feel as if God had
forsaken them.

Paolina's Christmas Eve.
BY ATLANTA.
Written for the Press. !


Minnie and Dora Morris were talking to
Paolina Belletti. The three little girls were
having very pleasant time, taking turns
sliding on a delightful strip of ice in the
yard of the house where Paolina lived, and
between slides it was explained to her what
wonderful affair is Christmas day in
America
They lived in beautiful New England
city; the house which was Minnie's and
Dora'S home was on street that sloped
westward toward the arm of the bay that
surrounded the greater part of the town.
Their house was the middle one of a brick
block of three houses. On the street corner
vas a drug store, and around the corner was
an old fashioned yellow house, quite in need
of repair This was the house where Pao-
ly enjoyed going to see the Bellettis, be-
cause their ways and language were so en-
irely unlike anything that the little girls
had ever met before.
Mr.. Morris was builder, who was quite
noted for the pretty houses he constructed
and as Mr.. Belletti's trade was that of a
plasterer and maker of ornaments for cell
ings and cornices, Mr.. Morris had often
helped him to nice piece of work. Mrs
Morris liked the look of Mrs. Belletti; but
as the latter rarely went out of her house
and only knew two or three words of Eng
fish, they could hardly be said to know each
other very intimately. Paolina went to the
same school that Minnie and Dora attended
and her pleasant ways, pretty broken Eng
fish and readiness for fun made her great
favorite. Mrs. Morris liked Paolina very
much. She found her always gentle and
polite, and noticed how patient she was
with the twins. And these same twins
were constant surprise and amusement tc
think there was Dothing unusual about
them.
The little Morrises liked to go home with
Paolina after school, and go through the
plasterer's shop where Mr.. Belletti worked
Whitened all over like dusty miller, smil
ing very much and singing fragments of q
great many Italian songs. Then up the
stairs, which were rather dark and creaked
very much, and which. opened quite sud
denly into Mrs. Beletti's kitchen, where
she was generally found cooking something
in a very small pan over very
small charcoal stove, or rocking the
twins. Minnie and Dora always want
ed to see the twins. They were
four months old, looked precisely alike, and
were much hindered in their movements by
the tight wrappings that italian babies wear.
Minnie and Dora thought it was, on the
whole, rather nice way to dress babies, for
you could take them up with no fear of their
oobbing irresponsibly about, and then they
could be laid down on chair or a table
without risk of their falling off. The ba-
bies were furthermore handicapped by their
names, which were Valerie and Carmelina.
Paolina was very proud of her little brother

Blind ano bitter the storm beat down.
Through the streets of the little town,
Women and men went hurrying fast,
Their troubled glance on the splintered mast
That pitched and tossed just off the shore
Where rocks we're sharp and the tempest tore
In fiercer wrath the treacherous waves
That year by year had made the graves
OF luckless sailors bearing down
On homeward trips to the harbor town.
"Ah, God Forbid the women prayed,
AS the splintered mast rose up and swayed
Like human form against the sky,
"Ah, God forbid that our boys should die
Like this, like this, almost in sight
OF our very eyes on Christmas night
Then such cry was overheard:
"On Christmas night he gave his word
He'd come to me-" ayoung voice cried.
SON Christmas night last year, bride,
waited in this very place.
And saw his smiling, handsome face
On watch for me, as he looked down
Across the bows, upon the town.
She ceased a moment, looking far
Towards the seething harbor bar,
With eager eyes in wondering gaze.
"What ais the girl? has sudden craze
O'ertaken her?'' they whispered there
Who caught her strange expectant stare.
what ailsthe grip when-"Look and see,''
She cried in sudden ecstacy--
They're off the rocks, they're off the rocks,
They've passed the bar, their brave boat rocks
This side of danger, God be praised!"
The crowd about her stared AMAZED:
No human eye the gathering dark
Could pierce like this,-but harkl oh harkl
What sound was that along the tide?
'sFling out your ropesl' an old salt cried,
"The girl is right-they've passed the bar,
They're coming IMP loud huzza
Went out and up from forty throats,
Then into line they swung their boats,
And boat to boat with guard and grid
Of seasoned rope, without word,
They held their place, the trusty score
Of grey old salts, till close to shorel
They caught the sound, they saw the sight
They'd waited fol, and hoarse delight
Rung out again in lusty notes
Along the line of waiting boats.
Then swift and sharp the orders rang,
And "hard, pull hard,'' the sailors sang.
And sailors voices answered back,
From out the driving wreck and rack,
And into port there came at last
With battered hull and splintered mast,
And ragged sails-the. sloop Annette.
Not soon will those who watched forget
The girl-wife's face as full in view
She saw her captain and his crew;
Nor soon forget the words they heard
"God acoatld not let him break his acord.''
When summer suns bring strangers down
To roam about the harbor town,
The grey old salts now tell the tale
OF what befell, that Christmas gale.
And gazing dreamlly afar
Toward the line of harbor-bar,
They whisper in the fading light
sit was a miracle of sight,
For never any eye before
Gould see like that across the shore
And never any sail came down
Like that into our harbor town."
