tor, who said that her duty was to for
give her husband, and, if satisfied that
his reformation was perfect, ought to
consent 10 live with him as before his
dcsertion, she wrote letter of forgive
ness to John, cOnsenting to meet him
il he would come to Boston for that
purpose. Their interview was to be at
the residence of Mr.. Fairbanks, and
Johns former employer was to be
present. They had not many days to
wait after that letter had been sent.
A iine-looking man of nearly forty
years of age made his appearance, one
morning, at the residence of Mr.. Fair
banks, accompanied by another gentle
man. They were shown in the same
parlor that had been the witness of
another scene nearly ten years before.
That same picture of the lady met the
gaze of John Pennewell, and he, too,
thought there was something in the
face that looked familiar to him. A
few minutes later wife and husband
were in each others embrace; and let
us hope that the tears that were shed
were some compensation for the sad
events of their ten years separation!
The reconciliation was complete. Billy
felt as proud of his father as he of his
son. Arrangements were soon made
for their removal to the west; but be-
fore leaving Mrs. Pennewell had a long
consultation with her benefactor, who
felt very sad at the compulsory separa-
tion, though not interposing any obsta-
cles to dissuadc her, as he saw that the
future look so promising both to the
husband and wife. They left Boston
for the west, and Mrs. Pennewell
carried with her a sum of money suni-
cient to purchase a comfortable resi-
dence for their future home, the gift of
her kipd bencfactor. The result of
this reconciliation proved all they had
anticipated. The one error ofa thought
less and imprudent young man had
worked out a happy redemption.

The editor of the Sub-SoilGr greets
the new year with some very ap-
propriate reflections. How many of
us, he asks, feel like making new
resolutions, or strengthening old ones;
that we will endeavor to lead better
lives this year than we did the last, or
perhaps have ever done in the past? 1t
is duty wenot only owe to society and
to our country, but to ourselves, to
grow better, wiser, and more useful,
continually. But how many are doing
so? How many even think of thisp Is
the number large, think you; or is it
smallP lie who would make such ad-
vancement must be up and doing. He
must neither sleep at his post or idle
away his working hours. He must
not stop to kick at every little obstacle
that he may find in his pathway
through life. He should fix his eyes on
some goal of usefulness; and as the
new year will soon come in, let every
day find him step further on and a
step higher up toward that goal. Let
drones play truant, if they like. Let
prodigals, waste their substance, time,
manhood, and means, in riotous living.
Let them debase themselves by looking
down and groveling among the vices Of
the land, and die unwept, unhonored,
and unsung; but let those who appre-
ciate the talents given them by Him
who created and rules all things, strive
to make themselves benefactOrs, that
it may be said of them when they are
gathered to that ''far off shore" that
the world was better for their having
lived in it. The beginning of New
Year is good time to make new reso'
lutions, provided they are good ones
and we hope all our readers will dc
this, and that 1888 will be to them and
to our eptire country happy and
prosperous year.

Texas Sftlngs.
1t has been, for some time past, the
private opinion of Gould, Vanderbilt,
and other noted American philanthro-
pists; that it was a sacred duty congress
owed the American people to pass some
stringent law protecting monied mo-
nopollsts from the schemes of poor,
but designing, men and boys.
The Standard Oil Company, which is
believed to be the biggest monopoly out
of jail, so to speak, has been very much
mortified by sixteen-year-old boy
named Mike Keatings, who is carrier
of kilograms in Oil City. He has been
carrying dispatches ever since he has
been able to run. The operators in
petroleum send their dispatches in cy-
pher, which nobody but themselves
can read, Mike excepted. The brokers
did not teach Mike to read the cypher,
but from carrying so many of their dis
patches, and keeping his eyes open,
Mike became so proficient that he could
read the cabalistic cypher as readily as
the sign of corner grocery store.
Mike is a modest boy, and did not go
to the oil brokers and boast openly Of
having taught himself to read their dis
patches, but they found it out them
selves.
Not long since there was an extraor-
dinary rise in oil, and in few days it
rose from so cents to Sl.35. The mo-
nopoly had laid its plans to boom the
market. Mike discovered this from
the dispatches of the Standards brok-
ers, but what could a poor orphan
boy sixteen years old do with
out any capital, except his aged
parents, who had to be sup
ported ont of his scanty earnings?
Mike went to one of the largest operat-
ors in oil, and offered to give him pri.
vate lessons in reading. The merchant
glanced disdainfully at the youth, but
when Mike explained that he was quail
fed to impart instruction in the art of
reading the cipher dispatches of the
Standard Oil Company, then the broker
conceived great admiration for the
orphan boy who had to support his
aged parents. The next message that
fell into Mikes hands was carried to
the brokers' office and translated, The
broker took in Mike as a silent partner,
and they together took in the Standard
Oil Company for about 100000, of
which Mike, the poor little orphan boy,
got half, which goes to show that
knowledge is power, and that the time
spent in learning to read cipher dis
patches is not thrown away. The
Standard Oil Company brought influ-
ences to bear on the telegraph company.
and Mike was dismissed under the
civil service reform rules; and now the
poor orphan, having lost his salary of
three dollors week, has to use some
of the $4,000 he got out of the Stand
ard OIL people, all of which goes to
show that congress should take meas
ures to protect monied monopolies
from the schemes of designing orphan
boys, who are trying to learn all by
themselves how to read cypher dis
patches.

THE FLOODS srLOUlsyILLE'


LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 10 The flood
is undated, and it is believed the
river will come to a stand by nightfall.
No additional loss of life is reported,
One hundred additional dwellings and
business houses are overilowed. AL
manufactures near the river are closed
and a thousand workmen are out OF
employment. No business is being
done. Transfer and express wagons
traverse every street, stopping at all
houses. Citizens are filling them with
contributions to sufferers.
The water-works in the extreme
eastern limit beyond the point, and cut
off. held out bravely against the floods,
but succumbed this morning. The ma
chincry is stopped, but two large
basins filled with millions of gallons are
not thought to be in much danger.

dips and coil oil lamps to the front.

A patient in hospital in Cremona,
Italy, is astonishing the medical world
by his feats in the way of eating. After
an attack of pleurisy, he developed an
abnormal taste for pebbles. iron nails
and knobs of glass. This unnatural
appetite has increased with years, and
he now daily eats fifteen to twenty
pebbles a day, each weighing over
three ounces. He thinks nothing Of
taking dozen or two of iron
nails. His favorite diet, however, is
glass balls of convenient size, polished
so as to admit Of an easy passage
down the throat. All this seems in
credible, but the fact is vouched for
by DR.. Cosoi and other noted Italian
physicians.

There is much speculation as to the
salaries paid railroad officials and en-
ployes filling important positions in
railway managements. For various
reasons, it is very difficult to deter
mine the amounts received by this class
of men. The pay-rolls cannot be taken
as evidence, as in many instances the
vouchers drawn from time to time for
what is classed as especial service"
fully equal the sum named on the pay
rolls. In the west general managers
receive from $4,000 to $1,000 per
year; general superintendents from &c.
900 to $4,000; assistant general super
intendents, $4,000 to SS,000 general
traffic managers, $1,000 to $4,000;
auditors, S., 900 to $4,000; division SUI
perintendents, $3, 900 to 50, 800; genei al
master mechanic, 5000 per month;
master mechanic, 1925; general fore
men, 800 to S125; master car-builders,
5000; car foremen, 800. In addition
to these salaries the officials are provi-
ded with one or more business cars,
which are furnished with all necessaries
and provisions, the company paying
the expenses of all, including the salary
of an attendant. These cars and con-
tents are at the disposal Of superintend-
ents, managers and general agents.
An official states that frequently among
the bills rendered against the depart
ments are found those reading: "One
dozen Mumm's Extra Dry, $50, etc.

1t is no use to attempt to estimate
the extent of the damages. The city
will lose an immense sum from dam
ages to streets and fills. The western
outfall sewer break cannot be repaired
for less than S200,O00. One factory in
New Albany loses S125,0O0. Ten
thousand people are driven from home
in the three cities. Some lose their
houses, some their furniture, some
both, and all are more or less damaged.
The people represent about 2,OO1
families, and loss of $3.50 for each
family, a small estimate, will swell the
individual loses to half Il million. Then
the damage to lumber men will reach
$4,000, and the injury done to fac
tories, mills, foundries and railroads
will bring the grand total away up in
the millions.

How to Get RID Of Rabbits.

Democrats Monthly for March.
In this country rabbits are the play
things of children, but in other parts
of the world they are an actual plague,
because of their rapid multiplication.
In Austria, large sections of country
have been deserted, as the planters
could not contend against the multi
tudc of crop-devourng, rabbits. In
Jamaica, also, there was actual danger
that the isle would be depopulated, be-
cause of the impossibility of saving the
crops from the ravages of the rabbits.
Various attempts have been made to
get rid of these pests. The rattle ant
Qormica omnivora) was tried and was
eitcctual in some localities, but un-
fortunately they also killed birds,
chickens, puppies and occasionally
calves. The Aqua toads as remedy
proved as bad as the disease; that is,
they destroyed all ground birds and
chickens. Ferrets and fox terriers
were also tried, but did not kill as
many as were born of the rabbit tribe.
In 1872, however, nine mungooSes
were introduced direct from India. In
that country, the mungoose does 4
