\ Fallen Oil King.

Among the names in the elegantly
framed historical roster of the once
famous Parker Oil Exchange is that Of
George III. Nesbt. He was one of the
pioneer operators in the Butler county
field. During the summer of 1872 he
and George Dimic created widespread
excitement when the news flashed over
the wires that they had struck 200
barrel well on the Bear Creek fat,
the present site of Petrolia. This eX-
tended the belt to- the southwest from
this place, and wild stampede of pro-
ducers and their followers to the Dmic
a. Nesbt located and named Petrolia,
which they laid cut on exactly the 22e
line from this place. No one but an
old producer can conceive the wild ex-
element that ran along the Bear Creek
Valley, distance of fifteen miles, 10
the southwark of Parker. Oil averaged
1851 during that year. George Mes
bit rode on the flood tide, his cash in
come being at times $50 per day. AS
the oil field widcncd his possessions in
creased until he required several gen.
eral superintendent TO govern his ex-
tensivc operations. In this oil eX-
by brokers and operators, who flashed
his doings TO distant cities interested
in the trade.
When he reached his pinnacle his
lengthy balance sheet showed his
wealth TO be SS00,000 These figures
were seen by reliable eye. At all
events bankers state that he was actual
ly worth hall million, that his word
was gold, and that his signature for q
hundred thousand was cashed. When
the Pittsburg Oil Exchange was located
in the Robinson House, Nesbit was the
ruling power, although 'luck' had
been against him for two or three years.
He bluflcd everybody on the floor. At
last the desperate attempts to regain
heavy losses weakened him financially.
Bad luck, which invariablc follows the
good in speculation, broke him up. In
less than six years his vast accumula-
tons were thus swept from his grasp
For the past two years the throng who
once eagerly crowded about him to
grasp his golden hand and listen to
the financial wisdom from his lips now
hurry along to avoid him. His judg-
ment is quite as good rs when he was
| one of half dozen petroleum kings.

the recollection of great wealth q
few years since caused the attempt to
end all by swallowing poison at Oil

The DowerIess Bride.

My friend do you know that the lady you
To be your partner for life,
Has naught but herself 10 bestow upon you
Inc day she becomes your wiC!
Do you know there are others more fair than
she
Who have jewels and plenty of gold;
VINO nave friends in power In church and
And whose hands hold wealth untold9
Do you know there are hands moro smooth
Whose touch will be just as soft
As the one you have asked TO be given to you
And would hold in your own so oft?
There are those whose charms Will lend equal
grace
To the homes in which they reign,
And those who will wear with not less pride
The honors your bride should gain.
There are many MS good, but not one in the
world
That is truer and better than she;
And II you adhere to your choice for her still
And still Of all others are free,
Then know that her life will be given 10 you
AS completely entirely and whole
As ever man. either present or past,
Was given life to unroll.
But OIL as you value the life you must live,
The future so bright that you prize,
Don't carelessly now take the gem that you
ask,
To have it grow dim to your eyes,
To neglect, or forget, as the years roll away,
That Joy cannot thrive all alone,
Nor to think when the heyday of youth has
been lived
That all Of enjoyment is done.
IT'S life that give. Ali think what il is
IT'S all that have or can have;
And in its own chalice it fain would contain
A world OF bright pleasure and love.
Not sefishly now do ask you TO pause;
For your sake as well as for mine
Let us know ere we kneel ut this altar of God
We may ask for the blessing divine

The Motto of an Old Clock.

An old dial in the Temple, London,
bore the curious motto: "Begone about
your business" The maker, wishing
to know what motto the benchers re-
CURED for the dial, sent his lad to as
certain about it. The boy applied while
the benchers were dining, and one of
them, annoyed at the unreasonable
interruption, said shortly: "Begone
about your business" The lad, think
ing that this was the desired motto, re-
ported it to his master, and the dial
accordingly bore this novel inscription
as long as the building upon which it
was placed remained. The United
States cent, which is usually called the
Franklin cent, because its maxim was
suggested by the philosopher, bore
another legend, "Mind your business"
This has often been misquoted and
altered to mind your own business"
which, of course, has an entirely diff
ferent sense.

The Ugly Alaska Mummy.

1t is not nj all pretty. Externally, it
is bundle about two and half feet
high of clayey-lookjng leather, corded
with rawhidc. Its front is ripped open
to show what is inside. Around the
opening appears n fringe of birds
feathers, large, coarse, matted and
dirty. Within the fringe is the defunct
Alaskan, in Il desiccated and more or
less battered condition. His knees are
drawn up to his chin; his arms are
jammed 10 his sides and folded down
in front of him, so as 10 make him as
compact a bundle as possible. He is
lacking in check, has no nose worth
mentioning, and his eyes are gone, but
he seems TO be grinning. His flesh has
dried and dropped off here and there,
exposing his bones. If shaken out of
his envelope and handled little rough
ly he would probably go all to pieces.
His hair, which is black, coarse,
straight and short, is the best pre-
served part of him. In point of color
he varies in spots from light pipe-clay
to dark sepia, with dull red tinge
here and there.

ceratcd or put through any embalming
process, but has merely been bundled
together as compactly as possible, tied
up tightly in the skins of birds or seals,
and slowed away in caves or crevices
among the rocks. No ornaments, tools,
implements of war or the chase, or
anything else is ever found packed in
with those mummies, or even deposited
near them. Possibly articles of per-
sonal property are SO hard to get
among the Alaskians that they think
the living cannot will spare such things

Ready Made Houses.

A correspondent OF the OLD Colony
Memorial paid n visit not long ago to
Fairfield, Me-, where large establish
ment is located for the production of
these knock down houses, and he says
that few have any idea to what extent
this business has been carried in
Watervllle and its ncighborhood, or TO
what perfection it has been brought.
In the establishment to which we refer
dwelling houses are made, like boots
and shoes, in any quantity, and of any
size or style, and for any market in the
wide world. Not long since this con-
Germ received single order for fifty
houses for Cape May, to be delivered
speedily and in complete finish.
These houses were to be, not sheds
nor shanties, but regularly ordered
dwellings; and they were made accord
ingly and so delivered, and contain
hundreds of occupants ut this moment
An order will be received for II $4,000
hotel, or an ornate, French roof cot
tagc, for fine country estate, and
these as easily and eXpeditiously fur
nished as an ordinary boarding house
for n country village, or barn for
ranch in Kansas or Colorado. Do not
suppose that only n coarse, rough
frame is thus sent out, TO be trimmed
into shape on the spot where it is de-
livered! On the contrary, the house is
complete when it leaves the factory,
and rs ready to go together as is q
musket when it leaves the armory at
Springfield, all the parts being found,
even to the knobs for the doors, and
the screens and shades for the doors
and windows, according to speciiica-
lions. Great trains of freight cars
stand waiting about, and are freighted
almost daily here. The refuse trim
mings and edge cuttings of the lumber
are carted off TO neighboring pulp
mill, and there speedily turned into
material for paper or other products.
Machinery for almost every conceivable
use in connection with wood is ut hand,
and house materials, of any kind or
size or shape, seem to drop out like
meal from Il hopper. In a recent in
stance, where large building was
furnished for n Southern order, the
parts were thus made, and when put
together in the city where the building
is now standing the length of the lat
ter was found to vary not the eighth of
an inch from the original specifications,
although its length on the front num-
bered hundreds of feet. Every inch of
this building, from the sill to the last
shinglc, was sent ready prepared from
this factory, and 'sct up rs readily
and almost rs quickly as nail cask.

Visionary.

| "Shall America Look Forward to a
Reunion with Englandp" was the novel
title of lecture delivered at Washing
ton recently, the concluding one of q
series by Prof. j. X. Hosmer on sub
jects connected with American history
and politics. The professor prefaced
his lecture with brief review OF a new
book, entitled "The Expansion of En-
gland" by Prof. Seeley, author of
''Ecce Homo" In this volume Prof.
Seeley wishes TO oblitcratc all the pres
ent distinctions between England and
her colonies in the manner of govern
ment. He would have them all under
one representative government, ga
great world Venice through which the
seas shall flow, but uniting-not sepa-
rating" A recent prophecy by Rev.
+. Barhan Zincke, chaplain TO Queen
Victoria, was also quoted. 1t is to the
effect that one hundred years from the
present time there will be on the earth
one billion of English speaking people,
and of these eight hundred millions
will have their home in the United
States, which will be the dominant
power among the nations of English
descent. 1t will be the head of and
give character TO the whole group of
Anglo-SaXon nations that is to be.
Our president will be the foremost man
in this sisterhood of kindred nations,
and the American farmer will be the
prevailing type of citizen in all of them.
Taking for granted that there was
considerable ground for this prophecy
in the present tendency of affairs, the
speaker asked if it would not be well
for America to 90 back into q confede-
ration with England and what are now
her provinces, all the different sections
to be united under the government of q
sort of international congress. In this
compact or union the United States as
n whole would be ''the Empire state of
the larger United States" There were
three reasons advanced in favor of the
union. The first of these was senti-
mental one, which was: 1T is pleas
ant thing for kindred to come togeth-
err" which argued for the reunion of
the Anglo-SaXon kindred. The second
reason was that it was step toward
that brotherhood Of the nations which
the benevolent are always anticipating.
The third and most important was that
Anglo-SaXons throughout the world
needed 10 join hands in order TO keep
themselves firmly fixed to the old prin-
ciples of freedom transmitted from
their ancestors. In the course of the
lecture survey of the United States
was taken, the conclusion being that
the condition OF the country with re-
gard TO genuine freedom was far from
satisfactory. The ''town meeting"
which the professor denominates ''the
primordial cell of Anglo-Saxon liberty
has not been preserved in the purity
and efficiency which characterized it in
New England. In the country it is
not in healthy condition, and in city
life it has almost disappeared. Ameri-
ca can do something to more fully es-
tablish her freedom by joining hands
with n confederation to consist of En-
gland and her colonies. They need the
help of America and America needs
theirs. st. Louis Republican.

Downing Rats and Mice.

When once within an old house they
find abundant hiding places, and often
passages from one part of the house to
another made by their predecessors.
Still much may be done to circumvent
them. All visible holes through parti-
tons should be stopped by pieces OF
tin. Old fruit cans, with the solder
melted off answer for the purpose. The
tin may be cut with p..ir of old shears
and tackled over the holes, first punch
ing with an awl places for the tacks.
Where there is hole through plaster
inc. or between stones of the cellar
wall, these may be effectually stopped
with plaster of Paris mixed with coarse
" broken glass. They cannot work
through this. 1t is well to make a
study of the ways of these animals and
follow them up. OF course, after inter
fering with their runs and holes as
much as possible, it is desirable to

A Generous Deed.

A pretty story is told in o late issue
of the New York Tribune. A feeble
old lady, poorly clad, got into a street
car and let a nickel drop, which she
had just received from the conductor
in change. The piece fell in between
the gratings on the floor, and after a
short search was given up as lost-the
old lady too feeble to make the extra
cxertion necessary to recover it. AS
she settled back in her seat with sigh
of regret, gentleman opposite stopped
down and affecting to pick up the miss
ing coin, reached over and placed
something in her lap. He then pulled
the bell and got out. As the old lady
discovered the presence of gold coin
left by the stranger, q gentleman sit.
ting near whispered to her the name OF
