his sincerity. He was demonstrative in his re-

Better and broader than Politician.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
No true husband, no manly man can read Mr..
Blaine's complete unfolding of the facts in the
beginning of his unusually long and happy mar
ried life without feeling that touch Of a noble
and true nature that will make him find in the
writer of such letter something better and
broader than the best and broadcast politician
can be. as such. Mr.. Blaine acted after the in
stincts of frank nature in writing to his init
mate friend and counselor, Mr.. Phelps, the
whole story of his marriage, and in trusting to
the discretion of Mr.. Phelps to publish or with
hold the statements that would forever put an
end to the scandal which is now in the courts so
far as the speech or tolerance Of all decent peo-
pie shall be concerned

would have been better for Mr.. Cleveland if he
had followed Mr. Blaine's example and told the
truth himself, instead of leaving the scandal
about his private character to be hawked about
the country without denial or explanation. he
may not have been able to submit so plausible
a statement as his competitor has, but the truth
might have been better than the exaggerations
that have been spread broadcast.

rolled down a fifteen-foot embankment in rail

ble unfertunate summer generally. But there
b one tding on which he congratulates himself
avery day and twice on Sunday. The best thing
that ever happened to Shoemaker was Mr.
Blaineis removal from Kentucky many years
ago. If Blaine's boys had been brought up in
Kentucky Shoemaker would have died with his
boots on before this date. The Kentucky man is

by the existing laws of Kentucky, has never
died out and is tolerated by the courts and cher
fshed by the people. The tedious delays of an
equity suit which Mr.. Shoemaker has the
benefit Of, are unknown to the shotgun method
Of judicial procedure. The miserable wretch has
good reason to be thankful that it is a Maine

spouting Oil Wells in Russia.

1t is reported that on, the 10th,of Sep
tember last a well was tapped at Baku.
from which petroleum commenced to
spout with a JET 800 feet high, at the
rate of two million gallons daily. Ac-
cording to later official reports, the
fountain was still flowing at The end of
November; and the efforts of the own
ers to stop it had so far only resultedin
checking the outflow to 1000 tons Of oil
per day. During November another
well at Balpl, which has been giving a
regular SUPPLY since 1874, suddenly
commenced to splay, " and threw up s.
600 tons of petroleum every "a hours.
The effect Of this sudden outburst is dis
astrous to the district, pending arrange
ments for disposing of such q vast quan-
tity OF oil. Whole lakes OF crude petro-
leum have been drained into the sea or
set on fire, to get rid Of the liquid, and
the price of petroleulm has sunk to ia d.
per ton on the spot. Thegreat refining
firm OF Nobel Brothers have fourteen
spouting wells capped over and idle, it
being cheaper for them to buy oil than
to use their own. This firm announce
that by next spring they will be able to
distill rs million gallons Of kerosene.
and to transport 80 million gallons. As
yet the Baku oil has only supplied the
Russian, Austrian, and East German
markets via The vo1gn; but a new line
OF railway Just opened will convey the
product to the southern European mar
kets. 1t is believed that oil exists over
l,lW square miles Of the Baku region,
OF which only a small area has been
bored. The supply is regarded as in
exhaustlble, and is expected to keep
down the value ofpetroleum oils in Eu-
rope, Notwithstanding the condition of
the American centre Of production.

Farm

No fixed rules can be laid down for
the management O farms. The soil of
one township may be best fitted for
growing some kinds of grain, while the
adjoining ones can be most probably
devoted to live stock. No two farms
situated side by side are exactly alike.
The distance from market, the demand
for special products, and, not the least,
the individual taste of the farmer, have
all much weight in determining thesys-
tenn of farm management that it is best
to adopt. Those who have given the
most thought to this subject are the
slowest to advise any general system to
be applied TO every farm. It is like o
garment that is intended to fit all per-
sons and suit noue. Every year of
progress made in agricultural knowledge
teaches more forcibly than previous
ones the, truth that a farmer must rely
much upon his own intelligence and
Judgment in working out the best sys-
tenn for his own farm. Evenin1s 80 seem
ingly trihing q matter as the pruning Of

grower must adapt them to tho peculiar
