Every Point in Her Favor.

1t was in an East Boston ferry horse
car. She was slight, delicate, and
standing up. He weighed over 200
pounds, and was sitting in the corner
by the rear door, Suddenly he jumped
from his seat to ask the conductor a
question. She (innocent, unthinking
creaturc) thought he meantto leave tho
car, and SO she slid into tho seat he had
just vacated, Soon he concluded the
interview with the conductor, and be-
gan to slide back into his seat again.
The little woman saw tho proportions
of the bulky form gradually assume
frightful magnitude and very alarm
ing proximity. Quickly digging her
elbow into the ribs of her neighbor,
whose head and beard looked like o
bundle of saffron, she interested him
sufficiently in the jeopsrdy of her situa-
ton to induce him to raise his colossal
fist and 'fend off, the settling mon

of horror upon the mans face when he
received vigorous thrust in the small

In the same year America produced l.
45O, COG, 600 gallons. Commenting on
these figures, Ludwig Nobel Says that
the same amount could annually be
produced at Baku without the slightest
difficulty. but that. at present it would
be useless to do so, owing to difficulties
OF cheap transport. As it is. great
stores lie waste for lack Of purchasers,
and the amount wasted is fully equal
to that which is exported.
As regards price, which in America
has varied from tenpence to one penny
per gallon, it has at Baku tluctuated
from one shilling and eightpence to one
penny. In like manner, the barrel of
forty gallons of crude petroleum, which
in the days Of monopoly sold at Baku
for eight shillings, has latterly fetched
fourpence, and BY the latest accounts
was further reduced to threepence
halfpenny per ton on the spot! This is
due to the enormous increase in the
supply. Thus, last November steady.
going old well, which for the past ten
years has been quietly yielding fair
amount of oil, suddenly commenced to
play, and thenceforth threw up daily
average of five hundred tons!
The supply is apparently altogether
inexhaustible, for already twelve thous-
and square miles In this region have
been proved to be oleifcrons, and of
this vast surface only six miles are as
yet being developed. The oil-bearing
stratum is found to extend beneath the
Caspian Sea, where it crops up in Te-
heliken, true isle of oil, which literal

Caspian Petroleuna.

OF the relative merits Of Pennsylvan-

orally that the former yields on an av-
erage seventy per cent. Of kerosene,
with large residuum Of lubricating

As regards quantity, in the year 1879
only 212, 600 barrels wero saved from

Dolly 1Ia1ison's Tact.

Dolly Madison was the prince of en-
tertainers. She never forgot name OF
q face. and scores Of stories arc afioat
here regarding her memory and her
kindness. One old story which is cur
rent is in reference to green youth at
the White House who was standing up
at one of the receptions there, when
she, seeing that he was embarrassed,
came up and attempted to make him
more at home. The boy was drinking
q CUP of coffee, and he had about hall
finished it. When he saw Mrs. Madi-
son coming he was so frightened that
he emptied the rest Of his coffee into
the saucer, and put the cup into his
pocket. Mrs. President Madison at
once engaged him in conversation,
asked after his family and every one Of
his forty-second cousins, and treated
him so well that he soon forgot his en-
barrassment. He managed to remove
the cup from his pocket during the
talk, and drank . second cup with his
hostess before he left.

When the Woods Turn Brown.

How will It be when the roses fade.
Out OF the garden and out of the glade?
When the fresh pink bloom Of the sweet-brier
wild,
That leans from the dell like the cheek Of .
child,
Is changed for dry hips on thorny bush2
Then, scarlet md carmine. the groves will
flush.
How will 1t be when the autumn flowers
Wither away from their leadess bowers;
When sun-fOwer and arlflOwer. and golden
rod
Glimmer no more from the frosted sod,
And the hillside hooks are empty and c0ld2
Then the forest tops Will be gay with gold.
How will It be when the woods turn brown, !.
Their gold and their crimson al dropped
down,
And crumbled to dust?
o, then az We lay
Our ear to Earth's lips. We shall hear her say,
I'm the dark l am seeking new gems for my
crown
We will dream of green leaves, when the
woods turn brown.

The Coming Revolution in
Farming.
(Fr0m the Spectat0rJ.

y new hope has arisen among the aGri-
culturlStS of this country since the revival
Of the ancient system of EnSilage-the pre-
servation of green fodder in pits-set in.
AT a time when the prospect of obtaining
TemuncratlVe prices for corn seems utterly
hopeless, the introduction Of a system
which promises to increase to an enormous
extent the facilities for producing meat
and milk is particularly S%eaSonable. Every
year We hear Of great new wheat-producing
areas being opened up by railways, while
recent events nave proved that the reSOur-
ceS OF old countries, such as Russia and
India, have been only half developed. SO
numerous are our sources of wheat supply
already, hat we are beginning to regard
a short crop in the United States as a mat
ter of comparative inSignifcance. The crop
OF 1855 Ill that great country was a very
poor one, and yet prices here kept going
down almost constantly during The cereal
year, III spite of the most extensive wheat
''Ting" ever formed on the other side of the
Atlantic. Qnite recently the Argentine
Republic has become a great wheat-eXpOrt-
ing country, and now we are told that the
resources OF Mexico, if properly developed,
will suffice to add enormously to the wheat
supply of the world. From Australia and
NC" AedldHu We get lHcredSeu supplies at
a period Of the year when we most need
new wheat, keeping us, with the help of
the large stock of old wheat shipped from
Russia as soon as the Baltic is open to
navigation, well supplied till the new crops
of the United States and India are ready
for export.
Under all the circumstances, there APP
pears to be no chance of remunerative
prices for British Wheat-OrOWerS of the
present generation, unless rents should 60

With deep and sincere sorrow do we
chronicle the departure from this life of the
Reverend John ClarkSon Dubois, d. d.,
Rector of Saint Paul's Church, Frederik-
sted, Ste. CroiX and Her Britannia Males
TVS Vice-Consul at that Town. The Rev
erend Gentleman was born in the Island of
Tortola, OF the Virgin Group, fifty-six years
ago. He was sent to the United States for
his education, and entered Trinity College,
where he graduated, and from which Insti,
tuition he obtained his degrees. He re-
ceived the Order of Priesthood in Ameri-
ca, and Immediately returned to Ste. Croix,
where his parents had taken up their resi-
dence. On his arrival in that island, the
Parish of st. Pauls being without a Rec
tor, the Incumbent having died, he, at first
temporarily filled the post, and was ap
pointed to the Parish shortly after, and
entered into his first and only ministration
of the Church.
After the death of bis Father, he sue

Frederiksted at O'clock this afternoon.
After the Church of England Service there

Opening of the Ellis villa College.

Yesterday was busy day at the insti-
tuition. Quite early in the morning par
ents began to arrive with their daugh-
ters, ready to begin their school work,
and it required the assistance of several
Of the faculty to show them around the
commodous building prepared for their
accommodation. All were delighted
with the arrangements, and though there
is much work to be done. yet enough
has been completed TO make the College
very pleasant home even in its un-
finished state. There is room sufficient
on the first floor to make the boarders
comfortable as they arrive, and the
upper rooms will be ready by the last OF
the week. The fact that the whole
building is finished in the natural wood,
and this requires no painting, renders it
possible to occupy the rooms rs fast as
they are out of the carpenters hands.
To-day all were gathered into the
beautiful and spacious school hail, and
after appropriate opening exercises. the
school work was taken tup. Twenty
boarders have already arrived and
large number are yet to be heard from.
The examination will begin at o'clock
to morrow, "Wednesday morning, and
by the last of the week the work will be
thoroughly organized and the school in
proper running order.

every morning at $ o'clock, and the Ma

About western Rusiness.

CHICAGO, Sept. l6. = The Western
Railway Conference adjourned at l 80
O'Clock. A general plan was submitted
by the committee for the formation of q
fair pool on California and Colorado
busi ness, to the East and West OF the
n issouri river. 1t was adopted.
At the afternoon conference the forma,
adoption Of the pooling arrangement to
cover Colorado aud California business
was decided upon, contingent, however,
upon settlement of the Nebraska
business, or in other words rearrange-
mont of the tripartite pool to meet the
wishes OF all The Omaha roads. The
general conference then adjourned and
the Omaha roads took up the discussion
OF Nebraska business. Vice. President
Potter of the Burlington made proposi.
tion for the pooling Of Nebraska traffic,
the Burlington to receive its prorata Of
Nebraska business, and also the local
traffic Of the Union Pacific, waving oil
claim to the competitive business of the
Union Pacific in Nebraska. This was
voted down. The Northwestern then
moved that the Burlington receive its
prorata Of all local and competitive bust
ness Of the Union Pacific, and this,
naturally was also voted down, the
Rock Island and St. Paul voting in the
negative on both propositions. The
conference then adjourned till 0 o'clock

place and torch in the midst Of about q
dozen Irishmen. every one over 40 years

the Democratic ticket and shall do so
until die." These remarks drew some
attention. "I voted the first time for
