A SABBATH OIL WELL.
A Story OF the Days OF the Oil Ex

There are few of the old oilmen,

of the oil regions began on Oil Greek,

Buchanan farm, at Housewife. 1t was
the first flowing well ever struck in the
oil regions, and it developed peculi-
arity of ceasing to flow at IL o'clock
Saturday night, and starting again on
Monday morning, that gave ii the
name of the Sunday well.
1t was located on lease ten rods
square, and the post-officc building of
Housewife was afterwards put on the
lease where the we'll was. Drilling
was done with spring pole. Drive
pipes were used to reach the rock. for
which $25 point was paid. On Janu-
airy II, 1861. the we'll had reached d
depth of 191 feet, and was on top of
the first sand. BY this time there were
dozen producing wells in the vicinity,
all pumping, and all drilled wet, rs
was Mr.. Curtis also. A hard shell
was struck on the top of the first sand,
on which they drilled for long time,
the light tools of those days making
very little impression on it. At last 1t
was broken, when the oil suddenly be-
gan to flow. Not expecting flowing
we'll. there was no tankage up, but the
planks were on the ground for it. In
those days square tanks were built.
The we'll flowed strongly, and a large
stream of oil ran down the creek. Eff
forts were at once made to obtain bar
rels, and the tank was pushed to COM
pletion as rapidly rs possible. To save
the oil until the tank was up large
hogshead was obtained and placed In

being done for the relief of the banks. The
opinion Is expressed that the knowledge of
this fact and fear Of consequent contrac-

the reluctance of congress TO suspend the
coinage of silver dollars. While 1t Is admit

The w0oer OF a Princess.

The gossip in relation to the Grand
Duke of Hesse and the Queens daugh-
ter Beatrice still continues. 1t is now
said that the Duke did marry the fas-
cinating divorced Nine. De Kalamire
in consequence of promise extracted
from him by the lady. This fact, it is
understood. the grand duke admitted
to his mother-in-law in a confession
which the queen drew from him at
Darmstadt. Thu reason why he gave
this promise is variously stated. Some
say that the grand dukes gallantries
with Nine. De Kalamire had gone 10
the verge Of indiscretion, and that he
had thus given her power over him
which she had not hesitated to use.
According to others, the lady has sue
cessrully worked upon the fears of the
grand duke, who was particularly
anxious to have no breath of the ihrea-
tened scandal mar the marriage fete Of
his daughter, Princess Victoria, and
that, in fact, Nine. De Kalamlre has
played the part of successful black
mailer. The lady has been a resident
of the Hessian capital now for nearly
four years. She was married at st.
Petersburg at the age Of 25 to NJ.

afterward appointed secretary to the
Russian legation at Hesse, of which the
Count de Haeltzke Is chief, and went

very beautiful, but the freedom of her
manners and the reported looseness Of
her morals soon made her the subject
of much unfavorable gossip In the staid
German capital. 1t was not long be-
fore the grand dukes name was sadly
mixed up IN some Of the scandals which
were whispered about the court. Fin
ally NJ. De Kalamlre sought and OBJ
tanned an absolute divorce from her,
and since that time the lady and the
grand duke have been a great deal in
each others company. All these facts,
it is now said, are filly known to Queen
Victoria. Her majesty has, however,
pardoned the grand duke on the
strength Of his explanation as to the
limited character of his matrimonial
alliance with the Russian widow, and
he has entered into an obligation that
the marriage shall not be consummated,
and that his relations with Nine. De
Kalamire shall be deemed to have ter
minated with the performance of the
marriage ceremony which took place
between them. These explanations

taches to the whole affIir, and the
queens conduct is bitterly censured.

An Old Duke.

By the recent death Of the old Duke
Of Buccleugh, the deceased peer was in
the 77th year of his age, we are reminded
of a good story he himself used to re-
late with much apparent gusto. On
one occasion when certain right royal
parsonage was spending few days with
the Duke at Dalkeith, bis country seat
near Marlborough, his Royal Higbness'
valet begged the favor of an interview
with his masters host. Fire away"
said the Duke, who dearly loved joke,
and formed an idea from the lacquey's
manner that some hing funny was
about to happen. ''If it please your
grace" said the aunkey, 81 find that
in this 'ouse am expected to take my
meals with the servants in their living
room. Now, at 'ome me and the house
steward and the butler always dimes by
surselves, and this is the first time
when me and his 'ighness have been a
visiting that I've been asked to eat
with the common servants-I always'as
my meals served in my own room."

the utmost gravity throughout the in.
terview 81 don't myself understand
much about the etiquette observed in
the servants hall, but as you appear to
be dissatisfied with the arrangements
for your accommodation, you had bet
ter ask your master to let you dine with
him and me, You ale quite welcome
to as far as am concerned" This re-
tort effectually put an end to the gen.
tleman's grumbling, and during the re,
mainder of the Princes visit Mr..
Lacquey took his seat at the servants
table uncomplainingly.

Oriental SplendOr.

e20O, 900 have been spent on the festIvi-

Kiosk, and filled with the finest new
furniture; great dinners were given at
which all the dishes were Of pure gold;
Jewels were showered on the Imperial
pair. and festivals were arranged after
the old Turkish style, with the whole of
the immense court, thousands of troops,
and the entire fleet taking part in them.
All this is intended to conciliate the
future ruler of Austria, and so induce
him not to desire to extend his domiui.
on to the Hgean. One wonders what
the effect Is. Usually sovereigns do not
love hosts who outshlne themselves; and
Prince Rudolph, meditative man, with
taste for ornithology, may be apt to
think that provinces which support all
that without audible murmuring must
be provinces worth having. The sight 4
of the Sea of Marmora is not one to
cure sovereigns, whose dominions may
stretch down to it, Of covetousness.

Interprets every tear,
Hath nghtened on us from on high,
Made known His presence near
The Word takes flesh, the Spirit form,
His purpose to fulfill;
He comes in person of the storm
Our God who governs still
We saw-all OF us saw-how He
Drew sword and struck the blow.
And up and free through their Red Sea
He let the captives go;
Yea, we have seen Him, clearly seen
Him work the miracle;
We know, what'er may intervene,
Our God Is with us still
The veil of time a moment falls
From off the Eternars face;
Recede the old horizon walls
To give fresh breathing space;
And all who lift their eyes may learn
1t is our Fathers will
This world to him shall freely turn,
