How Oil Barrels Came to be
 Painted.


 During a long voyage or long journey by rail sometimes half a barrel of oil would leak through the pores of the wood and evapo- rate. So some sharp fellow began to study some way of pre- venting such loss. He first painted the barrel blue on the outside and then filled it with water and al lowed it to stand until it had soaked up all it would. Then the oil was put in. The water kept the oil from soaking in the wood, and the paint on the outside kept the water from coming out. He got patent on hls discovery, and now he sits in his office and draws his royalty of one cent on every barrel made to hold kerosene oil for shipment.-New York Mail.

The Preservation of Negro DiaIec
 Hymns.

Hymns.
 Correspondence Salt Lake Tribune.
 An old colored woman of Atlanta was asked how their dialect hymns were brought into existence. She answered.:
 "Well, I reckon de spirit was a crowdin' an dey jess had to come out"
 good definition of inspiration, wasit nots
 Among the more intelligent negroes I find a strange disposi- ton to eschew those wonderful slave songs. The young men and women of Atlanta University seem to share, in measure, this slightly contemptuous estimation of the old melodies, I suppose it is be- cause their awakening intelligence associates them with the degrada- tion of thelr race, and they have not the penetration to see that these wonderful hymns embody the very genus of their people.
 Another fact makes it hard to gather togethersa a reliable collec  tion; the various hymns are sung differently in different localities, so that frequently two versions of the same piece would hardly be recognized as akin. This was the inevitable result of the illiteracy of the negro, whereby both words and music were unwritten for so long time.
 It is a matter of regret to me that in most of the Southern city colored churches an effort has been made to discard these planta- ton melodies, except is social re- ligious meetings.

Jefferson Davis i'm His Home Upon
 the Gulf of Mexico.

Jefferson Davis i'm His Home Upon
 the Gulf of Mexico.
 Perhaps the most notable resi- dence along this warm, sandy sea bank is that of Jefferson Davis. They call him President Davis here. They speak of him with great respect Jefferson Davis is not deifed at all, as some writers foolishly say. But, I repeat, he IS greatly respected. And when you bear in mind that there is not one of these 10,0OO,0O0, peo- pie who did not put some sort of sacrifice on the altar of the South ern opinion, you will not be sur prised. This man stands as a token to them. Personally, l think they see little of him, these grey old mothers whose sons went down in battle, these beautiful girls of the South whose fathers never came back any more; but they have their memories and their tradition. They call him Presi- dent Davis, and will continue to do so while he lives. A great many Northern people visit Mir. Davis, and not with the noblest motives. l am told he has many more visi- tors from the North than from the South.
 "Beauvoir" is not a part of this long and roomy place, strictly speaking, nor is it watering place, but an old plantation bequeathed to the great Mississippian not many years since. It is a beauti- ful spot among the pines and vines, but is sadly dilapidated. Davis is a poor man, I am told, and can not afford to keep the place up. It is set a little back from the sea and not to close to the railroad.
 Of course the desire to see this man, now in the last days of his historical and tempestuous life. is irresistible when almost within call. And, in spite of all my for mer resolutions, 1 yielded. For, it must be admitted that, whether good or bad, whether entirely wrong or entirely right, this man has been, is, and must forever re- main a colossal figure in American history, and to have seen and con- versed with him is sweet to re- member as the years go on.
 MT. Davis is, at this writing, in poor health. I should say, from what I have seen, and then from the course of nature, too, with his threescore and ten years behind him, that he will not long be sub ject of either love or hate; for, in spite of this climate, he has found the winter terrible. He cannot sur vive another such.

Willard at Berlin.

Henry Willard is living quietly at Berlin. He severed the last re- maining tie that bonnd him to America only a short time ago by resigning the position of fpresident of the Oregon & California rail way. When his blind pool was in swing and the Willard stocks were at their highest figures he was worth, on paper, S5,0OO,000. His fall was tremendous and hls wreck was complete. Out of the chaos he saved S50O,OO0, and that repre- sents the fortune he took to Berlin to settle down on.

There is about S4,0OO,OOO in vested in wild animals in the United States, not including ele- phants. There are sixty elephants in the United States, ranging in price from S3,OO0 to S20,000 If an elephant is trained and acclimated it will bring S2O,OO0. But those that are stupid and cannot be trained never bring over S3,000 or S4,OOO. In my opinion it will be a great many years before wild animals will become cheaper, no matter how civilization and colo nization advances in Africa.

DIREFUL FAMINE.
The Starving People of West Virginia.
Urgent Need of Help from Abroad.
PETERSBURG, Va, June

PETERSBURG, Va, June 8.
The situation in Jackson county, West
Va, is becoming quite serious. Hundreds of
families are on the verge of" starvation and
unless aid is speedily extended by the remain
der of the State or the outside world. the
most disastrous results NAV be expected.
Some. of the more fortunate and influential
people Of the county, and others who believed
the condition of the inhabitants exaggerated,
have heretofore denied the reports from time
to time made public, hoping that things could
be tided over till new crop could be raised !;
but now much alarm prevails and public
meetings are being held in all the villages,
and the local papers are printing appeals for
aid. Last week meeting were held at White
Pine and New Kentuck, at which scores of
citizens representing their respective neigh
borhoods testified as to the extent of the
famine. Many pitful stories are being told.
Hiram Cobb, owner of mill, said that peo-
pie would come at the rate of dozen day,
having walked a long distance, begging for a
pint or quart of meal. And sometimes bring.
ing half peck of grain or few ears of corn
to be ground. He knew men who had gone
for five days without food, and he himself
would soon be a sufferer. j. II. Garrett said
his neighbors were actually starving.
John Smith, county assessor, said that to
his knowledge, 80 families we're in danger OF
starving at New kentuck. An appeal for aid
was signed by the representatives of 100 fam
lilies. These are but special stories. One
family is said to have subsisted for five DAYS
on lettuce, and when found were nearly dead.

SERIOUS COLLISION.
Two rains Brought Together Through
the Carelessness of an Engineer.

BosToN, June s.
A serious accident occurred on the Old
Colony railroad at $50 this morning, be-
tween the South Boston and Crescent avenue
stations train leaving Boston for Malta
pan at %. ran into the incoming South
Braintree train near the switch on the bridge
over the New York & New England track.
Engine No. 25 of the Mattapan train crashed
through engine No. 27 of the South Brain
tree train, knocking away the latters smoke
stack, cow-catcher and headgear, piercing the
boiler and smashing the cylinder. The cab
of 27 was also badly smashed, as was also
the platform of the baggage car on the same
train. Engine 35 was also badly damaged
in front. and forward the trucks OF both loco
motives were forced from their gearing and
twisted at right angles with the track. The
engineers and fremen of both engines Jumped
before the collision took place, and one en-
gineer was slightly injured. No passengers
were hurt but all were considerably shaken
up. large number of panes of glass were
broken in the cars of both trains. The pass
engers o! several trains. including the New
York boat train, were obliged to walk in
from the scene of the accident. Traffic will
be somewhat interfered with for some time
1t is not known precisely to whom the
blame for the accident should be attached
but as the Mattapan train should have
switched of at the bridge, and had not yet
reached the switch when the accident oc-
CURED, it would appear on the surface as if
the driver of engine No. "a was in fault
At the time of the collision, Conductor
Ellis was collecting tickets, and the shock
threw him down, severely injuring his right
hip and back. He was taken to his home
Baggage Master Saunders was in the rear
car. and was also violently thrown to the car
floor. Conductor Holman was also consid-
erably shaken up. and soon after the acci-
dent went to his home. Engineer Foss
jumped when he saw the collision was inevit-
able, and sprained his shoulder. The acci-
dent was stated to have been caused by the
neglect of the engineer of one of the trains
to obey the danger signals. Saturday night
workmen began to repair the bridge over the
N. Y. & N. f. railroad, and all trains were
switched upon single track.
The managers of the road took every pre-
caution to prevent an accident, stationng
men at each swith and another on the look
out. The men were at their posts this morn
ing, and the signals properly set. The out
ward train came up and stopped, and was
signalled to go ahead and at the same time
the danger signal was set at the other end of
the break. The outward train had Just
crossed the bridge when the upward train
(the South Braintree train> dashed up. The
engineer paid no heed to the danger signal,
and as result the collision occurred.

Riel's Position aud the Causes of the
Revolt.

Sr. Paul, Minn., Juue 8.
Archbiship Tsche, who passed through st.
Paul, Minn., Saturday, enroute from VIM
nepeg to Montreal, said to q reporter:
The report that l left hurriedly for the
East TO intercede for Riers life is false in
every particular do not think any effort
will be made in Riefs behalf except to en-
gage good counsel to def, nd him. His Ian
guage in regard to the clergy since his arrest
has considerably decreased the sympathy for
him, and l think that whatever remains Is rather
an opposition to the government on the part of
Liberals than friendship or sympathy for Riel.
| do not think the real cause of the outbreak
is understood. OF course the half breeds
we're indignant that the government was so
slow in settling their claims, but the true
cause was this: They felt that they were
looked down upon and regarded and treated
with contempt by the new settlers and bv the
officials and people generally. This feeling
ranked terribly and grew. At last they took
up arms. They did not anticipate that the
government would ever send an expedition
against them. They merely expected to have
to cope with the mounted police. There
were only 250 half-breeds concerned In this
revolt and about l50 Indians at or near Ba-
touche. OF these at least so were unarmed
and the others were very poorly armed.
They hoped to defeat the police and thus
compel respect from them and force the
government to accede to their claims. | be-
lieve that Riel is completely insane at times,
and not responsible tor his actions.
