STRUCK OIL.
From the HIgginsville Advanced

From the Hlgginsville Advanced
While sinking to find solid founda-
ton for pillar of the bridge they are
building over Cottonwood creek two
miles north of this city, spring of oil
was struck. A gentleman present,
who saw it, says it is equal to the quail
ity of oil produced by the Virginia
oil wells. This will be Investigated
further.
That is an oil neighborhood, in
which good deal of money has been
spent sinking experimental wells. There
is no doubt, we believe, as to the quail
ity of the petroleum found there, the
trouble has heretofore been to find it
in paying quantities. We should be ex-
ceedingly glad if in this case that could
be done.

Spring.

Spring.
When smiling spring with twinkling feet
Through mead and woodland gayly dances,
The happy birds with carols sweet
Salute the maid as she advances;
Then verdure decks again the vale,
And early flowers are found In bunches,
And men resort to beer and ale,
And give up drinking whisky punches.
A Good Reason.
Why does she hold her head so high
And look so supercilious,
And pass the other maidens by
As If they made her bllIons2
Well may she proudly walk the street,
The while her pride Increased:
Her crazy outfit IS just complete,
Made Of ten thousand pieces.

Upon my arm she placed her hand,
So soft and white, i Il0n4ed to seize It.

What could do but gently sqeeze itf
Her waist was then within my reach.
And, when SO near to me ] found it,
Ispent no precious time In speech,
But softly put my arm around it.
This brought quite near her ripe, red lips
Sweet lips! Could mortal man resist 'em

And drew them nearer and kissed em

I 'HOLERA is rapidly NOV
ing westward and will soon
0appear in this country. In
order to prevent disastrous
effects from its ravages every
preventive should be en-
ployed, and the system
should be in perfect condi-

year the system is in weak
state and easily susceptible
to dangerous disease. Pain
in the back, WEAKNESS, las
situde, headache, dyspepsia,
indigestion, kidney and liver
complaints are but the result
ofneglect. During the last

And stole my baby away from me.

Exporting Florida Oranges.

Boston Advertiser
There were shipped "a the Canard
/ steamer CATALONIA, which left this port on
February 21, 100 boxes of Florida oranges,
! running 81 to 148 to the box. This vas
the first shipment of this fruit to the 9th
er side. and was made entirely as an ex-
pertinent by A. S. & J. Brown & Co., of
! this city. The oranges were large, had
| been carefully inspected and repacked,
and the cost, laid down in Liverpool,
was So 70 per box. The receivers on the
other side were instructed not to sell
them at auction, but to distribute them
to the dealers having American custom
ers, for it was believed they would be
quick purchasers. Florida oranges are
sweet, while the Mediterranean oranges
are sour. The latter can be sold in Eng
land at retail for much less than the
Floridas, but Americans, they expected,
would gladly pay the increased price IN
order to secure the better Florida oranges
A cablegram received by Messrs. A. S. &
J. Brown & Co on Friday stated that
/ the oranges had been sold and the VEN
tare had cleared expenses.
As a beginning, that is satisfactory
Next year the same firm will ship regu-
larly as soon as the season opens, just as
is done now in the apple trade, and they
expect the consumption to be such as to
take the shipments and pay fair profit
Q z II L =
factorily some shipments may result.
Thus, although Florida oranges have
been sold in large quantities in this mar
ket but few years, they are already be-
ing introduced in England. and Boston is
the port whence the first shipments are
made. This is significant. The crop of
Florida oranges is increasing, and with a
good fair yield, there will lie a surplus,
the export of which will relieve the home
market and sustain prices.
The influence of an export market for
our Florida oranges can be best apprecia-
TED when we consider the Importance of
the export trade in apples, which has
grown up within a few years. The total
shipments this season from Boston, New
York, Montreal, Portland and Halifax
have amounted to the unprecedented
quantity of 7I5.0l5 barrels, or. deduct
ing the shipments from the Provincial
ports, 613, 1G5 barrels from the United
States. Boston shipped 303, 1856 barrels,
or very nearly half Of the whole; New
York, 235, G32 barrels, and Portland,
1857. What kind Of q home market
would there have been if the 613, 165 bar
rels had been forced into distribution
here? The farmer has gained at q time
when he needed all he could get, and yet
the difference in cost to the consumer has
not been great. The export market fol
Florida oranges may, in the future, as
sumo proportions that even the enter.
prising shippers of the first hundred
boxes did not anticipate.

Routing Savages With Fireworks.
London Truth


London Truth.
I think Mr. J. Thomson, of Kilima-
Marc fame, deserves credit for the skill
and humanity he displayed in his hostile
operations against savages. When he
and his little band were threatened by
the Wa-Kiboso, he brought science and
gnnpowder to bear upon the latter in q
most novel way. Just at dusk, the saw
age Wa-Kibcso were drawn up in battle
array along the crest of hill; also taking
up position on hillock opposite, the
leader of the Kilima Marc expedition
promptly arranged the artillery he had
provided himself with in anticipation of
such an emergency. mo sooner had
darkness set in" says he, "than I blazed
forth upon the astonished natives with
Bengal lights, red fire, Roman candles,
serpent squibs, and, lastly, a flight OF
rockets" Without waiting to see the
last Of this pyrotechnic display, the hos.
/ tiless Wa-Kboso beat an ignominious re-
treat, declaring afterward that they could
not contend against the white man, who
was able to pull stars from the armament
and cause them to fall upon their enc,

Gossip About Mr.. TiIden
the Times-Democrat.

Special TO the I1IneS- Democrat.
New YORK, March 15.-The resigna-
ton by SomueI J. Tilden of directorships
in three stock companies, in which he is
a heavy owner, has caused some talk
among financiers. He has always been
so careful to be controller of his own
Investments that search has been made
for 4 reason for the change of policy.
The true one undoubtedly is that he can
no longer hope to regain sufficient
strength for the slightest activity. For
the first time in his life he has spent d
winter entirely away from this city. His
sumptious mansion in Gramercy Park,
complete in all its decorations and luxu-
rious furniture. even to the paintings on
the walls, has no other occupant than
watchman. Mr.. Tilden has not once
come down from Greystone, his country
place on the Hudson, since last summer
(Septeui5er), nor has he been aboard his
yacht, though ii was fitted up in the fall
with the means of comfort for a cruise
which its owner was understood to con-
template.
Nobody is nearer to him than John
Bigelow, who says: "Mr. Tilden was
never in greater mental vigor than he is
to-day. The best advice which the
managers ofMr. ClevelaLd's campaign got
in the canvass was from him" But he
would tell nothing concerning Tilden's
physical condition.
A man in equally Favorable position to
know the truth, says: 'Tilden will never
leave Greystone alive. He knows it,and
that is the cause of his retirement from
the directories of railroad companies.
His health began to fail alarmingly du-
ring his presidential campaign Of 1876,
and he has steadily lost strength. l re-
member that, on his departure for Eu-
ropean trip in the ensuing year, q nota
bic reception was given to him on which
occasion he had to be literally carried
into the house where the ceremonies
were held. This was his last attempt to
make public speech. He has since at
tended two meeting. but only rs an au-
dtor. He IS now helpless to an extent
appalling to the very few who get the
opportunity TO see him. Still, he firmly
believes that he will improve in health
SO much so that, l believe, he even hopes
to be a presidential candidate in 1888.
Tt was reluctantly that he became con-
WINGED of his physical inability to take
the nomination last summer, and his
willingness to be an advisor to President
Cleveland is due to anxiety to contribute
to a successful administration, in order
to strengthen the party for his own en-
suing campaign"
Such talk may be purely speculative,
but it comes from a source which makes
it interesting. The more important fact
is that Mr. Tilden is very low, and, in
spite of any possible expectation of fu-
ture political activity, is getting his inan-
cial affairs in shape for death
