The Aged Tramp.

The lady OF a Cottage Hill house,
the nurse girl and cook, held a brief
consultation and concluded that an
old man whose toes stuck out Of his
boots and the crown Of whose summer
hat was held by a hinge Of straw and
tapped up and down in the wind, dis
closing the fact that the aged wearer
"a bald-yery bald must be really
worthy, and they invited him to a seat
in the kitchen while his breakfast was
being prepared. The fragrance Of
the frying pan revived the dropping
spirits Of the aged tramp and unlock
ed the streams of conversation which
the cold charities Of the world had
frozen up. fitting his chair back he
said: 'The people Of the oil regions
appear to get along right slick.

public opiuion and illustrate the
power of the press has not a path OF
roses before him.
When he has once started q paper
it is easy enough to get subscribers.
The people swarm into the office with
their rough generosity and tell him
to put their names down and send the
bill in any time. In this way the
smiling editor gets q subscription list
as long as the patience of Job; he
hires q tall foreman with q boil on his
neck to oversee things, and a boy with
copious mouth to run errands and
rush the GROWER.
After a while the editor sends in his
bills to his numerous subscribers, and
they call up to tell him he has gall to
expect anything for his darned old
paper.
Thar amt no news in it, uohow;
ef We like, I'll come up and show ye
how to run things and make her
howl"
They are always willing to do this;
these horny-handed pioneers just love
to go about doing good and making
things howl, but they have never con
tracted the habit Of paying their debts.
Then. the editor being broke, the
foreman mops off the ceiling with him
and leaves, taking his boil with him;
the copious mouth with the boy ad-
herring to it also leaves, and adds in
suit to injury by stealing the GROWER.
Then the editor grows bitter. and
says mean things about his subscrib-
ers, and they come up to his Office IL
the cold gray dawn, and run him
through his own hand press, and leave
his mangled form wrapped up in an
esteemed contemporary,
It was in the glad spring that a
young man with pale eyes and a bald
face came to the village Of Hooper's
Rapids and bought out the Astonish-
er, a weekly paper which had for its
motto: "We fight for Home"
The previous editor had fought for
grub principally and he ended the
long, fruitless struggle by wrpplng a
pine coffin about him, and going to
sleep with his fathers.
His untimely end was fastened by
handful Of buckshot which had been
shot into him by a gentleman named
Howling Henry.
Howling Henry just pinned for
b1oodshed and commotion; he loved
to utter his merry war-whoop and jab
his bowie-knife into a mans back
until it grated against his collar
button.
When the pale young man bought
the Astonisher, Howling Henry called
upon him and opened a pleasant inter
view by telling the pale young man
that he had a weakness for whipping
editors. 7 will bet he said cheer
fully, sthat [ can twist you around
your %suspenders until there's nothing
left Of you but a pale green necktle
sticking out Of your ears"
In the enthusiasm that followed
Howling Henry wasn't SURF whether
he was mixed up, with a water spout
or sitting under. a pile driver, but
when he crawled out Of a brick yard
across the street and looked up at
the window Of the Astonisher Office,
where the pale young editor whistiad
softly, "Baby's got the collie" Howl
ing Henry showed his backbone into
its socket and said:
f guess I'll enigrate while the
walking's good"
And a voice from the editorial room
Of the Astonisher fell upon his ears:

FOR HOME INDUSTRY,
A oonIAIrNDApLE SUGGESTION
To Keep Money at Home aud Give Employ'
msnt to Wheeling workmOn-WsaIIh
in tho Wheeling HIS which.
ought to be Developed.

A we'll known old resident Of Wheeling,
who is well posted on the geological for
nation OF the hills about Wheeling as any
person, and probably without exception
the best posted man, recently hailed an
ISrELLlaExcRR reporter on the street and
brosChed the subject Of fre'brCk paving.
He made suggestion which struck the
reporter with considerable force, and the
result Of the conversation 10 embodied in
the following ines. -
The gentleman says that is q TACT well
known to persons who have ever been en-
paged in operating coal mines OF stone
Ouarries in the hills lmmediately sur.
rounding Wheeling, that there Is IN all
these bills a thick, pure vein Of t1s clay
easily accessible by tnnneling, which has
never been worked, owing to the fact that
he composition includes liberal percent
age Of iron. Fire CLAW containing iron In
lis composition Is uptl. for use in making
bricks ior furnaces, as 1t will burn readily
Oonse quently, though the exlstenet
OF this vein Of clay Is commonly
known, 1t has never been any advantage
| 10 ANYBODY for this reason, Experiments
and analyses in the past both pointed tc
the presence OF iron in quantity to MAKE
the clay useless Tor ordinary lie briCs
purposes.
Now, however, there is no reason thA
this vein should not be worked. The
manufacturers OF the friedrich bloCki
which are now used on tho streets O.
Wheeling as paving material, say thst
theGe blocks are composed OF fire clay auc
iron ore perfectly vitrifed. Her0 the
clay Ia found in the earth ready mixed lOI
the purpose, 1tcontains just enough iIor
10 make perfect paving block,
True, the gentleman admitted, psrtiel
at New Cumberland who are engaged II
manufacturing fire brick for paving pur
poses, are also interested in ihspslent OF
tho blocks now in use here, and thii
might probably prevent the manufacture
OF That block here. He was inclined t
think, however, that MIR. Potter would b.
omen 10 inducements to establish work
hero Tor tho purpose OF manufacturing
the yitrIGed blocks for paving exclusively
II not, there are other blocks which
might be manufactured. A sample pave
ment made Of an octsgonal block OF hRrl
burned red brick can be seen at the soutl
end Of the Second ward market. This /
regarded by mSny as oil that Is rquiret
40 far as TO shape Of blocks, ind tho fit
clpy to be found here might be used II
msking blocks Of that shape,
The Wheeling pavement 10 becoming
'well known all over tho country. Cleye
land, Chicago, zlnesyille and other cite
will probably lay experimental pavement
| Of the Are brick block. II a works Coult
DO established here to make them 1t woul
give employment to q numler Ct men an
add materially to tho volume OF bushes
lin this city. It would turn material nov
worthless in the hills into cold cash, kee
money right at homo which nov zoe
abroad, and bring a considerable amour
Of foreign money hero in the course Of
ycsr. The suggestion Is certainly worth
Of attention.
