pretty little house in Jersey City is an electric
machine in itself You can't walk across the
threshold without starting a burglar alarm

guests walked around on tip-toe when they en-
tered the house Thursday night. Nobody sat
down, although ottomans, and sofas, and chairs
were scattered through the room. When each

some unseen hand. If he touched sofa the
banjo on the opposite wall began to play, and if
he took another seat the action put out light

one knew when he was SAFE for electricity was
everywhere. After they had adjourned to the
dining-room one of the number worked up cour-
age to take seat at table loaded with the
usual delicacies The others followed. At the
head figure of Jupiter presided and at sig
nal from the host the great god began to make
an address of welcome phonographically. He
wore electric lights for shirt studs, bibulous
red light for nose. aud bis green eyes had the
snap of lightning in them, while blue bolts
started from his side pockets continuously. The
table seemed bewitched. Reach for an
innocent-looking sandwich and you

to be, pour q glass of lemonade and twas in

lips; put your spoon into dish of cream and
sparks of red and green flame arose; try to pick

that you pulled it from. But everything was
good and the coffee was cooked by electricity.

Little caunons rolled in through the door, appar-

Personal Appearance and Political Career of
nj. Jules Grevy.

Personal Appearance and Political Career OF
NJ Jules Grevy.
NJ. Grevy is of medium height, broad-shouI-
dered. solid and trife phlegmatic. His face is
strong and intelligent, and denotes wisdom and
dignity rather than bril]iancy or genius. He is
a6able towards all, the high and the humble
alike, and gives as cordial welcome to an OBJ
scure workingman as to foreign ambassador.
He does not try to shine in society, and he apes
none of the foibles or fashions. He gener-
ally dresses in coarse wooden clothes
which are sometimes too large for him,
and never made in the prevailing style. When
he walks ont he wears black frock coat, which
seems designed more for comfort than ornament
On state occasions he puts on the conventional
white necktie and black swallow-tail coat and
seems miserable until he can put them off again.
During his career III. Grevy always refused
decorations-one of the weaknesses of his coun-
trymen-but when he became President of the
Republic. that Office carried with it the Grand
Cross-highest grade-of the Legion of Honor.
In l848 he was violently opposed to the crea-
ton Of the presidency When asked, after his
election, how he reconciled himself to its accept
ance, he quickly replied: 81 accepted the Office
in order to prove how useless it is.' NJ Grevy is
passionatey fond of country life. and spends
some months every summer on his farm in the
Jura- During this period he amuses himself
with hunting. and fishing. and working
on the farm. He rises at o'clock in the morn
ing, says Paris writer who has visited him at
his home, walks out in the simplest ATTIRE and
generally turns towards the mill, whore he chats
with the miller and examines what is being done
there Later in the day he returns to the milt
with visitors, points out to them the hydraulic
apparatus, and enjoys their admiration of the
improvements he has made in the estate.
Whom the weather is fine, he receives his
callers on the terrace under the shade of
the trees, from which a lovely landscape spreads
Sometimes beer is brought to the terrace
q I'd then the conversation brightens. But for
the last couple OF years these little revels have
been less frequent, as his friends are concerned
for his health on account of his advancing age.
NJ. Grevy is far more ''at homo" on the farm,
chatting with his friends and callers ard work
men than in figuring in the receptions Of Paris.
Tho head Of one Of the greatest states in Eu-
rope, the simplicity of his life contrasts with
that of the princelings and kinglets of the petty
European states.

SOLVING AN OIL MYSTERY,
A Carefully Hidden Well Ferreted Out and an
Oil Town Created in Week.

Pfttsburg Special.
A drowsy lazy buzz filled the Oil Exchange
on the afternoon of the 10th Of May last
Brokers stood around with their hats pushed
back. pulling lazily at their cigars. Just before
the gong rang for the market to close boy
wormed bis way through the crowd to the 'bull
ring and handed telegram to big man who
was pacing uneasily about Two minutes after
the big man had sold $4,000 barrels, and ten
minutes later he sold 100, 900. Then the gong
rang and business ceased. Late that afternoon
rumor reached the Office Of morning paper
that an unknown oil we'll had been struck by
the big man. Report said that it was in tie
southern part of Allegheny county. near the
Mount Nebo Church. Exact particulars Of the
locality of the we'll could not be ascertained
The oil dealers knew nothing of it; its existence
was not even known.
A o'clock that evening a reporter from the
leading morning paper of the city left town on
horseback, with instructions to find the we'll and
clear up the mystery. 1t was o'clock when he
reached the Mount Nebo Church, near which the
well was rumored to be situated The country
he had passed through is the toughest in the
county. hills and hollows succeeding one an
other IN close order. AS he drew up before the
lonely country church, not a habitation was in
view Down toward the valley in the faint
curling above the tree tops. Half an hour later
he had ridden down the valley made circuit of
the spot. and had come out of the woods to a
clearing. Outlined against the sky he could dis
tinguish the black, gloomy frame of derrick.
Beyond the clearing shone, white and glistening
the tombstones of little country graveyard
All was silent and deserted about the derrick
IT the guards were still on duty the reporter
could see nothing of them.
Dismounting, he led his horse carefully
through the timber. picked his way among the
graves, and came out on the upper side Of the
derrick After tying his horse he waited some
time for signs that would indicate the where
abouts of the guards, which he knew were some
where in the neighborhood. Black clouds had
drifted across the moon, and shrouded every
thing in darkness. Slipping through tine brush
until opposite the engine house of the derrick the
reporter stepped out into the clearing, and fitted
across the open space to the engine room. He
stopped a moment then to listen again. 1t was
SO dark that only the biggest shapes could be
seen. The only sound he heard was the oc
casional movement of his horse in the bushes.
Feeling his way along the gearing till he came
to the derrick, he found the door, but it was
locked. AS he was examining its fastenings he
found staring him in the face this placard:

The Hennepin [canal scheme1 Is secondary in
