The abandoned oil well at Wallace's

They stop and gaze upon the small light rs

The well was drilled to the depth of 900

an exhibit that ought to have been seen by
every person in the city, and there were
comparatively SO few that did enioy that
privilege the GLOBE suggests that arrange
ments should be made to reopen the exhi-
bition and to keep it open for several DAYS

only be kept open during the day, but also

one OF them and Cleveland and st. Louis
the other two. st. Paul has no reason to
be ashamed of her exhibit.

ST. PAUL, June 12.-An eminent Eastern

approaches the savage in this particular
when he appropriateS what the former

probably exists than in the Euphonic roll OF
county names in western New York, begin
ming with Oneida, Onondaga Cayuga, Seneca,
Chautauqua, and eliminating in 1.-THE thun-
der Of waters at Niagara. In our own state
the wealth of significant beauty which we
have inherited from the Indian is in striking
contrast to the unmeaning holiness or the
unbuShing plagiarism which seems to be our
only resource when we come to the matter of
names. Worse than this is our facility of Sc

great traveller, Bayard Taylor, as
some twenty-five years ago he looked

to be concealed, remaining still fresh in my
memory. With a modest and appropriate

subject, can we not do better, for instance,
than to bestow upon a little bit of green in a

street which was called Fort with some slight
degree of appropriateness, inasmuch as it
led to Fort Smelling. But when it is boule-
yarded and lighted to the bridge, what of
history, or of sentiment, or of meaning will
be covered by its modern appellation of West
Seventh street, or where will one seek for its
numerical location without Sixth or an
Eighth or any other numbered street within
miles of it?

LOVE I'm THE ORCHARD.

Under the apple trees when. in May,
Through fresh white blossoms breeze was
blowing,
saw pair of lovers stray
A pretty picture well worth the showing.
All the earth seemed song in tune,
Sweet were the grasses and lush young
clover,
And down by the doorway that leads to June.
The birds are flying hither and over.
The runnel ran on it's shingley bed
With gently ripping musical laughter,
And the thick, soft clouds were white DER
head,
And the sky was blue before and after.
A pretty maid pulls down bough
To catch the orchards sweetest flavor
To him who stands beside her now
Love joins to it its subtler flavor.
She Is the one thought of his heart,
The sought-for crown to lifes completeness,
He feels the glow these days impart,
But finds in her rarer sweetness.
So hand-in-hand along they so,
With throbs of JOY and fond citation;
Amidst the apple-blooms they know
And feel Loves great TRANSPORTATION.

legitimate offspring of Congressman GIL

doesn't seem to have time to look after
