OIL In Michigan.

An oil fever similar 10 the craze which once
swept over Western Pennsylvania has broken
out at Manistee, Mich, and is raging violently.
Spectators are pouring in, property has adj
vanced in price rapidly within 10 days, and the
people are very much excited. Oil has been
struck in seemingly large quantities. The dis
covery was made accidentally, and, therefore,
found the people unprepared for their good
fortune. L. q. Peters began work on a well in
the center of his 400-acre piling and mill
grounds, thinking that salt might be underly-
ing il, as that mineral was being found all
around him. The well had reached a depth Of
several hundred feet when an accident made re-
pairs necessary. The tubing was drawn and
shortly after rushing noise was heard at the
WELL and stream of crude petroleum was seen
flowing from the hole. The flowing increased
in quantity and force until the output was 600
barrels per day.
Another well was at once started and has
reached depth of 552 feet. Oil is flowing in
large quantities, This satisfied the people that
there was oil in profitable quantities and oper-
ations on an extensive scale have been begun.
The news reached the ears Of several Pittsburg
experts, who came here at once and have been
leasing land in the vicinity of the town, taking
il at what is known as an "oil lease" all other
minerals TO be controlled and owned by the
holder of the land The excitement in the city
is growing in intensity every day. The lumber
interest made Manistee a rich town, and the re.
cent discovery of salt added greatly 10 its pros.
perity, but the oil find has completely changed
the village into booming city.

A Cliff az Natural Glass.

Among the scientific papers which will ap-
pear in the appendix of one of the forthcoming
reports of the National Geological Survey is one
by Prof Joseph p. Iddings upon the obsidian
cliff Of Yellowstone Park. This cliff is an ele-
walton half mile long by from $50 TO 200 feet
high, the material of which, Prof. lddings says
" is as good a glass as any artifcially manu-
featured" Its colors and structure not only
make ii highly interesting TO the visitor, but
furnish 90 the scientific investigator phe-
nomena Of importance. The Gill presents
partial section of surface flow Of obsldian,
which poured down an ancient slope from the
plateau lying east. IL is impossible TO deter
mine what the original thickness of this flow
may have been. The dense glass which now
forms its lower portion is from IS 10 $50 feet
thick, while the porous and puniceous upper
portion has suffered from ages of erosion and
glacial action. A remarkable feature OF the
cliff is the development of prsmatic columns
which form its southern extremity. These are
of shining black obsidian. and are from 90 to 60
feet in height, with diameters varying from
two TO four feet. The color Of the material of
this cliff is for the most part jet black, but
much of it is notified and streaked with bright
brownish red and various shades of brown from
dark TO light yellowish, purplish and olive
green. The brilliant luster Of the rock and the
strong contrasts of colors with the black are
very striking. In places the glass in the pro-
cess of cooling has been broken into small angu-
lar pieces, which have been again cemented by
the later flow. In some places the material
shows fine satin luster, while in others deep
golden sheen is noticeable, which under the
lens resolves itself into thin beams of red and
yellow light Through the black and red glass
are scattered dull blush gray patches and
bands and round gray and pink masses, the effect
of which is TO still further vary the appearance
and beauty of the rock and make il the most
conspicuous and Characteristic variety Of vol
canic lava known.

Shot BY Her Husbands Side.

The most mysterious and diabolical crime
ever perpetrated in Southern Missouri was COM
mitted on big Creek last week. One morning
at o'clock, Mrs Ella Williams, the bride Of
Rolfe Williams, was lying asleep by the side
of her husband, when some unknown person
entered the bedroom, placed pistol against her
forehead, aud sent bullet through her brain.
The report Of the revolver awakened Williams,
but he had been i'll for some time and was I'M
able 10 pursue the murderer. Two men, Sleep
ing in an adjoining room, were also awakened,
and they Immediately went 10 the room after
procuring a light. As they entered, most
revolving scene met their eyes The young
bride lay motionless on the bed, blood stream
ing from her forehead and her brain protruding.
The bullet had entered just above the right
eye and that organ had been forced from its
socket and was hanging by a chord upon the
check. The men Immediately made search for
the murderer but could not find any trace OF
him, and be is still at large. Impossible motive
can be assigned for the deed, except that some
disappointed former lover Of the bride took this
means of revenge. Mrs. Williams, before her
marriage was the belle Of the County, and
bore an rreproachable character. The couple
who were children Of wealthy and respected
farmers had been married but two months.

A Cattle Syndlcate's Losses.

A special from Walla Walla, Wash. Ter. says:
T" cattle man just returned from North Mon
tana states that the Neidringhaus drive Of
cattle from this country 10 British Columbia
has proven a disastrous failure 10 the st. Louis
cattle syndicate, Of which Mr.. Neidringhaus is
q prominent member For a time the drive,
consisting Of 10000 head Of cattle, prospered
finely, but as the unusually dry season in Mon
tana progressed the grass became scarcer and
streams Of water fewer and farther between,
the stock began 10 weaken and fall by the way
side, finally dying by hundreds. The herders
even suffered great privations for water, and SO
desperate did the situation become when near
ing the British line that Mr.. Neidringhaus or
dered the drive abandoned aud the herders 10
reach the Northern Pacific Railroad as best
they could. The scene about the drive was a
most pitiable one. The cattle were reduced 10
skin and bones aud were so weak from fatigue
and want Of nourishment that they would stand
still and then fall in their tracks 10 die
Cattle men are Of the opinion that the syndi-
cate will not have 200 head Of stock next Spring
out of the immense herd driven from this
country. Their loss in that case will reach

Dakota Booming.

Gilbert A. Pierce, Governor of Dakota Terri
tory, in his annual report to the Secretary Of
the Interior, says: The year has not been al
together as prosperous as was desired, Dakota
suffering in common with the rest Of the coun-
try from more or less business prostratiOn and
from the drouth which injured the small grains.
The cattle industry has developed rapidly dur
ing the year. The area of land newly filed on
during the year was 1856, 366 acres. The sales
of land by the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany during the year are estimated at $4,000
acres. The total increase in population of the
Territory for the year is estimated at $1,000,
giving Dakota population, on June 80 1886,
of fully 100000" The Governor estimates the
total construction of railroad in the Territory
during 1856 at 500 miles In conclusion the
Governor discusses the subject of the admission
of Dakota into the Union, and adds: II renew
my recommendation most earnestly that this
great people be no longer kept from their right
full heritage, but be permitted share and voice
in that Government they honor by their pub
lie sp.s it and sustain by their industry"

fed bomeward and was dressed in his mothers
clothes when his pursuers arrived. Upon being
questioned the father denied all knowledge of
his son, whereupon a search was made. The
son was discovered through his disguise, and
was ruthlessly shot down in his mothers arms
and the father hung upon tree before the
door. the house sacked and burned, and the
mother and three daughters ordered to make
their way to the Yankee lines.
The fate Of the mother and two younger has
already been told. but that of the oldest sister
remains to be narrated.
During this recital it appeared at times that
the pallid lips had ceased to move and the IAN
guild eye had closed in last long sleep. At
length, after repeated intervals of this deathly
stupor. in which we had thought the spirit had
flown from our :" little Harry" the glazed eye
opened for the last effort and commenced the
recital of the sorrowful details of his young
life. From this it was learned that when the
extinction of the family had been accomplished,
the victim of the british conscript officer, the
elder sister, resolved to
TAKE UPON HERSELF
the office of avenger of her family wrongs. and
In the guise of boy had sought our camp and
enlisted, with the result above narrated. In
the closing scenes that soon occurred we who
stood around that couch Of death yielded the
sad tribute that every true soldier gives in tes-
timony of the feelings engendered by gallant
and meritorious service rendered by dying
comrade.
We gave to the body the burial Of soldier,
all the honors being observed at the grave, and
have always thought that If the secret that
was only discovered by those Immediately at
the bedside had been shared by all it would
have given a deeper shade to the feeling be-
trayed in their looks and actions at her grave
in recognition of her gallantry and worth and
in ignorance of the surrounding facts. In
affectionate recognition of that soldierly DEATH
q cedar board was erected at the head of the
grave, and some years later bore the brief in
scription agreed upon as being in cOnsonance
with all the circumstances of this brief history
and the soldiers death. 1t was simply:

THE NEW NAVAL VESSELS.

latent interest of American shipbuilders, and

and many other firms not known TO the De-
partment have signifed their intention TO make
an effort TO secure the work. Twenty-three
different firms have applied for copies OF the
specifications TO enable them TO prepare their
