A LAWYERS Good Luck.

A former Harrisourger who once held q
state office, and is now resident of Phila-
delphia, was lawyer by profession, and,
after leaving the service of the state, he
settled in a county which was then greatly
excited over the discovery of oil within its
borders. Here he hung out his shingle and
waited for clients Sometimes they came but
often they didn't. and his funds grew lower
and lower until at last it question OF
bread and butter for HIM and his family
Sitting in his Office one day with his head be-
tween bis hands, curSing his hard luck and
wondering whether life was worth living not
a cent III his pocket and nothing to eat, he
was disturbed by the entrance of an acquaint-
ance, who asked HIM to draw up an agree
ment relating to the lease of some land and
the sinking of an Oil well.
''I'il do it if you pay me" said the lawyer
'Now, See here, said the man, ''you know
/ have no ready money, brt if you draw up
these papers I'll give you an interest in the
we'll"
Il won't do it," said the lawyer, bluntly;
you have no money and are fast on the road
to the poorhouse Nc, l won't help you"
But you must" persisted the man; ''you
can do it 1t won't cost YOU a cent, and you
must do it. Go ahead now. If lose it is
nothing out of your pocket Draw up these
papers, you've nothing else to do"
Well, the lawyer, to get rid of the man,
drew up the agreements, and took as his pay
nm interest in the Oh well
What happened!
The oil well was a gusher, and the thick,
greasy fluid poured out over the derrick and
made the poor devils who were putting down
the well fairly howl with glee. The lawyer
was on hand, just as excited rs anybody else,
and the very first chance he got he sold out
for $1,000 cash. With his money in his
hand he FASTENED home and told his wife his
GOOD fortune and they both rejoiced.
And now. mother" said he TO his wife,
lets get oat of this"
And they lit out for phia.-Harris-

A story About Beecher.

Abraham Lincoln once told a good story

could be so lost to all sense of truth and hon.

A PICTURE.

There comes TO me amid the toll and fret
OF the long, busy day picture sweet,
Without which life would never be complete
Undarkened by the shadow of regret,
A dear old fashioned face that charms me vet.
Smiling from soul unsullied by deceit,
Recalling happy hours which fed too fleet,
Crowded with memories / would not forget
Frightening the misty canvas of the past.
My truest friend, proved by unselhsh test;
Whose character in modest mold was cast.
Whose memory holds my heart while life shall
last;
Death claimed him long ago, as it was best,
Eor so his tired soul found sweetest rest

CLOSING PRICES OF CALIFORNIA STOCKS.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 90, 1888
THE OFFERING OF BONDS.

thursday, April up. M
The offerings of United States bonds to the
Treasury to-day amounted only to 100000,
generally at advanced figures, the details of which
are not at hand at time of writing. The Secretary
accepted only s1565OO, making total purchases
to date up to 49, 6S1, 900, the payment for which
is partially reflected in to-day's loss of nearly
100000 by the New-YorlI Sub-Treasury.
The railway earnings reported to-day printed
below make remarkably favorable comparisons.
Twenty-scven companies now have reported their
gross earnings for the third week in April OF
these twenty-five, which show gains on the week
of 1887, give aggregate Of 81, 931 30s, against
81, 6S5, 986-a gain of S245,322, or II 1-2 per
cent, and five which show losses give an aggregate
of $3.50, 7S4, against s2s7,476-a loss of $50, 692
or 10 per cent. The whole number give gain
on the week of 1886 Of "a per cent.
The stock market continues to broaden and
slowly to make appreciation in values, while
the entire force of professionals continue to
talk about reactions. There has not been day
since the market made its last departure on Mon
day, April 6 ten days ago, that there have not
been two or three reactions Of 3-6a3-4 per cent
To-day was no exception to that rule which
seems likely to remain in force TIL we have two
or three days of business amounting TO 600, 900
or 100000 shares a day, and the bears force
contracts New favorites crop out daily and
mark advances, while those stocks which started
earlier gain little with fluctuations of IA or
IL per cent. To-day the Gould stocks, including
even Missouri, Kansas and Texas, were conspic-
uous features. The Northern Pacific, in the
general list, led the advances, while the grangers
and the coal stocks, particularly Reading, made
good seconds and thirds. Among the trunk lines,
Erie noticeably strong. In the last half hour,
attempts were made TO raid values on the small
bond offerings, and Lake Shore being unglarded
was closed l-2 per cent lower than last evening.
The figures of Saturdays bank statement probably
will satisfy every one that 1t is OF little cOnse-
quence whether the Treasury at present buys any
bonds or not, while it already is developed that
with any activity in money, even at per cent,
there will be free offerings at satisfactory figures.
The market after the raid closed quiet and strong.
STATE OF THE BOND MARKET.
Government bonds were inactive but because
the Secretary of the Treasury yesterday accepted
.he As at ! 26, the bids for them were advanced
l-2 per cent Annexed are the closing quotations
