An Ambition.

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArcH.1
I've little ambition for public preferment,
For office I'd not give a red;
In knowledge's depthsI have ne'er sought In
terment;
To banker for fame I'm not bred.
To be philanthropist caring for man,
To seek to give all people health,
May do for all them that delight in the plan
For me, let me welter in wealth.
It's all very well. if you like it, and leisure
Is yours TO become great writer,
With quips of your fancy to give people pleas
ure.
To make a life sorrowful brighter;
It's all very well to have ideals high
To seek them by candOr OF stealth;
For things of this sort, though, Pm ne'er known
to sigh
For me, let me revel in wealth.

THE WEEK IN OIL.
A Loss of Nearly Three Cents-The Standard
still at Work.

still at Work.
The oil market was dull and weak yesterday.
It opened at S61sc, at which price 1000 barrels
were dumped. 1t then went down to S5zSc.
Oil City sent few orders here to buy on the
break, but the longs had grit enough to resist
the temptation. A rally to S8c ensued, where
the market held steady for short time, and
then moved up to $3.50, which was the closing
figure.
The peculiar condition of the market is gen.
orally attributed to manipulation by the Stand
ard. Its supply OF crude being unequal 10 its
requirements, it wants low prices, and works
the ropes 30 az to get them. Upon no other
theory can the depression be satisfactorily ac-
counted for in the face Of bullish statistics
Fluctuations during the week were:

in the situation since yesterday morning
was decided surprise. At one time yes
terday the prospect appeared decidedly
unfavorable. One of the mott promi-
nent German houses sold near
,000,000 ounces, and forced the
price down to sl.O9A. 1t was said
this selling was for the account of pool
which had been carrying large block
down from around 81 10. Silver dealers
say when this silver was shown to have
been sold they were willing TO begin
buying again, and buying orders came
in from many sources to-day, carrying
the price up to Sl.l45 h1moys were
current that the advance was caused by
purchases of the big bull pool, but these
reports were not believed, and brokers
active in recent trading ascribs the i'm

an advance of 1870 is reported, and
third, to the purchase By the

believe that the decline which ended yes

PARIS, Ten, Oct. 1.-The firm Of
johnson & Pearson. doing business at
Chicota, assigned to-day to II. S.

creditors being all local and
their claims amounting to ST.
$50 95. Attachments were sued out
this evening by NJ. Schneider s. Bro.
of Sherman for SASS. 81, j. w.
Hale Il Co. for S235; one by J. P. Pear
son against ] . K. Johnson for $3.50. The
failure was caused by the disappearance
of } K. Johnson, the senior partner of
the firm, with the FIRMS funds. III the
spring johnson rented farm belonging
to the Pearson estate, but in July de-
cided to merchandise at Chicota, and
persuaded J. r. Pearsons to go in with
him. johnson went East and bought
a stock in his own name, the first
payment maturing to-day. Pear
son had some unsettled business
al Garrett, and remained there
settling it up and collecting
during this fall, and deposited all his
own means here in the name of the firm.
Johnson ran his farm and the Chicota
store but it is now recalled that he never
paid out cent of money but was rigid
collector, depositing everything in bank.
He said he wanted to have the
money ready when heir paper fell dnA
He also sold thirty-six bales of cottons
from his crop and some eight or ten bales
bought with goods from others. On Sat-
urday he came to town ostensibly to be
here to-day and meet the firm paper.
He has not been seen since Saturday.
He drew all the money from the bank,

his team, bough: Winchester
and box of cartridges and vanished.
His takings us well as can be estimated
are about $4,000. He married a young
lady about two months ago, and she Is
left in destitute circums tances, and
is wild with grief at his
conduct. Johnson has been here about
two years and halls from Georgia, forty
seven years old, wears a moustache aud

her, and il was arranged that the cere-
mouy should take place at the intirmary,
where the groom 6as undergoing treat
