LITTLE CHILDREN.

With their glec ore echoinx.

STARTING A PIPE LINE.
Exciting Phenomena Attending the Now
Plan for the Transportation OF Oil.

When the first pipe line was started
in its work of conveying oil from the
vicinity of the wells in Pennsylvania
to the seaboard some peculiar phenom-
ena were noted. The prospect that
oil may soon be transported in a SIM
liar manner to Denver not only from
Morrison, but also from the Florence
oil fields, will add interest to the
recital of these phenomena. The story
is told by John Ward, one of the
watchmen on duty along the new pipe
line. He was cautioned to watch "a
certain hollow where the pipe. coming
over one eminence, passed down
through it and up over u mountain to
the eastward.
Ho tells how he heard the oil CUR
Cling past. and as all seemed safe he
followed the line two miles before
turning back into this hollow. He
says:
Imagine my establishment when L
saw the place had left short time
before so tame now Kissing at ten
thousand points. Jets of oil were fly-
ing twenty feet high and hundreds of
barrels were flowing down liners

II thought the pipe was gone mp,
sure. At first ! was afraid to approach
it. but soon grew valiant, and with
calking chisel set to work to stop the
leaks. l made poor Roadway; it was
a dark night and dared have no light.
l had taken off my coat, the whizzing
oil carried away my hat. and very
soon became drenched with oil. My
pockets. my hair aud my eyes were
full. and if was not then an oil man l
would like to know what constitutes
one. at length grew sick. and sup
posed would have to give up and all
would be lost. and instead of an out
pressure could hear an in-drawing, u
suction of air.
II now realized the fact that the oil
had been climbing the upgrade but
was now on the descent for Pine Bot
tom Run. This caused suction and
relieved the hollow at the springs.
II again waited some time. when l
received word to hasten to Haneyville
that the pipe was bursting. When |
arrived there the people were greatly
excited. The pipe was throbbing aud
wheeling ut every pore. Mcclure
Spring was nowhere. The oil was
sporting from the pipe for miles. |
knew from experience that the oil had
reached and was climbing another
high mountain, and the pressure was
so great that l feared every moment
the pipe would burst.
I'VE all stood still and looked on.
Susdenly, as quick as thought. all
motion ceased except a sucking in of
air, and l heard the oil passing rapidly
along the pipe. l knew that it had
crossed the last mountain and that the
oil line was an established fact"

THE COMTE DE PARIS.
An Historical Parallel Between His Visit
and that by Lafayette.

An Historical Parallel Between His Visit
and that by Lafayette.
From the illustrated London News.I
Students of American history may. perhaps,
be pardoned if they are led to trace faint
parallel between the second visit of the Comte
de Paris to the States and the second visit
thereto of General Lafayette. America was
in the midst of war" when the young and en-
thusiastic Marquis de Lafayette abandoned the
luxurious existence of Paris to cross the ATTAIN
tic and take up arms in the cause of the colonies
which were struggling to throw off the yoke OF
Britain and whose leaders were carrying on
the fight with famished troops and
bankrupt treasury against an enemy whose
army was recruited by foreign mercenaries.
and who was backed by powerful fleet
Lafayette was received with open arms by
Washington, as the -Comte de Paris was by
Mcclellan: but the arrival of the young French
nobleman meant something moro than in
dIyidual sympathy. 1t meant the proximate
arrival of French money and of French troops;
it meant the active cooperation with the
American leyies of those troops under Lafayette
and Rochambeau in the triumph of York
town.
Forty years afterwards Lafayette. a veteran
of 81, went back to the States to receive mag
nIficent ovation. His enemies accused him OF
having fostered his own personal vanity by re-
visiting land where he could reckon upon an
enthusiastic reception: but the reDroach was as
unjust as would be any analogous insnuation
1eveled at the Comte de Paris When his Royal
Highness first set foot on American shores, the
Union was to all appearances in the throes OF
impending dissolution. He returns, after
8-and-20 years, to find the country loya! to the
Union from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with
population. productive power and consequent
wealth enhanced beyond tie most sanguine
calculations of the optimism of generation
since; ard surely there is nothing to anlmad-
vert upon in his natural desire to behold the
marvellous changes for the better In the coun-
try which, during gigantic struggle, he served
with gallantry and good feeling.
