Fair maiden, stand not thus rerplexed.
Come, sweetheart come and he annexed.

THE BEGINNINGS OF PETROLEUM.

Facts in the early history of petroleum
which have borne the character of tradi-
ton are fully set forth and authenticated
in special article by the late L. E. Stofel
published in this issue. 1t is interesting
to find the beginning of trade which
ranks third among the products in the &C
cidental product of the Tarentum salt
wells, at first thrown away as useless
and damaging ingredient of the salt water.
The first use of the illuminant which now
lights the houses of both hemispheres by
the miners in its crude form is strik-
ing illustration of the small beginning for
a vast growth; while the first mercantile
use of petroleum as a medicinal prepara-
tion is another curious fact which seems
to come from another age. But the fact
that this small beginning of the petroleum
business was but 80 years ago gives us
another lesson on the rapidity of CONNER
cial transactions in this fast age.

AT least two of the present Senators who
were Major Generals enlisted in the army as
private soldiers-Gibson, OF Louisiana, and
Hawley, OF Connecticut. These men, both
fine looking, have a curious resemblance
and are sometimes mistaken for each other.
Both, too, as their rapid promotion indi-
Gates, had a romantic service. Hawley, an
old abolitionist. was tho first man to enlist
in his State and was IN the army all the time
to Appomattox. Gibson lost his fortune
during the war, but recovered it afterward.

The seeds of the tragedy were sown
without the knowledge of anyone except
tho big brown and white mastin and myself.
The mastif lay on a rug In the vestibule.
the heroine stood by the gate, the baby
slept in the carriage, and the nurse was
doubled up in the shade of q tree, deep in q
blue covered novel bearing the general ap-
pearancc of having been published in Chi
cago. Enter unto these from o covered
wagon the grocer's boy with tive baskets.
One basket was for next door and was put
down at the gate while the other was in
transit to the kitchen. Fatal error. My
heroine approached the basket, snd 1t was
half full of small green apples. abstracted
several and ate two at once. The mastin
looked at the nurse and so did l., She was in
a state of coma over the woes Of the villain.
Then the mastif looked ut me and said,
"Well, I'm -" and walked into the house.
