Ages ut Which Men Marry.

Statistics show thai law of chances
governs il the vast majority Of cases the
age at which men marry VII are EN-
gagged in certain occupations says the
New York Lelg2r. Workm Il and
artisans take unto themselves wires at
an earlier age than those whCs3 vacations
are ola more intellectual kind Tnus
miners, textile factory sands, laborers
and artisans, marry n ~ average OF
twenty rwn years. o these the miners
are first iii the field, more than 100 of
every coo Of item securing wives be
fore they have Dec 'ma OF aga Workers
in textile fabrics run them close; then
come shOemakers aud tailors aud they
are followed by artisans aud Aborers.
farmers and farmers SOUS consider
twenty five early enough. Commercial
clerks seek the pleasures OF matrimony
at twenty six. Shopkeeper and shopmen
postpone the rapture a little while
longer Professional meu aud gentlemen
OF Independent means rarely care to
encum Der themselves even with SO de-
ligtful burden as a wife until they
have toed tie line OF over thirty years.
through tie itch marry at more ripe
age than the working fraternity, they
continue marrying u1til l1Dg after the
last named have ceased to wed. Where
as fourteen miners aud twenty five
artisans III every 600 marry between the
ages of thirty five and forty nearly 100
OF the professional and independent
class do. Il is explained in this way:
The rich like to see somelhiug of the
world and its pleasures before settling
down to sober matrimouy. A laborer
has neither desire nor opportunity for it.

First Use of Petroleum.

In diary kept by one OF the surveyors
engaged IN the survey of the Holland
Land Compiny's purchase at the very
beginning of this century an entry occurs
to the effect that near the head waters
of the Allegheny river in this State, was
a spring uPon the water from which,
when conducted into shallow pools,
would collect quantities Of oil. This the
Indians collected and used. For unknown
generations the Indians had held this
spring II high venoration believing it
was a direct gift from the Great Spirit.
They dried the oil by exposure to the
sun and made an ointment that they used
in mixing their 'r paint as we II as for
remCd iapurposas. This ointment was
the vaseiiEe of the present day in its
crude state, Tor the oil skinned from
the spring was crude petroleum. The
oil spring ard a plot Of ground one mile
square were given to the Indians as a
reservation, and is so held at the present
time being known as the oil Spring Reser
walton.
In after years euterprising whites
collected the oil and it was bottled and
sold under the name OF Seneca Oil"
1t had wide reputation and was eagerly
sought by many who ext0lied its merits
in the most oxtravagant terms. Had it
not been for tie fact that the inquisitive
whites found out way TO get petroleum
from the earth by sending the drill down
through the rocks, Seneca Oil" would
doubtless now be a popular medicine
worth 81 a bcttis.

An Anecdote OF Henry Clay.

y
An anecdote is told oi Henry Clay
that shows his wonderful knowledge
of human nature. When what was
known as the ''compeusatiou bilr' passed
Congress, fixing he salary ofits members
at ( 800 Il year in Instead OF 4 per d:era
day, il caused storm of indignant
protest through the country. MIR. Clay
had voted Tor the hill and Ea found
violent opposition to it in lis own district
which threatened to retire him To private
life. Believing the carrent too strong
to stem he met bis constituents in mass
netting aud with admirable tact allayed
the storm. Instead Of defending lis
vote for the odious measure lie said.
"Fellow K"ntuckions, if you had a
favorite rihe"-ani what Kentucky
audiarce would not listen at the ms ution
of a ritle-"that had never missed fire,
'and ore day that trusty old rifle should
accidentally miss its mark, would you
cast it away.
No, no, " was the unanimous response.
"Would you not try il a&ain?"
YES. !es!' shouted the multitude
Then fellow citizens l am that trustv
old rifle that never missed fire aud |
ask you not 10 cast me aside but try ME
again.
The effect, delivered as it was in his
impressively eloquent style was electric
aid Henry Cay vas returned to congress
by an increased majority. And what
higher tribute to bis great ability could
be paid than be received in his duel
with the eccentric John Randolph, Of
Virginia? Mr.. Clay having fired Grst

Thursday by getting drunk. He
came to Joplin on official business
and began proceedings by stating
that the Joplin officers had no
nerve. He then went to a saloon
to fortify his own nerve with few
horns of that elixir which cannot
be secured in Kansas, but Bulling-
ton is not "stayer" and his nerve
and the whislley soon had him down.
He went up to Judge Craycrofts
office and when he started to leave
the drunken beast fell head fore
most down stairs and rolled across
the pavement to the curb. He was
taken home in a buggy. He is a
disgrace to the dignity of Cherokee
county and his resignation should
