Ohio. The flow of oil commenced

ty. Ohio. The flow of oil commenced
Nov. IS. The spectacle is described as
one of the most magnificent ever wit
messed in that part of the country. First
appeared q column of water rising
eight or ten feet in the air. This was
followed by black stream of mud and
sand, which gradually changed to yell
low. Then, with deafening roar, the
Gas burst forth in an immense volume,
hiding the derrick from view. AS this
cleared away solid golden column a
foot in diameter shot from the derrick
floor 100 feet in the air, there breaking
into fragments and falling in shower
of yellow rain for quarter of mile
around. For period of five hours
this great column of oil shot upward.
In a very few moments the field about
the well was covered several inches
deep with petroleum. Within three or
four hours the bitches for miles around
were Overlooking with OIL Dams We're
constructed in order that the product
might be estimated, but these were
oyerflowed and swept away as rapidly
as built. Some persons living in the
vicinity. alarmed at the spectacle,
hacked their household goods and fed.
The Buckeye pumping station, mile
distant, was compelled to extinguish
it's fires on account of the gas, and all
other fires within the district We're put
ont. It was a literal flood of oil. the
estimated production for the first twen-
ty-four hours being 14,56O.OQO gallons.
About $4,000 barrels per day have been
saved and marketed since the oil has
been brought under full control. The
owner has refused an offer Of S5OO,OOO
for the well, being content with the in
come of SIC, 600 per day.

Did Not Say "Hysterical Governess.''

DID Not Say "Hysterical Governess.'
A correspondent asks me why I have
called Charlotte Bronte "a hysterical
governess. But when or where did
ever write such nonsense about "the
Vestal Of HaWorth'? If 1 err not, the
accomplished Shirley brought this
charge against me in Good Words. I
read it with amaZement, at Dingwall
and forgot about it. The only article
that [ ever wrote on Miss Bronte, /
think, was in Good Words. Looking
over it, / see that / did say she was Il
governess. and expressed the usual re-
greet for the unhappy lives which are
too often lived in that underpaid and
difficult profession.
One catches an echo of many laments
in Miss Brontes novels; her materials
are inevitably derived from her expert
ence. But l find nothing about "hys-
terica1 governess. People have called
Jeanne dare 'hysterical'; genius and
Mysteries have points of contact. But
[ did not even say that, as far as am
aware, and if l am to be accused of do
ing so, by Shirley or any one else, I
must ask for documentary evidence.
"No other is genuine" If the thing
can be proved, shall recant and burn
my fagot; if it cannot be proved, per-
haps the myth will be withdrawn. No
body can remember all the foolish
things he may have written, but this
particular folly, I fondly trust, is be-
yond my power.-A. Lang, in Long
mans Magazine.

Inc patches referred to in the above
description were introduced in the sew
enteenth century, probably from Ara
Dla, where black mole is considered
beauty spot. Hence those in England

sents lady Of the latter part of the
seventeenth century with a star and
TWO half moons, circular mark and a
coach, coachman and two horses, with
postllllons, upon her face. Patches
were even made a symbol of political
allegiance, ladies favoring the Tories
patching the right side of the face,
While those who adhered to the Wings
patched the left side. After 1766 patch
es on the face were discontinued.
Masks We're the Fashion.
Masks formed another fashionable
decoration for the face, half masks and
whole masks being optionally used. The
masks, when not worn, were suspended
to the side by string; when used
they were held in position by the
teeth by means of q round band fas-
tened on the inside. During the reign
of Charles H., of England, few ladies
visited the theater unmasked.
Hoops, which were an extension Of
the padded or false hip of the fif-
teenth century, did not come into very
general use until toward the close of
the seventeenth century. A paper of a
little later period speaks of chair

This is one of the unique experiences
that befall the hardware trade. Some
days since dear old lady from the

Ir THE INTEREST or THE SOUTH.

The Alabama Coal, Iron, Land and
 Colonization Company has just issued a pamphlet for distribution which is re- plete with information concerning the South. The pamphleteer admits the de- pression through which the South has passed. but takes a hopeful view of the future. We make the following extract:
 Tn truth, notwithstanding this de- pressive influence of the times through out the United States. viewed as a whole during 1894 existing industries in the South, and especially in Alabama, not only maintained, but greatly strength ened their position by perfecting their processes and reducing the cost of their
 products--whilst, through the unrelaxed efforts of the Birmingham Commercial Club, and especially of Maj. F. Y. An derson, the able general manager of this companys lands. much was done to in terest other States of the Union, and principally these of the North and North west, in the rising fortunes of the South.
 In connection with this movement an in- cident occurred which it is important to
 notice as showing how thoroughly the
 views of Northern men towards the South became changed, and that they
 are prepared even to view the tide of European immigration through New
 York being partially deViated from the
 West to the South On the proposal to
 form a bureau of Southern information at New York. the promoters were as- sured, through the special correspondent of the Birmingham Age-Herald, that
 scores of the capitalists of the North who had never been South were contin-
 ually studying new fields of investment they knew the cost of mining coal and making iron in the districts of Birming ham-the price of land, cost of trans portation, condition of labor, and all other important facts; that the then ex- isting glut of surplus money in the
 market, amounting to $150, 900, for the most part deposited in savings banks ready for investment in anything abso- lutely safe, must continue while existing
 business conditions remained unchanged. What the South most needed at that
 time, in their view, was to command and then maintain the entire confidence of capital That the scheme of the club aiming at a combination of all the South ern States and their railroads might in Volve conflicting interests and rival com munities, whereas If such united efforts were directed to obtaining the inflow of steady stream of immigration from Europe, and the South would study the methods of the Northwest and profit thereby, they would have reasonable hope of success, and, in fact, the tide of immigration would be turned Southward within two years

SILVER FOR CHINA.

Perhaps China will afford the United States an outlet for much of it's surplus silver. A Washington dispatch says:
 Negotiations have recently been opened through agents of American in terests in China with a view to having China secure from American capitalists the amount of silver requisite to pay the Chinese war indemnity of 200, 900, ,000 tasls to Japan.
 'The indemnity is payable in Chinese taels, equal to the Mexican dollar, which is now worth about 5 cents in American money. Under the terms of the China Japanese treaty, which have not hereto fore been stated, the payments are to be made as follows: Fifty million taels pay able six months from the ratification of the treaty, 50000.000 taels one year from that date and the remaining 100 000 900 taels payable in six annual installments
 The first payment of 50.000, 900 taels falls due next November. The names of the Americans interested in the negotia- tions could not be learned at the Chinese or Japanese legations. If American sil- yer was used to meet the indemnity the amount would be equivalent to the silver coinage for two years while the Sherman law was in operation. It was reported some time ago that China had raised the war indemnity in Paris by securing the guaranty of Russia and France. This has not been confirmed, however, and the loan has not yet been made. The present negotiations with Russia and France refer mostly to the extra indem- nifty to be given because of the renun- citation of the Liao Tung peninsula by Japan, and do not refer to the main loan, which the Americans wish to secure"
