West From Lone Grove.

John Sheperd brought to town
yesterday a quantity OF mineral
asphalt from his place on Wolf
Greek some twelve miles west from
here which unquestionably Is one Of
the richest pieces OF the raw material
that we have yet seen.
The piece left at the ARDMoREITE
Office is highly impregnated with
petroleum, and is sufficient to show
the most skeptical that an abundant
supply OF oil exists in the vicinity.

According to his own observations

prosPectorl he could easily trace the
layer over ten acres Of land.
Mr.. Sheperd is highly elated over
his find, and the ARDNOREITE con-
graduates him on his good luck and
trusts that IL may prove a bonanza

Tho Faust Legend.

Almost every renowned man OF an
tiquity in the middle ages was believed
to be attended by spiritus familiaris,
and not few were suspected of being
in direct league with the devil Proba-
bly, the oldest legend of which the Faust
legend is continuous thread is that Of
Simon Magus, mentioned in the history
Of the apostles.
According to Justin, he was native
Of Clifton, village in Samaria. He
was, no doubt, man Of great intellec-
|; tual powers. He was the father of the
school of the Gnostics. 1t is also report
ed Of him that he could make himself
invisible, that he could pass through
flames unframed, could transLsse mat
ter. make gold and exercise demons-in
fact, he laid claim to all these powers
aud his name lived in the mouths of the
people as sort of Demiurg through
many centuries until some other miracle
working personality took his place at
the popular fireside. Unusual accom-
plishments, great erudition, were at
tributed to the supernatural influence,
end the general disposition to supersti-
lions assumption was strengthened ON
the one hand by dogmatic affirmation
on tho part Of the church of the exist
ence of personal satan, with his nu-
merous household, and, on the other
hand. by Incorporating the magic arts
among the practical sciences, of which
astfology and alchemy occupied no mean

WHAT THE GRAND DUKE HEARD.

European Officers Discussed the Capture
Of American Cities.
The Grand Duke Alexis was at Kiel.
He is full Russian admiral now, and
the head of the Russian navy. He was q
frequent visitor to the Americans, and,
like all the other notables, talked with
the utmost frankness to our officers.
One day, watching the Columbia as
she rode the waves as lightly and with
the easy grace Of blue wing teal, the
grand duke said to captain: I'm glad
you Americans are rebuilding your feet.
Do you know what most impressed me
when visited your country? Let me
tell you. The first thing was your Won
derful national wealth; the second, the
absolutely inadequate means at your dis
posal for national defense. You were
like drunken man with pockets full Of
money and two or three hungry ruffians
on the dark side Of the street waiting o
chance to attack him"
"Why, do you mean to say began
the somewhat startled captain, when
the Russian put his hand on the other 8
arm and said: "Twice in my career l
have heard the project of capturing one
or two of your great cities and holding
them for ransom deliberately discussed
by officers of European fleets whose
countries had hard work to make ends
meet. And they meant it too. once
made q sensation when, after listening
to conversation of this kind, in which
the officers Of four different fleets took
part, said: Gentlemen, the United
States and Russia are friends. Should
she be unjustly attacked, Russia would
help to see that the wrong was righted. ,
