The grocery men and oil dealers

lar attention to the notice in anoth-
er column stating that they will not
fill orders for oil unless the con-
fainer is sent with the order. The
less of cans they state under any
other system is such that it more
than offsets any profit they make on
the oil they sell. aud it is asking
the deliveryman too much to stand
in the cold to make exchange of
cans. The customers ian must be
at the store to be filled before the
order for oil will be accepted.

The Rambler finds the following ref

of the District Of Columbia:
As the only whig Of the Harrison admnstra-
tiOn retaining has portfono III the admins
tration Of Tyler Daniel Webster, Secretary Of
State, was bitterly denounced. bnt personal
inclina tion and interest were sulordnated 10
what he considered his duty To the public
in carrying to- completion the negotiation
which resulted IN the settlement, of the vexed
northeastern boundary dispute with England.
Lord Ashburton. MS the rep-' sentative OF Eng
land, came to tbs county this mission.
He leased the residence loaa street.
Webster, OH entering upon his duties as
Secretary of state, purchased the Swami h"use,
1911 II street and for the first time during
his public life in Washington us n member of
two decades he had his own home in This
city. The location of the two houses brought
the two Degotiatois In close proximity both in
a business and social way.
1p financial matters Webster did not possess
the qualities that gave him success as states
man. 50 that when he left the State Depart
ment in the course Of a couple OF years he was
unable to keep house on the scale he had set
UP In the Swami house. However. upon re-
turning TO the Senate, in 1s45, hc did not 60
back 10 the practice OF his earlier days in
