'When the oil excitement spread from Pennsylvania to Ohio, a Ger man near Liverpool began to sink a well in his back yard. All the work was done by hand u_>wer, and his drills were of the cheapest make. He hammered away for week after and month after month, until he was pretty near the roof of China. Then e. few of us planned to give him a surprise and make life worth the living, or at least a . few hours of it We got a gallon of crude oil and poured it into and around the well, in which the drills were still at work. This was done at night, and next morn ing when we got around there ac cording to agreement, Hans was sitting on a bench, arms folded, and his pipe alight. “What! Struck it at last,” ex claimed one of the boys in great astonishment. „ “Yaw, I haf struck her,” was the calm reply. “Really got oil! Old fellow, let us congratulate yon!” We all shook hands with him, got down and tasted the oil and in spected the well, and finally one of the crowd inquired: “Hans do you want to sell out?” “Yaw, I sell out,” was the com placent rejoinder. “Well, we are here to bay if we can get satisfactory figures. You know as well as we do that your well will probably prove a hum mer. It promises at least a thou sand barrels a day.” “Meybe two ^thousand,”^ said - Hans. “Who can say? Now, give us your lowest - figure, right off, quick. We want the well only. You can still live in your house. What’s your figure?” “Vhell, I take feefty dollar.” . “What?” “Vhas she too high ? Vhell, I make it forty dollar. Dot pay for my tools and makes me all right.” “Why, man, do you. mean that you only ask forty dollars for this thousand-barrel oil well?” “Dot vhas who I mean, und if she vhas too high I make it five dolln less. Shall we make oudt some paper?” Ann we had to back square down and back out of the back yard feeling that we had been left. As the matter turned out the well would have been dear at 40 cents.

There is much to be said in favor of this. Certainly it would make the infa mous labdr of a “jury fixer” more uncertain: It is much harder to get three scoundrels npon a jury than one. As it is one villain may thwart eleven just men; one sconn- may turn a murderer loose upon society, and encourage a score of other mudei’ers to continue their deadly work in the hope that a “hung jury” may interpose be tween them and the proper ven geance of law. The custom of putting house maids into livery, which is com mon enough in England, is begin ning to be adopted in New York. The costume, or uniform, consists of a skirt of dark livery cloth, blue, green or brown, with plain front and broad pleats at the . back; a waistcoat of the same cloth, with fine crosswise lines of red braid, and a coat cut eway in front . and covering the hips. Metal livery buttons are used'on the coat and waistcoat. A small white cap, stiff white collar and cuffs, and a white cravat completes the attire. Simon Pokagon, chief of the Pottowatomie tribe of Indians which inhabited Northern Indiana and Southern Michigon when first settled by the whites, will shortly receive for distribution among his people the sum of $200,000 from the government, in full for the set tlement of all claims of that once powerful tribe. The distribution will probably take place in Poka gon, Gass county, which town is named for Chief Pokagon’s grand father. 1890,-tbe following property, to-wit: Oni mouse-colored mare mule named Bit, about ten years old.

Georgia—Houston County: Commenting upon the fact that George W. Cable was the guest of a negro in Nashville the other day, and that the southern whites will hereafter close their doors to him, the New Y^rk World says: “This would seem to indicate that there is considerable prejudice against negroes in some parts of the country.” Does the World mean to say that it approves of Mr. Cable’s act? Does it think that many northern people would do what Cable did?—Savannah News.. ► —_ * A large white horse named Dixey, and owned by John Row land of Danville, 111., jumped out of a box car a few miles of Craw- fordsville, Ind., while the train was running at a high rate of speed.

After years of suffering from nervous derangement and consti pation, and after being treated by several leading physicians, from whom I obtained no relief, I was induced to try S. S. S.
