New Yoke, Dec. 15.—[Special.]—Last
bight while I was seated iu th* man
ager’s office if the Casino theatre, Mr.
A r. nson suddenly turned around and
suid: “By the way, have you heard about
Co.d Oil Johnny ?'
“No; po.,r fellow, he is long dead;
why
“Dead in one sense, but strictly speak
ing. very much alive. He exists at thit
moment at Louisville, a one-horse village
not tar trom Badford, Pennsylvania."
I expressed great surprise, and Aron,
son continued: “I was passing through
the country last summer, when my com-
j.aui« nc.illcd my attention to a fine-look
ing farmhouse, occupying a plea-ant lo
cution, and all its surrounding indicating i
t'Ut>st,.mial prosperity.
•That.’ said the oil man, ‘is the cele-
b'.atod old McClintock farm,
early days ot Oil (..reeks petroleuri’ ex
eitem nt that farm spouted out millions
of do>lars to i.s o.\ner. The owner
was John Steele, the famous Coal Oil
Johnny, who Squandured the money as
fi.st us his \v ells spouted it. arid at last
became a tramp, as overyb</dy knows.
Thu •■-trauge»t thing about the property
is that that Jimmy Watt owns it now,
ami is a i ich man.’
•Whui is theje strange about Jimmy
Watt's ownership of the farm?’ I asked.
•Why, when Johnny Steele was squan
dering the millions the. farm produced
for him,’ replied Mr. Aronson, ‘Jimmy
Watt was his bootbaick. *
“Coal-Oil Johnny” disappeared from
public view several years alo He has
been reported as dead at. least a do/.en
times, but he is still in the land of the
living.
A gentleman staying at the Brevoort
house gave some interesting information
List nignt about the man whose prank-,
earned such a sensation in this city and
elsewhere.
“ Coal-Oil Johnny,’" Raid he, ‘is not

saw him a few days ago down

general utility man at ti.e station of the
Bull alo, Pi trtburg and Western railroad

can hardly remember anything of his
past life. The whole thing was like a
dream .o h:u.
John fcteele's wildest act was the buy
ing of the Continental Hotel. He did
nut retain possession of the house long,
as the oriental propr.otor rebought it the
next day.
He told me that he is by bo means a
poor man. air hough bis vast wealth is a J
tiring of the past. He claims that he is j
worth about $ 50,000. and if he can man - i

London, Dec. 14.—[Special.]—It is
rumored that Osman Dlgoa has offered
to give up Stanley and Fmi.q his pt bon
ers, if Egypt will abandon Suakim; oth
erwise they will be killed. The cabinet
is now discussing the offer.
The press is excited over the report,
and urge the cabinet to abandon all petty
differences while human Lfe is in peril,
and to accept the rebel chief's offer with
out parley. Tho Times suggests that in
case it should prove a subterfuge, treaty
should be made permitting the British
army to remain at the works in order to
recommence operations.
A Previous Dispatch.
London, Dec. 13.—The Standard fays
it lias reason to believe that a letter re
ceived at Suakim from Osman Cigna,
stated that flie MahJi's troops had at
last been successful; that Emin had
held out bravely,but his men mutineered
and delivered him, with the white trav
eler, (supposed to be Stanly), to the Mah-
di's leaders. Digna sends proofs tend

tions.

But Brooklyn will soon see his statue of

have cast an eye on the model of this
work say that it embodies the most sen
timentai conception that its autlior has
ever put in visible shape. His Wash
ington in Wail street,' Ins Shakespeare in
Central park, and his other productions
in public p aces, are severe in thair sim
plicity, but his Beecher is accompanied
by three subsidary figures of children,
one of them a negro strewing flowers at
his feet. In the view of at least one
critic this attempt at the romantic or
picturesque detracts from the classical
dignity of the design, and add3 an ele
ment not in keeping with the mettle of
the main figure. During tho lifetime of
Beecher he and the sculptor who is now
creating this commemorative work, were
mutual admirers of the warmest kind.

An amnsing story is told by a govern
ment officer wiio was instructed by the
secretary of the navy to remove the buoy
in tlie bay near the summer cottage of
Miss Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, because
it made her nervous- Miss Phelps and a
lady companion were so nervous that
they could not bear the noise of tlie buoy,
though it was impossible for people with
good nerves to hear the noise they com
plained of so piteously. The author of
“Gates Ajar’ was unable to bear the
slightest jar u;>on her system until the
Rev. Mr. Ward's yacht anchored near
her house. Then she became no much
improved lhat not even the splashing of
the water about the yacht or the heavy
tre. d of the young divine over the mat
ting-covered doors affected her unpleas
antly. Since her marriage Mrs. Ward is
much better, and the officer who has to
remo/e the buoy has put it ba k with
the assurance tliat next summer he will
have no order* to disturb it. He pre
scribes matrimony for all maiden ladies
who have nerves sore annoyed i»v buoys,
even though they are nearer to the shore
than half a* mile. Apropos of the sons
marriage to Miss Phelps, the Rev. Dr.
Waid of the Independent has suffered
&r much annoyance from letters and tel
egrams of congratulation as did Miss
Phelps from the buoy. He is a widower,
and the first published announcement
made him the bridegroom instead of his
eon- He bore the letters with equanim
ity, but when the writers of poetry bore
down upon him he protested.

DIVlSCx OF STATES.
The quesjp “shall Dakota he

arate states,’nas brought forth con
siderable dijiission not only in the
newspapers/of the country, hut
among threRepresentatives and Sen-
ihington. No measure

ession looking to the in-
of uew states. This will
:ter the 4th of March, and
admit Dakota will he fully
and iu all probability
There is no reason why
should he admitted as two
xcept for a political purpose,
are no divided interests, no
te pursuits, professions, or
ar tastes that distinguish
■een them geographically. There
state iu the union where the
f mutual interests, and common
pathies are so closely drawn to-
er as in the territory of Dakota,
only reason offered for division
that of size, prompted as a pre-
xt for a base, political manoevre.
With equal justice, could not the
state of Texas, ask for a division
into three or four states? Could
not Missouri and. the other large
Democratic states, with equal fair
ness and with equal reason, ask for
division of their territory.
Division is not only against the
policy of the government, which has
been to admit a territory with the
imitations originally fixed by the
laws of Congress, hut it establishes a
precedent which may have its out
growth in rebellious uprising and
confusion. It will be an invitation
to other states, to put in their claims
for division, and when this fatal poli
cy is inaugurated there is no telling
where it will have its termination:
If Dakota is to be admitted
let her be admitted as sl^e
is to to-day with her territory un
divided, and her limits undisturbed.

ONE of the most interesting and f the eye, showing the source and
instructive exhibits, and by long odds < strength of the famous fertilizers
the most striking display in the agri- J made and distributed among planters
cultural and mineral department of j Jq the well known brands of the com-
Auguata’s exposition, excepting only j pany, comprising Baldwin Fertilizer
the immense State exhibit of South Company’s Ammoniated Dissolved
Carolina, is that of the Baldwin Fer- ~ . ~ _
tilizer Company, whose office is in
Savannah, and whose factory at Port
Royal is faithfully represented above.
Mr. George J. Baldwin is Presi
dent of this well known company,
which represents a paid in capital of
$250,000, and the exhibit in Augusta
is under the charge of Capt. Thos.
W. Carwile and Dr. Fred Hunter,
two of the best known, experienced
and most popular fertilizer men in
the South. Captain Carwile is per
fectly at home in Augusta, where his
friends are limited only by the popu-
resence are
e company
lation, and his name aud pi
a tower of strength to thi
he represents. Dr. Hunter is equally
well known in his section, and the
immense business of the company is
due in large measure to its energetic
agents.
The Baldwin Fertilizer display is
not an array of sacks for field use,
1 that Pope Leo has no intention but an ideal and instructiva appeal to
' ; Rome,
Bone,and Georgia State Grange Fert
ilizer, Bone and Potash Acid Phos
phate, Kainit, etc. The entrance to
the company’s spare is under an im
mense arch, formed by the whitened
and monumental proportions of the
lower ja w-bone of a whale, while sam
ples of fertilizer ingredients in their
natural and original condition or
ready for use are displayed in attrac
tive arrays. A pyramid of river rock
phosphate is an immense and inter
esting object lesson, while a 900
pound boulder of pyrites, the source
of sulphuric acid used in tho factory,
is suggestive of the value of North
Georgia and other mines to the fer
tilizer industry. Another lesson is
furnished in a tempting array of rich
yellow corn, capped with oats, show
ing rseults of using Baldwin’s brand,
the two crops being produced the
same year. A cabinet of fossils and
samples of fertilizer ingredisnts oc
cupies the centre of the space, and is
▼ery interesting to the scientist and
the practical farmer as welL Anoth
er tall pyramid is of acid phosphate-
rock ready fox use and containing 18
per cent, of available phosphoric acid.
The skull of a giant, whale occupiea
a very conspicuous corner, and am
ong ether curiosities is one which can
only by duplicated in the Smithsonian
Institute. | It is a specimen of German
potash salts in crude form; and an
other is a sample ot carnallivo, the
orginal source of all manufactured
potash salts. The display of these
and other features of a great fertiliz
er company is made with pleasing and
popular effect by Messrs. Carwile
and Hunter, and the information they
give in person and through cards and
sketches is eagerly sought and ap
preciated. These facts and the ad- *
ditional information that the Port
Royal Factory, with its capacity of
eighteen or twenty thousand tons, is
kept busy in supplying the demand of
the people, will give some idea of tho
popularity of this Southern company
and of its ideal and admired display at
Augusta’s National Exposition.
