SUMMER FRIENDS IN ARKANSAS.
Bad Disappointment of Andy SplHors
When He Visited Judge Caplin.
Arkaneaw Traveller.
Several weeks ago, while Judge Gaplin
was out on a fishing excursion, he took
daring a rain storm in the house of
old Andy Spiliers. The old man, aware of
his guest's high position, made extra ef
forts to entertain him, and. after the
storm had subsided, accompanied him to
the creak and caught a awing of flab for
him. The jurist expressed in warm terms
his gratitude, and. upon taking his de
parture, said:
“My dear sir, I should be pleated to re-
cell# s visit from you In the city, and let
ms say that, should you come thither, I
shall deem It a pleasure to entertain you.”
“Gut you are such a high roan In town,

“Oh, I ain’t afeerd, Jedge., Idonthang

claimed the judge. “Good bye, and don’t
forget to call on roe."

HORACE OREIt-EV'S LAIT WORDS.
The Manly utterance of a Proud, Brava
Heart.
New York Tribune, November ?, 1872.
There has been no time until now, with
in the last twelva years, when the Tribune
was not suppoaed to keep for the benefit
of the idle and incapable a sort of Federal
Employment Agency, established to get
pieces under the government for those
who were Indisposed to work for their
living.
Any man who has ever voted the Re
publican ticket believed It wes the duty
and the privilege of the editor of this pa
per to get him a place In thecustom house.
Every red-noeed politic!** who had cheat
ed at the caucus and fought at the polls,
looked to the editor of the Tribune to se
cure tils appointment as gauger or at army
chaplain or at minister to Prance. Erery
campaign orator came upon us after the
ha tie waa over for a recom r.endatlon as
Secretary of the Treasury or the loan of
hell a dollar. ....
If one of our party had an Interest pend
ing at Washington the editor of the Trib
une wes telegraphed in frantio haste to
come to the capital, save this bill, crush
that one. promote one object or stop an
other. He was to be everybody’s friend,
with nothing to do hut take care of other
folks’ business, sign papers, write letters,
and ask favors for them and get no thanks
for either. Four-fifths ot these people
were sent away w’thout what they wanted,
only to become atralghtway abusive ene
mies. It was the worry-of life to try to
gratify one demand in a doaen for the
other fifth.
The man with two wooden lege congrat
nlated himself that he conla never be
troubled with cold feet. It is a source ol
proud satisfaction to ns that offloe-seeker*
will krep aloof from a defeated candidate
who has not influence enough at Washing
ton or Albany to get a sweeper appointed

The next objective point was the Uni-

the following intelligent dialogue:

"Cleveland pro semperl"

"Cupisne b’bere?"
“Cum mnlto voluptate; Jacobus (to the

Corners.
Journal of Commerce.
Nature laughs at the puny efiorts of man
to corner her products. It is always pos
sible to forestall the market for a eh rt
time. A powerful combination with
plenty ot money may succeed In making
an artificial scarcity ot natnre's staples
and raising the price on them. But such
rings and pools are effective only for a
season. They often break to pieces
through internal treachery before they
have 0 msnmmated their purpose. In the
vety act of cornerlDg a staple they stimu
late the demand for its production.
People set themselves to work
to meet this demand It it
felt In the remotest part of the world.
New fields are opened no for Its supply.
It Is only a question of time whenfnatnre
gains the mastery over all anoh efiorts to
control her products. Besides increasing
the snpplv, a corner, by raising the price,
decreases the consumption, and toll Is
sometimes as potent a factor lu defeating
the project as gain in toe yield. The his
tory of corners In wheat, pork, petroleum
aud other great staples Is one of failnr
interspersed with occasional snoceises
short anration. There can be no lasting
co tier established in snch things.
The marvellous fecundity ot toe petro
leum belt Is a cause ot great grief to. those
who waot to keep np the prices of crude
oil. If they could have their way they
wou'd make the boring ot new wells a
penal ofieDae. Nutbing shocks thira so
mnch as the announcement that ucs oil
territory has been found in some place Just
outside of the theoretical limits or the belt.
Pretentious geologists have undertaken to
define these Donnas lee. They are as con
fident in their statements as it the/ hud ex
plored the bowels of too eartbjmd seen the
deep sunken oil measures tor themsi Ives.
These men.llke many other profes ed scien
tists, are fully as Ignorant as toe rest of
mankind about the origin and distribution
of nature's subterranean stores. Thera Is,
in fac , no proper cause for astonishment
when wo hear that In a region where the
existence of oil bad not previously been
•nspected.a "gusher" Is suddenly struck
yielding the enormous amount ofO.OuO
barrels a day. The history of petroleum
in the United States has been one of sur
prise. New sources of supply have atwa/s
been discovered jnst when the old ones
were giving out. The latest finds seems
to aurpsts all that have cone before. Por
aught we know the petroleum bnslness o
this country, vast as It is, Is atilt In Its In
fancy. The oil deposits hitherto worked
may prove bnt a small part of the chain
of reservoirs to be found not only in Penn-
•ylvanla but in other 8lates where the
presence of the treasure Is not now sus
pected. The day Is still remote when Rua-
sle will be able to compete with American
petroleum In the market!of Europe. Even
if she has the oil in abundance, lu quality
fa far Inferior to that of toe American
product.
The moet recent attempt to bring a nat
ural produce within the grasp of s monop
oly *s reported tom Pittsburg. Certain
ambdiotu capitalists cherish the design of
cornering toe gas which is now obtained
in steadily Increasing volume from Wes
tern Pe nsylvanl*. It is only a few
months since the boring of gw wells be
came a recognized and lucrative basinets.
Previously gas bad been en accidental
product, and by no means desired by
those who were tapping the earth
for oil. It waa a troublesome thing,
which at first waa regarded only as a ca
riosity and allowed to rnn to waste. When
the gee well happened to be situated
near some furnace or factory toe product
was utilised for heating and lighting.
But it wee a long time before any syste
matic efiort was made to save the gas and
conduot It tbrongh pipes to distant points.
Nobody knew how long the flow would con
tinue. There were doubts whether It would
pay to maka pipe connections for the de
livery of the gas to any bnt near
by places. Experience to now prov
ing thet the gas wells are steadier
than the beat petroleum wel’a. Some of
them have been yielding for over a year
without abatement In quantity and Initial

late Democratic triumph, to on hand
promptly with a cabinet all properly join
ed lor President Cleveland. Several ex
cellent names are suggested,. especially
those of ex-Senator Thurman, ex-Senator
McDonald, etc., bnt we eeriously object to
the omission of Kentucky in theliatof
representation. Kentucky is certainly
more entitled to a place than Pennsylva
nia; therefore we suggest the withdrawal
of Mr. Usndall for Secretary of the Navy
And the substitution of the name of Henry
Watteri in, whose modesty doubtless pre
vents him from presenting his claim and
that ot his noble commonwealth. Mr. W.
lacks familiarity with naval affairs, bat so
did Robeson and Bill Chandler at th«
start. There Is a suggestion of water tnlils
name which ought to count for something,
and the foot that he has bees at sea for
years on some of toe leading economic
questions is a big point in his favor. Ai d

about me.”
He (aghast) -"Well, by Jove! I hope I
