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, Jedge, " - — only a man, and I beseech yon, htye no heellsnny In approaching me/' , “Oh, I ain’t afeerd, Jedge., Idonthang back for nobody.” “You are right," ex claimed the judge. “Good bye, and don’t forget to call on roe."

The result of three throws of the dice was that the stranger lost each time.

"You owe me thirty cents.” “I guess not,” said the stranger,* as he openea the door; "I said I could boat you, and I guess I’ve done It.” ' Fooling a OonaoUntloua Conduotor. Cincinnati Tlmcs-Stsr.

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 nnder the sergeant at-ann., or a deputy snb-asslstaui clerk Into the paste-pot sec tion ot the folding-room.

The next objective point was the Uni- Teralty Club, Id its comfortable quarters In Hidisou Square. The first thing over heard by the C. 0. in the refreshment room, to which he naturally drifted, was the following intelligent dialogue: "Quid novi?" "Cleveland pro semperl" "Sum enm te." "Cupisne b’bere?" “Cum mnlto voluptate; Jacobus (to the mixer of drinks), date mihi candam galli Junloerl." “Eadem pro me." “Cum." “Bece tlW." (Exeunt omnes—etlam "file reporter.") It mey excite remark that a mere con- eootor of the galli candi should understand the dead langnagas, but la well known that Bieiorvanta of the clnb have to pass a competitive examination before being al lowed* to minieter to the wante ot the members.

Good-bye, old turncoat Ketch yon out my way an' I’ll mop np the face o' the yearth with yon." 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 fores - Hills and factories six or eight miles away an now continuously supplied srlth light and heat.

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 so so we “splice the msla brace” In honor of toe nemfnatton of Henry Watterson as Secretary of the Navy. Ha la Corrsot. Wall Street New*.
