Am one familiar with the heavy oil I'evelopmcnis knows that a goodly part f the drilling is done on the hill known X-. th- " Point," near Franklin. It ri-e-from the bank of Fn-m h Creek in a very abriqit manner. Philip Gro man's brewery i-situated at the foot of South Park -trect, on the we-t -ide of the creek.

The ca-k- that hold the beer contain on an aeraire about ten barrels 1 each. One ca-k in the rear end of the ! ault is u-ed as a .-upply ca-k. All the ' other- are connected with this one by i pipes, and the supply ca-k being -unk-j en. i- alwav-, kept "full of beer. The ! hill at thi- "place is .-o steep that it can 1 not be a-cended.

The next day t':e well w'as tubed without being shot. I They commenced to pump it. and it threw- the fluid out at a great rate. No I ticing something queer about the oil. ' one of the men tasted it. He found it I so good that he put hi-, lips to the pipe J and took long gulps of the delicious i -lull". Fir-l one and then another drank. I Thev became what is known as drunk. The owners vi-ited the well, drank, and were overcome. Operators came to see il, drank, and were overcome. The people of the town, who had heard of it, went up the hill, drank, and were overcome. Little by li'tlc t.hey came to realize what thevhad been drinking. One man was found in the crowd who had tasted beer before. He atlirmed that it wa beer. but they laughed at him. How would this Rip Van Winkle elixir get into the bowels of the earl!.? At la-l Ihcy decided to call in undoubted au thority on the beer que-tioii, and sent for Phillip Gro man. Gros-maneaine.

Oil City )i rrick: Pickerel Fishing Through the Ice. At this tin:" of year there is no more exciting sport than pickerel li-hing through the ice. And. taking the whole year round. Maine sportsmen have no pursuit that is more exhilarating. Pick erel bile well after the ponds have ju-t frozen over, ami the lisjiermeu like to get on the ice about as -non a- it will bear their weight. Talk with an incor rigible angler for half an hour and you will generally lind him full of old chimney-corner super-titions and traditions of the forest ami -tream. One of the current beliefs is that the lir-t time a green hand goe-out he i-bound to have good luck. Another tradition is that pickerel sometimes swim or .-coot on a down grade, and sometimes on an up grade, and that when they have their noses pointed toward the bottom you can't catch one. if your pickerel bail were peaches and cream. The pi-cato-rial belief in the inlliieuec of the -igiis of the almamic i- profound. And your sly old fisherman generally consults his al manac before he catches hi- bait. "When the signs are in the belly they'll bite well every lime. I don't know what the meaning of it is. but I -'po-e they're hungry." aid a eteran whom we con-ultcd on the zodiacal que-tioii. Fi-h will not bite well when I hey are spawning. Their many trait-afford a wide range for study. " Fish are dread ful contrary critters." is the way the afore-aid veteran sums up his philoso phy. When the pickerel fisher finds the signs and the weather right, he takes Ids dip-net and goes down to the river after live minnows for bait. These foolish little fish are attracted into the line nie-hes by meal liberally fed to them. The pickerel doe.-n't rei-i-h dead food, and must be caught' with live bait. The fun of pickerel-li-hinc is in your ability to have -o many -trings a-going at once. Twenty-live is a fair number, although two men can ti-h with forty. Cutting the holes through the ice is fun. if you have a sharp chisel and I he ice isn't over four inches thick, but when you have two feet of -olid freeze under you and an old ax with which to penetrate it. it's more like business. Two men generally go together, and one set--the sticks and arranges the lines while the other cuts the holes. The man who -ets the lines first gets the bottom and id justs his bait about two feet above it more or less, perhaps, according to his own idea of the correct thing. The lines are attached to poles set in the ice at an angle of about forty-live degrees over the holes. Each line is al-o looped over a bob screwed loosely on the pole, so that when a pickerel bites and darts off. the bob is turned ami forms a cross with the longer stick, thus signalizing the fisherman. One of the ways of the pickerel is to chew his bait a little while, and this is in favor of his catcher. When the pickerel commence to bite before the lines are all set. :is they frequently do. the excitement is at its pitch. "There goes one!" shouts one man. There's another!'' shouts his chum, dropping his ax and running to pull him up. and when the twenty-five or forty lines are all in. ami are pulling -harp, who then wouldn't be a pickerel lisher? LcicMon (Me.) Journal. A Homance of the Jeanncttc. For more than eighteen months past a beautilul and accomplished young lady : of this city the lovely and roiiiance I inspiring footstool of the angels has 1 leen in a constant state of hope and despair. The news received night be fore last from the wandering Jeannette has sent gladness and sorrow to many a breast, but to the young lady in ques tion it has created the most anxious fears. Yesterday, just before the San Francisco train pulled out, a matronly old lady might have been seen support ing a heavily veiled young woman. They were evidently mother and daughter from the tender and motherly manner in which the elder lady looked after the slightest want of her compan ion. A Times reporter, noticing the couple, surmised that the young lady was laboring under some great mental sorrow. He looked toward the coach from which the ladies had just alighted and saw that it was a private carriage. His curiosity was aroused. He ap proached and cautiously interrogated the drh er. The old coachman was very reticent, and the news gatherer was about to give up in despair when an idea struck him. He. put it into execu tion at once by telling the old man that his interest in the two ladies had been aroused from the fact that he believed he saw a family resemblance between himself and them. 'I just arrived here the other day," said the reporter, "and I have every reason to believe that the elder lady is a very near relation of mine."' This nad the desired effect and xha poor old man unfolded a story of ro mance in real life that never occurs more than once in a century. It seems that Miss wa vi-iting friends in San Francisco during the winter of 1678-'J. She met Lieutenant Dancn hower. of the Tinted Mates Navy-, a noble specimen of manhood. The Lieu tenant was smitten with the fair daugh ter of Los Angeles. They met often. 1 and the sequel wa- soon evident in a ! desperate hue affair. Rut the old. old saying that true love never ran smooth j was never more plainly ilhi-trated than in this cae. For -eieral month- there was not a happier pair in all San Fran I cisco. This earthly bli-s could not la-t long, however. The Lieutenant was then under orders to sail with the ill fated Jeannette. A- the time drew near i tie -weet girl became -ad and pensive and it was a common thing for her to meet her loer with tearful eye-. She i told him her fears, and pleaded with all ! the eloquence only known to a lovely ' maiden, but her lover had been ordered by his country to go to alino-t certain death, and his honor would not permit I him to break his word, even for the : being he wor-hipped. Tie sad day of separation finally arrived and the two devoted lover- parted, possibly never to j meet again in this world. I This is the sad -tory told in brief by the old coachman who related his tale ' with tears in his eyes. " Yes. sir,1' said the old fellow, "she has been a different girl ever since. I Thev had only known one another a -hurt time, but I don't b -lieve two peo- pie ever loved as " ! this devoted couple. Why. -ir. I. m :her -aid that -when the Lieutenant esoie to bid her good-by it took two o: his brother offi cers to -cparatc them when the mo ment of parting came. She fainted al most as soon as he was out of the house. When she revived she ordered a car riage and immediately repaired to the Cliff House. As soon as she arrived there she took a stand where she could 'ct a "nod view of the Golden Gate. Neither commands nor coaxing could move her until she was satisfied the vessel had passed out to sea. After re turning to Lo--Angeles she led are tired life, having been convinced from the fir-t that -he would never -ee her lover again. She ha- never failed to be up by daylight since the .Jeannette sailed in order to read the telegraph news. That. sir. has been the only thing that has ever intere-ted her. When -he got the Times thi- morning and read the news from the Jeannette you might have heard her screams almost a mile off. The whole family wen! in bed at the time. When they reached her she was in a faint and everybody thought she was dead. Rut God was not kind enough to put the poor "irl out of her mi-erv. The lir-t ) thing -he said was; .Mamma, take me j to San Franci-co at once.'' She don't ' seem to know what she want.-, but her mother would start for the .-pot where the Jeannette was lost it her daughter would a.-k it."' " How old is she?" " She was nineteen la-t Oclo't rr. hut to look at her now voti would think -he was at lea-t thirty." , The young lady is well known in this city, and up to "within the jia-t two I years was one of the brighte-t and nio-t I "beautiful of Los Angeles belles. Her ' name is -uppre cd for the pre-ent. and her unfortunate hue affair is known by ' but few. :ts the family has made every ; effort to keep it quiet. I For the sake of the girl, il" for no otherreason.il i- nio-t devoutly hoped that the third boat with the gallant , Lieutenant and hi- brother officers will y'ct be saved. 1 This is probably one of the --adde-t i stories that has ever been chronicled on the Paciiie coast. The young lady's sad history i- very -imilar to Lady Fratik i lin's. "and -he will undoubtedly receive J great sympathy from the feminine por : tion of "the whole countrv. . Aii'iUs (Cal.) 'Huns. - General Grant's Cigar. A friend once said he made a calcula tion that the value of the cigar--inoked by General Grant during his campaigns would pay the whole cost of the late war and leave a re-pcctablc balance to begin the next. This wa- probably an ex aggeration, but he certainly did smoke a great many line and costly cigars dur ing the period alluded to. The writer was a witness and partly an aetor when four of General Grant's very costly cigars were consumed, or rather de stroyed, in a very brief space of time. Shortly before the close of the war he had occtision to bring .some important dispatches to headquarters, ami. as soon as they were opened and digested by the General, an invitation to breakfast followed, after which a cigar was ten dered and accepted, and the General and the writer proceeded down towards the wharf. This, which was an entirely new structure, was of immen-c length and had been built to replace one destroyed by lire, the result of an explosion of shells which were being landed for the ie of the arm v. There had been great lo-s of life from this accident, and to guard against repetition of it, the Gen eral had is-ued an order that no smok ing should be allowed on the wharf. To carry out the order the more effectually, sentries had been po-ted at each end, with directions to allow no one to pa with a lighted pipe or cigar. The Gen eral, who desired to give some instruc tions to the writer to lie adopted on his return, had evidently forgotten the terms of his own order about smoking, and stepped on the wharf cigar in mouth. He was immediately confronted by the sentinel (who happened to be a col ored man), who presented arms most respectfullv. but added: "Regparding. Gineral, but dere's no smoking" Towed heah." The General flung his cigar into the James, the writer followed suit, and we proceeded slowly down the wharf. Upon arriving at about the center of it the General stopped to emphasize some particular he was desirous to impress upon me. when he mechanically took from his breast pocket two other cigars, handed me one. and from his fusee case produced a light. After we got our cigars well started, he proceeded towanl the other end of the wharf, entirely ob livious of the fact that there was another sentinel there. Upon arriving at the end. however, the sentry, another colored man, drew himself up to his full height, saluted the General, and immediately- added. " Reg parding. Gineral. but dere's no smokin' Towed heah." Whereupon the General turned to me and said, "Confound these niggers, let's go somewhere where we cansmoke." and flung his cigar into the river, w hieh was followed by mine. It was supposed at one time that no cigar could be manufactured too strong for General Grant, but that has proved a fallacy. When he became President, some friends, knowing his taste for high flavored tobacco, sent an order to Hav ana for live thousand of the largest and strongest cigars that could be made, cost being no consideration. They were duly sent, when the order was com pleted, to New York, and co-t without duty SSOO a thousand, or eighty cents apiece. They were so strongr however, as not to be smokable even by the Gen eral, and he had to give most of them away to any of his friends who would accept them. Philadelphia Press. m A Chinese steamer the Meifoo has arrived in the Thames. It is the first of a regular line of steamers sailing i under the Chinese flag, intended to carry on direct import and export trade be tween the two countries. The Meifoo brings three thousand tons of tea. and it is said to be the first Chinese steamer ; which has ever delivered s-ucha cargo in Esgland. Occnpatlons for Winter Ercnings. In the long winter evenings there arc ' manv hours that can be made most u-e-ful in the household, if the father and mother will only adopt some plan of in- ( -truction and entertainment in which ; all the household can be included. It is too much the habit in familie-. both ! in th" country and city, to leave each member to go its own "way. The father reads his newspaper beside the center , table, and wishes no disturbance in hi? . vicinity: the mother, perhap-. is bu-y ' in the nursery with the younger chil- j Jren. or engaged in hou-ehold duties, , or absorbedm the page- of a magazine, , ir book, and takes Iixt I - heed of the ( vcupations of the older members oi ! the family. Perhaps tlie young men -eek amu-cmeiits abroad, and are al lowed to return home when thev please. umjue-tioned concerning their method , nl pas-ing mo long evce'ng. i no t older girl- receive their friend-in the parlor, or gather around tie table or j piano, occupied with fancy work or inu-ic. Etch one is independent of the other, and there is no community of in- t ere.-t. which make- the boi.d of home ' happine-s and inerea-es the love of its inmates. In families tlm- managed, ' what wonder that the -on- -eek ques tionable aniii-ciuents. the daughter-' make ill-a-.-orted marriages and lead unhappy live--, and the pareuts find, little Iiappine-s in their children. In their youth they gave them -belter and ' food.

One need not be able to play or sing -cientilic inu-ie to give plea-ure ' to children: and if the father is not will-; ing to lend his aid to the general enter-1 taiiiinent he should at lea-t not throw aj wet blanket over those who participate in it. by objecting to the di-turbaiief they create. The best way not to be di-turbed bv the noise is to join in the amusements:, but if you cannot be s(. unselfish as to rejoice in the others' joy, j quietly ab-ent you r-elf from their mid-t. There are many quiet games which ' can be played in a large family thai are both iii-tructiveand aniti-ing. Aftei ' the children's hour of fun. there could ! be an hour of reading aloud by some , member or members of the family.! There can be no better wav to increase the taste for choice literature than by i home reading, whether in a large oi -mall circle. In a village, a youny I people's club could be formed, to meet once or twice a week and take up a' course of reading, either hi-torical or; political, or in general literature. Hall a dozen or a dozen young ladies and gentlemen would lind -ueh a way ol , pa ing an evening quite as entertain- iii-rlvas if it were -pent in silly com er-a- ' tion' on dre-s. fashion and go ip. Read ing aloud is achariningaccomplishinent ' when one excels in it. and by practice ' almost everyone can succeed in it. am1 , take turns in the reading. In a circle ; of old friends of my acquaintance, some of them high in" the lifties. reading aloud while theothcrs worked, has been a practice for over a third of a century, and the mo-t charming hours of theii lives, nnt-ide their families, have beei, pa ed in this manner: and many a his- t torical work, many a biography, ami many a noteworthy novel, have beei, ( read by them, and are always closely a ociatcd with each other. ' The reading club need not be given up wholly to the young people, but the middle-aged and the old will also fimi theni a delightful entertainment in the, long snowy, dark evening-, when tin' monotony of home life seems almo-t un bearable." and the seven evenings of the week are looked forward to with almost dread, as they mu-t be pas-ed so stu pidly. The evening paper once read paterfamilias falls asleep heide the fire ' the kitten purrs upon the hearth run and the dog sleeps on the door mat,' while the mother clicks her knitting needles and sorts her wools, ami chide the children if they are too noi-v in their plays; and so the dull eveniii" drags along, until the father arouse, himself and thinks it is almost bed-time, and the mother put- away her knitting bag or her mending-basket and rejoices. Are not many hours of the winter e?en- j ings wasted. "or passed in such inonot- j onous occupations that the mind fairly rusts out before the body wears out? j Cor. Country fit nllt man. Geraniums in the Window Garden. It is very rare to see a well-grown ge ranimn invvindow culture. Even if the plants bloom fairly, they are often drawn up. misshapen things, not pleas ing to look upon. In the majority of cases, plants that have lieen set out in the garden for the summer are allowed to gfi as you please." The roots find ing an abundance of rich soil, the tops grow off at a famous rate. At the aj proaeh of cool weather the plants arc taken up as they stood: if any cutting is done, it is at the roots, to bring them within the limits of a pot, and the plants are placed in the window. As a conse quence of such treatment the majority of the h'aves fade and fall, ami show a lot of long, lankv stems, with a small tuft of leaves at the top. This condition of the plants is due either tr a lack of knowledge or to timidity. Amateur cul- tivators. as a general thing, seem to fear to use the knife: could the plants cuffer ' oain. they would not ho more reluctant :o cut. The proper method is to pre- i pare the plants for taking in long before the time for lifting them : but it i- too late to ail vise that as it is to suggest pruning ! them at the time of taking them up. . Even at this late day it is better to cut back the geraniums to a good shape j than to let them remain as they are. Of ! course each plant will have its own , needs in this respect, and only general ', advice can be given. Cut back the long , ;tems in such a manner that the plants will form a low, rounded head, and re- ! move altogether such branches a will . make the nead too much crowded. In . pruning the stems, cut just above a bud or leaf scar. If the cut be made just be low a bud. or hat f-wav between two 5uds. the stem will die down to the next i bud below, leaving an unsightly :ub. ; Kew growth will" soon start and the : plant will, after awhile, present an ap pearance so greatly improved that the ' owner 'will regret that it had not been ? done before. Geraniums are not the only window plants that need pruning i to lseep them in a neat form, but those who take proper care of their plants can ' do much of this by pinching with the thumb and finger nails, or removing al- . together those buds that appear where a shoot is not desired.
