CIIAS i'Ol.T, I'. C. C. j Nov 'JO l? 4f | VKAHDFATHER LICKSHINGLE DE8CRIBE6 THE FIRE-FIEND. Grandfather Lickshinglc broke the silence yesterday evening as follows : "I toll you what it is, children, there's ' no use talk in*. The newspaper men of to- !' day can't sling ink with their grandfathers, j j They're dogeneratiu'. This country sets ^ no graphic writin' like it did when your grandfather was ridin' the editorial tripod like a A'itch astride the gale. I know of j * no place that affords a bettor field for de- 1 scriptivc writiu' than these very oil regions. ( Why, the fires you havo heard of can't be beat, cxeeptiu' of course, beyond the tomb. When I hoar of one of these ^enflug^ntionj ' I jusV nclic to fa tec my pen in hand an describe it in my own graphic style." (Grandfather closed his eyes, swayed to j ' and fro on his ensv chair, while his face ' ' glowed with enthusiasm. lie seemed to be ' in a transport of joy. ''Jlring forth n.y good gray quill," he ' ?t 1 1 .? f ami it-i me paint tnc ourntn town." ~ One of the children said ho thought grandfather was goiu<* to have a fit; father said he was only in the newspaper business, in his imagination, at a salary of a thousand dollars a week, but would soon be all right. "Tis night Fire ! fire! fire !"' said grandfather, rapidly tracing a sheet of imaginary paper with a gnoso-quill of the mind.? "l'ira! fire ! lire ! and the affrighted winds took up the cry. The fire-fiend, with his sword of llauij, was seen leapin' from the back wiudow of a bnkc-shop, brcathin' smoke and forked lightin' from his nostrils. ( In an instant the sleopin* city was out on the floor barkin' its shins on chairs and things in a mad hunt after its pantaloons. Hush ! hark ! T|te lire-fiend rushes on and an like a war-horse, lcavin' destruction in his trail. Look ! he scales the side of yon , corner grocery, even as afcitchen-maid would . scale a fish, an' with his fiery, forked tongue, licks the hungry holocaust that he is, ho is , lie-ken' up the sign, 'Salt mackerel, bacon, flour, feed an' provisions,' as if he hadn't tasted a bite for a month. S?> '??? ' - - "-r , lli?r eaves of (ny. Judy's, bower. an' gorge | himself upon the ginger bread work of the cornices. Now lie hurls his body through ( the windows of yonder residence, ransacks i the premises an' escapes like a rocket ' through the roof, lie turns saniersauits 1 from housetop to housetop, knocks over chimney-pots, dances a jig on the hot shingles, like ll:e boy on the buruin' deck, an' without as nui'di as a '1 > >k out behind' rains ' a shower of sparks upon ihe heads of the ( panic stricken populace l>ut sec him now! j He spits upon his caliouscd hands an* scoots 1 np the libcity-pole like a cat np an apple 1 tree. Up ! up! up ! Higher ! higher high 1 or ! Higher, and yet higher ! Higher than < a hail! Higher than the price of butter. ] until now wi.th one fiery foot he tiptoes it i upon the topmost tip the while lie flings ' his arms of tlaine about him like a village 1 l;\vycr making a Fourth of July oration. N ov he places a thumb to his nose, an' ( with his extended fingers describes a circle in the face of the man in the moon, while ( lie laps his forked tongue about the American Hag. an' swallows it before a loyal pcopic ean shoot him on the. spot."?Oil City ! /> rrick. ; I The comfort of stock is greatly promoted i by good shelter. How different the sleek and con'entcd cattle and sheep are in a wcl protected barnyard from the poor, rough- ( haired, pinched up stock in an open field. . On entering such a yard, the first thought < is, how comfortable the creatures look.? Think also of the economy. It may cost something to put up sheds an I high tight | fences, hut in the long run it costs more to feed half starved cattle. Before any animals can ho fattened, a certain amount of' food must he expended in keeping them warm. If healthy cattle and sheep have! as much food as they can cat, they will per i haps go through the winter in ab tit as good health as they could if well lions I. | even though they be exposed to nil tiio iig- | r.r #t i: 1 * - .... ... viiti.ku, uui uk* amount o! toil- | der they will consume is enormous nod if ( thev arc not thrifty at the start, or net short ol fmhler. it will j?u haul with hem Cow > will abort their eilves. sheep ^... die , thi" laiohs Will h heriiile.nl. ai. > e?' are almost sure I Jollov.- ?\\ . i Country (11 nth until. ?

The popular belief in the incurability of ;ousuniptiou now scents to be on the road >o complete overthrow. The change in lentiuient has not been brought about by my new method in treatment, uor has there )ccn a perceptible enlargement in the uum?cr of those now living who can claim that ,hey have had and recovered from this dis. I...4 ? ... - ww, uiu mu cviuooce upon which the rertsion in opiniou is based is even uioro conclusive than that which could by any possibility bo obtained Trout either of these ,wo sources. It is s:uiply this, that post nortem exmninatio- have rcvcul$d the fact ^ :hat pdhr.onarf phthisis is a complaint of imch greater frequency than has been comnonly supposed, and that multitudes of tcopli have had tho disease, and lave been ^radically cured of it, who hare never so nuch as suspected the cause of their illicss. In a series of examinations, made hmiic time since at the hospital at Kdin>nrgh, it was found that the lnngs of not ess than one-third of these who died when >vcr 40 years of age were in a condition hat could bo accounted for ip no other way ban by the supposition that ?t some period n their lives consumption had existed, and jnd afterward been checked or cured. Porions of the lungs had bum destroyed, but lie cavities formed had been healed by conraction and adhesiou of their walls, or the lisintegratcd substance had been shut in by he formation of fibrous tissue. In tho ccords of post mortnn examinations at the ialtpetricre Hospital, at Paris, a similar cxjcricuco is found, except that in this case lie ago was advanced t? 60 years and over, iud of this class more than one-half wcro hown to have suffered from consumption it some period in their lives. There may >c nothing new iu this to well-informed mcd cai men, but to the non-professional reader he information cannot fuil to be reassuriug. I'hc disease is to a great extent hereditary, md there are probably thousands of people in this city who every now and then are k'isit.'d by the gloomy thought that they arc liable at any time to fall Tictims to this Icadly inheritance. If these can be made to believe that they have already passed through the ordeal, a supposition which, in the majority of cases, would probably bo a true one. no slight addition wi'l be made to he sum total of human happiness.?Arm York Tnurs. Xkcko Disfkanciusemknt ?Washingon. Peccnibor 10.? Some of the loaders of he iicpublican party arc of opiuion that he outrage business cannot he made a tell- s ng issue in the next Presidential campaign. It i? a mere matter of sentiment, they say. uid does not come home to the people a? >raeti<>al issues always do. They admit hat if the white people arc to control the Houtheru States, they must also, to a very urge degree, control the negro vote. The rotes of the ignorant and dependent clasps are always more or less controlled by the vcalthy and intelligent portion of tho population. Kni I road corporations can and do lictate to their employees. So d\> mill own-* >rs in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.? l>ut there is ;? practical question growing >ut of the Southern outrages, say these men, which will claim the attention of the Northern public mind, and that is the question of representation. The South has twenty representatives based on negro votes. If these votes are to couut for nothing, save to add representation to the South, then tho North will demand that. snnipfMno be done. The North pays the great proportion of taxes, and it will not hare its money voted away to its disadvantage by these twenty additional representatives, which in effect give the South the control of the government. The reply to this by Southern men is : "You amended the constitution, and intposed negro suffrage upon us. and wo haTc suffered immeasurable evils thereby. Now that the advantage is to be reaped by us, you want to undo what yon have dom*.? W'r. had no choice in the matter, but had to take a very large proportion t' evil to L'( t a little good, and we mean bold on to that lit'le." All the indications now point an ngilatioi: at no late day for the distMiichise-. nient of the negro, and the I. p 'blieans w.ll deliberately prop.** it.
