Hammond, are growing in interest.
"The peculiarities ot Mr. Hammond,"
says that paper, "are less noticed than
at first, and many of ojr best people
are taking an interest in thee efforts.
Whatever may be said by the fault
finding or indifferent, if people's lives
can be made purer and better . by such
movements, if quarrels between neigh
bors can be settled, and men and wo
men can be made contented with tlieir
lot and patient in the trials of life, every
friend of Society should be willing to
let such work go on, cveu if he does
'not lake an active part in it," - If good
is effected and there can be no donbt ot
that fact by Mr. Hammond's ministra
tions, it cannot matter as to his style or
manner; let all who are sincere iu their
desire to do good and ; advance tlie
cause of religion, lose sight of Mr. Ham
mond and devote themselves to vthe
work, that Christ's Kingdom may be
exalted.

The country Is familiar' with the- petro
leum bubble of years ago; how men rose In'
the morning beggars, and retired7 alt night
millionaires; how nabobs' became mendi
cants in the breath- of a wliith One ot- the
heroes of those notable days is Johnny
Steele, or 'Coal-oll Johnny." as he Is now
familiarly called. His history is known
to all newspaper readers, aud they will re
member how lie went to bed one night a
laborer at $20 a month, aud awoke in the
morning tlie heir ot the richest oil well in
Venango county. He didn't know what
to do with the money which flowed from
liis well. He it was who purchased a hotel
in Philadelphia at extravagant figures, and
gave it away the next day; who would buy
up a dance bouse at a big price lor tlie
privilege of "running it" one night; who
would purchase a fancy team, use it once,
and give it away; who bought a minstrel
troupe, and lan it a whole season for' the
luu of it; who never refused to lend money,
nor asked its return.
He stepped from penury, through one
million aud a-half of dollar?, back to pen
ury again, in sixteen short months. Ihen
he came West; and now he is at work with
a gang of bridge builders in Shelby county,
down on the liock Island road, at a salary
ot one hundred and seventy-five cents a
day. He is just as happy and contented
with his frugal fare and lowly lot as when
he backed hi the smi!e3 ot Fortune's favors.
His wife clings to him iu adversity with
true-hearted love, and accepts the situation
with all the grace which characterizes a
noble woman. She joined his fortunes
when sunshine gilded his path; she now
seeks to make his pathway bright beneath
the shadows of adversity. Tlieir home is
at Duulap. Johnny says many ot tlie
stories of his wasteful extravagance are
false. His reverses came from loans made
to friend.-:, who failed to lepay them. A
broken bank carried down $.20,000 at one
swoop, and another bank took $40,000.
Out of the wreck of the latter he hoped to
get enough te get his good wife a beautiful
dress aud a nice new house. Desmoines

The Mosquitoes of Aktic Land. In
a work recently published iu Loudon, The
Land nfthe Xurth Wind, or Travel among
the Laplander and tlie Sqmoyede, the author,
Edward Roe, gives the following account
of the Artie mosquitoes, which almost
makes us content witli our own: 'The one
bitter drop in our cup of joy was tlie mon
strous but inseparable curse of Artie sum
mer life the mosquito. He abounded,
flourished, luxuriated, surpassed himself,
out-mo?quitoed himself, ou the Kuloi river.
We were at liis mercy; our veils, gauntlets,
haiidkercheifs, flappers, all were a vanity
and vexation. To kill was wanton, for
to destroy sufficient was impossible. We
had foreseen all this, an-1 even thought of
taking, among other thing, a woodpecker
from home to protect one faces while we
slept; but one woodpecker would have
been a solemn mockery; we slionld have
waiued a lresh woodpecker every five,
minutes. I suppose these were the histori
cal flies sent to piinl-h the disobedient, ob
stinate Egyptians: tliey came forth in order,
and after three grievous plagues tlie cor
ruption of the waters, the multitudes of
frogs and tlie swarms of lice had entirely
failed. We are becoming connoisseurs In
mosquitoes; we watch them traverse our
veils like figures ou slides in a magic
lantern. There is tlie yeHow striped vam
pire mosquito, with a triple fang to his
proboscis, there is tlie brown, hunchback
or camel mosquito, with legs of gossamer,
who appear to our vindictive eyes to be
from two to three inches in length; finally,
there is the scorpion mosquito, very search
ing and business like. We dislike him
greatly, for he wa-tes no time. We know
now that kvitlier is a hollow delusion, and
ariiior-ptuted gauntlets are alone of avail."
ISOW HE WON HER. j
A young couple were occupying a rustic
seat in Union Park one evening recently
and, from the expression ot the masculine
representative's face, it was evident that
ho was "a goner" tl rifted, as It were, over
the great psychological Niagara of affection.'
ami was even then being dizzily whirled
about in the frothy whirlpool of sentiment.
The swimming swans had no charm tor
him; the eagles were as nothing; and he
did not even notice tlie big white bear.
"Oh. do be mine?"he said, attempting
to draw her a little nearer his end of the
seat.
She made herself rigid and heaved a sigh.
"I'll be a good mail aad give up all my
bad habits, "he urged.
No reply. ' - I
M'JI never drink another drop," he con
tinued. '
Still unrelenting sat the object of his
adoration. ;
"And give up chewing "
TSo response.- ' !
"And smoking "
Cold as ever.
"And join tlie church" j
She only shook her head.
"And give you a diamond engagement
ring," he added iu desperation.
Then the maiden lifted her drooping eyes
to his, and, leaning her frizzes on his shoul
der, tremblingly murmured into his ravish
ed ear: -
Oh, Ed .rard, you you are so good!"
And there tliey sat and sat, until the soft
arms of night that dusky nurse of the
world had folded them from sight, pon
dering, planning, thinking she ot tlte dia
mond ring, and he bow on earth he was to
get it. j
