from the well came ii last night
with a message from the driller
to Hon. J. W. jLink and others
interested to be sure and come

Hatton, who was in the city to-
day, stated that he had been to
tbe well and saw the oil coming
up in such quantities that the
driller said he would guarantee
live hundred barrels a da^y at
that depth, 950 feet. The drill

FRANCE AND FRANKLIN.
n. Honor* Paid «o an Allen Cl I Iren
by Her People.
To tbe sight of the world Frankltn
came aa the agent of certain revolted
colonies of England to seek material
aid to sustain the hard pushed rebel-
lion, but to the enlightened eye of his-
tory lie ta an envoy from the new world
to the old, addressing to Its half awak-
ened henrt arid conscience the son*
stirring Invitation to be free. No fittei
choice was ever made by any nation U
any age. There was too heavy a se*
running to have any Incompetence Ok
the quarter deck.
An Interest which we can scarcely
comprehend was taken In that day lu
natural science, Franklin was by uni-
versal consent the greatest natural
philosopher *f his time. He was hulled
as the confidant of nature, the play-
mate of lightning, a Prometheua un-
punished. The brightest constructs
and critical energies of the best mind!
were devoted to tbe solution of politi-
cal problems, and here, they said, was a
man who had founded many states up-
on the principles of abstract Justice
and had consolidated them at last
Into a superb model republic, for this
hasty generalization had seized the for-
eign mind, always too apt to regard
leaders Instead of masses, and It wai
long before the pallllona of American!
got their due abroad.
Thus It came, that the great heart of
liberal France’ wept out at once In a
quick rush of welcomo-to Franklin. Hs
was the point that attracted the over-
charged electricity of that vast and
stormy mass of active thought. He be-
came the talk of the town. They made
aongs about him. They published mors
than 150 engravings of him, so that his
fur cap and spectacles became a* fa-
miliar as the face of tbe king on the
louts d’or. Tbe pit roae when he en-
tered a theater. These are not trivial

“I see you have good pro-

him to Chicago. Before leaving
he cautioned bis driller about
the necessity of absolute secresy.
“Now Mike,"he said, "of course,
if you do strike you must let me
know at once and I will be here
as soon as possible." “How can
I do it?" questioned Mike?
“Well, if you hit it in paying
quantities telegraph me the
following cipher message: Pine
trees grow tall,’ -was the reply.
Thfre days later be received
this telegram trom Mike: “Pine
trees grow tall, an*1 she is spout-
ing t lean over the derrick.”
Needless to say the striking of
oil at the well got abroad in a
hurry.
