Over $100,600 has already been
spent in the New 'Cumberland oil
field in WtJt Virginia, and the re
ports are so encouraging that the
excitement among the producers is
at a fever heat. Tire leases have all
been taken up and territory cannot
be had at a big premium.
It is stated as a positive fact that
itfrs. George Hirsh,of Navarro coun -
ty, Texas, has hnd six children at
one birth. Four are boys and two
are girls. The mother is 27 years of
age and had pre viously lwid th ree
children. The new arrivals are all
alive and .doing well They are all
small, but healthy.
The New York Herald is pushing
its agitation of the proposed exten
sion of the Presidential term. The.
business men of New York seem to
be very much in favor of extending
the term, and the majority consider
six years as about the right length.
Slany favor eight years, and some
few see no reason for a change.
Sir Clare Ford, now British min
ister at Madrid, and who it is sup
posed will succed Lord Sackville,
has had a term of service at Wash
ington. In Sir Frederick Bruce's
time, Sir Clare, then Mr. Ford, was
second secretary of legation. It is
very unlikely, though, that a minis"
ter-will be appointed until Mr.
Cleveland's term expires. Mr. Hen
ry Edwards, the first secretary, is
ailing in London, so the chances are
that Mr. Michael Herbert will re
main charae d'affaires until next
spring.
Reveries of bachelors used to con
tain an allov of painful anticipation,
on account of sleepless nizhts with
the prospective baby, but Dr. Bull's
Conirh Svrup has made all that
part a joy forever.

Advice to old and young: in se

tious not to take more magnifying

you further injury to the eye. Using
glasses of stronger power thanks ne

A Lady Affronted.
A gross affront was offered to a
lady last night, shortly after dark,
on one of the most prqminent up
town thqrqughfares. She was oh
her way home and was about half
way between Sixth and Seventh
streets, on Market, when she met a
oolored man who held open his arms
as she approached and said to her:
"Come to me, darling." The lady
screamed and ran as fast as she
could to her home, not far distant.
She did not recognise the rascal.
Four Hales on Fire. .
There was a slight fire at the" 'SYil
mington Compress about 11 o'clock
on Sunday infcrning. It was a pri
vate fire as it were,, as no general
alarm was given out. Jt was dis
covered by -the watchman among
some cotton o.utside of the building
and a few bucHets of water put it
out. Four bales were damaged and
the loss, which will hardly exceed
$50, is covered by insuran.ee. It Is
supposed that some. one. had been
srnokjRg there, against the rules of
the Company and the city .ordin
ance. It may be proper to add here
that we heard of this fire yesterday
but neglected to speak of it.
