- The -1 ethetio Well of glohigarn.
Five Years ago- this summer, when the oil
e eitement In the country was running
high, some of the citizens of Memphis caught
the- fever, andcommenced to bore for oil.
Th? circumstance which gave most encou-
rag men t to the enterprise was unmistaka
bl developements of petroleum in several
spr gs along the banks of Belle river, in
the vicinity of the village, and the Tow of
oil ?pears to be as good no W as then. A
comipany was organized, land leased, m achi-
nei and materials purchased, the job of
sinking a well was let,, aurid the work 'cum-
menced. Heavy seven inch driving pipe'
was, used foi tubing, and this was driven
in the earth by nearly the same process that
piles are driven, 'using a saw -log for a dri-
ver. The pipe was sent uown at the rate of
about one eighth of an—inch ateach drop of
the d'river,, until as depth of sixty feet was
reached when the lower section wits broken
• caused it was believed, by the pipe striking
the boulder or bed rock. The drill ,could
not be forced further, on .Account- of the
crushed. pipe obstructing its past sage, ,con-
sequently the company were forcgcl to give
up the enter prise or Start a 1 o,.y well. At
this juncture the faith and courage of the
company gave .out, and the thing was al-
lowed to rest from that time to the present,
but they got something more than a dry
hole—allowing Whll of pin e cold water,
very pleasant to the taste, with quite a
strongmineral flavor The water rises in
the pipe about six feet above the surface of
the ground, and the flow continues to be
'quite uniform in quantity, excerpt that at
intervals of a feiv seconds the quantity in-
creases, perhaps 25 per vent., and then it
gradually decrease until its minimum is
reached. Gas comes L- ubbllug to the surface
continually in small quantities, and the wa-
ter is so cold that it is painful to hold one's
band in the pipe more than thirty seconds.
The water and pipe are strongly macin0-
tic, and will charge knife Wades so that they
will lick up needles, flails, trunk keys, tic.
very quickly. ' The magnetic influence in
the- pipe is so strong that an eight -penny
nail may be placed vertically upon the. end
of the pipe in the current . of waiter, and
then two note nails upon this, enol upon
end, and they will stsnd there tinsuppL,i ted.
There is no doubt that this spring is as
highly magnetic as any yet found. Its
chemical properties are not yet known as
no analysis of the water has been made,
nor has it been tested as a curative agent.
The spring is on the banks of a brook near
its junction with Belle river, in the out-
skirts of the village, uald'abouc forty feet be-
low the level of the country.—Dstroit Post.
BLESSED BE NOTHING.—D tt r ills the last
twenty yesrs William B. Astor has so man-
aged a fortune of twenty millions as to roll
it into sixty `millions. Suppose he has,
what then ? . V hat has he made by the ope-
ration, except increased worriment to keep
the run of. his increased wealth? Astor,
with his sixty millions, eats no Tnoro oysters,
quail, woodcock, and be! 'ct turkey, than he
did when he was worth ten millions. He
dresses no better, and -has a thousand times
less fun. We beat him on sleeps, and have
no lawsuits with tennants and trespassers.
Robbers lay wait for Astor every time he
goes out after dark They don't think of
us. Astor, with sixty millions of dollars,
has sixty millions -of troubles., To keep the
run of his rents, bonds, and estates, keeps
Astor at work about fourteen hours a day,
and yet Astor only gets three square meals
a day, which is just --what. v;e obtain with-
out any millions, any° tenants,any real estate
and only work eight hours per day. If men's
happiness increased with their earnings up
to a certain point, the point necessary to
secure the ct_inforts of life would be, say
$2,500 a year. ..l1 beyond this is super-
fluous ; it is productive of no good whatever.
The richer the matt the greater the proba-
Lility that his on will live on billiards
and die in the. inebriate asylum.- 'With
contentment and 2,500 a year, a man may
be happy as a prince. Without content-
ment you will be miserable, even if your.
rent; equals the rent -rolls .of Oresu$.
How TO GET FAT—DR. LEWIS' ADVICE TO
A LEAN LADY.—Instead of going co bed di
11 or 14, , if you are really in earnest about
getting a plump, youthful personnel, a -sin-
gle hoar in any company will gratify you
and your friends more than a dozen nights
with this fagged and old look. So to bed
at 8 or 81 o'cloctc, and don't be in a.' hurry
about getting up in the morning. On go-
ing to bed aand on getting up in the morn-
ing, drink tts much cold water as you can
swallow. Soon yon will learn to drink as
mneh as two tumblers; and some persons
may learn to drink still more. Drink all
that your stomach will . bear. Spend a
good deal of time in the open air, : without
liay-d exercise, but ekposecl to the sun and
fresh air. If piactible,. ride in a- carriage
some hours every day. Remain out enough
to give you a good appetite, but don't work
hard enough to produce excessive perspira-
tion. Eat a great deal of oat meal porridge
cracked, wheat, graham mush, baked sweet
apples, 1roastes1 and broiled beef, though the
vegetable part is more fattening than the
animal part. _,Lie down an hour in the mid-
dle of the day, just before you take your
dinner, to rest, and, if possible, take a little
nap. Cultivate jolly people. " Laugh and
grow fat, "rests upon a sound physiological
basis. A pleasant .blow - of the social spirit
is a great promoter of digestion. Keep
your skin clean, sleep in a room where the
sun shines, keepeyeryching sweet, and clean
and fresh about your bed,,sleep nine, if pos-
sible ten flours in the twenty -foul, eat as I
have told you, cultivate the jolly spirit, and
.n -ai c months you will be as plump as even-
your lover could wish you to be.
