Mr. Ccnway will bo remembered by our readers as the author of 'Called Back" and "Dark Days." A DEC0IU1I0N DAY STORY. On next Sunday, May 31, we shall present our readers with a most charming Decoration Day story, written specially for the Sunday Sentinel, andentitled, "The TwoOld Ladles; or "Who Found Uncle Jack." The writer, Mrs. Abby P. Hawkins, of Brazil, Ind., is widely and popularly known as tho author of numerous interesting short stories and of a novel, "Hannah," published some years ago, illustrative of tho benevolent purposes of Odd Fellowship.

Tns Evansville Courier, in referring to the efforts made In behalf of Colonel Dauby, lays that the Indiana delegation in Congress hare done good work; for him, and If he is not appointed to one of the second-class mhsIon8 still vacant it will De owing to other causes than the neglect of his friends. Secretary Manning thinks the appear ance of the paper money of the country might be improved. He appointed a com xnittee to look into the matter, and the members report that they are net in favor of the farther continuance of the silk fibred paper cow in ose, and the objections to it are given. A special taya that the substance of this report will, no doubt, be adopted by Geo rttarj Manning and embodied In his annual

In a report of the affair we read: A letter from General Hen Banison, dated at ImUanapo?, was read, lu which he re.zrctlcl uu inability to attend. Speaking of General Lojraa beeald: His re-election to the Senate of tho United States wax a most hippy lsne of one of the mostrcmarkablo political contests in our hU lory. His presence in the ßenato will Rrcatly Kttcnstbcu his friends there lu the serious cou fliers which are manifestly lmpendiu2'M What "serious cou filets are manifestly impending?" This means, probably, that the Republican majority ore preparing to in ike war upon the President. It is dlfQcult to see at what point cr for what reasons this Jacobin cabal will begin "the eerious conflicts which ara manifestly impending." The Senator stretches the meaning of tho words ho usai. Thero are no "serious conflicts manifestly impending." There may be a conflict intended by the Jacobins, but certainly there is none "impending." Th3 Senator says they are ianife!ihj impending. He may see them or wi&h for them, but no ono thy do?s. If the Jacobin clique which no?; controls the Becate; forces tho President into conflict by annoying him with refusals to confirm his appcintmente,and thus embarrass the administration, the people will see to it that their seats will bo vacant when the time comes for re-election. THE PETROLEUM TRADE AND SUPPLIES. Since there has been a prospect of war between England and Russia, the petroleum trade has been discussing what effect hostilities would probably have upon the oil market. So far, the rumors of war have effected petroleum lees than any of the great commodities, and yet Russia is the only competitor thd United Statt? 3 has in the petroleum trade. The oil wells of Western Pennsylvania and those of Baku, on ths Caspian Sea practically supply the world with pstrol cum. It is true somo oil h produced in Canada, South America, British Bnrmah, Austria, and even m Germany, but it is not sufficient to supply home consumption. It is impossible to state exactly what the world's consumption of petroleum amounts to. jlae dally demand upon the Pennsylvania wells fcr home and foxelgn markets is now about 70,000 barrels a day, but it is difficult to obtain trustworthy tiguxes regarding foreign oils. As to the production of oil, statistics are a little more satisfactory. The propuction of oil in 1SSI must be put down at 3 1,000,000 barrels cf forty-two gallons each. Of this amount 1:1,300.000 were produced by the United States and 5.000.COO barreli in Ruesia. Of America's production over two-thirds go abroad. With the exception of 1,500,000 pud3 (7,2:0,000 gallons), which wero exported, Russia consumes the entire output of the Baku wells. Americans largest customer Is Germany. Then comes England and Belgaim, China, Farther East Indies, France and Holland. From the foregoing it is plain that a war engaging England, India, Afghan and Itualia can have little or no effect upon the American oil trade. Russia's oil: production is now about equivalent to the home demand. She bujs very little of us. At the same timo her export trado is so small that even if it were to fall to us during hostilities we would not be benefited to any extent. It is well known that in the event of an Afghan war Baku would be the print of shipment for troops en route from the Caucasus to the seat cf operations. The fleet ot oil steamers trading on the Caspian and on the Vol pa would no doubt be used as transports, and many persons think that this, with the possible drain upon the population of Baku for military service, might paralyze, at least for a time, tho Caucasian oil trade. For tho past years the Russian oil business has been making great strides, securing first of all the homo market, and now being on the point of branching out into Garmany and Turkey, and the markets of Asia Minor ana Central Ala. Any check upon this extension would of course be a benefit to tho American oil industry. Many percois when they epeak ot tho good effect war would have npon the oil market are no doubt looking at the matter from this standpoint. It seems to us, however, that war Is more likely to stimulate than to check the development' of the Busaian oil fields, and our reasons for thinking so are these: Russia depends upon England almost entirely for her ceal Enpply Even now before war is declared the shipment of coal fi oca Newcastle to Rcsiii has almost ceace J, and there is, according to reports, a cotd famine at St. lVtmburg. Now, cf the total; product of the Baku wells, only 30 per cent, is illuminating oil, the remainder beicg either lobri CAtlnf oil or refuse, tar, etc., which makes an excellent and very portable fad. It has lo3g been used on the Caspian and Volga steameif, and recently on tho Caucasian and Central Bufslan Ballroad. It is probable that in the event of war there might be a great demand for this "refc-e fuel" for use, first of a 1 on the railroads in lieu of coal and on the steamships, which no doubt will be kept going at a far livelier rate transporting men end munitions of war than they were transporting crude and refined petroleum. The production of crude oil would thus be increased, and with every eoventy birreLi of "refuse fuel" there would be thirty barrels of refined oil which would have to find a

market, some day or another, at the expense cf (he United Slates. However, everything at present looks very promising, unusually promising, for ths home producer. For the first lima in a long stretch of years the production has declined and Is still further declining bslow tho consumption, and, as a natural consequence, the sleeks on hand are being reduced. In the last elx months the ttccts have been drawn upon at the rate of nearly, if not quite, 15,CCO barrels a day. The daily production of the oil region of Pennsylvania and New York is now o3,0C0 barrels, cud the demand about 70,000 barrels. In addition to this the stocks in Europe ere unusually low.

Representatives of the State of Georgia are here trying to place a loan of $3 500.0CO, and to that end are endeavcring to get Bank: Superintendent Hepbum to repeal his order, made eeveral years ago, forbidding Savings Banks from buying State or railroad bonds.

HISS CLEVELAND. She Writes a Letter In ßeplyto Rev. How aid Crosby's Calm View' or the Temperance Question, New Yor.ic, May 27. The San publishes this morning a communication from ML3 Elisabeth Cleveland, sister of President Cleveland, in reply to Rev. Dr. Howard C:oby, cn the question ot total abstinence. Miss Cleveland commences by quoting ths following from Dr. Crcsby: "I do not wonder that excellent wemen whose husbands or eons havo become sots should advocate total abstinence for every one. We have heard a good woman, whose boy had cut his finger nearly off with & knife, wish that there were no knives in the world, and if ehe could have her way, ehe would have them all destroyed forthwith. It is natural, and a woman's cry on such an occasion excites our tendercst sympathy. But who will count that an argument?'' Miss Cleveland then says: ,Tue. above paragraph from A Calm View of Dr. Nelson,' by Rev. Howard Cro3by in the EvangelUt of March 17, has most pertinaciously haunted me ever since the perusal of the article last evening. That this, above any other paragraph; should most impress itself upon the impressionable mind of oao emotional woman in particular, or cf women oe an emotional creature in general, will surprise no man. It is, as the Doctor tnjs, natural; and I nmcartain that multitudes of women besides myself are to day smarting under thete calm words, a:ainst the imputation of which evary fiber of tho womunly nature rises up in revolt. The utile anin:al is very fierce, tho female of all ?Hijra is very, comparatively and in general, ULCOinbativa. But tho rame sclenco which tells us this tells U3 also that the mother, among all beasts in defense of her young, is the fieicsst of all living creatures. The lioness under ordinary circumstances Is quite easy cf conquest; but the lioness, robbed of her whelps, no man or bsast cares to encounter. Then both the phases ot the female nature are undoubt

edly 'Datural.' They belong, as Bishop Butler said of certain so-called su pernatural phenomena to, the natural, of which there are two causes, the one ordina ry, the other not supernatural, still le33 su perhuman, but extraordinary. You see, Mrs. Foster, that this mad dog' you talk about is to be put, by a calm view of ths thing as it is, into the same category with cutlery. You have no more real right to cry about this unloosed beast because it may meet your children ou their way to school, and may bits one or two of them, than you have to cry out against the manufacture aud sale of knives bscause your boy cut himself once. The perfectly clear thing is if you had head enough to see it that th9 manufacture (by fermentation, not distillation,) of the mad dog (not very mad, but tome mad ) ought to go on, and that one mad dog (of the koo! kind) for evory one thousand people ought to be protected by law from the bullets of hydrophobia haterj. This calm view 0& the 'evil' which, because ot some, in tact several, cas-s of hydrophobia among us, has corns to be called by unthinking people a 'mad dog,' Is proved by tho concurrent testimony of experience, science, scholarship, sound philosophy and, above all, rtehtly-rfad Scripture, to be a good creature of God. The calmly Christian thing for you to do on such an occasion Is not to go up and down 'crying,' but to stay at home and teach your little boys and big boys how a little mad dog's bite Is good for thorn, but a big mad dog's bite is very bad for thorn. You ought, if you would only do the thing you ought instead of the thlDg you like, to mix up a little wice and water for your little boys at dinner, so that they may early learn the difference between true temperance and this miserable parody of true temperance called total abstinence, and may be prepared to make mauly protest against drunkenness when they shall be grown up. It is simply silly, it Is. While we feel the tenderest sympathy for your sorrow, we must eay It. It is silly for yon to refosetosee that knives and mad dosare equally dangerous. It is as ridiculous for you to demand that all alcohols shall be banished from the beverages of mankind, because this fiery liquor is burning out the manhood (In more ways than oy its consumption) of the world, aa it would bs for you to demand that all the well 3 ahould bs dried up, because men lose thoir lives by drowning. Alcohol and water are exactly analogous if you could but see it, You foolIh woman, your cry is no argument. It were bett2r you should stop your crying. Dr. Crosby, we can not, try we never 60 hard. We can not defy or deny nature. God has made us a crying genius. We can not understand how knives and mad dogs are ju&t aliso; we can not understand why a mad dog should not be killed. We can not help crying if only one to every one thou sand human being3 is let loose in our streets. These things are too high; we can not Had them out. It is not our blame. It is our nature, and we dare to say that through the pure and unsophisticated nature of the human mother, God's argument against any use of alcohol, except as a medicine, is given to tho world to-day. VThen the young Queen of Auslrla, pressed ou every side by the ruthless oppression of the great Prussian King, lied to Hungary, and with her intant in her arms and her royal crown upon her heed, appealed for the protection of her kingdom to her loyal subjpcts there, there stalwart Hungarian nobles rcsa in a mass, and laying their right hands upon the & words at their tides swore, in a shcut whose heroic ring echoes down the years. 'Moriamur pro rege nostro, Mirla Theresa.' And how they did die all the world tnows. It Is not for rhetorical effect, ttill lets for the excitation of the 'tenderest sympathy,' that I revert to thia well known incident It is that I may call attention to the argument in the cry ot those men, for I inpposo mr.n's 'cry' may be counted as au argument-' I wish to beg you to notice those worc's rego nostro,' That expression of those Hurgarian nobie?, 'our king' Maria Thereea, instead ot onr queen' Maria Theresa, bas been interpreted to represent au idea in their minds to suit the mind of the interpreter. Woman's rights speakers have made them an acknowledgment en the part of those most masculine men that there was a worcan who was more man than any ono of them, cr all together, more able to cominasd them by haying more that was kingly in her. Hence, pro rege nostro rather than pro regina nostro. Chivalrous knight errant cf our day make this expression to indici'e the most refined and splendid chivalry in those Hungarian Doble?, as if they had sa'd to tirs threatened and trembling mother, clasping the future King in her arms, 'Never mind now; you shall be just as much sovereign as If you were a King yourself. We will die to make it so; pro rege nostro.' "Now, I make this expression to mean neither of these things. I believe that these strong and etralghtforward warriors roared

oat these words es the simplest usage to express their most instant and impressive expression for all that men, as patriots, should die for. I bsileva that this crowned mother stood to thsm as the representative of their nationality, their lights, their honor, summing up in her person as did the ruling sovereigns ot those days, their country and thslr country's cause. They tormnlated in their expression 'rege ncstro.'the sentiment which Louis X IV. taught in the words Tetat cest moi.' Thoy pioved this, lor thy did fight and many of them did die, and men do not deliberately die for a beautiful, weeping woman though they lovo to swear to that effect sometimes unless there bo some worthier object to be gained by their self devotion. Bat whether my Idea cf this be fanciful or not; whether it be calm and log'c&l; whether it b good criticism, I dare not aflirm; Dr. Crosby will know. But I dare nllirm that the American mother who to-day, being pretsed on every side by tho asrgrecslons of King Alcohol, confronts American men, tha infant in her arms her only ecepter. the motherhood on her brow her only crown, and cries to them for protection of her kingdom, carries in her cry an argument, and I dare affirm for, thank Gcd, it is a spectacle which all may witness that stalwart warriors, pulling from their scabbards trusty swords, admit that cry to b an argument by their answering shout, 'We will fight for our King.' For we all have a kinc, even dootora. There Is a m&j efiiy of right, a royalty of truth, which in manifold forms claims our allegiance and argues its claim. God eees In the tearful cry of the bruised and bullied mother, sister, wife, His own argument for the utter extinction of intoxicating beverage, the suppression, root and branch, ot the liquor tiaflic. And In that cry she makes His argument to men. A chancellor's philosophy, grasping in its mighty sapience colts and sciences which we poor women can not oven name, has as yet failed to apprehend that chemistry of Heaven which distills from a Christian mother's the first drop of that m'ghty gathering storm whose full end final outbreak shall sweep away forovrr all refuges of lies, which sincere or insiuccre, but mark the liquor traffic. The children of Israel sighed by reason of bondage, and their cry came up unto God, and God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant, and God looked upon the children of Israel and had respect unto them.' "EnzAr.iTH Cleveland."

George Mitchell, a gambler of this place, made a cowardly assault on George W. Eakle, formerly local editor of the Daily Democrat, yesterday morning with a slungshot. Mitchell claimed that Eakle owed him a small sum of money, and told him if it was not paid by last Monday he would whip him on sight. Yesterday evening, as Eakle was standing talking to another gentleman, Mitchell stepped up behind him and dealt him two severe blows with a heavy slungshot, Eakle was stunned, but rallied and caught hold of the weapon. In the scuille Mitchell claims that his ridit arm was put out of place. Eakle backed Mitchell against the curbstone, pushed him down and fell on him. At this juncture Mitchell commenced yelling for help, and the crowd that bad gathered separattd the combatants. Mitchell was taken before Mayor Morgan this afternoon and fined on a charge ol assault and one for carrying concealed weapons. There is csnslderable feeling against Mitchell for his cowardly assault on an unarmed man. Marrow Escape From Being Uarned Alive, Special to the Sentinel. Shelbyville, Ind , May 27.
