LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1877.

THE CRAMM WELL.

1t is doubtful if Mr. Ben Bates wo’d defend strikes, or if he were interested Inthe pros and cons of such questions; but, all the same, he blessed his stars that the strike oceurred on the Grand Right and Left Railway on a certain day; that the employes felt imperative need ot an increase of wages; that the managers didn’t see it; ‘and so, whether or no the end justified the means, it none the less conspired to promote his happiness. It was the afternoon train out of Hamburg, advertised to reach Nova Zembla at 6:45. Mr, Bates, being somewhat of a strangerin the State, drawn to. Nova Zembla by rumors of oil wells and fortunes bubbling out of the earth, was naturally ignorant that the strikers had publicly given warning that they should leave their trains at 4 o’clock », M., until he overheard a gentleman, leaving at a way-station, say to his friend: . ; “You had betier not attempt to go home "to-night, but put up with us; the engineers sérike at 4 o’clock p. M., you know.” ot -

- “Strike!” echoed the typical old lady, with her traditional bandboxes and bundles to look after. .#l’d like to know who they’re going to strike.— Two can play at that game, I reckon. What are they going to strike for?” - “For higher wages, marm. If you calculated to go beyond Little Basset, you'll have to walk the balance,? volunteered a'passenger. Bl : = “Me walk! Haven’t I paid my ilare through? Walk, indeed! I’ll have the law of ‘em first.” “But this train won’t go through tonight.”’ e : v “None of your quizzing, young saucebox! Haven’t I been over this ’ere road every year since my hair took to falling off, to buy a new wig, dating from the time Eben put the Gabrielle front to the old house? And I’'ve'never knowed them not to get to Nova Zembla when they’d oughter gei—i= , e But just then the train stopped, and so did the old lady. It.was 4 o’cldck exactly. o | “I suppose there’s an inn at hand ?” asked Mr. Bates of a native bystander, whom he found loafing upon the plat‘form. : e R

“Devil a bit!: Little Bassett’s run to .oil, stranger.” :

“We're not expected to put up in an oil-well ?” e

*You might fare worse. There's the Traveler’s Ilaven, but the landlord’ he had it carted off for to bore for oil in the old cellar; it’s on wheels yet, a piece up the lane there, Maybe they’ll take you in; I dunno.” Mr. Bates strolled up the pretty lane and into the Traveler’s Haven—which had, perhaps, caught the spirit of gadding from its guests-—and interrupted a slovenly woman the act of scolding. >

“Didn’t I tellé'you. niiss, I'd cut the ears off your head if you cracked anotherdish? Eh? How are you going to pay for it? Who do you suppose’d put up with your goings on if I.was §0 turn you adrift? Nobody in Little Bassett ’d give you house-room for a week.” e

“I am so sorry I broke it,” wzxs the soft_ answer. “I'll be more careful again.” - e “And high time, too—you that I snatched out of the almshouse, so to speak; and did for you ever since you was 4. What would you have been but for me? And apretty return you make, a-breaking all the crockery hel-ter-skelter! = O—h! Good-day, sir. Lodgings ?” with a deeided change of tone. “Rosy dear, slat yourself, and get-the gentleman a room ready; and you might wring the neck of the crop-ple-crown hen while you're about It. I dare say he’s -hungry.” '“Yes,” said Rosy, lifting a pair of appealing eyes to the stranger's. “No, no,” cried Ben, heroically.“don’t kill anything for me. Tea and toast is a supper for.a King.” It pained 'him to add another straw to the burdens this dejected girl' was already carrying—this girl in the garments and position of a menial, yet who bore herself like one of gentle.blood. _ “You see,” apologized Mr, Cramm, the landlord, when he came in, “we ain’t had time to settle, owing to the ile-well. Tavern-keeping don’t pay in Little Bassett, but ile does. Maybe you was thinking something of buying, eh?” ; ;

- Ben was thinking of it, he explained, but Little Bassett had not been his destination. ; :

“Maybe you was guided here by Providence.” o }

“Perhaps so 0,” said Ben.” - _“Pity you hadn’t been round a week ago, afore Deacon Davis parted with his place. Tle got down-hearted, and sold out for a good figger; but-it turned out the article handsomely afterward, and the deacon’s that mad he could jump into a bramble-bush. But sometimes, you see,- it’s all a poor fellow can do to sell out when he ain’t got capital to work it. ‘The destruetion of the poor is their property,” so the Scripture tells.” : ‘

- “Yes!” said Ben; his eyes following Rosy on her way trom the milkingshed with two foaming pails. Ben could hardly have told why he staid on in Little Bassett from day to day, whether the neighborhood of such oil as must have burned in Aladdin’s wonderful lamp or thé subtle persuasions of landlord Cramm kept him spell-bound in the rustie village, with its pretty river trickling to the sea, and its background of spicy woods, where the tinkle of cow-bells seemed like music blown from fairy-land. At teast he did net put the question to himself. He had been making a tour of the different oil wells one afternoon, and, coming fiome through the Little Bassett woods, he fell in with Rosy. ” “After flowers?” asked Ben. “Isu’t it growing dark? Hadn’t you better turn back with me?” - “I must find Jetty first,” returned Rosy. ; : ' “And, pray, who may Jetty be?” asked Ben. . e “Jettyis the cow; she strays away and gets lost in the woods. Last year I couldn’t find her titl after nine one nighto” 3 g P g o “And you were here alone at that hour 2”7 i et o “It was bright moonlight.” = “And supposing there had been no WMOORE" o i s “I must liave stajd till I found her, moon or no moon, Hark! did 1 hear horbellys .o G ‘ 4'.‘Berhu;§m may find her sooner together. May I gowithyou?” Yasflwﬁgm e xeumax‘*%?e’ strolled on, the young in ﬂ“*;("‘l ¢ itiiine &Bl n éﬂﬁ@w 1 %""’E;m fPoin thi tanols. e the falnt melody ol b ball stiosed (ks dica:

and quickened their steps. It wasafter eight when they drove old Jetty home, and Ben had been surprised more than once by the speech that fell from Rosy’s pretty lips.. She knew the old poets, who young ladies of the period disdain to cultivate. She was at home with Scott, and familiar with the tenets of the elder theologians. “You told me that you had never been to school,” said Ben, “but somebody has taught you. There is no royal road torknowledge.” “Yes; Parson Psalter’s wife taught ‘me to read and write, and she gave me little presents for learning verses by heart. She used to borréew me ot Mrs. Cramm to read to her when her dear old eyes failed. Yes, and when _sth‘e died she left me all her books.” Ben was more than ever interested in the subject of oil as the days went by. He listened to the enthusiastic raptures of Little Bassett, and was persuaded that this was the tide which leads on to fortune. So he staid on and on, learning the minutiz of this method of coining money, helping Rosy carry her brimming pails to thie ‘dairy, or ‘-bring the butter—for Mrs. Cramm was not one to allow milk to sour on her bands, whatever the prospeet which the oil well afforded. Ben had inherited a certain sum of money from a distant cousin, who, with his child, had disappeared from the sight of men years ago; now he informed Mr. Cramm he wished to invest it in oil. -

“I’ll tell you what I'll do by ye,” said that disinterested soul. I’ve took a mighty -liking to you, and so' has Miss Cramm; there’s my well. I'm a thundering poor man, Mr. Bates, and I’'m working it at a disadvantage. I'm awfully in debt, to tell the truth. I’'m mortgaged up to my chin, and I don’t hev no peace for. fear of a keeper in the house, and a-being brought to disgrace afore my neighbors—-and these women folks to look after. Now, mark my word, somebody has got to make a fortune out of that ’ere well, and I'd rather it ’d be you, Mr. Bates, than anybody, asit won’t be J. Cramm ; if you’ve got the means you couldn’t do better than to take this ’ere elephant off my hands.” o “Thanks,” said Ben. “{’ll'think about it.” Whereupon the mérits of the Cramm well ‘were so adroitly celebrated that Ben began not only to think, but to talk about it. . . One evening, a week later,when Ben went to his room, a folded slip of paper under his candlestick attracted his attention., Thinking it might be a delicate fashion of landlord Cramm to present his bills in this way, he opened and read, ' < ‘Mzr. BATEs—Do not buythe Cramm well. You will be sorry if you do. - A KiND FRIEND. Mr. Bates smiled broadly. He wo'd show it to! Mr. Cramm at breakfast, and have a laugh over the device of some rival striker; but morning bro’t wiser counsel. Was it not a woman’s hand? Perhaps Rosy’s; and, if so, might it not deserve attention ? When he went forth to smoke, after breakfast, he encountered Miss Rosy in the garden patch, gathering peas for dinner. : B Ly

“Ah, here is my ‘kind friend,’” he hazarded, holding out his haud. Rosy started and blushed. “How came you to send me that warning, Rosy?” he pursued. *“What do you know about the Cramm well ?” :

“I?” she asked, with ill-feigned surprise. “What made you think I sent it ?” :

“Did you not ?” : Rosy hung her head, and tears filled her eyes. : v “Was it very wicked in me?” she asked. . “I could not bear you should be beggared by them. You are the only one who has ever been kind to me since dear Mrs. Psalter died. What could I do? At least you don’t waste your money for naught.” : “But what evil do you know of the Cramm well? 'Why should Inot purchuse ?” ; . “Oh, you see, Mr. Bates, when they found it a mistake, a false strike, why —they—they doctored it? They bro’t oil on the sly, and brought the pump with it, dont you see? I heard them talking of it between themselves after I was in bed at night; it was Mrs. Cramm’s idea; the walls are thin, and I couldn’t sleep, I was so tired. If you buy it, they mean to pack off before you can find out that the well’s a humbug. And I thought, maybe, you had nothing but the money you would put into it,and I couldn’t'stand and see you swindled like that, and not say a word.” ! : Wl

“I thank you; but, my dear girl, your warning comes to me too late. I have already purchased the Cramm well.” S i ; g

“But you will make them take the well back? You will go to law about it 2”

“I think not.” Mr. Bates was in a quandary.- If he took the law in his hands, Rosy would be called upon for her testimony, and would not the fact that she had preferred the interest of a stranger to that of her adopted parents tell against this simple child, even though she had acted rightly in the matter? Furthermore, would it not cast her adrift upon the world, and was he prepared to offer her a local habitation and a name?

“I hope you’ll get rich as mud,” said Mistress Cramm, on the following day, “and remember them asset you on the road to fortune, Mr. Bates. Jim and me thinks of trying Californy for my asthmy.” ik , o “Will your daughter go with you?” asked Ben. s Wi ot

“Rosy? She ain’t no daughter of mine, though, land knows, I've been a mother to her. You see, its nigh ffteen years ago since a gentleman put up to the Traveler’s Have with a Jittle gal about four. He had no baggageto mention, had lest his trunk on the road, but guessed it would turn up. He was a proper, nice-loogii(ng man, with eye-glasses like yours, Mr. Bates ; and it appears he got up early and went out, and whether he went into. ~the river for a path, or a-purpoese, nobody knew; but there he was drowned, and the little gal that couldn’t tell nothing but that her name was Rosy, -left on our hands without a change to' her back. Nobody could find out who they was; thers wasn’t no clew amongst their things, and no marks on their ¢lothes; and so we've had to da for her ever since, and there’s no end to whatsheowes us” . =~ “Fifteen years ago; agentleman and ‘child named Rosy,” mused Ber in as- | Yo, ﬁ;t;edn.years, ago this blessed month, Jini he pawned the geritle~man's watch to buy Rosy clothes; but ‘there was an odd sort of seal on the %aix?z? ‘Maybe you would like to look ~ “I should like to borrow it for a }5%&%% o - “You may have it for a trifle, it

you've took a fancy to it. We’véspent s‘“.‘, Rosy to buy a dozen such - ']l givé you your price,” said Ben; and just then Jim Cramm was brought in with a broken leg —and they didn’t | £0 to California for Mrs. Cramm’s asthma. - : It is a year since these events occurred. Retribution has overtaken Mr. and Mrs, Cramm. “*T want to tell you a story,” Ben said to Rosy, the other day. “I once had a distant cousin who disappeared mysteriously with his little daughter after having started upon a journey, He was advertised for by his distants flatives, and sought for in vain. The child was four years old at the time. ifer name was Rosy. She had blue ma auburn hair like yours. By supposed death of these two I came into possession of a certain sam of money, which, having accumulated during my minority, enabled me to ‘buy the Cramm well, as you know.— Contrary to our expectations, yours and mine, Rosy, the well has netted ~is owner a fortune, since it was not’a | strike,sas Mr. Cramm supposed. | But I find I am not the owner.” |

~ “You not thé owner!” cried Rosy. “Then who is?” ;

“You, Rosy; you are the owner of the Cramm well,” ‘ . ; “I? What do you mean ? I thé owner of the well 27 .

“You have heard the story of your introduction at the Traveler’s Haven, and - your father’s tragic end? The seal upon his chain was of curious workmanship. Mys. Cramm had preserved it, and when she allowed nife to take it'l carried it to my father, and the missing link was supplied. It proved the' fac-simile of ohe he had given my cousin, even to the monogram J, B.—John Bates. Is it not plain that your father and my cousin are one, and that the Cramm well belongs to you, his daughter and only child, Rosy ?” ; :“I suppose it must be true, if you say 80,” said Rosy. “But you must let medivide with you; you must keep the well” . : ‘

“On one condition, Rosy. That you give yourself with it.” . And Rosy did not quarrel with the condition.—Harper’'s Bazar.

Thurlow Weed and the Silver Dollar. The letter of the venerable Thurlow Weed upon the remonetization of silver, shows a deep study of the question that: to-day towers above everything else in our politics. Mr. Weed has been a veteran observer of public matter for more than fifty years, and his opinions upen national finance have been more correct.than those of any other man now living. He hasg ovidently become disgusted with the manufactured zeal of the gold advocates, who were guilty of the surreptitious manipulation by which silver was depreciated. He properly comments upon the fact that scarcely any of our people knew that such iniquitous legislation had been consummated. : : A

‘Mr. Weed has ranged himself upon the lf]quitable platform that the Government should have a care for the fnterests of the people as closely as for the bondhelders. We have heard ad nauseam of the care that must be taken to preserve intact the contract with those who hold our obligations. At the same time it is notorious that these same parties, who bought ‘our six per cent. bonds at prices ranging from forty to seventy cents on the dollar, have been vigorous and unceasing in their efforts to add to the burdens of labor by ereating a.single gold standard of valde, and thereby increasing the burden of the public debt. : The people are placed entirely out of consideration.in this plan, which takes such generous ecare of those who do not and need not labor with their hands. Mr. Weed is right. The people propose to pay the national debt,.principal and interest, as contracted. They do nat want any eoncessions en the part of holders of the bonds, but they do not; in addition, want to add a supplement to the burdens they now carry, Silver was legal tender when the bonds were issued. It was coin of established value, and in it the bonds can be and, if necessary, will be paid.—Chicago Post. . 4 i

Extract from President Hayes’ Speech . A at Knoxyille, Tenn, Lo

~Such an assembly, meeting as youdo ‘with the utmost good feeling and friendship to each other, is proof that ‘the general gourse of the administration, or, if not general intent, the general purpose of the administration in regard to the pacification of the whole country is here heartily approved.— And;my friends,why should we not approve a policy which seeks the speedy restoration of national harmony? If we regard business, if we regard commercial interests, and all other important interests, are they -not best promoted by friendship, by peace, on behalf of the national government and State. governments; peace between different sections of the country, peace Dbetween different classes, in the promotion of enterprise, of development, of progress and happiness, in every departmeént of life? My friends, I bave been speaking during the last two weeks so frequently upon this general discussion, without special preparation, that I cannot but repeat the same in substance from place to place, and I find the feelings and personal opinions of. the people everywhere so similar upon this subject that there is no occasion for a change of topics, even. if it were possible to do so. 'When a committee comes to me of workingmen I am glad toreceive them. If a<committee of colored men, I have the same feelings for them; of Democrats, I give the same attention to them, and with Republicans it is the same, for we believe that the government of the United States ought to regard alike the rights and interests of all sections of the country, and that State government as well as the national government should regard alike, equally the rights and interests of all races of men. | Now, again, upon this there is no longer any cause of separation. Washington announced that the constitution made us one people. Mr. Webster, coming after, said “We have one constitution, we have one Union, we have one destiny.” Letus, my friends, bear 1n mind these great ideas. We may separate from each other as to currency,as to tariff,as tointernal improvements; but, my friends, we must all agree with Jackson that the Union must and shall be preserved. We can look into the faces of this au--dience and see, no doubt, the faces of soldiers of the Federal and of the Confederate armies. Now we understand ‘each other; we have .been introduced to each other; weare acquainted. We have met before, and as I demand respect from the man I found fighting against me, for my convictions, I yield the same measure of respect to him who fought for his convictions. I want the people of all sections to be introduced to'each other, not exactly as the soldiers have been, but to be friends as soldiers here are friends; and one of the great objects of this tour is to encourage intercourse between the different sections of the country. We want you in New England, and Ohio, and New York. I want men of Tennessee to be as much at home on the soil of Vermont as in any State of the South. I want the people of Ohio to feel as much at home in the South as in any State north of the Ohio river, to be united in duty and united as citirens of different sections. Then shall we be a happier people, to the end of our career. | i

' Eob Ingersoll’s Bet. To the Editor of the Indignapolis Journal. | I almost like Bob Ingersoll. - He says such pretty things in such pretty ways in his political speeches as to capitivate one who does not reason—and who does reason when political excitemeunt i 3 at full tide? But I sat down to express my admiration of the Hon. Bob’s last, in the Journal of the 95th inst. Ie offers to wager $l,OOO with the “Christian world that Paine and Voltaire did not recant their convictions on their death-beds.” This segms so fair, and has such a business air about it, that I and all the rest of the “Christian world” cannot fail to be charmed by the proposition. As Voltaire will ﬁave been dead 100 years next May, and Thomas Paine sixtyeight years ago last June, it is about time that t}fe important question involved in the $l,OOO wager be settled. In another hundred years Bob Ingersoll will be gone to join Thomas Paine and Voltaire; then there may not be a man left to bet a cent or cardg nickel what any of them said durinvg their Hvea e But as the “Christian world” may have someé| scruples about staking a $l,OOO, even on such an important question, I have a proposition to make, by which it can be determined "quite satisfactorily and as morally, without such an outlay of gold at a time when John Sherman needs all the loose change for resumption. My plan is this: Tet it be settled once and forever by a game of poker. Bob and Bishop Simpson could retire to the privacy of John Morrissey’s gambling saloon, in New York, and there, over a glass of lager, it might be determin‘ed in favor of him who déveloped the best poker talent. My plan need not be objected to on the ground that it is possible that neither of the partiesiis familiar with the game of poker Such ignorance. is inexcusable in a& country where another Bob lives who published the best work now extant on the noble game. = 8.

- The Season of Intermittents. All miasmatic eomplaints, in other words, all disorders generated by unwholesome exhalations from theearth or water, are prevalent at this season. 1n every section subject to the visitation of fever and ague, or other forms of intermittent disease, the causes which produce these maladies arenow actively at work. This, therefore,is a period of the year when the inhabitants of such districts should prepare their systems to meet the unwholesome condition of the atmosphere by a course of tonic and alterative treatment. Foremost among the invigor-. ants, recommended by time and expe rience as a means of fortifying the system against all endemic {and epi demic maladies, stands Ilostetter’s Stomach Bitters, By a timely use of the Bitters, the feeblest resident of an unhealthy soil may escape the sickness which, without the aid of this potent ally of nature, will be apt to overtake the strongest. = - 2dwd, Gov.

~ Rednce the Rate of Interest. - Ooliembia ity Post - o b e The Post in its earnest efforts to help: build up the material interests of all the people, rich and poor, gave expression some weeksago to.the rdpidly growing sentiment which. Q@ands. that the rate of inteérest shall.“be low~ ered. In demanding that'the money lenders shall conform to the changed order of things since the panic of 1873, the Post was well aware that it would possibly tramp iipon the toes of some who are reaping a rich harvest from the necessities of the very largedebtor class, who, in order to meet existing obligations, are compelled to borrow. The Post seeks no war upon capital or dictates how it should.be:employed, but, rdather, would make it contented and happy, fruitful in building up the wasted energies of the people, restoring confidenceand holding up thearms of those who need its protecting care. Within its legitimate sphere it is useful, without it becomes a tyrant whose rapacity and greed cannot be satisfied The “Fiend Interest” can no more be satisfied than can the car of Juggernaut with the idolatrous viggma ‘who hurl themselves beneath fts’ wheeéls. During the war and up to the year 1873, when the bubble of fictitious: prosperity bursted, everything was high, including, of eourse, borrowed capital. = Business realized large profits, consequently borrowers could well afford to pay high diseount rates for monéy. Since the panic everything has been on the decline. :Investments made in real estate, manufactories, and railroads have shrunk frightfully. Labor has been forced to -accept a ‘large reduction in the price paid for its service. Business men have been foreed to accept small profits, 1n order to do business at all. A

- This universal tide of shrinkage has affected everybody and every branch of trade, except the rate of interest on money used in the ordinary channels of trade. = Even the bondholder; a favored class, has been forced to surrender his seven-thirties, and six’s, for five’s and latterly . for four per cents. The great Savings Banks and Life Insurance Companies of the East set the example a few months ago of reducing the rate at which they loaned their money to six per cent.” The tide is setting in all around against the further adherence to a policy whiehis doing more to make hard times -than all other present causes combined.— Capital is only profitable when it.can be invested safely -and commanded readily. . The borrower must be able to make his interest, and a fair profit for the risks he incurs in-using logned funds. , This he cannot do at ten per cent. these times, It is the part of wisdom for ‘capital fo yield to the inexorable law of the time, and seek not an advantage through the misery and suffering of the people., -

A Sure Cure for Hog Cholera. - To the Editor of the Tndianapolis Journal, I notice inalmost every issue of the Journal somiething is said about the hog cholera, the great loss our farmers sustain thereof, etc. ‘I will say to the farmers of the: Western States, Indiana in particular, if you will give your hogs plenty of fresh water; and every few days scatter over or near the feeding-place of your hogs Cayuga, New York, land-plaster, your ' sick hogs will get well and your well hogs remain in .that condition. Cayuga land-plaster is not only: a powerful fertilizer but it is also a- deodorizer. second to none, besides possessing medical properties, and if your hogs can have access to it you will never have a case of cholera on your farm, : A barrel containing 800 pounds of this plaster can be bought in Indianapolis for $2.25, and one barrel of it will cure more hog cholera than a hundred dollars’ worth of the various receipts that are offered farmers every day. In Western New York, where this plaster is used largely asa fertilizer upon every farm, ‘such‘aﬂfg_tig as a'sick hog is never known. <&, = 84 EAST MICHIGAN STREET. = =~ - T R e R
