Bank candidate for the presidency in favor of the
bill to c-charter the u S. Bank in despite of Gen Jack
sons veto, in 1882 when the said Mr. Dallas was sena-

ALLIGATOR OIL. A letter from ST. Angus

ALLIGATOR OIL. letter from ST. Angus.
tine, dated April 12th says
I" suppose you may not have heard that we
have discovered the utility of alligators An al.
ligator is found to be as valuable in his way as
spermaceti whale. An expedition has left this
place for the river of St. Johns, and the dark
tributary stream of Black Creek swarmlng with
these hideous creatures, with the view of killing
them to obtain their OIL
The oil of the alligator is said to be better for
lamps than even whale oil, and it is extracted
from the animal in considerable quantity and
without any great difficulty. For this discovery
we are indebted to the Indians, who have been
in the habit. for how long time l know not, of
extracting the oil of the alligator and using it for
various purposes. 1t makes fine transparent
fluid and burns admirably
You know how many of these enormous ami
mails are shot out of wantonness from the decks
Of the steamboats, that plough our waters ex-
pect hereafter to hear of laws passed Tor their
protection. Every time an alligator of eighteen
feet long is shot in the long grass of the river
banks, or while he is swimming, barrel or half
barrel of oil, is wasted. This should not be-
We must allow them to be killed only at the pro-
per season, when they are latest and not permit
their destruction at the season when they lay their
eggs.
The alligator is a formidable looking creature,
it is true, but he is generally harmless, His Of
fee is TO prowl IN the sluggish waters OF this
Southern region, pick up what he can, and d.
gest it into excellent oil for the illumination Of
our houses. Alligators will be hereafter esteem
ed as useful animals as pigs-perhaps more SO,
for their keeping costs nothing. The danger is,
that, now that the world has disc rvered what thew
are good for, their race will be exterminated
