ATAsON's PATENT PURIFIED SPERM
lvl .OIL.--Ths Oil, for brillancy, durability,
and purity "a light, and for lubricating purpo-
SEES, whether applied to the delicate works Of a
watch or the most ponderous machinery, surpasses
any oil now known. E lzzas't
1t ia warranted not to gum, being entirely de.
prived Of that substance, which SO seriously i'm.
pedes the rapid movement OF all kinds of machine
ry; and for burning it is cheaper and better
than any oleaginous substance now in use.
While it affords light superior to gas or cam
phene, it ia also free from the dangerous explosive
quality of the latter, being solely sperm oil
purified.
So pure ia this oil that it will not freeze at any
degree of cold known within the limits of the
United States; having thereby in this, in every
other particular, an advantage over the best sperm
oil as now used.
After devoting many years in experimenting
with the various oils, for the purpose of overcom
ing their impurities at present fabricated, the
undersigned assures the public that he has sue
ceeded in producing the 'ne plus ultra" of oils
He offers it superior to any known oil in the
and invokes the scientific of all countries to test
it and pronounce their opinion, satisfied that al
will agree that it ia the finest oil ever offered fol
sale. WILLIAM ID. TOWNSEND, Phlla.

We publish elsewhere certain amendments
to the British and United States postal con-
vention recently agreed upon. Their effect is
simply this: We have heretofore been paying
"a cents single rate postage to St. Thomas and
other places in the Danish West India Islands
where the distance does not exceed two thou
sand five hundred miles, and A cents when
over that distance. The Department has re
Gently ascertained that the British postage from
Kingston to there places has been reduced from
shilling sterling to four pence sterling. Tbs
charges above stated having been based upon
the shilling British rate, our Post Office
Department, under the treaty, claimed fol
our correspondence the advantages of the
reduced rate, which was at once acceded
to by the British office. Thus the single
rate postage on letters (not ne,rspapers)
to St. Thomas and other points in the Danish
West India Islands, by United States packet
to Kingston, is reduced to Is cents when the
distance from the mailing office is under, and
% cents when over, $500 miles; the reduc-
ton being eight pence sterling, or sixteen
cents-rather an important item.

Turkey and Russia-The Whole Ques-
tiOn.
We invite attention to the interesting histo-
rical narrative communicated under the above
head, and which appears on the first page of to-
days paper. A question involving such impor-
tant consequences to Europe, and incidentally to
the United States, deserves attentive c0nsid
GRAFTON. We think, however, that the sole
cause why Russia hesitates to occupy the do
minions of Turkey, results in fear that the
maritime powers of Europe would retaliate by
crippling her expanding commerce upon the
Black sea and Baltic. The Straits of Dover
and of Gibraltar are letters upon the gigantic
possessions Of Russia, and the powers that
guard these passes can render any territorial
acquisitions whose products pass through them
Improbable if not precarious. IfRussia should
make demonstrations upon India, China, or
Eastern Asia, she would embarrass the com
merce and possessions of England and France
even more than by the acquisition Of CONSTANT
nople itself, and would do more to affect the ba-
lance of power than by the dsmemberment or
absorption of Turkey.

PoLITIcs IN KENTUCKy.--The Congressional
canvass goes briskly on in Kentucky. The Hon.
B. E. Grey is opposed by Mr. Davie. The Green
River Wing is asked if Mr.. Grey has refused to
make any further appointments with his competi-
tor; and answers that when the two candidates
commenced the race each manifested the usual
courtesies, but during the canvass Major Grey
exposed the wanton and scurrilous attacks made
upon him by the editor of the Press, with which
MIR. Davie constantly declared he had and would
have nothing to do, as that matter rested solely
between the editor and Major Grey. Suisse
quently, the Wing asserts, Mr.. Davic was dis
covered circulating by the bushel in nice quiet
way copies of the Press, containing the most
abusive dcnunciations against his opponent. We
suppose Mr.. Davic has his rejoinder to make to
this.

APPRENTICES AND THE FUGITIvE SLAVE Law
Mr.. Morton, United States Commissioner at New
York, has just rendered decision in the case of
Van Orden, an apprentice, whose rendition to his
master in New Jersey was claimed under the act
of Congress commonly known ''the Fugitive
Slave Law MIR. Morton holds that the act does
not apply to apprentices. This decision is con-
sidered important, as it has been the practice,
heretofore, to surrender apprentices who had fled
to one State from 'service or labor due in another
State
