MARRIAGEABLE WOMEN IN FRANCE.-A singular
movement is in progress in Lyons-Lyons, the
home, according to Mr.. Bulwer, of Claude Mel
notte and Pauline Deschappelles, and the scene of
their early and lugubrioIs loves. But, in Lyons
mating Melnottes who are disposed to win the
hands and hearts of the - ladies of Lyons " who
desire to be woOed and won. These LyOnesses
complain that the men won't marry them, and they
are forced to lead a life of single unbessedness.
Having exhausted probably all the usual means
which the female sex know so we'll how to apply,
having found that the fascinatiOns of crinOline Of
dresses broad in the skirt and low in the neck, of
smiles and simpers and handsome faces. and saucy
looking caps, and pretty ankles, of avail in
softening the obdurate hearts of the dwellers of
Lyons, these females have commenced an open
warfare against the sex, with view of forcing
them into matrimony and their arms. A petition
has been circulated, and extensively signed by these
ladies, setting FORTH in pitiful terms, the hardness
of their case, and the hearts of the men, and ask
ing the government to impose a special tax upon
all men in France who shall have arrived at the
age of forty years without having entered, Billy
Birch used to say, Into the bands of paddock"
They represent these bachelors as ''unproductive"
members of the community, and, therefore, fit sub
jeets for special taxation.
1t is not unlikely that the Government, which
regulates nearly everything in France, will, ere
long, take some action upon this whole question
of matrimnny. There now in France, it is
said two millions marriageable females who can
not get husbands, and there is generally about
this surplus on hand.

THE ANTIPoDEs 1t is a curious fact that many
of the customs and social habits of the Chinese
are exactly the opposite or In direct contrast to
those of the - outside barbarians.'' The follow
ing is a curious exemplifcation of this fact
The Chinese parents select the wives for their
sons, and decide whom their daughters shall marry.
Their badge of mourning is white, and their funeral
cards are written with blue ink. They vote for
the dead by proxy, and select burying place for
the departed by the aid of one who makes that his
profession We read horizontally; they perpen-
dculary We read from left to right they from

the waist they the feet. We give the place of

of North West they of West-North. We say
the needle Of the compass points North they to
the South We shake the hand of a friend IN sal
utatiOn they shake their own. We locate the
understanding in the brain; they in the belly.
Our officials designate their Office or rank by star
on the breast or epaulets on their shoulders; they
by button on the apex OF their caps. We page
our books at the top they on the margin. We
print on both sides of the leaf they upon one.
We place our Uot-notes at the bottom of the page.
We mark the title Of book on the back OF the

libraries we set our volumes up; they lay theirs

The Oil Excitement in Peua.,l,a.ia.

The oil fever is raging in pOrtionssof Western
Pennsylvania. An exchange published in that
section says that in Crawford county, and especially
IN the vicinity of Oil Greek, the fever is epidemic
Every body is more less affected, and the atten-
tlon of the people is pretty generally directed to
the reservoirs of wealth that have been discovered
or are supposed to exist, in that section, Near
Iltusvile, great subterranean reservoir of oil is
being tapped, and in another place, ten miles dis
tant, oil is being raised from well, with q small
hand pump, at the rate of fifteen gallons per hour.
The indications of oil at the place are said to be
very fine. 1t may be seen raising in many places
from the bed of the river, and by digging the
shore three four feet below the level of the river
the water in the excavations soon becomes covered
with oil. Many of the wells dug for domestic use
contain so much oil as to render the water unfit
for use, and from some of the wells oil flows con-
tinually day and night" Numerous companies
are being formed to bore for the oil. and land sup
posed to cover the reservoirs are in great demand,
SOFT is said. This discovery promises to revolution
lze the oil business of the country. Professor
Silliman has analyzed the article, and pronounced
1t one of the best materials in existence for llumi
mating purposes. 1t is also said by many to be
excellent lubricator. Is has been tried with salts
factory results on buggy axes. When subjected
to high heat it yields parane in large quantities,
and from that material beautiful white candles
manufactured. 1t is, besides, So uneQualed as q
relief in cases of asthma. Physicians pronounce
it valuable in scrofuous diseases. 1t relieves the
nervous sick headache. 1t cures consumption and
minor diseases '' too numerous to MENTION" If
all these things sO great indeed is the discovery,
and tremendous will be the effect upon the oil mar
ket and the physical condition of the world.
Whales will no longer be valuable. except for their
bones. The. manufacture of lard oil will be suspen-
ded the value of lard will consequently decline.
Pork packers, candle makers, &c, will make note
of this. Then it will efectually use up the coal
oil business.
1t is fortunate for the pork trade that the start
ling and important announcements have been made
thus early in the season. If they fail to be warned
and prepare for the revolution that is approaching
they will have nobody to blame but themelves.
The Petroleum or rock oil of Pennsylvania, if we
can believe the reports, will take possession OF the
markets. Ten cents per gallon will cover the ex-
pense of pumping barreling and transportation to
New York, where for present it is being refined,
and the article ready for consumption, will be sold
at very low figure compared with other oils. 1t
will illuminate, lubreate, make candles and cure
most diseases from which humanity suffers. Here
will, therefore, be but little use hereafter for
the whale the hog or the gravedigger. Let the
world rejoice, and let pork packers and doctors
take Misunderstanding Telegraph
