PETROLEUM AS FuEL.-The late exper-
imeuts to test the value Of crude petro.
leum as a marine steam fuel in the
Atlantic States, are reported to have
proved a grand success. By the process
patented BY Col. Foo.e, of Tennessee,
the trials made at Charleston, Mass.
are said TO have exceeded the most san,
guIne expectations Of all parties con-
cerned and it is conceded by the mos,
competent authorities who witnessed
them, that the use of coal for steam
fuel on long sea voyages, will soon be
superseded by petroleum. The follow
ing statement, taken from the New York
Ersning Post, shows the value of the new
fuel:
"Ths United States gunboat Palos
equipped with petroleum apparatus, left
the Charleston navy yard in the morn
ing, made u trip Of twenty-five nautical
miles in one hour and 6fty-ivs minutes,
and used less than four barrels Of petro.
leuu 10 accomplish the work, for which
six or eight tons of coal would have
been required. Her speed was increased
one half over her usual rate"
The guuboat Palos, according to re.
port, is a fourth class vessel, and with
coal fuel steamed about eight knots so
hour, as her maximum speed. With
the use OF petroleum she is reported to
have made an average Of thirteen knots,
which will make her equal in speed to
a first class vessel, as a continuous run
for .wenty-fous hours would be 3l2
nautical miles. Locomotives and cook
ing ranges will, undoubtedly, soon
adopt the new combustible. All sorts
of political and material revolution,
nowadays.

IN view Of the tendency towards COM
bInation by individuals, to cheaper the
necessaries of life or make them more
expensive, it may be interesting to note
the working Of two large associations
in London, designed to enable members
to procure groceries aud other articles
in daily use, at a discount from the re-
tail prices. The "CIvil Service Associa-
ton has its store at the West-end and
rival company called The Civil Ser
vice supply" has its headquarters in
the city. There are also affiliated shops,
where the societies members are enti-
tied to specified rates of discount on all
purchases made. The London Spectator
in the course of an article on these or
CARNATIONS, thinks that the shops will
require looking after, and that in time
difficulties will arise for want of con-
troll over the affiliated tradesmen. The
Pail Mall Gezette, however points out
what is really more likely t, prove a
stumbling block in the way of these
institutions. 1t says
although the societies can control
the tradeSmen, the customers cannot
control the societies. Owing to bad
management and the want of a proper
staff of clerks, packers, &C., customers
have to wait enormous periods between
the despatch of orders and the delivery
OF goods. In the case of the West end
association orders are rUl civ attended
to Immediately on their receipt, AS a
general rule lady ordering things, sa1;
on Monday, will not receive them be-
fore Wednesday Or Thursday. Some
times, however, far worse delays occur:
recently the periods in question have
grown longer, and week or ten DAYS
may now pass without applicants re-
customers to complain; the only answer
they receive is, that every one else who
deals with the store has to suffer like
annoyance. The customer only pays
half-a-crOwn for the privileges Of MEM
bershiP. If he does not like the man
agement, he can go back to his old
ways of housekeeping. The socity, as
distinguished from the customers, con-
sists Of shareholders and directors who
look for dividends, and, after the man
ner OF other companies. are interested
in Keeping the staff below the limits
necessary for the proper service OF GUS
toners. Il is pretended that all this
will be changed in time, but no one
can say that future alterations will be
for the better. At present such DELAYS
as occur are very grave set of to the
economical advantages offered bv the
associated system.

The Convention of the Republicans
OF Maryland which met at Baltimore
on Tuesday, marks a new era in the
politics OF that State. The colored pop
ulation of the State was fully repre-
scented, and the proceedings were har-
monious and dignitied. The object of
the convention was to do whatever
could be done to help on the cause Of
impartial suffrage. Ex-senator Cres-
well was the permanent president of the
convention, and Hon. John L. Thomas,
lately Representative in Congress, was
an active participant. The speeches by
white and colored members were mark
ed with general temperance of express
sion, but with earnestness. The reso-
buttons which were adopted were in
substance as follows:
The first demands a recognition bv
law, all over the country, ofthe equal
ity of all American citizens in all civil
and political rights. The second calls
upon Congress to carry out the princfsi
pies ofthe Declaration or Ind edendence
and the Constitution by the passage of
the Sumner-Wilsou bill at the earliest
practicable moment. The third denies
the constitutionality and legality of the
convention now in session at Annapo-
lis to amend the constitution, and de-
clares that any constitution it NAV form
without impartial suffrage ought to be
deteated by the people and not recou-
n n by Congress. The fourth asserts
~ !. 20 Do the duty of the republicans to
