The Omaha Herald states that the section OF
country between Wyoming and | tab Terrific
ries, known as "Bitter Greek Region, aud
heretofore supposed to be vsuelesS, has been
discovered to be the repository Of untold petro,
l.um wealth. A considerable quantity OF oil
has been taken from the surface OF the water
flowing from the springs OF the creek. we
have in our office sample OF the crude petro-
leum, and it is proposed to embark extensively
in the sinking of wells and the working and
shipping OF petroleum The OIL regions OF
Pennsylvania and Canada now being nearly ex-
hausted, this cannot tail to be source of great
profit, and add UNNECESSARILY to the produc'
iiyeness OF that section, and the wealth OF
Chicago through which 1t must be shipped

quartz and fertile agricultural valleys.

The use Of intoxicating drinks In the United
States has recently been the subject Of an cx-
tended investigation BY physician or st. Louls
No., who has published the result Of his inqui-
ries. From these statistics II appears that out
Of every 800 men in the United States, 122
never drink spirits, and 178 drink TO various
degrees Of intoxication. or 700 women, GOO
never taste alcohol In any formj 30 taste wine
occasionally; IL taste ardent spirits periodically
and are habitual inebriatcs. These figures
show that about four-seyenths Of the men and
one-seyenth Of the women " this country
about ope-thiri Of the adult populations drink
ardent spirits to greater or less degree.
= Estimating the total population Of the country
at forty millions, and making proper deductions
for mere children, II Is clear that at least ten
millions Of persons in this country gurzle annu-
ally at the lowest computation alcoholic liquors
costing them thousand millions Of dollars, for
that is the lowest estimate Of the retail price Of
the liquors sold annually In this country,) an
average Of hundred dollars per year to each
adult "drinker." OF course many drinking
men waste less money on their cups, although
one would have to take on an average only about
three drinks per day to make up that expendi-
turc. The probability is that many laborcrs
who indulge frequently in ale or whisky, would
find that they expend much more than one hum
dred dollars per year for alcoholic liquos-an
amount which, II saved, would soon make them
independent. Many men who are wondering
why they can never lay up anything for rainy
day, will find on examination that the trouble
arises from the worse than waste Of Ave or ten
cents, or more, every day for ale or other alco-
holc liquors. To say nothing Of the moral ruin
involved in the habit Of drinking, the personal
financial bearing Of the practice ought to warn
the young against touching the soup" at all,
and those who have acquired the habit, to stop
before il is too late. $50 -..,. "a .....

a Good Word for Maine.

The Editor of the Newburyport Herald thus
writes about our State: "Maine Is the largest
and the best Of the New England States, equal
to all the others, estimate as we will, apart from
population and accumulated wealth. The best
soil in New England is in Maine. Unless Yer
mont will equal il, the ArOOstOOk has more good
soil for cultivation than any New England State.
1t is true that much Of Maine is rough, but al
most any section win produce more grass, more
grain and more potatoes to the acre than the av-
erage Of this section. Then Maine has more sea
coast than all the rest, and it is indented with
bays and harbOrs fitting II for commerce the
interior is brought near by its numerous long
and uavigable rivers, and by railway il is in
communication with a broader interior country.
For manufactures Maine has more water power
than all the rest Of the States, enough to run all
the machinery Of the country to-day. She holds
in her bosom natural wealth that viii some day
attract population Of ten millions Of people"

The Connecticut Eiee,ion.

Last Monday the Republicans almost made a
clean sweep in Connecticut, electing Jewell,
Governor. and ginning two members Of Con-
gress. The defeat Of the renegade ex-senator
Dixon is peculiarly gratifying. The congress
sional delegation now stands three Republicans
and one Democrat-a reverse Of the former.
Jewels majority is 800. The Republicans
have on joint ballot in the Legislature q ma
jOrity.
II may be interesting to read the "wale" Of
the Argus; 1.-THE Democrat rooster Is sick):
The Connecticut election passed OF quietly,
and the vote was light The Republicans car
ried the State for Grant last fall by three thous-
and majority. They carry il this spring by
some three hundrvi and elect their candidate
for Governor, good naturod, ambitious man
named lowell, who is understood to have paid
very high for the hOnors. The Democrats elect
two Congressmen (Babeoek and Barnum) and
through apathy lose one-Dixon. Taking into
consideration the majority against them a. the
last election; the rottOn-borough system OF the
State; and the general lack OF interest outside
those not holding or expecting Office under
Grnnt, the democracy haNe ho'hinE ",'NVua
giug in the result in Connecticut. Their gain
in the popular vote since last fall Is quite sur
prising and highly satisfactory. r..
OF course the Argus had lowell, had to
f,lsify the returns by saying they had lost only
one meuber Of Congress, and had to assign
apathy as the cause. But why Is there
"apathy," and what had the "rOtton-bOrough
SYSTEM" to do with reversing your majority of
27OO last year, to 500 worse than nothing, this
yearr The .4rgus has squeezed that COnnecti-
cut orange about as much as ii will bear. There
don't seem to be much LEFT in New England for
the gel-lOriOus democracy except few little
municipal elections like BidiefOrd, to crafty
their aspirations after power.
