They have curious way of raising
oil down in the oil regions from wells
thatare not sufficiently productive to pay
for the cost of pumping them. There
are many wells that yield only two or
three barrels per week, and the labor
aud fuel expended in drawing this small
quantity Of oil would leave hardly any
margin for profit Somebody hit upon
the idea Of sinking large cotton.wick
to the bottom Of such wells, aud at once
set about trying the experiment, which
resulted successfully, aud has now been
adopted in u great many cases. As the
oil gradually accumulatcs at the bottom,
1t will rise in the wick by capillary at.
traction, aud may readily be removed
by presses or other contrivances when
it reaches the top above ground. While
on this subject, it may not be uninter.
esting to know that the petroleum 10.
dustry in Germany is on the increase.
The German papers mention that the
borlngs in tho neighborhood of IIelde
(Hanoyer) have resulted in the finding
Of petroleum, at depth of four hundred
feet. Sheds aud stills have been erect.
ed, with expensive machinery; a com
pany is being formed, with sufficient
capital TO make the experiment on n
large scale.

THE SlAMEsE TwINs.-It is report.
cd that one of the Sianese twins is
lying at the point of death while the
other is enjoying his usual good health
Several years ago the Siamese twins
visited Europe aud consulted the most
prominent surgeons of Scotland, Eng.
land and France, in order to obtain an
opinion as to the practicability ofcuttiug
the ligameut. The most skillful sur.
geons ofthe United States had previous
ly decided that the risk would be too
great to justify them in performing the
operation, and the foreign surgeons
arrived at the same conclusion. 1t was,
however, decided, that in case of the
death Of one Of the twins, the operation
would have to be performed, but pro.
badly with less risk to the survivor.
The statement that one Of the twins is
dangerously i'll, aud that the other is in
good health, is opposed to the general
impression that the Siamesc twins, hav.
ing the same emotions, feelings aud
seusibility, are also affected with the
same bodily maladies.

THE CROPS.

People always look with interest for
news about the crops. Farmers are gener-
ally disposed to look on the dark side OF
the picture, and if their predictions were
to all come true, I'VE would have famine at
least biennially. Personal observation, to-
gether with pretty general reports from the
agricultural regions, brings us to the con-
clusion that we will have at least an aver
age crop. J79m . p e'
In some 81. the Northwestern States, es-
pecially Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, the
wheat crop is good-very good. In Ohio
the crop IL at least an average, and the
same may be said of most of the wheat
growing States In Tennessee, the wheat
G op will not yield much If any over half
the ordinary yield. ''', bae .,ef.so
The corn crops are at this time very
promising generally. Here in Tennessee
where corn has been well worked, 1T looks
promising Oats have not yielded SO
,abundantly here as was supposed, but still
the yields good. In some of the STATES
the prospect for an abundant crop is fiat
tering. /, Fruits and vegetables are also
abundant generally. There is nolprospee'
OF, immediate famine in the United States
More people will die in the, next year from
eating too much than from starvation q

DoTAeE VERSUS MANHOOD.


1t is sad spectacle, to see man who
has lived a long, useful and honorable, life
who has served his country faithfully and
with credit to himself, but whose life is.
drawing 10 a close, and, whose latter days
are marked by ambition without judg-
ment or prudence. The fight made by
Judge Chase against the infamous institu-
ton of slavery will be remembered by the
friends of hum anity always. His long and
useful public career is a part of the history
of his own State and of the nation, and
when considered apart from the inordi-
nate ambition Of his old age, will be point
ed to with pleasure by his friends long af-'
ter he is gone. His longing for the Presi-
dental chair seems to be OF such violent
character, as to drag him into the arena OF
politics, and to cause him to declare di-
rectly against the professions of his vigor-
Gus manhood. His friends, or those who
have been his lifelong personal and politi-
cal supporters, find no favor in his eyes,
and he is found tampering with and court
ing the sympathies of party for which he
never entertained any sympathy. He is
found writing letters, and speaking words
of encouragement to those who have been
the champions Of slavery. and who, now
that slavery is dead, are building up then
hopes on the associations of former days
when the institution reigned supreme in
the land. We say it is sad sight, to see
an old man thus stultifying a record SC
honorable as his has been. 4'29i'e' ! &
We have no hard words to utte
against him. We honor him for what hs
has been, and are willing to see the mantle
of charity covering over the ishortcomipg'
OF. his old age. We do not believe him tc
be bad man, but judging him by theid
veloprnentss Of the past three years, w
have come to the opinion, that he is no
i z onups az those who "would rather be RICH
than President -" =

does not control his aspirations, and con

VIZ were present in st, Louis, last Sab
bath. at the celebration of the 18th Ami
versary. of the Pontifcate of Plus TX.
with one of the most imposing professions
we have eyer witnessed, They marched
in close order, four abreast, and were one
hour and twenty minutes in passing a
given point. When it isknown that nine
teen-twentieths Of this vast throng were
on foot, some idea may be formed of the
large number that Joined in the procession.
A perfect forest of banners appeared along
the line, upon which were. devices appro-
pirate, to the occasion, while the thousands
kept step to the music OF more than a
score Of cornet bands. The members OF
many Of the organizations wore handsome
regalias and gay uniforms, which Jared
badly in the rain and mud. The rain
commenced falling just as the procession
moved, and we doubt if ever as many UNI
brellas were spread in one continuous line
OH earth as were displayed there. If old
Father Plus could have beheld that vast
,throng he would have felt new incentives
to infallibility. The fact that SO many
persons in one single American city were
not deferred from showing their alteration
by inclement weather, is certainly .calcur
lated to inspire him with such feelings.
On Sunday night their churches and pri-
vate residences were brilliantly illuminat-
ed. and the city was ablaze with rockets
and Roman candles. 1t was indeed a gala
day, such as not often witnessed in any
city upon any occasion. .ss5.
