INDIAN AFFAIRS IN ARIZONA The Wash
ington Chronicle, has the following: From
letter recently received by General Howard,
IN regard to Arizona affairs. we learn that
the peace made with Cochise has every ap-
pearance of being faithfully kept by that
chief. In one Instance recently a band of
thirty-two warriors of the Apache tribe who
had not been informed of the cessation OF
hostilites were met en- route to Sonora on
the road, and brought to Cochise, who in
formed them that he W ould permit of no
hostilities nor plundering, and they turned
back to their homes. In another instance
one of the mail drivers on the road, passing
through the Apache country was thrown
from his wagon, and the team with the mail
ran away, The driver went on foot to the
station, and the next day one of Cochise 6
Indians found the outfit astray and brought
it to the agency without loss of value
or of the mail This action will be
better understood when it is known that one
of the principal objects of the Indians has
been to drive the mail off all the roads Be-
side Cochise, another important chief, named
Nathoza, on learning of the peace, came in
with his band, saying that there were no
more Indians south except six OF his crowd
for whom he would SEND. The number of
Indians in Cochise's reservation is being in
creased, and travel on the highways resumed
also, with assured safety. Not single dep
relation has been committed since General
Howard made peace, and from every source
comes evidence of satisfaction of the citize ms
of Arizona with what has been effected.

TWENTY DOLLAR TEA.-The greatest
dainty the palate of Chinese Graves is
tam cto,o, the flower of tea. A San Fran
cisco Chronicle man had the opportunity,
few days ago, to sip the imperial tea
bloom, the priceless beverage Of celestial
extravaganza. Learning that the enter
prising firm of Castle Brothers, 213 and
2l5 Front street, had samples of very
rare tea, he visited the counting room OF
that firm, was shown the samples, and
directed to Tuck Chong & Co., Chinese
wholesale merchants, at 1913 Sacramento
street, for information. Tuck Chong, an
urbane Chinese, received the reporter
kindly, listened to his request to be shown
the imperial leaf, and brought in the
priceless luxury in small and highly or
namental box of sandal wood The slide
lid was pulled out, and six alternate layers
of perfumed rice paper and silk were care
fully lifted.
Beneath all this covering was gilded
square piece Of sandal wood, THIS also
was lifted, and the tea blossom was dis
played. Rolled in balls, twisted into tiny,
tlame-shaped rolls an inch long, twisted
very small, tied in little punches, like
cigarettes. at one end and whipped into
shreds at the other, was the tea flower,
packed in loose petals Of its own kind, to
preserve its fragrance.
This" said Tuck Chong, is tea
that only mandarins OF highest rank ever
get chance to drink in China. 1t is
grown on the plantation Of very rich
mandarin, in the province Of Foo Chow,
and can only be gotten from him or his
agent in Pekin. There was once a law
forbidding its export, but ev, n an Ameri-
can can now buy and drink it. 1t costs

The Volcano lubricator. (Volcano, W. Va.) 1871-1879, 1873-08-12

THE Pstroiia Ad9crfiscr, published
at the center of the Canadian oil field
gives the following figures concerning
the business Of the last year:
The total shipments Of oil from Pc
trolia station from July l, 1872, to July
r, 1873, were 495,425 barrels. The to-
tails for the three kinds shipped-crude,
sS6, refined, 1895; distiiiate, 95,-
942 barrels.
The fact is becoming more apparent
that there is a great scarcity OF good
oil producing territory, and unless
some new and big strikes occur very
soon, the refners will have to shut
down entirely, and remove their works
to places where the crude material is
more abundant The interest lately
shown in testing crude for the purpose
of fuel for engines is so far favorable,
and hopes are entertained that it will
come into general use. on all the rail l.
roads. $1.25 is abopt the highest. fig:
ure paid for crude, and it will probably
remain at that figure for the present.

Third Term Twaddle.

What there is in the third term

journals throughout the country, Tor
the life OF me l cannot make out
President Grant has auth orizcd the
statement that he has given the mat
ter no thought; the leading admins
tration politicians say they know moth
ing about it; the people are as much
in the fog and even more indifferent
Just now than politicians. Nobody
seems to have any definite information
on the subject except those journals
that are pleased to be angry about it. 1t
is the most persistent attempt at max
ing much ado about nothing" the his
tory OF modern politics affords. Should
these blatant defamers Of the President
continue their senSeless TRADE oil abuse
much longer, there is just a possibility
that they may incline the people VINO
have faith in Grant to support him tor
4 third term, if for no other than the
double purpose Of vindicating him
from unjust assaults, and showing the
world that our institutions are too
deeply seated in the hearts ofthe mass
es to be overturned by any man, no
matter how many times he may occu'
by the Presidential chair.
Whether or not Grant will seek NOM
nation, and whether or not he ought
to get it, are questions far in the future
Issues may arise between this and 1876
that may entirely change the complex
ion of our politics. But there is one
thing certain, and that is, the third
term argument is premature, and SC
far as affairs now stand, oflittle weight.

What the Producers say about Gas.

The gas question is now exciting the
minds of operators and producers.
They see in this the only outlet to their
surplus oil, and the oilmen OF the lower
region have commenced work in earn
est. They propose to donate, free of
cost, to any city or gas company that
will accept. the necessary machinery
for changing their works so as to use
petroleum Instead of coal for general
ing gas. This proposition vii! be ac-
companicd BY such conditions as will
insure :he machinery to be permanent
~ used, ifthe experiment proves sue
cess. This the operators are able to
do. 1t will be great day for them,
when petroleum gas is first used to
light the cities OF Philadelphia, New
York, Boston and other large cities.
There vii. then be no more cry of
overproduction, and the rings OF refine
ries and m:ddlemen will be broken.
The difficulty at present is the ex-
pense of the change of machinery in the
gas works. The st stockholders will be
slow to lend money and aid towards
an experiment, the result OF which
they are not fully certain, and unlcss
oilmen do as the lower operators pro-
pose, donate them machinery free Of
cost, the day is distant when the oil re-
gion will feel the benefit of the new
outlet.-TIa:outc Tanrnak.

Among the most satisfactory ii:dica-
tions of speedy improvement in the
CO dition Of the oil matGct is the en-
ormous increase in the exports Of pc
troleum this season, as compared with
an previous year. The following ia
BILE of the quantity shipped from lead
ing ports, from January to June 1,
1872 and 1873, will show how greatly
the foreign demand has augmented
within a few months. The table is
compiled from the last issue Of the
New York Commercial and Shipping
list, the leading authority on all mat
ter$ pertaining to shipments or i'm
ports to or from the United States.
The exhibit is as follows, and a careful
examination OF the fguers should be

made BY producers.

In addition to the above, the exports
from New York aggregated nearly
three million gallons during the first
three days or June, an increase Of
ser twenty-seven million gallons
since the first Of January as compared
with the same months Of 1872. 1t is
further noteworthy that regular ex-
portat:cas Of large quantities are made
to regions heretofore non-consumcrs
OF petroleum or its products, and it is
only reasonable 10 expect enlarged or
ders from these sources in the future.
At this moment there are loading, or
to load, at New York and Philadel
Phia, vessels whose cargoes Of refined
oil will represent the total production
of the entire petroleum districts for
nearly two months. The coal famine
in England is rapidly undermining the
psejuGices existing against kerosene as
an illuminator, and the petroleum
trade with that country is fast acquir-
ing vast proportions as the result. Thus
Liverpool imported 2s5,7oS gallons
last year, up to the first of June,
against I,l5o,S77 this season; London,
S53,43s, against I.74I,s5r; Bristol, 1885,
s34. against 7SI,S52; and other ports
in like proportion. The exports to
Ireland have more than doubled; those
to France quadrupled, and the demand
from Germany and Belgium and other
European countries is enormously in
creased.
These facts and figures are at once
interesting and suggestive, indicating,
as they do, in unmistakable terms, an
enhanced value of petroleum at no dis
tant date. With so great an enlarge
ment Of the foreign demand, a pro-
duction certainly no greater than the
markets of the world require, the
chances OF its application in immense
quantities to new purposes, and the
continuous increase of home consump-
ton, it is difficult to believe oil will
not advance in price till it reaches a
figure at which the average operator
will be able to carry on his business, if
not at large profit, at least without
positive loss, as has been the case in
too many instances during the depres-
sion OF the last few months.

A scrap Of History o..

The FIRST Legislature Of this State
was always admitted to have been
composed Of tho best iutOlleCts of the
State. Its members were generally
able and experienced Legislators yet
that body was in continuous session
from June Goth to December 18th,
1868, almost six months, in changing
and assimiluting the laws Of Virginia
10 the new order of things under the
Constitution Of the new State. BE.
sides this, in less than six weeks after
tho adjournment Of tho first Lcgisla.
ture, another one assembled, and was
in session more than six weeks, ma
king altogether nearly eight months
time. And yet there was no grum5.
ling, because it was actually necessary
to have these long sessions, to set eve.
rything going smoothly. The same
necessity exists now, in passing from
the old order Of things 10 the new, and
considering the incxpericnee of almost
the entire body, right rapidly aad we'll
has tue work been done. The real
works SO far has been done in the com.
miltOos, aud consequently the meagcr
reports Of the legislative proceedings
make it appear that little has been done
or ia doing, but from now to the end
Of the session the reports from tbS va.
riouS committees will be coming in,
md will evidence tho fact that the
best interests Of the State arO being
cared for, and that real. earnest and
hard labor lac been performed.
