The''Huguenots in America.

On the revocation of the Edict Of Nantes
in 1885, at least 100000 Huguenots took
refuge in foreign countries. From this
time, for many years, their cause was COM
pletely broken in France. In 1705 there
was not a single organized congregation of
Huguenots left in all France.-So early as
1866, Coligni attempted, but without sue
cess, to establish a Huguenot colony in
Brazil. In 1862 he sent out two ships, un-
der the command of Jean Ribault, on voy-
age of exploration to Florida, but the at
tempt to establish colony was unsuceess-
full. Many departed for North America
even before the revocation of the Edict of
Nantes Some settled in and around New
Amsterdam, now New York, where their
family names are frequent. Others found
homes in Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, and
Virginia. But South Carolina was their
favorite resting place, and large number
of the foremost families in that State are
of Huguenot origin. This class of immi-
grants has contributed, in proportion to its
numbers, vast share to the culture and
prosperity of the United States. Wherever
they settled they were noted for severe
morality, great charity, and politeness and
elegance of manners. Of seven Presidents
who directed the deliberations of the Con-
gress of Philadelphia during the Revolution,
three, Henry Laurens, John Jay, and Elias
Boudinot, were of Huguenot parentage.-

IRRIGATION IN ITALY.

Great attention is paid to irrigation in the
agriculture Of Italy. The Romans during
several centuries had extensive works which,
are still in use. The water is carried not
only over the grsss-lands and rice-ields,
but between the ridges in the grain-felds,
and through the vineyards round the roots
of the vines. The distribution of it is con-
trolled by regular system. The state it
self claims the waters of all the rivers of
Lombardy; and in the Venetian territories
all the springs and collection of rain-water
belong to the government. The use of the
waters of the rivers is rented out at a GER
tain price, by the hour or alf-hour, or for
SO many days at certain seasons of the
year. Persons are entitled to make canals
through the land Of others lying between
them and the river. ON paying for the dam
age Thus caused. The channels for leading
the water into the lands and the parallel
channels alternating with them, placed ut
about six inches lower elevation for con-
veying the water away, are laid out with
great regularity, at distances usually o.
about twenty-five feet between them. In
summer the water is allowed to flow
through them for several hours about once
week, but the flow is steadily kept ~
from October to April, except at the time
Of cutting the grass. In northern Italy,

Failure of Daniel Drew.

NEW York, March 13.-The Swa says
Daniel Drew has filed petition in bank
ruptcy. Mr.. Drew states his liabilities
will probably amount to 5000, 900. The en-
dowment of Drew to the Theological Sem
mary of Madison, New Jersey, for $780,
600, and that of the Wesleyan University,
at Middletown, Connecticut, for $100, 900,
are secured by mortgages on his farms.
This was done soon after his first troubles,
when he felt the need of protecting them-
AS executor of the estate of his grandchil-
dren Mr.. Drew is liable for $500, 900 addi-
tional; this, he says, is secured by mort
gage. Mr.. Drew has been in Wall street
for thirty years. He states the beginning
of his financial misfortunes to have been
the loss of o million dollars in Northwest
ern two or three years ago.
Daniel Drew, whose petition in bank
ruptcy has been filed, is liable upon en-
dorsement Of the note of Drew, to the
Theological Seminary at Madison, New
Jersey, in the sum of $3.50, 900; also an en-
dorsement note to the Wesleyan University
at Middleton, Connecticut, in the sum ol
800, 900. These two notes are unsecured
His other unsecured liabilities amount &c
between one and two hundred thousand
dollars. The amount OF liabilities, secured
and unsecured, are about one million and .
half of dollars

The Yield of Petroleum.

The extent Of the petroleum field is said
to be clearly defined by Gordon of ssdry
wells, " and it is now believed that the days
of ''big strikes are over SO far as the old
territory ID concerned. The result 10 con-
slant improvement in the price Of oil. For
the last few years, while the daily produe-
tion has ranged about $4,000 barrels, the
agice has been very low. Millions Of bar
aeas have been on hand, that were sold for
whatever could be brought, but now that it is
aselisved the limit of the field has been reach
ed, the price is steadily increasing. At NIL
events, production has greatly fallen of, al
though many new wells have been sunk,
and it is now thought that the daily yield
dees mot average twenty three thousand
barrels. The price is higher than ii has
been i'm ten years. Another fact that prom
ises well for the trade is this; while the ter
ritory was clearly defined small operators
sunk wells all over the country. Some were
unfortunate, but othera Z struck These
| frequent successes kept down the price of
oil but now that the field ID well known, and
as it is in possession of wealthy operators,
| who are averse TO shaking any more wells,
it is anticipated that the price which has
been reached will be sustained.

The State of Oregon.

The name Oregon was long applied TO all
the territory claimed by the United States
on the Pacific coast, extending from Lat.
42o to $40 40' north. Under the treaty of
1918, the provisions of which were contin-
ued in 1927. it was Jointly occupied by
Great Britain and the United States till
1846, when the latter, by the northwest
boundary treaty, abandoned all claim to
the country north of the 49th parallel, and
the name Oregon was restricted to the re.
gion south Of that line, to which in turn
Great Britain renounced ali claim. Though
the coast of Oregon had been previously
seen by various navigators, in history, as
known to civilized man, may be said to
commence with the discovery of the Co
lumbia river by Captain Robert Gray, who
entered it's mouth in the American ship Co.
lumbia from Boston, May z, 1792, and gave
the name of hls vessel to the river. Bv
the Louisiana purchase, in 1903, the United
States acquired whateYer title France may
have had to this region. The expedition
across tho continent, under Captains Lewis
and Clarke, in fe04-6, gave the Americans
an additional title to the country. In 1888
the emigration of Americans commenced
overland, and previous to 1850 several
thousand reached Oregon. subsequently,.
the discoveries of gold attracted many set
tiers. The first attempt at organized gov
ernment was made in 1841, and resulted in
the establishment of an executive and a
legislative committee in 1843. The Terri4
tory Of Oregon was organized by the act Of
August IA, 1S4s, comprising all the United
States territory west of the summit of the
Rocky Mountains and north of the 42d
parallel. The act of March Q, 1853, created
Washington Territory, comprising all of
Oregon north of the Columbia river toward
the west, and Of tho 48th parallel toward
the east. By tEs act Of February IA, 1859,
Congress admitted Oregon in to the Union
with its present limits. Applston's .Anssrs.

Fatality and the Letter "M."

While the steamer Mary Bell was wrap
ped in flames at this port week ago, says
the Vicksburg Herald, Captain Hicks stood
looking on at the magnificent spectacle with
an air of mingled sorrow and admiration.
"Never," said he, as he looked at the de-
struction of the splendid steamer, "never
will give another steamboat name COM
mencing with an nj. I ann not supersti-
tious," said Captain Hicks, sbut a strange
fatality seems to follow boats whose names
begin with an M. I'll never do so again"
The Captain declared the Mary Bell was
about SEC, 900 ahead on the nine trips she
had made, and if she had gotten through
On her last trip, would have cleared be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 more.
The New Orleans Republican remarks
upon this same subject: We are by no
means superstitious, but the recent destruc-
tion, at Vicksburg, of the steamer Mary
Bell, recalls to our memory the many pack
cts that have sunk, blown up and burned
during the past quarter century, whose
names commence with the letter M. We
here reproduce the following boats that
have been lost during the period above al
luded to:
Moselle, Monsoon, Moroyian, Mouud
City, Maid Of Orleans, Medoc, Mary Ag-
mes, Montauk, Missouri, Mail, two Magen-
tas, Monarch, Metamora, Maggie Hays,
Maggie, Maria, Memphis, two Mohawks,
Mayfower, Michigan, two Mountaineers,
two Moguls, Martha Jewett, Marquette,
Mississippi, Missouri, Mail Boy, Mermaid,
Mandern, Monarch No. 2, Monsoon No. 2,
Martha Washington, Mohican, Maria Dem
ming, Mameluke, Magnolia, Mittie Steph-
ems, May Lowry and Mary Bell. 1t would
seem from the foregoing list of names that
there was strange fatality attending boats
whose names begin with the letter M.
