Frightful ChirOgrapliy.

The late George NJ. d. Bloss, of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, though held in re-
gard socially by nearly all who knew
him, was somewhat eccentric. His &C.
centricity, if it may be so called in this
connection, took its most aggravated
form in his manuscript. He was per-
haps as widely known for the peculiari-
tes OF his penmanship as he was for his
undoubted ability as political writer.
His writing was frightful scrawl, abso-
lutely illegible except to few compost
tors, who by patient and continuous
practice. learned to put it in type, sub
ject to extended corrections in the mar.
gin of the proof. Specimens of his
copy" have found their way to nearly
all the printing offices in the United
States, through the medium of travelling
printers who had worked in the En-
guirer office, and who carried small
pieces away as curiosities.

Sabbath or Sunday.

The Presbyterian general assembly,
in session at Brooklyn, adopted a reso-
luton the other day approving the use
of the term Sabbath" in designating
Sunday. Most people are in the habit
of using these Synonymous terms indis-
criminately. Still there is shade of
difference in their meaning, when used
critically. Sabbath is Hebrew word,
meaning rest, originally applying to
Saturday, and the significance of the
action taken by the general assembly
is that it asserts belief in the assumption
that the Lords day of the Christians
ought to be observed In accordance with
the Levitical law. A declaration on
this point was called out by the fact
that Prof. Hopkins, of the Auburn Theo-
logical seminary, has maintained the
opposite doctrine. The general assem-
bly, takes this indirect way to protest
against the Sabbatical heresy of the
learned professor.

At first il was held by many that pc
troleum was result of distillation from
the bituminous Goals which were found
in its vicinity, and this belief was
strengthened by the fact that some of
the very bituminous Goals. such as
camel and Boghead coal, afforded large
quantities OF similar oils ON being dis
titled but, although this is very prob
ably the source of q small amount OF
oil, yet the larger part of it is now be-
lieved to derive its origin from rocks
lying below the coal measures, since the
oil bearing rocks are mostly older than
the carboniferous formations.
Some Investigators have absorbed a
vegetable origin to petroleum, but most
authorities agree in attributing it to
animal as well as vegetable agencies.
Shales are the most common oil-bearing
rocks, and in their formation the or
ganic materials would be finely divided
and protected from oxidation. The oil
bearing shales commonly show few
vegetable remains, and Dana observes
that the absence of distinct fossil animal
and vegetable remains points 10 an
abundance of delicate water plants or
infusorih or microscopic vegetable life
as the source of the organic material con
tanned in them. Limestones, on the
other hand, are frequently full of animal
fossil remains, showing an animal origin
for the oil in them. although it is by no
means agreed that the petroleum in GER
tain limestones was derived from organic
remains in the limestones and not from
other strata below them. In whatever
shape the finely-divided material was
originally present, it would be finely
diffused through the mud, and protected
from atmospheric agencies, and subse-
quently the hydrocarbons would be
formed from them, probably at but q
slight elevation of temperature, produced
by the same agencies which have caused
elevations in the temperature of the in
tsrior of the earth's crust at various
points.
Dana has further pointed out how
petroleum mint be formed by the re-
actions of ther oganic vegetable remains
alone, the abstraction of some carbon
and oxygen, as carbonic acid, accounting
for the formation of the lighter oils,
while escape of some marsh-gas from
less confined material would account for
the heavier oils.--Prof. Cornwall, in
Popular Science MOnthly.

Printers Protest.

The Government printers at Washing
ton have united in petition to Congress
demonstrating against their project to
place their pay upon the Same basis as
paid in Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York. They give the following reasons
why they receive more pay than any
other class of printers: One-half of the
current work of Congress is tabular, to
compose which great experience is re-
CURED. The average compositor, who
has never been on this class of work,
can no more do it than the average

NOT so BAD.

The Courier-Journal of the tenth in
slant has the following:
At . late hour last night Colonel George
p. Doern, editor of the An.eiger, received
the following dispatch from George Foers-
ter. editor of the New Orleans German
Gazette:
Louisiana Democratic by over $4,000,
Notwithstanding enormous frauds and
erasures of thousands of Democratic names
from registration books by Radicals. We
fear Marshal Pitkin is planning to seize the
ballOt-bOxes with the military, carry them
to the gunbOat Ossippee, the Returning
Board to assemble on board; and declare
Hayes and Packard elected. The situation
Is exceedingly grave The excitement is
increasing hourly. The people are quiet
and determined. Desperate action by the
Radicals is expected, hut We hope Demo
Gratis of the North aud West will not tamely
eubmit to the crushing out of the last
vestige of constitutional government
We are glad to be able to state that
with the exception of a box or two cap
tured by bulldozers in the country par
ishes, the ballot-boxes are all in the hands
of their lawful and proper custodians, and
We are also glad to be able to say that
Louisiana has fair and sufficient Repub-
lican majority, instead of being $4,000
majority on the wrong side.
