NOTES.

NUIIDs
There were four fatal cases of srnstrolSe
in New York, Friday.
The tobacco plant grows llxuriantly In
Washington Territory.
The agricultural districts of Ireland are
remarkably prosperous.
There were at least fourteen deaths by
ightning In Kansas In July.
The population Of Paris In December,
1876, according to the journal OGiciet, was
1,gsss06 SO that 1t is safe to say that the
French metropolis now contains over two
millions Of souls.
The net debt OF the city of New York is
Sls2,9 21o 90, the amount added during the
past year being ST., ,343 30. Sound flnan-
cial authoritiec say that II these constant adj
ditions to the permanent debt are not arrested
The city will be bankrupt
Bishop Gilmour (Roman Catholic) has is
sued d pastoral prohibiting public appeals
except for public charities; also round dam
cling and night dancing for public charities or
church purposes, the selling OF wine or beer,
and moonlight excursions or picnics continued
after nightfall.
The Arabs claim that Ewes tomb is at
Jiddah, the seaport of Mecca. The temple,
with u palm growing out OF It's centre, Is sup
posed to mark the place where Ewes head
rests, and dgfned mosque is believed to be
exactly over her tomb. According to the
Arabs, the lady measured about 200 feet in
height, but, judging by the dimensions OF
her tomb, 1t would seem that the Ishmaeltes
much undertake her real length. Arabs, how
ever, are very bad judges of distance.
are immense and the expectations small. In
eleven months the importations have been
1,229, 944,035 pounds, against 1,233,060,717
pounds In the corresponding period last year,
and they have been made at five cents
pound as against four cents last year. The
export has been about 36, DOC, 900 pounds. Last
year In the same period 1t was 56,000,0o
pounds. The sugar refiners have been load
ing up with stock during dull market, which
is pretty good proof of their confidence in the
future.
"A Vienna letter to the London Economist
saws: "The burning of a potato field at NUM-
helm, on the Rhine, with the view of destroy
ing the Colorado beetle. which had been dis
covered on 1t, has not been quite effectual.
After the burning an expert examined the
field and by digging lower found that numer-
GUS stocks Of eggs and larva had been left UNI
touched by the fire. Since it has been found
that burning the plants with petroleum and
sawdust is insufficient ii has been proposed
that the ground should be dug up with a
plow and then be set on fire.
Preparations are rapidly proceeding at
Boston for the dedication of the grand army
and navy monument. 1t has been decided to
invite to be present fifty Union and about q
dozen rebel generals and colonies who par
ticipated in the late war. The former include
Gems. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Hancock.
Hartranft, Burnside, Butler, Mcclellan, Banks
and all others Of any prominence while the
latter comprise Jubal Early, Longstreet, Joe
Johnston, Wade Hampton, Gov. Nichols, of
Louisiana Fitz Hugh Lee, Beauregard,
Col. Simmons, OF the Washington Light In
fantry, Charleston, S. O.. and others.

SAMOA ANNEXED TO AMERICA.

The Fiji Times OF June Is says that
| news has been received that the Ameri-
| can flag has been hoisted at Samoa and
allegiance formerly rendered to the
United States. Some strange rumors
are current with respect to this move
ment, but we forbear, for the present at
least, from giving them publicity. The
Lurline, the arrival of which may be
daily expected, will no doubt bring am
pie and authentic intelligence.
The New Zealand Herald SAYS "The
American flag has been hoisted at
Samoa, and unless the action of the
| consul is repudiated by the authorities
at Washington, the islands of the Navi-
gators group will henceforward have to
be accounted as in the possession of the
American government. A short time
ago we gave the particulars connected
with the visit of several Samoan chiefs
to Fiji, whittier they had gone to en-
deavor to persuade Gov. Sir Arthur Cor
Great Britain. Apparently, the Samoan
chiefs had not got any Encouragement.
for, on their return home, the American
consul, Mr.. Griffin, commenced negotia-
tions to have the American flag hoisted.
All the preliminaries were completed on
the night Of the 23d Of May, a number
Of documents having been signed, and
on the morning Of the oath the Ameri-
can flag was hoisted at the Kings
house, at Point Molinu, on the west
side OF Apia harbor. A salute OF twen-
ty.one guns was fired from the other
side OF the harbor. The American clip
per bark Menshokoff was lying at Apia
at the time, and an American man-of-
war Is expected shortly. A great feast
was given at the Kings house, and all
the white inhabitants were invited to
60. Thakombau's son, from Fiji, and
the English consul, Mr.. Liardet, went
to where the feast was being held, and
said they would join them Ii they would
haul down the American flag while they
were there. The natives, however, de-
clined to haul down the flag, even tenn
porarily, and Prince Timothy and the
English consul left. Mr.. Griffin, the
American consul, has recently visited
Washington, but it was not stated that
he had been commissioned to accept the
cession Of the islands"
Italians are unusually excited about
are told of the sounds emitted from it's
interior which are likened to the roar OF
disturbed sea, amid which is distin-
guisheda cracking as OF many burning
logs OF wood. These noises are heard,
1t is said, at q distance Of two miles
from the crater; and fears have been
expressed lest q continuous discharge
OF lava should effect a passage which
would place the observatory in danger.
Some thirty persons. ladies included,
make nightly ascent OF the mountain
to witness the magnificent spectacle
presented.

A RELIABLE London commercial and
financial writer says of the business
prospects in that .country: "It is the
prevailing opinion that a period has now
been entered upon when steady revi-
val of trade will be experienced. The
improvement is not confined to one
branch of industry alone, but applies to
almost every department OF the national
trade, especially to the great staples OF
the country. There is much more con-
fdence, too, in monetary circles. The
leading financial houses are breathing
more freely. the distrust that prevailed
a while ago has disappeared and credit
is to q great extent restored"

averaged about thrty-seven thousand
barrels, now less than twenty-seVen
thousand per diem. 1t is said, probably
by those in the interest Of the present
high prices, that the present produc-
tion is not equal to the
consumption and that when
the old stocks are worked off a still
farther advance may be expected.
That with the increasing foreign de-
mand which now takes about tWo-'hirds
of the product, and the diminishing
yield, the present price is strictly legiti-
mate and not the result Of a "corner."
The TACT is, however, that the price of
crude oil has not advanced at all in pro-
portion TO the advance in the refined
article, showing clearly that the latter
was not the result of any sudden
scarcity or rise in price of the former.
Our readers may therefore reasonably
hope for quite dropping off in the pres
ent price of this universal illuminator
before the lapse OF many moons. The
Standard Oil Company have too good
thing in this monopoly to be allowed to
enjoy it for any great length of time.

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE is sometimes
as injurious to ones personal effects as
a misplaced switch. In 1868 Rev. Ber-
nard MeFeeley, of Boston, deposited
some SIG, 600 in U. S. bonds and cash with
his sexton, one Peter B. Scott, man
in whom great confidence was reposed,
the more particularly because of his
confidential relations with the late
Oakes Ames. In 1871 the reverend de.
positor died, and now his legal repre-
sentatiyes have instituted criminal pro
Ceedings against Scott, and on the eve
of Christmas he was consigned to Jail on
q bench warrant for refusing to restore
bhe funds.

THE CORNER IN KEROSENE.

For nearly generation past the civil
lized world has enjoyed the blessing Of
cheap illumination, excepting. of course,
that small portion Of the civilized world
included IN gas-it cities, where, under
protection OF charter, the most eXor-
bitant prices are charged for making
darkness visible to The naked eye. Kero-
Bene has been so cheap as TO render the
luxury of cheerful light attainable by
the humblest and poorest. The former
cost of Il tallow dip, expended in oil,
would brighten up the entire dwelling.
The days wages of mechanic could
pay the cost of cheerful, well lighted
household for the better part of year.
1t had almost ceased to be regarded as
an item to enter into the annual esti-
mates of the committee of ways and
means in the domestic household. But
a few months ago the kerosene-con-
suming world woke up one morning to a
new sensation. 1t felt as if it had been
set down on by the President, Board Of
Directors and Superintendent of some
universal gas monopoly.
Refined oil had advanced about one
hundred and fifty per cent. during the
night! An eclipse of the sun, unherald-
ed by the almanac would have
created less establishment. But could
the combination which had effected this
enormous advance sustain it for any
length of time? 1t did not seem Mt all
probable in view of the former enor-
nous production of the crude oil. Bub
while everybody was looking for a
break, behold another advance equal to
almost fifty per cent. on the original
price! ....
OF course no such sudden rise could
be warranted by any new condition Of
the market. 1t was simply the result of
aggantic combination among the Lead
ing refners throughout the country, and
the Kerosene manufacture is now al
most entirely in the hands of q single
corporation, known as the Standard Oil
Company. ..
This Company has capital of about
twenty million, and owns or controls most
of the refining and dstilling works in
Cleveland, TitusviLe, Oil City, Buffalo,
Erie, Baltimore and other Eastern and
Northern cities. The few small pro-
ducers who have not joined this combi-
nation very gladly of course avail them
selves OF the opportunity to make rapid
fortunes out OF the present prices. An
English Company with capital OF
kl,500, 900 have commenced works at Bcr-
gen Point with view of breaking in
upon this great MONOPOLY Sooner or
later the enormous profit of the business
will attract other capital, and fall in
prices must result.
But will it ever reach the former low
fguresS Quite probably not, for the rea-
son that the supply of the oil wells is
steadily decreasing from year to year
Some of the most productive wells have
entirely given out. Others have dimin.
Ished in productiyeness so much as tC
largely increase the cost of pumping. Nc
new fields OF operation have been dis
covered of late, and at the present time
the yield of crude oil of light gravity
suitable for making kerosene or coal oil
Is fully ten thousand barrels per day less
man it was two years ago. In 1874 il
