The Use of OIL at Sea.

The position of seals is we'll known by
the traces Of oil which they throw up
when feeding on oil giving fishes such
as the cod; and the course taken by
shoals of behring's and Pilchards can al
so be easily observed by the oil, let free,
causing streaks Of smooth water in the
midst Of the otherwie turbulent element
From the same reason, the sea never
breaks round the body of dead or har.
distance may be easily discerned. Tho
cooks slush, or the waste from disused
oilbarrel. or a little coal tar thrown over
board has caused rough sea to become
rapily smooth. DR.. Franklin tells US
that in Newport Harbor, United States,
the sea was always smooth when there
were any whaling. vessels at anchor in it,
through the waste of blubber and oil
from them. When the bilgc. water from
oil.laden chips in the Ceylon trade is
pumped overheard, the roughness caused
by gale subsidies Immediately; and
knowing this, some Intelligent masters,
especially when near the Cape of Good
Hope always resort to the pumps Of
such ships previous to encountering hea-
Wy weather. Indeed, when running q
gale, oil is sometimes thrown from ves-
sells in the Newfoundland and Labrador
trade, to keep the sea from breaking over
them. They can run mach Longer with
this assistance than without 1t, and the Oil
spreads to windward as fast as to leeward.
Yet how little arc these facts known.
The writer has spoken of them Cor years
to captains Of vessels, who have either
received these facts with Indifference or
refused them credence. 1t is to be hoped
that more general attention may be given
to this important subject; and as it is
one which deeply concerns the interest of
the mercantile marine, it seems most de-
sirable that some public body--thc wreck
commissioners, for instance-should get
together all the substantial information
which might lead to placing the matter
in an effective shape. What could be

HELP ONE ANOTHER.

Zinc and time again we have felt II our
duty to impress upon our people the nccessi-

And 1t is because 1t Is of vital Importance to
the growth and prosperity of our town that
we intrude the subject again upon our read.
ers. There seems to be disposition to bring
articles OF manufacture to our town, and sell
them at such ruinous prices that the manufae-
turers OF the same article here cannot COM
pete with them. We have wagon building
shop where they can make as good and sub
stantial wagon as can be made anywhere,
But doing all their work by hand, they can
not compete with the machine nufactured
ones OF the North. If, however, all these
wagons that are brought here were manu-
featured here, 1t would necessitate large es-
Enlistment, the use of steam and machinery
The employment of large number of men,
and the consequent bringing to, and circula-
ting In, our community considerable sum of
money. On the contrary, however, instead
OF this, large numbers of wagons, brought
here, from different establishments. by rival
houses, drug the market, and are finally sold
at very low prices, and on credit after SUBJ
lection to all kinds of weather for nearly all
the worst part of the year. Almost all OF
our merchants who have been "handling "
these imported wagons admit that they have
made no money by the operation. Such be-
Ing the case, is there any wonder that we dc
not thrive? Can we expect manufacturing
men to establish here, when they are made
aware Of the existent state of affairs? Will
we, can we succeed as a community, when
our merchants blockade, In this manner, our
manufacturing interests by cruel monopo-
ly? We have a wagon and carriage manu-
factory, two tin aud iron-ware shops, bar
rel-shop, saddle and harness establishment,
several boot and shoe shops, and quite num-
Der of grist-mils. Now. how, in the name
of all that is good. do you expect any of these
mechanical industries to subsist, If the food
necessary for such subsisting is denyed them
firms were to open business here, and by ru-
inously low prices, SECURE all their trade? If
an auctioneer, even, puts in an appearance, it
makes quite furry in the mercantile ranks,
and why? Because, says the merchant the
low prices of sale, are hurting our business.
" There's the rub" This is parallel course
to the one pursued toward our manufacture
ing interests. If we expect the mechanical
interests to thrive among us, we must en-
courage their progress, rather than blockade
it. Live and let live" must displace the
spirit of selfishness that Is becoming too
prevalent among us. Let lis all try to disa-
abuse our minds of any and every ungener-
GUS feeling, and all unite our energies and
labors for the benefit and advancement of our
community. by encouraging its mechanical

Editor Van Buren, Press:
DEAR SIR l notice our little village

OF our vicinity, that Evansville should
be represented by a paper that would
cause its good name to 60 to every intel
ligent man and woman of Western Ar.
kansas. 1t, but few years since, had a
name as famous for fighting, as it now
has for peace and morality. We seldom
have any fights, but if the boys disagree
they walk out, like men of old, and set
tie the disputablo point with their fist,
instead of shedding the blood of their
fellow-creatures as it has been the Gus
tom to do since the war. IF we have a
fight, in town, it is generally by those
living IN the country, rs you shall see.
Only few days since, an old lady Of the
country followed three young men to
town, and gave them genteel chasten.
ing. 1t seems that the old lady was
badly opposed to certain young man
waiting upon one of her daughters. The
young man, not actuatod by q loving
spirit, had stolen the pride Of his youth,
and took her to church. After which,
in order to have pleasant time, they
brought her to Evansville. After en-
joying themselves hugely, tor sometime,
the young man was reclining on the so
ia, seemingly the happicst of the happy.
They were aroused by the tramping of
horse feet. In moment horse dashed
up to the gate tho rider dismounted,
and entered tho house, rs one carrying
authority. 1t was, indeed, the young la
dy's mother. She thought the young
sters were married and, as congratula-
ton is one of Americas rules of Ell
quette, the old lady felt bound to carry
out the rules of her country. Conse-
quently she gave the young man an over
handed congratulation, with an Orgon
stool, and was in the act Of giving him
second, when our hero took to his
heels, as he did not care to be SO init
mate with the one that was seeking to
destroy his future happiness, with the
kind old lady in full pursuit, and doubt
less would have overtaken our hero, had
it not been for kind-hearted little girl,
who stood on the piazza, and would yell
at the top Of her voice when the old lady
would make her appearance around the
corner of the house: e" Here she comes,
John"
The poor fellow would then get
around the house rs fast as his pedal ex-
tremities could carry him, and as he did
not have to take up any time in looking
back, he made his exit through the gate,
and straightway went he to the barn. A
puzzled look came over her face, which
caused the bystanders to laugh. She
charged them she put them all to fight,
save one little Bankie, who chose to give
her fight. She "routed him" she
secuted him, nor lost single man."
She then took her daughter, and went
home, leaving very warm feelings be-
hind.
Thus you see. plainly, Mr. Editor, that
our little town has been sadly misrepre-
scented. am sorry to inform you that
Uncle Hugh Finn has been quite unwell
with pain in his head. But is improv-
ing slowly.
l will write you again, when we have
