THE compliment paid to the Demo
cratic officers of the City Council by the
President of that body on Monday night,
was, neat aud handsome. 1t was well
deserved we are sure, or they would not
have received it from an opponent. Mr..
Lichtenstein's words on that occasion
were such as an honorable and high
toned opponent always takes pleasure in
speaking of those with whom he has
felt a pleasure to be associated. He
runs ahead of his ticket and we do not
believe Republican could have been
selected who would have taken larger
vote. Mr.. Lichtenstein retires from the
position of President of City Council
with the esteem of all of its members
No man ever presided over its delibera
tions with more grace and dignity, o.
with less impartiality. In his retire
ment he merits and will receive the goo,
wishes of our citizens of all parties, an,
among the rest those of the GAZETTE
for his future comfort and happiness.

A NUMBER of Democrats are heard
saying they did not vote. But these
careless people are largely exceeded by
Others In the Republican party. TO the
lattsr the Democrats may tender their
thanks and congratulations, since We
have right to infer they preferred an
economical administration Of the affairs
Of the Gig to an extravagant one; and
It 10 owing to this feature made apparent
in the last six months to which the
Democrats mainly owe their triumph Of
yesterday. ..
1.-THE Democrats elected TO the Council
yesterday and such as held over will bend
their energies to the work of retrench-
ment and give US real economical ad-
ministration during the next year, and
run the city upon its legitimate income
and source of revenue, saving whenever
It can; avoiding needless expense, and
reduce the tax rate to $l.10, they will
secure to their party another triumph
next year, and the thanks of all good
citizens. We don't know that this can
be done. But we know there is no harm
in trying to do it, and we hear numerous
persons saying it could be done with a
system of contracting for the public
work on the streets, the lamps, build
ing, &c.

the only Republican newspaper in Flori-

publicans in the State are looking up,

the Democrats with a fair prospect OF
success. He says Northern Intelligence
capital, and enterprise have we'll estab-
lished themselves, and are beginning TO
exercise controlling influence In public

as the bulldozers would find 1t an
Improbable task to dragon the people

who are perhaps the most liberal Of their
party in the South, he says, have de-
nounced every attempt ~ run elections

Florida has bright future, industrially

PETROLEUM FOR FUEL.

Eoka Central AsIa) Cor. London News. I |
Apart from the local use of petroleum
for lighting purposes, and its expectation
for similar use, comes its application |
to steam navigation. With the old.
fashioned boilers in use; with central
opening running longitndinally, no modi-
fcation is necessary for the application
of the new fuel. A reservoir containing
some hundred pounds weight of the refuse
(astalki) is furnished with small tube,
bearing another at its extremity few
inches long and at right angles with the
conduit. From this latter it trickles
slowly. Close by is the mouth of an
other tube, connected with the boiler.
A pan containing tow or wood saturated
with astalki is first introduced to heat
the water, and once the slightest steam
pressure is produced jet of vapor is
thrown upon the dropping bituminous
fluid, which is thus converted into spray.
A light is applied and then q roaring
-deluge of fire mandates the central
opening of the boiler. 1t is kind Of
self-acting blow-pipe. This volume Of
the fire can be controlled by one man by
means Of the two stol cocks as easily az
the flame in an ordinary gas jet. This
have repeatedly witnessed on board the
Caspian steamers. As regards the ex-
pense, give the following data on the
authority of merchant captain who has
used neptha fuel for years. His steamer
is Of $50 tons, and 120 horse-p power. He
burns thirty pood per hour OF astalki to
obtain speed of thirteen nautical miles
in the same time. One pood is about
thirty-three pounds, and costs on an
average from 5 to 6 pence. Thus &
twenty hours voyage at full speed fol
such vessel costs about f12. The fue
is as safe and occupies much less spac,
than the amount of coal necessary t,
produce a similar effect, not to speak o
the enormous difference in price and tn
saving of manual labor. Two engineer
and two stokers suffice for a steamer O
thousand tons burden. With the i'm
mense supply Of natural petroleum, a
yet only very slightly developed, and il
application to the already guarantee
railway from Ti6is to Baku, and TO tn
inevitable future ones beyond the Ca
plan over the plains of the far East,
think this subject is worthy of every a
tentiOn.

The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1879-05-29

When we consider, the lateness of the
season, the drought which extends over
the whole country, the late day at which
factories everywhere opened, the large
number of calves fed, thus reducing the
quantity Of milk taken at the factories,
and the general Improvement Of tone In
IN branches OF business, we must con-
clude that the season Of 1879 will be ~
good or perhaps better than its prede-
cessor.-Chagrip Falls Exponent.
HuDsoN, O., May 10th, 1879.
While but few dairies have been sold
from the farms In this vicinity recently,
the number Of cows purchased this
spring with which to ''stock up" we
think u less than ever before since we
commenced buying milk here. With .
larger number OF milk patrons than ever
before Ne received yesterday III, $50 lbs
Of milk against ls9, ,5s1 lbs. May 18th,
1873, and los, ,ssl lbs. May 18th, 1s77.
This dives . moro definite idea Of the
milk production OF this vicinity, this
sprins, than any general assertion we
could make, or opinion We could give.
In the lateness Of the growing season
and the unusally large number Of
calves being raised NAV, perhaps. be
found the chief causes Of less quantity
Of milk for manufacturing purposes
this spring than at same time In 1873.
