The Scientific American says
Great efforts have been made of late
TO bring about the fulfllment of Pro-
fessor StilIman's prediction that CAL
ifornia would ultimately be the largest
oil producing country in the world.
The oil region consists of section of
coast range mountains covering 2OO.-
600 acres, and extending from Santa
Cruz to Santa Barbsrs, q distance of
$50 miles. During the past four years
the Pacific Coast Oil Company have
got control of the most of this terrific
ry under long leases, and within the
past year they have sunk wells which
yield good results, built pumping
works and refineries, laid down pipe
lines, and established factories for the
production of casks and barrels. They
have now about score of wells, and
hope soon to be able to supply not
only the markets of Nevada, Califor-
mia and Oregon, which require $780,
600 gallons yearly, but Japan, China,
Java, Australia and Mexico, which
require perhaps ten timesas much oil.

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3rd, Il

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3rd, 1880.
Our city shows signs of awakening
and its thronged streets evidence the
recess we sleep, or assume that passive
state, which characterizes a rural col
lege town in vacation. But on the
eve of the convening of Congress all
this inactivity disappears and new
order of things rules us. Strangers by
the hundreds take their wonted places
in our promenades and hotels, busi-
ness revives everywhere and each and
every artery of trade throbs with
quickened energy that indicates that
Washington City is not as dead as it
seemeth during the months of adjourn
ment. Fully one-half of the Senators
aud Members have arrived and their
familiar faces are to be seen on Penn
sylvania Avenue and in the Depart
ments. The Third House" or the
lobby, also shows itself in the "giner-
ais" the "kurnels," and the ''majahs'
who crowd the offices of our hotels,
apparently on the scent of the plunder
promised in certain bills now maturing
The Capitol has been thoroughly
renovated in SO far as paint, furnishing
and the upholsterer can add to its in
ternal appearance. Fewer radical
changes of desks and rooms have been
made during this recess than usual, yet
there is a brightness given to the many
dark spots caused by long winter ses-
sions, that is really refreshing to note.
We have every indication before us Of
an exciting Congressional winter,
though none of the perturbations char
acterizing December 1876 appear. The
concession of Garfield's election has
removed the fears. doubts and uncer-
tsinties as to the President-elect, un-
der which Convened in that year, and
on that score we may write :" all quiet
along the Potomac" This winter here
will undoubtedly prove to be the gayest
of the decade. Every preparation is
being made in all political and social
circles to render the attractions of the
Capital greater and grander than ever
in the past.

hob Ineer.oII'. Hope for the south

bob IngersoII's Hope for the South
New YORK, November 2O.-Nobody
enjoys shocking people better than
Bob Ingersoll, and many good folks
will undoubtedly be shocked when
they hear what the great free thinker
considers the most hopeful element In
the Southern situation to-day. 1t is
nothing more nor less than the growth
OF infidelity! He reasons somewhat
in this way: "The church was the
great drawback to the progress of civ
iIIzation in the South. 1t taught the
doctrine that slavery was q divine in
stitution, and all the ministers have
preached it from the Bible. In a word
the church was the mainstay of bar
barism, and as long as it maintained
its hold upon the people there was lit
tie chance of civilization. But since
the war q spirit of free thought has
got abroad in the South, the old theo-
logical dogmas have lost their grip, and
q liberal era is at last setting in. For
generations Christianity, so-called,
was the bulwark of Bourbonism now
that there are getting to be good
many infidels, there is some chance
for freedom"
