The Petroleum Ficlds Of RUSSIA.

The owners of American petroleum
deposits will before long, have to en-
counter a considerable amount Of oppo-
sition in view of the discoveries of this
valuable oil on the continent, and es-
pecially in Hanover and Russia, The
beds in the latter country are compare
lively boundless extending for a dis
tance of 500 miles along the Caucasus
range, from the Caspian to the Black
Sea. AT the present time, however,
there are but two districts in this large
area where any systematic efforts are
being made to obtain the Petroleum,
one in the valley of the Kuban River
which flows into the Black Sea, where
two wells have been sunk by French
company under the superintendence Of
an American manager; this company has
a refinery at Tama. The other aud
most productive district is near Baku on
the Caspian Sea. Many wells have been
sunk here to the depth of 500 feet, hav-
ing daily yield of $4,000 barrels of
crude petroleum. An extraordinary
amount of sand flows out with the oil,
and is heaped up near the orifee Of the
wells in banks at least 80 feet high.
Large refineries exist at Baku, though
the refined oil at present introduced
there is not as good as American OIL

A Winner Who Lost.

A correspondent writing from Pol
locksville, N. O., to the Cincinnati En-
qlirer, under recent date, says: A novel
wedding occurred here to-day, 1t seems
that Moses John Miller and Alexander
Bibb, two well-to do young farmers, were
in love with the same lady, Leonora
Lloyd, a beautiful girl of this place.
She was not able to decide as to which
she liked best. Sunday morning Bibb
walked home from church with her and
left under the impression that she said
she would marry him. Last night lover
No. Miller-went to see her and un-
derstood her to say she would marry
him.
Both men this morning went to the
Courthouse to get out marriage
license, and there met, each one armed
with the necessary documents, and each
left with license to marry Miss Lloyd.
They met at TIE Court-house door, and
finally after some talk they agreed that
the first man who reached the lady'H
house should marry her The residence
of Colonel Lloyd, the lady's father, was
one mile distant, and both men started
on the race for the bride Bibb so in left
lH6 ululn IUhQ dii0 utItcu llAlO AllC MOOuct
expecting to make short cut and reach
the house before his rival, but Miller
kept the road, and got in on the home
stretch eight minutes before his rival
Both men were in sight Of each other go
ing up the lane to the house, and BibbS
efforts to oyertake his rival were almost
superhuman.
When they reached the house Bibb
from sheer exhaustion tainted in the
porch, falling almost at the feet of his
lady-loYe. When the matter was stated
to her, she said that she had come to the
conclusion that she liked Mr.. Bibb the
best, and therefore she would marry him
Her sympathies were won over By see
ing him faint. She said that she be.
lieved both loved her, but that he who
faints at the danger of losing bride
must love her more than he who is COO
and unconcerned in the midst Of it all
The affair causes intense excitement In
this small place. Tonight Rev. AareE
Jasper, the we'll known Baptist minister
married Bibb and Miss Lloyd.

Earthquakes and GraYitation.

The Eureka (Nev.) Leader relates
miners experiences, showing that earth
quake shocks are not felt very far below
the surface of the ground. This miner
said that on the occasion of the last
shake at Secret Canon he was at work
in mine ON Prospect Mountain, and,
although the tremor was plainly felt by
his partners ON the surface, he, at the
depth of eighty feet, noticed nothing
unusual. He also said that through an
experience of fifteenyears under ground,
he had observed one very peculiar fact
that between the hours Of. twelve and
two o clock at night if there was a
loose stone or bit of earth in the mine it
was sure to fall. Said he: About this
time it seems that everything begins to
stir, and Immediately after twelve al
though the mine has been as still as the
tomb before, you will hear little par
ticles of rock and earth come tumbling
down, and If there is a caviDg piece Of
ground in the mine it is sure 70 give

The farmer who lets all the liquids
of his barnyard run to waste is spend
thrift, however "close listed" he may be
with money. A practical farmer said
recently: "On my farm on the Hudson
rever, have built cisterns under the
barn and stables. in which this liquid is
collected. These eisterns are all con-
nected, and one being built on lower
grade, they all empty into this one.
When it rains | put force-pump into
the cistern, and fill two water carts, such
as are used in watering our streets, and
scatter this liquid over my meadows /;
in forty-eight hours afterwards change
is perceived in the color of the grass"
Another farmer who has similar ar
rangment in his barnyard says he saves
100 loads every year. and thinks the
liquid worth as much as so many loads
of solid manure-Erchange.
