Blue Jay Oil Field.

From this mornings Derrick we get
the following notes concerning opera
tions at Blue jay:
Conley's we'll, one-half mile north
west of the Darling wells, was duster
of the first order. The we'll defines the
Darling pool on the north and east.
The two Darling wells are doing
thirteen barrels per diem, together.
These wells started at forty-fiye and
fifteen barrels respectively.
Kerberger q Co., have rig ready
to drill one-fourth of a mile south Of
the Darling.
The old Blue Jay wells are flowing
about four barrels together. Rods
will be again introduced and they will
be pumped, with hopes Of $1.50 crude
in the near future.
Rods will be put into the Fox &
Reed well to-day. This we'll was fin
ished last June, and was dry in the
Blue Jay sand, but had small show
of crude in the Darling sand, in which
sand it was shot last August. 1t
filled up slowly and did not have
sufficient gas to cause it to flow. Since
then it has boiled over several times.
The ownels expect fair pumper.
Paine 81 Co., are building a rig
three. quarters of mile soath OF the
old Blue Jay, aud expect to bounce
the drill soon.
A very important test for this dis
trict was finished last week on the
northwest corner of lot Al, one mile
southeast Of Blua Jay, owned by
Falkner g. Co. They found ffty-five
feet of sand with slight showing OF
oil in the sand pumpings. The Blue
jag sand was very close and hard
Forty feet of the sand was of a brown
ish color resembling the Bradford sand
This we'll cuts off ali hopes of an ex-
tension south and east. The owners
will probably shoot this we'll heavy TO
make it a thorough test. 1t has a
good head Of gas.
Dimmiek a. Co., on the northeast
corner of warrq 2,S78, are down over
600 feet and ut DOVE. They viii

Ohio, in the senate of the United States.
and possibly their political careers, expired
on the fourth of March, and a correspond
ent relates an interesting incident tending
to show that radical differences in political
life do not impair the most friendly personal
relations. While awaiting the inaugural
ceremonies, Mr.. Hamlin and Mr.. Thurman
seemed to be comparing notes, and later in
the day, when the old senate was declared
adjourned Hamlin turned with clear ex-
preston on his face and shook hands, first
with Thurman and then with Blaine. It is
well known that Thurman and Hamlin are
warm friends, and very touching incident
of their acquaintance has bearing on that
quiet handshake. The night before Ham
lin was in the midst of letter to his son,
In which he was reviewing his long service
In the senate, when Thurman came in and
Hamlin explained what he was doing.
Thurman asked the privilege of finishing
the letter. He was allowed to do 80, and
filed the page with warm eulogy of the
man he had known and respected for thir-
ty-five years. The hand shake meant that
the long acquaintance was practically at an
end, and that. Hannibal Hamlin was glad to
be relieved of the care and responsibility
incident to public life.

The Egyptian obelisk, lately set up in
Central park, New York, is all one stone a
monolith. 1t was first erected $500 years
ago at Heliopolis, few miles from Cairo,
Egypt, and under its shadow, says Secre-
tary Evarts, Moses learned the wisdom of
the Egyptians. After the Romans con-
quered Egypt, it was taken from Heliopolis
and set up in front of a palace at Alexan-
dria, to celebrate the glory of the Caesars,
where it kept its place until removed to
America. The money needed for the pur-
pose vas supplied by W. H. Vanderbilt.
The marvellous task was accomplished by
Commander Gorringe, of the United
States navy. Commander Gorringe brought
the stone over for $10O,00O To move the
French obelisk to Paris cost King Louis
Philipe $500, 900.

The Extra Session Of the Senate.
SATITRDAv MARCH =

SENATE-Upon calling the senate to order at
noon Vice President Arthur was vigorously ap-
plauded by the gallaries. At subsequent pc
riod, the applause being renewed, the vice presi-
dent instructed the sargeant-at-arms to see that
order was maintained.
Nj. Hoar offered resolution extending to
Gen. Winfield s. Hancock the privilege of the
floor during his stay in Washington. Adopted
UNANIMOUSLY
Mr.. Blaine, in accordance with notice given
by him some weeks ago, submitted the follow
ing resolution which was laid on the table.
Resolved, That a special committee of five
senators be appointed by the chair to take into
consideration the mode of voting for president
and vice president of the United States, and the
mode of counting and certifying to the
same; who shall report such propositions
for change in the laws and con-
stitution as may seem expedient; that said
committee have power to sit during the recess
of congress, and that they be directed to report
on or before the second Wednesday in January,
1882. A communication was received from
the president containing the cabinet nomina-
ions. The senate went into executive session,
and after some debate in regard to the usual
reference to committees, which was not ad-
ressed at any time to the merits of the nomina-
tons, they were separately confirmed without
reference and without roll-can or dissent
ing vote in any instance.

The New York Herald claims the honor
of accurately forecastlng the weather of the
entire winter as early as the middle of last
November. An editorial, entitled "premo-
nitions of a cold winter, closes with the
words, "In view of these meteorological
data it would appear highly probable now
that the coming winter is to be one of ex-
ceptional cold" adding, at will be well for
all classes to forearm themselves against a
severe season." After the blizzard of the
middle of October, and the subsequent
cold weather, great many people arrived
at the same conclusions, but the Herald g
were based upon series of elaborate
scientific observations, running back for
several months, while others were merely
guess work. The Heralds probabilities" ="
have long been considered more accurate
than even the signal service predictions.
