Wonderful History Of Petroleum


II 10 Camden In N. American Review.
Few things in fiction are more
wonderful than the history of petro.
leum since the opening Of the first
oil well in Pennsylvania, August %.
1859. Four years before that time
Jonathan Watson. who owned a
tract of lan1 on Oh! Creek, noticed
OF! flowing from a spring. He took
a bottle of it to Hartford. Conn.,, to
have it analysed by a well-known
chemist. This authority pronounced
it An artificial product, and not a
natural one Had any person then
predicted that Northwestern Penn
sylvania and West Virginia would
be found to contain vast reservoirs of
this Oil, and that it would in q score

he would have been considered in
sane. Yet such a prediction would
have fallen short of the truth. There
are to-day more than 20, GOO wells
producing this oil, and over 100, 900
persons are exclusively engaged in
handling it. Railroads have been
built to transport it, while through q
network Of over 1000 miles of iron
pipes, running over mountains, be-
meath rivers, and through cultivated
fields, streams of it pulsate continu-
ally. Oil from the wells in Pennsyl-
vania lights the streets of South
American cities, cathedrals in Eu-
rope, the mosques of Asia, the shop
windows of Jerusalem; and it is
known and used owe the whole civ

beginning in 1862 with shipments
of 58S 900 gallons of oil to Germany,
which was sold for $1,000 less than
the cost of transportation across the
sea. the expectation of oil has steadily
increased until it now reaches but
little less than 1000, 600 gallons a day.
For the first seven months of 1882
he value of the exports of petroleum

A Eunter, last week, killed a noun

Teeth.

Not long ago an officer Of the army
who, having lost his upper teeth,
wore a false set, was engaged in seri-
Gus conversation with some Indians.
His plate troubling him, he took it
out and wiped it with his handker-
chief. The Indians watched the pro-
cess with unfeigned establishment.
When the captain, putting the plate
in his mouth, went on with the con-
v~ersation, they sprang to their feet
and left the room and post in all
haste, and with every symptom of
extreme terror.

TUE CABLE Dispatch that was
published the other morning, an
nouncing that the British chancel.
Ter Of the exchequer will consider
the question of permitting the grow
ing OF tobacco in the United King
don, was the first intimation that
most persons had in this coun
try that tobacco-raising was pro
hibited in Great Britain. The pro-
hibition has existed for over two CEN
turies. It was instituted to prevent
the use Of the weed, but of late years
has been maintained merely to OBJ
tain the large revenues from i'm
ported tobacco. The first enact
ment was made in 1852, and eight
years later, it was ordered that no
tobacco should be planted in Eng.
land under penalty at fine of 40
shiIlings for each rod of ground
covered. The magistrates also
were instructed to destroy any
growing tobacco they came across
AS late as 183Oa similar prohibition
was applied to Ireland. The gov
eminent is thus enabled to collect
q tax on every pound Of tobacco
consumed in the kingdom, and as
the almost universal habit is to
smoke, the receipts from this source
are enormous. The tax IS IS cents
pound on imported manufactured
tobacco, S1.32 a pound on cigars,
S1.16 on cavendish,or what is called
in this country NEGRO head" and
81 O4on other manufactured tobacco,
besides an excise on home manufac-
lures. Last year the revenue from
tobacco importations mounted to
$42,50O,0OO, or 1215 per cent. Of all
the customs receipts. There are
portions of England said to be ad-
mirably adapted to tobacco culture.

Now THE negro citizens of Hi
nois have called state convention
of their own to meet at Springfield
on October Is, for the object, as
stated in the call, "of securing our
political rights. One of the
rights" aimed at, and the most
important, is the actual holding of
Office. The republicans of Illinois,
like their political brethren else
where, think the negro a much
better voter than office-holder. The
blacks have been a long time in
learning the truth and arriving at
the facts. but they are showing evil
dences all over the country of get
ting their eyes open to the
true political situation with regard
to themselves. When they see
things as they exist, perhaps the
negroes will conclude that they can
get along better by being indepen-
dent and doing their own thinking.

THE MICHIGAN legislature pro-
poses a new plan for combating
intemparence. It has enacted that
no certificate shall be granted any
person 10 teach in the schools of the
state Who shallnot pass a satisfac-
tory examination after September /,
1884, in physiology and hygiene,
with particular reference to the
effect of alcoholic drinks, stimulants
and narcotics upon the human sys-
TEN. The idea is that teachers
learned in the matter indicated, will
instruct the children and instill in
their minds such dread OF the evil
consequences of drink as to brighten
them from indulgence. The ex-
pertinent will be watched with in
terest.

THE TELEGRAM which appears
elsewhere in this issue of THE HER
AID announcing the expected ar
rival of a company Of pauper Swiss
Mormons is positively childish, es-
pecialIY as government is taking
steps to prevent the landing OF the
immigrants. Great Britain is dump
ing her pauper Irish onto our shores
By The hundreds, and has been do
iRg so for years. Not long ago we
published an account Of how an
Irish landlord emptied the poor
houses in the parish, and herded
the inmates to America, and during
the past three months, steamers
have been regularly plying between
Great Britain and Boston, bringing
over the most worthless class of
peverty-striaken men and women
that could be found in Ireland, the
English government paying the
passage money. These arrivals
have excited scarcely a protes t,
and willie the immigrants are notori-
ousEy paupers, 10 effort has been
made to prevent their landing.
Now, the coming Of a little handful
of poor Mormons eKcites the indig-
nation Of the republic, and causes
alarm at Washington. Perhaps
nine-tenths Of the European Nor
m0rs who come to this country are
poor IN Che broadcast sense, so far as
money goods and chattels are con-
cerned, but in no sense are
they paupers. They never have
been, and are not liable to
become charges upon the state
OF objects Of charity. If all
the immigrants from Europe were
as Industrious, thrifty, as hardwork-
ing, as money-making and money
saving as the MOrmOns who come
from abroad, the nation would never
have occasion to apply its laws
for the prevention of pauper
immigration, and the respective
states and territories would be
partially relieved from their heavy
burdens for the care Of the INDECENT.
The government will make no point
in attacking the Morm0ns on the
ground that they are importn
paupers.

KALAKAUA.

The King of the Cannibal Islands
is having high old time while it
lasts. His trip around the world,
so far from making him a better
monarch, has spoiled him alto
gether, and made him banker after
the iesh-pots of real nations with
all the zest that characterized his
progenitors in their pursuit of hui
man flesh to cook in such pots.
Kalakaua runs his little pocket
kingdom on scale Of extravaganza
absolutely ruinous. For instance.
at the last session Of his legislature
he forced appropriations that ex-
eeeded his possible revenues in the
sum of 100000. For every dollar
he raises by taxation he must raise
another by a loan. His salary was
increased to $50,OO0 per annum. In
addition to this he has $4,000
per annum for fhis Queen"
$4,000 for his "heir appa-
rent" $1,000 for his lord chamber
lain, and $4,000 for his household
expenses. One of his bills, amount
ing to S15. GOO, was paid. The col
ored lady related to him gets $4,000
per annum, and another one $1,000
per annum. His royal guard COSTS
$4,000 per annum. For police,
flags, bands, salutes, arms, soldiers,
assistant guards" and three Sheriffs
he was allowed $4,000. His prime
his minister of finance,
attorney general. minister of for
9ign affairs, and his chief justice
we're voted $4,000 apiece, and his
.Tditor general and two associate
Justices $4,000 each. His postmas-
er general only gets 5000. His
tour around the world" was paid
or to the extent of $22,50O. T Wentyi
judges, ten governors, and a legion
f minor tax eaters come in for
alaries ranging all the way from
1900 to $4,000 each. The
otal population, native and foreign,
J less than 10000, the latter
ygregating perhaps not more than
N per cent. of the total, and yet
early the entire revenue of the
land comes from them, so it may
'adiIy be imagined to what extent
ey are taxed to support this royal
,ppet show. Bankruptcy is the
Ltural sequence of such folly, and
hen that takes place perhaps the
st thing that could befall the
and would be for the United
ates to gently lay hold of and keep pr
The foreign residents there are e q,
