On one occasion there was a concert

The Old Liberty Bell.

The old bell which PHILADELPHIA has
sent to the New Orleans Exposition has
had a noteworthy history, apart from
the one great deed which gave it world
wide fame.
In 1851, the Pennsylvania Assembly
! "a Quaker eOnvOcation, under the rule
OF the Penns) authorized a committee to
buy bell for the State House. In the
letter sent by this committee to Robert
Charles OF London, ordering the bell,
are these words:
Let it be cast by the best workman
and examined carefully before it is shin
ped, with the following words. well.
shaped in large letters, around it. 'Bv
order Of the Assembly of the Province
OF pennsylvania for the State house in
the city OF Philadelphia, 1852. And nm.
deTneath, Proclaim liberty through All
the land unto all the inhabitants there |
OF. - '--e-S
As Philadelphia and the pro vince GOV |
erned by Penn was at that time literally
the only spot in the world where absolute
rehglous freedom prevailed, there was a
singular pertinenee and sionificance in
this inscription.
On tue arrival Of the bell it was hung.
and rung to try the sound, but. having
been badly cast, it cracked on the first
stroke OF the clapper. The good Ouak-
srs then resolved to re- cast it themselves
which they accordingly did in 1883.

A GREAT INDUSTRY.
dog.

The consumption of coal oil is constantly
quired to supply the daily demand in the
United States Most of this comes from the
oil regions of western Pennsylvania 1t is
conveyed to the seaboard-mainly to Balti-
more, Philadelphia and Jersey City-through
six-inch mains, three or four hundred miles
long, carried underground. Thirty million
barrels are now stored above ground in huge
iron tanks and over 60, ZOO barrels of crude oil
flow from the earth daily The oil is distilled
from tanks holding 1000 barrels each. The
distllate is divided into three portions-the
lghtest, colorless portion, which comes over
first, and is known as crude naphtha, or ''ben-
zine" the middle portion, or kerosene, I"
and, lastly, the heaviest portions
of the distilate, containing paraf-
fine, and known as "paraffine oils. /"
The "benzine' is again distilled and separated
into gasoline" and into A, and G naphtha;
these are used in gas machines, for mixing
paints, and also for burning in lamps and
stoves
The kerosene proper is purified by agitating
with 5 per cent. of strong sulphuric acid,
which combines with the offensive matters,
forming black tarry residue which sinks to
the bottom of the tank and is known as
'tsludge." 1t is used in large quantities in
the manufacture of commercial fertilizers.
The oil is again washed with syong caustic

THE fact is noted by sticklers for official
etiquette that but few diplomatic representa-
tives, recently appointed, have observed the re.
quirement that minister appointed to repre-
sent our government abroad should call before
his departure from Washington upon the
gentleman who represents the country to
which he is going. AS the greater number of
these diplomates are Southern gentlemen of
the sold school, and learned their manners
long befo' the wah, they can hardly be sus-
pected of ignorance OF the rules of good breed
ing, and some other cause for the breach of
courtesy must be assigned. Mr.. Kelley for
instance, probably had no time for calling on
the Austrian minister Had he delayed for
that fofmality the Office might have got away
from him

The Chronicle (Rep) says Mr.. Cleveland will
