What Makes Petroleum?

Petroleum, says DR.. Geike, els
general term, under which is included
series of natural mineral oils. These
are fluid hydro-carbon compounds,
varying from a thin, colorless, waterv
llquldlty to black, Opaque, tar-Ike
visibility. The paler, more limpid var
ieties are generally called naptha; the
darker, more viscid kinds, mineral tar:
while the name petroleum, or rock oil.
has been generally applied to the inter
mediate kinds This same high an
thority on all matters geological saws
that it is specially confined to particu-
lar layers of rock, and he thinks it can
hardly be doubted that it is produced
by certain changes which take place
IN organic substances embedded in those
rocks. What is the probable nature of
those organisms, and how they are dis
tributed, has not in his opinion been sat-
isfactorily explained. The coal-seams
and bituminous shales seem to be the
formations which embody the substan-
ces yielding petroleum, but whether
these substances are the animals orfish
OF bygon ages, or their decayed ver-
etable matter, seems to be the subject
OF some difference of opinion What
ever the substances may be, however,
the alterations in them which produce
petroleum oils are, DIR. Geike thinks.
due to the action of igneous rocks,
which in a molten condition sometimes
invade coal-measures and bituminous
shales. The destruction of these gives
rise to subterraneous distilation, the
gases produced finding their way to the
surface OF the earth, and the liquids, in
the form of mineral oils, collecting in
assures and cavities and often bubbling
up IN springs just as water does

supposedto be making a detour and re-
turning south, having eluded Middle
ton. The general has left Fort Pitt
with his column, which he saws
he will divide and send one portion
west while he keeps to the east. With
Strange in the rear he hopes to sur
round the Bear and catch him. He
has sent word to Strange to divide his
force and watch the rear in order to
prevent Bear from going toward Peace

| 2O0Indians have left their reserve at Bat
tie river and gone to join Big Bear whom

closely in order that if they go to BIG

headquarters of the cholera at present.

GEN. GRANT is still suffering a great
deal but is largely due to his efforts to
complete his book. 1t seems probable
that he will live to accomplish thattas
as his work is very nearly DONE The
publishers have received orders for

GEN. GRANTS CONDITION.

Gen. Grant was taken by special train on
the 10th, from New York city to Mount
McGregor, which is in the Adirondack
mountains about II miles north of Sara
toga. The General is now entirely unable
to talk, and could only make motions
during the trip. He stood the journey as
well as could be expected but was much
fatigued. After it was over and DR. Doug
las had cleared his throat he family whis-
pered few words but they were hardly
articulate. A large and comfortable cot
tage owned by Joseph Drexel has been
placed at the generals disposal, and is oc-
cupied by himself and entire family who
accompany him. DR.. Douglas also has
apartments in the cottage. It is not prob
able that the general will ever leave his
present quarters alive. His condition
seems to be worse than has been made
public and the final end is apparently not
far distant.
Gen. Grants first day at Mt. McGregor
was not favorable one and indicated that
the end is rapidly approaching. He walked
several hundred yards, but it exhausted
him greatly. He attempted to talk several
times but was unable even to whisper in
tellegibly, and finally wrote two letters,
one to his family and one to DR.. Douglas.
They were in the nature of farewell direc-
tions. He is constantly growing weaker
and cannot long continue.

to present a united delegation from

The time used to be when editors
never set bad examples to the public
by having anything to do with libel
suits except to defend and win them.
Things seemed to have changed for
only last week the country was edited
by two suits for libel brought by editors
against brother knights of the quill.
One was the case Of William II. Skin
ner Of the Brookings D. T. Sentinel,
who brought libel suit against Geo.
". Popp, editor of the Bookings
County Press. The case produced much
local excitement but was a failure, as
the jury found for the defendant The
second was at Omaha, where Edward
Rosewater of the Bee sued the Republi-
can for calling him confederate spy
and traitor during the war. Rosewater
Jared a little better for he secured 800
damages, which he will probably claim
as a vindication. If editors keep on
with such precedents they may SO en-
courage the public as to secure big
crop of libel suits.
