AN OIL POND.
A Refuge for storm-Tossed Vessels In the
Gulf Of Mexico.

Refuge for Storm Tossed Vessels In the
Gulf Of Mexico.
A singular spot exists in the Gulf Of
Mexico, some ten miles to the south
ward ard westward of Sabine Pass, and
almost directly in the track of vessels
engaged in the. lumber trade between
Galveston and Calrasieu, La. 1t is
nothing more than large space, mile
or so in diameter, upon the surface of the
sea, which looks like all the rest of the
gulf during calm weather, but when the
winds freshen to gale and the waters
about it become agitated. takes on a
reddish color. and becomes thick and
muddy. The place has been called the
..oil pond" from the reason that, while
there may be q tremendous sea running
all around the place, within the circle
of surf, the water is comparatively
quiet. and vessels, which 9TH
erwise would be blown ashore or
swamped, can there ride out the heaviest
storms, and have done SO in hundreds
of instances. The water is about twelve
feet deep, and q pole can be pushed
twenty-five or thirty feet through the
soft and peculiar mud forming the bot
tom. This mud is different from any
thing on the coast-of soapy character
and Of remarkable cleansing properties,
being often used to clean the decks OF
| coasting vessels. The oil which renders
| the surface of the pond SO smooth is
supposed to come from the mud at the
bottom, and many think there are deposits
| ofpetroleum not far from the surface. |,
is said that the ''oil pond" when reach
ed during gale, is just as safe as
vessel being under the lee of wharf ir
any harbor.- Western Fo,Oman.

The republican party has been, from the
first party OF progress. 1t has always
struck out in advance-in the right direc-
ton. In all its movements, for more than
a quarter Of a century, it has never made a
mistake, and it has led and created public
opinion. But, while it has been radical and
earnest it has been prudent, sensible and
practical. The tendency of the party as to
the regulation. restriction and extinction of
the liquor traffic is now in the right direc-
tion. Its conduct is progressive and az
gressive, but it proposes nothing that can
not be done effectively. 1t is for the very
best laws that can be enforced. Avowment
of principles in advance of public sentiment
is one thing-snd proper thing-but the
enactment Of laws in advance of public sen
timent is an improper thing, as they bring
the laws and lawmakers into contempt.
