It has long been asserted that the product
of tho wells of the Caspian Sea oil fields
would soon destroy the foreign market for
American petroleum. But the destruction
has not come yet and each fresh batch of
figures only shows that the realization Of
that fear is again postponed. 1t appears,
for example, that during the eleven months
ending with November the total value of
mineral oils exports from tho United States
was $4S, ,29S, ,o05, against $4S, ,997, $50 in the
corresponding period of 1883, an increase of
about 10 per cent, while the gain in the
quantity exported was 97,o00, 900 gallons, or
about 10 per cent. That certainly does not
look much like destroying our petroleum
market abroad.
The city election at Jackson, Mississippi,
the other day resulted in Democratic VIC
tory. A correspondent of General James R.
was in jackson, Mississippi, on last Nom
day, and witnessed scene that If the heads
of the departments Of Washington could
have seen, don't think they would retain a
Democrat in Office in that State. Henry
Wasel was elected mayor by the use of Win
chester rifles. They held the election in the
Edwards House, in what they called the
sample room. Just about where the voters
had to enter at the windows were the
s'swamp angels, !" az they were labeled and
called themselves, with rifles In hand, ready,
willing and anxious to shoot the first negro
who insisted on voting, and I can truthfully
say that every Democrat in Office in the
State thinks 1t right. Some of them have
80 expressed themselves to me. Under the
civil service I am bound to hold my tongue
or they might remove me. think it a
shame to keep men in Office who think it
right to disfranchise men with Winchester
rifles because they see fit to vote as they
think best.
The prince of Naples, the future king OF
Italy, If that country is destined to have
another king, is described as q silent, cold
and stoical young man, over burdened by q
scientific and philosophical education. he
is, moreover, hard-working soldier. he
| never smiles and salutss rarely. It Ia need.
less to say that he is not popular. It may
be that he is simply undertaking to ape vor
Moltks. Two stories are already told of him
which are supposed to give an indication oi
his character. When he was about 12 years
old he had somewhat violent quarrel with
his cousins and other children belonging to
the court. "You are lucky" said the
youngster to them, white with rage, "that
am not yet king. If was would have the
heads Of everyone of you." When he was II
years old he was present at some experiments
with dynamite cartridges. One Of the cart
ridges exploded, bespattered him with mud
and wounded him slightly. An officer be
side him was seriously hurt. The prince
never budged and never moved muscle
while the officers around him stood aghast
"What is the matter, gentlemen" said he, IL
scolding tone. ''The explosion of cart
ridgel That happens every day. Two me,
wounded! That is just what cartridges arr
made for. Let us help our comrads withou
any useless emotion!" And he aided in lift
ing the wounded officer into carriage befor
he would permit anyone to see his ow,
wound.
