A "sweet by and by" lady friend
called at my place few days before
the late election and said:
Brother Bunder, we will hold a
meeting at the church tonight, to
pray for the success of prohibition
and the Republican party"
At eight O'Clock p. m. some three
hundred faithful Republican-prohl-
bitionists had collected together at
the church. A prominent christian
speaker had been imported from a
distance-hisy expenses, being paid
out of the. Republican campaign
fund. The meeting opened with
prayertoGod that the day might soon
dawn when the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquors shall be
no more. that each voter present be
encouraged and strengthened to
cast his ballet for the Republican
party, the champion of prohibition
that Benjamin Harrison, James &.
Blaine and Mr.. Morton, the great
christian captains leading the hosts
to victory, might be supplied with
infinite wisdom, to so conduct the
affairs of this great christian com.
monwealth, to the end that all may
bow to the will of God"
The prayer ended, an hour was
occupied by the speaker in urging
the congregation to hold up the
hands of the Republican leaders in
their fearful contest with the rum
power; after which all were re
quested to pray and exhort, holding
love feast for the purpose o.
refreshing the old soldiers, and al

1t is probable that when James Brewer
located the present city of White Sulphur
springs in 1867 he little dreamed of the
future resources that have since developed.
He found bubbling from mother earth a
series of warm springs charged heavily
with sulphur. The water was colored
white, and hence the present name of the
city, which was changed from
Brewers springs, the original name.

WHALING INDUSTRY.


+S0Ttn AAGlHC oC6Hns
Few people are aware OF the extent to
which the whaling business has grown in
this CITY in recent years. There are now
ninety-six American vessels engaged in the
whaling industry and of these thirty hail
from San Francisco. The only American
ports which send out whaling ships are New
Bedford, Edgartown or Martha's Vine
yard, Provincetown or Cape God, Boston,
New London, Stonineton and San Fran
cisco. OF these, New Bedford, OF course.
stand at the head of the list in point of
Importance, as it has now on the ocean
fifty ships engaged solely in hunting the
leviathan, says the San Francisco Chronicle,
The whaling industry has been carried on
here since 1850 or as soon as San Francisco
became large enough to act as a fitting out
point for the vessels. From the small be-
ginning of two or three little vessels the
fleet now consists of eight large steamers,
thirteen barks. three sbrigs and six schoon-
ers, having total tonnage of over 8 5000 tons.
These vessels employ an average of fifty
hands each or a total OF 1.200 men. These
men are of all nationalities but now chiefly
claim this city as their home.
From San Francisco halls the largest
American vessel engaged in the Whaling
business, the steamer Orca, of 462 tons
burden, whose commander is the WE'LL
known and successful whaieman, Captain
McGregor, and whose owner is Josiah N
Knowles.
1t is becoming n mooted question among
whalemen whether or not, for their pur-
poses, a steamer has much of an advan-
tage over a sailing vessel, as it has been
frequently noted that the whales have be-
come much more shy since steamers were
introduced in the business. Their hearing
is so acute that they can distinguish the
approach of a steamer from the noise of
its propeller and Immediately become
alarmed and swim off. Certain it is that
the sailing vessels bring home quite as
large If not larger catches than the steam
e,s.
A fair catch is from six to eight whales
to a ship. Last year the ships did not
average three whales each. Right whale
oil is now worth about 30 cents a gallon,
sperm 50 cents and whalebone about So a
Il pound. About as much if not more
money is made from the bone as from the
oil, as there are so many oils to take the
place of whale oil.
The principal owners of whaling vessels
which hail from this port are Josiah N.
knowles. Wright, Bovine u Co.. James Nc
kenna and j. A. Magee, Jr. These
gentlemen have all engaged successfully in
the business, amassing considerable for
tunes.

Oil ON TROUBLED WATERS.
Found Most Eficacious in Calming tho Sea

Found Most Efhcacious in Calming the Sea
During a storm.
New YORK, May 3O.-Experiments in the
use of oil at sea in stormy weather for
breaking the force of waves continue to be
made by the many sea captains, and there
are interesting reports of the results. In
deed, the frequency of the trials and the
invariable success attending them have
long since practically placed this expedieut
outside of experiment., and its value and
the desirability of its general adoption in a
systematic way have been well establish ed.
AT present various methods are employed,
the most common one being to put a guam
tity of oil in q canvas bag. The bug ia
hung over the ships bow and the oil drips
through on the water.
The steamship 0zama in a recent voyage
ran into very bad weather, and hove to
with u gale blowing and u high sea running
southwark. Oil was poured through the
port closet forward, and the sea became
quite smooth for fully fifty feet to wind
ward in the teeth of the gale. The ship
was brought around to her course without
taking Il single drop of water
aboard. nor did she roll or labor at all. The
use of oil through the ports on both sides
of the ship WAS continued for over four
hours. The German steamship Slavonia
used oil in heavy weather on two occasions
during a recent voyage. Oil bags were

head and one amidships to windward.
"Ihe effect was remarkable" says the
ships officer The bnrk Margaret Mitchell
ran into a hurricane off Cape Hatteras. A
tremendously heavy sea was running and
oil was used. with the usual good effect"
says the captain. The ship had a heavy
list to starboard and was making bad
weather of it. Two canvass baga stuffed
with oakum and filled with whale oil were
placed over the side.
1.-The effect was wonderful" the report
continues. THE seas could DO seen break
ing to Wlndward at the edge of the oil, and
heavy golfers would come toward the ship
and only occasionally break on board"
The brig CLYDE reported that ''oil proved
a great success. preventing the heavy bill
lows from breaking on board aa they did
before using IT." The captain of the brig
always has Il full supply of oil on board for
this purpose, anu has faith in its efficacy,
small quantity of oil used is a striking
feature; The Clyde only used in all about
two and a half gallons. II the Margaret
Mitchell used not over five gallons in
twenty-four hours.
