The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1901-06-08

Nearly 40 years ago, Paschai
Beverly Randolph, sage, philosopher
seer, and clairvogant, wrote a re-
markable book at st. Martinsyille,
entitled, ssAfter Death or the disem-
bodment of man." Among other
things the work contains the follow
ing allusion to the existence OF oil in
this section:
Substance is but one phase of uni
versal spirit. We see a lump OF
granite, and know that time and
attrition will wear it down to sand ;
sand will divide up until we have
| alluvial soil, out of which comes
vegetation, in various degrees Of re-
tinement, from the coarse crytogamla
to the most splendid flower and deli
cious fruit. Were it possible to be-
hold the procession of the Flora pass
before US in one glorious panorama,
we world behold gigantic ferns and
grasses, fiourishing in miraculous
] fertility of ages: heavy carbonace-
GUS plants, chemical laboratories OF
the first order, extracting the grosser
subtances from the air and elaborat-
ing oxygen to fill their places. Pre-
sently ages having elapsed they fall
and rot, making new soil and richer,
out of which comes a higher order OF
/ plants, chemical laboratories of the
second, producing still more marked
changes in the atmosphere and
climate. Presently, as the picture
unfolds, we behold orders, genera,
and species succeeding each other al
every tick of eternity's clock; finer.
fairer trees andiaewers now deck the
scene, and animal life now comes IN
as chemical laboratories of a still
niger order. For If vegetation alone
were adequate TO the preparation o.
the earth, air, and waters for the
abode of incarnate mind, there would
have been no need of animals, and
there being no demand, there would
have been no supply. But vegeta-
tion could not do it; nor could {
single species of animal do it; but
it required Millions Of species of diff.
ferently organized animals to prepare
the world for man to cook the ali
and cleanse it to purify the waters,
and render them tit for higher uses
just as it required a million varied
flora to throw down the noxious va.
pors, condense them into fibre, TO be-
converted by and by into coal bed
and petroleum lakes-just like the
mighty bay Of oil now underlying the
parish Of st. Martin, La, and which
branches off to Rapides, Vermilion.
