The News and Courier, editorially,
to morrow will piaise very warmly
the appointment ol Colonel Tren-
bolm as civil service c mmlssioner,
saying:
‘‘C'lonel Trenholm unites many
qualifications which are rarely found
in combination in tbe same person.
He possesses solid acquirements and
la'ge information, and has ofien

tact in dealing with difficult and
complicated questions.
"A Charleston merchant by inher
itance and in practice, be will not be
regarded as a mere theorist, while
the prominence he has acquired by
his discussion t f divers puolic ques

In conclusion the News ami

Ac American missionary was la-

found himself nonplussed when tha
listener retorted: "You thii k you
know everylhing. Tell me, then,
wby you wear those two superfluous
buttons on tne back of your coal?”
Though those buttons have now out-
lived their usefulneis, they must
have been sewed on at first with a
purpose. The two buttons are gen

into three portions : The first is tins
lightest, colorless portion, nearly a.r
volatile as ether, and ie cadet! orutht
naphtha, or "beizlue.” Like the

may be distilled aud divided into,

portions. Such oils as are called the
educts of petroleum. The heaviest
portions of the distillate contain
paraffine oils. They also are mainly
educts of the original oi’-; they, how
ever contain a much larger propor
tion than the kerosene of the pro
ducts of the oil. A tarry residue re«
