The ••Oil Spot
’ In the (lulf of .Mexico—Tlie Mtis*
(liiltor’w KI > h I u in.
I .ifdi tenant Stamm, of the revenue
cutter Andrew Jackson, gave the
following description of the remark
able “oil spot" in the (Julf of Mexico,
about which there lias been much
discussion among scientists recent
ly.
‘ “The oil spot is situated about ten
miles south of Sabine Pass into
which Hows the Sabine river to the
Gulf of Mexico, and it extends two
miles along shore and seaward
about three quarters of a mile.
“There is nothing remarkable
about its appearance during calm
weather, hut in a gale, when riled, it
assumes a reddish hue and is thick
and muddy. The greatest depth
where comparative quietude reigns
while the elements are at war is
twelve feet, so none but vessels of
moderate draught can enter. 1 have’
with very little 1 effort from one ot
the ship’s boats pushed a pole thirty
feet in length down into the soft
stratum.
A storm from the northeast by
way of east to southeast has a rake
of from three to seven hudred miles
across the gulf of Mexico into this
mystic haven. During a gale the
spot is wonderfully defined. Look
ing seaward the scene is grand. An
acre of towering foam marks the
abrupt disolution of the lashing seas
as they thunder toward the shore.
This occur in about three fathoms
or eighteen feet of water, from
which the storm-driven craft, creak
ing and straining in every tim
ber emerges and suddenly finds
itself reposing like a child in its
mother’s arms, hemmed in by a
wall of wrath where the weary
mariner can be lulled to rest by the
roar of the winds.
“I have frequently seen the decks
of the vessel scrubbed with mud
from this spot. It is soapy and-its
cleansing powers remarkable. There
are no streams in the locality empty
ing into the gulf, and mud of the
the Sabine river to the northward
contains none of the properties here
found. If there is oil, it comes
from the bottom surface. The place
is termed the Soil spot,’ not from
any known analysis qf its nature,
but simply from its condition; it has
no troubled water. During three-
fourths of the year the neighbor
hood of the ‘oil spot’ is the Olympus
of the mosquito.”

THE ATIjAXT.V CUSTOM HOUSE.
Till! Treasury Department HefuNes to Accept till'
ltonil of tlie Central lUilroml.
When the Central Railroad gave
requslte bond for the delivery of
goods at the Atlanta custom
house, it was thought that the last
obstacle to the appearance of that
city of a full-fledged port of entry
had been removed. Another and all
unexpected trouble however lias
arisen. The secretary of the treas
ury has refused to accept the bond
of the Central Railroad for the
transfere of goods from Havannuh
to Atlanta. There is no objection
to the bond itself and the action of
the secretary is based upon mere
technical grounds. The bulk of the
goods imported by Atlanta mer
chants conic first to New York.
There they are transferred to the
Ocean Steapiship company, which
is under bond. The secretary claims
that the rulings of the department
are against the acceptance of bonds
for a second relading. The govern
ment has bonds from the trans-At
lantic steamers and from the coast
steamers to .Savannah, it does not
want to bond a railroad in addition
to these for the delivery of Atlanta
goods. Collector Pledger says this
ruling of the treasurer has shut off
goods from coming direct to Atlan
ta for the present, but he thinks the
difficulty will be obviated before
long. His plan is for the Ocean
Steamship company to give bond
for the delivery of goods in Atlanta.
Then it can take them in New York
and bring them to Savannah and
on to Atlanta over the Central road,
which is run in connection with the
steamship company. The collector
says that the foreign bills of lading
are sent direct to him for all Atlan
ta’s goods.

Atlanta Constitution.
The public of Atlanta remember
the conviction, some two years ago,
of C. J. Barton, a young lawyer of
this city, of the crime of perjury.
Since the affirmation of his convic
tion by the Supreme Court he has
been serving his time as a convict
upon the works of the Marietta and
North Georgia railroad. Strong
sympathy has been felt for him and
his patient and devoted young wife
by many of our citizens. During
the administration of Governor
Stephens an influential appeal-was
made for Barton’s pardon. Gover
nor Stephens intimated his disposi
tion to grant the petition, but de
cided that one.of the conditions pre
cedent to such clemency must be
the reimbursement of Captain W.
A. Fuller, Barton’s bondsman, for
the expenses incurred in his capture
and return here for trial. This
money Barton nor his friends could
raise and therefore all hope of
securing a pardon from Governor
Stephens was abandoned.
Now counsel and friends of Bar
ton have renewed their application
for his pardon to Governor McDan
iel and they base their plea upon
itlie fact that Barton’s conviction
.was almost wholly the result of the
testimony given on the trial by Mr.
Joel S. Nall, the then assistant post
master of Atlanta. They urge that
since that time Mr. Nall has been
indicted for the embezzlement
of public funds toil large amount,
and that the developments in his
case show that at the time* when he
testified against Barton he was a
defaulter, though that fact was un
known and wholly unsuspected.
They say that then high and unim
peachable reputation of Mr. Nall
for integrity carried great weight
with the jury, and that, had the
facts now before the public affect
ing him*been then known, his testi
mony would have gone for little,
and "in all probability Barton would
not have been convicted. Analogiz
ing the present status of the affair
with the question of reasonable
doubts applicable upon the trial of
a criminal charge, the petitioners
believe the Governor should pardon
Dlirtou fit once. The Governor has
the matter under advisement and
intimated no time when ho will
decisively act upon It,

A. L. Babcock, of A. L. Babcock

Dublin, (Oft.,) Post.
We learn that a man named Hal
stead, living in the vicinity of Mt.
Vernon, went into the woods to
chop down a tree last Tuesday a
week ago. lie was accompanied
by his little four-year-old son, whom
he placed under a neighboring tree,
out of reach (as he supposed) of
danger, lie could see the little fel
low plainly from where lie was at
work, and every few minutes
would glance in that direction to
make sure that all was well. When
the tree was almost down and the
father stood resting for a few min
utes before delivering the final
strokes he heard his boy exclaim:
“ITirtie ’ittle burdie; O, purtie ’ittle
burdie!” Impelled by some myste
rious motive the father determined
to take a look at the “’ittle burdie”
himself, and leaving his work but
not his ax behind he walked over to
the tree where his offspring sat.
There within three feet of the en
thusiastic little chap he found a
huge moccasin snake, with its head
erect, acting in the role of “burdie”
before an admiring audience of one.
Telling the boy to run he advanced
upon the reptile stealthily and chop
ped it in twain before the conclu
sion of the first act, which ended tin 1
performance and the moccasin’s
future personation of the character
“burdie.” The snake was about four
feet in length and proportionately
thick. Whether it meant to bite
the child or not is doubtful, but cer
tainly no father would have fancied
the experiment.
Tarring n Hat.
Cliumbc/s Journal.
Rats are wonderfully clean ani
mals, and they dislike tar more,
perhaps, than anything else, for if it
once gets on their jackets they find
it most difficult to remove it. Now,
I have heard it mentioned that pour
ing tar down at the entrance of
their holes was a good remedy, also
placing broken pieces of glass by
their holes was another good reme
dy. But these remedies are not ef
fective. The rats may leave their
old holes and make fresh ones in
other parts of the house; they don’t,
however, leave the premises for
good. I thought [ would try another
experiment—one I had not heard
of before. One evening 1 seta large
wire-cage rat-trap, attaching inside
a most seductive piece of strongly
smelling cheese, und next morning
I found, to my satisfaction, that I
had succeeded in trapping a very
large rat, one of the largest I had
ever seen, which, after I had be
smeared with tar, 1 let loose into
his favorite run. The next night 1
tried again and succeeded in trap
ping another equally big fellow, and
served him in the same manner. I
could not follow these tur besmear
ed rats into their numerous runs, to
see what would happen; but it 1s
reasonable to assume, they'either
summoned together all the mem
bers of their community, and by
their crestfallen appearance gave
their comrades silent indications ot
the misfortune which hud so sudden
ly befallen them; or that they fright
ened their brethren away, for tjiey

Guiteau’s bullet found
with his house on his hands
at first resolved to sell it outright,
but the social ambition of his wife
opposed the sale. She thought it
would look as if they were hit too
hard with disappointment if they
should give up the house about
which so much has been said and
written so soon after his retirement
from the cabinet. Blaine went into
the new house. The family soon
found that it was too prominent and
too large. They were overwhelmed
with visitors from all parts of the
world. The family had no offi
cial engagements to protect their
privacy. Nine servants were re
quired, and they were too much for
even Mrs. Blaine, who has a very
sharp temper and a positive will of
her own. Mrs. Blaine, when spring
came, said she was tired of keeping
a hotel. If her husband had had
some official position to sustain, the
social prestige might compensate
her. She said to Mr. Blaine that
she was tired of the whole thing. It
was an elephant. The game was
not worth the candle. Their family
was small, and there was no reason
why she should work like a galley-
slave to keep the hotel and servants
in order to sustain a merely private
position. Everything in a social
life in Washington runs after the
people in power. While Blaine
ranked as a worthy citizen and a
member of the best society none of
the society leaders ran after him.
The great house did not make up to
the Blaines the loss of their official
position. This was another disap
pointing element to Mrs. Blaine in
the new house. When he went
away this summer Mrs. Blaine had
resolved to give up the house abso
lutely. Mr. Blaine, who is hard at
work on his book, and is consequent
ly ready to do anything for a quiet
life, consented readily enough. Then
the shrewd speculator left his books
long enough to rent his place to
Leiter, the Chicago millionaire.
Leiter who is a Democrat, it is said,
hopes to secure a place in the Cabi
net of the next Democratic admin
istration. His wife is also very am
bitious. The Leiters are going to
do what is called “the social act,”
and as he has $20,000,000 to do it
with lie was a good customer for
Blaine. The latter has rented his
house tor $11,000 and the payment
of taxes. This is a good percentage
upon the original investment. Fur

city for its pipes and fixtures, and
the permission of tin 1 city was not
required to enable the company to
exercise its franchises, and any or
dinance interfering with or deny
ing the exercise of a right thus
granted by the Legislature has been
held void.”
There was another point in this
Atlanta case that is worthy of no
tice. Assuming that a town has ex
clusive jurisdiction over its streets,
if it permits a company in the ex
ercise of its rights to make a large
outlay without protest it is estop
ped from interposing objections
which would cause a loss to the
company of the money already ex
pended, provided the objections are
such as could have been interposed
in the beginning. With regard to
this point the court said:
“The city of Atlanta having stood
by and seen the company make an
outlay of $140,900 in the exercise of
its rights under this charter, with
out intimating to it that the objec
tion would be made to the use of
the streets for the purposes author
ized, without the use of which its
enterprises would not have been un
dertaken, and could not be prosecu
ted, and it would lose its entire out
lay and be ruined, such a city would
now be estopped from refusing to
allow the laying of the pipes.”
The decision is important because,
in the near future, it may be desir
able to disturb the soil of the
streets of a number of towns of the
State for the purpose of laying gas
and other pipes.
IVliy People IMiysir.
A Decision Respecting the I'm 1 of Streets.
Hu van null News.
Our Supreme Court rendered a
decision last week in which every
incorporated town in the State is
interested. The decision relates to
the power of municipal authorities
over streets and lanes of a town or
city. The impression seems to have
prevailed that the incorporated
towns of the State have exclusive
jurisdiction over their streets. This
impression is incorrect. The decis
ion above referred to was rendered
in a case where Atlanta sued out an
injunction to restrain the Gate City
Gas Light Company from digging
up the streets of that city for the
purpose of laying its gas pipes. The
decision was in favor of the Gas
Light Company. In the course of its
opinion the court said:
“Municipal corporations are cre
ated by the General Assembly and
may be destroyed by them. No rights
are vested in such corporations as
against the State. They can exercise
no other powers than those confer
red by the acts creating them;
they are subordinate agencies to as
sist in the government of the State.
Over their streets, lanes and alleys
it would seem that the State,
through its Legislature, has as much
power and control as it 1ms over
other public highways, which it
may change, alter or abolish at will.”
According to this the State,|through
the Legislature, hus jurisdiction
over the streets of the towns within
its limits. A company, therefore,
which obtains a charter from the
Legislature, for any purpose which
requires that the soil of the streets
of any town shall be disturbed can
proceed with its work without get
ting the consent of the authorities.
The court, in its opinion on this
point, held that “the Legislature
could authorize a gas company
chartered by it in 1S7’> to use the
streets of an incorporated town or
British quarterly Review.
It is to bo feared that to most peo
pie medicine is not an erudite sci
ence or a learned art, but is little
more than the commonplace admin
istration of physic. They cannot
understand medicine without drugs,
and Its virtue and power are popu
larly measured by the violence of
its operations. Its very name is in
ordinary parlence synonymous with
physic. Take from it its pills and
portions and for them you take
away its whole art and mystery.
They do not believe in a scheme of
treatment, however deep-laid and
skillful, which does not include a
statutory dosage. Mo that as a rule,
medical men are practically com
pelled to give their patients a visible
object of faith in some form of physic
which may be at most designed
to effect some very subordinate pur
pose. And it is remarkable how
strongly, even among the educated
classes, this feeling prevails. Cure
by the administration of mixtures
and bolusts is so fixed and ancient
a tradition that it is only very slow
ly that the world will give it up.
The anxiety of tho friends of the
patient wants to do more than fol
low the simple directions of “nurs
ing,” which have been so carefully
inculcated and posesses apparently
so little remedial power. There is
nothing of the unknown about them
in which a fluttering hope of great
advantage can nestle. Thus it is
necessary tq educate the world into
a belief in medicine apart from
drugs, which finds its power of cur
ing in adaptions of the common con
ditions of life and applications of
physiological facts—a medicine
which takes into its hands the whole
life, and orders and fashions its
every detail with scientific definite
ness. it is found in every day
practice that this popular misunder
standing of the modern spirit of
medicine constantly checks the lit
tle tentative advances of a more
scientific treatment, and it is neces
sary that it should be generally un
derstood how powerfully tin 1 vari
ous processes of the economy may
be affected by the manipulation of
the conditions of common life.

A Uelicl Postage Stamp In the Mails.
Special to the Times.
Richmond, October 10.—A letter
on which a Confederate two-cent
stamp was affixed passed through
tho mails here to-day without being
detected by post-office authorities.
The stamp bears some resemblance
to the now one of the same denomi
nation just issued by the govern
ment, in color and style of work

proper precautions are observed old
rebel stamps will be revived and
put into active use.
A Single Savage Shuns more Politeness than u
Car l.outl of Michiganders.
A Petoskey Michigan, paper gives
the following account of how a train
ful of “pale faces” were ignomin-

of the Indian race: The other day
the Harbor Springs train was com
ing over to Petoskey. Every seat
except one was occupied by a Har
bor Spring man, and that one was
filled by a copper-colored up shore
savage. At Bay View a lady, with
a little girl, evidently in bad health,
entered the car and passed through,
but no white man offered a seat or
moved an inch. After standing a
few moments, clinging to the back
of a seat, our up-shore Indian rose,
and in broken French offered the
lady and child a seat.
Challenged by a Colon'll Mail.
Richmond, October 14.—The first
challenge to mortal combat 011 the
field of honor between a white man
and a colored man was made public
here to-day. On Monday night
Wm. Flannagan, a candidate for
the Virginia Legislature from
Chesterfield, knocked a colored man
from the platform by a heavy blow
with his fist, striking him on the
nose. The following day Flanna
gan was called home by a telegram
from his wife, in Powhatan county,
and on rea’ching home found a
challenge by telegraph to mortal
oonlbat, from the colored man he
had assaulted. Flannagan holds
the challenge, and the law officers
will hold the bruised man if they
can catch him.

Tho telephone in Columbus was
connected with tho residence of
Mr. Harrell, where there were sev
eral ladies, who had the pleasure
of talking with Macon, one hun
dred miles away. Eyory word was
clear and distinct, and even the Co

calling the people .over there to
