A Washington correspondent is authority for the fltetement that a Georgia gentleman called on President Arthur, the other day, to recommend a friend for an ofin that State. During tne conversation be remarked to the l>resident that the apnointment of colored men to office in the Erath did not help tbe BepnhHcan party m that section.

In its original state, petroleum has a murky green color, and it needs refining before it is fit for illuminating purposes. It is distilled in pans, with great furnaces blazing l>eneath them; and, as the vapors arise from the blazing liquid, they are conveyedinto pipes surrounded by water, in which they are condensed. The first vapors condense into naphtha, and those produced by longer heating give the burning oil. About 5 per cent, of the crude oil put into the pans, or stills, remains in the form of tar. which, by another course of treatment, is converted into paraffine and coke. After distillation the refined oil is no longer green, but is as transparent as spring water, and beautifully tinged with purples and blues. It is not ready i for use, however, and has yet to be washed. The idea of washing oil may seem absurd, but it is quite practicable. The fluid is emptied into a large circular tank, in which it is treated with acids, which are poured in and mixed with it bv a powerful air-pressure from beneath. When it has been well shaken up it is allowed to settle, and the acids then separate from it and sink to the bottom of the tank, taking with them some of tbe tar that remained in the oil. The acids are then removed, and the oil is washed with salt water, which is mixed with it and agitated. Suffocating fumes come up from the tank, and the more they are shaken out of tne oil the safer it is, for they are the explosive part of it. Finallv, it is bleached, and it is then readv for the shops.— Youth's ComDanion.

HEROIC DEFENSE. An Express Messenger’s Fight with Nevada Bandits. Fite Villwins. Foiled in Their Oesi<nS>. Hastily Retire. (OzdenfUtah Teleg am.] The attempt to rob the Central Pacific train at Montello, Nev., at 1 o’clock yester* day morning, was Oile of the boldest ventures ever made, and was not a failure because the plans of the robbers miscarried. On the contrary, their arrangements for carrying out their bold scheme were complete. The great mistake which they made was in tackling a train which carried one of the bravest men in the world. With a le<s brave and determined man to deal with the attempt would have pruned fUr the attack wls vigorous Aha persistent, and continued almost without intermission fot* three hoiits, until the baffled villains withdrew from the scene, leaving the heroic Ross wounded but vi(itorioii& To him alone is due the credit df having saved the expi ess-car and the entire train. Mr. loss has been in the employ of Wells, Fargo Co. ovet sixteen years, and this is the third unsuccessful attempt which has been made to rob the treasure under his charge. Eleven years ago, while holding his shotgun on the treasure coach of the Montana line, he was held up by a band of road agents, but killed several and got away from the rest of the crowd. This last attempt has seldom been equaled anywhere for the bravery and persistence of the robbers and the stubbornness of the defense. Mr. Ross stated that the point selected by the robbers for their operations was one of the loneliest places on the line of the desert region in Nevada, in a sagebrush desert, the center of a section sixty miles in length, where there is no night telegraph station. “The San Francisco and Ogden Express trains pass at 1135 o’clock V nl -* at Tdcoma, tefi miles east Os Montello. WeleftToano.westof Montello, on time, our train being in chargd of Conductor Cassin. I checked the way T bills received at that statioti, laid down and went to sleep. The next thing which I was aware of was a rap at the car door, as if an agent had called, and, supposing the train was at Tecoma, I got up and looked out, when a man pointed a gun at me and said: “ ‘Hop out. we are going through you.’ “I jumped back and pulled the door to and hooked it They went over to the opposite side and said: u ‘Open up the doors and jump out We are going to rob the Lain.' u I replied: ‘Just wait till I get my boots on.’ “ Never mind your boots. Hon right out here, and we will get through with you, and then you can get your boots on.’ “Again the men outside said: ‘Open up, or we will burn you out and murder vou. ’ “I then got in jiosition and shot through the side of the car. Nothing was done for a few minutes, until one of the robbers asked: “ ‘Ain't you to open Up the door aud come out?’

“I told them I was not coming out Another demand was made for nle to ‘hop oul’ I made no reply to that They then stationed one man at each corner of the car between me and the baggage-car, and five shots were fired simultaneously from different quarters, all ranging toward ! the center of my car. Those were the shots that struck me—one on a hnger, one on the hip. and one just below the breast, near the watch-pocket They then got up on the end of the car io ! uncouple the train, whereupon I fired two shots through the end of tne car. At this time they heard No. 2, the west bound ex- ; press-train, coming. They backed our train up and went on the side-track, and sent two j men down the road to meet No. 2. W T hen it came un I heard Conductor Clement a«sk (’assin: ' Wnat are you doing here? I want to speak to you.' The robbers aimed their guns at Clement's head and told him to pull J out. and he did.” The nearest telegraph station was thirty ' miles. The robbers then compelled the brakeman to uncouple the express, move it ' forward, and forced the engineer to run ' ahead, and back down to wreck the express j car. which was attempted three times with- i out success, the holes in the doors being guarded by the stubborn messenger. Sev- j eral attempts to burn the ear were unsuc- i cessful owing to the scarcity of wood, and, I after renewed attempts to kill him through : the doors, they mounted their horses and rode away. CONGRESSIONAL SLMMARY. The tariff again formed the subject ot dlsouAsion in the Senate, Jan. 23. Mr. Mahone proposed a duty of |2 per ton upon ironore, but thia and successive proposition* to make the rate 41,85 cents ai*l 75 cents failed go through Pending a vote on Mr. Camden’s motion to fix the duty at «> cents per ton Ute Senate adjourned. In the House, Mr. Butterworth introduced a bill for the appointment of seven Commissioners to investigate one - tions relating to railroad or steamboat tariffs for passengers or freight. Bills were reported to retire Rufus Ingalls with the rans of Major General; to place Representative Smalls on the retired list of the navy, and to send a special committee of three members to take testimony in the election contest in the Fourth Alabama district In committee of the whole on the naval bill an amendment was adopted for the gradual abolition of the pay corps of the navy. A resolution was offered in the Senate, Jan. 24, that hereafter reciprocity treaties be considered only in open session. The Tariff bill was taken up A motion by Mr. Sherman to make the duty on pig and scrap iron three-tenths ot a cent per pound was reiected. The rate on steel rails was fixed at seven-tenths of a cent per pound. Jhe House went into committee of the whoie on the Naval Appropriation MU A paragraph was adopted to provide for the completion of one of the double-tur-reted monitors, either in a navy-yard or on proposals from ship-builders. The bill was reported to the House, and the amendments were adopted in bulk, except the one providing that Chiefs of Bureaus shall receive no additional pay. The House of Representatives passed the Naval Appropriation bill, Jan. 25, after rejecting an amendment to provide that chiefs of bureaus shall receive no additional pay and adopting a clause to give Asa Weeks $50.0(0 fur the use of his torpedo invention. Tributes to the memory of Seuator Hill were offered bv Messrs. Hammond. House. Hookor, Cox, when an adjournment was taken. Ino day having been set apart by the Senate for services in honor of the late Senator Hill, of Georgia, on motion of Senator Brown, immediately after the reading of the journal, remarks eulogistic of the deceased were begun. At the conclusion thereof the Senate adjourned, and the Republicans resumed their caucus on the tariff- Thirtv Senators were in attendance. After considerable discussion, the caucus adopted a reso ution providing for the di*cussion of the Tariff bill now pending in the Senate under the five-minute rule, and the pushing of it forward as early as possible to a vote. The Democratic Senators, to the number of twenty, also held a conference. The discussion was confined to the general policy to be pursued in regard to the pending Tariff bill No attempt was made to reach an agreement as to what action should be taken touching any particular feature of the bill, or as to any amendments to be offered. The general sentiment fa vored a curtailment, as far as possible «f speech-making, and the avoidance on the part of Democrats of filibustering or purposely delaying the passage of the bill An adverse report was made in tne Senate, Jan. 26, on the bill to increase the pensions of one-armed and one-legged soldiers. Mr. Platt introduced a bill to add $6 'jer month each to all pensions of $24 or S3O. the Committee on Agriculture reported in Mvor of holding a world’s centennial cotton exposition in 1884. Consideration of the Tariff bill was resumed. The duty on flat bar iron was reduced to sl3 per ton, and on round or square bar iron to $3» ler ton On iron or steel rails the rate was made eight-tenths of a cent p r pound, and on tin plates 1 cent. In the House of Representatives, three mem l bers presented petitions against the transfer :of the revenue marine, ufo-tiaving. marine hospital, and rigual rerrtce. Abulwwre- ! ported grantixit- the right of wav for a raUxoad through the Fort Smith military reser-

vation The Tariff bill was taken up in committee of the whole,and Mr Kelley declared it the best ever submitted te Congress. It was agreed that general debate on the measure should close at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. In the Senate, on Jan. 27, a petition was received from the council of the Six Nations of Indians,asking a recognition of their spent the day in committee of the whole oii the Tariff bill Mr. Bland criticised the action of the dominant party for its delay iq bringing in the Tariff bill and in attempting to choke the pending measure through the House and Senate without due con’-idenf* tiou It has been whispered around that, unless this Congress passed this or a similar bill, the President would call an extra session. That statement as held over this Congress to prevent due consideration of the subject Inrepiy to Mr. Kelley’s question asking authority for the statement, Mr. Biand said he had seen it slated in tue public press. Mr. Reagan said he heard it from a Senator who had it from the President Mr. Kelley did not think the President proposed to nffev a bribe tn the Democratic pottj- to prrvrttt leirislatibii on the subject! Mr. Bland opposed the bill, which he said meant death to.the agricultural interests of the country. Mr. Converse concluded a long constitutional argument with the declaration, that though it vvas within the power of Congress to protect special industries, it was not proper policy to be followed Mr. McKinley, a member of tbe Waysand Means Committee, recognized the general demand for a revision oi the tariff. A long and somewhat exciting discussion ensued concerning increased duties on cotton tiea The Marquis of Lome occupied a seat in the members' gallery of the House, with Speaker Keifer. while Mr. McKinley spoke on the degradation of labor in England An introduction to members followed, when the visitor was conducted to the Senate chamber and presented to the leading Senators The Senate spent ten hours upon the Tariff bill, at its session on the 29th ult On motion of Mr. Allison, the rate on steel not specially enumerated was changed from B cents per poutid tb 30 cent, ad Valorem. The duty on nickel in ore Or othei crude ' form was reduced from 20 cents per pound to 15 cent& The paragraph embracing zinc, spelter, tutenegue. etc., being reached, Mr. Vest dtitelared that, while he believed in a tariff for revenue, he also believed that the protection incidental to every tariff should be g-iven to Infant industries. This he regarded as good Democratic doctrine. Mr Conger welcomed Mr. Vest to the ranks of the protectionists. Mr. Bayard regretted Mr. Vest’s avowal that he would be influenced by local considerations in dealing with the tariff question. I f generally entertained it would be absolutely fatal to‘ all attempts to reform the tariff. The House discussed the Tariff bill all day. in committee of the whole. When the section was reached which provides that a duty shall be paid upon reimportations of articles subject to internal-revenue tax an amount equal to that tax. an attempt was made by the friends of the Bonded Spirits bill, through Mr. Thompson, of Kentucky, to bring in an amendment embracing the substantial features of thitt bill It was ruled out on a point of order, but there was a lively discussion upon it. participated in by Messrs. Thompson. Blackburn. Butterworth aud Reed. Mr Blackburn submitted to the House that as long as it recognized whisky a* property, as long as it burdened it with a tax of 300 per cent over its actual value, it was not only fair but wise to treat the whisky interest with common decency. He was opposed to abolishing the tax on whisky and tobacco, but he would deal fairly with the dealers in those commodities and enable them to pay their tax. He would have free salt, fre® sugar, free tea and free coffee instead of free coffee only. SICKENIN3 TRAGEDY, A Milwaukee Mother, Whi e in Religious Frenzy, Murders Her Three Chil ren. The Babes Shockingly Mutilated, Being First Stabbed and Then Disemboweled.

A terrible crime was committed in the city of Milwaukee a few days ago, a mother killing her three little children—the oldest 4 years, and the youngest 18 months—in a most brutal manner, literally cutting them to pieces and completely disemboweling them. From a local paper we glean the following details of the blood-curdling horror: When the reporter reached the dingy apartment wh* re the deed was committed he beheld a terrible , sight. Left of the door stood a large, low bed, and on the scanty, dirty bed-clothes lay the prostrate forms of three little girla They were a ghastly group. The little bodies were nude and cut up in a terrible manner. The oldest girl had a large number of gashes made with a butcher-knife all over her little body. The arms of the second girl were cut off near the shoulders, the lover extremities hung to the body by thin shreds of riesh. and the little body was completely disemboweled. The small body of the babe was cut into six pieces, the head and extremities being completely severed from the trunk. Near the foot of the bed a voung woman, only partially dressed, with disheveled hair, crouched on the floor, held down by two strong men. Upon a table near by were the remnants of a frugal breakfast, and carelessly thrust among the cups and saucers lay an ugly-looking butcher-knife, blood dripping from the blade, and a cooper's knife, or sciaper. with two handles, also smeared all over with blood. The butchery was horrible Blood dripped from the bed onto the uncarpeted floor, forming a large pool. The whole surroundings were exceedingly squalid. Poverty and uncleaniiness gave the i rooms a dreary look, which was | not improved by the bitter cold atmosphere The young woman held down was the murderess. Her hands were sme red with blood, and the front of her dress was dyed in gore. A satanic smile plaved about her mouth and her whole appearance was that of an insane person. She was a fair-haired young person, and her features were not bad She is about five reet three inches high. Over her head was a bed-quilt and when she had been placed before the fire in the police station she told her story in broken German. When asked how she*murdered the children she said she stabbed one in the breast and another in the shoulder. Thev cried but little, as she made quick work of the butchery. She smiled as she pronounced the last words. The woman used a draw-shave and two small carving knives. With the former she shaved the children’s bodies, and with the latter she stab lied and disemboweled them. While their bodies were shockingly mutilated, their heads were untouched. When a«ked what had caused her to do the fearful deed, she replied, “I read it in the book.” Her insanity is of religious form, and she thinks she has made a great sacrifice. She kept smoothing back her hair with her bloody hands, looked at the crimson stains., and smiled. Her eyes had a wild look. The sight was so terrible that the officers turned away sick at heart. Hacked and cut and stabbed and chopped legs and arms, horribly severed from the body, is the butchering described in the shortest way. The husband stated that ever since their arrival in this country they had trouble, as there had been considerable sickness among the children. About Christmas time she had read something in a paper that seemed tc have had a great effect on her. Since then she has spent whole days looking at a small prayer book in her lap. cooking’ no food, and not*even heating the room. She is doubtless insane from worrying because the sickness of the children prevented her from attending church. Prof. Virchow, of Berlin, owns nearly 6,000 human skulls of all ages and nationalities.

A GANG of thieves has of late been infesting the Morgan neighborhood, in Clarke county, and committing various depredations, so much so that a vigilance committee is talked of for the purpose of taking the matter in hand. Jambs Hendebson, of Sims township, < Miami codnty, while felling trees, was caught by a falling limb and pinioned to the ground. He wits found by neighbors, who rendered prompt assistance. He is terribly injured and cannot survive. The Princeton Clarion urges the building of anew Court House there. It says that the old rookery now occupied as a Court House is not only a disgrace to a county like Gibson, but isalssolntely an unsafe place in which to keep the county records. Daniel W. Johnson, Mayor of Seymour, was standing near an anvil in a blacksmith-shop there, when he was struck in the right thigh by a chip of steel which flew from the hammer.

At Vincennes, while one of the steam fire engines was playing on a fire, draw- I ing the water from a large public cistern on Busseron street, near the Grand Hotel, the cistern caved in and the en- ! gine fell in the cistern, being completely submerged. There are two reports i as to the origin of the accident. One is that the engine exploded and caused the cistern to cave in; the other, that the gasses in the cistern caused it to explode, and the engine fell in. The engineer, Peter Smock, was badly injured. the bureau of statistics. The fourth annual report of the State Bureau of Statistics is now printed, and as soon as the indexing is completed will be ready for distribution. In presenting the Volume to the public the chief of the department states that he “is able to report gratifying progress toward a fulfillment of the object contemplated by the law. The officers, I whose duties reach the original sources of information, have been enabled by ■ practice to become more exact as well as more expert in their work. Hence, the tabulations and aggregations, as presented in the report, approximate, it is believed, more closely to absolute accuracy. The improvement made is both encouraging to the Bureau and increasingly demonstrative of its great importance to the State.” In continuing the subject the chief exprmes i the opinion ' that “the time has arrived when the investigation I of all matters pertaining to the wellI being of society in prosecuted on the , I basis of science, and science is the knowledge of facts duly systemized. 1 Agriculture, commerce, trade, laws I finance, health, morals, the complex machinery of a high civilization, all can be studied intelligently only in ; the light of laws deduced from facts crystallized into statistics.” During the last year the work of the bureau has increased. In gathering statistical I imformation the chief of the depart- | ment has been guided by the demand for inquiry into new fields. An iml portant branch of the work now is the s I weather service. Stations have been I established in seventy-five counties of the State, and consolidated reports are furnished the Signal-service Department at Washington monthly. This, •with other new work, had added greatI ly to the labor of the bureau, and has increased the expenses until the regular annual appropriation is now inad- ; equate. The law creating the office forbids deficits, or the liability of the State beyond the amount of the appropriation. To meet the demand the chief of the bureau advanced the requisite money, and he now says emphatically that “if the new work is to be continued the sum appropriated for the department must necessarily lie increased.” Captain Conner, the chief, urges an amendment of the law creating the bureau, making reports of statistical information from certain public officers compulsory. He further urges the importance of requiring courts of record to ascertain the causes of crime and pauperism, and to report the same to the department for classification. The agricultural production of last year was more remarkable than is generally supposed. The v. heat area was 3.063,348 acres, and the production 46,928,643 bushels. Tbe chief of the bureau observes that tbe cultivation and growth j of wheat has developed more rapidly than that of any other staple crop, and has more than kept pace with the population. In 1855 the product per capita was 6.30 bushels; in 1860 it was 12.50 bushels; in 1870 it was 16.51 bushels, and in 1880 had increased to 23.75 bushels per capita. The yield of other crops was proportionately large, as shown by the following summary: ! Crops* Acres. Bushels. Corn 4,312,683 IIS.SIW. T-. 17 ; Oats 634.822 19.C15.516 Irish potatoes 72,934 7,2r.4.5M The chief of the bureau estimates [ that the. home value of the principal agricultural productions of 1882, based | upon the current markets, will not fall below $225,000,000. How much of this is surplus and finds a market outside of ! the State cannot be calculated In a resume of the economic statistics it is shown that in thirty-one counties there was a decrease in the mortgage indebtedness last vear, and that the transfers of real estate amounted in value to over $9,000,000. Statistics have been gathered from fifty-six counties which ; will afford a basis for the adjustment of j fees and salaries of county officers. ■ Since the last annual report the permanent common school fund has been increased $70,747.79, making the total aim rant of the fund $9,204,353.98, wliioh is larger than that of any other State. A BOY with a healthy body, good brain, and an ambition to be useful in the world, can succeed in his purposes if he will try. But he must daily march straightforward to his object. He can daily educate his mind and add to his store of knowledge. If he has not so many advantages as others, he must work the harder. What is wanted is courage and industry. Good staff is "often twisted into queer t shapes.

By the following estimated crop of the world, ami taking the best statistician’s table of the census of the world, it will be seen that there is not over one and a half bushels for each inhabitant. But in some countries where the population is very dense little or no wheat-bread is used. They live principally on the tropical fruits.
