CAROLINA GENTCS DI3COVEBS A NEW OIL AND A NEW PROCESS FOB OB TAINING IT j Wilmington Messenger i Mr. W. A- Martin, an experimental chemist of this city, bas discovered a new oil and a process for obtaining it. In -flcientific point of view the double discovery is quit a valuable one, ancl promises to be a source of profit to the discoverer, besides being an acquisition to the industries of the countryi ;j The process of obtaining the oil is, ofcoiuse. a secret, but Mr. Martin bas not taken out a patent and is rather inclined not to do no, as giving bis formula might be the means of de feating the object which a patent is supposed to cover. . S The Oil is a hydro-carbon oil, and being vegetable in nature, can be ob tained from any source not mineral or animal. It can even be made from waste paper, woods, &c. This oil is a pure gree.se, is colorless and has only a yery faint and hardly percep tible odor that is not at all disagree able. : It is free from gum or mucilaginous substance, is perfectly neutral, will not ferment or get rancid, and re mains perfectly limpid in cold weather. Its specific gravity is from fifteen to twentyUlegrees, Baune'e hydrometer. As an illuminant it bas been tested and gives a strong, brilliant light, and is' non-explosive. It makes f a splendid lubricant for machinery of all kinds, and in every respect, it .is claimed, is superior to lard oil, and is a great deal eheaper. The fact is there is nothing like it known to science and consequently there is nothing on the market that assimilates it. The process for its manufacture is simple and inexpen sive, and tho material from which it can be made is limitless and right at our doors. It can, therefore, be made cheap.'; Mr. Martin has been experimenting with different material in its manu facture but has not determined what is tho most productive in results. The material is treated with chemi cals and is afterwards distilled to procure the oil. The oil so produced is limitless in the uses to which it can be applied, and being antiseptic, is unequaled for medicinal purposes. It is a very superior dressing for leather, owing to the fact that leather treated with it will not mildew. Released from Jail and Immediately A r rested.

THE EXPERIMENT STATION BILL AN" IN CREASE OF THE PENSION FOB DEAF NESS OTHEB NEWS BY W1BS. Washington, Jan. 26 Senate. Mr. Allison, from the committee oa ap propriations, reported back the House bill to carry, into effect the provisions of the act of the 21 of March, 1.S87. j in regard to experimental stations at agricultural colleges. Calendar. Ua motion of air. Quay, the ben- ate took from the calendar and passed the bill increasing the pension for total deafness to $30 per month (from $13) and allowing a proportionate in crease for partial deafness. He stated that the entire increased expense to J the treasury under the bill would not exceed $100,000 per year. Ihe calendar was then taken up and the billsthereon taken v.p in th, ir regular order, those objected to being laid aside without action. A number of bills of local interest were passed. The Senate then took up the bill giving a pension of $2,000 yearly to the widow cf Gen. John A. Logan. After a long debate Mr. Berry called for the yeas and nays on the passage of the bill and the bill was passed; yeas 55, nays 7. The negative votes were gjixen by Me-srs. Berry, Coke, Colquitt, tlarriP, Keagan, Saulsbury and Vance. On motion of Mr. Vest, a like bill increasing to $z.U0U a year the pen sion of the. widow of Gen. Frank P. Blair was passed by a vote of 51 to G. (Mr. Saulsbury not voting.) Ihe Senate then took up the Blair educational bill, but soon proceeded to the consideration of executive busi ness, ihe doors were soon re-opened and Mr. Blair proceeded with his re marks. A remark of Mr. Blair's on the sub ject of northern capitalists in the South was interpreted by Mr. Dawes as meaning that these northern capi talists were influenced only by money making considerations and cwed lit tle for the promotion of popular edu cation in that section. Mr. Dawes inquired what Mr. Blair really meant in that connection, and was assured by Mr. Blair that he had said' nothing which would justify such an interpretation. Mr. Hawley subsequently noticed the same point. Mr. Blair complained that both had attempted to place him in a false atti tude. Mr. Hawley assured him that he meant nothing of the kind. He did not mean that the Senator from New Hampshire had said anything more than that Northern men went to the South with their capital in the ordi nary mercantile way, or, in Mr. Blair b own words, for the purpose ol "self appropriation to make money. He (Mr. Hawley) said that they carried ' with them a higher purpose than that of mere money making, and he instanced An- n is ton and the Shelby Iron Works in Alabama as places built up by Con necticut capital, and where churches and schools were well sustained. In concluding bis" speech, Mr. Bliir said he had confined himself to the pre sentation of testimony to show tha if ever there was need of uational aid to education, that need had rather in creased than diminished. Mr. Morgan obtained the floor but yielded to a motion to adjourn, and ihe Senate, at 4.45, adjourned till Monday. HOUSE. The morning hour was consumed in debating the bill affecting the title to a small tract of land in Kansas reserved for some New York Indians who never occupied the lands. The bill was finally passed. The committee on foreign affairs was discharged at its own request from further consideration of the bill incorporating the Maritime Canal Company of Nicaragua, and the same was referred to the committee on commerce. The consideration of unfinished business the Wilkias banking bill was postponed on account of the ab sence of Mr. Wilkine, who is unwell. On motion of Mr- Wise, of Vir ginia,' the bill was passed regulating practice in cases removed from State to Federal Courts. It provides that the plaintiff shall not be required to ive security for the costs of a suit it e be a citizen of the State in which the suit was brought. Mr. Belmont, from the committee on foreign affairs, reported the joint resolution accepting the invitation of the French republic to take part in the international exhibition to be held in Paris in 1889, and appropriating $200,000 to enable the United States to participate. On motion of Sir. Whitthorne, of Tennessee, the bill was passed appro priating $175,000 for the repair of the United States steamship Hartford. The Speaker pro tern, stated the regular order to be the consideration of the resolution setting apart f ec ru ary 21st, after the morning hour, and each day thereafter until further orders, for the consideration of bills reported from the committee on pub lic buildings and grounds, not to in terfere with revenue or general ap propriation bills. Mr. Randall suggested that the House hd better adjourn and he made a motion to that effect, which was defeated. Filibustering motions were then entered upon by Mr. Bland, but were repeatedly voted down amid much noise and confusion. Finally, at 5 o'clock, the House adjourned till to morrow without action on the reso lution. A Lockout. Milwaukee, Vis., Jan. 20.

A colored iuilividu.il named Vnv Cooper was on trial for Iaroony; he had no counsel. When ail the evidence was iD, the judge asked him if he wanted to make a speech to the jury. ' He said he did, and advancing tremblingly towards the jury-box and taking a look at the jurymen, he broke down r.nd, povoring his face with his hands, baid,:blubberingly, "He, he, boss, I Joan know what ter say." The judge encouraged him to proceed, when, lifting his elbows to an angle of about forty five degrees, with his foreaimb raised and his hands hang ing Ivaip from tha wrist and waving slowly up and down, he said, "For G :e sake gemmen, do de best you can for uie. Sot tor my sake, gem- uieu,, bui G 's sake.

After this eloquent and touching appeal, the jury retired, but soon re turned a verdict of guilty, and his Honor sentenced the oratorical Wil liam; to three years in the peniten tiary;. CEDAR HILL. : Tuesday of court week is always horsje-swapping day here,1 and Cedar hull is the place. But on this occasion, the ground being covered withr sleet, operations could not be carried on at this famous place, so business was transferred . to a street near, the river (Tar) known as "Bull Run," and all day long horse-swapping was the order of the day. lhese horses wappings develop some extremely ludicrous scenes, and haves to be. seen to be properly appre ciateid. The swapper is a peculiar individual in looks and habits. In appearance he is somewhat like the Georgia cracker, and can drink more mean whisky, talk louder and curse stronger than any other man. He is a sliiTdcss-looking fellow and seems perfectly happy when he gets loaded down, uside and out, with mean liquor. Civilization and progress havd no effect on the swapper. All around him may change, but he still remains the same.
