A Just Appreciation.
We had the pleasure of seeing in
the city today our friend, Mr. Jesse
F. Hoskins, of Summerfield, Guilford
county , who is here in connection
with his duties as a revenue official.
Mr. Hoskins, or as he is familiarly
termed by his immediate friends,
"the Duke of Summerfield," has been
in the revenue service for several
yeuis. Sometime since he met with
an accident which laid him up for
about four months. He has now so
far recovered as to resume duty, and
the government, in consideration of
the faithful manner in which he has
served the public interests, has as
signed him a place much more de
sirable than formerly, and one in
which he can better serve the in
ternal revenue system. Such ap
preciation on the part of the govern
ment is commendable, but certainly
deserving in this case.

Oil PondH in Ibe Gulf
Between the mouth of the Missis
sippi river and Galveston, Texas, ten
or fifteen miles south of Sabine Pass,
is a spot in the Gulf of Mexico which
is commonly called "the Oil Ponds"
by the captains of the small crafts
which ply in that vicinity. There is
no land within fifteen miles, but
even in the . wildest weather the
water at this spot is comparatively
calm, owing to the thick covering of
oil which apparently rises from the
bed of the gulf, which is here about
fifteen to eighteen feet beneath the
surface. This strange refuge is well
known to the sailors who run on the
small vessels trading between Cal
caslen, Orange, Sabine, Beaumont
and Galvestc n. When through stress
of weather they fail to make harbor
elsewhere, they run for "the Oil
Ponds," let go the anchor and ride
the gale in safety this curious , pot
furnishing a good illustration of the
effects of "oil upon the troubled
sea." Chicago Times.
