Experiments are being made
in London with petroleum in a
solid state for fuel purposes, the
crude oil being mixed with a
chemical compound equal to about
15 per cent, of its weight, and then
being subjected to a moist heat of
212 degrees, after which it is dried
at a high temperature and core
pressed into the form of bricks by
a powerful press. The fuel in this
form, when burned in an ordinary
grate, presented a bright flame of
intense heat, without giving off
any liquid, and leaving but little
ash. The tests made are said to
have been very successful, the
blocks being equal to coal in heat
ing power, without being liable to
spontaneous combustion, and
giving no clinkers when burned.

iMTersifled Crops.
Ia an able artiole on reduoing the
aoresge of cotton in the South, the Wil
mington Star tells in the following ex-
traot what our Southern oountry would
be if the planters would raise diversified
orops:
MHow different Southern plantations
would look and how different the South
would be if the plantations were divid
ed ud into cotton fields, grain fields,
clover and grass fields, corn fields, with
a good big garden ana a nioe oronara
near by, instead of being all cotton, as
so many of them are; cotton field after
ootton field, nothing to break the same
ness unless tne green woods that may
be between.
If every plantation of a hundred
acres, say, had ten sores for grass, ten
for wheat, tea for oorn. ten for oats,
ten for orchard and small fruits, with
garden, potato patohee, etc, and larger
and smaller farms divided np m tne
same proportion, and eaoh supplied
with good stock, the Southern farmers
would soon be the most prosperous in
the world, and the South the riohest
agricultural section on tne globe.
When the all ootton delusion vanishes,
all this may come, but a good start will
never be made in that direotlon until It
does vanish.

Balls at New Bcrno Seventy Years Ago.
Iu tbii season of Fancy Dreer Balls it
may be interesting to the grand chil
dren to learn what their grand parent
were doing in that way. Seventy yeire
ago. Their pronenoy ia dancing and
the deoorum of their department, gave
gratifying evidence of the fidelity with
which the masters deyoted their skill
and time to the improvement of the pu
pilsmale and female. Uudoubtedly
the manner of both boy's and girl's.
should be attended to aa their minds.
The town of Newbern in tho days
above referred to, had justly the reputa
tion of being one of the most palijlud
in this country- What has progress ac
complished for it in that respect?
It would be interesting to know all
of those who participated in the Da
Grand Val balls. But aa our faihem
were as much averse to an exhibition
of the names of the different member
of their families in print as their hod
are fond of it our curiosity will d rob-
ably never be eratitied unless bur ven
erable and esteemed citizjn, Mr. A. T.
Jerkins, who was there or thereabouts
should recall the past and tell us cf
events in the vigor of his youth.
