The Huropean War Cloud.

Advices from Berlin and St. Peters- burg agree.in stating that the quarrel between Bismarck and Prince Gort- schakoff is now intensifying, and has reached such a stage that amicable ad- ustment appears almost impossible. Bismarck remains doggedly silent in bis adherence to the position which he has assumed in the controversy and re- fuses to take any steps towards recon- ‘iliation, while he permits semi-ofticial ournals, over which he has control, to an the flames of the quarrel. The Vorth German Gazette, which is pe- ciliarly the organ of Prince Bismarck, nsists that*the Russian papers, in- spired by Prince Gortschakoff, are de- liberately c‘rculating fabrications re- specting the attitude of Germany it the Berlin Congress, and are screening the errors of Prince Gortschakoff at the Congress by seeking to throw the responsibility for his policy upon the other nations, At ‘he Congress, the North German Gazette continues, the points in dispute between Russia and Western Powers refered to cuestions of Batoum, the Dobrudscha, Soga, the coast of the Russo-Turkish und Bulgarian frontier; on all these points Prince Bismarck made concess- ions in favor of Russia, in fact there were no demands formulated by Russia at the Congress which Prince Bismarck did nof support. Te did not reckon upon Russia’s gratitude and recogni- tion towards her during the Congress. I{ad he done so, he would now be in the position of the man who leaned uponta broken reed.

A young lady belonging to a well known family in the Faubourg St. Ger- main Paris, lately committed suicide under painful circumstances. She was engaged to be married to;an Italian, and the banns were already put up, when the expected bridesgroom decamped with the lady’s jewels. On learning the news she swallowed a dose of poison.

Naphtha and Benzine.

We have often been asked the difference between benzine and napththa, many people

wanting te know whether naphtha didn’t

include benzine, or whether it wasn’t the same thing under a marketable name. A prominent refiner says that benzine is the first predct that arises from the process of refining crude oil, and bears the same rela- tion to naphtha that distillate does to re- fined oil. In other words, benzine is crude naphtha, The reason is not quotable un- der the name of benzine, therefore, is be- cause it has to be reduced to naphtha be- fore it is marketable};in any extensive quantity.

'The precess that benzine is subject to, to produce naphtha is not a separate business, but is carried on by the regular oil refiners in the same stills and retort that the re fined oil is produced. The benzine is treated with sulphuric acid, and the result is naphtha, which is in wide demand in Europe, especially in France, for the pur- pose of producing aniline dyes, while it is also put to many other purposes.

This demand is practically instrumental in keeping up its price, but its rapid evapor- ation also has a tendency in that direction, as any large seller of it has to take into con- sideration the depreciation that might take place by the time he sells it on that account, and for the same reason buyers give no more orders than immediate necessity re- quires.

All refiners, however, do not produce naphtha, but some of them sell the benzine, which is largely used for fuel purposes, for which it is much better than coal, as it is not only absolutely cheaper, but gives a steadier heat.—Parker Daily.
