Cnrne PiTRoi.crii. We And some re
marks In the Daily Bulletin on the condition
or to market for crude pe'roleura, which
are interesting enough to quote, and we re
gret that we are compelled to abridge them.
That Journal says:
'It la manifest that the owners and deal
era In crude and refined petroleum bold
those commodities at prices which represent
meir osoiute value. The cause of the
very lew bid on the part of foreign ship
per is undoubtedly tbu low pienlum on
gold; but, at the same time, commercial
financiers who are aa able as the New York
wra ougnt to recognize at once the
tact toat American products cannot noatii
vely be bought at tbe ism prices that were
paid for litem when the premium on
goia was fifteen per cent, higher than II
oas ueen lor tbe past two months. Euro.
ir.i ooyers ougnt, therefore, to take into
consideration the present low steady, premi
ums, and since t bey want our goods, tbey
auould advance their prices to figures lor
which iney can be obtained. That is the
only possible remedy for the present stag.-
ioe export or petroleum and all
o tber American commodities."

Not for Joe.
"O, no, not we don't blow,

A young nan living down town, without
the fear of bis sweetheart's parents before
his eyes, undertook to "book" tbe object of
dis adoration from a secoad story window
in bor lather's bouse, an Friday night last

and espied Joe gelog up the ladder. Tbe
old nan caught kold of the fool of tbe lad
der and let something drop. It was Joe.
Grabbing him by the collar, he lilted him
to bli feet and nearly shook him out ol bis
clothes, after which he led blm into tbe
house aid lectured blm as follows:
"Look's bore, you eussed sneak, when.
ever you go aad larn a decent trade, and
kin make enough money to pay bouse rent,
an' raise a family, you kin come here with
out a ladder, walk la tbe front door an'

Thi Progress or Opinion. A Nan
tucket sea cantata tells tbe following in
oecdote about a sbipmate who accompanied
btm on one of bis early wbaiting voyage :
Stiles was a simple beard d, transparent
young fellow, and, when be aileai. bad
been paying attention for some lime to a
young lady, who be bad reason to think,
did not fully reciprocate tils anient reeling.
At all events, the parting on her side wus
not so affectionate aa he could wish, and
be was impressed with (be I elief that she
only kept bim as a stand by, in d, fault of a
better offer. "I don't tieliwu." Stiles'
would fays, with a despondent shake or bis
head, "I don't believe Ann Jones'll
bave me anyhow." When we ha I been
nl a tew months, and had met a witb fair
success, Stilea's tone waa molifled. The
huiden of bla monologne changed to "Well,
I don t know but what Aon Jones Ml bave
me, after all." Witb a thousand barrels
under hutches, he became still more hope
till. "Chance la pretty good for Ann Jones"
be would ) ' pretty pond now." At fif
teen hundred barrels be b id resumed a self-
satisfied manner, and soliloquized, "I cues
there s no danger but what Ann Jonrs 'II
have mo now." At two thousand barrels.
"Ann Join s 'II lie glad enough to get me
now, I know." When we cut the last liui
that was to fill tbe vessel's hold nd tq'Mred
away for home, Sie threw his hat in the
air with a wild Indlnn yell or triumph. "I'll
be darned II I'll bav Ann Jones anyhow!''
