Female Mania for Dress.

The reckless mania for dress, which
just now RACES with the fury of an epi-
delnic, among the women of France, is
even more glaring by the seaside than
in Paris. There, the one end and OBJ
ject OF life appears to be to surpass all
others, not only in costliness, but in
originality of attire. The most fantus-
tic fashions are Haunted through the
narrow, dirty streets of dreary little
bathing villages; while the richest silks
and satins of the most delicate hue are
trniled over the moist sands, or ex-
posed to the burning sun on the terrace
of the ctabtisSement, their speedy de-
struction furnishing a welcome, though
unneeded, excuse for some fresh and
still more startling novelty. If rich
people alone INDUCED in such follies,
it would be a less serious, if still very
regretable, matter; but the evil is rapid
lY spreading downward to the lower
strata of society, in spite of the Oppo-
sition it there encounters on the part,
not only of husbands and fathers, but
also of youthful aspirants to connubial
bliss. Not many months ago, an OPEN
air meeting was held ut Marseilles, at
which sone hundreds OF young men
pledged themselves not to change their
condition until women had come to
their senses, and learned to be more
moderate in their personal expendi-
lures.

The OIL Market---PrOductIOn Limited
.--ImpOrtant Statements.
z Ftom ihe 1EtuswNe Herald.

The petroleum markets remain in
the same unsettled condition. Buyers
are unwilling, as general thing, to
pay more than 81, and sellers are hold
ing at 81 5092 75, with but few if any
sales that we hear of. Oil sold on Bull
Run at S2,05 yesterday, which is not
any basis upon which to form quota
tions, because on the same day oil was
sold on the Stephenson Farm for 81 75.
There is not any excessive amount of
oil ut the wells. The impression
that the production is larger than
it was this time last year is
not founded on fact, because we hear of
a great many new strikes, we can bear
of wells, both large and small, which
are constantly ceasing 10 produce. For
instance, the Stephenson farm, last
Thursday, was producing OF the rate of
1890 barrels per day, which is the lar
gest yield of any one farm in the terri
tory, next week it may not produce
one-half that amount.
The Ocean Well, and several other of
the largest on this farm have stopped,
and there is no saying on what day or
what hour many of the other large
wells may also cease to yield.
This is the case all through the terrific
ry. The great anxiety of the owners of
each individual territory to put an
over-eStimate upon their own produc-
ton is an error which is having a most
injurious effect upon the Eastern mar
ketS. From all sources of ofinfOrmation
it would appear to be II very hazardous
speculation to guarantee daily pro-
duction of 5000 barrels per day for the
next sixty days. The most successful
means at present tofincreasing the pro-
duction has been Col. Roberts torpe-
does, but for every barrel he has pro-
duced there has been a falling Off in
other localities of two.
The dull season has commenced, and
instead of retaining the bulk of the
production here it has been forwarded
by tank car operators and others to
flood the eastern markets, and if any
large orders were to come in, it ;is a
doubtful matter whether or not they
could be filled without entirely drain
ing the region. Pioneer Run for in
stance could not fill an order of 5000
barrels as there are only 5000 barrels
there. The same is the case with the
other large producing sections. 1t there
fore appears to be the most perfect folly
on the part of the producers TO sell their
oil at present rates, as the lower they
sell, the greater will be the depression
in the eastern markets.
The tank car operators can well af
ford to pay $3.50 for their oil without
losing money, us they have sold short
to considerable extent at lS15@19c. in
bulk for this month. If the markets
are depressed for the next fortnight in
the same proportion which has been
the case for the past two weeks, the
price of oil at the wells will be nothing,
as it will cost more to ship it than it will
bring in the eastern markets. 1t may
therefore be as well to stop sending oil
to the eastern markets until there is
better demand for the article, or at least
until it becomes necessary to sell it for
want of room to store il.

a National Board of Fire Under.
writer's.


a meeting of many of the Presidents
and other officers of the most influen-
tial Insurance Companies was held in
New York city last Thursday. Repre-
sentatives from several of the States
were present.
The following resolutions. respecting
an advance in the rate of premiums,
were adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t is we'll known that the
business of Fire Insurance, in which
is invested in the United States, some
S65, 600 900 capital, is from the preva-
lence of extremely low rates of premi-
UNI, and from excessive losses, growing
out of the frequency of fires during the
past two years, not only non-remuner-
ative to the stockholders of many OF
these institutions, but threatens the
impeachment of the capital and the
consequent withdrawal from the CON-
munity of sufficient guarantee against
losses by fire, thereby affecting the in
terest of the princely merchant, who
has large amounts of property at risk,
and the poor man who owns onlv his
homestead, ald who alike seek protec-
ton against the calamity of the possi-
BILE destruction of their property by the
devouring element, fire,
ReSOIUed, That it is self-eVident pro-
position that those who risk their capi-
tai in providing the means of insurance
against losses by fire are justly enti-
tied to receive from those whom thew
thus protect, such rates of premium as
will, after meeting the losses, yield ade-
quate compensation for the hazard to
which such capital is exposed; and it is
believed that those who seek such pro-
lection generally appreciate the fact,
and are disposed to uphold the COmpa-
I III. i
as n true means of promoting their own
security.
RESOLVED, That the greatly reduced
rates of premium which have obtained
within the last few years in connection
with the large amount of losses sus-
tanned by the Fire Insurance Compa-
nies in the United States within the
past two years have rendered a material
advance OF premium necessary to II
continuance of the business; and it con-
sequently becomes the duty of those TO
whom the business of the Companies is
intrusted to adopt judicial measures to
obtain by general cooperation a suita-
BILE advance in the rate of premiums.
"A National Board of Fire Under
writers of the United States has been
formed, the objects and purposes there
of being defined as follows:
FirSt-To establish and maintain, as
far as practicable, system of uniform
rates of premium.
iSecond-To establish and maintain a
uniform rate of compensation to agents
and brokers. r
Ihird-To repress incendiarism and
arson by combining in suitable meas
ures for the apprehension, conviction
and punishment of criminals engaged
in this nefnriOus business.
Fourth-To devise and give effect to
mon interests, and the promotion of
our general prosperity.

Touching Incident.

We are informed that a gentleman
recently travelling from the west in a
sleeping car witnessed the following
scene:
In the same car with him was a gen.
tleman trying to still a crying baby by
carrying it to and fro in the coach, and
which, by its screams, finally Irritated
a man in one of the berths to such II
degree that he could endure it no
longer, and cried out profanely, "What
in - is the matter with that young
One?" And soon again, "Where is the
mother of that child that she is not here
10 pacity it?" AT this the gentleman
III charge of the child stepped up to the
berth and said: "iSir, the mother of this
child is in her coffin, in the baggage carl"
Our informant says the gruff grumbler
Immediately arose, compelled the af-
hicted father to retire to his berth, and
from that time until morning, took the
orphan under his own care.-[ NoT1CdLk

REDUCTIo AD ABsURDUM.-"He who
would thrive must rise at five." So
says the proverb, though there is more
rhyme than reason in it; for, if
He who would thrive must rise at five,
it must follow, naturally,
He who'd thrive more must rise at four;
and it will insure consequence that
He who'd still more thriving be,
Must leave his bed at turn OF three:
And who this latter would out do,
VIII rouse him at the stroke of two.
And, by way of climax to it all, it
should be held good that
He who'd never be outdone,
Must ever rise as soon as one.
But the best illustration would be
He who'd flourish best OF all,
Should never go to bed at ALL

"To speak OF, or address n C6nteder-
