TIE Petroleum trade appearsto be re-

TIE Petroleum trade appears to be re-
viving. During the past year or more the
demand In crude petroleum has been, If
not exactly stagnant, yet greatly dimin-
ished from its previous Importance. The
supply has apparently exceeded the de-
maud, in spite of the frequent losses by
fire and water at the various great wells
and depots. Whether the present re-
vival Is merely temporary and local is
matter of doubt, but the following
statement of petroleum exports from
three of our principal ports would seem
to indicate Il decidedly favorable In
crease in the foreign demand for that
article. On Friday last, for instance at
the port of Philadelphia, forty-nine
vessels were under charter aud load
ing with petroleum for foreign ports.
The amount 10 be taken by these yes
sells foots up, l76, ,I67 barrels, or LOSS, $50
gallons, allowing forty gallons 10 the
barrel. The export from Philadelphia
since January l, 1867, amounts 10 H.
474, ,635 gallons, or 2S6,S65 barrels. BY
adding the amount loading atthat daie
we have is, $50, ,3l3 gallons, or 463,3S2
barrels. Total export same period OF
1866, 8, ,lSI ,627 gallons, or 229, $50 barrels.
The total export from New York since
January 1st, 1867 amounts to Il, ,323, ,l6O
gallons, sor 35S,O79 barrels. The eX-
ports from Baltimore the present year,
10 June y. amount to 9S9. SOP gallons, or
24,745 barrels. The total export from
the United States the present year, ex-
elusive of the amount loading on the
forty-nine vessels in Philadelphia,
26. .s9S, ,495 gallons, or 672, 1852 barrels.
These figures show II cheering prospect
for the oil merchants.

a CENrRE SHor.-Henry Ward
Beecher. in IA sermon delivered in Ply
mouth Church recently, produced the
following picture:
Men seem ashamed OF labor, and Of
ten you will find men who have made
themselves respected by labor, have
built up business and amRssed for
tune, who turn to their sons and say:
"You shall never do as did; you shall
lead q different life; you shall be spared
all this" Oh, these rich mems sons.
They aim to lead a life of emasculBted
idleness. Like the polyp that floats
useless and nasty upon the sea, all
jelly, all fiabby, no muscle, no bone-it
shuts and opens, and opens and shuts,
and suckS in and squiTts out again, of
no earthly account, influence or use.
Such are these poor fools. Their parents
toiled and grew strong, and built up
their forms OF iron and bone; but de-
-nying this to their sons, they turn
them upon the world boneless, MUSCLE
less, simple Gristle, and soft at that"

Brick Pomeroy's paper, the La Crosse
Democrat, seems to be concerned about
Grants speech Mt Wheeling, taking its
cue of course from the report OF the
Generals public appearance given at
the time by the Register. He rivals
that sheet in the coarseness OF his
diatribe in regard to the General and 10
Governor Boreman. Here is a speci-
men of his remarks:
U. S. Grant, the military pudding
head. who for his reckless murders and
laundering strategy was made General
commanding the armies of the United
States, on a princely salary, enabling
him to cut much and very heavy style,
and who never opens his mouth TO
speak without saying something, has
actually GRATED. AT Wheeling, Cup in
the panhandle" of old Virginia, but
now in The bogus mis-called State OF
West Virginia,) on his arrival few
days since, he was introduced to the
citizens assembled in u very neat little
speech by (mis-called) Governor Bore
man: Grant looking AS wise as our
pet owl, (who, by the way, is good
for nothing but 10 keep meat
from spelling and to embellish Puff
ner's tin roof with white spots and
blotches of filth, heard Boreman TO the
end of his story with all the dignity be-
longing to the man who has got mort
gage on the next Presidential nOmina-
tion, and can foreclose it next summer
''if so dispOsed''-whiIe those who were
watching could see speech" rising in
him, as mercury in thermometer
during II sudden heated term, and were
on the tiptoe of excitement to hear the
bottled-up eloquence of the great ~
American captain. Just, as the Gov
ernor (mis- -called) wound up his well
coming panegyric, the rain commenced
falling gently, and Grant had his cue.
He said-and let it be RE-corded:- =
"Gentlemen-I hope you won't stay
in the rain long"
Only that, and nothing morei Then
U. S. Grant retired, and SO did the
crowd.-the former satisfied with him
self, the latter IN an amused, disHp
pointed, and dissatisfied frame OF mind.
U. s. G.'s speech-making perform
ances remind us very forcibly OF HnOth-
er eminent military genius's eloquent
appeals several years since-pOor old
Fuss aud Feathers" or "Hasty Plate
of Soup" Scott, who just before the
Presidential nominations were made in
1852, started out on u little excursion,
and, If memory serves US, one of the
speeches was something after this fash
ion-"It pains me TO see my dear fellow
citizens standing In the rain and mudV"
Great military minds seem to DRIFT into
a slream of rainy and watery eIoquence
perhaps there is something In the
"Inilingtery" business which occasions
these oratorical showers-we can ac-
count for the fact in no other way.
Mother Swisshelm, the venerable fe-
male fossil, whose tongue retains all its
