THE COON Us. THE ROOSTER.

"A Capital .jOke-The Locofocos of Cleveland,
Ohio, recently erected pole, and tied live roos-
ter in basket fastened at its end that their Chap
man might crow over the wings. The Wings, not
to be outdone, got live Coon and fastened him on
board at the end of another pole which was ele.
waited, in like manner as the Cock. After remain
ing up for some time the Cooney's appetite began
to make him feel very uncomfortable and he set to
work aud freed himself by gnawing the cord which
confined him, and came down from his elevation in
search of something to eat. But it appears he was
watched by the Locofocos, for sooner had he set
his foot on terra firm, than he was pursued by the
Locos, who were bent Oh his destruction. So poor
Cooney made tracks for his life, and directed his
course 10 the Locofoco pole, up which he ran like
a squirrel, until he arrived at the top, where he
made short work, and an excellent meal out Of the
chicken fXins prepaed by his enemies While he
was regaling himself the exasperated Locos started

As to Wool, we would cheertully stake the re-
suit Of the Presidential Election on the judgment
OF the Woo-growers as to which Of the two Tar
ifs is preferable-the present, or the substitute
proposed by Gen. Mckay and supported by the
mass of tie Locofocos last winter. We see no
use of repeating what we have stated, we do not
wish to add any thing to it. Briefly, we stand on
these impregna6le grounds:
|. That the present Tariff does afford efficient
Protection to all kinds of American Wool, selling
for 80 30 cents pound, which it would not com.
mand if foreign Wool costing less than nine cents
here, duty paid were equal to or in any manner
competed with it,
2. That the proposition of the Free Traders to
raise the duty on this coarse Foreign Wool to 10
or 20 per cent THAT is, seven mills to one cent a
pound is deceptive and fraudulent, because at the
same time they proposed to reduce the duty on
coarse Wooden Blankets from fifteen to ten per ct
thus ensuring the introduction of coarse Woolens
instead Of Wool, and depriying the Farmer not
merely Of any market for such Wool, but for the
Provisions, Fuel, &c, &c. he now sells to the man
uiacturers Of these fabrics, from whatever Wool;
B. That the intent of the present Tariff is tc
shut out such Foreign Wool, unless imported at
high duty as comes in competition with any A.
merican Wool; and we believe this is the effect Of
1t. But if it shall appear at any time that this re-
suit is not attained, then in favor of so al
terng the specifications Of the Tariff as to ensure
that result. We are for adequate, efficient Pro
lection to cvery branch of Home Industry, now and
evermore.-- Tribune.

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
By the arrival of the Mexican schooner Fortu-
ma at this port yesterday, we have intelligence of
u later date from Mexico.
The first and most important news which we
have received is, that the town of Matamoras has
been destroyed by a hurricane. 1t occurred on the
night Of the 4th ult, and was more tremendous in
It's effects than the hurricanes Of 1895 and 49, More
than twothirds of the houses Of the city were pros
traed, and the remainder were more or less iniur.
ed. As to the extent of the loss of life, we are
not accurately informed. The correspondent Of
III Censor de Vera Cruz, estimates the whole loss
at about 200 souls.
In writing of Motamoras, the editors have moth
ing to mitigate the extent of It's ruin. They de-
scribe it as a beautiful city, Astounding. in luxuriou.
Indications, and provided not only with the neces
saries Of life, but many of its most refined Injuries
In a moment, as it were, every thing is laid waste
Except the houses of Don Pedro Jose de Ia Ga
zaz, Of Donna Juana Perea, and-the new church
there is not a building which is not much damaged
or which is not heap of ruins.
To tell every thing in one word-the greater par
of the population are compelled to live in shantee
built among the ruins OF their houses
Our new Minister TO Mexico, ex Governor Shan
non OF Ohio, has reached his destination, bat W.
are sorry TO say, minus his ready money and an,
thing he may have had about his person. On hi
route between Vera Cruz and the capital the stag
in which he was passenger, was way laid, and Tho
Minister robbed of whatever he had about him.
A fine commentary this, upon the efficiency of
government about to send some thousands Of me-
into the field against Texas.

This preparation has now stood the test of
several years trial, and is confidently recon-
mended as a safe and elfectual medicine for ex-
polling worms from the system. The unexam-
pied success that has attended its administers
ton in every case where the patient was really
afflicted with worms, certainly renders il wor-

tain the result Of its use in such cases as came

The pubic are cautioned that an article cali

Messrs. Comstock & Co., of New York, is NOT
THE SAME AS FAHSEsTocK's, although so rep

uine B. A. FAHHEsTCcK's NERMFUGE. Be

who are employed by ComStock & CO., have
been known to assert that KoLMsTocK's and

That, amidst the profusion OF nostrums and pa

should be cautious as to the remedies they pur

Many helpless child has been laid in the
