EEI In referring to the present financial
prosperity in the North, The New York
Herald says that never in the history Of

business been as large IS at present; never,
in the history Of the American people. did
there appear so much money to invest or
SO much to hazard in speculation; and,
while the speculative excitement Is much
greater than it was 10 October or Fehrua-
~ last, it does not appear in any degree

expected depreciation Of the national cur
rency. While stocks have been going rp.
gold has gone down, the rage to buy
stocks, which seems to possess al classes
and conditions Of people, grows not out
ofapy dread Of collapse il the currency.
but out Of wide spread conviction, based
on fact, thai the increase Of internal traf-
&c and the general prosperity created by
paper money are going to render produc-

Of concerns which have been productive

To TEST THE QUALITY or Wool
Take lock of wool from the sleeps back
and place it upon an inch rule. If you
can count from thirty to thirty-three spirals
or folds in the space of an inch, it equals
in quality the finest Electoral or Saxony
wool grown. Of course, when the mum
Der of spirals to the inch diminishes. the
quality Of the wool becomes relatively in
terior. Many tests have been tried but
this is considered the simplest and best.
Cotswold wool AMI some other Inferior
woods do not measure nine spirals to the
inch. With this test. every farmer has in
his possession a knowledge which will en-
able him to form correct judgment of
the quality of all kinds of wool. There
are some coarse woods which experienced
wool growers do not rank as wool, but as
hair, on account of the hardness and
straightness of the fibre.

Political.

There is preparatory caucus aud inter
change of opinion going on between the
political leaders in this State in relation to
the next State officers. The political slate
is always made up at Madison first, and
the chief figures there, at present, are }. Y.
Hopkins, whilom Private Secretary OF
Governor Bashford, and at present Senator
from the south part of Dane county and
E. A. Reyes, Post Master OF Madison.
They foisted Dixon on to the Republican
party, and are now setting the pms for the
next State Convention. But there is an
element introduced into our politics,
through the opposition Of the Copperhead
Democracy to the prosecution of the war,
which will be quite likely to disarrange. and
confound all ordinary calculations. we
need not name it now, but may have oc-
casion to refer to it hereafter. The men
most prominently named for Governor are,
Gov Solomon, Judge Potter, Treasurer
Hastings and secretary Lewis. Gov. Sal
ONION, ill quite recently, positively declin-
ed to be candidate, and many persons
who would have supported bis nominations
had he been willing, last winter or in the
early spring, TO accept nomination, are
probably now committed to other candi-
dates, so that he will lose some strength
which might otherwise have been given to
him. He has recently consented 10 be a
candidate so far as 10 say that he will not
decline nomination il rendered him. lie
