these second hand waistcoats are boughtup
to make skullcaps for their use. But old
clothes, after they have served the purposes
of two or three classes of society, are vet
far from closing their career; when they
have seen their worst they take altogether
new lease of existence. When old clothes
are too bad for anything else they are still
good enough for shoddy and mungo. Bat
ley, Dewsbury and Leeds have seen de-
scribed as the grand centres of woollen rags
the tatterdemalion capitals, into which
are drawn all the greasy, frowsy, cast off
clothes of Europe, and whence issue the
prlet-cloths, the petershams, the beavers,
the talmas, the chesterfelds and the mo-
hairs in which our modern dandies disport
themselves. The cid rags after being re-
duced to the condition of wool by enor-
nous tooth-wheels,a ,are mixed with VARYING
amount Of fresh wool, and The whole is then
worked up into the fabrics we have men
toned, which now have the run of fashion.
1t is estimated that shoddy and munro
supply the materials for third of the WOOL
len manufactures of this country. Here is
a grand transformation. No man can saw
that the materials of the coat he is wearing
has not been already on the back of some
bSSSuis LII Out COTHeT Ol the ''an1-
NAL products department in the South
kensington Museum, the visitor can see
hundreds of specimens of this shoddy and
mungo-a perfect resurrection of the old
clothes from every country in Europe. The
cast-of wardrobes of civilized man, by a
law of commerce are sucked into this
country, and mainly into this metropolis,
and IN return we distribute it in perfect
fabrics, destined to 60 once more the round
of civilization. Hops, we are told, of a
certain quality, cannot be grown without
the manure of land rags. Thus, the final
destination of old clothes, after all, is the
human frame, and we only finally lose sight
of them when, instead of clothing this vile
corpus, they are transmitted into the body
itself, as we quaff the foaming tankard, or
the more genteel bottled bitter of Bass or
Alison.

The Overland Mail Line.

From the annual report Of the Postmaster
General we learn that contracts have been
entered into with the contractors for carry
ing the Overland Mail between Atchison,
Kansas, and Folsom, California, from Oct.
lst, 1864, to Sept. 30th, 1868. Ben. Holla-
day is the contractor from Atchison to Salt
Lake at 1866 700, and Wm. Dinsmure car
ries it from Salt Lake to Folsom, for $685.
600; making total cost of $750,000 per
annum. The contracts are for carrying
through letter mails, mails prepaid at letter
rates and way MALL. Thus it will be seen
the letting is based upon the law of March
5th, 1864. Most people in this country
have been in great doubt as to the actual
situation of the Overland mail contract
This settles it. s... ....,
| As pertinent to this subject we notice by
the Congressional Globe that Hon. John F.
Kinney, Delegate in Congress from the Ter
ritory of Utah, introduced in the House of
Representatives on the first day of the
present session of Congress, the following
resolution, which was read, considered and
agreed to: 5a1 H- ..rr..E
Resolved, That the committee on the Post ofics
and Post Roads be instructed to inquire into the
pediency Of introducing bill, at early day of
the present session of Congress, repeating the fol-
lowing fourth section of an act entitled An act
to provide for carrying the mails of the United
States to foreign ports and for other purposes"
i "Ssc. 4.---And be it further enacted, That all
mailabla matter which may be conveyed westward
beyond the western boundary of Kansas, and east
ward from the eastern boundary of California shall
be subject to prepaid letter postage, Provided,
That this section shall not be held to extend to the
transmission by mail of newspapers from n known
Office of publication to bona ide subscribers, Eot ex
ceeding copy to each subscriber nor to frnnked
matter to and from the intermediate points between
the boundaries above named, at the usual rates !:
Provided, further, That such franked matter shall
be ect to such regulations to its transmission
and delivery as the Postmaster General shall pre-
! scribe
The fact that the resolution was SO
promptly adopted augurs well for the pas
sage of the law it contemplates. If Mr..
Kinney can effect it, it will place him high
in the affections of the people of the west
ern Territories. Ali that Congress will
then have to do will be to authorize the
payment of extra compensation for carry
ing the increased mail over the present
contract. The Overland mail has hereto,
fore been estimated to cost one million si
dollars per year, but the actual coArac'
= is one fourth less, That amount Will paJ
i the cost of carrying ali of it, and place th,
people of half dozen territogies on al
