Its wiser being good than bad;
It's safer being meek than fierce;
It's filter being sane than mad.
My own hope is, a sunwill pierce
The thickest cloud earth ever stretched;
That, after Last, returns the First,
Though wide compass round be fetched;
That what began best. can't end worst;
Nor what God blessed once, prove accurst.

siSns,

Two very Important railroad enter
prises are now under full headwaS The
one is tie construction OF a railroad from
Washington to ,the Point of Rocks, on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, near
Harper's Ferry, and the other is the com
pletion of the Pitt sburg and ConhelSviile
Railroad between Pittshnrg and Cum
berland the latter also point on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, one hun
dred and seventy eight miles west of Bal
timore The Point of Rocks Road will
be forty or fifty miles long. 1t is seven
ty miles now from Baltimore to Point of
Rocks and ninety-one miles from Wash
ington to Point of Rocks by the present
railroad By the new road it will be on
ly forty or fifty miles to the Point of
Rocks from Washington 1t is being
built by the Baltimore aud Ohio Rail-
road Company The Pittsburg and Con
nellsville Road is one hundred and forty
eight miles long fifth-nine mile are COM
pleted and in operation between Pitts
burg and Cohuellsville; the remaining
eighty nine miles will be completed it is
hoped, in about a year. When these
two links are completed, there will be
an airline railroad from Chicago to
Washington, as follows:
Chicago to Pittsburg, by Fort Wayne
and Chicago Road, 46e miles; Pittsburg
to Cumberland by Pittsburg and Con
uellsville Road lag miles; Cumberland
to Washington, by Baltimore and Ohio,
and Point of Rocks Road, l55 miles. To
tai from Chicago to Washington, only
I'll miles, or II miles shorter than the
present shortest route by way of Harris
burg and Baltimore. The difference in
time, however, will be still greater 1t
now requires 40 hours to so from Wash
ington to Chicago By the route through
trains can easily be run in 80 hours, aud
that will be only 25 miles per hour.

is an overpowering necessity that we

that the constitution is the only limita-

Wool ir, New York.

Wool has been very quiet this week.
The uncommon dry weather keeps man
ufacturers out of the market, with few
exceptions. There are some who are i'm
pressed with the same conviction that
dealers are. that Wool will not be lower
for long time to come, and are buying
in very quiet manner at resent rates ;
for, Notwithstanding the extreme drouth,
and the very small demand, few are dis
posed to concede, but if any one is fonnd
that is willing to make slight conces-
sion-or compelled to do so for want of
funds--there are dealers who are ready
TO take such lots, in the full confidence
that We shall have an advance just as
soon as rain comes and though these
parties complain of us tor maintaining
the opinion that Wool will go up, yet
by their actions they endorse our opin-
ION in the most unequivocal manner, by
buying when and wherever an opportu-
nifty presents itself.
Our quotations are as follows: Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Virginia full blood,
75as0c; { blood, 75a771c; blood, 70a
75c; common and blood, 65a6Sc: New
York, Michigan and Vermont full blood,
65a70c, according to condition; some ex-
ira heavy not worth more than 60c;
blood, 65a60c / blood, 62a65c; common

673c; medium, 60a63e; coarse, 55a5sc.
These prices are also modified material
IL by the condition; We know of West.
ern heeces which could not be bought
at these figures, and are, in fact. worth
more on account of their condition, and
we would earnestly recommend the
farmers of Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa to
take pains with their Wool, and bring it
to market in better condition, and place
it alongside of the best grown Wool in
the country.-Economist, 14th
