THE COST OF RAISING WOOL.

At the late meeting of the Ohio Wool
Growers Association at Columbus, an in
teresting discussion took place relative to
the cost per pound of producing WOOL
Great diversity of opinion was developed.
The first proposition was to state the cost
of production of merchantable brook
washed wool at ninety cents on the follow
ing basis: Cost of sheep, five dollars per
head; cost of land, sixty-fve dollars per
acre; cost of grain, fifty cents per bushel;
five hundred sheep on two hundred acres
of land, with two attendants; increase Of
flock, two hundred per year; income tax
counted; no credit to return to land from
manure. The general statement was that
these estimates were too high. Men would
invest in land at three per cent dividend,
when they would demand six for any other
investment-and so in proportion. fwool
could be sold at from fifty to eighty cents
during the rebellion, and make fair profit
it might be sold now as low as eighty cents.
One gentleman contended that one man
can take care of five hundred sheep, doing
all the work necessary to keep enclosures
in order, and raise and take care Of feed
for them. He could raise wool at fair
profit at fifty cents per pound, paying
hands two dollars per day. He was salts
fed that majority Of wool growers in Ohio
could raise wool at fifty cents per pound.
After considerable discussion, the Associ-
alton voted seventy-five cents per pound.

THE TWO GLASSES.

The New York correspondent of the
Springfield Republican has the following
description of the young men of that city
who attend balls:
Pale, bald, with poor physiques, frivo-
lous, dissipated, inane, one yard of tape to
three of cotton, written over their faces,
they are the weakest specimens of human
ity that one can see in any quarter of the
globe. l know of no more disheartening
sight than to contemplate three of them
in line. 'The masculine world is made
up of two classes" said a clever young
lawyer, very much disguised at being de-
serted for ''dancing man"-'fhose with
brains and those with heels, and 1 find
that the latter have the inside track with
the ladies'" ''The feminine world is made
up of two classes" replied lady-"those
with brains and those with pretty faces,
and find that the latter are favorites with
the men!w "You are right, and SO am ], !"
continued the lawyer. "What do you
suppose the next generation will be ?-
"Apesw answered the lady. These two
individuals went home in very happy
frame of mind.

Most people think the selection of mat
ter for a newspaper is the easiest part of
the business. How great an error. 1t is
by all means the most difficult To look
over and over hundreds of exchange pa
pers every day, from which to select
enough for one, especially when it is not
what shall, but what shall not be selected.
If every person who reads newspaper
could have edited it, we should hear less
complaints. Not unfrequently it is the
case that an editor looks all over his ex-
change papers for something interesting,
and can absolutely find nothing. Every
paper is dryer than contribution box,
and yet something is to be had. His pa
per must come out with something in it,
and he does the best he can. To an edi-
tor who has the least care about what he
selects, the writing he has to do is the
easiest part of his labor. Every subscri-
ber takes the paper for his own benefit;
and if there is nothing in it that suits him,
it must be stopped; it is good for nothing.
Just as many subscribers as an editor may
have, so many tastes he has to consult
One wants something sound. One wants
anecdotes, fun and frohc; and the next
one wonders why man of good sense
will put such stuff in his paper. Some
thing spicy comes out and the editor is a
blackguard. Next comes something argu-
mentative, and the editor is dull fool
And SO, between them all, you see, the
poor fellow gets roughly handled. They
never think that what does notplease them
pleases the next man, but they insist, if the
paper does not please them, it is good for
nothinr

ROMANTIC,

Just think of prosaic Connecticut origi-
mating in our day such romance as the
following:
Norwalk is exercised about body
snatchers, who, on Sunday night last dug
up the body of young lady who had been
buried that afternoon, and succeeded be-
yond their anticipations. She had been
buried while in a cataleptic fit, and upon
being exposed to the night air, animation
was restored. The resurrectionists fled,
and she walked home. Her parents re-
fused to admit her, believing her to be a
ghost. She then went to the house of a
young man to whom she was engaged.-
He took her in, and on Monday morning
they were married.

Vallandigham, the irrepressible, attend.
ed the recent Democratic State Ccnven.
ton in Ohio, and of conrse he made 6
speech. Here is his horoscope for next
October;
@He would not promise that the Demo
cratic party would be triumphant In the
approaching election, but as the Republi-
can majority of 10000 in 1864 had been
reduced to $4,000 in 1865, so he believed II
would be diminished this year TO ten or
fifteen thousand"
Val. might have made out a better case
but for that exaggerated modesty which
will yet be the death of him. Had he
merely recalled the facts of his own can
vass for Governor, in 1863, his logic would
have seemed irresistible. Thus:
"In 1863, when I was your candidate for
Governor, We were beaten by the msgnif-
cent majority of loo, 900. In 1864, | was
not on your ticket and you were beaten but
0,000. In 1855, / was still kept of, and
you went under by spitiful $4,000. Now,
II y9u can only manage to keep me wholly
in the background this year, so that the
people will have a chance to forget me, I
think you may white it down to 10000 /;
and IT, you could persuade the voters that
was dead or hsd followed my friends to
Mexico or Brazil, you might even stand q
chance to wfn-who kpows?"-Ne,s PORK

AAAa
Even the Cincinnati Commercial which
was never Republican paper, and which,
since the treachery of the President tc
the party, is the only ablo johnson
paper in the West, finds it necessary to
condemn Secretary McCulloch's violent
attack on Congress in the following
terms:
The Secretary of the Treasury may be
a fnancier of extraordinary ability, but
be is not q politician of remarkable wis
dom. His serenade speech, delivered afew
evenings since, was, in important respects
iniudicious. II was generally supposedthat
he was an earnest supporter of the Presi-
dents policy Of reconstruction. He could
and should have expressed his sentiments
to that effect without manifesting hostili-
tv to those who dissent from them There
was no occasion for him to indulge in re-
marks disrespectfui to Congress. A con-
siderate regard for the general welfare
would have influenced him to give his
own opinions, according to Others, as the
Secretary Of War did, equal honesty with
himself. Especially was it unfortunate
that he should declare hostilities with
Congress, for he must look TO the Legis-
latiTe Department of the Government for
cordial cooperation in order to establish
the success of his financial policy. 1t is
notin human nature that those denounced
by him as aConstitution tinkers' shall
overlook his ~partizanism, see in him only
the Minister Of Finance, and strengthen
his hands for the work that it is essential
shall be done through him. he subjects
himself to criticism and to many vexa
tious advertisements, when by exercis-
ing a sound discretion he could have
maintained as well his personal indepen-
denee, and associated with it all the infu-
euce that his official position l~egitimately
demands Of Congress. The passionate
assault made upon him by Mr.. Stevens,
of Pennsylvania, indicates the temper of
the antagonism that he has excited. The
misfortune is that while this opposition is
personal 10 himself the public interests
will suffer, unless there is the wisdom in
Congress to overlook personalities and
psrtizanism for the sake Of the great
common cause. If this wisdom shall APP
pear, the credit will belong to Congress
and not TO the Secretary.

Otto Won Bismark Schoenhausen, the
Prussian premier, is now the most prom
inent man in Europe-rendered SO not
only by the part which he has taken in
the recent German complications, but by
the late unsuccessful attempt upon his
life, which has redeemed much OF his I'M
popularity by throwing around his char
acter the halo of heroism. He is the
ablest statesman in Europe, and, unfortu-
nately' he is also.the most despotic, reae-
%tionary and anti-republican. He was
born in the province of Brandenburg
IN 1918, and is now f~fty-three years DID,
He studied law in Gottingen, served h
customary term in the army, and entered
upon his political career as a representa-
tive Of the nobility in the assemblyo OF his
~nrovince. In 1871, he was returned to
the aUnited Diet and speedily distin-
guished himself by his ability, eloquence,
and the extreme ~absolutism which he IN
hesitatingly a7owed. He 0 o became
the acknowledged leader of the reaction
airy wing, denouncing and attacking the
liberals with no less vehemence than abil-
ity. When the mighty revolutionary
wave Of Is4s swept all landmarks away,
be withdrew from public life and re-
manned in retirement until the King OF
Prussia had forcibly dissolved the national
assembly. Once more emerging from re-
tirement he was sent excessively to rep
resent his party in the diet of 1s47, and
at the Export Parliament of 1901,
where ne distinguished himself anew as
the uncompromising champion of abso-
lutism, the foe of reform and the opponent
of Germanunity He was soon appointed
Prussian ambassador to the Frankfort
Bundestag. At the abdication of Fred
erick William, in 1861, he became the real
ruler of Prussia, and entered upon his
career as a statesman. Such is the his
tory of the man whose ambition to extend
the power and territory of Prussia is
about to plunge Europe into war.
