Italy in the First Battle.

Those newspapers that are in the habit

clare the Italians had met with their

about it, and nothing like it. Such ex-
aggeration is very absurd and very mis-

and held their ground until overpowersd
by being outnumbered. Even then they
were net badly beaten, if we may rely
upon our latest dispatches. They re-
treated in good order, having made pris-

Preparing wool FOB MARKET.

Producers of wool will consult their
0Rt interests by acting on the following
remarks, from the Detroit Post: Frmers.
when unWashed wool is spoken Of, are
very apt to place too literal q construction
upon the term. Commercially speaking,
it means the wool of sheep that have
been wash ed and then allowed TO run too
long before clipping. They should be
clipped within seven or ten days of wash
ing at the outside. If not, although
the wool may look clean and nice-Owing
to the removal of the dirty, dingy parti-
cles by water-the oily accumulation will
be so great that the fleece will be actually
heavier than If taken of without wash
ing. Farmers should not be deceived by
the light color and clean appearance of
the fleece in such cases. because, so far
as appearance is concerned the oil will
make no difference, should eAer 80 great
q quantity be present. From wool in
which the above Objectionable charac-
istic is present, buyers insist upon de-
Quoting ons-thiTd of the market value OF
wool in good condition. It will therefore
be seen that the point is one worthy the
serious attention of the grower. From
bucks feeees in fair condition, one-third
will be deducted, and from bucks feeces
unwashed. one-half. The practice has
been INDUCED in to some little extent Of
taking "tags,'' and the Heeces of dead
sheep, aud putting them inside of good
feecea. This is a glazing fraud, and i
detected the entire lot, goou and bad, viii
be classed and treated as unWashed.
Another Teprehensible practice, here
tofore adve<ted to is that using BLACK
twine, or inordinats quantities, either
white or black. The proper way is to ii,
up Hesces with light flexible twine, o
which two strings each way is amply
sufficient. The leaving of three or foul
yards of material dangling is careless
practice, and should be avoided. In the
case of good wool tied up badly, sucl
large deductions as these above adverted
to are not insisted on, but at all events
two to three cents difference will be mad
"a difference worthy the attention o
our farmsrs, especially if the marke
should rule a little dull, in which cas-
nice wool neatly put up, will be sure of
market, whether anything else sells o
not,

A LITTLE orF1oE OF TRUST.

"Yes, No. 225; you know that is a
good way from the pOstofice, and my
mails are great trouble to me; really
need penny post; how would you like
to be one?''
''First rate" said Joseph; "but," he
added, glsncing down upon himself, as
if his clothes were drawback to promo
ton.
"Oh. your coat will do very well, .

Joseph Strengthened up and looked
every inch man four feet nine inches
high. She might trust him-to be sure
she might.
'And will give you penny for every
letthr you find in Box 1874"
Mrs. L. had no difficulty after this in
getting her letters in early season, but
Joseph scorned to take the pennies.
Strange what effect little confidence
had in the school-rooml It fairly made
Joe over. He could go in and out quiet
ly. sit still in his chair, and mind his bu-
siness like q man. He was as good a
boy as ever need be for q whole term,
and then he was promoted to a higher
department.
No child always suspected, or disap-
proved, or disliked, however he may de-
serve it, will ever become good. No
heart set at distance from stronger or
better heart will ever be persuaded, or
driven, or won to its duty. It is human
nearness, and warmth, and sympathy that
the wsywagd want; and it often takes but
tri1e to save as well as to ruin a little
tFansgressor.
A child's wsywardness is very often
not so much a wicked spirit as it is an
outlet of the restlessness of childhood; and
it is many times cured by diVerting
thought or giving occupation to an I'M
employed faculty. A whole term of dis
comfort and disadvantage was prevented
by giving Joseph little Office of trust;
he was proud of the service, and his gal
laGtry made him, both for his teachers
sake and his own, ambitious of good be-
havior as apupil.

Some time ago the Tennessee State Sen
ate ratified the Constitutional Amend
ment, and the public have been anxiously
expecting TO see the lower house concur.
It has been impossible, so far, to get a
quorum of the latter together. Aud it
now transpires that President Johnson is
engaged in the degrading business of US
ing his influence to prevent the presence
of quorum for the express purpose of
defeating the adoption of the amendments.
A special dispatch from Washington to
the Missouri Democrat says that for the
past two days, Mr.. Cooper, the Presi-
dents Private Secretary, has not hesita-
ted to boast that Mr.. Johnson has game d
the control of the Tennessee Legislature,
and will neglect no means of retaining it.,
and thus prevent quorum from assemb-
ling. His avowed object is to defeat the
ratification of the constitutional amend
ments, which would secure the restora-
ton Of the State on the Congressional
plan.

The ways of some men are past find

conceit. This seems to be the fate of H.
J. Raymond, one of the Congressman
from New York City. From the promi-
hence he had attained as editor of the N.
Y. Times, and as politician. his advent
in Congress was hailed with delight by
Republicans everywhere, and much was
expected Of him. But his course in that
body has been nothing less than failure.
He has shown lack of spinal strength
throughout. He has game d celebrity on
ly as shallow pated demsgogue. When
the storm between Congress and the Pres
ident first arose, to the surprise of all,
H. J. Raymond was seized with Andy
ism. And later he Joined in the call for
the JOhnson-6eward Copperhead conven-
ton at Philadelphia. Finding, ia a few
days, that this Was not probably very
strong move, he csnged his coat again,
admitting, in the House. that he had done
wrong. and hencefOrth t here would be no
more endorsements Of the Philadelphia
convention by himself or the Times.
