WHITE HOUSE ANECDOTES. = Some good
stories are told of the Irishman Edward, for
many years doorkeeper at the White House.
Edward went with Fillmore to look at a car
riage which the necessities of some Southern
magnate had thrown upon the market.
"Well, Edward" said the President, "and
how will it do for the President of the United
States to buy q second hand carriage?"
And sure, yer excellency, and ye're only a
second hand President, We know"
Mr.. Fillmore took the joke, but not the car
riage. tee -.flelt st
This anecdote was told me by Mr.. Lincoln,
and was called up by the following:
One dark and rainy evening we had got as
far as the door, on our way to Gen. McClellan's
headquarters, without an umbrella, and Ed
ward was sent back after one, the President
telling him where he might find it. In q few
minutes he came back announcing fruitless
search and adding:
"Sure, yer excellency, aud the owner must
have come for it"
The President laughed heartily and Edward
found us another umbrella.

one of The leading wool States. Lot
there be Il union among our wool
growers, and let them only send
their wool in good condition 10
market, and all such will receive u.
creased prices, while those who oon.'
tinuc 0 put up their wool in dirty,
bad condition, will soon find little
or no sale for their feeces. One
thing is very certain, these last will
receive far less profits than the
former
Let not any one suppose we in,
tend to disparage Merino sheep, far
from it; we only caution the people
against buying at high prices heavy
shcarers of that class ofsheep which
may be brought here from tho
North. Wool growing in Texas
may be rendered very profitable,
either with the Merino, Or the Cots
wold, or other long-wooled sheep.
The area of the State is estimated
at 75,594,560 acres, of which
only 2,75S, 443 acres are improved,
according to the census Of 1880, and
20,486, 900 are reported ip<addition
as unimproved. We presume this
includes all on which taxes were
then paid. 1t is probable that near
ly 100, 900, 600 acres of Texas lands
remain unsoId, most of which is in

combatants were found in the silent
