C0mical Evasion of an Absurd
! ~----.-1 Law. 80


One of the most comical instances of the
triumph of routine and .red-tape over the
commonest common sense may be seen
daily and hourly on the Cony Island Rail-
road, over on Long Island. This is a branch
road connecting with the several horse
railroads which take Greenwood as their
objective point, and this branch conveys
eXcursionists from the point of transfer at
the cemetery to the fond welcomes of the
clam compelling landlords of the sands of
Cony. Ii appears that in some remote age
the Long Island farmers secured the pas
sage of an Albany law-or the insertion of
a provision in some railroad charter-or
some other restrictive regulation some-
where, somehow-providing that all rail-
roads within the city limits shall be horse
roads. They did not, ot,however, think to incor-
porate in the same law a clause that the cars
should not be run by steam as we'll; so that
now we have the curious, comical and in
structive spectacle of train of passenger
cars drawn by dummy locomotive engine,
but with frisky five-dollar horse gaily
galloping in front SO far as the magic line
which separates the city from the country.
The only duty the sweating solitary steed
has to perform is to keep ahead of the train,
which-as the cars are not permitted to
run more than six miles an hour at the
fastest-isl not so difficult for horse, even
if he was not born and bred a races. When
the outgoing cars have reached the city
line, the cheerful, champing charger is re-
leased, and browses for a while at his ele-
CANT leisure. Presently Coney Island sends
a freight of returning excursionists, clam
gorged, who are taken in charge at the
said city line by the dummy-engine cars
and the law fulfilling quadtuped, and con-
voyed safely into town. This particular
dummy G-epgine isssid to be 60-horse power,

Market for Wool andfWOOIen

1t is pleasing and refreshing from th,
former nohotony of;wool reports, to fint
the United States Economist and other pa.
pers at least as favorable to wool manufac.
/ turcrs as to wool growers interests, tha,
the bottom is at length reached, and thai
wool will very soon command a bette,
price. The wool manufacturers have Sc
cured a large proportion 6f the clip Of 1861
at their own prices, thus enabling them to
have the wool Gas usual) ON low average,
| If they pay for the balance, within ten peT
cent. of what it will cost them to import its
equal. This average enabled them to Sc
cure themselves against loss by selling their
remaining, undesirable, old manufactures,
that they have on hand, thus leaving the
wool grower bear. the decline or loss on
their unsold goods.5na .ha'1 hI" N ~
There was a combination of circumstance
es tending to place mAny of the growers in
heipower of the manufacturers, and the
latter were not slow to benefit themselves
by the surrounding circumstances. (This
is not unnatural.) Farmers are in the same
category with many others, not being able
10 decrease their expenses, requiring mon
ey to pay their current expenses, taxes,
&C., &c. Aovast majority of the wool
growers throughout the country, having
nothing else to sell (preyious to the grain
harvest) than accept the price offered by
wool manufacturers, THUS virtually COM
peiiing them TO pay part of the whole of
the loss that wool manufacturers are like
ly to sustain on the balance of their too
heavy manufactures of undesirable
and unsaleable woolens, at the same
time with essing that desirable new
patterns and styles of cashmere,
&c., are higher than they have
been for months, though manufactured but
very. recently and from wool at low prices
and less than it cost the American growers
to produce it, and at lower price than the
manufacturer can import its equal; whilst
the American manufacturer is better pro-
tected and benefited by our recent tariff
than the wool grower. Wool equal to our
fine American cannot be imported at less
than 81 to 40 cents per secured pound, al
lowing our brook-washed to lose 40 per
cent. in securing it, it is worth 60 to 90
cents per pound-unwashed in same pro-
portion. 60 to IS cents, as in quality, will
pay the American wool grower to produce
fine ibrook-washed wool; 55 cents per
pound will not pay in Middle and Eastern
States at the present rates of taxation, and
other necessary expenses. 20 i't
The wool manufacturer nor any other
American citizen can be benefited by con-
tinnous ruinous depression of the Ameri-
can grown wool market, nor can the Amer
lean agriculturist, manufacturer or miner.
lt is necessary for the complete prosperity
of the United States that all the different
American agriculture, manufactures and
mining and all other Industrial interests
being profitably and steadily engaged at
their several vocations. j. Med. GLENN.

A Curious Divorce Case In Prussia

ACuriOuS Divorce Case In Prussia.
A single example will explain what
things are even now possible. A married
lady, mother of several children, living in
entire harmony with her husband, an ami
able, easy gentleman, hears at church an
enthusiastic young preacher and is enrap-
tured by his eloquence. On her return
home she tells her husband how thoroughly
the preachers words have come to her
heart; and that she is quite persuaded it
would conduce to her spiritual perfection
to be married to him; and if she can get his
consent. she hopes that her husband will
not oppose divorce. What. amount OF
urgency served to disgust the husband into
agreement is not public fact. No man
can like to feel that he is keeping wife
against her will, and to be reproached with
hindering her spiritual improvement. That
the husband did consent, and that the court
thereupon did, without further inquiry,
sanction the divorce, is a public fact also
that the preacher made no difficulty about
accepting the enthusiastic lady with her
dowry and children. We have since heard,
but from one informant only, that, after
many years of union; the preacher in turn
sought and gained divorce from his wife,
and that she is now gone back to her first
husband.-F'rdzer's Magazine for august.
