Cashmere Goats.

Its officially reported from the
Pals exhibition, (Sce July Monthly
Report, Am. Dep. Ag. that the very
finest Cashmere ready for making
into shawls, sells in France at only
$1,000 per pound, of which purchasers
in this country will please take note
The report says, from all that can be
learned, the raising of Cashmeres
and manufactures of the woods and
hair may be made more profitable in
this country than in Europe. The
report adds, that the reported price
of $500 to $500 per pound for Cash
emcre wool is rather above real val
ue. M
A Cashmere animal yields at q
clip from 4 to 8pounds. The females
usually bring two kids at birth.
Full bred males cost about 100000,
and common goats are used for break
ing stock.

The IRIDoscopE Tho Iridoscope
is the name given to a new lnstru>
ment which has recently been invent,
ed, and by the aid of which an indi-
vidual is able to see all that is going
on in his own eye It is simply an
Opaque shell to cover the eye, pierced
in the centre with very small hole.
On looking through steadfastly at
the sky, or any diffused light, the
observer may watch the tears stream
over the globe of the eye, note the
dilation and contraction of the iris,
and even see the aqueous humor
poured in when the eye is faugued
by long observation. It is needs
less to say, by the aid OF this instru-
ment man can easily find out
whether he las cataract or not
IF he has, he will only see a sort OF
veil covering tho luminous disc,
which is certainly simple and Gu
rious, aud no doubt excites attention
in those who are anxious to know
more ofthemselvcs An "lridoscope'
that will give very good idea OF
what a more perfect instrument can
accomplish, may be readily extem>
ported by making a hole with fine

New York Prison Association Report.

We alluded last week TO the above
Association, in an article in relation
to our Prison The report of the
commissioners of that Association,
appointed for the purpose Of exam
ming the prisons Of the country, with
view TO a revisal of the prison sys-
tenn of New York, is before US; and
as the work abounds in favorable no
tees of our prison and its officers, we
cannot forbear giving a few extracts.
In speaking of the Prison officers the
report says:
1--WE are glad to record the fact
that our American penitentaries can
boast of some noble officers at the
head OF their affairs, men who woGld
grace the position in any country /;
among whom | cannot forbear to
name Mr. Haynes, Of Massachusetts,
Mr.. Rice, Of Maine, Mr.. Holloway, of
Pennsylvania, Mr.. Prentice, of Ohio,
and Mr.. Cordies, of Wisconsin"
OF our prison the report says -
This prison is situated ut Waupun,
and may be pronounced, in all re-
speels, one Of the finest prisons in
the United States $ ana after giving
a detailed description OF the prison
grounds and buildings il concludes
thus 1t is thus seen thar the Wis
consin State Prison Is Of the most
durable material throughout, well
built well appointed, and suhstan-
tial 10 all respects 1t is also the
most orderly, and the most neatly
kept Of all the western prisons visit,
cd by us.
LII speaking OF the treatment of
convicts, the report las the follow
ing most complimentary notice Of
our prison The careful reader viii
not have tail to have noticed, rs he
followed the thread OF this report,
that the methods Of convict treat
meat pursued by the Wisconsin State
Prison, are, 10 general, more natural
more IN harmony with that which
men receive in free society, than per
haps those employed II any other

SENATOR SHERMAN ON TAXES
Senator sherman made speech mt
Canton, Ohio, few days since, in
which the treated at some length the
questions Of finance and currcnency.
He chaslised the party Of Reputation
in Il wholesale manner, and exposed
the consequences of an imitation Of
the currency as proposed by Pend :
Teton, (and echoed by Mr. Allen Of
this State quite clearly.
On the question Of taxation Mr..
Sherman sets out with the following
remark
"'fhc general principle Of our tax
law is to collect AZ much as possible
from duties on imported goods
] The reasons are that snch taxes are
most easily collected in the seaboard
cities, and mainly at the single port
Of New York. Tey are mainly upon
articles Of lurury, sach as siIkS, broad
cloths and iCiaeS, aad are pdidJy HoSt
most able to pay. To the extent that
taxes are levied upon articles that
may be manufactured here, they pro
tect our own industry. and thus di-
versify our products and increase oul
wealth"
