Wool in New York.

We have to report continued dull.
ness in the market for domestic
wool, with, however, no perceptible
change in prices. There is a limited
demand for choice fleece, while the
low grades are but little sought
after. As to the future, there are
so many depending contingencies,
touching the extent of the new clip,
the course Of the goods market, the
crops, &C., that the trade are at
loss to know how to proceed with
any degree ofsafety. "The FUTURE"
writes a prominent firm, sis any
thing but bright, t,and those manufac
turers who succeed i'll weathering
the storm, may do profitable bus
mess in future years" In the fore
;gn staple, there is even less activity
than in domestic. The bulk of the
receipts since the new tariff went
into operation remain IN bond, and
it is hardly probable that furher
considerable importations will be
made, until such a time as wool
can be purchased abroad sufficient.

ALWAYS LOVE.

Because Loves sigh is but a sigh,
Does it the less Loves heart disclose? |?
Because che rose must fade and die,
Is it the less the lovely rose?
Because black night must shroud the day,
Shall the brave sun no more be gay?
Because chill autumn frights the birds,
Shall we distrust that sp ing will come +?
Because sweet words are only words,
Shall Love for eveImOre be dumb?
Because our bliss is feeting bliss,
Shall we who love forbear to kiss?
Because those eyes of gentle mirth
Must sometimes ease my heart to thrill,
Because the sweetest voice on earth
Sooner or later must be still,
Because its idol is insure, -.
Slallny stropg love the less endurey
All, no! let lovers breath their sighs,
And roses bloom, and music sound,
And passion burn OH liDs and eyes.
And Pleasures world go round;
Let golden sunshine flood the sky,
And let me love or let me die!

cation, if not a development of
some great fact heretofore unknown
to our scientific men.
Mr.. Browne has borne among his
friends and acquaintance a most
excellent character for truthful
ness and honesty Of purpose, and
we, therefore, are the more fully
inclined to believe his statements
relative to his peculiar condition
during the eighty-four days which
he claimed he was under the con-
troll of spirits and receiving his
food at their hands through the
medium of the atmosphere.
Mr.. Brown stated that the spirits
gave him warnlug in time to make
all, the.neeessary- preparations for
leaving this world, that his natural
physical death would take place on
the 2Sth Of February last, but that
his spirit would remain in the body
but strictly under their CONTROL
From the time stated as the period
of his physical death, and for fifty
three days of the time the spirits
had control OF him, he asserted
that he felt no pain-had no desire
to eat, and did not partake of food.
At the end of that time, however,
he said they began to withdraw the
food they were furnishing, and on
the sixtieth day, after a consulta-
ton with a spirit physician from a
higher sphere, they withdrew his
food entil ely and created an appe-
tite, which he was told was to in
duce him to eat and produce a diar-
rhpa that would enable them to
separate the spiritual from the
physical more completely. He
partook of a little coffee and crack
er for three or four days, when a
diarrhGa set in, which continued
up to the time of his death, yester-
day. For the last twenty-one days
Of his existence, we have the as
surance that he neither ate or drank
of anything.
His is most singular case, in
deed, and worthy Of investigation.
For ourselves, we are spiritually
skeptical, but what We have seen
and learned in reference to Mr..
Brown, has produced a desire to
have the matter investigated, and
the result of the investigation Civ
en- to the world.
We understand that the funeral
of Mr.. Brown will take place on
Sunday.

A PRIVATE letter to a business
firm in Cincinnati, from a citizen
of Mississippi, says:
PONToToO, May 2S, 1867.--.It ap-
pears to me that we are getting
from bad to worse every day. The
country certainly is in a terrible
condition, and | don't see any pros
pect Of Improvement. The crop
prospects are very fair, and there
is so much litigation, that it will
take a large percentage of the
products Of the country to pay the
costs Of suits. Taxes, also, are en-
ormOus; and no people can prosper
under all these drawbacks. Add
to all our troubles, that of negro
equality, and it gives the finishing
touch, or impetus, to our down
ward march. Under the Sherman
Reconstruction Bill, the negroes,
and a class of white men who will
affiliate with them, will control the
country. And if we refuse to Or
ganize under that bill, we are
threatened with worse evils. | don't
see how they could make it much
worse. There is considerable diff
ference of opinion among our best
men as to the proper course to be
pursued. Really, we are ship at
sea without rudder or compass; not
knowing whittier we are drifting,
and at the mercy of the elements.
l am more concerned about our po-
litical than our financial affairs.
All we have to do is to work and
toll; try to do right and trust to
Providence. Should the blacks and
mean whites get possession of our
State Government, | don't see how
honest white men are to remain in
the country"

AN INDICATION The elections in
Kentucky and Connecticut afford a
most striking example of the
change which has taken place in
public sentiment, within the last
few months. Kentucky sends nine
members of Congress. In the last,
or thirty ninth Congress, five of
these were Democrats and four
were radicals. At the election held
a few days since, for members of
the fortieth Congress, the Demo
Gratis elected all nine of the mem
bers.
Connecticut, in the 39th Con-
gress, was represented by four rad
icals, the whole delegation being
radicals. At the election held in
April, for members of the fortieth
Congress, the Democrats elected
three, and the radicals one. Thus
we have a gain of four members in
Kentucky and three in Connecti-
cut, making an aggregate gain of
seven members IN these two States;
and in the vote in the House OF
Congress, difference of fourteen.
At this rate, if a few more States
were yet to elect members of the
fortieth Congress, we might conf
IDENTIFY anticipate a Democratic
majority in that body [Chillicothe
Advertiser.
The Maysville (Ky.) Bulletin
makes very serious charge against
one of our Cincinnati contractors,
through whose alleged fraudulent
work several felons were enabled
to make their escape from one of
the county jails. The charge is that,
instead of using SOLID bars Of iron,
gas pipes, filled with lead or some
other soft materially was used. There
must be some mistake or willful
misrepresentation in the statement
of this case. We do not think,
much as we dislike the politics of
the person charged with having
imposed this alleged fraudulent
work on his employers, that he
would be guilty OF such trick We
shall await futher developments.

"MACK," the correspondent of
the C0mnaerciaJ, is thus frank to
admit the great evil which has been
done in the South by the Radical
agitators feeding the minds Of the
negroes with hopes of confiscation.
He says: Ha.
"Here, as elsewhere throughout
the South, great mischief has been
done by feeding the negroes upon
the false hope OF corfiscation. The
other day, at little town some dis
tance from here, a Radical negro
meeting was held. There three
speakers-one white and two color
ed---each of whom was sensible
enough to say that if the eolored
man wanted land he must work for
it, and earn it, and not hope to get
it in any other way. The darkies
didn't like this at all; they cursed
the speakers in ate.--the color.
ed ones especially---whom they
denominated mean Y ankee niggers,
(they were New Workers. and said
they wouldn't come to any more
meetings to hear such talk as that.
They knew better; they knew they'd
get land without working for it;
just wait and see if they didn't"

The Fortuues of OurPresidents.


Some one has collected information in
egard to the fortunes left by the dead and

efferson died poor. Indeed, if Congress
\ad not purchased his library, giving him
We times its value, he would with d1t1cul-
have kept the wolf from his door. Mad
on saved his money, and was compara-
lively rich. To add to his fortune, or rather
hat of his widow, Congress purchased his
manuscript papers, and paid $4,000 for
ynem. james Monroe, the sixth President
# the United States, died so poor that his
Temains found aresting place through the
harity of his friends. They remain In
emetery, but no announcement MARKS the
pot where they repose. John. Quincy
idams left some $5O,O00, the result of in
s:ustry, prudence and inheritance. He was
man of method and economy. Martin
Van Buren died rich. Throughout his po-
litical life he studiously looked out for his
own interest. James X. Polk left about
$150,O00. $5O0O0 of which was saved from
his Presidency of four years. John
Tyler left $4,000. Before he was Presi-
dent he was bankrupt. In office, he hus-
banded his means, and then married rich
wife. Zachary Taylor left $l60,O00. Mil
lard Fillmore is a wealthy man. Franklin
Pierce saved $4,000 from his term of SER
vice. James Buchanan, who is bachelor,
and saves all he gets, is estimated to be
source we learn that Henry Clay left a very
handsome estate. 1t probably exceeded
100000. He was prudent manager, and
scrupulously honest man. Daniel Web

time, the product of his professional specu-
lation. He died leaving his property to
his children, and his, debts to his friends.

tt- From thelUrbana Union
Taxes and Money Interest.

The average rate of taxes in Ohio is two
per cent. on the assessed value of property
listed. The lawful interest of money be-
ing six per cent, one-third of the income
is taken to pay taxes. 1t is the same with
rents. One-third of the rent is consumed
inpaying taxes. The people who wish to
shirk che payment of taxes call in their
debts and put their money in Government
bonds; and the taxes they shirk are borne
by other people. Mr.. Sham Loyal has
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars of
Government, bonds and he saves three
thousand dollars a year in taxes, which
his neighbors have to pay for him. This
lis the case with our State and county
taxes. 5DdLL ,fEW ~
But TO enable the United States to let the
bond-holder go free of tax, the people have
to bear a tax on every thing they wear,
every thing they eat, and every thing they
do. They must pay twenty millions a year
to the Chase banks for the trouble of giving
US three hundred millions of shinplaster
money. They must pay one hundred and
twenty millions a. year to keep an army,
black and white, at the South, to give the
people republican government. The bonds
must be taxed-must be taxed, and taxed
at the full rate of one-third of5the interest,
as the people of Ohio are taxed. And we
must have Legislature that viii represent
the people--tlte people and mot act as mere
toadies to a whisky Congress- bas .3, 63isT5

Republican members of the last Legislature

favoring reputation, which originally ap-
peared in the Ne,c York Tribune written
by New Jersey radical, to his tavorite
paper. The writer looks upon failure to
pay the National debt as matter of course,
unless the creditors of the Government take
the bonds of the United States in payment,
or refusing that, they absolutely relinquish
the whole debt. These propositions the
writer presses strongly, for says he, "whO
ever heard of nation paying the principal
of debt of three thousand millions ?' 3,

those Radical sheets who charge the De-

the National debt, because they insist that
the wealth of the country, invested in
bonds at higher rate of interest than the
laws of Ohio allow her citizens, should

AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY Y

3 .a % WALTHAM, MASS. asl y

THIS Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their
fac ory now covers four acres of ground, and has
cost ore than million dollars, and employs over
700 operatives. They produce 900 Watches .
year aud make and sell not less than half of all
the Watches sold in the United States. ~
The difference between their manufacture and
the European, is briefly th:s:r European Watches
are made almost entirely 6yAond. nd the result is
of necessity lack of that uniformity which is in
dispensable to correct time-keeping. Both the Q e
and the hand of the most skillful operative must
vary. But it is fact that, except Watches of the
higher grades, European Watches the product
of the cheapest labor of Switzerland and the result
is the worthless Ancres Lepines and so called Pat
ent Levers-which SEQ cost more in attempted re-
pairs, th an their original price. Common orkmen,
boys and women, buy the rough separate parts of
these hes from various factories, polish and
put them together, and take them to the nearest
Watch merchant. who stamps and epgraves them
with any name or brand that may be ordered .',
HO W AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.
The Am erican Waltbam Watch is made by no
such un certain process-and by no such ineompe-
tent workmen. All the Company's operations from
the reception of the materials to the completion
of the Watcu, ,are carried under one r of, and
under one skillful and competent direction. But
the great distinguishing feature of their Watches
is thetant that their several parts all made by
the finest the most perfect and de- icate machinery
ever brought to the aid of human industry. Every
one of the moro than hund' ed parts of every
Watch is made by machine-that infallibly re-
produces every succeeding part with the most un-
varying accuracy. 1t was only necessary to make
one perfect Watch of any particular style and then
to adjust the hundred machines necessary to re-
produce every part Of that W atch. and it follows
that every succeeding Watch must be like it.
The Company respectfully submit their Watches
on their merits only They claim o make III,

The Anti-Liccnse Clause i'm the
Ohio Constitution Repealed by
n Law of Congress.

The United States District Court of Iowa.
has decided adversely to the liquor sellers
in that State, who claimed that because the
United States internal revenue provides fol
liquor licenses, the State prohibitory liquor
law is of no effect.
If this decision is sustained it virtually
repeals the section of the Constitution OF
Ohio which declares that mo license to
traffic in intoxicating liquors shall hereaf-
ter be granted in the State"
AS Congress has set aside almost every
section in the Constitution of the United
States, it is not to be wondered at that they
claim by their laws the right to repeal
State Constitutions. Ei .l--- IL ID ~. .. il
