BOsTON Wool MARKET.-The wool
market has been more quiet during the
past week; but the demand continues fair.
and the little advance lately realized for
some desirable grades, is well sustained.
The large transactions noted in our last
report, which were partly of a speculative
character, have had the effect to concen-
trate the supply of medium and choice
fleece woods in the hands of few large
dealers, who are now holding for higher
prices.
But manufacturers, who have purchased
freely of late, and whose wants are tempo
rarily supplied, are very slow to respond
to this demand, for the reason that their
products are not yet called for, and cannot
be placed at margin which will warrant
them IN paying higher prices for wool.
Hence there is some difference of views
between buyers and sellers in regard to the
value OF those grades of staple which are
in short supply, and the former are turn
ing their attention to such cheap substi-
tutes, in the line of California, Texas and
pulled woods, as they may be able to pick
in this and New York markets.
Some of them are also looking at fine
foreign woods: but these are held as much
above their views as the full blooded grades
of domestic
The impossibility of obtaining supplies
of low and medium fleece is compelling
buyers to take hold of Western and New
York extras; and these, being in good sup
ply, are selling freely at rates which vary
but little from week to week. Worsted
and delaine manufactures continue to scour
the mar ket for grades adapted to their pc
culiar class of fabrics, and everything in
the shape of combing wool is very quick of
sale at relatively high prices.
Pulled woods continue to arrive quite
freely, and all well grown and good condi,
toned lots of super are taken as last as re.
celved. Extras are also in better demand
and well sold up. In fact all grades of do,
nestle wool are wanted, and going into
consumption at rate which renders il
quite certain that the next clip must come
upon bare market.
Sales of domestic, for the week, foot uI
some ,25O, 900 lbs. at range of 45(065C
tor fleece, and 42(956c for pulled.

But even if these things were not
so, the whole ground which | claim is
surrendered when James Carroll ad-
mits that it is only the Bible with

Catholics are ever allowed to read.
Here are two books. One of them is
the word of God. The other is the
word OF God with such Roman Catho-
lie mangling, mutilation, and eXplana-
lions, that it is calculated to make a
different impression on the mind from
that which is made by the unadulter-
ated word of God. Is not that so
If it is so, then my position is main
tanned, aud Roman Catholics are not
allowed TO read the Bible. If it is
not so, and the two books are adapt
ed TO make the same impression on
the mind, why are not the two books
permitted to have the same circula
ton ? The truth is that the two books
are not the same, and it is just be
cause the unmixed and unmutiIateC

ing young gentleman, q native and ''to the

conversation. He told me much of Chicago
it's past and future. I occasionally men,
toned Cincinnati as a place of some i'm
portance. I finally changed the subject
from cities to the eclipse, remarking,
we watched the sun: "That is almost a
total eclipse"

found that he was the only son, and the heir

The only other remarkable thing that [ no

The Prince of Wales Repents.
From the Boston Post


The Prince of Wales announced in the
speech he made at the cattle show in Man
chester, that he had turned over a new Leaf
in the volume of his life, and intended in
future to give his attention solely to the
interests and government of his people,
This is understood to mean that he will
SOW no more wild oats, and is received with
the highest tokens of appreciation by his
countrymen. Wales is old enough and,
according to all accounts, bad enough to
repent. He has dissipated for many years,
associated with notorious profigates, and
brought scandal upon the families OF
prominent people in the kingdom Mrs.
Mordaunt, for example; and it is but q
short time since the daughter of an Eng
lish Earl was associated with the Princes
name in the most scandalotls manner.
The Queen and Princess of Wales have
had their gentle hearts lacerated by his
shocking going-ons; once his mother boxed
his ears in public for Sabbath and
unquestionably he has had frequent and
iustifable curtain lectures when he has
slept at home Taking low comic singers
into his house, carousing with Schneider al
the Star and Garter, raking about Paris,
refusing to atterd public dinners and call
ing speeches bore, gambling with ST. Al
( bans, cleaning out NewcaStle-these are
but some of the offenses attributed to him.
If he is sorry, however, and does so nc
more, Parliament may vote him an extra
allowance, and his people come to regard
him witlrthe respect they would be glad to
show, notwithstanding the radical on
slaughts upon royalty and the Queens Mes
sengers diatribes against the princes of the
blood.

AN EXTRAORDINARY ASPIRATION
Fire Bird on the JachstaH of a
Steamboat.
From the Cairo Bulletin, Aug. Il.


We have been placed in possession of the
details of story which we should treat as
the workings of disordered imagination,
were it not that clear headed and collected
gentlemen assure us of their truth. They
are as follows
During the storm that preceded the
eclipse, a fire bird, about the size of full
grown eagle, perched itself on the top OF
the jackstaff on the steamer Gen. Ander-
son. Its shape was well and sharply de-
fined and from its outlines there emanated
constant luminous or phosphoreseent rays
or jets. When this strange apparatlon
perched upon the jackstaff, and how it dis
appeared, are not known to q single in
dividual on the boat. We were at first dis
posed to believe it an optical illusion,
but this idea was dissipated by the
assurance that it maintained its position
during an interval of fifteen or twenty min
utes "a sufficient length of time to allow OF
deliberate view and study Of all the de-
tails. The entire crew on watch saw it,
the more superstitous portion declaring it
an ill-omen. This portion firmly believing
that the fiery visitor came to warn them OF
the burning of the boat came ashore at
Cairo in state Of almost pitiable trepida-
ton, feeling that they had made narrow
escape indeed.
What this ignigenous object was we shall
not attempt to say It is something new
in the history of inland navigation. Nearly
every astonishing marine yarn we ever
read was embellished with description OF
luminous balls of light that settled on the
tips of the main-mast; but weil-defned and
undoubted fre-birds on the jackstaffs OF
Mississippi steamers have been preserved
for this age o. earthquakes, eclipses, me,
teors, and unnatural wonders generally.
