LIES THAT ARE MOUNTAINOUS.

Liars present a problem which continually
perplexes us. Why they should lie as they do,
when no obvious end is to be achieved by
their fabrications, even if credited, we shall
never be able to understand. Take the fol-
lowing illustration from late Albany Argus q:
"when the Republicans Of the City of New-York were
making an effort to adjust their little differences, some
time last Winter Greeley visited Washington at the
vtaon Of Grant It was sad but OF that not
tain What we do kno is that the President in and
the President posse had interview, at which the
situation, with all its perpexties and embarrassments,
fully discussed, and II driven into Grant, by
dint OF hard hammering that there could be united
Republican party in New-York so long as Murphy
mained at the receipt OF custom. Thereupon Grant
promised Greeley positively and without the slightest
reservation, that his head should 90 into the basket
when the proper time arrived.
"That time is coming, and Grant will be compelled to
make his word good"
Will it not surprise the reader to learn that
the name of Collector Murphy was ever men,
toned by the President to Mr.. Greeley, or by
the latter to the President, whether in cOnver-
sation or letter, and that the propriety OF
| the Collectors retention or dismissal was never
considered or canvassed between them2 There
is no man on earth who will cOntrovert this
statement or say that Mr.. Greeley ever urged
Gen. Grant. or any friend of Gen. Grant, to
have Collector Murphy's place filled otherwise
than as it is. 1t may or may not be wise fOI
Gen. Grant to retain him; but, should he evel
desire our opinion on that head, he will doubt
less know how to ask for it. We certainly shall
not volunteer it,.
Here is a specimen of the silly lie-a pro.
life brood-which appears ito have originated
in POmeroy's Democrat:
"a prominent farmer In Dodge County, Wisconsin
wrote to Horace Greeley few days since, to ask II tn,
wash from hogpens was good TO put young beets

but did not like it-preferring clder-vinegar. II,
said when he lived in Chautauqua County he was no
particular, but Of late, since he had got book OF
| farming, his lines had been cast In more pleasan
| places"
We suppose there must be demand fo
such trash, or it would not be invented bu

The Gaulois divides the Assembly of France into
seven distinct caucusses as follows: /. The extreme
Left; President, Louis Blame with not more than 20
members at present. large proportion of them
were shot among the victims of the late civil war.
2. The Republican Left sometimes called the
Tennis Court Caucus. The Presidents are
Rameau, the Mayor of Versailles and Lc-
roger, the successor of Arago with 10 mem
bers. 3. The Conservative Republicans President,
Rampon; Secretary, Carnot Ills, 20 members. 4. The
Feray Caucus, of which Mr.. Feray is President with
so members, and which, with Mr.. Saint-Marc Gil
rardin's reunion with it's 100 Orleanist members,
forms what is called the Center. The sixth Caucus
embraces the A0 members of the Right under the
Presidency Of Moulin (du Puy-de-D6mel, half Le-

the two three dozen Bonapartists who have no

The rumors that the Underground Railway
Company had begun operations in Bond-st.
and Madison-ave, and were busily engaged
in undermining the route over which the
eastern branch of the viaduct Road is to run,
prove to be untrue. Excavations were made
at two points, but it does not appear that any
tunnelipg was done. The Underground Road
cannot, therefore, be looked upon as dan
gerous rival to the Yiaduct, and the energies
and money of the people will not be wasted
in building rival roads where no present room
for rivalry exists.

The Boston drertiser prints, in interesting pri-
vate letter from Rome, an account of the perform

the Jesuit, was represented, TO the mixed delight
and indignation of the auditors, as bilious green of
complexion, hollow of eye, scanty and greasy of
hair, with the point of his tied up with a
thread, giving an air of the most reeking yulgarity
to the whole countenance" We are not surprised at
this for the Society of Jesus in frequent anagonism
with the Papacy, which it has served well if not
wisely has always been unpopular in Rome. With

A Washington dispatch informs us that
the Civil Service Commission is puzzled to
know how far public opinion will sustain
it in any radical reforms and how much
of political platform utterances on the
subject is mere clap-trap. The members
of the Commission may be assured that
the public (outside of the mere trading poll
ticians) will sustain the radical reform in the
Civil Service which is needed Furthermore,
much of the platform elocution on this sub
ject is doubtless clap-trap; but for that matter
much more concerning other subjects is OF the
same sort.

The Young Mems Republican Association Of

series of stirring resolutions was adopted,
and some good speeches were delivered. The
Association, true TO its professions, made no
attempt at a new party organization, but

induce harmony in the Republican ranks-a
purpose in the prosecution of which all honest
Republicans will give them good-speed.

The long talked-of and Often-postponed re-

took place yesterday, one hundred thousand

no significance. We have no notice that any

AN uncommon excitement
pervades at present the usually

and goods made of wool IN this
country. The cause is the sud-
den rise in the price of the
staple, which commenced some

pears not as yet to have reach
ed its full limit. Common
Mexican wool, which used to
sell at from IS TO 20 cents a
pound, is selling at from 30 to
80 cents. Carpet woods, usual
ly quoted at 80 cents gold, are
held at 374 cents. Cape woods
have gone up from 35 cents to
40 cents; Australian wool from
42 cents to so cents; and what
are called extra fleeces which
are a standard in the wool
markets, like middlings in the
cotton market are quoted at
from 61 10 81 cents, as against
AZ to so cents six weeks since.
Even shearings, which are the
short wools which grows on
sheep between the time other

slaughtering in the fall, and
are used for making hats, sell
