Wool and WOOlens.
From tho BufFalo Advertiser

In view OF the fact that efforts are
being made to redt,co the rate of duty
on the inportations OF foreign wool and
woolens, it will be of interest to know
what this trade amounts to, and, also,
which are the greatest wool producing
countries. The Paris Journal des
Economics, in recent article on this
subject, places the whole wool clip of
the world in 1871 at 1,121, ,519, 900
pounds Of 454 grammes each. From
the Journals tabular statement it an
pears that the United States is at the
head of the wool-producing countries. |
In 1871 our clip amounted to III, ,OOO,- |
600 pounds. England stands next on
the list, having furnished 159, 969, 600 !
colony, Australia, is only 9,400, 900
pounds behind the mother country in
the quantity of wool produced, and
ranks third. Australia's clip was 152,-
soc, 600 pounds. The La Platte region
of South America comes next, and is
set down for 500, 600 pounds. The
product of Russia; was 80, 760, 600
pounds. That of France 81, lie, 600
pounds that of, SPAIN u, ,438, 900
pounds, an6 that of Germany 50, 08O,-
600 pounds. .:
One would naturally suppose that
the immense quantity of IN, 900, 900
pounds of wool would have been suf-
ticient to satisfy all of our wants but
such was very far from being the case.
During the year 1871 our factories con-
sumed, in addition to the home product
78, 249, ,089 pounds of foreign WOOL
making total Of 255,249, 600 pounds
Within the past-f lew years the woolen
manufactures of this county have been
increasing very rapidly. At the close
of the war nearly all Of them were To-
i Gated within the limit of the New Eng
land States. Since that time. however,
they have been moving Westward, until
Middle States, not uncommon at the
West, while several factories have been
established South of the Ohio River.
In some of the older factories the art of
manufacturing cloth has been carried
to high state of perfection. Indeed,
much Of the cloth exhibited on the
counters of our clothiers bearing for.
eign trademarks, and which is held at
extravagant prices, never doated on
salt water. The foreign brand is an
invention of the trade to satisfy the
: whims of those Americans who can
never be suited with any article that ia
not foreign. But, large as must have
the quantity of voolen fabrics manu-
factnred from 255, 249, 900 pounds OF
wool, it was not nearly sufficient to
meet the demands of the trade. The
importations of foreign woolen goods,
. at the port of New York alone, in 1871,
was valued at $40, GIG, ,4A in gold.
. If the wool manufacturing interest o1
I the United States increases in the same
t ratio during the next decade as it ha.
increased during the past five years, i
? will take rank among the most impor
: tant industries of the country.

A Manager In q Dilemma.

This is what occurred in Geneva,
Switzerland, on account Of the pres
enoe of the green-eyed monster.
"Gounod's Faust was performed,
and one Mile. Dufaure sung Nargueritc.
During the first act the other singers
won more applause than she. This
mortified her 30 much that she refused
to 60 on the stage in the second act.
A novel scene now ensned. The mama
ger stepped before the curtain aud said
that Mile. Dufaure refused to sing be.
cause the audience discriminated against
her in the applause. He appealed to
the gentlemen to do better toward her.
Some laughed and refused, but most Of
the audience promised to crafty her.
So she reappeared. A storm Of ap.
plause greeted her. She wept tears Of
Joy. Renewal of the applause. The
other actors grew Jealous in their turn,
and refused to play. So the manage!
had to dismiss the audience and refund
the money, ,''-Ecchange.

Chrome Cast Steel.

The report of Colonel Eads, the En-
gincer of the great st. Louis and 1lli-
nois Bridge, has brought into promi-
nent notice an article of Amerlca,l Man
ufacture known as Chrome Cast
Steel.
This steel is IN amalgam of Chromi-
um and Wrought Iron, and is produced
by melting the two together in the
crucible in the same manner az carbon
steel. ..,.....,
Chrome Cast Steel has properties and
advantages entirely it's own, and is e.
pecially adapted for tools of all kinds:
Itcan be worked at q white heat-.a"st
be hardened at q ve,y toiD heat, and
"cannot be injured by over-heating."
It can be welded to iron or to itself:
leaving no trace of tie weld; it can
be worked and revoked without in.
Jury; and, when made into tool,
will do at least so per cent. more work
than any steel, not excepting the high
est-priced and choicest brands Of for:
eign made. These points alone must
recommend it to all mechanics.
By varyingthe proportion Of Chromium
any required grade of steel can be pro-
duced, and when the proper formula is
once ascertained for any given purpose,
the same grade can be reproduced, 0d
5n1anitwns, with the. utmost certainty,
thus making it perfectly uniform in
each grade, claim no manufacturer
(even the best English) of carbon steel
can trnthfully make.
million Of dollars had been expended
/ and lost in the effort to produce certain
bolts and slaves required in the bridge
kabove referred to, but not until the in
ventor of Chrome Cast Steel was called
into the arena was the work success
fully done, when, as appears from Mr..
E'ads report, every bolt and slaves pro-
duced from Chrome Steel was success
full.
Chrome Cast Steel has tensile
strength far exceeding that of any other.
In series of experiments, the highest
tensile strain obtained was 198, ,97O
pounds to the square inch the aver
age result of twelve specimens was
49, $50 pounds, whilst the highest
!. strength Of steel given in Perry's Met
allurgy, page $40, is 1872, 800 pounds
per square inch.
1n1tS lower 8raueo, tueio!O1o Cn.0 no
steel presents q material for bridge
building excelling, in tensile strength
any metal hitherto known.
In the higher grades of tool steel I
| is equally excellent, the ease will
which it is worked (at much highel
heat than carbon steel will bear)render'
. it very profitable to the manufacture Q
q tools.
Chrome Tool Steel was introduced
! into the Chicago market in February
= 1871, by Messrs. Hall, Kimbark 4 20:
= and at the date of the great fire thei
y sales of this brand exceeded those q
!, all other brands held by them in stock
. and they have wisely determined here
). after to keep no other brand of Ameri
y can Tool Steel.
q We see no reason why this new met,
= should not speedily supercede the us

it is aptly shown in apopnlar apologize,
that just punishment follows the pride

T. W. POGa, ESQ.

We are pleased to learn that the Execu-
tive Committee have nominated This gem
tlcman as u candidate for Electol for the
State at large, to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Governor Vance.
The selection is a very appropriate one.
Mr.. FOu has been for more than two years
a representative man, of genuine Liberal
Republicanism, in North Carolina Elected
from Johnston county to the Legislature
of ISGS-'G9 as a Republican, his course was
such as to commend him to the respect
and regard of good men iii the State every
where. Mr.. Pou is not now, nor has he
ever beeu a Democrat He is nothing
more nor less than genuine Liberal Re
publican.
The rendering Of srlcha prominent posi-
ton upon our Electoral ticket to Mr.. POu
is graceful recognition Of the thorough
harmony and accord that exists every
where between Liberal Republicans ana
Democrats i'll the support of Horace
Greeley.
AIr. POu is an earnest, enthusiastic and
eloquent speaker, and our cause will lose
nothing in his hands.

bear i'll mind the timely warning here
given that care be aiken lest i'll seeking the

We shall be glad 10 secure their votes.
A WORD of WARNING.
Mr.. Greeley showed himself to be FAR
more wise than good many OF his most
ardent supporters When, i'll his letter Of
acceptance addressed tu the Democratic
committee, he limited that one OF the lead
ing causes of complaint, ont Of which the
Liberal movement grew, was the general
| consciousness pervadng the people that
/ there should be Il cessation OF exclusive leg
sIation for the black man, and more care
given to the larger interests of the white
man. MutdtiS HattGlttS, the same thing
may be said Of the conduct of the present
campaign, where SO much effort is made to
secure the cooperation Of the negro and the
lie sroS friend that there begins To be danger
lest the white man should be overlooked,

| quence. Mr.. Summers letters were manly,

! the North and the South. Saunders is
! clever speaker, and does not lack either
| tact OF modesty. But Mr.. Sumner showed
| what he feared concerning his influence
with his prOteges 10y the ddte Of his letter,

SuperioTs, ia consequence Of his omission of
the word "regenerate" from the bapiismal

his parish had brought an action against
Mr.. Cheney and tie wardens and vesfry-
men, asking from the Circuit Court an in

the wardeas and vesirymen from applying

prayed for, the court has refused, on the
ground that the petitioners only represent
cd small minority of the members Of the
church, and that separation of the pastor
from the flock would lie considered by the
great majority Of tho parish very disas-

rendering the decision of the court Judge
