Wool.

There have been few email ssles
during the week at prices, 60 far IS can
be learned, about equal 10 those preVi.
ously quoted. Reductions are still
made for prompt cash, but the holders
who are pressed for funds, and are
therefore willing TO saerifce stock, are
in tn. minority, and no extensive lines
can be picked up except at partly full
figures. The manufacturing interest is
not in pressing need OF stock, aud as
the outlook on goods is not very en-
couraging, there is no urgent necessity
OF their laying in supplies for their
spring weights. Those who are in Po-
sition TO take advantage OF the necessi-
ties OF dealers in wool, are operating on
8 moderate scale, and pick up desira-
bic lots when they can be found. As
for buying at full prices, however, there
are lew who care to operate, and the
market is thoroughly quiet We learn
OF nothing in foreign wools, but these
descriptions are pretty well held as the
rule, and recent small sales OF Cape and
Australian have been at pretty full
rates.
There is more domestic pulled wool
offering, but We learn of very little
changing bands, Prices are mainly
nominal in the absence OF sales, and

ably be picked at fraction below our

ipg cashier Of the State Treasury was
SET Tor this A. N. The prisoner did not
come into court at all. A long consul.
taiion took place between the prisoner
counsel and the prosecution, after
which the District Attorney moved an
adjournment OF the examination, to
which the defendants counsel made no
objections, and the examination was
post poned until five o'clock this after
noon.
The reason stated by the District At
torney for the postponement was that
if the case was required to go on he
should be obliged 10 produce testimony
out OF the regular order, which would
not be desirable He also explained to
the court that there were other reasons
which would be explained to his honor
privately and would no doubt be sstls'

Remedy to Retire Pi.toIs.

The SanderVille Georgian, in no.ic-
ing tue recent forcible charge Of Judge
johnson to the grand jury Of Wash
ington Superior Court on the practice
OF carrying concealed pistols, thinks
that q specific tax LEVIED on each pistol
thus carried will retire pistols from the
country much sooner than all the pre-
sentiments aud indictments in the courts
for the next twenty years TO come.
The editor suggests an act by the Leg
islature requiring that at each return
OF the taxes q special oath shall be ad-
miuistered to each Taxpayer that be
make return OF the pistol (if he hiss
one) that a tax Of five dollars be plac"
ed upon them that TO be seen wearing
one on his person afterwards without
the tax being paid upon it shall be
prima tdcis evidence o. perjury, and
shaIl. unrebutted, exclude his testimony
in the courts, 10 civil and criminal cases
that in ell indictments where pistol
is found in the hands OF a party, it OF
itself shall be positive evidence OF ex-
press malice. That at every tax giving,
the tax payer swears that since be gave
in his taxes last, whether he has bought,
owned or wore one upon bis person.
The editor OF the Georgian Is OF the
opinion that law OF this character
would Danish pistols from Georgia as
rapidly as the internal revenue tax ban
isbed gold watches from patriotic Mass
achusetts.
The Augusta ConStitutionala believes
that the price named by our coutelnpo
rary TO be charged Tor the privilege OF
being allowed TO carry the necessary
weapon with which to conjHct the mur-
derer's red-handed trade is entirely too
low to operate as a prohibition, and the
State certainly should not undertake 10
derive revenue from such a source.
The majority OF the towards who make
practice of constituting themselves
perambulating armories will hardly be
come Christians under the exacting OF
the small amount of five dollars per
piece carried ; $500 or $1,000 each
might possibly awaken a penitential
throb OF the pocket nerve il nothing
better.

THEsB are the last laws on table
manners:
There are other things, however,
which are equally disagreeable; such
as reaching across your neie b Dor for 9
dish or condiment, instead OF asking
him TO pass it to you, and putting your
knife into the butter plate, or your fork
into the shaved beef, or the potatoes,
and taking the salt from the salt cellar
at your plate with your fOgers. When
you send your plate to be reDleDisbed,
place your knife aud fork upon one eide
OF it, or cross them upon h, or put
them upon your piece OF bread
Never take bit OF sugsr from the
bowl with your fingers; but use them
when YOU take q piece OF bread, cake,
and the like, also an olive, unless an
olive fork is provided. Avoid the old.
fashioned habit OF never taking the
last piece OF anything which remains
upon a dish; not doing this would in
dicate that you feared the vacancy
could not be supplied. II a plate be
handed you at the table, you should
always keep it, and not Offer
it to your neighbor as was consrd-
cred polite in "ye olden tymes." Your
host knows whom be desires to wait
upon first, and it is poor compliment
to him to seem to reprovs his selection.
When servsd, do not wait until al the
others are helped, but as soon ss your
