POWER OF KINDNESS.
A driver, belonging to the great
Northern Railway goods station, had
occasion to pass mp the Quadrant
Road highway. New York, to deliver
: package. On approaching one of
the houses, he was seen by . lady in
the window, who Immediately said to
some friends staying with her:
Here comes the kind driver; do
come and see what power he has over
his horses" all 5i1
The friends accordingly came to the
window, when BENJAMIN Smithson.
the driver in question, was asked by
the lady to shake hands" with his
horses. With great good humor he
at once complied. Standing in front
Of the pair Of horses, he called out:
Tom, shake hands,"
Instantly tho near horse lifted up
his right foot. After . shake, the
driver said:
snow, Tom, the other foot" 80.
Up went the foot instantly. The
driver then went in front of the other
horse, when similar scene occurred.
Perhaps, however, the most pleas
ing incident remains to be told. Re-
treating backward several yards from
the horses, he cried out:
Now, Tom, turn round, and come
on"
Instantly the horses pulled away 1t
their load, turned the van round,
without the slightest need of so much
% the crack of whip, and followed
the clever driver, a. the dog would
the shepherd. ~
Such an instance shows clearly how
much can be done with animals; but
especially with the horse, simply By
the power Of kindness.
TALK TO WOOL aRowERa.
L The New York Economist gives q
few hints in the following extract
from lengthy article, which wool
growers will do we'll to give candid
| consideration: 1T 10 true, it takes
time to raise lambs and increase flocke
Of sheep. As yet there has not beer
much increase in the production Of
the staple in our Northern or Yves.
! tern States; but what is lacking il
quantity Is to some extent made up ir
| quality, for our markets now presen,
lines Of fancy woods for Virginia
Pennsylvania and Ohio, which an
equal 70 any woods grown the worlG
over. The super6ne fancy clips from
Western Virginia are particularly
choice, and will bear close compari
SON with the finest Austrian, Silesian
and Australian. These woods vii
command fancy prices ct any time, NJ
| Matter how st1inGent mOaey may Ae

dannels, fine face d0eskins, or ladie,
worsted dress goods, or braids, ane
yet We fear enough of these grades
will never be grown in the States Il
supply the constaAtly increasing want,
Of our manufacturers. The demand
for combing woods continues very &C
tve-in fact, it = urgent, until nor
prices have rapidly risen, especial,
for Canadian. From . private letter
written by . we'll known firm in Ham
ilton, dated Cd instant, we are enabled
to make the following extract: Comb
ing wool cannot be got in any quaint
ties ct present. The country has beef
secured all round for manufacturer
in your State, aad e high Is 44c. golt
has been paid, and the prospect Is
will 60 somewhat higher. We est
mate the clip ct II million pounds
This sounds like high talk. Blu
wait; before the ink is yet dry on tn
paper We write upon, we have advice
still more astonishing, with sales 40c
gold for Canadian combing, and tn.
best article is now held 1t q half dol
lar gold. This would carry the prie'
beyond 0Oc. currency. and yet it is no
. fortnight since Mr.. Walworth a.
serted he would not pay over Coo. TO
the staple landed in the States. Sucl
are the enormous demands for vorstel
woods the world over, that everywher
in Europe and America they ar
bringing prices out of proportion L
1ne clothing grades. Il Il pity on
farmers cannot get some Of thes
Canadian sheep and cross them Wit
our Saxony, so - to give us . goo
grade of one-fourth blood wool"
