IL will be seen that the prices prevail
ing at this series were relatively very
low. But it should be added, per con-
ira, that the demand was at least suffi-
cient to take, at some figure, every ami
NAL offered, showing that the market is
by no means overstocked; and it is
admitted on all hands that there is
money enough in breeding the cattle,
under the favorable circumstances pre-
sented by this section of Kentucky,
even at the rates above given, though
they yield scanty returns TO those pro-
prietors who, not breeding largely
themselves, have bought their cattle of
others, in the hope of selling the same
animals again at an advance.
Tho short-horn convention, we think,
must be pronounced in many respects
less successful than might have been
anticipated from the location of the

GRNTLEMEN:-l am instructed by the
executive committee of the National
Wool Growers Association, to present
their regrets that YOU were unable 10
meet with them at ST. Louis, Oct. 3, and
also to express their qualification at the
cordial tenor of your valued commune
cation received by them while there in
session.
The committee direct me to say. thai
the Wool Growers and Sheep Breeders
throughout the United States appreci-
ate the sentiments expressed in Your
letter, and as an evidence of their hearty
cooperation in behalf of maintaining
intact the present tariff law affecting the
material interests of manufacturers and
growers of wool, respectfully call atten-
ton TO the following resolutions, passed
at the ANIMAL meeting, held in MAY,
1877:
Resolved, That we, in behalf of the
several state associations of Wool Grow
ers and Sheep Breeders, re-afllrm our
faith in the necessity for tariff on i'm
ported woods and wooden manufactures
Resolved, That the experience of ten
years has fully vindicated the wisdom
of the law suggested by the two Joint
interests affected, and now in force.
And that we will firmly oppose its re-
peal or any modification not sanctioned
by the accredited representative of the
wool manufacturers ms well as the wool
growers.
may add that we are aware that the
immense growth of the wool interest in
all its branches throughout our land is
in great part the result of the friendly
understanding so judiciously arrived al
more than decade since. and so fell
citously referred TO in your letter. We
certainly desire continuance Of these
cordial relations.
Very respectfully yours,

MIR. Pauli's Picture of Rock Island,

The young artist. PAUL., of Milwaukee,
has bit the right point for birds eye
view ofRock Island, and we hope his efforts
will be encouraged. Looking from the
bluffs below Davenport. he has succeeded
in making a picture which shows every
inch of ground from the boat yard to Au-
gustana College and east the city limits,
giving clear view of all the streets and
buildings, the formation of the bluffs, the
streets over the bluffs, etc, etc. The
good judgement shown in handling the
subject deserves recognition, and the Iitho-
graph will be both useful and ornamental.
The entire Island is shown; the works
upon it; the bridges and portion Of Mo-
lne Any point in the city can easily be
found from this picture.
Mr.. PAUL also has very fine drawing
of Davenport, which shows us not only The
town on the river but also On the bluff
and some of the adjacent country.
We hope he will receive such encourage
ment as 10 warrant the publication of boti
the pictures.
He has also pictures of other cities OF
the Mississippi river.

viii the Decision he Adhered to 2

In the Florida case the telegraphic re-
port. states that the electoral commission
decided by strict party vote, s to I, that
they hare no authority to hear evidence
outside Of the certificate Of the goUcrnor ct
the state, founded upon the determination
Of The cah0assing board Of the state as to
ats pote. .
IF this be true, then the vote OF Oregon
must be counted two for Hayes and one
for Tildeu. which will ensure the election
of Tilden aud Hendricks. Notwithstanding
the Republican steal Of three states and l9
votes.
But if party bigotry leads the majority
to make one decision for Florida and an
other for Oregon then the whole thing vii
be farce.

A druggist Of our acquaintance, the other
day, said he thought that in FIVE years B.
I. Rabbits Toilet Soap would drive all
other toilet soaps to the wall with the
sensible people. On being asked he re-
Diied:
Simply for this: 1t is made Of the
sweetest and cleanest materials, and is the
most effective in its action. Less is re-
quired to perform the same purpose, and
1t is the pleasantest Of all toilet soaps to
use, The lack Of artificial perfume means
this. Strong scent is not needed to
disguise essential nastiness."
