How 10 Preside In Coneress.

London Maufdir, tells the following story
of An energetic presiding officer in our
American national House OF Representa-

1t happened a good many years ago,
| when Mr.. K. NJ. I. Hunter was Speaker.
The House was in com mittee of the
whole, as we call il, and the Speaker, on
leaving, had nominated gentleman
named Tilunghsst TO the chair. FILLING
hast was good sort of fellow, but no.
where as n chairman, and in about halt
an hour the House, which had not much

! rilhngnast, beng at his wits end, sent

came, he was 10. q moment at y loss what
,o do; but casting .hisGeye round the
| 'urhuient benches he observed young
member named johnson, a representa-
sos from Maryland, whose determin
alton, tact, and knowledge of the forms

The Cnampion Mint JuIep.

Probably the most colossal mint julep
on record was that prepared at the
Spottswood House, in Richmond, on the
occasion OF the visit there of Governor
Hoffman, Of New York, and a party,
eight wears ago. According to sacred
Southern usage the architect of this long
and lavish drink made whisky and not

NEW YORK.

The month thus far has not brought
out any positively new features, 30 tar rs
can be observed, through the expressed
views OF the trade. An undertone OF
more or less confidence holds ground,
and IN some cases the feeling ter Us to-
ward buoysncy, but the latter still
rather on prospective than present
direct stimulus and based in a measure
on the superstition that the holding back
OF BUYERS has been more Tor effect than
through any actual absence of wants, snd
thst soon necessities will become so pres
sing, as TO creste quite u lively move
ment. Medium cost woods, it is slsJ
thought, will eel more substantial and
lasting improvement, as the coarse
grades have only limited call, and the
fine qualities are thought to be too high
for consumption beyond positive ne
cessity and special orders, though, as the
latter are in small supply, an offset to the
reduced demand is to be ound. Manu-
fscturers IN the meantime evince little
or no alarm over the prospect thst they

WOOL MARA ELS.
BOSTON.

The market has been less active than
for the pas, two or three weeks. The
INQUIRY Tor washed clothing woods has
fal en- of very greatly. There is no
marked decline in prices, but concessions
could probably be obtained by q cash
buyer, especially on fine teeces. We
have no sales OF Xxx Ohio ut less than
49,, but small parcels are known to
have changed hands a. a lower figure
There has been a good demand for
unwas he'd woods, the decline In the price
OF these woods having attracted consum-
ers. Pulled woods have also been in
pretty good request. They are now
arriving in increasing quantities and sell
ut a reasonable figure.
By far the most spirited demand has
been for comblrg and delaine selections.
The four or five Phlisdelphis mel who
have been here have been free takers,
and prices for these grades of wool are
generally held little higher at the close
of the week than at the beginning.
The sales of secured and tub washed
woods foot d very small aggregate
Stocks are not large; indeed, tub washed
woods are quite scarce.
The call for CALIFORNIA; hss run mainly
on spring wool, which is gong steadily
into consumption At the range of prices
established several weeks since. In
regard to the new fall clip, late advices
from san Francisco state that 1t continues
to arrive very slowly. The market there
lacks animation. The best offers OF
buyers are 10@l2c for poor grades o.
bury, and heavy free bright light clean
wool from San Joaquin sections can be
so to limited extent at l4@l6c, and
good Northern, tree of seed and burr,
might frd buyers at about 16@l7c, AID
possibly really fancy clips would CON-
msnd lSc or more.
Foreign woods are steady and IN
changed. The stock of carpet grades is
large, and prices favor the buyer. There
IS a steadily increasing demand for Cape
woods.
