AN ANCIENT MILLIONAIRE.
An Ola Gentleman Who Remembers
the Fuucrni al Washington.

Peter Cooper recently entered his SS.h
year. Ills faculties are in good COndl-
ton, and he IS still ore of the Board OF
Trustees OF the Institute, whore be holds
a private office. lie is the oldest native
of this city, whose increase he has wit
messed from population OF 10000 to
fifty times that number. lie can remem'
Der the first steam boat, and, it may be
added, that he built the first locomotive
engine ever CONSTRUCTED in this coun-
try. He can remember the funeral
procession which honored tho
memory Of Washington, of which
Hamilton was the Marshal. The
death OF the latter is also one Of tina!
great array of historic facts which dwell
in the long range of his experience. He
bore B par. in the celebration OF the Erie
Canal, as well as that OF the Atlantic
Telegraph, ard has thus kept abreast
with the improvements Of the age. The
lack of early advantages gave Cooper a
deep sympathy with all who suffered
similar privstlons. His school stten-
dance was limited to half of each day for
year, but he has by careful reading be-
come man of extensive information.
Cooper's lite is one of peculiar vicissl-
tude. His father was q halter, and,
having failed at the trade, thought
to do better by his son by binding him
out TO coach-msker. Peter, when
through the apprenticeship, started
shop, but failed, and then tr ed cabi-
net making, but with no better success.
His next effort was retail grocery,
which also proved q failure. These
calsmities followed him till his 4Oth year,
and it seemed as though ne really was
born for i'll luck. He had noticed, how
eyer, the inferior quality of the glue
which was in use among csbinetmskers,
and he determined, as last resort, to try
mis- hand in the manufacture of better
article A barrow full of cow hides and
a kettle were his stock in trade. Thus he
began a business which proved 8 perma-
nent success, and, to this, was added the
iron trade, and the result is that Peter
Cooper is to-day estimated at $lO,0OO,O00.

upon the status of the market so lat Is
wool may be concerned, but there Is q
universal complaint over the provision Oh
the act in regard to wooden goods, whlch,
1t Is asserted, is in direct conflict with the
interests of manufacturers. Indeed
manufacturers claim that the passage OF
the bill in its present shape WouiG Dc
utter rum to them and they would nave
to shut up mill at once. About Inc only
noticeable feature during the week mas mas
been negotiations upon lot of obout 400
bales of Oregon. This has engaged the
attention of the horde OF brokers, but up
to the close it was uncertain whether
anything had been positively accom-
plished, though the impression was that
at least a portion of the stock hsd
changed hands. -ButLstin.

what 20 Teach Girls.

Translated from the German by F. H.
Lehman.
Give your daughters thorough edu-
cation, Teach them to prepare nour-
ishing diet. Teach them to wash, TO
iron, TO darn stockings, to sew on but
tons, TO make their own dresses. Teach
them 20 make bread, and that good
kitchen lesson, the apOthecary's account.
Teach them that 81 is 100 cents, that one
only laws up money whose expenses are
less than his income, and all grow poor
who have TO spend more than they
receive. Teach them that calico dress
paid for fits better than silk one I'M
paid for. Teach them that full, healthy
face displays q greater lustre than fifty
consumptiYe beauties. Teach them to
wear strong shoes. Teach them to pur-
chase, and see that the account cores
ponds with the purchase. Teach them
that they ruin Gods images by wearing
strong bodlCes. Teach them good com.
mon sense, self-trust, sel!-hcip AID
industry. Teach them that an honest
mechanic in his working dress is q bet
ter object OF oar esteem than Il dozen
naughty, fnely.dressed ldlers. Teach
them gardening and the pleasures OF
nature. Teach them, If you can atlort 1t,
music, painting, and all other arts, bat
consider them as secondary objects only.
Teach them that walk is more sslutary
than q ride IN carriage, and that wild
flowers are worthy object of admira-
ton. Teach them to reject with dlsdsin
all appearances, and TO use only yes or
no in good earnest. Teach them that
happiness of mstrim0ny depends neither
on external appearances nor on wealth,
but on the mans character. Have you
instructed your daughter in these pria-
ciples, and have they comprehended
these prlncples2 Fearlessly sllow them
20 marry; they will make their way
through the world.

The ArtoI Listening.

1t is by listening, not by talking, that
sympathy is scQuired-that intellectual
sympathy that makes men companion
able. This abandonment OF old re-
strsints, of which we rejeaous, may be
one of the reasons why conversation IS
An art Is going out. Children don't
learn to talk by chstteriug to one an
other, and saying what comes upper
most; neither does reading suffice to TINS
end sipgle-handed. Good talk should
first he recognized as such in others.
Attention Is the most influential tutor IN
the fitting use Of the tongue. When we
see good talk disregarded by party OF
young people, then, Y e may be sure, the
cbsnces OF their ever shining socially
are small indeed. Mere listening with
Intelligence involves an exercise OF men
AL speech. Not, of course, that we
would confne children to the act OF at
,ention; but good talk cannot be main
tanned under interruption, and observaat
silence opens the pores OF the mind as
impatient demands for explanation never
do EngliSh Mgg0-iHe.

THE wool TRADE.
RnSInri.


The market for nearly all descriptions
of wool continues depressed, In the
goods market, prices are weak and un-
remune.ative, aud manufacturers refuse
TO purchase the raw material beyond the
supply OF their immediate wants. The
transactions in fleece woods show light
increase over last week, but holders
have Lad to accept the Same or lower
prices. There hiss been less doing in fall
california, and rather more in spring
The bulk OF the fall in this market Is
now held by two houses, and OF spring
there is bat one strictly choice lot of any
acc0uut.
The advices in regard TO the new
spring clip are not very important yet
one Boston house paid 2O@22! cents for
q small lot of San JoSquin, at which
price it would not be profitable to ship to
this market. The estimates in regard to
the deficiency of the clip continue 10
shrink from week to week. 1t is row
said that the decrease will certainly eX-

preference by the home trade have, il
anything, improved.

the duty on all raw wool At 81 per cent.

Correspondence OF the Register.
FAIRMoET, April z.
Not many changes took place in the
residences OF our citizens on yesterday,
but largo number of our business men
have new and more comfortable quarters
Tor the next year.
To-day is the second anniversary OF
the great fire that visited our town IN
1876, and its advent will always be held
in memory OF our citizens Other great
events, and the date on which they oc-
CURED, may be forgotten, our memory
may become so defective that we will
contend that Colum bus discovered Amer
lea on the 4th day of July, 1876, rs was
the case with a gentleman on our street
the other day, but all the facts connected
with ourgreat fire, the unearthly ring OF
the bells at so early an hour, the rapldlty
with which the angry element devoured
the old rat hGrbors of buildings, the wall
of distress that came from those
whose property was destroyed, the
eagerness with which the boys
put out Of sight such q quantity Of drug
store whisky, and the rather general
drunk that followed, are things that will
a. wsys be fresh in their memory, and
will be handed down TO posterity even
unto the third and fourth generations.
There can be no doubt but that this dire
visitation was a blessing in disguise. 1t
ls true that some families lost heavily
they lost their sll-but Il majority OF the
sufferers were fully insured. The burned
district has been with the exception OF
few lots, rebuilt with an excellent class
of buildings, the building of which has
afforded work TO large class of citizens
who otherwise would have been out OF
employment However, as much as we
are inclined to think that it was q blessing
to the town, we are not at all disposed to
try the experiment over again.
Judge Fleming has gotten home from
his co1rL in MOrgantown, and seems TO
stand up under his labors nicely.
He will be in Wetzel county on the 9th
INST, on which day his court at New
Martinsville begins. He has succeeded
in securing Judge Hoge, OF Martinsburg,
TO assist him in holding one court, which
commences on the 18th inst. Judge
Fleming will preside at the beginning OF
the term, and will dispose of those cases
with which be was not connected. Judge
Hoge is expected to be present on the
29gh. and ali the cases with which Judge
Fleming had been previously connected,
as counsel or otherwise, will be disposed
OF by him. Mr.. Lott, the clerk OF the
Court, is arranging his docket accord
ingIy, and we may expect to have con-
siderable business done this term. Most
of the criminal business will be attended
to by Judge Fleming at the early part of
the term. The friends OF Judge Flem-
ing are much gratided to see that he has
given such universal satisfaction thus far
on his circuit.
