The Wool Grouer'S Bulletin gives
the following summary Of the situa-
ton Of the market: Prices are very
stubborn. The improved demand
going on seems to have no effect up
on them in the East, although in the
West they seem to have stifiened up
enough for small advance in those
sections where there has been any
lots Of wool to work upon. 1t is
scarcely any use to give quotations,
which remain about as last week.
Manufacturers seem to be well aware
that enough wool will he offered them
at current prices to meet their pres
ent demands, and they are not antic-
ipating the future, although in many
cases acknowledging that they have
to pay higher prices further on III
the season. At present they are will
ing to forego the pleasure Of taking
up the choice lots, which arc gener-
ally held above the quotations, and
generally cheaper than the woods
now purchased at current rates For
instance many lots OF Xxx are
passed by 45c, which are cheaper
than the Xxx bought at ~ and Abe"

The fall term at the University
opens to-day wednesday,. The
members ofthe faculty are all pres
ent except Prof White, who has leave
of absance until the winter term.
The prospects for large attendance
the coming year are good All be-
lieve that the enrolment will exceed
that Of any other year in the past.
We see no reason why that should not
he $50. The University is a year older.
The experience and acaumulations of
the past give it both character and
promanency. Money is now plenty,
so that the matter of expenses is no
argument against attending. Under
the management of President Purin-
ton, who is highly admired by all,
there can be no doubt that this year
will be one of the most successful in
the history Of the University. We
are glad to note many and marked
Improvements both in and around the
buildings. Prof Latham has been
hard at work for some time past re-
arranging his laboratory, and his
workshop now presents the appear
ance of first class drug store. The
Professor deserves considerable cred
it for the work accomplished, and he
may rest assured that the future stu
dent Of chemistry will not be slow in
recognizing and approaching the val
ne and importance of the van ious i'm
proyements made The cadet corps
will be under the popular and eff
Gent management of Major James

the corps in the past is q sufficient
guarantee Of the successful manner
in which this branch viii be con

indications point to prosperous

The opinion of the Presidents ply
sicians is reported to be that his
physical inability to discharge the
duties of the office will continue for
perhaps six months to GENE. 1t does
not seem to be an unreasonable est
mate, and if it shall prove correct,
will extend over the period when
Congress shall be in session, and
when the demands upon the exeeu-
tive office will be imperative, The
Cabinet is said to have held meet
ing on Saturday last for the purpose
of determining the proper mode of
procedure under the circumstances.
just what conclusion was reached is
matter Of speculation only. 1t is
very generlly surmised, however, that
an agreement was reached that the
Vice President should be formally
notified and requested to assume the
duties of the Office pro tempore. The
request will probrobly come through
the President himself If he should
gain sufficient strength to stand the
strain of removal from Washington,
that time will probably be chosen at
which to formally request the pres
ence of the Vice President.-RegtS-

communicated.
EDrroR New DOMINIoE:- Some
time since | read an article, | think
it was in the Practical Farmer. on
good books in the rooms Of newspa-
pers, as q means Of education and
improvement Of the minds and NOR
ais Of ottr children. ! have not the
article in question before me but I
remember distinctly of being i'm
pressed at the time with another view
Of The subject, and will therefore beg
leave to express the idea.
1t seems to be pretty we'll cstab-
lished fact and admitted by many of
our educators that a person is in no
way so VIII qualified for the duties
and work Of this life as by coming in
contact Herewith and next to the ac-
tual experience Of life is that which
contains its every day history-the
newspaper.
Let any Intelligent observer com
pare the children Of the family where
choice papers are literally patronized
and read with those of families where
none are read, and see if they do not
find a vast difference. Besides there
is perhaps no other way to cultivate
a desire in a child to read and obtain
knowiedge-so easy Of access as
through your local paper. A little
boy or girl viii soon become interest
ed in the local country news, espe-
cially if the parents set the example,
and a grand field is opened for i'm
provement and mental cultivation.
And the latest, and in many instan-
ces the most interesting, develop
ments of science and artistic skill are
available on Y through such medium.
1t is to be regretted that men-es-
pecially men raising fainilics--do not
generally realize more fully the in
trinsic worth Of good papers in their
families as factors in the education
Of their children, and as a means Of
protection against the many snares
and dangers that surround the igno-
rant. As case in point, the read
ing by small boy Of an incident in
New York, as published IN B. II.
Days Brother Jonathan, a few years
later saved him his money, if not
even his life when in a city; because
he suspected at their first approach
what the rascals meant.
If our papers were more freely pa
tronized and read we would have
fewer victims for sharpers and swind-
lers who infest the land, Every dol
lar paid is a dollar well invested, and
is sowing seed to yield most ex-
cellent harvest.
| do not wish to be understood to
attempt to detract from the merit of
good books, by no means, for | would
have them read too. But what |
would impress is the fact that by
careful reading Of the present history,
we get knowledge Of the world, that
we can obtain in no other way, and
which is indispensable to qualify MS
to live successfully in the world.
In conclusion, | repeat that every
PERSONS interest and safety demand
that they should pay for and read
good reliable newspapers, and prac-
tice and profit by the wisdom they
obtain thereby. S.

Speaking Of the reported candidacy
of Iilden for the presidency, the New
York Times says: "Blind confidence
in the ability, cunning and power of
the old man." still is left in the
Democratic party. No other politi-
clan so far spent in life and SO near a
physical wreck has ever been able to
inspire SO much confidence in the
breasts of his friends and so much
apprehension in the ranks Of his enc
mics as the venerable S. j. Tilden.
His is still name to conjure with,
and it is barely possible that, instead
of being on the eve of re-entering pol
tiles, he has permitted his friends to
throw out the usual "feelers" to test
public opinion.

Whatever may be said Of the ac-
lions of other men during this Ma
tional crisis, there is one man who
stands conspieuouely in the front,
and whose conduct must ever com
mand our highest admiration-we
refer to Gen. w. S. Hancock. In
fact ever since the contest was decid-
ed adversely to him, his conduct has
been such as to cause complimentary
notices from his political opponents,
and we believe in the event of the
Presidents death that a great major
ity of the American people would be
glad if he could succeed him in the
office.

The Goot Which Istgspsus Canal Building

New YORK, JAM. S.-The HerolG's Wash

inellt republican, who says in regard to the
Panama and Nicaragua canals ST is my
belief that beth will be built, and besides
them we may see in the course of the next 3
years work begunona canal or railroad on the
Gu,fof Tehuantepec, which, If you will look
at the map is Il true and strong point for an
exclusively Americau canal. In building

spent during the four years of Garficld's ad-
ministration.
A part of this will be our own, but all Of
it, substantially, will be spent in the United
States to buy tools, material, provisions and
supplies of various kinds, and this vast sum
will thus be a clear addition to our usu | and
present trade, aud will, | believe, stimulate
American industry in a wonderful degree.
We are to have an era of immense and costly
enterprises, some Of them, perhaps, spccu-
lative, but all of them spending great sums in
short periods, and spending them here. Amer,
lea has never yet known such a stimulus to
industry and enterprise, Of secure peace, gen.

THE CITIZEN.

The citizen is the bulwark OF the nation
the source of national power.
Washington was more than an army: John
Paul Jones was more than a navy Robert
Morris was more. than Il treasury because
they were citizens, and only as citizens was it
possible for them to do their immortal work.
Christianity, Civilization, Citizenship, mean
pure growth, free knowledge, independent
manhood, the foundation of the republic, the
glory of any government.
Let our schools be the nurseries of our citi-
zens, our government the servant of our citi-
zens and our laws the intelligent agreement
of our citizens and our nation will be impreg-
nable and territorial aggrandize'nent will be
natural, permanent and beneficent.
To this END we advocate the repeal o~fevery
law which undertakes to supply character to
the citizen by compelling him 10 act justly,
except by penal statutes which do not include
money fines. Mauliness abhors the idea of
accepting pay tor wrong. 1t degrades the
courts of Justice to measure a crime by dol
lars. Laws for the collection of debt breed
Infinitely more breaches of good faith than
they cure, and DO more than all other intll-
enceS combined to deprive ofhoEor
and traders of character.
