Special to the gazette.
Washington. January 26.-Hon.
Samuel j. Randall, in conversation
this morning in the hail of the house
of representatives with several Wool
growers, stated that Texas wool WAS
growing rapidly into favor In the
Eastern states. He mentioned the
name of q mammoth warehouse in
Philadelphia, which WAS almost en-
tirely stocked with Texas wool, the
pruprietors Of which were highly
pleased with the quality and readiness
with which market was found. The
distinguished statesman appeared 10
be deeply interested In the matter,
and said further that from what he
could learn from dealers and
wool growers generally, he was sat
isfi.d that Texas could readily pro-
duce the finest quality of wool, and
on account of her vast domain Was
destined TO become the great wool
producing section of the Union. He
said that he thought the only thing
necessary to make the Texas wool
growers Omnipotent was for them to
pay little more attention TO raising
selected Lre, DIS of sheep.

The Rcturn OF the Wanderers.

The recent fall o! the thermometer has
been very grateful to thousands Of people
who have been hunting pleasure at a dis
tance from town. 1t gives them good ex-
cuse for getting back. They are tired Of
catching trains at morning and ut evening,
and the discomforts Of existence away from
their homes had become lntolcrable.
Tho return of these wanderers and tho ro-
sumption OF business activity are giving the
town Its wonteL look. II will not be long be.
fore the Stock Exchange RECEIVERS from its
summer stagnation, and trade generally will
soon revive. Though the season opened
late, merchants have reason for encourage
mcnt and the low prices OF food promise
comfort for the wage -carners.
1t is true that the farmers growl because
they must sell their grain SO cheap. but the
magnitude OF the crops goes far to make up
the loss, and the increased consumption
which will bc the consequence OF low prices
will In the end inure to their benefit. Alum
dant and cheap food is a blessing all around.
We therefore look for an autumn and q
winter of prosperity, and rejoice that, de-
spite mercantile depression and distress and
confusion Oh the Exchanges, labor continues
to be well employed at good wages In fact,
the times are not so bad as the rich grum-
blers make out; but they are great deal
worse than they ought to be.

The Democratic candidate for President is
not an inspiring subject for poetry. but there
aro bards who try to build the lofty rhyme
about him. As might be expected, the rhyme
Is about as lofty as the subject. Consider,

tween the Roman and tho Buffalonian Is not
