THE amount Of capital invested in the
lumber business in 1850 was S200,OO0,0OO
The amount paid to labor in this business
was S00,0OO,0O0. The present duty aver
ages lG per cent. The Mills bill takes Off
this duty. The wages in Can vain this
branch Of industry are from oua-third to
one-half less than are paid in the United
States. The removal of the duty will lie
stroy the lumber business, and drive the
wage workers engaged in it into some other
business, or 1t will force a reduction of their
wages TO the Canadian standard. From
North Carolina, and south of there on the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts, in 1857, there wa,
shipped to New York city 270,OOO,OOO feet
Of pine. If the duty is removed this um.
Der will come from the pine forests Of
Canada, as even with the duty on, Canada
competes for the trade Of New York. The
North Carolina and other southern Demo-
Gratis from the coast are voting for free
lumber. What have their constituents to

"Yum YUM.
The Only Genuine Chinese Horao In
America.

A genuine Chinese horse was found
by World reporter ona day last week
in small stable near Abingdon Square.
This curious animal is the only species
in the United States, aud has certain
peculiarities which make il an interest
ing curiosity. This remarkable animal
has the head, neck and body OF full
sized horse. His legs, however, al
though correspondence stout and strong
are very short and every one OF them
are double ionted. His coat is very
sleek and black The only spot OF white
upon him is pretty diamond upon his
forehead. His tail is long and silky,
but strange TO say his name refuses TO
grow longer than two inches. Here IL
stops and remains as coarse and stubby
as a scrubbing brush.
The double joints OF Yum Yum's
knees are so large that the reporter laid
his foreflnger almost out OF sight be-
tween them. So peculiarly are they
formed that they do not figure as n de- 4
formity. The horse is very strong and
makes a beautiful saddle horse, al
thoug il is very funny sight TO see n
tall man upon his back. The reporter
then asked Tony 10 measure the dlfierent
parts OF the horse. Yum Yum's head is
2S inches long. IL is very full and well
formed The neck is IL inches long and
f6 inches thick. His height is 48 inches.
His front legs measure 80 inches, while
the hind legs are one inch higher. His
body is just 8 feet or 60 inches long.
This concludes n set Of measurements
which for being in direct opposition TO
the laws of nature have never yet been
equaled. Yum Yum has frequently
made mile in 2.40 or less. His double
joints allow his legs very wide stretch
and his speed is surprising.

and finding young woman at home in-

The young woman seemed 90 fail i'm

This seemed TO interest the gypsy very
much. as she listened attentively. Final

and after studying the lines closely, be-
gan her story. IL was long one, prin-
cipally devoted TO the love affair of the
young woman, and the comforting in
formation was vouchsafed that eventu-
ally all would be we'll; that the estrang-

wedding follow, the good things OF earth
showered upon them, and, in fact, lit
tie chunk OF the millennium was to come
their way. Then the gypsy spoke as
follows:

The answer came in about this way.

"Why not?"
"You haven't told me a word of
truth"
Every word Of il will come true"
At this moment the young woman's
husband and one-year- old daughter, who
had been in another room, came in TO
find out the cause of the mysterious
conference, and the gypsy beat a hasty
retreaf
