The chief argument advanced in favor
of placing wool upon the free list is that
the manufacturers desire it. The best
answer to that assertion is the letter read
in congress by Mr.. Allen from Mr.. Will
liam Whitman, of this city, president Of
The National Association of Wool Manu-
facturers, in which he stated that the
manufacturers of wooden goods IN New
England and the middle states.Wlth ex,

THE WOOL SEASON.
Sale of Seims s. Armington's Clip-Great
Falls not Outbid.

Seims & Arlington have sold their
clip Of 10000 pounds of wool to Mr.. Paris
Gibson. The price paid for this choice
lot was IN cents per pound.
Mr.. Paris Gibson has purchased thus
far over 100000 pounds Of wool and has
been able to pay sellers the highest mar
ket rates for their clips.
The statement in the Benton Wool
Grower that better prices have been paid
there than here is false. We challenge d
comparison Of the sales made in both
places.
Mr.. Putnam took fifteen samples of the
North Montana Sheep company's clip,
and, after careful examination, declared
that he had seen no wool in this region SO
uniformly good. Mr.. Putnam bought the
clip last year and this season.
Last year the gross average price paid
in Choteau county for fifteen clips was
2f.55 cents The highest average price
paid for any one clip was 20 cents.
The decline this year is marked.

To the BEE. - ;ToCXs--The bulls are still in
the ascendancy in Wall street, and the market
this morning showed renewed activity and
strength especially IN Gould's properties,
which advanced l9S@4G, the latter on
Manhattan. Evidence is daily accumu-
Iating that one stock after another mas been
taken up and given whirl that has made the
bears fairly sick. The latter class of oper-
ators are doing very little in the market at
present. as all attempts TO secure and hold
the break have failed They recognize that
it is a bull market and that bear news has no
more effect than water poured on ducks
back. The bull fever must run its course,
and when it is finished the bears believe there
will be better opportunities to get in some eff
fective work than at present The room
traders nave taken their profits, but their
stocks were taken with such avidity that they
wished they had held on longer The bulls
say the market has changed permanently for
the better, but the leading houses, who have
watched the market and taken a conspicuous
part in the trading, advise caution IN buying.

 their successful treatment, solely for the pur- pose of advancing medical knowledge and stimulating exact medical research. The first prize of three thousand dollars is offered to any physician in private practice and not connected with any hospital or dispensary; the second sum of two thousand dollars to any physician or physicians in or connected with public hospitals, insane asvlums or dis pensaries.
 The physician offering these prizes is Dr.. H. H. Kane, of New York whose services to the profession and the public are already well known, and who is the author of several books on the brain and nerves, the opium and morphine habits, &c. He studied the profession in the office of the late Professor Willard Parker, one of the most famous of American doctors.
 The conditions of the competition are as follows:
 The prizes of three thousand dollars and two thousand dollars will be severally award ed by committee composed of three physi- clans; one allopath, one homeopath and one eclectic, and will be awarded for the best es- say on the treatment of diseases of the brain and nerves, and nervous diseases of the heart, stomach and kidneys, each statement made to be proved by experiment. upon at least one hundred cases of that special ner- vous affection. The remedy to be used in all these researches to be the great nervine Scotch Oats Essence, with which Dr. Kane has himself succeeded, in what has secured to him, an almost marvellous manner, in cur ing the most grave and serious cases of brain and nerve diseases, opium habit, &tc.
 He now wishes to have his researches eith- CT proved or disproved by exhaustive re- search by the best physicians of America who are entirely unprejudiced. Scotch Oats Essence certainly seems to be 8 marvellous remedy, and we believe the results to be ob- tained in this competition will be of the greatest value to the entire medical prcfes- sion and the people, and we commend Dr. Kane's course most heartily.
 Essays, when completed and accompanied by pulse-tracing records, &c.,, are to be sealed and sent to Dr. Fl. H. Kane, of New York, who will forward them to the committee of awards. We should be very glad to see one of our own physicians succeed and secure at least one of these prizes.

A STORY OF TEE WAR.
A Coward at ChanceIlorsville is Pre-
 noted for His Ga1lantry.


 From the New York Sun.
 Some of the war veterans who were guests of the Twelfth regiment were exchanging "reminiscences at the table. One of them told this story: "When reaching the Army of the Potomac as a recruit for the New York regiment, twenty-five years ago, just before the Charlottesville campaign, I soon heard of 6 man in nay company whose notoriety for cowardice had made him a subject of many jests during his short service in the camp. Plenty of men are bitten by fear upon going into action, but this fellow had the rare reputation of being sn incurable poltroon, and the mere crack of a rife had often thrown him into fits so violent that two of his comrades had to leave the ranks to keep him in order. He was with the regiment at Chancellorsville on the right when we began to exchange shots with the enemy in that quarter, and he trem- bled so violently that he could not handle his rifle.
 "A small rebel cannonthat had been pulled on to knoll some distance of, and that was playing an Independent game apart from the confederate force, threw d ball that scared him out of his wits. He became blind with fright, broke from the ranks, took to his heels, and. not knowing where to fly, ran directly toward the hostile gun, which was manned by two old Virginia militiamen in gray, who had undertaken to render their State some service. The two virginians behind the ridge suddenly saw the infuriated Yank rush upon them, and, be- lieving him to be followed by his regiment, took to flight, leaving their cannon behind The poltroon stood aghast for a moment alongside the piece of artillery, which he had captured, and almost simultaneously our reg iment, by a rapid advance and few shots, drove back the company of rebels that had been lurking in front, and we held the ground for the time being.
 stBut the wonderful deed of our comrade who seized the enemy's gun had been wit messed by the mounted general of our brig ads, who happened to be relative of his, and within forty-eight hours the fellow who had been the laughing stock of the regiment was promoted for gsllantry in the field. His subsequent rise was rapid, and when I tell you that he afterwards fell wounded at Get tysburg, at the head of the regiment of which he was in command, and that tho gray beard ed veteran himself, who now lives in this city on his pension, uses only spoonful of whits- wash in telling the story just told, you will admit that sometimes things are not what they seeM."

RIG INTEREST

over the Coming Competitive Drills
 Sassacus of New Haven.
 As the time draws near for the much talked of competitive drills among the Patriarchs Militant the interest increases. Sassacus of New Haven will no doubt hold and main- tain her well earned high reputation. The Springfield Republican of yesterday says:
 The competitive drills between canton Spring field Patriarchs Militant, and canton Sassacus of New Haven, promise to be interesting contests. The
 first of the series will be held the 18th at City hall and the second at New Haven February g.. The New Haven canton is said to be the best drilled seni-military body in Connecticut, while the Springfield organization maintain that they excel all others in Massachusetts The winner of the series is supposed to challenge anybody in New England to drill with them. If the two drills do not decide the series, third will be held at Hart ford. The drill in this city will be made the occa- sion of the annual ball. for which Weeds band will furnish music. Canton Springfield will give an ex- hibtion drill at the annual ball of canton Capitol City at Hartford the 18th,

AsoHooL BOY SOVEREIGN.
He Was Eating Tarts When Ho Learn. ed that He Was King.


 From Leeds Mercury]
 When Prince George was chosen King of the Hellenes he was a lad of seventeen or eighteen, and in state of tutelage at the Royal naval school of Denmark. The story goes that the young prince one day, when luncheon time arrived, flung down his books gayly and rushed out to the pastry cook's In school boy fashion to buy some tarts, and sat on bench eating them and swing ing bis feet, without any thought, I sup pose. beyond the present moment The tarts had been wrapped up in piece of newspaper, and Prince George was in the act of showing the paper at the head of school fellow when he saw his own name in big letters at the top of ool- umn. George carelessly read it, and it is not difficult to conceive the lads amaze- ment when a few lines in 8 scrap of paper acquainted him with the destiny before him, and that he had been chosen by the great powers as the klng or Greece. But his gracious majesty was, evidently, still but schoolboy, for We are further told that his way through France to Marseilles, where the young King was to embark for his new dominions, the En- peror of the French had placed very sum ptuOu8 saloon carriage Wltn oln1nR coLn" pertinent, at his majesty's disposal. King George was charmed with the novelty of the affair, and presently took the idea into his head that he would like to test the speed of the train by throwing plate out of the window, and found this such satisfactory mode of passing the time that he kept the attendants busy in sup- plying him with crockery. Keeping up this novel entertainment, the natural result was that when the train reached Marseilles not piece of crockery remained. In the possession of very boyish sense of hum or, I fancy Prince George of Wales must take after his uncle, for the story goes that when his royal kighnsss is at home he keeps Marlborough house, or Sandring- ham, in state of the liveliest commotion with series of wild practical jokes; and the other day when>il: the Mediterranean, being requested by the Duchess of Edinburgh to send her Ca few violets," he sent her a small shipload, and the violets literally ar rived in cart loads at Clarence house, to the mingled amazement and amusment of his august aunt.
