THE TARIFF BURDEN ON THE
 WOOLEN INDUSTRY,


 Te falling off in the importation here last month of Argentine wool of up- wards of 100000 pounds in a total of 19,5S0,0 in May, 1S97 will cause gem eral surprise because there are, as far as known, no natural causes operating against the wool-raising there, as is the case in Australia, where drought and scarcity of food have proved so disas- trous to the tlocks. It is true that in the aggregate receipts of wool for the past month at Boston, New York and Philadelphia, ports at which 9S per cent. of all the imported wool is enter ed, show a falling off of some 36,000 pounds, but no one country shows any where near such decrease as does Argentina. This is the more surpris- ing because our manufacturers had come to look upon this wool as sat isfactory fibre, having given excellent results wherever used. The peculiar cordoba" wool which is produced there fills, it is claimed, want that has been felt by our manufacturers, and for which they find no substitute in the domestic yield. It would seem as though the inequality, which was brought so forcibly before the confer ence committee on the present tariff by MT. Theodore Search and othrs, relat- ing to the duties on these South Amer ican wools, was proving now the truth of their assertions at that time.
 In discussing this question one of the largest manufacturers said: "The possibility of importing from the south ern hemisphere washed Lincoln cross- bred wool at the twelve-c cents un- washed duty of the second class, has been guarded against by a provision defining as firstLclass wool crushed fieeces containing merino blood even if remote. These conditions apply to the classification of all these wooIs coming from the southern hemisphere. They would be classified as wools of the first-class regardless of their length or coarseness of fibre even if they were so coarse as to be more suitable for carpet purposes than for any other use. It is absurd and inconsistent to have wools of apparently the same kind and character, although from different countries, dutiable at two quite differ ent rates. Yet such has always been and still is the law"
 The result of this is that the Argen- tina wools cannot be imported washed unless by paying double the duty as-

A REMARKABLE COLONEL.

Gen. Bryant of Madison recently told the following story of Gov. Broughs organization in Ohio of a regiment at the time John Morgan made his raid through the state. "The governor kept close track of the great Confederate raider He found that Morgan, with his large force, would pass a given point at a certain hour the next day. So he had a train load of arms, equip ments, and ammunition made ready, and himself, his adjutant-general, and other members of the staff prepared to make an extensive trip. He tele- graphed to various stations along the line to have companies raised, ready to get on to his train, and go to a point for regimental organization.
 "When ten companies were ready the train stopped, and the various compan- ies elected their officers, the governor pormising that their commissions would be forwarded a little later. That done he said: Whom will you have for colonel of this regiment?"
 Somebody called out that John Farmer would be the best man to command the regiment The governor

sessed upon them as unwashed, or twenty-two cents per pound, whereas washed wool of the second class is admissible upon payment of a twelve cent duty.
 But aside from the advantages which the Argentine wool offered to our New England manufacturers, there was decidd saving made by them in the way of water freight as compared with those which they have to pay the rail- roads for transporting the domestic wool from the west. The freight charge on wool from Argentina to Boston are about forty cents one hun dred pounds by steamer, and about ten cents less by sailing vessel. This means a saving of from 2S to 30 per cent. over the railroad charges from Columbus; 43 per cent. from Chicago and 67 to 70 per cent. from Chicago, and 67 to 70 per cent. from Dallas, a no in- considerable saving in these times, when everything has to be done on the most economic basis possble.-Boston Transcript.

had John Farmer brought to him, and said: MT. Farmer, I want you to take command of this regiment and lead it down to the place where Morgan will appear, and help to head off the gentle- man.
 "'But, governor, don't know any, thing about this military business
 "'Well, your friends say you are the best to be colonel, and want you to take the position. There is no time to lose'
 All right, if they think will an- swer I'll do the best I can
 'The governor promised to send his commission the following week.
 Now, Col. Farmer, get your troops together and we will issue arms and ammunition said the governor.
 When that was done Col. Farmer proceeded to get his regiment into mo- tion in this manner:
 "'Get into two strings in the road here, all looking the same way, and when we start out want you to walk right clus together and stick to yer gait until we get where we're going to- and when the battle begins I want you to come right up in a bunch and stay there, and load and fire until old John Morgan turns and runs
 At this point somebody called for Three cheers for Col. Farmer They were given, and then the colonel gave the command, Grab guns, powder, shot and the other flxin's. and we'll go af- ter Morgan
 "Col. Farmer wasn't much of mili- tary man, and his troops were not dress parade soldiers, but they got into bunch in time to give John Morgan some struggling vnlleys that did him and his crowd a heap of harm. They were called the minute men. and were mustered out soon after Morgan's raid- CTS were captured or driven out of the state. ."-Chicago Times Herald.

DEATH OF MRS. JOHN E. EARLE.

DEATH OF MRS. JOHN F. EARLE.
 The death of Sarah $. Earle, widow of the late Colonel John D. Earle, oc- cured last night at her residence, 251 Lawrence street. Mrs. Earle had been in delicate health for number of years and had spent the winters in the south. She went south last winter, but her health was not benefited by the sojourn there and she returned in ill-health and had declined steadily since. She was a Hartford lady and came to New Haven soon after her marriage.
 Her husband, Colonel John E. Earle, was one of the leading patent attorneys of Connecticut and was also at one time one of the leading members of the board of education. He was also colonel on the staff of one of the gover- nors of Connecticut.
 Mrs Earle leaves two sons and one daughter. One of the sons is F. c. Earle of Earle & Seymour, the patent attorneys. The other son is James P. Earle, the hatter One son, Joseph, now deceased, was assistant postmaster under Benjamin R. English. Mrs. Earle was highly cultured and a most estima- ble woman.

PRESSURE OF THE SEA.

There are spots in the ocean where the water is five miles deep. If it is true that the pressure of the water on any body in the water is one pound to the square inch for every two feet of the depth anything at the bottom of one of the ''five-mile holes" would have a pressure about it of 13,200 feet to every square inch. There is nothing of human manufacture that would resist such a pressure. That it exists there is no doubt It is known that the pres- sure on a well-corked glass bottle at the depth of three hundred feet is so great that the water will force it's way through the pores of the glass. It is also said that pieces of wood have been weighted and sunk in the sea to such a depth that the tissues have become so condensed that the wood has lost it's buoyancy and would never float again. It could not be even made to burn when dry.-Chicago Chronicle.
