That domestic wool is iaftrior to for —The very revet-e of this statement is j :rue. In strength of fibre and durability of j fabric our home grown wool is far uj>erior i to thai which is imported. Every maaafac 1 surer who ha# tested lb*' matter will corro- j borate the statement. Writers in the for- ! eign wool selline interest freely declare that \ a proportion cf foreign wool is necessary for j mixing with the domestic, and that in itsabe j scnoe the manufacture of the home fleeces I mast decline. The statement is utterly er roneous. The only pretext for it is in the adaptation of machinery, in certain factories to this mixture. Every month is reinor tue this mechanical impediment to the su pre in aey of domestic wools. The progress of manufacturers, in this respect, has been wonderful the past year. Cotswold and Leicester combing wools are in fact scarce, j but the deficiency can be easily supplied tn a fc-w years, and the inert lion of our manu , facturers, impatient of delay, has found an j excellent substitute in the long fibre of | Merino grades, by the aid of changes, in the machinery by which it is wrought. Very little wool, except carpet grades, which are ! admitted with less duty than the wool grow • er pays as tax;#, is now required ty macu i facturers from foreign aoenxs.

I). I. EN. HARNEY AS A RISSIiR. Gen. Harney, who is now sixty-seven rears of age. is six feet three inches in height, and is as straight as an arrow, and in his younger days used to excel every In dian on the Plains with whom be came in contact in running, jumping, and wrestling. He is known universally among the Indians as the "fastest runner." He tells us that he was never badly pressed but once, and that was many years ago. when he was en camped at the Man-laa vi.,age. on the Mis souri river. The Indians had brought in their fastest runner, and challenged the General to run. All the tribes in that part of the country wore present, and all were in high glee, thinking they had a sure thing. Gen. Harney prepared himself, and went about a half a miie from camp across a ra vine. which was as near as the Indians were avowed to come to his camp, and met them. T'e Indians were so confident of winning the race, that they bet everything they possess ed on the re-suit, and the officers of Harney's command also backed their favorite to the fullest extent. The Indians would bet a buffalo rone against a plug ot tobacco, or a pony a gainst a few pounds of sugar or coffee. The distance ran was SOO yards and one from each side chosen to start them, and as judges of the race. The Indian got almost 16 feet the advantage of the General on the -tart, bat suppasine that he could beat the Indian easily he did not mind it at first; but it was a long distance to gain, and by patting forth his utmost efforts and starting every nerve, he only beat the Indian three feeL The Indian dropped upon theground at the end of the race, er.baosted, and was so much chagrined at his defeat that he would, under no circumstances, come near theGeoeral again. The General would only accept a few trifling things for his winnings, but gave the best hack to the Indian. From that time be has been known among the In dians as "the fastest runner," and his influ ence is in proportion to his popularity. V ASPIRES. Vampires, so called, are bv no means pe culiar to Brazil, hut the veritable creature insinuated itseif into the company of Amer ican- which arrived in that country a few days ago. The writer says; "A party of Americans went up the Am nion a few days ago, and one of them was bled so badly by a vampire as to wake, in a state of exhaustion, with a face like a corpse; the foot of his hammock and the floor be neath it were saturated with blood, the flow of which was staunched with great difficulty. It is the difficulty of staunching the blood which makes the vampire so dreaded, the quantity which the creature requires to sat isfy his appetite being comparatively trifling. Some persons seem to be especially liable to their attacks, while others can sleep in a room infected with them nightly with im punity. A gentleman living near Parra, and whose house stands on the bank of an igarape, tells me that his room is seldom without one or more Tampires in it after dark, and they have never molested him, although they have bled an unlucky goat in a shed beneath his window until the crea ture was unable to stand, and was shot as an act of mercy. A young English lady who was visiting at this house was bitten on the first night of her arrival, and in spite of the precautions used, was again bitten a few days afterwards, bleeding from a wound on the under side of her toe until much weak ened. These animals only make their at tacks in darkness, and a light kept burning in the sleeping room is an effectual safe guard. A physician, long resident here, tells me that although poisonous reptiles are somewhat plenty in the province, the seri ous accidents from this cause scarcely amount to half a dozen annually in a popu lation of 30,<300. But enough of reptiles for the present." THE BIRTHPLACE OE GENU S. —lt is one of the mysteries of lite that genius, that no blest gift of God to man, is nourished by poverty. Its greatest works have been achieved by the sorrowing ones of the world in tears and despair. Not in the brilliant saloon, furnished with every comfort and elegance: not in the library well fitted, soft ly carpeted, and looking out upon a smooth green lawn or a broad expanse of scenery; not in ease and competence is genius born and nurtured, bnt more frequently in ad versity and destitution, amidst the harrass ing cares of a straitened household, in bare and fireless carrels, with the noise of squal id children in the midst of the turbulence of domestic contentions, and in the deep gloom of nncheered despair, is genius horn and reared. This is its birthplace, ana in scenes like these, unpropitions, repulsive and wretched, have men labored, studied, and trained themselves until they have at last emanated out of the gloom of that ob scurity, the shining lights of their times become the companions of the kings, the guides and teachers of their kind, and ®*er cised an influence upon the thought of the worid amounting to a species of intellectual legislation.

AMERICAN GIRLS.—In our American life the natural dependence of woman upon cir cumstances is increased by a variety of causes. Here woman has a peculiar deli cacy of physical constitution that makes her especially sensitive to influence, even when in tolerable health, and renders it very difficult for her to keep herself in full health Whether it is the climate, or our way of living, or whatever inay be the cause, the fact l- certain that the American girl is a very delicate plant; beautiful, indeed, in comparison with others,—more exquisitely organized than the English and German girl, and more self-relying than the Italian, yet not generally strong in nerve aod mus cle. and too ready to fade before her true mid tummer has come. The statistics giv en of American woman, may he too partial, and too exclusively with the dark side of the subject; yet the facts stated cannot be ques tioned. and if there be a brighter side (he dark side must still be recognized. We have heard persons who might he expected to know what they say. declare that they can hardly name a single instance of per fect health among the young women of their acquaintance, and the physicians whom we near speaking of the subject not seldom lose their patience in setting forth the miseries of feminine invalidism, with its shattered nerves and morbid circulations. If half of what is said is true, it is one half more than ought to be so: and if our mothers had not been better gifted with maternal faculties than the candidates now ready for the bridal ring, the present num ber of the native American population could be accounted for only by miracle, not by natural descent THE TNTV ox LlFE.—Between the years of forty-five and sixty, a m%n who has properly regulated himself may be consid ered in the prime of his life. His matured strength of constitution renders him almost impervious to the attack of disease, and ex perience has given soundness to his judge ment. His mini is resoiute, firm, and equal; all his functions are in the highest order; he assumes mastery over business: builds up a competence on the foundation he has found in early manhood, and passes through a period of life attended by many gratifications. Having gone a year or two past sixty, be arrives at a stand stilL But athwart this is a viaduct, cailed the tarn of life: which, if crossed in safety, leads to the valley of "'old age,"' round which the river winds and then beyond without a boat or causeway to effect its passage.

Gout and apo plexy are also in the vicinity to waylay the traveler, and thrust him from the pass, but let him gird up his loins and provide him self with a fitter-staff, and he may trudge in safety with perfect composure. To quit metaphor, "The Turn of life isa turn either into a prolonged walk or into the grave.

MARK TWAIN'S TURKISH LUNCH.— I never want another one. The cooking ap paratus was in the little lunch room near the bazar, and it was all open to the street. —The cook was dirty, and so was the tabic and it bad no cloth on it. The leilow took a mass of sausage meat and coated it round a wire and laid it on a charcoal fire to cook. When it was done he laid it aside, and a dog walked sadly in aod nipped it He smelt it first, and probably recognized the remains of a friend. The cook took it away from him and laid it before us. Brown said, i pass." He plays euchre sometimes; and we all pass it in turn. Then the cook baked a broad, fiat wheaten eako, greased it well with the suasage and started to bring it to us. It dropped in the dirt, and he picked it up and polished it on the seat of his breeches and laid it before us, Brown said, "I pass." We all passed and called a new deaf. He put some eggs in a frying pan and stood passively prying slabs of meat from between his teeth with a fork. 1 hen he used the fork to turn the eggs with, and brought tbem along.—Brown said, I pass." All followed suit. We did not know what to do, and so we ordered a new ration of sausage. The cook got out bis wire, apportioned a proper amount o. saus age HI eat, spit on his hand-, and .'-II to work. This time, with one word, .we all passed out We paid and left. That is all I learned about Turkish lunch. Turkish lunch is good, no doubt, but it has its weak points.
