From Brown <fc Co's monthly
wool circular we learn that Pennsvl
vania wool shares, with the staple from
Ohio and West Virginia the honor of
being at the top of the market. The
differ nt grades of wool from these
three States command from two to
five cents more per pound than corres
ponding erades from any other part of
the world.

Some people attend a lecture with
the intention of listening to and being
benefitted by it, some go for the same
reason tliev po to church, to display
their new clothing and others to criti
cise, not the lecture, but tbe dresses,
hats, etc., on exhibition. This they
do there and then, and by their con
tinual chatter prevent persons sitting
near them from hearing what the lec
turer is saying.
Thousands of people, who are pfflict
ed with a diseased liver, indicest'on,
heartburn, waterbrasb, sour stomach,
or a generally intolerable biliousness,
as it is termed, use mercury. This is
done reluctantly perhaps, but the com
mon-place argument is, Oh, nothing
will reach the liver and spleen except
blue mass. Could I get something
else I wouldn't use it. Reader, you
can get something else, and that some
thing else is Simmon's Liver Regula

—Gen. Latta has finally succeeded
in securing free transportation for the
entire National Guard of Pennsvlvania,
to and from Washington, and it will
probably participate in the inauguration
of President elect J. A. Garfield, ontbe
4th of March. It is also thou?ht that
the eruard will be rearmed, ( revious to
that date, with the new Springfield
rifle, of the pattern now in use in the
army of Uncle Sam. The gun is a
lighter, handsomer and more effective
weapon than the one with which the
guard is now armed.

State Constitution provides that "No

wise any other competing line of tele
graph" The Western Union and
American Union telegraph companies
have consolidated, and an injunction

Court to restain the consolidated com
pany from doing business in this State.

—The Cincinnati Gazette is puzzled
to know why anybody should oppose
a perpetual bond bearing 3 per cent,
interest. It says.- "Such a bond would
, never be much above par. and the Gov
! eminent could buy it in the open mar
| ket when in a financial condition to re
duce the principal of the debt. If the
Government shall be able to borrow
money at 3 per cent, the country can
afford to have the national debt run a
little longer. The people who pay the
taxes cannot borrow money that low,
and they would not object to a breath
ing spell or partial relief."
—Among the special petitions made
by the devout person who observed the
the Week of Prayer were some for the
press. For this evidence of thought
fulness we are sure all editors will be
profoundly <rrateful, as well as for the
graceful compliment implied by their
not being prayed for until late in the
week, as if they were abler than other
men to get along without heavenly as
sistance. Late or early, however, the
prayers vi'l come in handy, for the
press, like the Church, is carrying l the
whole world on its mind, and the load
at times becomes a staggerer.

—A strange homicide occurred in
an eastern city lately. Two poor
families occupy the same house, the
mothers supporting them by laundry
work, On the day in question the
two women were at work, leaving
their children at play in an upper
room. One of the mothers, hearing
her child, an infant less than one year
of age, crying, hurried to the room
and found the little one in great agony,
its face being badly burned. The
three year old child of the other wo
man admitted that it had caused the
injuries with a poker heated in the
stove. The baby soon died, and it
was found that the poker had been
thrust down its throat.
—I have been a sufferer for years with
Catarrh, and under a physiciaus treat

immediate relief. I believe lam now
entirley cured. G S. Davis, First Na
tional Bank, El»z\beth, N. J,. Aug. 14,
1879.
By far the best remedy for the treat
ment of Catarrh and itskindrediliseases
is Ely's Cream Balm, which is having
the largest sales with us of any prep
aration now oft", red. The reports are
all favorable, and we do not hesitate to

—One of the most noteworthy of
the reports made to Congress by the
beads of departments in the Govern
ment service is i hat of Hon. W. B.
Thompson, the General Superintend
ent of the Bailway Mail Service.
This marvelous organization, un
known in any other country, is pecu
liarly an American institution, and one
of which the United States may well
be proud. It embraces ('»!) lines ot
railway postoflice, and including steam
boat routes, tin' annual service foots up
102,166,001 miles, on which mails are
constantly being received, distributed
and delivered, with a saving in time
over the old methods, upon each letter
or package handle 1, or from twelve to
twenty-four hours.
—lt is rum >red that Secretary
Schurz will is! ike his home in St.
Louis after the kh of March next, and
will pay attention to editing his Ger
man newspapers. This is a very re
spectable busine.-s, but it leads to politi
cal complicatio-i*. If Mr. Schurz wants
to be happy ai d independent let him
buy a farm and edit that. A farmer
who has bis Inr.d paid for, has a good
wife and a good library need not envy
the condition of any other man in th
world.
—Of the 7,307 miles of raiiroad
built in 1880 uure than one-half, or
3,808 miles, were laid in the States
and Territories west of the Mississippi.
The rapidity with which railroad con
struction is going on in that portion of
the Union presages a still greater in
crease in its population during the next
ten years than the census shows for
the last decade. Already in the region
west of the Mississippi considerably
more than a fifth of the population of
the country is gathered, whereas in
18C.0 the proportion was ouly about a
tenth.

—Chicago's receipts for 1880 include
about a hundred and sixty-five million
bushels of grain and flour, a billion
and five hundred million feet of lumber,
six hundred and fifty million shingles,
and a hundred and twenty-five million
dollars' worth of hogs, horses, cattle,
ami sheep. Of course Chicago receiv
-1 ed other things, but it is hardly worth
i while to mention anything less than
billions or hundreds of millions.
—Among inventors and mechanics
i there is now a rivalry as to who shall
! produce a machine that will consume
smoke. There are those who think
the Government ought to offer a pre
mium for the best machine that can be
| produced to accomplish this eonsump-
I tion. We do not agree with these
people. For every original invention
the Government gives a patent right,
which protects the inventor and enables
him to make a profit out of his inven
tion, which often runs into a monopoly.
This is sufficient reward, without rtin
uing the Government into the folly of
adding premiums to this means of ma
king money. A machine to burn
smoke, that would answer the purpose
practically, would enrich the inventor.
—Constantly recurring calamities
point to the fact that the public charit
able institutions of our country are
built with a lamentable lack of regard
for human life. The last case is that
of the Dover, N. H., almshouse, burn
ed lately with the probable loss of
thirteen lives. This building, like
moiit of its class, was undoubtedly
flimsily built and provided with entire
ly insufficient fire e.\its. The terrible
loss ol life by the burning of the Minne
sota Insane Asylum at St. Peter is
still fresh in miud, and the very recent
calamities at Buffalo and New York
City emphasize the lesson. In addition
to the cases named four persons were
lately burned te death in New York
City by an explosion in a brewery,
and on the same day a mother and
daughter died by fire in Fort Scott,
Kansas. There seems to be a fire wave
throughout the country.

—The Republican members of the
Ohio Legislature have nominated Sec
retary Sherman by acclamation as
their canditate for United States Sena
tor. This insures his election, and the
country will be well pleased to see him
again in his old place of influence. It
would have felt deeper satisfaction if
he were to remain at the head of the
Treasury Department, which he has
administered with signal ability and
brilliant success; but it appreciates the
political and personal reasons which
led him to prefer a less laborious po
sition If the Republicans organize the
Senate Mr. Sherman will, ofcourse.be
restored to bis old position as chairman
of the Finance Committee. Whether
in that position or any other he will be
the most trusted guide of legislation on
financial subjects, and his judgment
and counsel will always besought by

—lf Mr. Springer's proposition for
making the new apportionments of
representatives in Congress on the
present basis of 293 members should be
adoped, its first effect would probably
be to diminish the chances of the Terri
tories now seeking admission as States.
For in dividing the total population of
1880. exclusive of the Territories and
of the District of Columbia, by 293,
the ratio for a member of Congress
would be 168,498. The population of
Utah is 143,907, sothit this fact might
be brought up as a reoson for not ad
mitting her, independently of the ques
tion of polygamy. Dakota also has
but 134,502, and New Mexico but 118,-
430. Still, such an apportionment
would only diminish chances : it would
not bar them out. It has never in
practice been held necessary that a
Territory should have population equal :
to the ratio for a member of Congress;
Nevada to-day does not have half of
that population. Still, the higher that
ratio the stronger might be the argu
ment against admitting Territories that
did not come up to it.

—Some one has brought to light an
old Portugues law that might be copied
into modern statute books to the bene
! fit of some families and the barm of
: none ;it forbids widows of in;.re than
fifty years of age to marrv because, as
stated iu the preamble to the law,
| "experience has shown that women
of that age common!}* marry young
men of no property, who dissipate the
fortunes such marriages put them in
I possession of." Some prominent cases
| that almost everyone will recall show
the wisdom of the Portuguese Soiyn
i wht drafted this law but except that
j proj>e:ty is what law principally con
i cerus itself with there is no reason why
I the restriction should not have extended
to widowers as well as widows, for
the tendency of old men who marry is
also to seek young companions, and if
the wife does not dissipate her hus
band's property the chance? are largely
in favor of his doing it for her. Uu
| equal marriages generally are sure signs
| of old heads grown fooli-.-h, aud"there's
no fool like an old fool."
* —As might have been anticipated,
the contemplated consolidation of the
three leading telegraph companies of tiie
country is creating no small d"gree of
apprehension. Protests against the
proposed combination are being signed
in New York, and a bill has been pre
pared for introduction in Congress to
prevent extortionate tollsfor telegraph
ic service. As to the constitutional
power to regulate charges for the trans
mission of messages there may be
some question, but no doubts on that
score will probably be allowed to stand
iu the way of an effective measure for
checking the abuse of a monopoly
which comes so close to the interests
of tbe people in the transaction of so
great and rapidly-growing a part of
their correspondence. What this coun
try needs, among the practical every
day appliances which mostcontribute to
the convenience of its citizens, is cheap
telegraphy. We have realized cheap
postage, and its popular benefits have
been immense. At some future day
we shall enjoy the postal telegraph,
which has worked so admirably iu
Great Britain.
—lt is seldom that so pleasing a
performance is given here, as that
which was enjoyed in the Court House
last Thursday evening, and which was
given by the "Germania" Orchestra,
assisted bj r the "Philharmonic" socie
ty of this place. Since Dr. Von
Meyerhoff has been in Butler he has
had charge of the Orchestra and he is
rapidly bringing it up to the highest
standard in the art of music. He Ps a
first-class musician himself, as his
solo performances prove, and that he
is a good conductor can readily be seen
by auvone. The performance of the
orchestra was unusually good. The
'•grand melody of National Airs," was
the best appreciated by the audieuce,
probably on account of their acquaint
ance with them. The clarinet and
cornet solos, by Messrs. M. A. Low
man aud Robert McClelland, were
well rendered and well accompanied.
The Pr.'s address on "women and
music" was well received and in it he
paid a well deserved compliment to
Miss Bell Lowry, of this place. The
concert was a success, and our citizens
will have an opportunity of enjoying
another on the evening of the 17th of
next month.

—The adventures of the intrepid
Russiau explorer. Col. Pr.-hevalskv.
in the frontiers of China and Tibet,
promise to furnish the most interesting
contributions to geography since the
davsofPr. Livingstone. Only meagre
accounts of his explorations have been
received at long intervals, but enough
has been told to make every reader
impatient for the complete narrative.
The map makers wili be likely to have
work enough before Col. I'rsheval.sky
gets through. They will have to
straighten out the big bend that they
now give to the great Chinese river
Hoang-Ho, and revise their charts of
the mountain ranges near the borders
of the Flowery Kingdom. The Russian
traveller found snow-capped mountains
along the river so steep and lofty that
he concluded he could not cross them.
A kind of glory has departed from Asia
since the announcement that Mount
Hercules in New Guinea overtops the
highest of the Himalagas, and merely
for the sake of the fitness of things, it
is to be hoped that Col. Prshevalsky
will lind some peak lofty enough to
win back the precedence for the greatest
of the continents. Nobody likes to
have an out-of-the-way island like New
Guinea possess the culminating point
of the globe.
