J. H. KOOCLER. Editor. SHEEP AND WOOL as Veas Dailv Gazette.: 7 jie old Reliable Dun Store. Established 1S70. FIERBERT & CO DRUGS, MEDICINES. TOILET ARTICLES, AND PERFUMERY. The iui:'Pi:t!'iii.i' exhibition of sheep, wool and woo! prod nets meet s at Philadelphia till month. Coimnis s'.oncr Le Due has issued a call to till those in this country who aro hit fron ted in these industries to attend this exhibition. II will he given in the main building of the centennial ground during the progress of the l'ennsyh aui.i t Ue fair, and is one of the most wise and practical move ments made hy our agriculturists and manulacturers for many years Kvcii the sheep growers and wool manu facturers themselves have an inade quate knowledge of the extent to which their business has developed since the close of the war throughout the country, and the general public has no concept ion of it. Xo industry among us, probably, has made more steady advance in the quality of its work than wool manu facturing. Twenty years ago no wise householder would buy American dress goods, cloths or carpets. Now, if he is wise, he buys them avowedly as American make, at first cost ; for the chances are that he will buy the same goods at any rate, at an addi tional price, as I'Ycnch, Scotch or En glish. In the durability of his goods the American wool u nnufactuivr is now usually able to cope with his Scotch or French rival, lint there are certain secrets of coloring and softness of texture which he has yet to learn. The same remark is true of our silk manufacturers. It is pro posed to invite foreign competition to this exhibition. The lesson will l.e a useful one, we hope, to our mak ers of merinos and cheviots? Interna tional exhibitions. have a two-edged value; they are as useful in teaching us what we cannot do as in showing other nations what, wc can do. It is the purpose of .Mr. Lc Due and his colleagues in this convention to introduce to the notice of the mass of American sheep breeders the finer breeds of sheep, both of those profita ble for the market and for wool; 'I here is absolutely no reason why the market in New York and Phila delphia should not be supplied with as good homegrown mutton as the London, provided the proper grades of sheep could be introduced to the proper pasturage and climate in this country. Xew Mexico can furnish, and will furnish at this exhibition the largest profits, we believe from sheep grow ing, which, even when carried on un intelligeutly it is profitable. The ig norant farmer in' th Alleghany mountains and herder in Texas who cant read the county papar, who. be gins by earning a sheep or two as by as hard work as did Jacob, who in creased their flock and managed them as lie did, by rules gained solely out of their own shrewd observations, and not from books, and end by pos sess'lig wealth that would have put Hint successful and sharp dealing sheapherd of oi l, far in the back ground. Sheep husbandry, when backed by intelligence, skill and-lar,'c capital, is, probably as certain a road to compe tency, and even fort une as this road affords, it is so important in indus try that it is time its capabilities and resources were honestly and fully- set forth to the public, as vill now be done. Tit b id-: is a quiet little village in the north part of Italy named Moiitanaro The people are poor and could nt raise money to replace the altar in the church which was dilapidated and generally used up. Sunday after Sunday the priest passed around the hat in his congregation lor money to replace the altar and it came back em pty, because the people hud no money Finally, abmit a month ago, the priest appeared in the place with a pair of shears nd laid them on the altar. He then applied to the women to raise the money; asked all who were will ing to sacrifice their hair loi so laudi ble a purpose to come forward and be shorn. Forty-seven noble women re sponded to the appeal, and went up and laid their heads on the block and allowed their beautiful hair to be cut oil from the sale of which enough money was received to replace the old altar with a new one. Speaking of this the humorous editor of the Xew York Times suggest . that the di aeons in American churches, in stead of passing their pluto for con tributions, carry around large baskets and ask the women of the church to drop into it their back hair, which could easily be done without the use ofhheats. In this way a church debt could be paid off.
