A. crreat mativ men and women of this country are too young to remem ber having seen what la known ae tho "good old-fttBhloned Democratic times," and If It was not explained to them they would hardly know it whan that exhibition arrives. When labor gets down to about 60 cents per day when money gets so scarce that most people will hardly know what It looks llko. and when it Is so worthless that they don't care; whon American man ufaoturers shut up shop and Ilrltlsh looms supply our clotljlug and Urltlsh mines and forges furnish our Iron and steel: when wo become hewers of wood and drawers of water for the world, and tako as our recompense whatever it may please monled Europe to give in return, this will be "good old-fashioned Democratic times." That these times are coming there is no doubt. Tho advance guard is arriving and tho noise of the burst Ing banks and the quiet of the stop ping mills and factory wheola an nounce that these times are drawing near; and when tho MoKinloy tarlfl law goes down under tho rcleutloss attacks of Cleveland and his Congress about to come together for that pur pose, good old-fashloncd Democratic times will bo upon us in full force. The advance agents have been along and we see in the telegraphic dispatch es evidence of their work. Following are some of the examples: Norwalk, Conn., manufacturers are experiencing the dullest season they have ever known. Hutchinson, Cole & Co., shirt manufacturers, have been shut down three weeks. Roth & Gold smith, corset manufacturers, employ' ing nearly 500 operatives, one of the largest concerns of the kind in this country, are idle. Several hat shops, employing hun dreds of men and women, are doing practically nothing, and to-night the Norwalk Lock Company laid off 100 men indefinitely because of dullness in trade. Many largo mills in New England, such as tho Manchester mills, the Pembroke, Webster and China mills, and the New York Manufacturing Company, of Saco, will soon shut down. The closing of the Amoskeag mills will undoubtedly be followed by the closing of other largo iiisnufucturing concerns In New England.oud perhaps New York. The agent of Waumbeck company at Milton, N. H.,has Issued orders for tho closing of the mills for three months as soon as the goods now in process of manufacture are finished. The reason assigned for this action is a lack of or ders, except at ruinous prices. This is the first time in the history of this company that work has been ordered to cease on account of the condition of the markets and the result of the present action will be a serious blow to any employes who are dependent up on their earnings In these mills for support. At a directors' meeting held In Port land, Me., last Thursday, it wasdecld ed to shut down the mills of the West brook Manufacturing company, mak ers of glnghoms, from July 29 to Sep tember 4. The Chateaugay Ore & Iron Com pany, whose Iron and ore foundries aw located at Hon Mountain, N. Y., closed down last Thursday, as did also the Crown Point Iron Company, min ers and Iron makers at Crown Point. The cause Is dullness In the Iron trade. About 1000 men are tliuuyi out of em ployment. fajPfegl A Fall River, aituJlBPWpa'cli of July 20, says : Odd good are selling in this market on a basis of three eeuU for 64 by 04, but few sale of m y mo mentare reported. - A loeal paper "Predictions are mad.- that some mill will have to break or ell below oot o get money to pay their help if Uu looms are to be kept In motion. Te air Is full of talk of a shut down or a re duction In wages." The only manufacturing establish ment at Fonda, N. Y., is a knitting mill, and In oonsequenee of the pre vailing depression In business it ba-t shut down until further notice. The Pettlnglll paper box factory at Pride's Hill, is also dosed. It is the only man ufacturing enterprise in that village. These are the signs of the coming of "good old-fashioned Democratic tlraef," and they will be soon on us in full force. The poor man will be able to feed and clothe ills family and hlni .aelf at a great deal lej money tha n now, but Uie trouble will be to get the money. The mill and factories will be closed, railroad construction will stop, farm produote will go begging at starvation rotes, and about the only lively enitilojment will be that of the constable, the ehorlirnnd the assignee Good old-fashioned Democratic times" have not been here for a quar ter of it century and tvhtm we get It turned on In full force, the most hide bound victim of thin Democratic hallucination will bo glad to bid them good bye forever.

S6c , Highest of all In Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSOUUTEIf ' PURE EXCITING ENCOUNTER. Two Hunters Meet Some Mean VlndUotlvo Bears. The IlrutM Hail I.mtracil tlin Art u Htono-Tlirnwliiic nml l'motlvm! It to Tlielr Henri's Content Door lyllouglit Victory. Samuel and Uriah Ilepler, brothers, and noted hunters, who reside at "Hell's ICitchcn," some twenty miles northwest of Hazleton, N. Y., had an exciting time of it the other day. Tho Heplers are among the most expert woodsmen In the state. Thoy are veritable giants, possessing enormous strength and athlotic prowoss, and tlielr skill with the rltle is remarkable. Several years ago these two rn, who had been reared In the wilo ol Sullivan county, decided to abandon tho scenes of their early conquests. Migrating to ' Brush valley, where game was, however, not so plentiful as in the forests of Sullivan, they pur chased a small farm and tilled It for a livelihood. With tiio oxecption of nn occasional scrap with a bear or panther, nothing occurred to disturb the quietude of their surroundings until the other day, when Uriah, upon going to Ids pig pen, discovered that four of his eight porkers were missing. Ho in formed his brother, nnd they pro ceeded to investigate. Their practical eyes soon detected tho familiar bear tracks and also rovealed to tho astonished men that two full-grown bears had been cngngod in the theft. It is a well-known fact that n pig he comes terrified and helpless ot sight of a bear and would profer to encounter the devil himself than old Bruin. He Is unablo to utter a single grunt or mako any show of dofense, hence ho is absolutely in tho power of his enemy. Tho men decided to get oven with tho bears. They took thoir rillos, a supply of ammunition and the only dog thoy had at tho timo and started in pursuit. It took the dog only a mo nont to ilnd the trail, and, with a pro onged howl, ho bounded off in a north- nm mur.s nAD i.nAitNF.n tub aht op STOXE-TUnOWINO. easterly direction, followed by the men. After traversing on intricate laby rinth of underbrush for three-quarters of a mile thoy camo upon the dog 1 arking furiously at the collapsed ruins of an old stone mansion, built many years ago b a rich but eccentric settler. The hunters surmised by the actions of the dog that the bears were not faraway. The dog, urged on by his master, mounted the heap of stone, while tho men remained below. Suddenly thcro was a swish through tho air, and a rock weighing not less than ten pounds shot out from tho aperture in tho ruins, nnd the next moment the life loss remains of thoir noble dog lay at their feet. The stone had knocked off part of the dog's head and spent its force against an oak tree close to where the hunters stood. The men soon recovered thoir sonsos, md, after n hurried consultation, con eluded that the bears had learned the art of stone-throwing to perfection. They were somewhat puszled how to proceed. Uriah, after recounoitering a short time, climbed the stone pile cautiously. When he reached the top he peered over the wall. It was al most a tatai move, tor scarcely nau ne time to withdraw ills neau when ai shower of heavy ctones shot forth and continued to pop out at brief intervals for fully a minute. Uriah escaped unhurt, and he had "aught sight of the bears and also of his missing pigs, which the bears had killed and partly devoured. There was no further doubt as to the idon tlty of the stout) throwers. Undecided wbat uounm to pursue, the brothers stood discussing the situ ation. when suddenly the rifle dropped from Samuel's hand as he received a crushing blow on the right shoulder. Looking around the men saw both hears on top of the stone pile. Just at that moment two more stones whlsged oust their ears with such force as to break large limb off trees In their course. Itefore the bears had time to throw igain two rillos rang out, the monsters taggered, pawed the air wildly, and. with a mighty rpsr, toppled over and rolled to the ground dead. Samuel was obliged to raise his gun with one hand, owing to the blow he had received. Ills right arm being prac tically useless. The bears were of enormous size and weight, requiring a i.trong team of horses to haul the pair o the Ilepler furm. A JHlly Iitnalt. R.wle- f see you arc wather gont on -Miss Bullion, old chap.

TRUE COSMOPOLIS OF EUROPE, Tiie Iforrlcn I'oj.uUtlon of rnrln Includrs 4,000 Vcom Tlila Country, Tho cosmopolitan character of tho population of Paris has frequently been commontod upon. Tho French capital Is full of luxurious loungers all the time, men and women in whom the lovo of thoir own country Is entirely oxtlnct, or who find Faris a plcasanter sojourning place than any other. Thoy aro tho butterfilos of tho world, the people who havo more tlmo and monoy than they know how to spend, and to whom tho changing lif oof Paris has tho charm that usually accompa nies vnriety. They aro drones in tho busy hives of Fronch Industry. But according to tho Itochcstcr Herald tho working. bees are also foreign to a very great extent. In 1880 tho popu lation of Paris was 2,334,550. Just what proportion of this number wero foreigners is not shown by avallablo statistics, but a recent official state ment gives the present number 0.9 close upon 800,000. These peoplo are of for eign nationality, but hold a permanent restdenco In Faris. It is estimated that 80,000 arc men capable of bearing arms. What a scattering of them there would bo in tho event of a gen eral European warl It is stated that of this great foreign contingent, tho 4,000 Americans form tho aristocracy, slnco all tho others belong mainly to tho working classes. A very largo part of tho labor of Paris is performed by aliens. Belgium furnishes 00,000 day laborers, hatters and domostio servants. Switzerland sends 35,000 butchers, waiters, paint ors and glaziers. Germany supplies 40,000 liquor dealers, hotel-kcepors and olerks; whllo Italy Is credited with a lileo number of plumbers, glaziers, street musicians and that character istic Farislan class of labor, the artists' models. Russians to tho number of 12,000 arc largely tanners and saddlers. England, the ancient oncmy of Franco, contributes 14,000 servants, most of whom aro coachmen and grooms. From this hasty summary it will be seen that nearly every department of labor has a largo foreign clement. Even tho municipal gas works and slaughter houseB, together with the sower department, aro employing so many foreigners that tho propriety of restricting tho publio service to French citizens is being seriously con sidered. In case of war the danger to Franco of this great body of aliens, owing no allegiauco to her, and many of them from nations naturally an tagonistic, would certainly bo great. Tho organization of a special police force to keep a sharp watch on tho several foreign colonics would almost seem a necessity. Such action is said to bo strongly contemplated. THE POP WEED. A Peculiar I'ralrU Plant Found Plentiful ly In (lie Dnkotat. A residont of South Dakota gives the following description of this strange plant: "It is of rank growth, but little less than marvelous In its way. It has a stalk like tho cabbage plant with a largo round top the size of a Hubbard squash and about tho sarao color. There aro thousands of acros of it on the Indian reservations. In the vicinity of alkali beds it grows to a prodigious size "When the terrific northwest winds blow lute in the fall the pop-balls bo como detached from the stalk and roll for miles over tho prairies, until they reach uneven country or other obstruc tions, whero thoy accumulate and pllo up liko high houses of snow. Behind these banks of weeds the wild buffalo found shelter in midwinter from the fierce blizzards. If tho pop weed ball eomes forcibly in con tact with any hard object whilo rolling it explodes with a tremendous report, a cloud of fine powder passes on through the air, and thousands of sharp, fine needles aro thrown out in every direction. These needles aro the seeds of the pop weed and aro what produco the mischief with stock, for thoy are very penetrating. A 'critter' will run from a rolling pop weed liko a jack rabbit from a coyoto. "The Indians tell strange nnd inter esting stories about tho weed. It is Baid that the young braves of tho tribe, for discipline and to prepare them selves to onduro groat torture, would fight with these pop-balls as school boys do with snow-balls. 'The battle of the pop weed' Is held once a year, and is witnessed by the whole tribe with great pomp and parade. To the young brave the occasion is what the fourth of July Is to the white Ameri can youth. There is the noise and smoke of battle to perfection, and the fine, sharp needles cause intense pain. The greatest exhibitions of bravery are rewarded by promotion in the tribe, and presentations of handsome bead work are made by tho young braves' best squaws or maidens."
