THE GREAT POPLAR DEMONSTRATION.
Opening of the Wood Pulp Works AT
Manayunl1, and Speeches by the Wood
Pulpers.
The staid city OF Manayunk was last Thursday
surprised by an inroad OF liter-rats from the
principal cities of the Union. They had all
come TO see a Mill, and it being paper MILL
instead OF a real one, saved the visitors from
arrest by our vigilant police. Alter the
''pulpers" were taken through the SETTLING
pond" the ''lime-kilns,n the "wood-chopping
establishment" and the 'dryingrooms," they
were thought in fit state to bring back to the
city, when they we're taken to the Continental

fed and drunk in the usual manner

TELEGRAPH and Bulletin,
His Honor, Mayor AcMichael was served mp at
the head of the table.
After the cloth was removed, which the
walters did as soon as they saw how unsteadily
the glasses of colored liquid were passed across
it, the 'pulpers" began to make speeches.
Pulp Jones was called upon for a speech.
He spoke of the paper making business in this
country as rapidly on the increase; he had made
y little paper once that got into an Alderman's
hands in Roxborough, and it cost him $500 to
get it out 1t was valuable to him on account
Of having his autograph on it, and he was
anxious to keep these things in the family.
Pulp tJenckes, the President of this Poplar
Company, made few remarks. He said that the
Pulp Company endeavored to meet a want long
felt by all classes. Poplar trees are neither use
full for shade nor beautiful to the eye, and any
inventor that would make one into newspaper,
even New York Herald, could not be called q
small thing. He must here be understood as
referring to the inventon-not to the Herald.
Paper had long held it's head up like poplar
tree, and had been very dear in some cases, as
the preceding speaker had just gwen an instance,
and the object of the Company was to fell the
trees and fall in the price of paper, which he
had no Doubt would follow, and now men can
learn from trees, particularly poplar trees
(Great cheeriAg.) He claimed no particular
merit in the dNcovery of the poplar, or in
locating the works in the beautiful city o
Manayunk, except as poplar trees were there
abundant and books scarce, it seemed natura
to harmonic the wants which nature had de
signed. (Cheers)
Pulp Jenckes was here offered piece O
Toast, called ''The Press of New York - by oul
Mayor, which was accepted by Pup Tilton, o
the New York Independent. This pulp, it woulC
seem, is in a yet very pulpy state. He begal
his appropriate flow by saying that he thanked
God he did not live in New York; he lived il
BrooklE What particular cause there was 70
thalts ess for that fact we don't ont, see, unles
that, he cardrivers IN New York are on
strike, Epd no cars are now running, this pul
was glad he did not have to walk to his HON
after landing at the battery; but could go owe
to Brooklyn in Ferry-boat for three cents. H
remarked that he had been in Washington 70
some time past; but he had seen more los
rolling in the Manayunk Pulp Works than
had during his whole stay in Washington.
AS soon as this Joke was fairly comprehende
by the pulpers, they wanted to engage this pul
to write funny column for their papers, al
seeming TO be Of an opinion that it was a
good as anything seen in the Supper Tabl
Series. He continued, and said he held in hi
hand piece of paper made of wood, and h
was happy to say that the day had come whe
if we had no Popular Government we ha
poplar newspapers. (Great cheering, durin
which offers were renewed, asking the pulpit
state his price.) This piece of paper, made
the Pulp Works, he believed was strong enoug
for all Dractical DurpOseg,
