Why the Steel Works Stop.

The Bessemer steel works at Scranton
have stopped the production Of rails and
a correspondent from that point of the
PHILADELPHIA Press endeavors to charge
the result to the Democratic victory and
to the consequent change Of the tariff
Anticipated /; for which deduction there
is no ground whatever. The manager of
the works says they have stopped be.
cause of the light demand for rails, and
it was not their policy to manufacture a
stock of rails in advance of .orders for
them, because hardly two roads use the
same size, weight and shape of rail. He
gives the true reason for the stoppage of
the steel rail manufacture. Railroad
building has come to a halt, and
that has halted the rail mills.
The Democratic success can hardly
becharged with the stoppage of railroad
building. That has been over-stimu!ated
and has been quieted by the failure to
induce capitalists to continue their Law
ish expenditure in that line of specula-
tion. 1t has ceased to he profitable. Rail-
road securities are depressed. The mar.
ket for them has gone, and with it the
market for rails.
The Bessemer steel rail makers have
had very profitable business for a
few years past. They could not make
rails fast enough for the demand, and
they sold them at a price which enables
the railroads to Import European rails,
The manufacturers here did not care
how many rails were imported 50 that
they had all the business they could dc.
They spent their profits largely in in
creas.ag tucir facilities and when the
demand fell off and they made more
than were wanted they dropped their
price at once and shut out the European
product.
The demand still decreasing they have
curtailed their production and still fur
ther lowered their price. They could afford |
to odecresse it still further, il they could |
get orders by 50 doing, because their
rails DO not cost them forty five dollars a
ton but they cannot sell them 1T auv
price in the quantity they are able to
manufacture. The tariff has nn,hirp tn
do with the depression OF their trade.
They have the command of the who,e
home market, but the trouble is that the
market cannot take their product,

/ ANECDOTES OF THE HORsE.-The fidelity
of the horse IS a favorfte theme of the natur-
alist. Frequently, a dog OF a cat is the OBJ
ject Of the attachment, probably from the
1 fact that those are the animals they are chief
" brought into contact with; but their de-
votedness to their masters or attendants and
their gentleness to children have formed the
groundwork of a hundred tales. Youatt
mentions many instances Of attachment be-
tween horses and animals Of other species,
such as that of Duncannon, wellknown
racer, for a sheep, which it would lift into
the manger to share its fodder; but would
permit nc one else 10 molest is in any way.
Cbillaby, another famous horse, which only
one groom ever dared to approach, had also
a favorite lamb that it loved and tended with
paternal affection
A wonderful auecdote of affection in hOr-
ses is told by Monsieur de B0ussaneHe, and
although il is not an instance of friendship
between animals of opposite tribes it is too
appropriate TO our theme TO be overlooked.
This gentleman, a cavalry officer, mentions
that horse belonging 20 his company, being
from old age, unable to eat its hay or chew
its oats, for two whole months was fed by
two horses, one on each side of it, who ate
from the same manger These two noble
creatures drew the hay out of the rack,
chewed it, and put il intact before the old
horse, and di6 the same with the oats, which
he was then able to eat
YOuatt, it is presumed, is the authority
for an account of the way in which colt re-
paid the kindness and care of a farmers boy 1
who fed it. One day the boy was pursued /
by an infuriated bull and contrived to reach /
a ditch and get into it before his pursuer
could Overtake him. The bull endeavored to
gore him, and would. It IS believed, have
succeeded. had not the colt come TO his as
sistance This grateful little animal assault
ed the bull, screaming so loudly all the while
that some labOTers were attracted to the
spot, and rescued the lad from his periiOus
position.

COULD WE TELL.

Could we tell what's best, my neighbor,
In the world we're passing through
How to manage well and wisely,
All the tasks we have to do
Could we see life's cares and pitfalls,
Could we count its many snares,
Should we happier be than meeting,
As we do, Fate unawaTes ?
Could we tell, my friend and neiChboT,
What there was for Us in store
Whether riches and abundance,
Or the lean wolf at the door
Gould we fOreSee hours of anguish,
Every ache and every pain,
Would not life lose half its sweetness ?
Would not pleasure be in vain ?
Walking blindly through the shadows,
Now and then a cheering ray,
Hope and Faith our shield and bUckleT,
Is for US the better way.
By and by the mist will vanish,
BY and by the shadows glide,
Letting in the light of wisdom
When we reach the other side.

! HAIR TURNING WHITE rs A Sr-yG--E EIGHT
/ About fifteen years ago q Young man
named Henry Richards who lived at Terra
Haute, Ind, was going home one evening
/ about dark from visit 90 a friend. and was
/ walking along the railroad track. Some lit
tie distance from town was a very high tres
tlewOrk over a creek, there being no pIauIzs
. placed across for walking, so that people had
. to go over on the ties.
Richards was walking along at lively
rate, and when he arrived az the bridge he
did not stop to think that a train coming in
was then due, bot, being in a hurry 10 get
home, he started to walk across on the cross
ties. He had gotten nearly half way across
the bridge when the train came slipping
around curve at a lively rate. He saw the
train at once and started TO run, but saw
that it was useless as it would certainly over
take him before he could get of the bridge.
He was now in a terrible plight Tofump
OF was certain death, and if he remained on
the track the train would crush him to pie
ces. There was no woodwork beneath the
bridge for him to hang on TO- so he saw that
his only chance was to swing on 10 a small
iron rod that passed under the crosstfes.-
No time was TO be lost, as the train was
nearly on the end Of the bridge. So he
swung himself under the ties. and in few
moments was hanging on for dear life. The
engineer had seen him just before he swung
under the bridge, and tried to stop the train.
but did more harm than good, as he only
succeeded IA checking the speed Of the train
