Quaint Auction Scenes in Bremen.

Although the free Hanseatic City of
Bremen has gradually done away with
many Of her traditional lprerogatives,
yet does she cling to some of them to
this day. The Senators no longer wear
Spanish cloaks or wigs, but the So
called Council messengers still appear
on solemn occasions in flaming red
coats, knee-breeches, white stockings,
and side-swords, The gates are no
longer closediat night,lnor are the bells
rung on the outbreak Of fire; but the
"Rathskeller'l ispunctually closed at
1890 p. M, and nobody is allowed to
enter the sacred precincts after that
hour. With remarkable tenacity, how
ever, the good Brenaeners adhere to the
ancient custom Of the so-called t'burn-
ing candle,n by the light of which all
peremptory sales of real estate take
place to this day, as may be seengevery
Friday in a hall over the old Exchanges
At one end of long table is seated
Judge and scribe, atthe other stands the
City sCrier, and byhis side Council
messenger in flaming red dress, holding
stable lantern. In his hand he has a
box filled with ends OF small candles
that can burn but few minutes, and Of
which he has to light one after the other
until no other bid is made before the
candle goes out, in which case the last
and of course highest bidder becomes
the owner of the estate As late as the
beginning of this century every person
who oyerbid another while the candle
was still burning, thereby putting up
the price, received qualification of a
so-called 'ifine third, equal to about
two marks. Frequently some porters
or errand men would come in and bid
in order to turn an honest penny by gov
ing for the ''fine third, although they
ran the risk of some weeks imprison-
ment, if by chance the candle went out
and they thus remained the last bidders
without being able to pay for the prop
erty knocked down to them on account.
1t is comical sight to enter the hall
just at the moment when one bidder
has silenced competitor. All eyes
turn to the bit of candle in the lantern,
which grows smaller and smaller;
hardly a breath is drawn; the company
looks as if they were petrified. Sud-
denly there comes another bid, another
candle is lighted, and the comedy is re-
peated until finally the extinction of a
candle has fastened the sale upon the
last bidder This custom of the ''burn-
ling CANDLE may be Justly termed one
of the traditional peculiarities of Bre-
men, there being but few, if any, other
German cities or towns in which this
ancient custom still obtains. Paris

The Elephant Seal.

Almost the first voyagers who sailed
into the then unknown seas surround
ing the south pole took back to Europe
stories about gigantic seal much
larger than the elephant, and, like that
animal, furnished with trunk. But
the people had begun to doubt the sto-
ries Of travellers, and consequently not
much reliance was placed on these va
rious accounts.
When the real Robinson Crusoe, whose
name was Alexander Selkirk, was found
on his island Of Juan Fernandez and
taken home to England be also told
about the giant SEAL and gave such mi
mute particulars concerning it that its
existence was no longer doubted. Still,
it was not until century later, when
the report of Captain Cooks voyages
was published, that any real interest
was manifested in the sea-elephant, or
elephant seal. This report said that the
oil and skin furnished by the animal
were valuable, and that statement was
hint enough for one or two enterprising
merchants. Without more ado they
fitted out few whaling ships, and sent
them to the southern seas to procure the
oil and skins Of the hapless creatures.
Among these ships the trimmest and
swiftest was the MARY Ann. : a6 saY y
How many elephant-seals were slaugh-
tered by the crew of the MARY Ann is
not known; but it is recorded that,
within twenty-five years of her visit to
Georgia Island, there were killed on
that island alone over one million two
hundred thousand animals, or about one
thousand every day during the season,
How many millions were killed alto
gether can never be known, but it is
certain that the killing did not cease
until the elephant-seal was almost ex-
terminated. It will interest you to
know that two young elephant-seals are
now to be seen in the Geological Gar
dens at Philadelphia. ,5sa
The young sea-elephant is as big as q
small man when it is born, andi in eight
days it will grow four feet longer and
one hundred pounds heavier. That is
pretty quick growth; but to reach cir
cumference Of eighteen feet and a length
of thirty feet in three years, il has need
to grow quickly, s3smafa fss H.
Penrose, in his account of the ele-
phant-seal, says that his sailors used to
mount upon the backs Of the animals
as they were in the water, and race
with each other, making the animals
swim by squirting them withtheir knives.
This story is not precisely doubted, but
it is not believed, either TheeIephant-
seal always comes ashore, if possible,
when about to die, which seems some-
what odd, when the water IS the ele-
ment in which it is most at home. There
it is surprisingly swift and agile, and,
indeed, it is sd comfortable there that it
sleeps on the rocking waves as quietly
as on shore. e.-John r. Coryeu, IN 81.

THE DEMOCRATS
Garry Ohio and Make Large
Gains in Iowa.

From the latest information it is safe
to say Hoadley, the Democratic candi-
date, is elected Governor Of Ohio, by
from five to ten thousand majority, to-
gether with the entire State ticket.
The Legislature will be Democratic.
In Iowa the Democrats have made
large gains. The Republican candidate
for Governor Is elected by from twelve
to fifteen thousand plurality.
The prehibitory amendment is de-
feated in both States.
In Ohio the Republicans attribute
their defeat to the wool tariff and the
prohibltory amendment. The prohibi-
tory amendment received large vote,
although neither party represented the
cause of temperance, and was only de
feated by the vote in Cincinnati anC
Hamilton county, which gave a larg
majority against it.
The wool question, TO doubt, had
great deal to do with the result, al
though the Republican speakers by th
most artful jugglery, attempted to shit
the responsibility of it's reduction.

Wendell Philips Supports Butler.

Wendell Phillips, whose worst crime
was that of being an Aboltionist, is
out in letter defining his position and
giving his opinion of the Republican
party and Ben Butler. He says:
"At present there can be only two po-
litical parties. The Republican is one.
distrdst and dsspise the Republicans
as time servers, as double dealers, as
soulless carrion masquerading in the
grave clothes Of their honored prede-
cessors. They have no right to seek
their candidate among high-minded and
honorable men. Let them choose q
fitting leader from among the Tewks-
bury Marshes-those reddlers of poor
mems bones. The movement which
upholds Butler is the protest of earnest
men against ell this Including within
1t many very evil elements, this move
ment is supported by some Of the best
and most earnest men in the State. It's
success will grind to powder the dead
weight which strangles and dsschokes us,

Wing relics beyond resurrection.

The Wool Question.

The State of Oregon and Douglas
county especially, is largely devoted to
wool-growing and sheep husbandry.
The wool industry has furnished a
larger revenue to our people than any
other. The export of sheep and wool
during the last five years has brought
more money into Douglas county than
from any other source, and has fur
nished our farmers with larger profit
than all othor products combined. The
unwarranted action of the last Repub-
lican Congress in reducing the tariff on
wool and increasing the tariff on man.
ufactured woolen goods, has robbed our
farmers of five cents profit on every
pound of wool sold in the county, and
thirty cents on every dollars worth of
fannels or wooden hosiery or underwear
bought for use in their families. The
Law was passed by party vote, for the
benefit of the New England manufac-
turers, whom the prospective profits
enabled to buy up the party bosses who
manipulated and run the Republican
machine, both in and out of Congress.
Hon. M. G George, just before his
recent election, in his stereotyped
speech promised the farmers of Oregon
that be would stand by their interests
and maintain the tariff of 1867. He
too, succumbed to party dictation and
the party lash, and in violation of his
promises and the pledges he gave to the
farmers of Oregon, voted to rob them
of their just profit on their wool.
The Douglas independent. [volume] (Roseburg, Or.) 187?-1885, 1883-10-13
The Labor Question.

The relation which labor sustains to
capital and the rights Of the laborer to
share in the profit arising from his own
industry, is . question which more
nearly concerns the welfare of society
and the perpetaity of our institutions
than all others combined. The lsborer
is truly worthy of his hire. BY the
hand Of industry mother earth Is made
to yield all the wealth and sustenance
which go to make up national and in
dividual Opulence and lro 'perity. All
material wealth is grown from the soil
or dug from the mine by the hand of
toll and fashioned by industry and
skilled Labor. Man brings nothing in
to the world and takes nothing out of
it; he requires but a narrow mound
within which to return to his native
element. He may own his broad acres
and palatial residence and boast Of his
fee in the soil, but the inevitable law
of nature fixes it certain that he has
but life estate at best. Then, why in
free republic do we find the marked
distinctions between capital and labor,
the moneyed autocrat and the honest
peasant3 Why and by what means is
it that the profit, above mere exist
ence, arising from the skill and indus
try Of sthe artizan, mechanic and Ia
borer goes into the Golfers of the capi-
talists9
There is something radically wrong
| that the great masses should be forced
to labor, and in many instances beyond
their strength and endurance, for 8
mere pittance, that the few should revel
in their luxury and gloat over their
we'll filled Golfers. The fact that the
black man was forced to work for hi!
| food and raiment while his task master
regaled himself on the profits Of his in
dustry, cost the nation millions Of bloot
and treasure. By striking the shackle
! from the limbs Of the southern negro
our government has, by system Of ur
just and unwise legislation riveted tn
bonds Of absolute drudgery upon th
great industrious and working masse
, of our people The conditions enger
dered by this system of legislation caus
, nlurmerings of discomfort throughor
the land. To remedy this condition
! a question paramount to all others an
| one which demands the best efforts
, cur statesmen for practical and peac
able solution. The government, b
; wholesale extravagance and without r
i. muneration, has given away all tt
best of the public domain to corpor
, tions. It has created system OF BAN
ing institutions or corporations whie
/. draws a two fold interest from t
= people, at the expense Of tho COVER
i ment. BY system of unequal ar
g unjust taxation the government draw
= from the great laboring masses of OF
. people the revenue to support this ar
q other systems of extravaganza.
How to regulate and control the
!. gigantic corporations and enforce equs
. iry and justice between them and tt
y people is the great question now diyi
ing the two political parties and wi
s be the coming issue in State and n
j tional politics. The Democratic par
, now, as in the past, the party of II
: people, will be found on the side
. honest labor, battling for justice al
4 equality.
