Labor Troubles.

The good year of 1886 will probably be more noted for it's labor troubles than for any other incidents in American affairs. The year is not yet half gone, and already the discontent among the 1aboring masses and the developments growing out of it have been more marked than at any other period of our history. And this comes, too, at 8 time when plenty abounds, when the neces- sar es and even the .Iuxuries of life are with in the reach of every man and woman in our land. The purchasing power of a dollar was never greater than it is now, while business is fairly good, making work for all at re- munerative wages. It is the old conf jet be- tween capital and labor which has so often

Some of the merchants of New York are taking measures to meet what they feel is 8 discrimination against their business by the assoc1ated railroads. At present all dry goods are charged the same rates, when shipped from New York to Chicago by the trunk lines A bele of brown cotton costing $75 must pay the same rate per hundred pounds as package of silk goods worth &, ,00O. A barrel of sugar can be shipped as fifth-class freight to Chicago for twenty five cents per hundred pounds, but it cost seventy-fve cents per hundred freight on 8 bale of domesties occupying no more space. The result is that New York has lost great deal of it's dry goods jobbing trade.
 Judge Barrett of New York made one of the points in the boycotting business very clear when he said: An erroneous idea exists as to the use of force and threats in such Q proceeding. Men may not use force or threats, and yet they intimidate; they create fear Supposing fifty or one hundred men determined to boycott dry-goods store and walk up and down before the door in leg al way, distributing hand-bills. They might not use force or direct threats, and yet they might intimidate the weak and the timid by their actions and commit an illegal act Did Theiss succumb and yield under fears That was the point. Moreover, in this matter it was not necessary that the defendant himself should have used force or threats, so long as he was concerned in the transactions.

A PEDESTRIAN WONDER.
The Remarkable Walking Feats Performed
by n NorMe Rian Sailor.

The Remarkable Walking Feats Performed
by a Norwegian Sailor.
The pedestrian feats of the present
day are cast into the shade by the re-
corded exploits of Ernst Mensen, a
Norwegian sailor in the English navy,
early in the present century. Mensen
first attracted attention by running from
London to Portsmouth in nine hours,
and soon after he ran from London to
Liverpool in thirty-nine hours. Having
distinguished himself at the battle of
Navarino in 1927, he left the navy and
became a professional runner. After
winning number of matches he under
took the feat of running from Paris to
Moscow. Starting from the Place Ven-
dome at four o'clock in the afternoon
of June IL, 1881, he entered the Krem-
lin at ten o'clock q. m, on June 25,
having accomplished the distance Of
l,760 miles in thirteen days and eigh-
teen hours. The employment of Men,
sen as a courier extraordinary became
popular amusement in European
courts. He ran from country to coun-
try, bearing messages of congratula-
tions, coincidence or dispatches, and
always beat mounted couriers when
matched against them. He never walked
but invariably ran, his refreshment be-
ing biscuit and raspberry syrup. Hc
took two short rests only in the twenty
four hours. These rests he took standi
ing and leaning against some supports
at such times he covered his face With
handkerchief and slept. In 1886,
while in the employ Of the East Indis
company. Mensen was chary0d with
the conveying Of dispatches from Cal.
cutta to Constantinoplc, through Cen
trail Asia. The distance is 5,615 miles,
which the messenger accomplished In
fifty-nine days, or in one-third OF the
time taken by the swiftest caravan. At
last he was employed to discover the
source of the Nile. Setting out from
Silesia on May IL. 1843, he ran to Jeru-
salem, and thence to Cairo and
up the western bank of the river
into Upper Egypt. Here, just outside
the village of Syang, he was seen to
to stop and rest, leaning against palm
tree, his face covered with handker-
chief He rested so long that some per-
son tried to wake him, but they tried
in vain, for he was dead. He was
buried at the foot of the tree, and It
was years before his friends in Europe
knew what fate had befallen him.
