A FAILURE OF FOLLY,

The complete collapse of the great strike of tanners and curriers' at Salem and Pea
 body, Massachusetts, is a severe lesson to those who blind1y entered into it, and have obstinately held out. Its history is instruc- tive. In the early part of July the employ CTS received circular letter from ''seere- tary" demanding that their employees be al- lowed to work fifty nine hours week, and the employers were given until July 18th to accede to the demand. They, understand ing that the time had come to decide if they could manage their own business, refused to comply with the demand, declined to submit to arbitration, and the strike began prompt ly ol July 18th. In the afternoon of that day the manufacturers posted circular in their shops stating that they would employ only such men as would bargain individually with them and agree to take no part in any strike whatever; and all men desiring so to be en- ployed might report Tuesday, July 13th t'We are determined,' said the document "to stand by all our men who do so, and all determined to our own business with out any dictation." No man was required to sign any paper or do anything other than make a bargain, individually, with the man ufaeturers. Very few of the mer returned under the circular at first, but soon they be- gan to drop back one by one, and new men were brought into town to fill the vacant places. On the 7th of August the strikers started out to mob non-union men in Pea body and followed it up day after day until suppressed by the authorities. Since then there have been numerous outbreaks.
 Matters went swimmingly with he strikers for while. Their committees, executive boards and walking delegates were active and confident. The strikers got some money, and many of them appeared to enjoy the sit uation. But the more sensible of those who gave up their places and their wages to s'vin- dicate" their leaders began to protest when they saw that the strike was likely to be a failure. The protests increased in number and strength it became harder and harder to get money for the strikers, and on Sun day the managers met, directed the men to resume work at the old scale of prices, and asked the employers to take them back They might have done this three months ago, and would have shown wisdom in doing it. As matters are now it is not probable that half the strikers will get work in Salem and Peabody. Their situation, with the winter just in front of them, is a very un- pleasant one, and their thoughts will not be made more comforting by the knowledge that they themselves chiefly responsible for it.
 One lesson of this sad affair is very plain, and the same lesson has been made plain in hundreds of cases during the past year. This is that good and honest workmen cannot afford to commit their interests to the care of reckless and irresponsible men who have nothing to lose and something to gain by what they are pleased to call agitation"

RIch Man,s Trials.

From the Washington Correspondence or the
 Cleveland Eeader.l
 Mr Corcoran gives great deal to private charity, and like all rich men he receives bushels of applications for money which he cannot grant He has printed form Of re- ply, which states that he is unable to meet all these demands, and that his agent is dl- rectsd not to present them to him. Some of the letters he receives are curious ones. One woman wrote not long ago that although her husband was worth fifty thousand dollars she wanted to be independent of him, and wanted Corcoran to send her enough money so that she could live on the interest. An other lady wanted six thousand dollars to be used in European travel. Another wanted pink silk dress for ball and another wanted a barrel of salt pork. Flour and provisions are often asked for and applications for money come from all parts of the country.
 A great many of these appeals come from people Corcoran has never known and never heard Of and though number of them are undoubtedly from people in need. many are from adventurers and the majority are unde- serving The publication of this article will doubtless briug more letters to MT. Corcoran, as does every letter published concerning his wealth. The articles in the press concerning rich men and charitable men point out to ad- venturers all over the country where these men live, and the notes printed not long ago about President Cleveland's charity filled the White House letters with begging applica- tions for months The rich men of Congress are overrun with beggars, who apply to them both by mail and in person. and there seems to be a population of thousands of beggars in the United States who do nothing but watch the newspapers and write letters to the rich men noticed in them.

military and naval men are great towards in the dentists chair; the braver they are in battle the more nervous they seem to be when they come to get their teeth fixed.
 'tI think about the worst patient I ever had, even worse than the old admiral I told you of, was an officer of the army formerly on General Towards staff He was a very gallant officer during the war, was shot all to pieces and believe has since died from the wounds he received in battle At the time he came to me he was full of lead and carried the scars he received in battle. But I never in all my life had so nervous and ex- citable man in my chair. Every time I made move toward him he would shrink, and once when touched the nerves he shed genuine tears and begged me like child would beg his mother not to hurt him so again

One of Garland,s meannesses.

IT rOIu the OulCdSO NcWSI
 Speaking of Garland reminds us of the remark we recently heard United States Senator make. Garland" said he, lis per- haps the most unpopular man in Washing ton. He is tue smallest kind of apessimist and he seems to delight in saying evil things of everybody. I remember one conspicuous illustration of his mean spirit. When Tom Bowen was elected Senator from Colorado we were naturally curious to know what sort of a man he was. Garland professed to know all about him, having made his acquaintance in Arkansas years ago. and Garland talked it around that Bowen was gambler, dead beat and disreputable character generally. Of course we all conceived a strong preju- dice against Bowen, and we must have evineed that prejudice when he made his ap- pearance in the midst of us and sought to become acquainted. But in a little while we began to find out that our estimate of the man was all wrong, that Garland had. gross ly misrepresented him, and that Bowen was in fact modest, intelligent, conscientious

By new process of toughening wood, it is claimed that the effect produced upon white wood is such that cold ohisel is required in order to split it--this result being accom- plished by special method of steaming the timber and submitting it to end pressure By this means the cells ard flores are compress ed into one compact mass, and some of the timber, commonly considered unfit for use in such work as carriage building, for example, can be made valuable by this means as a substitute for ash, hickory, etc. This method is applicable, of course, only to wood in com paratively small quantities or sizes.
 The silver -tongued Colonel Pat Donan has investigated Honduras, and does not recom- mend the people of this country to invest money there. He says: It has valuable mines, but they are inaccessible. There are no roads, and for many miles the only means of travel you have is on the back of an In- dian carrier, who. journeys over path on the very backbone of the earth, often not wider than two feet, and where, if he were to step aside, it would be over precipices thousand feet high. There are telegraph lines through the country, but they belong to the government and were established for military purposes. The topography is too rough for railroad purposes, and I do not think that foreign investors, however much they may be encouraged by President Bogran, will be liable to place their money in the country. There are Americans there now, but cannot say how well they are doing.
 In no way has the change which has taken place in the South been lately made more plain than by the remarks of the Mobile Reg ister concerning the proposition to erect at Montgomery monument to men of the State who died in the Confederate army. A bill was introduced in the legislature to ap- propriate money for this purpose, and the Register heartily opposes the scheme. The Alabama bill of rights has this declaration: "The sole object and only legitimate end Of government is to protect the citizen in the enjoyment of life, liberty and property; and when the government assumes other func- tions it is usurppation and oppression. The Register asks the question: 'In what way could this monument protect the citizen in

There Is an old Spanish proverh
which says, Make two friends for
every enemy you make. Then what
is stolen from you in hate will be
made good 10 you in affection" An.
other saying, common to every ma
ton is, He who always demands
his exact rights on every occasion
will never get anything more.
Riding in Q horse car lately, the
writer saw an impressive application
OF these sayings.
The car was crowded, and several
persons were standing up. As the
car rounded q curve, one man lurch-
ed over to one side, and knocked his
neighbours hat over his eyes. The
man thus accidentally struck turned
round angrily, and asked who hit
him.
II did. What're you going to do
about it?" answered the other.
"pd show you what I'd do sbou,
it if had you out of this car"
You would, ehs"
Yes, | wouldw
"Why don't you do it heres"
II will, if you don't shut up"
"You wills"
"Yes."

Perhaps do. / don't take up

up my personal rights to any man"
Nobody asked you TO. But you
needn't push me out of my place"
who's pushing you out of your
place"
you are"
You lie."
At this point the conductor inter,
fered and threatened to put the dis
putants off the car. After a few
more hard words, the man who had
been the occasion of the dispute got
out.
Each man has made his enemy"
thought more than one person in the
car.
In q few minutes another passenger
came in, aud. as it was cold near the
door, he wedged his way slowly up
to the front. In doing so, he step.

already had his hat damned over his
