Panther I'm the .JungIes.

IPrlnce Lafi OF sweden lu tno NiueUccnInI
During the night some thirty bullocks
exposed as stkills" (in the Indian jungle,
where the yfiuces had slain a Bengal tiger),
and when we awoke the men reported that
three of them had been killed by panthers.
Of these, however, it was only possible to
pursue one, as the trail of the rest led to un-
approachable mountain Businesses. 1t was,
therefore, decided to attempt driving the
panther out of the narrow ravine in which it
was supposed to lie hidden. Suddenly the
long black line of beaters comes to a halt,
breaks and sways backward, theshouts of the
men being redoubled. AS quick as lightning
Ali Beg throws himself on his horse an / gal
lops to the spot, and we soon learn that the
enraged panther has attacked the beaters
several times, who, therefore, refused to
move forward. One man had been killed.
However, the elephants are quickly moved
forward, and we are soon collected on both
sides of the ravine in which the beast lies
hidden. AS the ravine was only thirty yards
wide and about five yards deep we were
close upon the panther, though we could not
see it,
Now the question arose, what were we to
do next9 The beaters were too frightened
to be of any further use, and the animal
showed no signs of willingly leaving its hid
ing place. Col. Dobbs urged us most earn
estly not to move the elephant into the
thieket, as the panther would without doubt
attack the first who dared approach it. As
the panther is more active it is more danger
GUS than the tiger and when enraged takes
offensive, sometimes jumping at one bound
into howda, whexeas the tiger cannot reach
higher than the elephants neck or shoulder.
This was the reason why we naturally lis

NOT A BENZ AGOGUE.


The Democratic leaders of this State are
using the arts of the demagogue in the hope
of catching "the labor vote" We believe
that they will be somewhat disappointed, as
they deserve to be. In sharp and pleasing
contrast With their performances is portion
of the speech with which General Haw1ey
opened the speechmaking on the Republican
side at South Manchester the other evening,
before an audience largely composed of work
ers in the manufacturing establishments of
the place.
General Hawley did not attempt to take
advantage of or add to the general discon-
tent. He did not rail against capital, or
picture an impossible workingmans paradise
to be brought about by voting the Republi-
can ticket. But he discussed the labor ques-
>tion calmly and fairly. The right of laborers
to associate for mutual advancement, i'm
proyement and protection he strongly upheld.
He pointed out that progress has been made,
and that the workingman is better off than
he was ten, twenty or thirty years ago. He
noted the changes wrought by various typical
inventions, as the use of steam, the cotton
gin, the Blanchard turner, the telegraph,
the telephone, the Bessemer steel process and
the consequent reduction of transportation
charges. Each of these aud many other in
ventions broue ht temporary local discomfort
and ultimate general advantage. The work
ingman to-day can get of the things he makes
more for days work than he could have got
ten, twenty or thirty years ago. He lives
better. The range of his wants is greater
The luxury of fifty years ago is the necessity
of to-day. The increase of wages and the
reduction of cost enables him to obtain it.
The hours of the sorrows of labor are re-
duced. And yet the changes disturb him.
How much he can be helped by legislation
cannot be told. Doubtless he will before
many years be able to live by eight hours
work and even by less, and he has a right to
steadily press on IN that direction. If every
man did his share of labor much less than
eight hours would suffice. How much stat
utes do to hurry this is uncertain. The
advance must be general and simultaneous.
General Hawley does not believe that the
government can adyantageously take charge
of the business of the country. On this
point. he said: Should the various projects of
general character be carried into effect we
should find the government controlling the
hours of labor, the wages, the savings, the
transportation Of the people in addition to
the tremendous powers it already exercises,
and be in danger of discovering that we
lived under magnificent despotism named
democracy.
This is reasonable and intelligent view of
a very important question. We commend it
to those to whom the demagogues are so aRx-
iously and SO weakly appealing.

It's an ill wind that blows nowhere, as the
old negro said. Workmen and others at
Charleston are profting by the rebuilding of
the city. A Charleston grocer says that for
merly on Saturday night the colored men
bought four-for-ive-cents cigars, called
''fourfers," and rarely bought more than five
cents worth. Now they buy straight ives
and often purchase 81 or $1.25 worth at
once. The grocer said the same difference
was manifest in ell his line.
A carpet merchant in Vienna has curious
collection of ancient wooden and linen
clothes, including more than three hundred
specimens. Many of them have been taken
from tombs, and are stretched on folios of
cardboard to preserve them. Some of the
fragments are only foot square, but the
larger ones make up an entire Roman toga.
which is said to be the only one in the
world. There are great many embroidered
dresses and a deal of knitting and crewel
work. Double chain-stitch seems to have
been as familiar to the Egyptian seamstresses,
sewing with bone needless as it is to modern
women: There are some very quaint and
clothes, but there are also some very common
things. It is curious to find that the COM
mon blue pattern of our busters and work
house aprons was in general use among the
Egyptians more than Thousand years age.
The consul general at Cairo, Egypt, claims
that there is good opening for American
trade in the East, and represents merchants
and manufacturers as growing rich off the
profits of their trade with that section, and
he can see no reason why those of the United
States should not profit thereby. The pro-
duct of our manufactures, he says, could
easily compete with others, and the richest
profits would be left, and mentions some
| articles for which the Egyptians pay nearly
three times as much as we could sell them
similar goods for. The tithe gatherer he rep
| resents to be still alive and active in Egypt
The unceasing toll of the Egyptians pours
enormous wealth into his Golfers. Poverty
is left with the one, and wealth departs with
the other. He appears to be satisfied that
| monthly line of steamers between New York
| and the Eastern Mediterranean seaports
would pay well in few months, and that it
| would be welcomed by the Egyptians.

stranger to restaurant living is pretty
apt to wonder what he has decided to eat
when he hears his order repeated by the
waiter 1t may take him fifteen minutes
to adjust his appetite to the bill of fare.
Delicate financial questions may enter into
the problem. But when the waiter calls
out that order neither the stranger nor any
other man except tho cook can tell wheth-
er the meal is to be a six dollar "spread"
or a twenty five cent ''snack." Of course
this does not apply to the sumptuous VIC
tualing places of the Delmonico type. There
the guest never hears his order givei..
ness noiselessly bear it to the invisible re-
gion of the kitchen. In the popular res
taurant it is different The cries that rend
the air are as varied as the odors Of cooked
and cooking eatables that permeate it, and
as mysterious rs the hash that is staple
of the bill of fare. The walters are not
burdened with dignity nor bothered by
politeness. They yell the hungsy mans
wants from the font of the room to the
kitchen hole in the rear with reckless
v:gor and in vernacular that de6es inter-
probation by those unversed in restaurant

staccato movement to 'plum-up'' and
from that to ''tea-no'' in wild crescendo.
Yet these were the terms in which a young
man in a downtown restaurant heard his
modest meal described by the waiter The
young man examined the bill of fare again.
He could discover no reference therein to
Tommy's intrusion in bowl. He was
equally unable to gain clew to the pro-
posed torture of Bobby Blue on a presum-
ably hot iron. He still searching for
key to these strange utterances when two
men entered the restaurant. They took
seats opposite. The waiter sent their COM
