cording to individuals and circumstances of
life In general this bear presents the charac-
teristics of the arctoid group, which have been
already indicated, but in disposition and habits
his personality is marked. His claws are long
er, his head, body and limbs are larger and
more massive, and his weight is greater than
any OF the other bears He is solitary. chiefly
carnivorous and hunter of large game. I'M
like other animals Of his family, he buries his
prey. 1t is said that in the Grizzly tenacity of
life reaches its acme among wild beasts, but
this is an assertion that has never been proved.
lt would be easy to show from some of the
best authorities extant that the prOverbial
nine lives of the cat found no confirmation in
fact; that an Indian Hill bear survives in-
juries and accidents which seem TO be neccs-
sarily fatal that elephants have time after
time carried their immense bulk 100 yards or
more after being shot through the heart, and
that deer and antelope are among tho most
difficult Of all creatures to kill.
Like all bears, the Grizzly is ungainly in
appearance and awkward and unalert in his
movements. This depends upon the relatively
undiferentiated state of his muscular system,
and may possibly corToborate or explain the
common story current among Indians aud
trappers of the Northwest, that the puma

of heavy paper, embellished with brilliantly
cOlored representations of all the flags used

these. There Is also on the chart pictures
of the old Independence Hall in Philsdsl-
phia, and the residence Of the lady who
made the first Star Spangled Banner In
the center of the chart Is q great white
star, with the words of the Star Spangled
Banner" printed on it's face. Around it are
pictorial reproductions of the various en-

WONDERFUL WATCHES.

IN the great museum of London is small watch, a hundred years old or more, in the shape of an apple The golden outside is adorned with grains of pearl.
 KING GEORGE III, of England, had a watch not larger than five cent piece, which had 120 parts, the whole not weigh ing quite so much as ten-cent piece.
 THE rarest collection of old watches in the United States, if not in the world, is owned by Giovanni P. Morosini, at Irving ton, on the Hudson. He has from 800 to 1000, worth about $30, 900.
 IN Swiss museum is a watch only three sixteenths of an inch in diameter, inserted in the top of pencil case. It's tiny dial not only indicates the hours, minutes and sec onds, but also the day of the month.
 THE Swiss watch-makers have invented a watch for the blind. A small peg is set in the middle of each figure. When the hour hand is moving towards a given hour the peg for that hour drops. The person finds the peg is down, and then counts back to twelve.
 CATHARINE l., of Russia, had musical watch. In the interior was the Holy Sep ulcher and the Roman guard. By touching spring the stones moved away from the door of the sepulcher, the guard kneeled down, angels appeared, and the holy women stepped into the tomb and sang the EasteJ song of the Russian churches.

THE SwJEr VETO.

Governor Bulkeley's action iii vetoing the Swift commutation measure IS meet ing the heartiest approval of press and public throughout the state. He has again shown, by extricating himself from a peculiarly embarrassing position, the tact and keenness that have marked him during his whole career. And he has proved, too, that he has more pro- found sense of public duty and more ready disposition to discharge his obliga, tions than the legislature which has al lowed tears and womanly sentiment to shape its action.
 It was tremendous responsibility that the assembly put upon Governor Bulkeley, which was made all the greater by the peculiar legal technica ities that surrounded the reso lution when it reached him. It prac' tically placed on his shoulders the whole question as to Swifts fate. Had he simply remained quiet and taken nc action at all on the resolution Swift must have been hanged, but on him would
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-06

have fallen the whole responsibility. By his action in reprieving the n,u4,dei CT for two weeks and his subsequent veto he has given the legislature a chance to re- consider Its vote in the better light of an aroused public opinion which unmistak- his brutal crime on the gallows, and thus transferred to the legislature the responsibility of saying whether justice and the law shall be defeated. 1t was skiiliuI Dct et t1e seme time a just Id manly act which wilt raise Governor Bulkeley many degrees in the estimation Of the people of Connecticut.
 In taking the ground that theae has been no new evidence to discredit the verdict of the court that found Swift guilty of murder in the first degree Gov ernor Bulkeley has justified the opinion of the DEMOCRAT and other journals that have maintained from the beginning that Swift had a free, full and fair trial, and that so long as we have the death penalty on our statute books he should be made to swing for his crime. What ever the house may do in the matter, Governor Bulkeley will have the respect of the people for his manly and courage ous action. The house had better hearken to the popular voice which de- mands that the law be allowed to take its course.
 Swift should hang higher than Haman.
