AN OLD BEAR STORY.
Told Three Hundred Years Before "BiIly'
Hamilton's Time.

The Forest and Stream has been tracing
back the old story of the American pio-
neer who fell into a hollow tree and es-
capped by hanging on to the tail of bear
which had descended the hollow, bear
fashion, backward. The Forest and Stream
finds that the story is more than a hum
dred years old as told in this country, and
it adds:
When and where the tale was first told
cannot be surmised; but there is an ancient
variant of it which dates back to period
when it is certain that while there were
hollow tree stubs by the score and bears
galore, there was not in all the unbroken
forest of this North American continent a
single white man to fall into the one or to
be pulled out by the other. While Cortez
was conquering Mexico there dwelt at
Lake Como in Italy certain Bishop Pau
lus Jovius, who, from all accounts, were
he living in these days, would be an excel
lent type of the true sportsman" He
was catholic in his tastes, great lover of
nature, and one who believed in getting
his share of all the good things there were
in life for man in the years from 1873 to
1850. His chief literary labors were the
Willing Va CulOSlSllC DlOSTdpuleS OI tQ6
great men of the time, who sent their por-
traits to adorn his elegant home. But he
did not disdain to Tighten his books with
an occasional anecdote; and his writings
prove him to have been gentleman, a
scholar and good judge of bear stories.
And here, told by Paulus Jovius three
hundred years and more ago, we find a
tale given him by one Demetrius, an EN-
bassador to Rome, which is decidedly the
best, because briefest, wittiest and quaint
est of all the stories of the man in the hol-
low tree. 1t was translated from the orig
inal Latin by writer of the last century
thus:
A neighbor of mine, searching in the
woods for honey, slipped down into a
great hollow tree and there sunk into a
lake of honey to the breast, where, when
he had stuck fast two days, calling and
crying out in vain for help because no.
body in the meanwhile came nigh that
solitary place)-at length, when he was
out of all hope of life-he was strangely
delivered by means of great bear, which,
coming thither about the same business
that he did, and smelling the ..hopey

man, bethinking himself. and knowing
that the worst was but death (which in
that place he was sure of, beclipt the bear

and withal made an cutlery as loud as he
could. The bear, being thus suddenly
affrightened what with the handling and
noise), made up again with all speed pos.

until with main force he had drawn Dun

away he trots, more afeared than hurt,
leaving the swain in a joyful fear"

STATEMENT.

Albany, Aug. 26 (SpeciaD.-At meeting of the
officers and Executive Board Of District Assembly
No. 246 last night, rather early this mornlng
after the dispatch from Terre lIpute had been
received by Mr.. Powderly from Mr.. Sargent and
Mr.. Sheahan, of the Supreme Council of the Fed
Grafton of Railway Employees, it decided to
take desperate steps to win or lose all in one last
blow at the traffic on the New-York Central and
Hudson River Railroad and on the West Shore
Road After a discussion, in which all was not
perfectly harmonious, it was resolved that all
members of the order of the Knights of Labor now
at work and employed by the New-York Central
and Hudson River Railroad and the West Shore
Railroad, in the State of New-York, quit work
along the line simultaneously tomorrow night
This strike order was nGOrscd by I. V. Pow
DERBY, General Master Workman Of the Knights Of
Labor and the General Executive Board, and
will call out over 900. men in the smaller cities
aud towns along the line of the railroads named.
These new strikers, it learned, are mostly
employed as ha.mcn at crossings, track lalorers
switchmen aud some few traclmen and yardmen
1t is expected that the companies will not have
much trouble in filing the places OF these rash
men.
Freghts are moving freely, and tonight the
passenger department OF the Central officially
announced that il was prepared to take care OF
all traffic that may be offered, including all eX-
cursion and special business. All local and through
trains the company states, are running regularly
on time, and the service is as efficient
as before the strike. The headquarters OF
the Knights has been samly afforded
to-day by mournful men, No bulletin was issued,
hut a letter from Grand Executive Officer \. w.
Wright was printed and posted. 1t notifies TO the
strikers that the General Executive Board will be
in position 70 extend financial aid " to the men
who are on a strike on the Vanderbilt system
within two weeks. Non-union men who left the
employ of the company TO vindicatc the right of
labor 10 organize are 10 share equally with the
knights MIR. Wright gives instructions for dis
tributing the funds, and in conclusion says:
Remember the money VIII he In very great
measure made up Of the hard earnings OF men who
arc In the struggle with grim daily want, and II
hehoves us and you that every penny OF II Is
nghthilly expcgdcd.
