THE POP WEED.
A Peculiar Prairie Plant Found Plentiful
iy in the Dakotas.

A Peculiar Prairie Plant Found Plentiful
iy in the Dakotas.
A resident of South Dakota gives
the following description of this
strange plant; ut is of rank growth,
but little less than marvellous in its
way. 1t has stalk like the cabbage
plant with large round top the size
of Hubbard squash and about the
same color. There are thousands of
acres of it on the Indian reservations.
In the vicinity of allali beds it grows
to a prodigious size.
"When the terrific northwest winds
blow late in the fall the pop-balls be-
come detached from the stalk and roll
for miles over the prairies, until they
reach uneven country or other obstruc-
tions, where they accumulate and pile
up like high houses of snow. Behind
these banks of weeds the wild buffalo
found shelter in midwinter from
the fierce blizzards. If the pop
weed ball comes forcibly in con
tact with any hard object while
rolling it explodes with tremendous
report. cloud of fine powder passes
Ou through Ille air, ana thousands OF
sharp, fine needles are thrown out in
every direction These needles are
the seeds of the pop weed and are
what produce the mischief with stock,
for they are very penetrating A
'critter' will run from a rolling pop
weed like jack rabbit from a coyote.
The Indians tell strange and inter-
esting stories about the weed. 1t is
said that the young braves of the tribe,
for discipline and TO prepare them
selves to endure great torture, would
fight with these pop-balls as school
boys do with snow-balls. The battle
of the pop weed is held once a year,
and is witnessed by the whole tribe
with great pomp and parade. To the
young brave the occasion is what the
fourth of July is to the white Ameri.
can youth. There is the noise and
smoke of battle to perfection, and the
fine, sharp needles cause intense pain.
The greatest exhibitions of bravery
are rewarded by promotion in the
tribe, and presentations of handsome
bead work are made by the young
braves best squaws or maidens."

Of a mile they came upon the dog
barking furiously at the collapsed
ruins of an old stone mansion, built
many years ago b. a rich but eccentric
settler. The hunters surmised by the
actions of the dog that the bears were
not far away.
The dog, urged on by his master,
mounted the heap of stone, while the
men remained below Suddenly there
was swish through the air, and a
rock weighing not less than ten pounds
shot out from the aperture in the
ruins, and the next moment the life
less remains of their noble dog lay at
their feet. The stone had knocked off
part of the dog's head and spent it's
force against an oak tree close to
where the hunters stood.
The men soon recovered their Senses
and, after a hurried consultation, CON
cluded that the bears had learned the
art of stone-throwing to perfection.
They We're somewhat puzzled how to
proceed. Uriah, after reconnoitering
a short time climbed the stone pile
cautiously. When he reached the top
he peered over the wall. 1t was all
most fatal move, for scarcely had he
time to withdraw his head when a
shower of heavy stones shot forth and
continued to pop out at brief intervals
for fully a minute
Uriah escaped unhurt, and he had
caught sight of the bears and also Of
Ids missing pigs, which the bears had
killed and partly devoured. There
was no further doubt as to the iden-
tity of the stone throwers,
Undecided what course to pursue,
.he brothers stood discussing the situ-
alton, when suddenly the rifle dropped
from Samuel's hand as he received a
crushing blow on the right shoulder.
Looking around the men saw both
bears on top of the stone pile. just at
that moment two more stones whizzed
past their ears with such force as to
break large limbs off trees in their
course.
Before the bears had time to throw

ly-Bought Victory.

Samuel and Uriah Hepler brothers,
and noted hunters, who reside at
"Hells Kitchen" some twenty miles
northwest of IIazleton, N. Y, had an
exciting time of it the other day. The
Heplers are among the most expert
woodsmen in the state. They are
veritable giants, possessing enormous
strength and athletic prowess, and
their skill with the rifle is remarkable.
Several years ago these two mon.
who had been reared in the wild OF
Sullivan county, decided TO abandon
the scenes of their early con1uests.
Migrating 20 Brush valley, where
game was, however, not so plentiful as
in the forests of Sullivan, they pur-
chased a small farm and titled it for a
livelihood.
With the exception of an occasional
scrap with a bear or panther, nothing
occurred to disturb the quietude Of
their surroundings until the other

eyes soon detected the familiar bear
tracks and also revealed to the
astonished men that two full-grown
bears had been engaged in the theft.
1t is a well-llnown fact that a pig be-
comes terrified and helpless at sight of
bear and would prefer to encounter
the devil himself than old Bruin. He
is unable to utter a single grunt or
make any show of Defense hence he is
absolutely in the power of his enemy.
The men decided to get even with
the bears. They took their rifles,
supply of ammunition and the only
dog they had at the time and started
in pursuit. 1t took the dog only mo-

The Foreign Population OF Paris Includes

Ths Foreign Population Of Paris Includes
1000 From This Country.
The cosmopolitan character of the
population of Paris has frequently
been commented upon. The French
capital is full of luxurious loungers all
the time, men and women in whom the
love Of their own country is entirely
extinct, or who find Paris a pleasanter
sojourning place than any other.
They are the butterflies Of the world.
the people who have more time and
money than they know how to spend,
and TO whom the changing life of Paris
has the charm that usually accompa-
nies variety. They are drones in the
busy hives of French industry. But
according TO the Rochester Herald the
working bees are also foreign TO a
very great extent. In 1886 the popu-
lation of Paris was 2,334,55O just
what proportion of this number were
foreigners is not shown by available
statistics, but recent official state
ment gives the present number as close
upon 300, 900. These people are of for
eign nationality, but hold permanent
that $4,000 are men capable Of bearing
arms. What scattering of them
there would be in the event of a gen
eral European war! 1t is stated that
of this great foreign contingent, the
1000 Americans form the aristocracv,
since all the others belong mainly to
the working classes.
A very large part of the labor of
Paris is performed by aliens. Belgium
furnishes 60,000 day laborers, hatters
and domestic servants. Switzerland
sends $4,000 butchers, walters, paint
ers and GLACIERS. Germany supplies
10000 liquor dealers, hotel-keepers and
clerks; while Italy is credited with a
like number of plumbers, glaciers.
street musicians and that character
istic Partisan class of labor, the artists
models. Russians TO the number of
10000 are largely tanners and saddlers.
England, the ancient enemy of France,
contributes 1900 servants, most of
whom are coachmen and grooms.
From this hasty summary it will be
seen that nearly every department of
labor has a large foreign element.
Even the municipal gas works and
slaughter houses, together with the
sewer department, are employing so
many foreigners that the propriety of
restricting the public service to
French citizens is being seriously con-
sidered. In case of war the danger to
France of this great body of aliens,
owing no allegiance to her and many
of them from nations naturally an
tagonistic, would certainly be great.
The organization of special police
force to keep a sharp watch on the
several foreign colonies would almost
seem a necessity. Such act ion is said
to be strongly contemplated.

Always Expect Pay.

Every one should know that it is dan
gerous to ask a doctors or a lawyers
advice, even in the most casual and pub
lie manner, unless one expects TO pay him
for it. There is well-authenticated
story of a man IN New York who chanc-
ed to remark to a celebrated physician
once:
Doctor, have you any sure means of
preventing seasickness?"
Certainly" said the doctor.
"What is it?''
'otay on shoren' said the physician,
and sent the man his bill.
Another gentleman, who was valetu.
diuarian, met a doctor of his acquaint-
ance on the street one day.

you. Do you know, I'm so weak that the
least bit of walking on these pavements
tires me all out. What do you think I'd
better take?''
"a horse carl guess" said the doctor,
crustily. And he, too, sent in little
of the amount due for this
wise prescription.

Rich Vote Sellers.

Some disgraceful disclosures have re-
Gently been made in Greene county
Pennsylvania. The county boasts OF
about {, 1000 votes, and 1t appears that a
gIeaU majority of these are openly
bought and sold.
The prices paid for votes IN this love-
ly county vary very much, ranging all
the way from twenty-five cents to TWEEN
ty-ive dollars. One paper published in
the county says it seems that nearly ev-
erybody wants to be paid fcI his vote.
The most remarkable thing is that votes
are not sold alone by those who need
money or who have no standing in the
community.
1t is said that there are many farmers
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 who ha-
bitually sell their votes, receiving from
four to ten dollars for them.
In the south only the lowest class OF
white men are ever paid for their votes,
a i'd white man who is known to have
sold his vote is disgraced.

for something to eat. A little boy heard
her and told his mother Mr.. StrattOn
would not permit anyone to enter his
house, During his temporary absence
the neighbor tied some food in napkin
and, calling to Mrs. Stratton, passed it to
her on pole. The old man heard of it

The case was reported to the officers.
Mrs. Stratton was found in an alcove
room over the parlor. Her face was

been alone for months, and that her hus-

snea,,er Atl.inson,s A pprehensions-

Sneaker Atkinson thinks the ooyS ar
bringing on next years campaign toe
soon. He was held up at the Griffin de
pot Saturday by a News reporter and
forced TO deliver. He talked atsome length
and interestingly about the Girls Indus
tnaI School at Milledgeville, which he
had inst visited. The reporter, however,
soon diverted him from this channel,
and anon the subject of candidates the
speaker said:
..Thev ought to allow this to be a quiet
wear after last years turmoil. the man
who nuts himself forward, or is put for
word by his friends too early in a politi-
cal camgaign, suffers injury rather than
benefit. There is only SO much that can
be said for man; after that comes rep
etition. which is WEAKNESS to the peo-
ple and they will seek fresh material OF
course where the occasion presents it
self. naturally the ambitious aspirant
may wisely make himself as prominent
before the people as he is able, but he
should not seek opportunity to gratui-
tously proclaim his candidacy"
The speaker is undoubtedly correct,
that the politicians and the candidates
ought to let the people rest such a year
at this, but we do not see any way of
checking tie tendency. In Georgia,
early campaigns are the rule and we pre-
dict that the agitation will show
marked increase from now on, though
we do not expect it to get heated until
next year.
In the inter view the speaker said fur
Their:
II see danger in the coming contests
in Georgia-danger of the gravest ma
ture. Any one who thinks that the di-
vision among the white people of the
sontb. which showed itself so menacingly
last wear, has been healed is sadly mis-
taken. 1t is going to crop up again all
over. and its ominous aspect lies in fore
ing the race question to the front again.
Each faction will seek the negro vote in
every WY possible, until finally social as
we'll as political equality may be gradu-
allv forced upon us. Already in one Of
the southern counties in the state the
ne sro has been placed IN the jury box by
the action of politicians, seeking thus to
influence his vote. He has been in the
Jury box in the larger cities for some
time past, but this does not mean as
much as in a rural community"
The Enluirer-Sun hopes and believes
that Mr.. Atkinson is mistaken in his ap-
prehension that there are serious divis-
ions a head among our people, and that
the color line will figure prominently in
the coming contests in Georgia. These
fears we're exaggerated in the campaign
last wear. and we believe there will be
less trouble on that score next year.
With prudence on the part of the leaders,
with RELOCATION to the rear of the dem
agogues. and with the expected good re-
suits from Mr.. CleVeland's administra-
ton. we believe the people of Georgia
will be nearer together next year than
thew have been in quite a long while
