 Indications In the Boys Life That Prove
 Prophetic of His Future.
 Carlyle says that you can tell how a man would do anything from the way he sings. However this may be, it is certainly true in nine cases out of ten that you can tell what sort of man the boy will make from seeing him at play when obliged to stay indoors without a companion. Lord (then plain William) Armstrong, the famous engineer, was a delicate boy, and one winter when 6 years old was confined to the house for months. To amuse himself he set several old spinning wheels in motion by weights descending on strings from top to bottom of the house over the staircase railing.
 Friends and relatives brought mechan- ical toys for the litlte prisoner, which he at once pulled to pieces. It was not satisfactory to him to see "Jack" jump up in the "box" when the lid was raised. He would know what made "Jack" spring up.
 One day. while fishing near rustic mill, the water wheel attracted his at- tention, because it was fed by a Till above which descended from a height of nearly 100 feet Seeing that only 20 feet of the descent was utilized. he pondered the question. Why not use the whole descent of the stream as a motive pow er?" A swinging lamp in a church sug- gested to Galilei the pendulum as means of measuring time, and Arm strong saw in the descending Till power for hydraulic crane. He invented one. and it attracted tho attention of leading engineers. Lord Armstrong's name is now. as most of our readers know, identified with huge rified cannon, the manufao. tureof large projectilcs and the build ing of mighty vessels of war.-Scottish American.

 MANUFACTURING IN WATERBURY.
 correspondent sends in the following facts relative to one of the largest manu- factories in the city of Waterbury:
 Three years ago Benedict X Burnham's shop was running on good time. It was an asserted fact at that time that business was good and demand for goods large. At the present time Benedict < Burnham are doing a larger business. They have crowded their works with new machinery and the orders are coming in so fast that 1t they were situated as they were three years ego they would have to work until 9 o'clock at night. They are employing as many hands as they can find room for, and | only for the new machinery put in within | two years, there would not be space to crowd in the workmeu. Does this prove that the hard times have passed? Does this prove that the democrats were not re- sponsible for the hard timesp Does this prove that since the tariff bill passed con- | idence has returned and we are now on an era of prosperity?
 | William E.. Thoms and Edward l.. Ma loney will make addresses tomorrow night at A. A. Irion's residence. Ward street. Wednesday night at waterville and Thurs day night in the eastern part of the town.
 The German democrats have arranged comfortable and cozy headquarters in the | old police station on Phoenix avenue. The rooms are open every night and any German who desires information can re- ceive it there. Every German should visit headquarters and keep himself posted.
 The voters of Waterbury seem to take n little more interest in the polite l issues oi the day than those of New Britain and Middletown. and don't propose to let m opportunity to go by no matter what the condition of the weather. Last Thursday night when the dem ocratic nominees spoke U a crowded house in the auditorium. republican rally was held in Middletown and although it was extensively advertised and had such men as s. W. Kellogg of Wa terbury and Joe Barbour of Hartford on the list of ST eakers all they could gather was 2S6 persons. The same night the re- publicans had made arrangements for { big rally at New Britain and the audience was confined to SIX persons two of whom were democrats.

Vote For Party Principles.

Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Let every democrat in Waterbury take notice of what Comptroller Staub said at last Thursday nights rally: If you vote for me. you vote for me once; if you vote for your senator and your two representa- tives, you vote for me three times. For if there is no election by the people. the members of the general assembly will elect the officers and the importance of having as many democratic members in the next assembly must be apparent. Samuel G. Davidson. William E. Thoms and Edward l.. Maloney should receive the undivided support of every democrat iD Waterbury. They are honest. clean and intelligent citizens and they are in addition, democrats. Any legislation per taining to this city will be taken care of in an able, efficient and satisfactory manner by these three gentlemen. and they will look to it that the interests of the demo- crats of this city are fully protected. Democrats of Waterbury remember that Messrs Davidson. Thoms and Maloney are democrats and will support and vote for every democratic measure presented to the next assembly. See that they are elected by rousing majority.

 The speaker also touched upon Lord Roseberys speech nt Bradford Saturday evening in his address, but after the leo tuTo, in m interview on tho subject, he said:
 'I regard that speech as trumpet blast of prophecy. So far as have read it in the cablegram. I believe it will come with great satisfaction to the Irish peo- pie. It will have great effect in Ireland and in England as well, and I believe 1t will carry the next general election.

Kelly Says

There is more free raw material in the United States than in any other nation on the face of the globe. We have more coal and iron ere in the mountains and valleys in this country then twenty generations can use it was placed there by the Lord for mans use. and he has furthermore filled the hillsides with wool producing qualities, the same as he has enriched the fields to produce the necessities of life. and all has been given us free of taxation. and will never have an end
 Andrew Jackson wrote in a letter to Dr Coleman, dated April 26. ls4i. as follows: ..Providence has filled our mountains and our plains with minerals and given us a climate and soil for the growing of hemp and wool. These being the grand materials of our national defei SC. they oucht to have extended to them adequate and fair protection. that our n auufac- tories and laborers may be placed on fair competition with those of Europe. and that we may have within our own country A supply of those leading an dimportsnt articles so essential to man." Thomas Jef- ferson said in a letter to Benjamin Austin, dated March Is, 1Si6: Experience ha. taucht me that manufacturers are now as necessary to our independence as to cur comfort: and If those who quote me as of different opinion will keep pace with me in purchasing nothing foreign where an equivalent domestic fabric can be obtained without regard to difference of price. it will not be our fault if we do not have a supply at home equal to our demand and wrest that weapon of distress from the hand which has so long wantonly yielded it" Both Jefferson and Jackson were ad- yocates of protective tariff laws.
 And KELLY further says that every
 man who quotes contrary to the principles of Jackson and Jefferson is his own
 greatest enemy and vill regret his judg- ment when it is too late. And the man
 who fails to buy flour at the following quotations will makes sad mistake. for in
 my opinion four hRs struck bottom to-day Tones Speculative Flour III 83.S5.
