A bill bas been Introduced in the Leg islature ot New York which provides for the establishment of a board of seven managers in each judicial district who are to hire suitable grounds and buildings in which all vagrants are to bo confined and compelled to work. Distinction ia made between criminals (who should be confined in prisons), the helpless poor (who are aided in workhous es), and ablebodied tramps. Idleness, which gains its support from mendicancy. is to be treated as a crime, and those who are a habitual burden on tbe continuity are to be made to support themselves. The "tramp" has become a class, aad must be treated as such. Xelther alms-house nor bouse of correction ia the place for him. and something between tbe two must be provided. In such an institution each in mate must be made to work, and thus be come self supporting. Such a law, if hon cstly and rigidly carried out cannot but result in benefit, not onlv to the tramn bu t tliejgeneral pabulic.

He was mis ed first, Friday, and it was ascertain ed that be bad not been either at bis home or his office for some days. Search waa made for biin, but so far in vain. Hall is, or was, tbe most singular man in America. A splen did lawyer, be preferred tbe plaudits of a dinner table of roystprers to any triumph that could be achieved at the bar. An estate politician, he might bare bad anything in tbe gift of his party, and waa elected mayor of tbe city, after filling other less im portant places, but his love of good fellowbjp came ia and wrecked him there. ither from good nature or because be needed the money, he al lowed the Tweed gang to get control of him, aad he shared tb odium of the ring He waa tried for complici ty in tbe great steal bat acquitted, and it killed htm as a politician and he resumed the practice of la. His Uohemtantsm overcame him again, and he got a craze for the stage. He believed be bad in aim the elements of a great actor, and in spite of the advice of friends wrote a play, and took himself the principal character in it. It was a fiat failure, and st tbe end of three weeks ho waa forced to go back to the law. Aad now he has disappeared, aod no one knows where be is. Home say that tbe return of Sweeny, wouldput him In an awkward position; others say that an English actress has control of bim, others that he is a defaulter, and dare not abide an investigation, others that be has gone crazy and is w&oderiag, and others that be has ended tbe drama behind which tbe public don't under stand which will come out In a few days. Osker Hall will probably turn up ia Europe, and will make himself tbe centre of a circle there as he waa bere. He baa not commit ted suicide for be enjoyed life too much. Hia life baa been a failure here, aad instead of attempting to mend it, h.e tjg thrown off ail re straints, aad. will dye as he pleases somewhere else. This will be tbe true sequel to the Hall mystery. urc mca.sxcfc Tbe life insurance companies are in a state of mind, for the Legislature is investigating them. It is shown that some of the companies pay their presidents such salaries aa 3700 er year, medical examiners froia 11 Q,- 000, to $14,000, aad the legal advis ers of the companies have an equally soft thing of it, Tb public ia exercis ed about it, and it ia aot to be won dered at, especially aa th officers rote themaelres these salaries. Oa th other band iT should be borne in mind that a man capable of keeping proper car of aucb enormous inter ests, is worth atxt all that can. be paid bim- The public don't care so much about the salaries as tbey do about tb other work some of the of ficers have don. For instance ooe president waa paid $330,000 for wrecking another company. Th La ves ligation shows that it has beea a regular thing for two companies to combine, aod aend out men to weak- j aa coueueoc la on of them, that a majority of ita policies might be bought up for little or nothing, those who refused to be so swindled being reinsured in ta surviviag company it waa a aery aat speeoiatkoa if a company could bo so discredited that its policiea could be bought up at tea cents oa the dollar ol their value. Th searching inquiry bow being maoe ia a good, thing, i Us shysters ia the busiaasa will b made kaowa, th weak companiea will be weeded oot, aad those entitled to confidence will be mad all th stronger aad bet ter.

CLCB AXCSSXKXrS. The straits that young men of for tune are pat to for amusement ia shown in an affair that happened io ooe of the clubs the otbar day. One young man made a remark concern ing a wish-bone in a turkey, and another said there was no such thing in the bird. Dispute ran high oa this important point, and it waa the topic of discussion for days, Finally a wager waa made of a supper for twenty, and the wiah-boue waa found. But it did oot end here. Tbe betters carved each a turkey, and one criticised the others' performance. Imraedately another wager was made aa to their respective skill with the carving-knife and a wager of another dinner waa made. Committees were appointed, specifications were made as to tbe points to be decided. And so the two young gentlemen made a carving match. It is a pity that the time was not recorded for tbe benefit of tbe ages. Another club was agi tated two days as to tbe size of an actress' foot, and ior a time it drove out of their mind all interest is hors es and other women. The only com fort I get 10 these things is that while they are finding wish-bones and carv ing turkeys on wsge.s they are doiog nothing worse. THl PEMTIST TBAMP. The police magistrates hare been taken in aod New York is laughing at tbem. Une morning a man was discovered by a policemen trying to break into a store down town. Of course be wss arrested, and before the magistrate be made a statement. He was a Dane and came to this country twenty years ago. Having been enticed into a gambling house and robbed, be became the unwilling victim of thieves and had lived a life of crime for twelve years. lie bad just been pardoned out of the Ohio penitentiary, whither he had been sent five years ago for robbing the first national hank ot Cincinnati. He bad walked all the way from Colum bus, c Juld set nothiaa to do, but de termined no; to go back to bis old life, had shammed robbery that he might be sent to Sing Sing, where be could live and be honest Intense sympathy was excited for this penitential thief. Suits of clothes were given him, money was sent to him, and influential parties got him a place in a paint store. Hansen was about to walk out in a blsze of virtuous glory, when unfortunately he was recognized and detained. The matter was investigated and it was found that tbe bank in Cincinnati bad never been robbed, that he bad never been in tbe Ohio penitectiary, and bad never committed any partic ular Crimea. In short he was merely a very impatient tramp who bad cal culated niuely aa to how to make a raise. Tbe moment it was discover ed that be was oot a hardened vil lain who bad got a spasm of repent ance, all interest in bim ceased, aad he was bundled out with as much readiness as he had be:a taken in. But he got sway with some excellent clothes and money enough to set up a smau Dar. tlilHtP ia improving, and everything wears a better aspect, Tbe city is filled with buyers, and the merchants are en couraged.

Tbe opinion too commonly enter tained, that tbe cultivation of tbe ground meets with scanty remunera tion only, compared with other occu pations, ia altogether erroneous. It is true that agriculturists, for labor, do not receive as high wages as are sometimes paid to Grst-rate artizans, and particularly confidential clerks and accountants in large mercantile houses, banks and insurance offices. But then, it should be remembered, that while bere aud there a person receives a large salary for personal services, several hundred receive barely sufficient to meet their person al expenses. We will not institute any comparison as to what each claw feels necessitated to expend for living and comfort. Owing to the usages of society, tbe ordinary laboring far mer, however, bas been known to lay up moie money .though receiving but two hundred dollars a year than a clerk in a city receiving six hundred. We may not change these usages, however we may oppose them. Each class has its hardships. Clerks and merchants are often bank rupt, and oh how such changes test the courage of these! how they de stroy the physical energies and mar tbe social affections! Wc are too well acquainted with such scene?. Let young men in rural life, inclined to be dissatisfied with their condition, think of all these before tbey resolve to change their occupation.
