I propose to treat upon the subject
of woods, and if I rnmble a little it is
because it is suggested by the jneme.
There are many varieties ot wood :
hard wood. Soft wood, green wood, dry
wood. I would, you would, and lots ot
others who would, too. if they could.
Beams of the eyo are made out of i
would. Ships uro builf. of hard wood,
which accounts for so many hard-ships
sailors have to encounter, 1 ve an
ocean. A Bhip made of soft wood en
tirely would bo a very soft tiling, but
manners who atterupteu to nnvipnie
her wouldn't tave a very soft thiug.
Woo T is not an ore. but our is gener
ally wood. It can be used o er and
o'er, however. I saw a sailor use one
o'er his slupmntc s head once.
Man a wood is a luvonte variety
with juveniles ou account of the sugar
it yields. It ia a mistake, however, to
suppose that maple sugar grows on the
uap;e in caKs, nireaoy cmupiuu
lins 10 no nam
afterward. If
would please the
child reu maple would.
Beech wood is ft hard and tough va
riety, although it is toucher wnere
there is no wood at all, nnd no coal to
he had. The beach of the sea is very
difl'creot from the beech found ot dry
land: don't. I beech-seech you, con
found the two, although the confound
ed eeft beach once enntoundeu nio. A
promiing beech it was, yet full of
treacherous pitfalls, and I thought of
suing for breech of promise. There,
are few juveniles who are not more or
less familiar with birch. It is Ire
ouentlv broncbt home to them. My
icspei-tive bire used to bring some of
it home to uic once or twice a week.
Ilia remarks on the subject were
very cutting. He loved to mingle dis
cipline with instruction. "My sou, he
would say, deftly balancing the rod
in his hand to determine its relative
heft, toughness and elasticity, and run
ning his eye slowly down to the tip,
"do vou know what kind of wood this
is?" (.How well dolkuowit). "Birch,"
"Correct." and then he corrected me a
little lust to get his muscle in play.
"Where is it touud?" I wanted to say
it was found on my back about as oil
en ai anywhere, but dured not, so I
elated in a general way that it was
found in the woods. "State to tha
Court" fmv father was a member of
the bar) "wuelher it is pliable or not,
(and he plied it vigorously). "It is,'
I managed to writhe "uud loutn r
briuging tafts of jacket every whack.
"Tough," I roared. Then while taking
a breathing spell he would explaiu
that the Indians used to make canoes
out of birch bark, and I told him once
I thought birch would make any body
bark, but I immediately stood correct
wood, and be is apt to get up a
and cry. '
I find I have said nothing of the
oak, the emblem of strength, courage
and endurance. The poet exhibited
great alToclimi for the aged oak when
he sang " ' f
"Woodman, spare that tree,"
But it was rieht enough for the wood-
mnn's'pnir to "rake down tho treo if
there was no "pair" out against his
baud any poker player will tell you
that. Oak enters largely in tho con
struction of ships, which may have
suggested the song of the caulkers
"Oakum, oakum with ms."

one evidently was very raw. His dress
was snmielerica!. and as he held forth
in no nonet ruined manner about "the
terrible sin," and "Babylonish Chey
enne," the old-timers within hearing
enjoved in an uncouth way, poking
siuafl chad at him. In the midst of
one of his tirades agaftist "this sink of
perdition," a man cati)3 into the tent,
walked up to the bar, and demanded
a drink. It seems for some reason he
had been refused before, buddenly
throwing his hand under his coat, he
drew a sixshooter, and half facing the
crowd and the bar-keeper, bo said:
"By O , I am going to have a drink,
right here, or I'll turn loose!" (mean
ing to shoot). To tell the truth, most
of the terrible old timers sunk under
the counter and death to somo one
seemed imminent. I confess to a cold
sensation down my back, and thought
of several debts that different panics
owed me, and wondered if I should
ever be paid ; the green field in which
1 had sported as a child rose before
me vividly; 1 remember one ounuay

he strides up to the death-deuling cuss

weapon fiom this terror; grasps him
by the throat, fairly lifting him from
his feet, his protruding tongue and
blackening face shows the terrible
grip of the person's hand, and to mako
the picture more complete, rays iu or
dinary tones : "My friend, I have ob

One of tke least flattering tributes

South Akmn. November 9, 1871."
The Wadswortli En tcrprfce-gives the
following interesting particulars of a
recent and important meeting in
eitv:
The Roost was called to order by
Bro. Outvajob-, and on account of the
uhsetice; of the secretary, who was
reconoitering fit a certain hen-coop
near tho cLtial bridge. Bro. Ben Ziuo
wii3 appointed to fill his place pro ( em
The minutes of November 20, 1873
were read and approved, except that
clause which permits any tramp to
curry a horse to pay for a breakfas
nnd lodging. In its place, however
the follcwing resolution was submitted
which has been endorsed by all Koosts
in Stark and Wayne comities: I
lltsohed, Thnt'we, as tramps, grate
fully accept all tho cold shoulder which
may be given us tu per the advice -of
the EnlerpvUe man.
With a huge ham in his hand, Brd.
IJlacsiu. then took tho ground, and
made an amendment as follows: "And
if they have no cold shou der, beja
bers we'll take the ham." The amend
ment was 'carried, and the ham pasted,
after which Bro. Nabemquick was sent
down to Jackson street after the rest
of the hog, or to Exchange street if
it could not bo found, and policemen
were plenty.
The committee to whom wa3 reftr
red ft design for a haulier lor the I.
O. I. T.. reported that it had been de
cided upon, and the flag was produced.
In the cent ro was a huge man, with
his arms stretched out, lugging for his
dinner, while the Goddess of Agricul
ture ami Mechanics lay ou the ground
with her neck under his heel. In tho
comer of the flag was a huge sponge,
in the iuterstices of which were thous
ands of credulous fools of this and ad
joiuing counties, while the words, in
hoc vineet (in this you conquer) were
disulavcd iu gilt letters ou a green
back-ground indicative of tho char
acter of our patrons. The geuer.il
tlesigu was much applauded by the
ltoost, and it was suggested that the
artist receive a vote of thanks, i which
was cordiully given him.
Under tho head of "grievances,
Bro. Oldsod said, with tears in his
eyes, that he had only averaged $3.00
a" day since the panic, and some me
chanics were unable to mnjse half that
Ho was informed by the
Chair that the members must be satis
fied with i reductiou for a while, un
til our Order is better appreciated by
young men who part their hair in the
middle, and carry gold headed canes,
from which our ranks are to be re
cruited. The Chair ulso beverely rep
rimanded those mcmbeis who accept
bread and butter and apple butter for
a meal ; for under such a regimen no

enormous crimes, 1 weed has Cecu nl- -

occupies a large room in tho building
of tho penitcutiury. ' This apartment,
situated near the head of tho stairs
leading from the main entrance, is
twenty feet long, twelve feet wide and '
twelve feel in height. It contains a
double-bed, screened by ft sliding cur

washstand, two writing desks, ' one of
which is for tho accommodation of hi

The bureau is supplied with all the
necessary articles of toilet. To spare
the "statesman's'' eyes, the whitewnsh
