Tramp Llfo.
The cliinf r tbe State detective force of
MiiBsncliiiKetU lma enlivened bis nntniul
report with an ncoount of no expedition
umloi taken by two of his subordinates Inst
summer wbich rendu like the skclotou rec
ord out of which no me of Le Hugo's stories
of the adventures ol roving Spanish
rogues have been elaborated. These de
tectives set out early iu July with the in
tention of learning something of tramp life
through actual experience among the Jovi
al vagabond who are picking up a living
nil over the country without toiling or
Hpluning, depending mainly upon gather
ing into barns. They transformed them
selves Into members of that careless frater
nity whose anthem Is the old song with the
'uugrammntical refrain :
"A light heart and a thin pair of breeches
Goes over the world, my boys !"
and traversed Western Massachusetts.
Tbey had plenty of goodly company from
tbe beginning of their journey, and soon
fell into n gang of twenty tramps. They
met at a rendezvous in a certain woods,
forming a motley band made up of all na
tionalities, and a single extract from the
officers' diary throws a gleam of light over
their vagabond mode of life :
" July 14 AVe.dlvlded luto four squads,
each ot which was to take turns in provid
ing food for the gang.. The Germnus went
out to day and returned with a small pig,
nine chickens, a quantity of eggs and
bread, all of which, with the exceptiou of
the bread, was stolen. They carried with
them tittli hooks and lines, which they
used for ditching chickens, simply by put
ting on a kornel of corn for bait. In some
instances, when they have enough rum,
they soak bread with it and feed the fowls,
which are soon in a condition to be easily
raptured."
On the inarch the gang divided into four
parties and pursued different roads, mov
ing for an appointed place of rendezvous,
and using red and blue chalk to mark tho
routes for the guidance of stray comrades.
The whole tendency of the testimony is to
tbe effect that there is a certain system and
organization among tramps, and that they
live less by imposing upon the credulity of
bonest people than by potty stealing. At
the time of the detectives' expedition,
however, the excitement attending the
railroad l lots was at its height, and some
of the wandering bands exhibited a reck
lessness and hardihood that only needed an
opportunity to break into violence and
crime.
The Curse of Americans Is Impetuosity.
We cauuot do anything moderately. We
don't take time to eat or driuk. When the
season of social gatherings 'comes on in
w inter, we rush from one to another, night
after night, until we become tired out and
the system is run down. In Summer we
ily to the watering places and idle our
time in luxury. No wonder that we be
come "blaze" in middle life. Theu we try
medicines to recuperate, and often resort
to unfortunate stimulation in the vain hope
of wooing back our youthful energies.
Every European sees this. As things are,
the best remedy, when tbe physical powers
begin to decline, is tbe Peruvian Syrup,
which has for many years been used in ex
actly this direction. It is the best tonic
known to man and the least injurious. It
restores wasting energies, strengthens the
system against the insidious maladies
which are tnduoed by weakness, and builds
up the syBtetn properly and effectively.
Hold by dealers geuerally.
A Ready Auctioneer.
Charles Matthews, tbe elder, once in
dulged in his well-know taste for mimicry
at the expense of Mr. Tattersall, difring
a sale of blood stock oonduoted by the lat
ter. .
" Tbe first lot, gentlemen," said Mr.
Tattersall, "is a bay Ally by Smolensko,"
" The first loty gentlemen," echoed Mr.
Matthews, in the same tone of voice, " is a
bay filly by Bmoleosko."
Tbe auctioneer looked somewhat annoy
ed, but proceeded : What shall we say
to begin with ?"
"What shall we say to begin with?"
replied the echo.
Still endeavoring to oonoeal bis vexation,
Mr. Tattersall inquiringly called out, "One
hundred guineas ?"
"One hundred guineas?" echoed Mat
thews. "Thank you, sir," cried Mr. Tattersall,
bringing down the hammer with a bang,
" the filly is yours 1" Matthews was con
siderably taken aback by bis sudden acqui
sition of " blood stock," and tho company
enjoyed the joke immensely.
Familiar In Every Household.
Dr. It. V. Pierce, the great "medicine
man1' of Buffalo, is running for the office
of fteoator from that city. lie seems to
be tlt most popular man on the track, and
well he may be, for his name is familiar in
every household in the laud, and people
will vote for him regardless of bis politics.
Willxxfoarre News.
Correct, as tbe News always is. The
Doctor was elected by about 3,000 majority.
Buffalo News.
C3TIf meu cannot be talked to death It
is now oonceded that they talk too much
for tbe benefit of their health. Not a death
bas occurred amoag the inmates of the
Illinois deaf and dumb asylum for three
