THE uppended diary, printed from the report of Chief Detective Steph enson, of Massachusetts, gives tbe ad ventures of two amateurs sent out to study by association the ways of the real tramp: July 10. Left Springfield. Very soon met two tramps, and we Immediately mude Inquiry as to our prospects for get ting food and lodgings while we were pursuing our investigations. These men Informed us that we could get very little food hy tugging, excepting dry bread, and sometimes a little milk ; that they generally stole what" they got. These men were Irish, 35 and 43 years of age, one a shoemaker by trade, and the other a tailor ; they Bald they could get work If they desired, but preferred to tramp; they only worked when they wanted money to get liquor, and not then If they could steal it. One had tramptM five and the other eight years. We all slept together In tho woods during tho night at a place near Blandford, and parted company In the morning, after furnishing them with some tobacco. July 11. Started from Blandford toward Russell ; soon met a tramp, a Frenchman fully 50 years of age. He had tramped about eight years; went with him. He said he tramped through the country during the summer and full, going to one of the larger cities when the cold weather came on, where he gen erally managed to get arrested for sumo petty crime, for the purpose of getting a sentence that would keep him in con finement during the winter months. We gave him some bread. He had with him a large valise containing four bottles of gin among other things. This man was on the road to Buffalo, N. Y. Slept during the night In Itussell. July 12. Started from llussell at daybreak In a pouring rain; soon went into a barn, while the Frenchman went out to beg some food. He returned with a large leco of corned beef, which, he had stolen. July 13. Left the barn quite early where we had passed the night; soon met three tramps; went with them Into the woods, where we found fourteen more. Our party now numbered twen ty. Of these, three were German, two Dutchmen, one Swced, one Frenchman, three Americans, and the remainder Irish. They had been camped In tbls place some five days, subsisting princi pally upon chickens and potatoes which had been stolen In tbe night. Conclud ed to remain with this gang for a while. July 14. We divided intofoursquads each of which was to take Its turn in providing food for the gang. The Ger mans went out to-day, and returned with a small pig, nine chickens, a quan t ty of eggs aud bread, all of which with the exception of the bread were stolen. They carried with them fish-hooks, and lines, which they used for catching chickens, simply by putting on a kernel of corn for bait. In many instances, when they have rum, they soak bread with it and feed the fowls, which are soon iu a condition to be easily cap tured. July 13. Started with three others to procure food. We were refused at the first house we called at. Some of the party found in. a woodshed near the house a keg containing some five or six gallons of cider, which they appropria ted to their own use, and left for the camp. We went on alone, and finally purchased at a farm-house some bread and meat, with which we returned to the woods, where we found most of the gang intoxicated from the too free use of the cider. July 10. Concluded to leave this lo cality, as it was getting rather hot on account of tbe depredations made upou the people in the vicinity. We di vided into four parties in order to avoid suspicion, taking two different routes to the town of Washington. The party who passed over each route first was to mark with chalk (one party using red and the other blue) the prominent points in their routes, for the guidance of thoso who were to follow. An arrow is usu ally made upon large rocks, trees, &c, particularly at the cross-roads, to direct each gang to the place fixed upon as tho general rendezvous. Nearly nil the reg ular tramps carry chalk of different colors. Tbe Frenchman left the gang to-duy. A short time after he left, some of the pnrty, fearing that he might "sell tberu out" to the people in the town, and cause them trouble on account of the thefts committed, followed him- for the purpose of compelling him to return; but they failed to find him. Slept la the woods at night around a large fire, but suffered very much from the cold. July 17. -Benched Middlefield, where we met three men belonging to one of the other gungs. We kept together ou the tramp, generally separating when we came to vilhtges, and going through singly. , We luld in the woods most of the duy, getting plenty of food by beg ging mid Mealing. The young fellow find it difficult to get food of any descrip tion, but the old men seem to excite more compassion ; they generally have a pitiful story ready for use, gotten up without regard to truth. The usual question to the young tramp Is, " Why don't you go to work?" They always profess readiness to work, but generally give, as a trnilc to which they are accus tomed to work some occupation in which they are sure no employment will be oil'ered in that locality. One of the stiniogaiig stole, to-day, a jug of bay rum out of a farmer's wagon, all of which was drank during the night. Slept in a barn. July 18. It rained very hard when morning came, but we intended to move on ; were prevented by the fact that most of the party were sick from the effects of the bay rum. We finally start ed at about dunk toward Hiusdale; pass ed through PltUfleld during the night ; went through singly, because the old tramps thought if we were caught we Hhould be taken to the lockup and made to work in the morning for lodging and breakfast. This plan of working to pay for board Is not In accordance with the idea that tramps entertain as to what is Just and suitable. We reached the Shaker village uboutO o'clock on the moruing of July 19. Some of the gang went out to beg; got all wc. wanted to cat from the Shakers, who always give liberally. July 20. Separated from the gang to-day, as they were going to the west cm part of New York. We passed through ltichuiond at night, reaching West Stockbridge, where we slept in a barn. July 21. ileached the State line, and taking the railroad track, passed through West Stockbridge to Stockbridge, and about a mile beyond the latter pluce met two tramps who had been put oil a freight train ; they had beat the rail roads for their rldo from Dunkirk to tbls point. They Bturted originally from Chicago. One of them was a paint er by trade, and said he belonged to Spencer, Mass. He was about 35 years old. The other man was a clgarmaker. He was about 00 years old ; had tramped fourteen years. We slept during the night in a barn in West Stockbridge. July 22. Passed through Hiusdale very early. About two miles out we met a gang of eight tramps, who said they were ou their way to Pennsylva nia to join the railroad riots. They proposed to travel on the railroad tracks separating and going singly through the villages, stealing rides on freight trains If possible, and expected to reach Pennsylvania in ubout a week. Left them, and traveled until nearly mid night, when we met four others who were also bound for the riots. Got a supper of them, consisting of roasted potatoes, beef, and ham, which they said they had got by begging. One of the party was very well dressed, with plenty of cigars in his pocket. He wore a large, pluin gold ring. We tried to get his confidence, but failed. His ap pearance indicated that he had been but a short time on tho tramp. Another man iu this gang had a large valise containing a light buggy harness. He said he raised it this sido of Springfield. Left them, and arrived at Huntington. Slept In a barn by permission of tho owner. July Co. Went to Russell, but could not get anything to eat by begging, and, being nearly out of money, returned to Westfield, and telegraphed to Boston for funds. Remained during tho next duy, July 0, waiting for money. July 26. Received Eome money by telegraph, and moved on ; soon met two tramps with valises going to the moun tains ; went with them, and soon met another party of seven. They were en gaged in roasting chickens and potatoes. Remained with them during the night. These fellows had lteeti waiting four duys in this pluce, hoping there would be a strike on the Boston and Albany road. , July 28. We staid in this place all day. Three of tho party went out at night and brought in three hens and a can of milk which they had stolen. JULY 29. The party separated, to meet betweon Chester and Middlefield, five taking the turnpike and the others the railroad. Tbe gang to which we be longed arrived at the designated pluce of meeting on the morning of July 30. Waited for the party, but did not find them till the next day. Of the eight tramps in this gang two are English (both cigarmakers,) oue a thoroughbred Irishman, and the remainder Irish Americans. Their ages range from 22 to 40 years. August 1 .The whole gang- started on the trump toward the town of Wash ington ',' we met another party of thirty three tramps in the woods about twenty miles from Pittsfield. ' In reply to the question as to what they were up to, they said they were waiting for a strike on the Boston and Albany Railroad; that there were, scattered about in that country some 400 men, who were all wuititig to join tho strikers. The men appeared ready for any pluu of pillugo and destruction that was proposed. The proposition made to burn the small de pots on the road would have been car ried Into effect, excepting for our remon strances, nnd the argument that It would be laid to the poor men who wero em ployed on the road. The plan of soup ing the rails In various places, for the purpose of stopping the cars, was rils cussed; but, feeling Bure that there would be a strike, nothing was attempt ed, they preferring to wuit. During all this time we were engaged In trumping, we made it our business, at the sugges tion of the chief detective, to ascertain whether It was the lack of employment that eaused these people to become wan derers and vagrants. Of the entire num ber with whom we conversed, we found but two who did not scout tho Idea of going to work for the purpose of earn ing an honest livelihood; and wo very much doubt If these two wero ready to engine In any laborious employment. Chasing a Railroad Train. THE following story is told by I he Rev. J. Hyatt Smith : " We stopped at Syracuse, New York, for dinner. You remember the railroad depot, centrally situated, with its eastern and western entrance, which are exact ly alike, bs much so as the two ends of a car. After we had dined the depot mas ter informed us that we had fifteen min utes before the departure of the next train. This, thought I, would give me an opportunity to Bee the city and a glo rious chance for a smoke, provided a clergyman could be tempted into such a worldly and' tasteful amusement. I sauntered forth, and, after an absence of exactly thirteen minutes, having enjoy ed a delightful and soothlngstroll, I was leisurely returning, watch In hand, when to my astonishment I beheld tho train moving slowly out of the other end of the depot and increasing in speed at every pull of the gigantic locomotive. Here indeed was a cull which admitted neither correspondence nor delay ; there was no time for taking it into considera tion. So, without conferring with flesh and blood, I put like a sky-rocket with a doublo fuse. For a moment I thought I wus gaining ground, although I knew that I was losing wind. I was encour aged in the race by sundry helpful fel lows who kept crying out as I passed : "Go It gaiters I" "Plucky boy I" "He ain't left oh, no I" and well-meaning and benignant exhortations. Though they intended perhaps to help me over the course, I found that the more they shouted the less I was inclined to run, and more decidedly did tho locomotive make Its way against me. To give up the chase, to submit to the chagrin of being loft, to lose my party and my passage, meet with disap pointment, not to meet my friends all this was bad enough ; but the thought of encountering, all the way back to the depot that line of Interested individuals, who, with their cheering exclamation s, had so feelingly encouraged moon my outward journey this was tbe bitterest pill in this unexpected done But it must tie done ; so, tapering off gradually,! gave up thecontest.und went to see if I could find the depot muster whose blundering statements were the cause of all my trouble. Without search that individual advanced to meet me with the bland recognition of a fact that nobody could well deny. " Well, you got left, did you V I replied with the resentment of asl lenciug eye. If I looked as I tried to look my photograph at that instant would hardly be chosen to grace an al bum gullury of "eminent divines." Several bystanders seeking informa tion asked with a show of confidential' interest in my case, in what wise tbe thing had happened ; and others wish ing to point a moral, advised mo to bo on baud earlier next time. With returning breath, relief and words came together, and I squarely charged the railway official with all the blame. I spoke of his incompetency in no measurable terms, recalling bow,uftcr I had placed my party iu the cur, , he had assured me that there wus full sev enteen minutes to spare before the train went out, "while here," said I, with it triumphant exhibition of my watch, "tho seventeen minutes are eveu now barejy up aud yet the train bus gono clear out of sight." After no little hot talk hud shot back and forth, with the usual variations and Uual peroratlous of "you did," and "I didn't," "you're unotner," cto I asked him if I would be risking another chaueo of belug left if I depended on him to give me the exuet hour of tho next east ern bound train. " Eastern 5" exclaimed he. ' ' "Yes, eastern ," I exclaimed with a decidedly upward and rising, inflection. " Why," quoth he, the train you have been chauing with such good luck wasn't the eustern train, but tho west, em express." - t v . .. ..i i With much interesting x-oufusion and excitement I stum mured out,.,"Theu where In Juppa Is thu custom train V" . , " Why. there it is," replied lie, "just getting under way at the oilier pud of the depot ; leg It, or you'll lose that." If ever I mode quick time I mude It then. I felt as if I was all les. One glance, however, at tho rear door of the last caj as I was Hearing ltcanic' near being too much for me. I discovered the group of my lost friends, whose forms seemed bursting with poorly sup pressed and Ill-timed mirth. The Oddest of Auctions. The Dead Letter Office, Washington, has had Its annual auction of aci'iuuiila ted articles, numbering nearly lo.iiiiu. The people who send )lncknge that never reach their destination cuti look for them here. From the articles on the list, oue concludes that tt is the Indies of the land that avnll themselves of I he priveleges of third class mall mutter. mid then write wrong directions, so that they all go wrong. A "Globe-Democrat" lettersays: From false hair, glass eye and store teeth, the lists embrace neurly every article of the female toilet dress goods,, luces, about a hundred pairs or kid gloves, silk handkerchiefs, veils, und every kind of Jewelry, some of the hit ter really valuublc, but the greater j..a rt consisting of prize package and dollar store ornuments,' and ending up u iili apple-seed bracelets and peach-stone sleeve buttons. Enough rings to d i o rato every finger of Brlareus' hands, in id and about a thousand pieces of sl,. e( muslc go further to prove the cnrelis ness or stupidity of people who K-nd merchandise through the malls. Tho goods are rattled off by a hunting auctioneer, who gives no one a change to see wiial he Is selling. All the small pieces ore put in numbered envelopt s, and as the auctioneer waves the yellow paper around his head one can just . ee that there is something in it. If it Is fulse hair just three hairs can be seen, und two yurds of water frizzes were thus knocked down to some tall man for five cents. The sume way with luces. The auc tioneer waved a yellow envelope and cried " lace I lace !" aud one valorous lady culled out " fifteen cents," ar.d found, on opening her prize, that she 'had won three yards of fine, creamy Valenciennes, two inches wide. At this stroke of luck every feminine Toodles prcpured to bid on the next piece of lace, and when it was announc ed, it came down at twenty-five cents, after a spirited contest, and proved to be a few yards of the coarest tourchon that machinery ever made. The whole thing was nothing but a lottery, and for those who drew prizes ten times as many drew blanks. Dip It Up. A ship was sailing in the southern waters of the Atlantic, when her crew saw another vessel making signals of distress. They bore down toward the distressed ship ami hailed them : "What is the mattery" " We are dying for water," was the response. " Dip it up, then," was answered. " You are in the mouth of the Amazon river." ' . There those sailors wete thirsting, nnd suffering, aud fearing, and longing for water, and supposing there was nothing but tbe ocean's brine around them, when, in fact, they had sailed uncon sciously into tbe broad mouth of the mightiest river on the globe, and did not know it. And though to them it seem that they must periah with thirst, yet there was a hundred miles of fresh water all around them, and they had noth ing to do but to "dip it up." Jusus Christ says : " If any man thlrst,let him come unto Me and drink." "And tho Spirit and tho bride say,come, and whosoever will, let him come, and take of the water of life freely." Thirst ing soul, the flood U all around you ; "dip it up, then !'' and drink, and thirst no more. lirltlxh Workman, tfSF Gerov, nn old man of eighty, wan sitting at the door of his rural dwelling, when a youth from town came to him, and entered into conversation. When he heard the number of the aged man's years, he marvelled at the hculthy and vigorous appearance before him, and asked Gerov what ho hud done to enjoy such strength and serenity in the winter of his life. He answered, "My son, this Is, like every good gift, from above. Yet we must do something here below tx obtain it." Then the old man rose, took tho stranger to the orchard, and showed him the splendid trees, luden with delicious fruit. Then the old man suid, " Dost thou marvel that I now en joy the fruit of these trees? Behold, my son, I planted them in my youth. Hero thou bust the mystery of my quiet, fruitful old uge." The youth bowed hU head; for ho understood the old man's words,, ami pondered them In his heart. h'rvinnlncha'. fiiT Right i right, llioii-li only otto limn in iv thousand pursue it; .aud wrong will be forovt-r wrong, though U be the allowed piuetioe of the other nine hundred und ninety nine.
