SLet every colored man who favors the ivation of his race subscribe for the Lead er; and let every white man who believe that slavery was a crme against humanity and tliat it is the duty of the ruling race to aid the Negro in hu struggle for moral, social a ad intellectual elevation do likewise. Indications point to the feet that the dead -lock may be broken at any time. The electric light is being rapidly adopted all over tho country in place ofcas, as a medium for lightins tho streets of cities. Tho Democracy are not only trying to carry water on both shoulders in the municipal contest, but on their heads andunJerboth arms also. They seek to make capital against the JRepublican ticket on account of tho bo-' called temperanco amendment, and then trv to make votes for Professor Dmtt"dmu,1o iu0iCiuFa,,w They howl about what they call cxtravaganco in the city government, and then complain of the inadequacy . .. . . , r l i of police protection, all of which sunpie lacts go to Show that they really have no issue upon which to make a fight. Secretary Kirkwood has called the attention of Hon. J. Milton Turner to to the fact that there are at present no lands in Indian Territory open to eeneral settlement. Tho throwing open of this territory to immigration "will be one of the political questions of the future. It doesn't seem possi ble, however, that so much fertile land as is embraced in the unoccupied portion of this territory, cm be given up to tho indolent savagery of a few , thousand painted Indians. These people musi cuiicr ueeome aanivcc ized, or else go to the wall. The un A. 1 Tl ' occupied Oklaharaa lands are needed for the grand army of people now "going West," and it is useless to re sist what is evidently tho inevitable destination of this and all other virgin territory of this cotinent. It must all be occupied and mado productive by those who aro fitted for the pur pose. THK CITY ELECTION. "Wc commend to every voter in tho citv the following able statement of the political situation, from tho Journal of this city: "There is nothing in the past history tf the city government of Indianapolis difficult to understand. It is . plain and comprehensible by every tax-payer. Tho facts simply iL.i .1 n . art mat. wnen me jemocrauc party had full power the city's fuuds were expended with wasteful prodigality. Evidences of recklessness and dishon esty were patent to tho most unob a i f serving. n.very citizen and every taxpayer felt ans? suffered tho conse quences ol misrule. The simple question now is, shall this state of things he restored again? What Democratic cityjule is has been writ ten in the records and impressed upon the memory so thoroughly that it is not likely any citizen of Indian apolis will ever fonret it. It is the sublimity of impudence for the same men who inaugurated a Tweed system here but a few years ago to ask tho people who hurled them from power indignantly to- reseat them again. The fact that they seek by a subterfuge, the nomination of a respectablo man, to gain what they could not achieve by nominating a representative Democrat, will not avail them. Professor Smart can not pull through the load ot antique and foul smelling Democracy behind him. Neither can ho deodorize it. Its offense is rank, and tho evidence of it is in our city-lax records, the police-court ' records of the days of Democratic rule, and the tax receipts of citizens at that time. If elected, Professor Smart would be powerless in tho hands of the men who seek to slip . into tho city treasury under his coattails. He would find himself a mcro puppet in tho hands of men who have little respect for school-teachers or the mild methods of educators. He

would find himself in association with men who, once in power, will not be balked in their purposo by any soft suggestions as to honesty or fidelity to official trust His administration would be, as before, a Democratic administration pure and simple and what that is the official figures and records herctoforo published abundantly show.

"The management of the atlairs ot thocity of Indianapolis differs not widely from those of a great corpora tion. They require honesty, business ability, industry and fidelity to tho stockholders. It is not common in the management of corporations to vn-oWt. :i cashier once convicted of stealing, or to restore a defaulting clerk, or recall a President who has distinguished himself by embezz'cment. Exactly this is what the Democratic party of Indianapolis now asks our citizens to do. There is no rp.nsnn to believe that Professor Smart, as Mayor, could either control or restrain the Democratic wire pullers who seek to use him to get (, iemsclvcs nt0 power. His work and use would end on election day, and, if successful, his manipulators would thenceforth ride rampan through the treasury, as they have done before. "Professor Smart is not tho only instance where a respectable citizen has loaned his name to a bad causo for the sake ot oüice. Instead ot ruiingtne crowd that use them, all experience shows that such men, after the purpose for which they are nominated is accomplished, are sternly bid to go to tho rear and stay there. If there was any prospect of Professor Smart's election as Mayor, this would bo his fate, but, fortunately for him and the people, he will be saved this indignity and humiliation." Of late the American hog has figured pretty prominently in diplomatic circles, both in Europe and America, and it is gratifying to noie inai ne uas mwnuuncu 1113 position with great credit to himself and to country hrepresent3 It i$ not an ca5V matter to comprehend the vast importance of I the American hog in domestic and foreign commercial afuirs, unless the hgures relating to the subject are brought to the attention of the people.

Assuming that the average gross weight of the hogs to be 300 pounds, we find that the money expended for their purchase by packers amounts to a sum total of $1,750,333,109. It will be noticed that during the six last years the average number of hogs slaughtered was about six times larger than the first six years named, and this fact of the vast growth in the trade in hog products indicates its vast importance, and further indicates that the crown which King Cotton has worn so long and so proudly, and for which wheat and corn is now contending, will have to be surrendered to the American hog to King Hog. BEACONSFIELD. For a number of years there have been in England but two men spoken of with regard to the high office of Premier Beaconsfield and Gladstone. When one was out of office the other was bound to be in office. While both of these distinguished statesmen were equally loyal to British interests, they represented governmental policies radically different. ' Beaconsfield was the representative of a showy statesmanship romantic, Utopian, visionary. The fancies of his youth influenced him in his riper years. But notwithstanding these things, he blended t so much of the practical with the idea that he was able to control this British mind in spite of adverse criticism for years. 1 Gladstone, not less wedded . to British ascendency, not

t.0.;0Wa nf Tiritish dominion, was

more conservative, and, all things consid ered, mav be regarded a3 a better type vi English character. Gladstone can or the people anilca for the -ro,Fnthan was characteristic of Beacomfiel',. TIie allels that will be run between Gladstone and Beaconsfield need not necessarily dwarf either in the estimation of Englishmen or the people of other countries. Gladstone's rival is now dead. His fame is secure. His history is full of romance. His ambition was exalted, his achievements grand, and his success complete. His first efforts to gain position were failures. His first steps in official life were faltering. He gained steadily, however, in public esteem, until finally he strode grandly ahead of all competitors, and stood crowned as a leader of men. whose word influenced the policies of Empires. A London dispatch says that ''Beaconsficld's private papers, which will not see the light until ten years or more aflcr his death, are said to be exceedingly interesting. His political duel with Sir Robert Feel and the inner history of the corn law agitation, the Crimean War, the Indian mutiny, the Berlin treaty and of events preceding it, and other prominent features of English history during the last forty years, are dealt with very fully, an3 a flood of light is thrown upon niany points now wrapped in obscurity or wholly misunderstood. Some say that His Lordship kept a diary and posted it regularly before he went to bed, but of this I am not in a position to speak. It is certain, however, that he kept full notes of all the principal occurrences in the political and fashionable world, and that the revelations which these posthumous papers will make will revolutionize history in many important respects." The Queen was deeply interested in Beaconsfield, and kept herself almost hourly informed of his condition during his illness. There is in all England no one to take his place, no one to fill the void made by his death. He was the Queen's most loyal subject. He fostered her ambition for titles and made her Empress of India. Beaconsfield's funeral will be a grand pageant. He will sleep with the honored dead of England, but his post humous papers' will serve to keep his name before the public somewhat longer than has fallen to the lot of other distinguished Englishmen. Beaconsfield lived to a ripe old age and fulfilled his mission. His death was not unexpected, and as there was little for him to do in this world, there is little occasion for regrets that he has passed on to the other world. TKLEGRAPniC SfAUKS.

WHITE'S GRANDEUR.

How It Impresses Visitors to the Talley The Register and Its Contents. Autographs of Some Distinguished Persona, and Their Views of tbe American, Tourist' Mecca. ISan Francisco Ceronicle.l ,4Yes, the Great Register is the most noted book in California, and one of the most valuable in the world," said John C. Smith to me one evening as I strolled leisnrely into the Cosmopolitan Club Rooms in Yosemite Valley, and inquired after the famous volume. "It cost me $500 before a single name was entered upon its pages, and now that it contains more distinguished autographs and pretty verses about natural scenery than any similar work. in' America it has acquired an interest for tourists scarcely less marked than that which centers around El Capitan or the South Dome." The Great Register was indeed a ponderous volume, which 1 noticed on an elegant stand in one corner of the luxuriously furnished room, and bound in morocco and mounted with rich plates of silver, its exterior at least showed every evidence of unusual wealth. A half dozen tourists were even then engaged in turning over the leaves and adding to the contents, and expressions of approbation mingled with shouts of laughter were at various intervals heard. The pages were apportioned to nearly every State and country in the world. Upon these were names of great warriors, with General Grant at their head; names of distinguished journalists like Whitelaw Reid and John Russell Young; names of eloquent divines, such as Joseph Cook and Theodore Cuyler and Philip Schaff; names of famous jurists, lawyers, authors, statesmen and business men; names of foreign Counts, Earls, Barons and Commanders, with the names of a thousand tourists of lesser renown included indiscriminately between. It was a strange medley of autographs, jokes, verses from the Bible, personal reminiscences and tributes ta.lhe valley, the whole forming a literary curiosityshop with rhymes more numerous than are found in Allibone's "Quotations," and with wit more lively than is found weekly in tne columns of Punch. A few of the more spicy 01 tuese communications are appended, and the same may be taken as characteristic of the whole. Of course the first is a tribute to the beautiful volume itself, written by J. G. Lemon, of Sierra Valley, as follows: "The Grand Register a fitting appurtenance to Yosemite Valley, itself a grand register of the world-forming laws of nature, all set round with unexampled illustrations." Then follows a stanza by John Cod way. of Mariposa; In God's ways and wills There is no ill; Of all his works on land and e&, The grandest Is Yosemite. And a few pages further on is the name of Mrs. M. G. Gillette, of San Francisco, who writes: "Delightful as imagination has pictured the vahey, the reality of the beauty and grandeur of the scenery exceeded all expectation." Hugh Farley, of Sonora, characteristically describes his trip with three suspicious characters in the following laconic words: "I came to the valley with three members of the California Legislature. They never stole anything that I know of. I leave the valley with them, and if El Capitan or South Dome be missed. I don't want tobe implicated. My character has been iretty good, so far, and I hope I have not ost it. I shall never be guilty of the same ndiscretion again." Further on a record runs thus: "A lady fellow-traveler, struck by the constant appearance of El Capitan in the valley, suggested that it recalls the Rabbinical legend, 'The rock that followed them was Christ,' " And another tourist weaves in the various pronunciations of Yosemite: At half-past five o'clock at night, Our party reached the Yo Semite, Glad ere the evening lamps were lit. To see the valley Yo Semite. Who that has seen it can condemn It, The wondrous beauty of Yo Semite? This verse I dedicate to thee. Oh, world-renowned Yo Sem-i-te! Aaron Stein, of San Francisco, writes in a plain, bold hand: "This is my second trip to the Valley, and after a careful study of its varied objects of interest, I am prepared to make affidavit that this is the 'boss show' of California, if not of the world and the rest of mankind;" and R. H. "Ward, of Merced, adds: "Take off your shoes, for the ground upon which yon stand is holy ground." Charles F. Crocker, of San Francisco, affirms that he is "well fed and happy," and the famous author, Jack Hard'away, leaves his autograph with the following: Yosemite, I love thee: but Thou'rt a Rad deceiver, For when I reached the valley I had the chills aud fever. "Will E. English, of Indianapolis, confesses: "I came, I saw, and folded my tent after the approved style of the Arab, and sloped correspondingly. No card.:." II. F. Howe, of Boston, perpetrates the "Finafore" line: "Did you ever see such scenery? Never," etc.; and Milton Fish, of New York, simply ejaculates: "Oh! oh! oh! 0-0-0!" William Morns, Jr., of London, writes: "Left England in February, 1874, have traveled through Australia, India, China, Japan and California, 33,000 miles in all, but nowhere have I seen grander sublimity than in this valley;" and W. R. McQuade, of Tulare Connty: "If any man has too high an appreciation of himself, Iiis powers and station, let him climb to the summit of Cloud's Rest, and then compare his stature and powers with tin mighty efforts of Nature around him." Stewart Orr, San Jose, writes "Let all who enter here have plenty of money;" Ida Meacham. of Nevada. "Here is the garden of the Gods. I have only one regret that I can not stay here always;" Silas Wright Geis, of Merced. "Don't come to the valley with a baby and expect to enjoy yourself;" A. Turnin, of San Jose, "Saw the Bridal Veil and slept next to the man who snores;" while C. W. Cheny expresses his untold misery in the two simple words, "dead broke;" A. Flint simply adds, ' I leave "my hard but modest name;" M. L. Hall, of St. Louis. "Took it all in;" G. R. Reynolds, of Cincinnati, "Financially defunct but how happy;" L. L. Davis, of New York, "Procul, O pro'cul este profani." The distinguished Rev. Joseph Cook, of Boston, adds "The Yosemite Doxology," in the following: The hills of God support the skies. To God let adoration rise; Iet hills and skies aud heavenly host Praise Father, Hon and Holy Ghost. And Rev. Theodore Cuyler of Brooklyn, N. Y., quotes. "The earth is the Lord's and tho fullness thereof." The names of U. S. Grant and wife are registered without remarks: also the names of the late Judge Paingerfield, of San Francisco; Dr. Philip SchaiF, of New York; Professor Daniel Gilman, of the Johns Hopkins University; General John F. Miller, of San Francisco; Professor A. L. Fowler, the Boston Phrenologist; Benjamin F. Taylor, author of "Between the Gates"; John Russell Young, of the New York Herald, and Whitelaw Reid, of the New York Tribune. Miss Minnie Raine of Baltimore, exclaims: "Let me embrace thee, beautiful valley. A kiss to thee." Miss Jennie Cook, of 8an Francisco: 'Any one who can do the valley with pretty cirls is in daneer." Miss Mary McDougal, of Merced: "There is nothing half so sweet in life as love's young dream." Miss May Cox, of New Orleans: "instead of 'see Naples and die' see Yocsmite and live." Miss Maggie Hall, of Oakland says she is "blissfully happy. ' Colonel Warren, editor of the California Farmer, writes: The natural eye looks up to find the source Whence sprang these mighty torrents In their course, And there, on pine-clad summit near the sky, Man's higher nature reads Divinity. Under the heading of New Hampshire R. C. Scott writes: "The Granite State sends greeting to El Capitan and all the massive granite cliffs and domes of the Yosemite"; and among the pages of names under Massachusetts the prettiest tribute is this: "Plymouth Rock to the rocks of the Yosemite, which in their grandeur illustrate he sublime events and principles of which it is itself a symbol, greeting." An equestrian, Who had evidently ridden to the Vernal

Falls, says: "God made the mountains but man made the saddles." Here is a verse to Tis-sa-ack or the South Dome: Tls-sa-ack's caught the horned moon, An holds it pendent in the air. Where calm its silver shallop rests, By airy sailors anchored there. Time travels gray-browed o'er each hight, And holds his scroll against the sun. And says, "Come view my heaven-bm might.

auu oat, my air eugeu chisel s done. Dr. J. Harte: F. Adams, of Boston, imitates Bret While I Wish to rpmnrlr And my language is tlain, That I've been to Claik's And I won't go aain. An Ohio tourist exclaims: "Great and glorioüsareThy works, Lord God Altnuditv!" and another: "Like the wonders exhibited to King Solomon by the Queen of Slu-ha, the half had not been told nie of Yosemite;" and still another, in the same train: "Oh," that men would praise the Lord for lilis mighty works; if earth be so grand and" majestic, what must Heaven be, where God ami the angels dwell?'' Foreigners, for the most part, sign their names without remarks. A few notable exceptions, however, occur, and the following are quoted: Alex de Perwinaff, f Moscow, Russia, praises the Cosmopolitan Club Rooms in both English and Russian, and Louis Lockstoedr, of Berlin, writes: "We found here everyihing that soul and body require. It satisfies those who have heart and good health." Count Jos Tule, of Austria-Hungary, writes ids simple name; Commander Chinsr, of the Homi! Navy, is "delighted with the vallev;" Matteo Schilizzi, of Italy, says: "America ought to produce a Michael Ancrelo to mint the view from Glacier Point;" WilliamYox, of New Zealand. "Yosemite is Switzeiland minus its mountains, but verv fine notwithstanding;" Samuel Carrington, C. E. of India, "Yosemite beats all scenery in the world;" F. W. Stanford of Australia, "I lind America is the dertyest country in the world, and wish most earnestly that I was safelv back in my native land;" John W.

The Grand Register is not yet filled with names and verses. There is still space sufficient for the great and illustrious of the world. But John C. Smith should himself be a public censor, a man of accurate inception and clever parts, whose care it should be to protect this famous volume from vandal hands, and who should restrain the average tourist within reasonable bounds in signing his name and adding remarks. Only that should b written which is wise or witty or worthy of perpetuation, and it is to be hoped that this Register of illustrious personages and those of lesser renown will grow in value and interest until its fame has become coexistent with that of Yosemite itself. Among the Dives. O'ew York Graphic!" "The dives about this quarter are dying out," said Captain Tynan the other ni'ght, at the Fourth Precinct Oak Street Siytion. "It's now very different as compared with the condition of things twenty-live years ago. Then the Black Ball and other packet lines kept up the danao houses. Steamers and short voyages are bad for that business. And, as in everything else, the drift is up town. There has been seen within the last few months what was not seen before in New York, and that is, the sailor man wandering far up town in quctt of a place to sj end his money." And after much other interesting talk and information from Captain Tynan, he committed me to Otliccr Kenovan's charge, and we went out to survey the dives of the Fourth Precinct. Now, in my callow yonthdom.many years ago, I was familiar with the di ves in this lo- ) cality. I lived then very near them, and mv principal object in getting the attendance of an officer last Wednesday night was tolearn as much as possible iu as short a time as possible regarding the changes in the haunts of low life witl un the last 150 years. 'That is, it seemed 150 years tome. Computed mathematically, it is but twenty live or thirty years. Time is merely a relative quality, or rather a sensation. One man may live a century in ten years; another may net live six months in the same time. Spirit uallj. I feel 130 years old, exactly. What I mean by the word "spiritually" I can't explain. It's a feeling a sensation. You couldn't tell a man who had never seen a certain color, say black, what black was. Well, that's what I mean in this connection. Let us dine. "This is White's Free and Easy," said the officer. We entered, passed a bar, then a sort of ante-room, and finally emerged into a long, narrow hall with tables at the side A "free and easy." Two young men were singing for the amusement of the company. Thev were followed by two others. Then" a small boy made a creditable effort of the Pat Rooncy song and dance order. All the ballads weresentiniental.nnd largely dashed Willi the flavor of Erin's Green Isle. Not a coarse word or vulgar suggestion was heard. When the performers had finished the singers resumed their places on the floor as waiters, walking up and down the hall. Theirs was a restless, uneasy gn it, occasionally varied with the cry of " Boer, gents?" These are of the stock which develops clog dancers, pugilists and variety performers. Here commence the song-and-dance men. These are their training schools. -Some of them will become distinguished in their respective lines. "What are their ch&nces of success?" I asked of Kenovan. "Oh, they'll do well enough," said he. "Their greatest risk lies in rum. A good many of them get to drinking and then it's all up with them." It was a very orderly assemblage. Daring the singing a louder laugh or word than usual from the audience wasquickly checked by the cry of ;Ordcr!" It came from a stout, almost burly young man, sitting near me, smoking a cigar, who. without any ostensible pretense of watching, seemed to have an eye for everything transpiring in that room. I was interested in him. i looked at his fists. They were engines of destruction. I regarded "his shoulders and arms. I beheld In them splendid capacities for firing out a man, or even two men at once, should necessity require. There scenic J to me something contradictory in calling this a "free and easy" whi'.e'that young man sat there checking every, outburst with those hands nnd arms ready for action. "The nights for business," said Olficer Kenovan, as we wont into the dark, damp si reet. "are Saturdays and Mondays. The patrons then spend all their money. There's little left for the rest of the week. Come in here. This is one of the old-time dives." The dance hall was a repetition of nil hereabout. A small narrow hall, well lighted, benches at the side, bar at the end and a piano and violin in active operation. Seated on a bench at one side six burly, bloated, painted women, whose dresses below terminated at the knee, and above had little ambition to climb higher than the arm pits. They were indeed of the earth, very earthy; of the coarse, the coarsest; of beer, very beery; of Water street, wat?rj They turned and surveyed us curiously as wc entered. They knew' the ollicer and knew they were on exhibition. "Fim lot of old chromes, aint t they?" remarked Ollicer Kenovan. Mr. Kenovan is not loquacious, but he talks to the point. The seventh chromo was dancing a jig with a young man. It was a lively performance and entered into by both parties with zest and vigor. There was a touch of the Mabillc and the can-can in the movements of the young man, whose attire was in point of neatness and decorous arrangement quite free from preciseness. In time

with his movement he flourished a very old umbrella, whose handle was broken. Of "chromos," musicians and the aged woman who kept the house, there were eleven in all to carry on business. "There's the only customer, ""said Kenovan, pointing to a sober-looking, middle-aged sailor sitting in silence by the side of a "chromo." He seemed in the last stages of reticence or stupidity. He kept his eyes downcast during our stay, and never even changed his posi ti- n .More signs of life were evident at the next "free and easy" we entered. A crowd occupied the iloor fronting the bar. A verv fat young man. whose trousers attracted nie by reason of their bagginess, was twanging a banjo and singing ' In the morning by the bright light." Another exceedingly active young man, in red clogs, was dancing "In the morning by the bright light." lie was talented as to legs. His jerformance was of no inferior order. Several others joined "In the morning by the bright light," as the spirit moved. It was really enjoyable, lively ' and inspiring. Every one of those participating were but parts of the business, the mechanism of the shop, placed there for the purpose of inciting trade. There seemed but one subject present to be utilized a semi-drunken young man apparently, from the cut of Iiis jib, the mate of a schooner, because there aie certain almost indefinable points in sailor men whereby their standing can at least be guessed at. lie was in that happy slagc of drink wherein he knew not or cared not how 11 this previously planned appearance of jollity was carried out. He staggered around occasionally in a vain attempt to keep time with the business dancer of the "free and ea?y" and eventually terminated a zigzag career at the bar and called for drinks. The aim and end of the "free and easv," for the time being, was accomplished. The entire force of hangers-on about the establishment moved in a body to the bar and drank a', the schooner mate's expense. The music and dancing suspended momentarily, while the only bonanza present was being tapped. The genuine sailor was happy. The barkeeper, proprietor and attaches were happy. Everybody was happy. It was just then a little heaven on earth. Prentice Mclfobd.

Brain-Work, and Sleep. The Family Physician. So long as the brain-worker is able to sleep well, to eat well and to take a fan propor-. lion of outdoor exercise, it is not necessary to impose any special limits on the actual number of hours he devotes to his labors. But when what is generally known as worry steps into complicate matters, when cares connected with family arrangements, or with those numerous personal details which we can seldom escape, intervene, or when the daily occupation of life is in itself a fertile source of anxiety then ve find one or other of these three safeguards broken down. Probably the man of business or the successful lawyer fails to shake himself free from his anxieties at night, avd slumber becomes fitful or disturbed. The nervous system, unsettled by the mental strain, brings about various defects in nutrition; the appetite fails, and then wc meet with the sleeplessness, the dyspepsia, the irresolution, the irritability and the depression which are the chief miseries of the overworked. The great hing m these cases is to get a rest at any cost. By rest we do not mean doing nothing, but rather change of scene, of thought and occupation. If you tell a busy man that he must do nothing, he will endeavor to obey you, but he will som find out that he can not, for his brain keeps on working in the same old groove, and he is as much, or even more, worried about his business as if he were still in the thick of it. The great thing is to get a rest by substituting one kind of work by another. to have for a time a nice, comfortable sort of occupation to repiace the old weary round of troubles. One of the most important remedial agents is outdoor life and exercise, which may be taken in any form most congenial to'the individual riding, walking, field sports, or what not. This is at once the most natural and often the most effectual promoter of sleep we can employ. Active bodily exertion is well known to be incompatible with the maximum of in tellectual work, and full advantage should be taken of this fact. The only thing to avoid is excessive fatigue. It is a remarkable fact that a very large number of distin guished literary and scientific man have suffered severely from megrim, and it would seem that some of them have succeeded in ridding themselves of the malady by the adoption of some simple hygienic measure. One, for instance, cured himself by following the prescription of a farmer, who advised him to drink water, cat little and take exercise. Anotlner was cured by drinking every day a large q-antityof freshwater, and exchanging a highly nutritious regimen for i much liglner dietary. A third got rid of his old enenij' by the same means, and by taking exercise every day before dinner. There can be no doubt that in many cases great benefitwould be derived from a thorough change of locality or climate. Long sea voyages are not unfrequently attended with excellent results, the attacks being absent for months at a time. Unfortunately these are remedies not within the reach of all. The Itorannce of a Tramp. Washington Correspondence Hardord Times. During the Centennial year, among the thousands of persons who went through the Centennial building one day in July was a tramp named George . As he was passing down the steps, after an insjection of the building, he stumbled and fell, breaking his aim. A Capitol policeman picked him up, and after preparing a cot sent for a surgeon, who set the arm. This, over, the tramp asked the privilege of sitting around in the Capitol Park until he got strong enough to go about again, saying he had no money, and knew that habitual loungers were liable to arrest on a charge of vagrancy. The desired privilege was granted; and, in addition, an arrangement was made by which he was given a comfortable sleeping-place in the building. The officer also managed to bring enough food from his boarding-house to supply him. In about two weeks the tramp gave notice that he would start West, lie was exceedingly thankful for the kindness shown him by the officer, and said if he ever got half a chance he would endeavor to repay it. The tramp met a Centennial tourist, from Salt Lake City, who happened to know his father. After talking the tourist offered to take hira West, if he wanted to go. The offer was accepted, and the Capitol policeman, Arthur Thomas, went to the depot with them and bade them good-by. Now let four years pass, and the rest of the story comes in. Arthur Thomas, who was a Capitol policeman in 1SC7, is now, and has been for more than a year, Secretary of Utalv,Territory, having been appointed by President Hayes on the recommendation of a number of l'eading men, Republicans and Democrats. Some weeks since a man named George entered Mr. Thomas' office in Salt Lake to ascertain something about the boundaries and survey of certain mineral lands. They recognized each other, and had a long talk. The tramp had prospered. Besides having a wife, he can draw and have honored his check for $100,t00. Everything he has touched since he has been in the Territory has turned into money, one way or another. The cx-policeman and .the ex-tramp can be seen strolling or driving about Salt Lake any afternoon, and the wives of each are equally inseperable. The New Theory of Manslaughter. San Francisco Postl This morning the lud report of a pistol was heard on Market street, near the City Hall, followed by a yell of agony. Encouraged by the hope that a Supervisor had been wiped out, the bystanders hurried joyfully to the sot, where the murderer stood over the body of his victim, carefully polishing his pistol preparatory to reloading the empty chamber. "1 arrest you for the murder of this man," said a policeman, lushing uo and seizing the shooter by the arm. "Stand hack, fellow!" exclaimed the marksman, haughtily. "Do you not know who I am? 1 am No. 41 G3." The officer took from his pocket his official list of citizens provided with legal certificates of intermittent emotional insanity, and turned to the number mentioned. "What name?" he asked. "Gufferson." "Ail 0. K." said the policeman, respectfully. "You see this isn't niy regular beat. You must excuse me, sir." "Very well," said the shootist, sternly, as he walked off; "but don't let it occur again."
