What a tsTramp" Says.

The London Star says:-"We have received
letter on the subject of the accommodation
offered TO the wandering poor throughout the
country from correspondent who to use his
own words, has, during the past three monlhs,
been 0n a tour OF inspection into the various
tramp wards between London, Birmingham,
Manchester, Preston, and back to London
Most OF these wards, it appears are still very
badly managed. The nearer says the writer
and we give his own spelling as well as his own
words-'the poor artisan (yagrant he Is styled
in the printed form given him for admission)

submit to. For instance, Knutsford In Che.
shire, near Lord de Tabley's mansion, and
other magnates, l was locked up In the tramp
ward between six and seven in the evening.
There was no bread or anything else for supper,
not even drink of water, and was told there
was no breakfast the folio wing morning. The
place had not been even swept out L should

Gossip from Rome-.-A New Saint.

The Rome correspondent of the Pau Ma
GOzeHe says:-
Nothing is now talked of at Rome but the
Lew saint, Maria Taigi, a wa'herwoman in the
service of the Chigi family, who died here in
1887, in the odor of sanctity. A great sensation
were con6ded TO her confessor, Father Natali,
now ninety years OF age, who has faithfully
related them as the events successfully hap.
pened. The proofs of her present residence in
heaven are tncontestable, though her body is
still on earth, having been eXhumed from the
catacomb of the church of st. Chrysogen in
Irastevere. The corpse was found perfectly
fresh and flexible, and is now exposed in q
chapel ardeute, raised at the expense of the
Princess Barberini, in the aforesaid church,
where everybody IN Rome, with the exception
OF myself, has kissed its feet. The exhumation
was ordered on the demand OF the Postulator
for her canonlzatlon, on his adducing the
proofs of her beatitude, which state among
other wonders, that her image was sent TO the
Capitol last October, with an intimation that
the building was threatened by great danger,
which nothing but this palladium could avert.
The next day brought the insurrectonary
attack, at the time supposed 10 have been re-
pulsed by the troops, but now admitted to have
been folled by the miraculous image.
''The Marquis Cavalett senator of Rome, Is
determined to commemorate this event in
care; and he has ordered it to be repre- sented in
picture, which will be placed in one of the
galleries. The other day the confessor was
asked whether Maria Taig prophesled any
further danger from the GaribaldiaDs. Yes ;
he answered, and in those days we shall see the
Tiber as full OF corpses as 1t now is of fish, At
this moment fish are so abundant in the Tiber,
Romans pick them out of the water with their
hands,n

be so rich in treasure cost its present owner one
hundred and twenty-five dollars for some two

half the purchase-money. He says there are

correspondent of the Boston journal writes
from Mount Desert, Maine:-
'About mile and half from our camp
party OF men are engaged in digging for trea-
sures' under the direction of two spiritualistlc
mediums They have been working at it all
summer, and the man who owns the land, and
is to have one-fourih of all that IS found as his
share of the proceeds, tells me that in about
two weeks there will be Developments that will
astonish the world. he was an un6elieyer at

dihons are buried among the ledges Ct his
farm. The mediums have told the diggers
that there are twelve rooms, elaborately fin

stolen by Kidd and his companions, and the
owner OF the land has spent considerable time in
trying to convince US that common trap LEDGE
smoothly worn by glacial action, is the roof OF
polished marble. The spirit who speaks through
the mediums purports to belong to one OF Kidd's
companions, and he exhorts the men who are
digging TO make good use OF whatever they may
find. They have spent the summer IN making
the excavations which they expect will lead
them to independent fortunes, and if they are

PAYING THE TEAcHERs.-The action taken
by 'he City Councils on Monday night indi-
estes that our school teachers will be paid and
that they will not only get indemnify for the
past but security for the fut ure"-that IL TO
say, 1t is proposed to so arrange It that the
'eacners snail receive their pay monthly here
after without fail
Elsewh here, We see, that the school teachers
are IN tribHlation. In New York city the
teachers of the public schools have not been
paid for their last months services and will.
not be paid again until January, 1850. IL seems
the appropriation for teachers salaries has
long sinee been exhausted, having already
been oyerdrawn to the amount of St55.O0
which has be- paid 10 the teachers this year
IN anticipation of the city tax levy As the
Governor has not yet signed that instrument
the Comptroller says he will pay no more SAL
aries to teachers until he does so: hence the
Board of Education must raise money by
borrowing. or close the public schools. The
amount appropriated for educational purposes
for the present year in New York is the snug
sum of S2,9oC,0Oo.
