The Migrants and vagabonds, snesk
thieves and craftsmen, garroters and
confidence men, and bad characters
generally, are having bad time of il
now. Some of the more unfortunate
have been assigned to duty on the chain
gang, and now improve the shining hours
by learning the lesson of life, which hath
moral something like this-"the way
of the transgressor is hard. They do
not forget, meanwhile, to improve the
condition Of the Nicolson pavement,
and thus the overburdened taxpayer is
benefited BY the indiscretions of such OF
our guests as come under the ban Of the
police. A few more were added to the
number already doing duty this morning,
and we shall soon see very respectable
gang, for these confidence men generally
dress we'll.

times he would assume to be poor and
visit his friends ostensibly for the pur-
pose of disposing by barter of some ex.

as selling books and with him It was but

NRw YORK, November 1.-The horse
epidemic appears to have reached
crisis, and to be now decreasing. The
number OF new cases reported are grad
ually becoming less, but large proper
ton OF affected animals are still danger
ously sick. The general traffic Of the
city has greatly recovered within the
last two days. and stage and street rail-
road travel has partially resumed. The
veterinary surgeons also report a slight
improvement in Brooklyn among the
horses affected with the disease. In
Jersey City and adjacent districts the
disease appears TO be only developing,
aud is committing great havoc.
The coming Presidential contest be-
gins to absorb the attention of the press,
The Times, this morning, again places
before the public the effect that Gree
ley's election would have on the eOun-
try. asserting that it would make business
uncertain and would involve consider
able danger Of foreign complications
and be fatal to the civil service reform; ;
and that it would be Substantially the
installation Of the Democratic party.
1t expresses the utmost con6dence in
the result of the election.
The Tribune reproduces the Cincin-
natl address and platform. EditoriAiiy,
it claims that the unexpected and for

ment over all the country sufficiently
demonstrates the wisdom Of the oincin-
natl Convention. 1t again asserts that
the Liberal party will be true to the he
publican party, and appeals to all
thoughtful and conscientious Republl-
cans to assist in the coming contest

Gratis to unite in the support OF Greeley,

CHICAGO.


CHICAGO, November 1.-The horse
endemic seems to De rapidly spreading
here. In four days one thousand horses
have been attacked, and there is little
doubt that the disease will be general
throughout the city in a few hours from
the preseat writing. So far the disease
has shown itself in mild form, Many
Of the horses suffering from il are still
at work, and might have been seen on
the streets yesterday. The major por-
ton of those that have been relieved
from duty are already recovering, owing
to the prompt and sagacious treat
ment. Should this be general the
fear of a total interruption of business
need not be entertained The dura-
ton of the disease appears to vary
in proportion to the promptitude with
which ii is met. There are some 700
horses used on the South Side street
railroad; 300 of them were slightly at
tackled With the distemper, and ore now
convalescent. Twenty-Five others are
now suffering under mild attack, which
creates no alarm among the managers
None of those tina. have been sick had
a relapse. While no serious Interrupt
ton Of travel is apprehended, the COM
pany are prepared to substitute dunn
mics for horse flesh as motive power,
provided permission to use them is
granted by the city authorities. None
Of the street railroads or omnibus lines
are in the least interrupted by the dis
ease.
A company Of colored tanners got into
row last night with car driver, be-
cause he tried to pass through their
ranks, and handled him severely. The
police who interfered were also badly
treated, and compelled to retreat without
making an arrest.
A destructive FIRE occurred about mid
night on North Clinton street, in the
building owned by the old Mechanical
Bakery Co., and was leased by Hoffman
4 Gridley, grain commission merchants.
1t was worth probably $4,000, and dam
aged to the extent Of about $4,000. Hoff
man & Gridley occupied the entire
fourth floor as a storage warehouse, and
the first floor Of Nc. ~ as an Office. They
had in store about 5000 bushels Of oats
which together with their fixtures are
valued at about $500; Insurance $500

FARTHER Particulars of the steam

NEw YoRK, November l.-Further de-
tails Of the Missouri disaster state that
when the FIRE was FIRST discovered it was
in the pantry. The pantrymen put car
pets on it, and it vas reported to the
passengers that the Ere vas ont, qliet-
ing their fears and causing general con
fdence Within two minutes several
voices screamed from the deck that the
vessel was on fire, causing The greatesi
confusion. In two minutes three boats
we're launched, but neither food nor
water placed in the boats, and only three
oars. Two other boats we're svamped,
and the ife-boat was burned. The his.
souri's engines were stopped, but her
sails remained spread. When last seen,
Captain Green and Purser Hampstead,
Of the crew were trying 10 get Od the
lee boat, surrounded By smoke and
flames. The probability Of any Of The
passengers having been picked up bJ
passing steamers is small, as the storm
probably drove ali vessels out Of tn
usual course.

Trade MARKS.-Every person, or
firm. doing business, no matter of what
kind or nature, so long as it is honora-
bic, should have a trade mark. Itserves
as an advertisement, and the first mere
nominal cost is trifie. The trade mark
is a distinction, which cannot be imi-
tated, as the law protects it. Ameri-
cans, who excel in the manufacture of
certain classes of goods, and place their
goods in European markets, soon dis
cover that they are not only in COMPETE
ton with the best makers of the same
line of goods, but find that their trade
mark protects them from imitation and
counterfeit. Ingenuity can be called
into exercise by the use of trade marks.
Some use an almost indescribable mon
ogram; others are eccentric or unique
ones, but the most appropriate Is th9
concentration of aptitude for the espeel3I
business in which parties are eng'tgeu,

The Fading Fall.

The signing, sobbing, sad south wind
Plays on my peaceful, placid brow,
As DER the dim and distant days
Ofyears OF yore Iinger now.
The pitiless and peltlng rain,
Drips from the dark and dingy caves.
And, splashing in the puddles, plays
AT hide and hunt with homeless leaves.
A red-brown robin bows beneath
The grass-grown ground sill OF my door,
But sings no more his low, sweet song
Ofshimmering sunshine as Of yore.
The barn-yard brutes the burdened day
Endure, as down the drowsy west
The sombre sun, with face unseen,
Sinks slowly 10 his saddened rest.
A hurried horseman halts beside
The sodden stile and shakes his cloak,
DismOunts and throws the tangled rein
Around drenehed and dropping oak.
The chickens caekle at the crows;
The crows cav round the Cabling geese;
bleating lambkin blunders by
rThe half-drowned dam with dripping fleece
Indoors the deepening darkness drags
It's lazy length upon the walls,
While glimmering CLEANS Of glowering glare
Gloam through the lamp-light in the hall.
Grim blaekness broods about my bed,
And settles In the silent air;
slam the shutters in the gloom,
And enddle in my coy chair
Sweet silence soOthes the sad south wind,
And lulls TO sleep the sobblng storm.
BY lone heart yearns for years OF yore
And many merry-making form.
And as they nit before my face,
The dear, dead darlings OF the past,
The sad south wind a solace rings
That promises sweet peace at last.

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.-A wild
Nashville man thus writes up this sim
gular fellow: ''HhOse who have not seen
him ask what he is like. He is like
everything. He's q simeon from India
gentle zephar from the downs of De
Won; a whirlpool off the coast of Nor
way-an eddy in a New England trout
brook; n tornado from the plains of
Texas-a soothing, summer breeze from
the hop yards of MiIaesota; an inear-
nate edenuneiation-am merciless sweeping
Iconoclast; n miserin praise-a prodigal
in abuse; a modern reversed atlas, who
stands on, instead of carrying the
world; an Over-pOwering egotist,
without vanity; the very tightening
bug of possible reformations; the Mod
ern Hercules, who undertakes the job of
cleaning the Augean stables of society,
government, religion, morals, laws,
physic, educatiOn-everything. He's
the credit AIObilier; the credit financier;
the prospective seXtillionaire-the next
President of the United States; the en-
bodiment of international; huge syn
dicate; a 6Idse traveller, who has seen
this little world, and who aspires to a
jaunt over Saturn and adjacent planets.
He's the chain-lightning orator of the
new dispensation; he's the reckless bull
in the China shop of the world; he's a
RochefOrt on large scale; little Com
mune all by himself; he's a self-wind-
ing machine, continually throwing off
intellectual hyrOtechnics, and scatter
ing them broadcast over the world; he's
a human mower and reaper-mOwing
down lin his Imagination follies and
errors, blunders and iniquities, and
reaping all the fame that comes from
the improvements time works in its
natural course; he is, in fact-Train, and
nothing but Train; the only Train, who
when dead, can never have an imita-
tori
