A Wealthy Tramp.

A Kansas City paper says that as Mr..
Anthony Matheny was coming in from
his work on the Midland road, he over
took an old man near the four mile
bridge, in the Kaw bottoms. He ap-
peared to be staggering along under the
influence Of liquor, and, from his ragged
and dirty condition, Matheney at once
came to the conclusion that the old fell
low was tramping pauper coming into
Kansas City for relief. He passed by
him without speaking, and thought no
more about it. Next day, when he
started back to his work, he was some
what surprised to find the old man lying
upon the side of the railroad track, in o
helpless and apparently dying condi-
ton. He approached him, and on in,
quiry found that he was quite sick, and
had been lying out in the open air all
night, and was unable to walk. He gave
his name as Angus McGregor, and that
he was on his way from Fort Dodge to
Kansas City. Mr.. Matheney came in
and procured the assistance of an ex-
press driver, and brought the old man
to his house near the water works, and
left him with his wife. He maintained
stolid silence until night, but ate a
hearty meal, thus showing that it was O
want of food rather than sickness which
had caused him to fall by the wayside.
But he was too far gone for food to re-
vive him at once, and when night came
on he was dangerously ill, so i'll that
medical aid was deemed necessary.
When he was offered bed he declined
it, and positively refused to take off or
allow his dirty rags to be taken off his
body.
He slept upon q blanket on the floor,
and under no persuasion would he take
off his boots. The old man being un-
able to help himself, however, gave up
and ordered his boots taken off. To the
surprise of every one present, he took
from his boots between two and three
thousand dollars in greenbacks, nicely
wrapped up in oil paper, and used as
pads for his sore and blistered feet.
In explanation. the old man said he
had been soldier in the United States
army for the last twenty years had
served in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona
and Colorado. He had recently been
discharged from McKenzie's regiment,
in Arizona, and started from Fort
Dodge, Kan, about two weeks ago, to
walk to Kansas City. He says he is
going home TO Glasgow, Scotland, and
that he has been afraid of being robbed
on his way home. He is close and pc.
nurious, and says he could not afford to
pay SO much for railroad fares. He was,
after great difficulty, persuaded to de-
'posit his long-hoarded wealth, and take
drafts OH New York for the amount de-
posted. He is very suspicious, and un-
usually reticent about his own affairs.
He paid Matheney literally for the care
bestowed. upon him, and proposes to
continue his journey east as soon as his
health will permit him to move.

A Couple Of Monkeys,

In Paris quite commotion was
created by the entrance of very singu-
lar party. 1t consisted of two tiny cava-
iers mounted upon exquisite little
ponies. One of these small riders was
a / andsome boy about seven years of
age, and the other was large monkey
strapped to the saddle of his steed. A
servant in livery followed on horseback
at the distance prescribed by etiquette.
Finding that this strange cortege was
attracting crowd, the police interfered,
and the young gentleman and his COM
panion were forced to return home. On
inquiry being made it was found that
the boy was the only son of Portu-
guese count, at present residing in Paris,
s terribly spoiled child, to whom his
parents can refuse nothing. Conse-
quently, when he took it into his head
to take his monkey, which is his special
pet and companion, out riding with him,
he found no one bold enough to oppose
his whims. That duty was reserved for
the police.

Brutal Keepers.

There seems to be very little doubt
that the unfortunate man Connolly, who
died Mt the New York penitentiary, was
to all intents and purposes murdered
by his keepers. His legs and the lower
part OF his body were covered with livid
bruises, and one Of his great toe nails
was torn off. 1t is plain that injuries of
this kind could not have been caused by
succession of accidental falls, as pre-
tended by the deputy warden. Keeper
Fallon declares that Connolly was sub
jected to the most brutal treatment by
keepers Geary, Reese and others, and
testities specifically to number of out
RACES committed upon the unfortunate
prisoner, which are revQlting to every
sense of humanity. The fact that the
victim was half-witted, if not positively
an idiot, deprives his murderers of the
last semblance of an excuse for their
brutality. The commissioners of chari-
ties and correction must investigate
this case thoroughly, and take care that
the guilty are punished. 1t is not the
first case of the kind which has occurred
Keepers of an inferior class think that
the only way to keep the outlaws in their
charge under subjection is to make an
example of some feeble prisoner who is
unable to defend himself. BY beating
and overworking man of this kind they
hope to intimidate more unruly and un-
manageable prisoners. This process
they call ''tmaking q market of man. I"
their theory is. of course, founded on
the grossest ignorance of human nature
and naturally brutal disposition. In
discriminate tyranny incites men to re-
volt, and if ever a general uprising
should occur among the Blackwell's s
Island convicts, we shall not have far. to
look for the cause.

Would Certainly be Called.

1t was the same old lady who was seen
walking up and down the street in Vicks-
burg while the boat was taking on
freight. She was ticketed for New
Orleans, and the first night aboard the
boat she opened her stateroom door
just before retiring, stuck her nose out
and yelled
"Capting!" capting"
What's wanted, madam" inquired
that official as he approached the door.
"I'm n lone woman, capting, rs you
well KNOW" she squeaked, "and if this
boat blows up I depend on you to call
me :"
He agreed, and she slept soundly and
peacefully.

Women as Voters.

A gentleman from Cheyenne, Wyo-
ming Territory, who has devoted some
time to gathering the details, gives us
the following interesting facts on the
practical workings of woman suffrage in
the Territory
The most interesting facts are in re-
gard to ladies rs jurors. Good and evil
are strangely mingled in the new Terri
tories, and Wyoming contains large
proportion of intelligent and eminently
religious and good women; it was
hoped, therefore, that great good would
result from placing them on juries.
After few trials, however, the system
was quietly abandoned, and has never
been revived. The reasons for this are
many. First is the fact that so few
women are eligible. The following
classes are, from the necessity of the
case, exempt: All nursing mothers !; all
approaching a condition of maternity
all the delicate, nervous, or hysterical ;
all who from temporary physical condi-
tion are not fit for sitting on long trial
all of notoriously bad character, and all
who are exempt from the same causes
that men would be. These classes in
clude nine-tcnths of the whole sex.
When to these are added those who have
sick or very young children, who need
frequent care, it seems that all Wyoming
has no more than n hundred women, at
any time, fit for jury duty. The system,
therefore, was given up, not as failure
exactly, but as utterly impracticable.
Another difficulty presented itself.
When jury, consisting of men and
women, Give of the latter, was long de-
tanned and locked up for several hours,
the resulting Inconvenience was so great,
and the expense so much increased, that
both sexes were heartily sick of the ex-
pertinent. The general result is said to
be that both the friends and foes of
woman suffrage are disappointed, as
neither the good nor the evil predicted
has come to pass. One good is claimed
that there is better order at the polls
than formerly. If any other benefit has
resulted, it is not apparent yet. Some
complain that the cost of running for
office has vastly increased, as the candi-
dates have to bring out their lady sup
porters in carriage but the ladies, in
their convention few weeks since unani-
mously resolved against it, declaring
themselves Gas able to walk to the polls
have resulted from challenging the votes

challenged ut Laramie dropped her bal
lot and indulged in good cry, where.
upon her escort sailed in and made il
hot for her challenger. After a few
fights on this subject challenging laGies
was, by common consent, discontinued,
and in that particular at least they have
un advantage OF the men.
As to the effect of suffrage on the
ladies' there are almost as many opinions
as there are people in Wyoming. The
majority, however, declare themselves
unable to see any change. AS far rs
can be known the ladies divide theil
vote between parties much rs men do,
rather more, perhaps, voting for per
sonal friends. To sum up, the opinion
of the best informed is that woman suf
frage in Wyoming has resulted in max
ing everything just rs it was before
only little more SO.

During the prevalence of the recent
flood on the Wabash river in Indiana,
two young men were carried away by
the water, and were saved from drown
ing only by climbing .up on the limbs of
an overturned tree which had stuck in n
narrow chapnel. Here they clung for
day and Il half. When they were taken
off, they passed the following night at
a house where twenty-four families were
quartered.

The Reapers.

cYI-gT = 1he heaperS."
The reapers bend their lusty backs; e-
Their sounding sickles sway
AT every stroke the golden sea
q p iRecedes to give them way,
e The heavy ears fall bowling down, @Fs'',
And nestle at their feet.
Such will such work, as theirs perforce
Must win-must homage meet.
So careless Of fatisuss they go, .>,--.
So true, 30 steadily,
The admiring traveller on the road
Leans DER the gate to sec;
With marvel Of the soon-fallen breadth
The lounging gossips tell;
But the reapers labor for US all;
'Tis need they should work we'll.
Ere the great sun that burns above
Shall crimson in the west,
And the cAildren's poppy nosegays fade,
And they lie down to rest,
Each golden spear that upward points
Shall fall upon the field,
And the farmer drain a sparkling glass,
Rejoicing o'orthe field.
Ply, bonny mon, your sickles bright,
And give the people bread
AT overy conquoring stride you take
On want and woe you tread.
Drop, heavy ears and give the strength
You gathered from the plain,
That men may rise refreshed and firm,
And do great things again! g.
God bless the hands, all hard and brown,
That guide the cleaving plow,
That cast abroad the shining seed,
And build the wealthy NOW!
They rear the bread our children eat
"Tis by their toll we live;
Hurrah! give them the loudest cheer
That grateful hearts can give!

Mirth Changed to Nonrning.

A dispatch from Minneapolis, Mimi,
says "Barnum's hippodrome exhib-
tied here to immense crowds to-day.
Over 10000 people were present. At
about the middle of the afternoon enter
tainment, Manager Whitaker read a
dispatch announcing the discovery of
Grimwood's body on the Michigan
beach. The vast multitude was hushed
as if by death during the reading, and at
its close the excitement knew no bounds.
Among the actors and attaches, more
especially, the sad intelligence of the
certain loss of the young journalist and
their comrade, Donaldson, the grief was
most poignant. It was some time before
the performance could be continued, and
strange as it may be, the very next act
was one In which Miss Taylor, the
young lady to whom the ill-fated
aeronaut was engaged, was one of the
principal riders, and was obliged to APP
pear. In fact, her relation to Donald
son was not known by many in the audi
ence, but her stained cheek was
plainly visible to al. The utmost sad

The steamship Dakota.

The new Williams & Guion steamship
Dakota, sister ship to the Montana, of
which extended mention has been made
in these columns, arrived at this port on
Saturday, on her first voyage from Liver
pool. She is of the same peculiar, and
withal handsome model as the Montana,
325 feet long, As feet beam, and 80 feet
depth of hold. The Dakota can steam
sixteen knots an hour, and has accom-
mediation for 80 cabin and 1,50O steer
age passengers. She is commanded by
Capt. Forsyth, and sails hence on the
10Th inst.
The Dakota made her initial trip
across the Atlantic in less than nine
days, and did not steam at full speed.
Three days out she passed an immense
iceberg. N. Y. EUea16ng Mail.

Few people are aware Of the CONNER
cial importance Of perfumes, and OF the
extent to which their manufacture is now
carried on. The fower-harvest of the
district of the Var, in the southeast OF
France, includes no less than 1,475, 600
pounds of orange blossoms, $4,000
pounds of roses, 100, 1000 pounds of jas
mine. $4,000 pounds of violets. $4,000
pounds of acacia, 10000 pounds of ger
aniums, 1000 pounds Of tuberose, and
5000 pounds Of jonquil. A well-known
perfume manufacturer at Cannes uses
annually 40, 1000 pounds of rose leaves
alone, and other perfume-laden flowers
in proportion.

On the British railways last year there
were oil passengers killed and 1881 in
jured. The passenger journeys during
the year numbered 48O,000,000, giving
an average of 100000 day, SO that,
when we remember that II of the deaths
were caused by the carelessness of the
individuals, the relative mortality is not
great. It is curious that precisely the
same number of persons 211-were
killed in the streets of London during
the same interval.

Buchu Helmbold in an Insane Asylum.

A Philadelphia dispatch says !" Mr..
Henry T. Helmbold, the former proprie-
tor of many patent medicines, and who
kept large house on Broadway, has
been sent to an insane asylum in this
city. He recently returned from Eu-
rope, and has been temporarily stopping
here. In conversation with a reporter
he told wonderful tales of what he pro-
posed to do in the future, and, for a man
whose business has been wrecked, spoke
profoundly confident. On Wednesday
last two physicians examined him and
pronounced him insane. They then
made affidavit before an Alderman, re-
citing the result of the examination, and
yesterday Mr.. Helnbold was removed to
Dr. Kirkbride's asylum.

The Paris Founding Hospital has set
up novel claim lately. One of it's pro-
teges, whose mother was dead, and
whose father had abandoned it, inherited
fortune from relative of the mother.
At once the father claimed the custody
of the child, the mothers relatives
claimed it, and the hospital claimed the
right to hold the child and administer
the fortune, but the law gave the child
to guardian chosen by the relatives of
the mother.

Nothing Wasted.

Few things so well symbolic the eco
nomical habits of continental Europe,
and especially France, as the pot Gu fen.
This is an iron pot kept constantly sim
mering upon the fire, into which is put
from Gay to day all the wholesome rem
nants of food which in this country are
thrown away. Ourpeople, in their. mag
nifcent way of doing things, never stop
to consider how much nutriment adheres
even to well-picked bones of porter house
steaks, mutton chops, ribs of beef, legs
of mutton, etc. All these, and many
things beside, are put into the pot an
fen water, seasoning and fragrant herbs
are added as required, and the constant
simmering- solvent for even the tough
est of Texan beef-extracts every parti-
Gle of marrow even, and the bones come
out as clean and white as if they had
been bleached for years IN the sun.
Among the common people more than
half the nutIiment of the day comes from
pot al fen, and if any member of the
family comes home at an unusual hour
hungry, it affords at all times a neal at
once warm and wholesome. This ex-
plains how, as Hugh McCulluch tells us,
the forty millions of France could live
on what the forty millions of America
throw away, and when we consider the
wretched cookery that prevails in this
country, 1t is not too much to affirm that
they could live twice as well as do our
farmers and day laborers.
