a Tramp.
BY f. NJ. TO =. b.

Wandering alone In the busy town,
| Watching the faces In t he eager throng,
With nothing to do to keep hunger down
How rapidly the crowd hurries along
How many see of familiar glow,
Yet none of them pause to smile on me.
While down by the river, list to its flow,
And wonder how soon Twill set me free
How many fair faces of kindly, mien.
How hungrily yearn for one true heart,
One ray of human love to light the scene,
One smile ere forevermore depart.
Fair fields of smiling plenty lie around.
The golden orange hangs in clusters fair.
The sun shines kindly and sereney down,
And light and life is in The ambient air
No confidence or human trust is here,
No charity for hungry tramp is found.
Why should Ilinger? Death do not fear.
Twill give me rest; and love and joy may
there abound.
Twas only yesterday was sent along
By a rich man, who might thus loose some
pence
In my feeble hand. once was very strong,
But now I'm poor. and weak, is my offense.
Yes, down to the river. Its waters clear
Will fold my feeble form in true embrace,
And in the coming time mankind may hear
A voice of kinder love from his own race

From the Gazette OF the 10Th. |

A number of the solid citizens of An
aheim met together yesterday after
noon and drew up Il protest against
the issuance of bonds for building the
Court House and Jail in Los A ngeles.
This protest will be largely signed and
forwarded to Sacramento.
The sun came out gloriously yester-
day and his rays were all the more
pleasant after the cloudy weather
which we have been surfeited with.
But about half past eight last even
ing the rain again commenced to fall,
and the lowering aspect ofthe clouds
indicate that the wet season is not yet
over.
The rainfall for the season to Janu-
ary 25th was So inches. Referring 10
last years record we fluid that the rain
fall to January Goth was twelve inch
es-l0 inches of which fell from Janu-
ary 10th to 26th exclusive. This, how
ever, was the last rain except a slight
fall of three-sixteenths of an inch on

AN IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-The Supreme
Court of the State of Illinois has rendered
an important decision which effects every
high school in the state II is to the effec,
that children cannot be compelled to study
drawing music, Latin, German, Greek
French, sc. if they do not desire; that it Is
optional with the parents TO determine wheth.
er their children pursue more than the com.
mon branches of study or not; and that il
any board of school directors or teacher at
tempts to compel pupil to go farther than
the studies enumerated by law, they are guilty
of trespass. Nor can high schools be main
tanned under the general school law, which
were created by special enactments There
is talk of getting out an Injunction to prevent,
in this city, the payment of the salary of the
High School teachers, on the ground that
they are doing and being paid for work done
outside of the requirements of the law As
;he school system of Ottawa is established
by special act of the Legislature, we are IN
Doubt rs to the effect of this new decision. If
die injunction will lie, our: school system and
that of every other city in the state is ruined
npw and forever.

The recent attacks of the Chicago Tribune
upon MIR. Judd, and its pretended expose OF
the Sons of Liberty, are getting the "Filoso.
fer" into hot water. The "Filosofer's" ex.
pose was as truthful as could be expected
from such sheet in tight place; and Its
attack on Mr.. Judd is on par with similar
charges made by radical newspapers upon all
honest men who presume to have anything
to say against Grantlsm; hence on Friday
last Mr.. Judd began a suit for libel ia The
Circuit Court of Cook county against the
Tribune with damages at S5D 900, and he pro-
poses also TO bring criminal action agains

Things IL Indiana are desperate for the ad
ministration bummers especially since the
signal failure Of the "Boys in Blue" scheme
Most OF the leaders of the party are thorough
ly discouraged; they cry for more money
and complain of the inefficiency of the state
central committee, &c. The party, however
is still pegging away with all the energy OF
men in the last ditch. On Tuesday all the
magnates were collected at the Tippecanoe
Battle Ground where big meeting was held,
which was addressed by Blaine, Bob Lincoln,
Gen. Harrison, G. S. Orth and others. zone
of the most notable incidents of the day" says
the Inter. Oceqn, "was Mr.. Orth's Introduction

INDIANAPOLIS REUNION.

The military reunion at Indianapolis las
week was turned into a Republican barbecue
under the able management of Zach Chand
Ter, Don Cameron and U. S. Grant Many
old soldiers, who had been enticed under the
false impression that it was to be merely 9
social greeting, refused to subscribe to the
political resolutions or to enter the ranks in
the procession, and for such refusal were
openly branded as traitors and rebels by hun
dreds Of Zschs hackers who had never been
nearer the front during the war than the
southern boundary of Lower Canada Halo
way converted the government buildings in
to sign boards for Hayes and Wheeler por
traits and the display of political posters
Spooner brought out the government cannon
from the arsenal and loaded them with gov.
eminent powder, while government bands,
ordered from Nashville by Don Cameron,
were playing for this, Zach's Republican
rally.
Take specimen resolution:
Res0lred, That the hope of the industry Of
the nation, now Frustrated by the factious pro-
tives depends upon the success of the Repub-
lican party,which alone can restore confidence
to capital and assure to labor constant en-
ployment and fair remuneration for honest
work.
just so. "The hope Of the industry Of the
nation depends upon the success of the rcpub-
llcan party" That explains why So many
of our manufactures are closed; why so
many merchants are bankrupt; why so many
Of our ships lie "rOttlng upon the seas why
so many branches of trade and industry are
crippled and Frustrated; why homes and city
lots and farms are mortgaged at ten per cent;
and why the leaders of, and the ollice-holders
in this great republican party on which "the
hope of the industry Of the nation depends"
can make hundred thousand dollars in four
years on a three thousand dollar salary. Ifl
the "hope of the industry Of the nation de-
ponds upon the republican party for about
four years more, 1t will be bad for the "in.
dustry.'' s.. ..#.
This turning soldiers reunion into re.
publican rally, through the influence of
republican leaders, Is getting little stale. 1t
is an old trick of the wire pullers, and is no
longer deceiving, yet it is a sample of the
fraud, the trckery and dishonesty prac,iced
by the "God and morality party to keep its
hold upon the public purse.

order providing rations for destitute refugees
of,he south. Says the Springfield Register;
~ Don Cameron, Secretary of War; has some
advantage over ordinary distinctive rcpubli-
cans, in that he inherited his rascality from
his father, Simon Cameron, who was kicked
out Of Lincoln's cabinet for theft. This thiev.
ing son of a plundering sire has just issued an
order providing for the issue OF rations to any
destitute refugee" who may apply at the
military posts of the soHth The destitute
refugees" are, of course, negroes only, and
the purpose of the order is equally, of conrse,
TO feed at government expense such negroes
as agree to vote for Hayes and the rest OF the
thieves on the republican ticket. In view of
this order, which is wholly illegal, and which
will cost millions of money, the whining of
the republicans about the reduction of any
appropriations by the last house of represen-
tatlves appears even more absurd than il did
originally"

not one of them was ever prosecuted by the

The Republican admits there have been
immense stealings by the whsky.rlng, bu,
as is usual, adds: "and there probably Will
be so long as fourffths of TIE whisky men

Grants appointees democrats, Oh, no, no,
by long way; they are the simon pure rad
lcals every time, and these are the same men
who do the stealing and countenance IT. Every
gallon OF whisky made in the United States
must go through the hands OF a guager and a
store keeper, appointees always of Grant and
his clique, and the Republican knows tina,
there could not possibly be a cent stolen with

1t is an old story to tell what Bristow did
