they belong, are now trying what enjoyment
they can ex,rao, from the Eoglish one OF coach
Ing The roughs of the same city have Also
as was natural, become salated With the de
lights of their usual amusemeuts, and 10 the
extremity to which they were reduced, have
taken to puocturipg peoples braios by means
OF sharpened sticks, which they thrust luto
their eyes while they lay asleep 10 the parks
these warm aights. Now, if hot irons had been
used, We might imagine they had been readlug
kug John, and had also derived their solace
from Eagiand's bouuy isle, but as cold sticks
were used, whence they derived the new idea,
unless it spraog Spontaneous 10 their liberty
loving breasts. 90 one knows. The New Iork
Commercial Advertiser describes the sport as

men with sharp sticks amused themselves by
stirring up lhe sleepers on the benches lG Uoon

TUESDAY, JUNE n, 1875.

The "Southern r publican Association, OF
the District OF Columbia, composed almost en-
tlrely Of men from the North, has published
statement showing the number OF persons en
gagged as officers, clerks. and employees 10 each
department at Washington, together with the
number each State aud Territory would be en-
titled 10 upon the basis OF DIVISION according
to representation, and the plumber ac:u alV en-
ployed from each State and Territory, aggre-
eating 5 l4S. The table represents Virginia
with 40 excess Of u. West Virginia with a
deficit Of s, North Carolina with deficit OF
l24, South Carolina with d,h:lt OF 81. Geor
Ola with deficit of 1884, Florida with a deficit
of 80, Alabama with deficit OF l22, MlsSs-

citizens in the employ Of TIL departments.
Massachusetts ia eotitled to 2l7 aud has that
number New York, with 65l employees, has
an excess Of or!y three. Illinois leads all the
States 10 the matter of deficit, being put down
at 2O6 short Of the number TO which Sh" is co.
titled. If all the States are credited, as Vlr-
giuia is, with people who come from al! quar-
tiers, to get Office, and then settle "acro's the
