iously driven out, as they certainly
ought to be. They dress with faultless
precision, and their delicate hands,
which never know labor, are deeked
with jewels; but whence come their
tne apparel and yaluabI eornaments,. or
to whom they are indebted for their
daily bread are more OF those inscruta-
BILE mysteries which "no fellow can fnd
out" Doubtless many of them are men,
bers OF the sporting profession, which is
always being suppressed, yet flourisnes
upon suppression, but these men are as
clearly vagrants under the law, and
subject to arrest, as the ragged mendf-
cant who asks aims upon the street or
skulks sas spiciously through our alleys.
Our vagraht acts are ample enough,
and every man who can not make fair
showing OF supporting himself by honest
and legitimate means Is subject TO their
provisions. That he is rugged out in fine
attire and fashy jewelry should not
place him above suspicion or protect
him from arrest, and it is a fact only too
we'll known that there are men enough
Of this character hanging around our
city to MI our Jail and Work-hoase to
overflowing. Justice, however, who is
blind, seems to lay her severe hand on
the rough and ragged vagrant without
the least difficulty, while the sleek and
accomplished loater efudes her grasp
with apparent ease. Yet the latter are
not the least dangerous of their class,
and there can be no doubt but that il
the laws for the arrest of men without
visible means OF support were more
zeaIously and impartialfy enforced
there would be very perceptibIe de-
crease of crime. n. ..

THE ice crop on the Hudson River i,
the largest ever before harvested. One
million four hundred and three thousand
tons have been housed. In doing the
work eight thousand three hundred and
eighty men, one thousand three hun.
dred and twenty boys, six hundred and
fourteen horses and forty eight steam
engines have been employed. Much
greater care is now taken all over the
country in securing pure article than
was formerly had. 1t was, until recent
9y, very generally believed that freezing
destroye ed impurities, and that no mat
ter how foul the water, when converted
into ice all malarial gu ilities were de-
stroyed. So tar from this being the case
it is asserted that the freezing Of many
substances held in solution not onl y
evolves dangerous elements, but that
the ice itself, from it's porous nature, alb
serbs the miasmatic gases that arise
from any foul matter that may exist in
the bottom OF the stream or pond from
which it is taken. According to this
theory it Is safer to use cake of ice
with dead dog enclosed in it, like fly
in amber, than to use ice from pond
holding dead dog in solution, and it
looks reasonable.

Britain have changed but very little
the past few years, while there has been
q great falling off of her exports. The

A MUssULMAN HERoINE.-A correspondent
writing from Kuruh Dara, Turkish Armenia,
in describing the battle at Kill Tepe, says
1t is currently reported to-day about the
camp that one of the attacking columns of
the cavalry was under the command of a wo-
man named Fatma, daughter of an Arab
sheikh. A woman on horseback was seen at
the front of the Circassian cavalry line when
the first dash was made, after the pickets
were passed by means of the watchword, given
in perfect Russian. 1t is stated by one of the
few survivors with whom l have conversed,
that this woman appeared utterly fearless of
death, and that she rode across the line of her
troops when they were firing, in utter disre-
gard of the usuages of warfare and in evident
ignorance of the absurdity of her conduct
She may have seen picture representing
Joan of Arc leading her troops. The poor,
brave girl was killed before her men reached
the Russian camp, indeed before the retreat
became precipitous. She was seen to fall
from her horse, and her whole troop of caval
rymen, doubtless unable to restrain their
steeds, passed over her quivering body. May
she go straight to the harem of Mohammed in
paradise

HALLOW EVE.

The last night in October is kept in queer
fashion in country villages in some of the
Eastern States, and the peasantry of England
and Scotland have some very superstitious
customs and beliefs regarding it. 1t is thought
to be a night when witches, devils, and other
mischief making beings are all abroad in their
baneful midnight errands, especially those
aerial people, the fairies, are said on that
night to hold a grand anniversary. In Scot
land the first ceremony is, pulling each a
stock or head of cabbage. They must go out
hand-in-h hand with eyes shut, and pull the
first they meet with; its being large or small
straight or crooked is prophetic of the size and
shape of the grand object of all their spells
the husband or wife. If any earth sticks to
the root, that is a sign of good fortune, and
the taste of the heart is indicative of the
natural temper and disposition. Lastly the
stems are placed somewhere above the door;
and the christian names of the people whom
chance brings into the house are, according
to priority of placing the stems, the names in
question. Another place for getting glimpse
of ones future husband or wife is, to take
candle, and go alone to looking glass; eat
an apple before it, and comb the hair all the
time; the face of the conjugal companion to
be, will be seen in the glass, as if peeping
over the persons shoulder These and many
other superstitions of the same character
have been Incorporated in one of Burns poems,
entitled Halloween. Although the country
people in our own country are not quite so
superstitious as the Scotch, still we have
known persons in our own experience who
firmly believed that the devil was abroad ON
the night of Hallow Eve, and the pranks
played by mischievous boys and men have
given many timid person such fright that,
no doubt they thought the spirits or demons
near about. The custom of robbing cabbage
patches and of bursting open doors by throw
ing cabbage heads against them is still in
vogue in many Eastern villages on Hallow
Eve night Corn and shot are ratified against
windows; outhouses are overturned; fences
removed and built up again across the road;
gates carried off; wagons and buggies I'M
coupled and put together again on the tops of
barns and houses; Inch pins stolen; signs
carried away and exchanged for others, and
numerous other such acts of mischief are
done in neighborhoods where Hallow eve is
kept.

Alps CoNp.Nv-Mr Theodore A. Hale so

ALPS CoMpANY.-Mr Theodore A. Hale so
well and favorably known in this vicinity is
now superintendent of this property at Phoebe
He has quite recently made an important
development in the Mazeppa, one of the
mines belonging to the Alps Company, six
43 tons of the ore from which yielded few
days ago at the company's mill $3.50 per ton.
| The vein has also been encountered at depth
of 200 feet below where the first strike was
made; at this point the ore assaysS7O9 per ton
This discovery has been made in section Of
| the mine not heretofore worked. 1t is about
900 feet east of the line of the Meadow Val
ley Company, towards which the ore body
extends. If this development continues to
increase in Importance we shall soon expect
to see the price of this company's stock ad
vancing rapidly and the Phoebe people made
happy with lively times in that vicinity. We
congratulate our old friend Theodore on his
good fortune, and hope that he has loaded
himself down with Alps stock.
