five ever got back North. And then Tdon't

''Why dOn'tyou try work little whileY'
Theman's face took a curious expression.
Work! We work! Why, we might as
well be labrin men tO-once! None Of that
for me. There is one city in the west Wich
got into last fall, where they arrested us,
ana put US in a stone-yard, breakin' stone
Ior the streets-roledo. They got me once,
ana Kept me at it two weeks. l wouldn't
go within hundred miles of that city, if l
knew 1t, for fortune. Think of workin'
ten hours day, and feedin' us on broad
aud water! They don't know how 70 trast
people ther'."
The vagabond went away, with an express
sion of sadness on his eountenanee. The
remembrance of his brief stay in Toledo.
where the city is wise enough to make them
earn the bread they eat, was too much for
him. He doubtless brooded over it all the
day.
What Toledo does, every city and town
IN the country should do. The moment a
beggar appears on the streets Of that city,
he Is arrested, is taken to barracks provided
Tor such cumberers of the earth, and if able |
70 work. is set to breaking stone. When |
MS time Is up, he is given loaf of bread |
| and piece of meat and is dismissed with |
the assurance if he returns he will be re-
tanned still longer period. None Of them
return. Every state in the union ought.
this winter, to have legislation empowering |
magistrates to conamit these pests, at sight.
The city viii have fifty thousand Of them
within its borders this winter, who will go
out as soon as spring opens, to infest the
country. Every one of them is a thief,
whenever thieving can be done safely, and |
murder is only abstained from because it |
isn't safe. The tramp proper came to this |
country from England, but it wasn't long
till the American vagsbond adopted his tao
tics. They have signs and language of
their own, and where one or two are seen,
you may be sure there are more. They
work in gangs, and can be rallied within
few hours. They are vicious, useless and
dangerous, and society owes it to itself to
extirpate them. There ought to be the
most stringent legislation against them in
all the states, this winter.
POLITICAL
We in New York are looking anxiouslv
to the Western states that hold elections
this fall. Itwould be shame if the Repub-
icans allowed themselves, by apathy or any
feeling of discomfort, to be beaten. Presi-
dent Hayes is the first man occupying the
chair, who ever attempted anything like
genuine reform in the management Of the
government, and if the people desire reform
it is due themselves as well as him, that
this fall they endorse him. Ohio, and Penn
sylvania, ought both to be carried by the
Republicans, by decided majorities. If the
Republicans of the country could be here
and know how gigantic were the evils he at
tackled, and how thoroughly he rooted them
out, they would be as enthusiastic for him
as we are. And if they could realize how
desperately the Democracy are fighting to
get control four years from now, they would
take off their coats and see to it that this,
the preliminary skirmish, is not lost. Let
them remember thathe has reduced the ex-
penses of the government, millions, that he
is purging the civil service, and that he is
doing all that man can do, to purify and re-
form the government, and say by their votes
that they approve of it. 1t would be burn
ing shame to lose the elections this fall.
BUSINESS.
Is better and is getting better every day.
The Southern merchants are here in great
numbers, and are buying largely. The
crops are now certain, and there can be no
question as to there being large and heal
thy trade this winter. The North is little
behind, but they are coming, and the stream
is increasing in volume every day. The
weather is delightful, and the health OF the
city good. PIETRo.

Relief Without a Doctor
Though we would by no means be under
stood as deprecating, but rather as recon-
mending, professional aid in disease there |
are multitudes of instances when it is nei- |
ther necessary or easy to obtain. A family
provided with cOmpreh ensive household
specific like HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, is
possessed of a medicinal resource adequate
to most emergencies in which medical adj
vice would be otherwise needful. That ster-
