TRAMps.-There are two kinds Of
tramps-the Professionalism man
who is urged by his necessities to
seek employment elsewhere than at
home. The former is seen in the
same locality more than once in a
year, the latter is seldom seen twice.
The former will ask with audacious
countcnance for his dinner; the lat
ter will inquire at residences if he
can do some little "chore" for his
meal. 1t is very easy to distinguish
the one from the other. On the
countenancc of one is imprinted
sorrow and shame; while the 9th
er's face is as brazoned as the an
cient door-knob. The one is a pro
fessional tramp; the other such from
necessity. When public journals re-
fer to outrages committed by tramps,
they referto the professional sort;
those who have learned how to live
in filth and idleness, and whocannot
be driven to work, This class is rap
idly on the increase, and some meas
ures should be taken to stop it.
State Legislatures should empower
cities and counties to arrest and put
them to work, and once made to la
Dor for their bread, they will take up
some occupation by which they can
secure little more than a necessit-
Gus living.
SOMETHING OF INTEREST ABOUT

against that grade from 5 to 10 cents

The State says:
1t would be wcll'for all farmers to
note the fact, for it is an important
element in the yield Of their crops.

Lancaster and other Mediterranean
varieties, are subject to no such dis

not be dropped so completely as they
have been. Several white varieties,

yinia should look carefully into the
question before they again decide, as
they did at the last seeding time, to
discard almost universally the well
tried and satisfactory varieties they
had for this stranger the short bcr-
ry" Fultz.
The Petersburg Ldcr says: a
word of advice to the farmers. The
recent heavy and continued rains
have dampencd much of the grain
shocked in the field. Damp grain
will not sell except at ruinously low
figures. The farmers are therefore
advised to be extremely careful about
their wheat, andno bring it to mark,
ct until ii is thoroughly dry. Mil
lcrs do not want damp grain at any
price.
