TRAMPS.

The tramp is a curious specimen Of humani-
~, whose chief characteristic is the exact
reverse Of that Of his fellow-man. Society is
the chief charm of mans existence, and old
and familiar associations are chung to by him
with an almost unfolding tenacity. Home
with its delightful and happy companiouship
is the idol OF his heart, and 10 be separated
from it is 20 endure an exile, the chief ele-
ment Of which is woeful misery. But these
attachments have no charms for the profess
sional tramp. New faces. new scenes and
novelties of every character are the chief at
fractions Of his life, and as uniring and I'M
ceasins MS the wind, he wanders on with no
goal to guide his steps and no magnet TO
allure him except the love of variety. lie
comes like the disturbed spirit of sin aud de-
parts leaving no memento behind except a
vacant spot where once stood valuable article
lie views everything as his legal prey and steals
unfortunately from the charity that gives him
food and the man that drives him away from
his door with curses. He has become plague
and pestilence uron the face of our country,
and the great problem is how 10 dispose OF
him. We understand that State convention
will soon be assembled at Baltimore 10 take
into consideration this question. 1t will en-
deavor to devise and put irio operation some
scheme which will at last relieve our State Of
this horde Of Wandering Jews. One Of the
greatest evils we are subjected to upon their
account is providing them with lodging and
board. Our Jail expenses for the past year
have been larger than ever before, aud the
cause is traceable entirely TO the support OF
ramps. How shall this be remedied Let
lie Legislature make law providing that
iramps shall be committed 10 the county Jail
Sor a period Of ten days and be subjected to
bsOor npou the public roads during the time
Of their confinement. Once let the tramps
know that II they come within in the borders
81 the State that they will be compelled TO re-
main 10 one spot for ten days and subjected to
work, and they will steer as clear of us as we
could desire.

There is an advertisement in our columns 10
which we take much pleasure in referring our
readers, because we believe in it and can con-
sceniously and heartily recommend it. We
refer to Halls Hair Remover We remember
many cases in our midst of old aud middle
aged people who formerly wore grey hair, or
whose locks were thin and faded, but who
now have presenlable head pieces, and with
no pride announce to friends that they haven I
a grey hair in their heads. 1t is pardona-
BILE pride, and the world would be better of,
if there was more of it, for when the aged
make themselves attractive to others they are
more certain to win and retain the esteem and
respect to which burihen of well spent
years entities them. Try Halls Hair Remover
if age or disease has thinned or whitenrd your
locks and YOU will thank us for our advice -

What a smart nation this is, il has reacbsd
the apex of excogitation. The parent conn
tries that gave youthful America her first
sustenance is now to be taught by her to eat
and live more economically. Should the idea
be adopted, as cheap as corn now is in this
country it will rebound TO the farmers benefit.
Amongst the cerealia OF France corn is not
raised, therefore large shppings would be
made to that country. The invention is as
follows:
"Mr. Hewitt Member OF Congress from New
York has suggested an entirely new device for
the representation of American industry at
the Paris Exhibition in 1878. He presented
an amendment to the bill, which the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs promptly adopted, that
the Commissioner General be directed to put
up an A merican kitchen, at which the various
methods of cooking Indian corn shall be ex-
hbited and the products thereof distributed,
with recipes in the different languages"
FIEHDIsH OUTRAGE The Princess Anne
Herald, says; On Monday morning an out
rage was committed upon Miss Sarah Young,
daughter OF Samuel Young, aged about TWEEN
ty years. Mr.. Young lives about three miles
from town, and about O. clock his daughter
started to go to II store near the almshouse,
FIVE miles from here When near the residence
of John Burnett she was approached by n
white man, who made improper proposals to
her; she told him to go away or she would
cry out; he told her if she screamed he would
cut her throat, at the same time drawing
pocket knife she started 10 retreat when he
cut at her twice, the blade Of the knife taking
effect on her left arm, causing the blood TO
flow freely. The villain then seized her, took
her in the woods and accomplished his pur-
pose. The victim returned home and at last
accounts was suffering terribly from her in
jurles, excitement and fright. She does not
know the name Of the perpetrator of the out
rage, but is satisfied she can identify him il
she can see him.

Curiosities of Grating.

The Culfiratsr is responsible for the fol-
lowing description of a curiosity in the
grating line, which show what may be don e
By a careful pomologist: I'VE can graft
the apricot on the plum, and the peach on
apricot, and the almond on the peach, thus
producing tree with plum roots and al
mond leaves. The wood of the stem will
consist of four distinct vafieties, though
formed from one con'lnuos layer. Below the
almond wood and bark we shall have perfect
peach wood and bark, then perfect apricot
wood and bark. and at the bottom perfect
plum wood and bark. In this curious in
stance we see the intimate correspondence
between the bark and the leaf. for if we
should remove the almond branches, We
might cause the several sorts of wood tt
develop buds and leafy twigs each of it
own kind Each section of the compound
stem has its seat of life in the cambiun
! layer, and the cambium of each reproduee'
cells of its own species out of common

SOiling.

The number of inquiries which We from
time to time received relative to the benefits
of soiling, would seem to indicate that there.
is growing interest in this mode of seed-
ing. Theoretically it is much better to
keep the animals Especially cows) fenced
up and bring the grass or orther food to
them; larger number may be fed from a
given area and the only question is wheth.
er this increase in number will pay the in.
creased expense. If we are to take practice
as an answer it is evident that a large ma
jority of our dairymen think it will not pay
for the extra labor, and hence still allow
the stock to run in the pasture and select
their own food
Many our best dairymen have to Il certain
extent compromised the matter by adding
four Oh five COWS to their usual stock, plant
ing an acre or two of sown or thickly drill
ed corn; as soon as this corn is large enough
and the fall pasture begins to fail it is sup
plemented by the green corn fodder fed ou
on the pasture. BY sowing an acre or two
of rye for early spring cutting and an acre
Of oats for early summer feeding, the time
between winter feed and after harvest pas
ture may be bridged over without any de
crease in the flow of milk. If any of oul
readers have had any practical experienc,
in this line we should be glad to hear from
them.

Improving Farms.

On this subject one of our exchanges
thus alludes to the profit oi fixing up about
the buildings and farm-an item too often
reelected because it is not properly appre-
ciated by many who claim that ii "does
not pay" "How few farmers improve their
farms to the extent they might do, if they
had the requisite energy and perseverance,
let us suppose a case. Mr.. A. buys ii
farm that is run down. the land is poor, the
farm out of repair. the house going to ruin,
the barn leaky, no orchard, no garden
worthy of the name, fields grown up to
briars, no undertaking ever thought of
swampS in various places, land rocky. OF
too rough for a moving machine-all the
typical character of man who is not fit to
own rod of land. Ten years pass, and we
again examine this farm; and what do we
behold? The rocky and rough fields are as
smooth as lawn; the grass is luxurant
marshes and swales have disappeared by
ditching and understanding; fine fence
over the entire farm greet the eye; young
orchard is Just coming into bearing; The
dwelling is painted and blinded; shade ant
fruit trees adorn the yard; the barn anC
ut-houses look comfortable, and are il
good repair; substantial picket fence sur
rounds the house and garden, and every
thing denotes thrift and comfort! How wa
this great improvement effected? Simpl,
by persistent labor at odd times. when tn,
crops did not need special attention, ant
the improved crops from year tc year, OBJ
tained by a thorough system of farming
paid the entire expenses. Had Mr.. B. OF
Mr.. c. bought this farm, it is proba BIZ
that it would to-day be the same old for
lorn and run down place. 1t is energ,
: and brains that effect such results; ant
could do the same if they would wake ur
and many farmers bestir themselves"
II the owner wishes to sell it will alway
pay, and if he does not the lesson given t.
e his children and their increased interest il
f the common home of the family will NOR
f than repay the expense.
