He Cor Ira fellow who had walked
A long, long, weary way shambed into q
hotel last night. The dust OF travel per-
colated his hair and his hat, the pebbles Of
the wayside found n hiding place in his
shoes, and his knees ratified together, as he
went In to the hotel clerk, and taking off
his hat, in installments, stood with the Sec
tons in his hand, uncovered before the
awful dignity OF that naughty character.
HWell,n said the II. G.. loitily; what do
you want here, omecoldt vittles9' :.
"Ns," said the poor pedestrian, Elm q
tramp, victim OF circumstances, subject
TO no law, and recognizing no authority,
and Pm rs far above cold vittles as hotel
clerks opinion OF himself Is above the
hotel clerk itself. I haven't eaten a bite
since l babe farewell to the bottle Of my
babyhood, and ] acknowledge no sub
serviency to the base uses and purposes OF
Others. I never eat. wouldn't eat II l
had chance. But this thing cannot con-
tinue forever feel, to-day, as II the gen.
tie !breezes from the far away land Of the
loved ones gone before were blowing their
gentle breathupon me. Igaze outinto the
soft blue OF the home over there, and l
can see the vague outlines OF shadow hands
electromagnetic come and hang these poor
old clothes on the hat-rack by the pearly
gates, and take on q white robe, dazzling
like your shirt front and diamond pin; so
thought I'd just come into this place
where people find food, and shelter and
warmth, and top.story room, and hair in
the butter, and q roach in the soup, and
ask you to lend me looking-glass to see
myself starye TO death"

A PETITION PROM rHE Tow.BoAr MEN
A large number OF firms in this district,
engaged in shipping coal on the river, and
employing many tow-boats, have for
warded petition to Gen. Beaumont, the
Supervisor OF the Steamboat Inspection
Service, at Washington City, in which
they say some OF the regulations establish
ed Tor the protection OF passenger steam
boats are scarcely rendered necessary on
the class OF boats employed by them, and
they are somewhat concerned lest the re-
ports US made TO the department relative
TO the Magenta and Adelphi explosions
may result In the issuing OF instructions
directing tho removal OF all non-conduct..
ing materials used in covering boilers and
steam connections at the annual inspection;
This would involve considerable loss and
expense, which they think will be found
unnecessary. They further state that,
from the nature OF the construction Of
their boilers, there Is no possibility Of
covering up any defects that are not in
stantly perceptible when subject to the
hydrostatic test. They therefore ask that
should the removal OF non.conductorsdur-
ing inspection be deemed necessary. upon
passenger boats, the tow-boats used by the
petitioners may be excepted. The petit
lion will be submitted to Supervising In.
spcctor Fallrenbach, Of this district and
his opinion In the matter will have much
influence in the final decision OF theques'
ton. e

TnE TELErnoSE.-our shippers should
bear in mind that the new steamer Tele-
phone, Capt Ed. F. Maddy, built especial
" for the Wheeling and Charleston trade
will resume her trips, leaving Charleston
this morning and this port tomorrow eve
ming at 0 O'clock. This gives Wheeling
direct connection with the principal town
Of the Kanawha region. There Is q trade
in that region worth cultivating, and which
the merchants and business men OF Wheel
ing ought to give attention to. The run
ming OF regular packet between the two
places is an experiment which offers the
requisite facility for reliable and speedy
business connection, and should receive all
possible encouragement. We hope TO see
Il become well established and profitable
line OF trade.

A BoLp snopLlrrlSG opERArIoS.-We
heard late last night, too late to obtain the
particulars in detail, OF bold robbery
committed on Monday. The matter had
Leen kept quiet with the hope that by
avoiding publicity the chances Of securing
the thieves and their plumber would there
by be materially increased, and 1t conse.:
ouently escaped for time the lynx-eyed
reporters for the daily press.
II our information is correct, this was
one Of the boldest bits of shoplitting that
has been done here for long time On
Monday, as we are informed, two well
dressed strangers called at Geo. K. Taylor
& Co.'S dry goods store, and while one on.
gagged q clerk in conversation for q few
moments, the other. left temporarily to
himself carelessly looked over some fine
goods lying on the counter. After the
Two men left the store the discovery was
made that about 500 worth OF goods were
missing. The police authorities were at
once notified, and have been on the look
out since for the supposed thieves, but so
far without success.
