BOHEMIAN, NJ. T., July 26, 1878.
Editor Arant Courier:
see that those Fort Custer contractors
are trying to get up another hodo in the
shape of Il gold excitement in that part OF
the country, with view to getting sur
pll,s of men in that vicinity. so they may
hire them for few weeks at a dollar and a
half day, as they did last year. l was
myself ''lousy prospector'' in the Big
Horn mountains, last year, in company
with Charles F. Blackburn, and would say
that what that gentleman says may be de-
pended upon.
Respectfully,
j. w. LUCKILY.

Ponsford's Billiard Hall.

A Jail bird in Radersburg recently at
tempted to make his escape from the Jail
by cutting hole through the floor. The
floor of the Jail is made of 2xS or 10 joist
set on edge and spiked together two tiers
thick. the lower one laid erossways from
the upper one. The jail bird succeeded in
cutting hole through the first half of the
floor. but found too many spikes in the
other halt. Had he succeeded in getting
hole entirely through the floor he coald
not have made his escape, as the noor is
built on solid rock. The mans bed was
on the floor and he had cut the hole iu-
mediately under it and filed the hole with
his pillow when not at work.

4 CANNED DoG-Which does not mean a
pickled dog in can, but dog with tin oil
can attached to his narrative. Such a dog
was John P Neder's large Newfoundland yes
terday morning That dog, although of fine
physical proportions and every outward APP
pearance of good raising, Is of the tramp or
der with predominating canine hoOdlum pro-
pensities This animal in his perlgrlnatlons
wandered in the northern part of town yes
terday morning, where he struck a congenlal
canine crowd He firted around for con-
siderable space Of time when gang OF Arabs
T. e. Young hoodums of the genus ho'"o,
with dirty faces, unkempt hair and red little
knees protruding from tattered trousers) came
along, who, in Christian-llke manner, sug-
Gested the canning of that Newfoundland
dog. 1t did not take one of the gdm1nS long
to steal an empty oil can and a piece of ball
isg rope from a neighboring store. While
.sveral of the small boys were kindly fondl-
ing Meder's dog, the most enterprlsng OF the
gang was securely fastening that oil can to
the dogs caudal appendage. That part OF
the programme was soon carried out, ana
then the arabs gave savage yell which
had the effect of sending the dog adrift with
the tin can dangling after him. He sped
down street with the rapidlty OF chain hight
ninp his speed increasing every block When
he reached ellison 81 BARRIERS corner the
rome became entangled around one OF the
awning posts, which threw the frantic animal
,,,on his back. He soon, however, e1tr1cated
himself from his embarrassing position and
continued upon his journey, tin can and all.
Nv this time large herd OF his species had
collected and followed him, but his gait was
too rapid, and as the other dogs hadn't the
anne incentive to speed, he left them TAR IN
the rear There is no mention made IN the
unpublished annals OF Carson where peoes,
TRANS paid such respect to dog as they old
vastsrdav morning Neither man, woman
or child would impede that dog way, but on
the contrary they stepped deferentlally aside
and permitted him to pass On speo 'he
hero of this romance until he reached heyser
& Elrods stable where number of children
were playing. Over that crowd he leaped,
and passed through the plaza with undlm'n-
ished speed in the direction Of his master $
residence. Before he reached his harbor OF
safety the can became united and the instru-
ment Of torture was left in the rear. That
animal has not been seen on Carson street
since.

The tramps are beginning to give the peo-
pie of st. Paul a great deal of trouble, and the
number of these wanderers is increasing
much faster than they ought to. Fifteen dill
ferent complaints were made at police head
quarters, yesterday, by persons living in
various parts OF the city OF annoyances sui-
fered by the presence ottramps. One of these
complaints came from the St. Paul Plow
Works, lower town. In this the writer says
that a gang OF tramps made their headquar-
tiers in the stock yards in the vicinity OF the
pillow works, and that they are very trouble
some. The writer, in closing his communi-
ton, asks the chief OF police to clean them
out .-Pioneer-Press.
How will the chief of police ''clean
them out = If he drives them away
from st. Paul they must lnfest some
other quarterl The remedy is u res
toration of prosperity to the country.
These men are tramps simply because
those who formerly employed them
have either been driven into bank
ruptcy or forced to withdraw from
business through the pressure of the
Republican party's Wall Street legis-
lation. Give us good times again and
st. Paul will be troubled with no
more tramps.

There is a great deal of curiosity
to learn what it was that dissolved
the ancient firm of Todd and Steb-
bins. There is a report in Hastings
that Steb. took in a counterfeit one
dollar bill and that that "busted the
firm" Todd insisted that Steb.
should make up the loss, and ne,
Todd. would keep the bill to this
Steb. objected, az he knew that Todd
would never lose anything by that
bill. Finally Steb. sold out his inter
est for the bill and withdrew.
Tut there are others who assert
that the dissolution is all bogus, and
that Steb. hiss got it up to create
public sympathy. SO that he may be
elected City Justice. We don't be-
lieve this.
For our part we pity Steb. When
we first knew him he was an honest:
upright man, devoted to principle.
But Teddy has been his evil genius,
his Mephistopholes his bette noir. He
degraded Steb's moral nature sep.
Grated him from his friends blasted
his reputation, and has kicked him
out in his old age to make his living
at the case in the very office which he
established. This kind of treatment
drove Horace Greeley to the mac
house. Steb's coarser sensibilities
will, we trust, save him from a like
fate.
