Trnmns Capture 3 Train.

q Last night sixty or more tramps camped
at Bartlett and made themselves as easy
and comfortable as big fires and shelter
ing trees could afford. This morning they
boarded the incoming freight train on the
Louisville road and refused to obey the
conductor, who ordered them away. The
leader Of the gang, in behalf of his fellow
tramps, replied to the conductor, go TO
hell, or any where else you pleased You
may take this train to Memphis or any
where else but we are going to ride on it
Owing to the number Of trpmps the
conductor was unable to force them from
the train, which proceeded to this city.
The tramps disembarked in the outskirts
of the city. Last night Butler & King,
colored men, lost a quantity of fresh
meat, which they found this morning on
the train, where it had been carried by
the tramps, The meat was recovered.
The citizens of Bartlett fear that the
tramps this winter Will give them some
trouble, and it Is deemed advisable to or
ganize a special police to prevent out
RACES. 1t is said that the railroad lines
are crowded with these homeless wan
derers. fr

Here history refutes a common err
ror. Instead of being at all a pecu-
liar feature Of Moslem society, harem-
life-without its polygamic extension,
but with the recognized practice of
cOncubinage-was essentially a Bryan
tine institution, and long before ever
Turk set foot in Europe had spread as
a high domestic fashion-nearly as
strong as that which now obtains
among the Ottomans-northward even
into Russia. Indeed not this alone,
but nearly all the other usages of
Turkish society which seem most
opposed to modern Christian ethics
and civilization were prevalent
throughout Asia and, as regards
most of them throughout Europe too
centuries before Gilman first set
tied Bithynia, and, with hardly an ex-
ception, were found in especial vital
ity in the Lower Empire by Amurath
and Mohammed III. Eunuchs, a ne
cessary element of the harem system,
infested the court, and patrician
palaces of Rome itself from before the
days of Elagabalus, and twelve centu-
ries later were still as necessary adj
%iuncts ofthe establishment Of Byzan-
tine grandee as they are now of any
harem in Stamboui. The " neutrals,"
indeed, who waited on Anna Commend
aud the Byzantine ladies for 300 years
after her, were white ones from the
Caucasus, between which and Con-
stantinople a brisk slave-trade had
been kept up centuries before the
Crescent displaced the Cross from St.
Sophia. Those " vermin of the East
therefore no more came in with the
Turks than did the system of which
they form a part. On the contrary, to
the latter belongs the credit Of having
at length mitigated the social horror
by selecting its victims from among q
lower type of humanity. Slaves Of
| this class are now exclusively Afri-
can blacks struggled through Egypt
from the Soudan. Till within a few
years ago their m~utilation commonly
took place at Assiout and other sta

this infamous industry, and the whole

The Avalanche says: "If the sheriff
issues a certificate of election as loterial
representative to II. B. Ramsey, it is said
that Cecil Moore will contest his election,
on the ground that in Fayette county a
large portion OF the vote allowed Mr.,
Ramsey was cast for II. D. Ramsey, a
mistake having been made in putting his
name on the election tickets there" If
the Avalanche man viii read the law,
which was published in Fridays LEDGER,
he will see that the sheriff is not author
lied to issue a certificate of election as
foater to Mr.. Ramsey or any other man.
The Moore threat and the desire to "count
him in" will have to be hurled at the
governor instead of the sheriff.

Acquiring the Languages.

An educational question ofsome impor-
lance has arisen. II is whether French
can be taught TO pupils of other nation
alties by teachers of that nationality as
well, or better than it can be taught by
F%renchmen2 On II hand it Is urged
that the correct accent and the idiomatic
phrnseology can be impaired only by one
to the manner born. On the other side it
is argued that given an Englishman, Ger
man, Russian or American, who thor
oughly understands and perfectly speaks
French, and his pupils in his own country
will be better taught than they could pos
sibly be by q Frenchman. Wethink this
is very probable. In Germany, where
French Is very generally taught, the
teachers are almost always Germans and
the experience Of travellers will bear Us
out in the opinion that an educated Ger
man in speaking French peaks it per-
fectly. SO, also, with the Russians-who,
however, possess an exceptional facility
for acquiring languages. II is not at all
uncommon to find a Russian who speaks
French, German, Italian, Spanish and
English, not only with grammatical cor
rectneas, but with n perfect command of
accent and idiom. The difficulty with
Frenchmen rs teachers Of their own Ian
guage to English-speaking pupils is that
generally they do not know Englith well.
But our difficulty here ia 10 find Ameri-
cans who know French well enough to
teach il.
