A CONFEDERATE GEOGRAPHY has been
brought 10 light by a correspondent Of tho Chi
cago Tribune. 1t WAS printed in England for
use as text book in southern schools, and was
written by the Rev. X. j. Stewart. The title
was "a Georgsphy for Beginners" and the pub
Usher was j. w. Randolph. The edition. con-
sisting Of several thousand volumes, was captur-
ed by United States man. Of war, and sub
sequently sold in tho North for song. Among
the many amusing passages is this: I'm 1856:
the government of tho Confederate States WAS
duly established at Richmond, Va, under tho
constitution which had boon adopted by the SOW
eral Statee with the inauguration OF Jefferson
Davis as President for torn of six year; Al
exandor II. Stephens as Vice President Eyery
effort that human ingenuity could contrivo or
immense resources Of money and vast arma.
ments on sea and land could accomplish, was
made by the northern governmontto TO capture tho
Capital and other important places and break
up the political organization Of the Con(edorscy.
But by tho constant, evidont, and acknowledged
aid Of tho God of Battles, these efforts have all
failed, and, at vast cyponse of suffering and
blood, the people of the Southern States have
fought their own way to political independence
and the respect and amity of the great nations
of tho world" Tho logical process by when
the author sought to provo that Richmond was
destined to be the great city Of tho Conioderacy
was rather curious: "All tho great cities OF an
cient times were south OF latitude 10' Mas

ORIGIN OF TnAMps. .-Tramps arc traced to

was full Of wandering moo, who had no occu-
patton and could give no account OF themselves.

mobiles whom Henry VII forbade to keep their
monstrous military rctinucs They were broken
men, who no longer dared 10 wear the ''livery'
of some great man. and the badges which had
once won for them impunity and consideration.
The feudal strife was over, their arms and
swords were no logger needed to fight for one
or the other Rose, and beyond fighting they
had no profession. Others there were who bad
been turned out of their farms when some rich
landholdcr made Enclosures and threw arabic
lands into pastures. The feeble Dogbcrries
and Verges of tho time could not deal with
these reckless and useless rogucs. The Govern
