The Tramp Nuisance.

The Chief of the Massachusetts, State
Detective Force dev0tes an interesting
portion of his report to the Tramp"
In order to ascertain something definite
of the habits and characteristics of this
peripatetic nuisance, he sent two men
last summer on tramp in the western
part of the State, where they fell in with
one gang and another and travelled from
town to town. They were found to be
of various ages and nationalities, and in
most cases had in past years been en-
plOyed in some regular occupation.
They had been on the tramp for periods
ranging from two or three to fourteen
years. During the warm weather they
generally slept in barns or in the woods,
preferring to keep away from lock-ups
and station-houses. They obtained food
by begging and stealing, the latter
method apparently being preferred.
They were uniformly averse to earning
any thing by labor, and though, when
begging, they always professed q desire
to obtain work, only two were found
during q tramp of several weeks who
did not scout the idea of working for q
living and show a decided preference
for their vagabond life. 1t was clear
that lack of employment had little or
nothing to do with the wanderings OF
these Migrants. They did not seek en-
ployment and did not want it, but pre-
ferred to subsist upon charity and plum
der. One said that it was his habit in
winter to 60 to some large city and COM
NIT a petty crime that would send him
to some public institution to be taken
care of till warmer weather.
There was complete lack of moral
scruple among them, which showed
what dangerous element they might
become in the community. Not only
did they steal without the least com
junction, but there was no doubt that
they were ready for any crime that could
CRAFTY the passion of revenge or lust,
provided there was fair chance to es-
cape detection and punishment. In
many localities they were a terror to the
inhabitants, and obtained what they
asked fo- because unprotected women in
the houses which they visited did not
dare refuse. Several parties in July set
out for Pennsylvania to join in the rail.
road riots, and others waited about the
stations along the Boston and Albany
Road in anticipation of strike. 1t was
plain that their purpose was plumber,
and they were ready to take advantage
of any opportunity to join in lawless
outbreak. The Chief of the Detective
Force is of the opinion that the ''tramp
system" had its origin in the return Of
''bummers' and camp-followers from
the armies after the War. These men
had become accustomed to a life of va
grancy, and had no disposition to settle
down at any regular occupation, buttheir
ranks were soon recruited by the idle
and thriftless vagabonds, who now for
the most part fill the ranks of the
tramps.-BOSton Globe.

Rural Life in Italy.

The Italians live very simply. The
country people are content with diet
which most American farmers would
despise. They have four necessaries OF
life, the supply of which is always first
considered-bread, maccaroni, oil and
wine. The ordinary bread is coarse and
rather dark, but decidedly more nutri-
tious than that made from our finely
bolted American flour. We imagine
that bread is good in proportion as it is
white, and thus lose much of its best
property. The Italians sometimes cook
maccarOni in salt and water, from ne
cessity, but whenever possible, in meat
broth, with the addition of cheese and
tomatoes. The olive oil, which each
farmer makes for himself, is far better
and wholesomer than lard; in fact it is
almost equal to fresh butter Whatever
is fried in it is sweet, palatable and
easily digested. A great many Ameri-
cans, knowing olive oil only as medi-
cine, shudder when they hear it spoken
of as an article of food. Yet 1 have
often seen them, in Italy, heartily relish
ing their chops, and omelettes, and
fresh fish, without the least suspicion of
the fact that much of the flavor was due
to the oil. Wine is universal article
of consumption for man, woman and
child. Yet there is very little intemper-
ance among the people certainly not
more than one-tenth of what we find in
our own country. Wine, onions and
oil, to great extent, supply the place
of meat; but eggs and fish are also plen-
tiful, and usually cheap. The flesh of
pigs and goats-the raising of both ami
mails being little expense to even the
smallest land-owners-is much more
common than veal or beef. Old or dis
abled horses are fattened and slaughter
ed, and many an unconscious visitor to
Rome, Naples, or Florence, takes his share
of roast horse in the restaurants. After
little experience 1 learned TO distinguish
the flesh, and having no prejudice
against the use of it, I frequently order
ed it for dinner. 1t has coarser grain
than beef and slightly paler color;
The flavor is similar, but with a sugges-
lion of sweetness. If the horse be not
100 old, he furnishes really palatable |
roast.

Female Society.

You know my opinion of female So
ciety. Without it we should degenerate
into brutes. This observation applies
with tenfold force to young men and
those who are in the prime Of manhood.
For, after certain time of life, the lit
erary man may make shift "a poor
one, l grant) to do without the society
of ladies. To young man nothing is
SO important as spirit of devotion,
next to his Creator, to some amiable
woman, whose image may occupy his
heart and guard it from pollution, which
besets it on all sides. A man ought to
choose his wife, as Mrs. Primrose did
her wedding gown, for qualities that
"wear WELL" One thing, at least, is
true, that if matrimony has its cares,
celibacy has no pleasures. A Newton
or a mere scholar may find employment
in study; man of literary taste can re-
ceive in books a powerful auxiliary; but
a man must have a bosom friend and
children round him to cherish and sup
port the dreariness of old age.-John
Randolph.

kitchen, preparing some sort of soup
which exhaled the appetizing odor of
onions, and two children, boy of II
and girl of 8, were lowering around
with faces which expressed healthy
water, as supposed; but the dark
earthenware pitcher which he brought
was filed with cool wine from the cellar.
A plate, with slice of dark bread and
pinch of salt, was also placed on the
table. In answer to my question, he
informed me that the house and an ad-
joining field, oliye-orchard and vineyard
in one, containing some seven or eight
acres, were all his property. "Does this
give you a living?" asked. Eyes, we
can MANAGE" said he. "You see all

oil and eight barrels of wine in year.

have no doubt that this family rep
resented the circumstances of hundreds
of thousands of others throughout Italy.
The people work steadily, but not with
haste or energy; and they take their full
share of the many holidays which their
Church allows them. Their houses are
always solidly built of stone, and last for
centuries but only those who are in ex-
ceptionally good circumstances have
separate rooms for guests. Ordinarily,
tic neighbors come and 60, almost like
members of the family, sitting beside
the fire of faggots in the winter, or un-
der the vine trellis in the summer.
There are always few apple and fig
trees near the house. The latter bear
fruit twice year Tin June and October),
and contribute good deal to the daily
food of the people.
must not forget to mention three
other important articles of nourishment
in Northern Italy the pumpkin; in
Central Italy, Indian corn; and in Cor
sica and among the Apennines, chest
nuts. Pumpkins, cut into slices and
baked, are sold at the street corners,
and the inner kernels of their fat seeds
are as much relished by the boys of
Venice and Florence as peanuts are
by ours. At the cheap OPEN
air theaters, where children are
admitted for five cents, the gravel
floor is always covered with the bulls of
pumpkin seeds. The Italians know corn
as we'll as we do, and they would not
learn much from Mr.. Hewitt's proposed
missionary corn-restaurant at Paris, ex-
cept some new varieties of cooking.
They roast the green ears instead of
boiling them, and their favorite dish,
polenta, is a sort of thick mush, or
"pone," made of corn-meal, salt and
water. Italy is the only country in Eu-
rope where an American can get fried
mush, and quite as good as at home.
The chestnuts are very large-such as
we call "Spanish" chestnuts- ex-
ceedingly nutritious; they are not only
roasted, but ground into flour when dry,
and baked as cakes. In Corsica they
are more important crop than even
wheat; in fact, chestnuts are called
"Corsican bread. ''-Bdyard Taylor, TN
