How Two Tramps We're Disposed OF.

The intelligence was received in this
city yesterday that a farmer, whose name
could not be learned, residing at VOL
colt, a little station situated between
Faribault and Medford, on the Iowa d.
vision of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul Railroad, had administered a
lesson to two tramps, that by reason of
of its severity will never be appreciated
by them in this world, but will have a
wholesome effect in lettering others
from attempting similar crimes. The
two tramps above mentioned, under
cover of the darkness, entered a wheat
field where self-binding harvester had
been at work during the day, and deiib-
erately piling the newly cut grain ABOUT
the; machine, prepared 10 cremateYbeth
grain and harvester. Unfortunately Tor
the success of their plans, the owner,
whose suspicious had been aroused dur
ing thesdaE happened by with a double
barreled shotgun just as they applied
the torch, and with an impartiality
which did him credit, gave each the
contents of barrel. Result, two dead
tramps and a little damage to the grain.
The farmer hurried to Faribault after
the deed and gave himself up to the au-
thorities, but instead of being detained
was told to go back to his farm, and if
another such attempt to destroy his
property was made, to serve the perpe-
traitors in a ike manner.-St. Paul

Oyster Culture in China.

Like so many other peculiar things in
the Celestial Empire, the Chinese sys-
tenn of oyster-culture differs widely from
that of Europe or America. In the
southern parts of China collectors "
of bamboo are placed in the oyster beds,
much after the same fashion as the elab-
crate tiles and "hives" employed in
France. These bamboo oyster catchers,
however, are, prepared in curious man.
ner. The canes are exposed for about
two months to the rays of the sun, and
then placed for. the same period in salt
water, after which they are again dried
for several days. Notches are cut in the
canes, into which empty oyster shells
are fixed, and thus prepared they are
dnyen into the seashore between high
and low water-mark, and left standing
to catch the young oyster spat. These
localities are considered the best where
the rise and fall of the tide is the great
est, so that the bivalves may be alter
nately covered by the food and exposed
to the air on ebb tide. A large trade is
carried only these collectors, and sue
cessful oyster culturists are known to
have amassed, considerable fortunes
The young oysters seem to develop very
rapidly, and are ready for the market
whenstwo years old. Large quantities
of oysters are dried instead of being eat
en- in fresh state. For this purpose
they are taken from the shells, simply
plunged into boiling water and removed

MANS.

come not here TO talk
You TO death with a long speech,
You know too well the story of our thrall-
dom.
We are slavesi The bright sun rises
IN his course, and lights a race OF slaves
He sets, even as a hen sets, and his
Last beams fall on a slavel
Not such as swept along by the
Full tide of power, the conqueror Jed
To crimson glory and undying fame;
But base, ignobie slaves; slaves to a horde
OF petty tyrants, feudal despots, lords,
Rich i'm some dozen paltry villages
Bungtown, jug Ridge, swamp Hollow, Rab-
Pittsburg, and other places of like caliber-
Strong in some hundred spearmen; only
great
In that strange spell-a k-n-a-m-ei
Each hour, dark fraud,
GAS the New York san would say,
open rapine, or protected murder
Cry out against them. But this very day
An honest man, my neighbor Jones
There he stands-look Mt him free of charge,
Now that you have the chance,
For the time viii come when j am dead
When you can't gaze on an honest man,
Except inside of cage at n circus
This honest man, say, was struck, =
Struck on the side of the head
With "A rotten orange, by one who II
Wore the badge of Ursini, because, fOrsooth,
lie tossed not high his ready cap in air,
Nor lifted up his voice in servile shouts
At the sight of that great rufiiani
To tell you the great North American truth,
This honest man, my neighbor, there he
stands,
Had but one ready cap to his name,
And couldn't afford to take the chances
OF losing il by tossing il high in air
In a promiscuous crowd like that.
And a. for not lifting up his voice
In servile shouts, he had a bad cold
And couldn't have done it
Even If he had wanted 20.
Rouse ye Romans! Rouse We slaves
Have We brave sons? Look I'm the next
Fierce brawl TO see them cutting sticks for
Canada
Have ye fair daughtersy Look to see them
Live and elope with some miserable scamp
That hasn't a red cent to his namei
And yet this is Romei
And we are Romansi Why, in that
Elder day, to be even a Roman candle
Was greater than Kingi and once again
Hear me, We walls that echo TO the tread
OF either Brutus once again | swear,
The eternal city shall be free
To do precisely as the City Council directs
on CffU Derrick.
