Reply TO the Card Of Mar. III. A
Bradshaw.

did obtain this fellows subscription for Prof.
Fowlers work, at So so, and when filling other
orders faileI to find him at home. |, however,
stated plainly to the party who ] met at the
ranch that had not received sufficient stock
for filing those orders, but would forward his
book hy express rs soon as received.
| then exhibited several second hand books,
and sold for 81 Is u small atlas, which had
taken in exchange two hours before at 81 so,
the original cost being 81.
There was no misrepresentation in the case,
nor was there any reference made TO any sub
scripton or order.
A very civil letter to Mr.. Bradshaw stating
the facts fails to receive any notice at his hands.
His card is a gross injustice and a base lie out
of whole cloth, such as none but low-lived
reprobate would father by his signature for the
mere qualification of appearing as public
benefactor

A man at Chapmanville. Va, had a
chance to find out how long he could
stand on his toes. Robbers took his
money, hanged him TO a tree and left
him. By pressing his toes on the
ground he could relieve the choking of
the moose around his neck, and in that
way he stood for thirteen hours, but
was on the point of giving up when
help came.

ABOUT TRAMPS.
And the Rest way ro Get Rid Of
Their Presence.

We notice by the Kalamazoo Tele-
graph that q Justice there in passing n
sentence on seven tramps who had been
arrested there, got some facts from
them which are of interest in consider
ing the tramp question. Tramps as
class know all that is said and done
about them. They say that the New
Hampshire law against tramps Is ei-
fective enough because tramps don't
visit that State-it Is too far nOrth-the
villages too far n part, and the induce
meuts 10 the wanderer are too few; 80
that the law has the climatic influences
in its favor. Michigan, they say, knows
but little of tramps; il is a border State
too far north for the trade. On the
thoroughfares through Indiana, Penn
sylvania and Ohio to Chicago is the
place 20 watch tramps; more than two
hundred pass over that route daily;
and sometimes JO0l In answer to ques-
tions. these tramps said that the
tramps mostly came from Virginia,
West Virginia. Ohio, Indiana, and even
further south, and from some OF the
more northern States. Some men were
very bad, but the most part were home
less. merely desiring 10 be fed and al
lowed 10 pass on. There is n system
about the order, and they have signs
and passwords. For instance In
place down in Indiana, not long since,
a farmer was much annoyed by the
daily visits OF this beggarly tribe. he
procured big watch dog-full OF hus-
| mess. and thorough hunter OF va
