have passed very stringent laws against
that perpatetic nuisance, the tramp.
These laws exempt those physically un-

fines and penalties upon that worthless,
rascally vagabond, the able-bodied
tramp, who wanders about because he is
too lazy to work and too cowardly to
drown himself

The wind storm that visited this sec
ton last week proved to be regular
cyclone in the northern part of the State.
The Atchison Champion has adyices from
different points from which We gather
the storm was the most severe that
has visited that section for years. Full
details have not vet been received but
enough is known to render it certain
in its wide destructiveness and extent it
is almost without \ parallel. We have
already received accounts Of its ravages
ut Dawson's Mills, Nebraska, on the line
of the A. & n. railroad; at Beatty. on
the st. Joe and Denver road; aud at
Irving, on the Central Branch road. The
storm came from the southwest, and as
the points first and last named are about
fifty miles apart, its destructive effects
must cover at least that extent of coun-
try. The most serious disaster is report
ed from Irving, Marshal county, a -four
ishing and beautiful town on the Central
Branch road, aboHt ninety miles west of
this city. At that point twelve persons
were killed snd about forty-nine wound
ed, and thirty or forty houses were blown
down. including two churches and the
school house. Several OF these buildings
were stone, substantially constructed.
At Beatty q number Of buildings we're
blown down. At Dawson's' Mills the
Catholic church was destroyed, and
several stores and private residences were
blown down. The accounts from off the
lines of railroad are meagre, as yet; we
have accounts of the destruction of five
or six farm houses between Irving and
Beatty, attended with number Of cas-
usIties. The storm extended east from
Irving as far as Franklin, a distance of
twelve niles, and at the last mentioned
place mucl damage was done. and sew
eral buildings we're wrecked. TWAS also
very severe at Centralia. still farther east,
where serious destruction of property is
reported, bpt no lives were lost or per-
son injured. =

Mary Clemmer writes to the n. Y. In
dependent all about the closing scenes of
the last session of Congress She starts
out thus:
Gazing upon the average American who
crowds the corridors of the Capitol on the
last day of the session, it is impossible to
believe him the fraction Of a civilized ma
ton. Year after year the fact is patent
that during the last week of the session
the entire Capitol is given up to dirt and
Generalization. Nothing in their way
could be more exquisite than the stair
cases of tinted marble leading to the gal
leries of both Senate and House. Yet
had they been tottering stairways, lead
ing to dens of dissipation, instead Of to
the highest legislative chambers of the
nation, they could not be more defiled
than they are to-day. From base to sum-
NIT they reek with tobacco. 1t drips
from their edges and is piled in "quids"
in their corners, while the spittoons that
line the way would disgrace pot house.
'Tis not perpetually thus. The corridors,
always thronged, are mobbed but on "spe-
cial occasions" Repeated yearly, the
close of every session rivals an "Inaugur-
alton" in the multitudes that it brings
together in this Penetralia of the Nation S
life. If they were but little cleaner,
one possibly might grow poetic, if not
patriotic, at the sight. But with tobacco
reeking under your feet; tobacco spurt-
ing diagonally on your pretty clothes /;
tobacco making the air blue with smoke
and foul with smell, over acres of marble
that should be stainless as your con
science, altogether it is quite sufficient to
make you doubt the civilization of the
people who claim to be the "mightiest"
on the earth. To see the sight the Capt.
tol presents to day, one can only wonder
that the fierce war that in periodic
spasms attempt to blot out "intemper-
ance' does not inclnde the tobacco i'm
temperance. Why forget the tobacco
inebriate? His nicotined beard and brain
his palsied nerves. his poisoned blood
cry out for your pity, while his presence
makes itself sure of your disgust. If
liquor slays it's tens of thousands tobacco
blurs, blunts, and destroys scarcely less
of the most sensitive and fnely-organized
creatures of the human race. To behold
this vice blossoming in mighty, yet loath-
some aggregate, come to the Capitol of
the United States the day Congress

THE RESTLESS COLORED MAN.

A rumor was started among the colored
people of the South, short time ago,
that all who desired could obtain free
transportation from st. Louis to Kansas,
the object being to found colonies of col
ored people in that State. AS a result,
there was a large influx of colored peo-
pie into St. Louis, where, of course, they
learned the falsity of the report There
seems to be an overpowering desire on
the part of the Southern blacks to "get
out of that" Although familiar with the
climate, the people and the customs of
the Southern States, the spirit of the
freedman scars above and beyond
the narrow limits of the old familiar
cotton-patch. He wants to see more of
the world; he yearns for new scenes, a
broader civilization, and greater freedom
of thought and action; every familiar
scene which now greets his eyes suggests
some painful episode in the to him dreary
past. We believe that all that keeps a
great body of the colored people in the
South today is the lack of means neces.
sary for their removal
1t may be that herein lies the founda.
tion of what will eventually be the means
of wiping out the "colorline' in the
Southern States. Once get tide of
emigration of the colored people of the
South toward the great West, and it will
not be many years before the planter,
the merchant, the politician, the bull.
dozer, the poor white, the loafer-every
body in the Southern States will be i'm
ploring the colored man to remain, and
abide with them in peace. They see in
this restlessness of the colored man the
hand of Destiny. The removal of the
black from the South means the curtail
ment of the political power of the white.
The black man is hated, but he is a nee
essary evil. They want cheap labor in
the South, and after once getting the
poorer class of colored men in debt which
is easy of accomplishment, they (the
whites) can manage them pretty much
as they please.
That the colored race may continue to
exist, in its present condition. in the
South, is possible, but Christian people
have an abiding faith that He who noteth
the fall of the sparrow cannot but have
in store some better fate for these His
lowly children.
