A DISSATISFIED TRAMP.

A gentleman attired in clothes which
had seen better days, called at the Iri-
bune on Saturday, with slip cut from
the paper, and asked to see the editor.
When his request had been complied
with, in a measure, he said, with with
ering sneer:
"Wot are ye givin' US, young feller,
hey, Don't you see what you're print
ing the paper' Look hero!' and he
rendered the reporter printed scrap,
which the reporter took between the
points of a pair of scissors, and scruti-
nized at a respectful distance.
This, my friend" said the reporter
to the representative Of the Hendrick B.
Wright interest, 'this, my friend, seems
to be an interesting item about an impe-
cunious gentleman in Winona, Mimi,
who weeded cucumber for his din
ner and sawed a cord of wood for his
supper, and whose demeanor so impressed
the woman of the house that she at once
wrote an account of the affair to the
Winona Republican. Are you the in

A SLAVE-AUCTION IN NEW
ORLEANS

There lies before us paper, yellow
with age, which recalls melancholy
scene which we witnessed in New Orleans
in 1855. 1t is the advertisement Of q
slave auction, with description and
catalogue of the property to be sold, and
some of the lots have marked against
them the prices for which they were
knocked off.
We shall never forget the appearance
of the poor chattels as they mounted the
block in succession and turned their anx-
ious, and in some cases terrified gaze,
from one bidder to another until the fall
of the hammer consigned them to new
master. There was here and there a
careless, laughing one among them, but
such were few. The auctioneer set forth
their merits in fippant language, and
made them jump and swing their arms to
show their condition, while the intending
purchasers felt of their muscle and ex-
amined their teeth, as if they had been
cattle. instead of men, women and chill
dren.
There were one hundred and seventy
eight slaves sold, ,one hundred and twenty

once more with harvest song and shout
Is natures boldest triumph told.

Like Ruth among her garuered sheavcs
Her lap is full OF goOdly things,
Her brow is bright with autumn leaves

The bounty overruns our due.
The fullneSs shanes our discomfort.
We shut our eyes, the bowers bloom on;
We murmur, but the cOrn-ears NIL
We choose the shadow, but the SUM-
That casts its shine behind Us still,
Gives Us, with our rugged soil,
The power to make ii Eden fair
And richer fruits to crown our toll
Than ncr.weddcd islands bear.
Who murmurs az his lot today
Who scorns his native fruit and bloom,
or sighs for dainties far away,
Besides the bounteous board OF homer
ThaEk heaven. instead that freedoms arm
Can change "A rocky soil to gold'
That brave and generous lives can warm
A CLINE with northern ices cold.
And by these altars wreathcd with flowers,
And fields with fruits awake again,

The earlier and the latter rain.

"A remarkable escape from death in
making an ascent of one of the peaks of
the Alps occurred few days ago. Herr
Gisler, the keeper of an inn' slipped on
a steep, icy slope and, losing his footing,
shot with frightful velocity in the direc-
ton of crevasse 40 feet deep and 6 feet
wide. As he neared the brink, however,
Gisler, who was a man of powerful frame
and great presence of mind, contrived to
spring to his feet, and clearing the crew
asse with bound, alighted unhurt on
the other side. where, the slope being less
steep, he was able to keep his footing

ESpuRANcE OF. a HORSE. -[Frou, the
Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, JANUARY
3d.]-The HayneYille Examiner states that
a gentleman OF. North Lowndes came to this
city some weeks ago. While, here he bought
a buggy and horse. On his way homeWard,
at Gunter's Hill, he got out OF bis buggy
for some purpose, and the horse ran off with
it. Darkness had set in, and the gentleman
looked in vain for his missing property. lie
went home and gave notice OF the escape,
and was much troubled at the failure to re-
cover the beast and vehicle. at last they
were found in the woods OF Pintlala Swamp,
near the place Of escape. The buggy had
become fixed among the trees in, such man; !,
ncr that the horse could not draw it, and
there the unfortunate beast had stood, with
out food or water, for ten days Though
emaciated and feeble, the horse was driven
home without being takelf from the buggy.
We. view this fact, which is ,youehed for on
,he hest authority. as a contribution to the
scientific knowledge: and speculation OF the
day, and hardly know OF parallel: ~ .

The THEATRE LAST NIGHT-MR. BANGS
Shakspeare's great play Julius Cnsar was
produced at the Theatre last night by Mr.
Ford's company, with Dlr. Bangs as Marc
Altony, Dir. kcene rs tassiuS, Mr.. Down
ing as Brutus, and Mr.. Hoey in the title
role. The audience was O splendid one,
especially when the weather is taken into
consideration. Nearly every good seat in
the dress circle, orchestra. and upper gal
leries was occupied. Quite number OF
ladies and gentlemen were in full evening"
dress, intend ding, it is said, after leaving the
Theatre TO go to party at the residence Of
a wealthy and popular tobacconist, on west
Franklin street.. Broad and Seventh streets
were each crowded for about square with
carriages. The hackmen certainly had no
reason 10 complain OF the rain, however un-
welcome it may have been to others-beauX
on small salaries particularly. 49,.
Mr.. Bangs labored under disadvantage OF
great hoarseness. Notwithstanding this, he
gained triumph. His appearance, naturally
1ne voice. and careful and intclligentreadirg
were well appreciated. MIR. Keene made all
acceptable Cass:us, and looked as ''lean and
hungry" as the occasion demanded. He Is
an actor Of many fine points, and only needs
to subdue himself a little in passionate
scenes to be very popular here. Mr. Down
ing as Brurus surprised even his best friends
by the excellence OF his acting. He is
making rapid progress. With his gifts OF
full, rich voice, and good presence, and the
study he seems inclined to give, it will not
be long before he advances to a notable po-
sition in bis profession. Mr.. Hoey's part
was not a very burdensomc one. lie acted
it quite satisfactorily, however.
The company Is fair one and much fuller
than any that has attempted julius Cesar
here in recent years. Marc Antony had
quite large crowd OF citizens TO address
over the dead body OF Cesar. The stage
appointments were better than usual there
were two or :iIrce new pieces OF scenery.
The audience was extraordinarily liberal
in applause. Messrs.. Bangs, Keene,, and
Downing were each called before the cur
tain. . .,,. .. . -.......... ..... =.

TSedala Democrat -
MIR. Henry Scissor, who travels for bis
father, Mr.. j. P, Selsor, sewipg-machine
agent, arrived 10 this city yesterday eve.
ming. and proceeded at once to .CllH0rd q
Co.'s drugstore to have several OF his frost
bitten members dressed. i....s1
A Democrat reporter, learning that o
man badly frozen had come in for medical
attention, found Mr. Scissor just after his
frozen parts had been dressed, and ELECTED
from him the particulars Of his narrow
escape from death:
Mr.. Scissor had been to Buffalo Mills, Nor
gan county, travelling in sewng-machine
wagon, and was on his way back TO this city
Thursday evening, when a boltto his buggy
broke on the high prairie between Brewers
and Bnschen's stores, in Benton county.
Scissor was warmly clad, and had taken the
nrecaution to tie silk handkerchief, folded
three or four times, around bis ears. His
throat was we'll mutfled with q heavy scarf,
and he wore warm pair OF gloves. Up to
the time O. rhe accident he had experienced
no inconvenience from the cold, and Jumped
ont to repair the breakage. His hands soon
became benumbed, and he felt Singing
sensation. in his ears and lower eXtremi.
ties. (, When be had fixed his. wagon ana
tried to get into it his limbs were SO oe-
numbed that they refused to. perform their
functions. Then it dawned upon, MI. Scissor
that he was freezing to death, and be; began
to move around to try to keep up circuia-
tion OF, blood. He moved elumsily and WITH
great ,elort, and, felt q, ,stupefactlon coming
O over him. He knew what this meant, and
determined to make another effort. The
plan presented itself to him that II bis
driying-reins were tong enough to reach
to the rear Of the wagon he could hold on
to the end-gate and BIZ. starting his horses
up could get up a circulation OF his blood.
With his left hand; " hich Syas not 50 mcly
frozen as his, right, he threw his. seins
back In the wagon, but discovered
they were 4 not / long enough to reach
TO the rear-end gate. He then thought Eoi
catching hold or the end-aate and driving
bis horses up any way, when he remember
ed that the team were ,runavayst ana re-
quired tight rein. He feared " ithey
should rna away they would ierli him down
and leave him lying in the snow to die,3 so
lie had totabandon that scheme. He stag
eered tp the forward part Of bis bnggy
again, and, feeling that he was groWing 3
weaser and Wsake cSasped hisnrm around Y
4he IN heel AID brscfd himself against sne
sbcd. AII the acts sos Mr. Scissor lfe. shen
