a contemporary says:-The Sprague, Conk-

the magnificent and brilliant Sprague. Chase
wedding ut Washington some dozen or more
years ago. The father of Mrs. Sprague, Chief
Justice Chase, was a prominent aspirant for
presidential honors, and the then Senator
Sprague was in the zenith Of his glory, WELD
ing great political influence, and having mil.
lions Of money at command. But the few
intervening years have brought great changes.
The millions have vanished; high hopes and
ambitions have proven naught but bitter dis
appointments, and even the rosy skies OF
welded bliss have grown dark and clouded
with domestic broils and marital infelicities.

on the 18th, and to escape its penalties the
tramps within her borders have hied
themselves to other States with gait
rapid and steady, Carroll county has re-

creatures Westminster has re ,eiyed an
undue proportion. They have been beg
ging in one part of the city aud spending
their aims in another part for liquor
When they cannot beg what they require,
they steal, and if something is net done
speedily to check their career protective
societies will be in order.
The worst punishment for tramp is to
make him work, and few sent to the
House Of Correction would have benef-
eial effect in making others shun Carroll
Justices Of the Peace everywhere, when
ever the law will warrant, should send
these worthless Migrants to the House Of

The Agricultural Department at Wash
ingion has been gathering labor statistics
throughout the country. From these il
appears that there is almost everywhere
good demand for labor, and there seems no
doubt that the condition of the agricultu-
raj class is steadily improving along with
that Of the rest of the country. T..ere is
now no excuse for tramps. Those who
will work can End employment, unless in
exceptional cases. Those who will not
work, but lead yagrant life, should be
arrested as yagrants aud made to work in
some penal institution. Nothing short of
this will break up the yagrant lazaroni
who are a source of so much annoyance.
