The Massachusetts Tramp Act.

The new Massachusetts Tramp act, printed copies of which are now posted conspicuously along the highways of that Commonwealth, classes as tramps all persons who rove about from place to place begging or living without labor or visible means of support; women, minors under seventeen years of age, blind persons, and persons asking charity within the limits of their own cities and towns, alone excepted. Any tramp, upon conviction of being tramp, is to be sent to the House of Correction or State Workhouse for not less than six months nor more than two years. If he enters house without leave, or injures anybody, or threatens anybody, or has 8 dangerous weapon, or threatens to damage property, he is to be sent to the House of Correction for from one to five years, or to the State Workhouse for from one to three years. Upon view of any of these offences, any sheriff, deputy, constable, or policeman can arrest the tramp without warrant, and municipal, district, and police courts and trial Justices are given jurisdiction. Mayors and Selectmen are authorized to appoint special policemen to attend to the tramps exclusively. Finally, any tramp escaping from the State Workhouse renders him. self liable, if recaptured, to six months extra imprisonment.

Not at all Pleased.

Some thirty years ago, says Horatio Seymour, I learned valuable and very practical lesson in philanthropy. I had just been made Governor. and naturally thought was little smarter than my predecessors and must do something to show it. There was then a negro pris- oner in Auburn prison named Jack. do not remember what his crime was, but his pardon was asked for, and the authorities certified that he had behaved unexceptionally for twenty-one years. Now as did not know any white man who had behaved himself so long as that I thought I would pardon Jack, and I did so. remember that I plumed my self very much at the time upon my wonderful exhibition of philanthropy. But was doomed to be undeceived, and very speedily. In few days I got a letter from Jack, who wanted to know what he had done that he should be turned out of comfortable quarters in the middle of hard winter-adding that he thought the least could have done would have been to wait until spring. This took me down from my high horse, and I came to the conclusion that there are two sides to every question of phi lanthropy. Some of my Abolitionist friends-good men, but narrow in their views-used to say of me that I had g white face but a black heart, but il never troubled me, and I now see that they are quite unprepared to deal with the future of the negro in our land. ] wish it were not so, but we can't all be practical philanthropists.

Enh Horns Joke.

One Fourth of July Eph Horn, the noted minstrel, took tea box, upon its green sides he plastered the papers off Chinese 6re-crackers, exploded Catharine wheels, played-out gger-chasers, the blank cartridges of expended Roman candles. Great king it was formidable looking machine Attached to hole in the corner was foot of fuse. Eph, after the construction, took his diabolical looking affair out on the Bowery, in New York, and placed it on the car track. He then stepped back and warned off the first car. One man stopped; ten more halted; one hundred came to 8 standstil j; cars strung along for blocks policemen arrived and beat back the crowd; people rushed up stairs in their houses, and raised windows in view of the coming concussion. Once in while stage driver, more ventruesome than his fellows, held his head on one side, shut his eyes, opened his mouth, trusted in Heaven, and lashed his animals past the internal machine, whose fuse burned slowly and surely toward the dreadful engine of destruction.
 For blocks the avenue was crowded.
 s Fall back" shrieked the police, with uplifted batons. "A-o-w-w p screamed the women, with fingers in ears. The multitude surged backward as the glow ing spark crept up. A moment of awful suspense, and "ping'' went little fire cracker inside that big, hollow tea-box. And Eph, lowing to the immediate mourners, as if to say ( the performance is over" picked up the box, and, amid the excavations of thousands, took himself and his hoax out of sight.

Two Favors of Fortune.

A very curious, but undoubtedly true story is reported from Linden, Wyo- ming county, N. Y. Three or four years ago an old farmer named Michael Hyde, living near that place, died, leaving a farm, incumbered with mortgage of $500, to his widow and son. His widow was then over seventy-five years of age, and his son was fifty, and totally blind. He had been blind since he was ten years of age, having had the sight of the right eye destroyed by running stick in it, and the other being blinded by a cataract. Old MT. Hyde had been 8 soldier in the Mexican war, and son had been killed in the war of the rebel lion. A year ago, old Mrs. Hyde and her blind son, being in very destitute circumstances, as they were unable to work the farm proftably, friends inter- ested themselves in trying to obtain her pension from the Government. The mortgage on the farm was to fall due this spring, and no return from the pen sion matter having been received, Mrs. Hyde and her son had given up all hope of saving their home, and recently began to prepare for spending the remainder of their days in the poor-house. Michael Hyde could get about sufficiently to chop wood and to do little chores about the house. A few days ago he was cut ting wood on the wood-pile, when chip flew up and struck him on the ball of the left eye. He covered his eye quickly with his hand to ease the pain. When he removed his hand he was astonished to find that he could distinguish objects in front of him, and before he reached the house he could see quite plainly. At present his sight seems to be entirely restored to his left eye. Only the day after this singular change in the condi- ton of Michael, lawyer who had con ducted the pension business for Mrs. Hyde, called at the farm and paid her $1, 200 pension money.

The Senate resumed consideration of the bill to establish retired list for non- commissioned officers, the pending ques- ton being on MT. Allison's amendment to direct the President to appoint two colored cadets at large to Vest Point yearly. MT.

He did not favor the com pulsory appointment of colored boys. The Senate passed the Navy Appropria- tion bill without amendment.
 The Senate passed a resolution au- | thorizing the issue of rations to the suf- ferers by the cyclone, in the South and discussed bill for the relief of Ben Hal laday. MT.

Hamlin's bill to carry out any convention that may be reached between Nicaragua and the United States.

| A FAITHFUL POODLE. blind beggar frequented the Pont des Sts. Peres, Paris, where he used to station himself with clarionet and very intelligent poodle. The place was well chosen, and charitable contributions poured into the little wooden bowl which the dog held in his mouth. One day the blind man, who had reached an advanced age, was not to be seen. He had fallen ill. His faithful companion continued to frequent the accustomed spot, and the passers-by understood that his master was unwell, and, touched by his fidelity, dropped their pence into his bowl in increased numbers. After time the beggar went the way of all flesh, and the poodle was seen no more. The poor animal was found lying dead in 8 cellar near his former masters abode, sum of O,OOO francs in bonds of the Orleans Railway being discovered under the litter on which he was stretched.

 MT. King gave notice that he would call up the Monroe doctrine resolution on Wednesday, and 1t is believed that the resolution for the abrogation of the Clayton -Bulwer treaty, presented by MT. Cox for the Foreign Affairs Commit tee, will then be passed in connection with MT. Kings resolution.
 The House further discussed and amended the bill to amend the internal revenue laws, and MT. Garfield made statement of his position .on the wood pulp question, denying that he had pre- vented the House from being allowed chance to vote on the subject.
 MT. Orth obtained consent to make statement in regard to his connection with the Venezuela Claims scandal. Mr. Ellis introduced bill to establish pos tai telegraph, but the day was exhaus ted by the reading of all bills at full length.
 Mr. Orth made long statement in regard to the Venezuela claims scandal and MT. Springer promised to reply at another time. The message of the Pres ident vetoing the Immediate Deficiency bill was read and referred and the bill placed on the Speakers table. The pro- posed amendments to the bill amending the Internal Revenue laws were rejected and the bill passed. The Post Office Appropriation bill was discussed and amended.
 The House passed separate bill mak- ing appropriations for the public print ing, the amount being the same as that in the vetoed bill. The consideration of the Postofice Appropriation bill having been begun, the House was unwilling to lay it aside to take up the canal resolu- tions. The amount appropriated for railway mail service was increased to $9, 49O, ,O00, and long debate followed on the provisions of the bill relating to the increase of the rate of speed on Star routes. An evening session was held at which the bill to provide a municipal code for the District was discussed.
 The House agreed to the conference report on the Indian Appropriation bill and spent the remainder of the session in considering the Post-Ofice Appropri- ation bill. The clause relating to the reduction of increased pay on star routes was stricken out, but the friends of the Appropriation Committee afterwards rallied and inserted still more stringent provision

Could the people ask to substantiate the merits of Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines than the fact that they have not only yearly grown in popular favor in this country, but the foreign demand for them has become so great as to necessitate the establishing branch of the celebrated Worlds Dispensary in London, England, that these blessings to the afflicted may be dispatched from that greatest commercial center of the world to every country and people2 Golden Medical Discovery is 8 concentrated, potent, alternative, or blood cleansing remedy, that wins golden opinions of all who use it for all humors from the common pimple, blotch, or eruption, to the formidable scrofulous swelling.
