Tramps and Their Signs.

NO." said the vagrant with sigh, 'times
are getting better, they're not what they
used to be, A mans offered more work than
wittals."
Haven't you signs amongst you so that
you know where to go, and how you will be
treated and all that sort of thing?"
"Weli, We each have signs of our own.
Ii see big, powerful bulldog hanging
around the front door, take that as sign

stout men In the next field to the house
that means too much gristle and too little
meat lfa large pile of cord-wood stands
by a house with buck-saw reclining against

we have lots Of signs-good, reliable signs

CINCINNATI, Dec. g. 1880.
The weather has been very chsngable this
week.
The pleasant weather last Sunday almost
tempted the people to believe that spring
had come instead of winter; but when they
awoke on Monday morning they found quite
different change.
The young ladies and gents of the West
End should take advantage of this weather
by spending their leisure time in that pleas
ant amusement-skating.
Mr.. G. w. Hayes, one of our prominent
men In Society, gave an entertainment at his
house, on Rittenhouse street, Tuesday Dec.
7th, to Miss Mosby and the Choir of the
Union Baptist Church, for which Miss
Mosby has been organist for some time, and
now leaves with many regrets.
The proposed Cantata of Daniel is pro-
crossing rapidly, about ffty-four singers
were out to the rehearsal last Wednesday
week, December lst. We are glad that the
young people have an interest in the
orphans.
Our city is well supplied with literary
clubs. Among the Aourishing at present
are the following clubs The Literary and
German, composed of young ladies and gen.
tlemen of The best talent of the city. l..
Optinea Literary Club is club composed of
young ladies and two young men belonging
to the senior class of Gains High School.
Mays and Hawkins, the big two. Who

INDIANAPOLIS LEADER.
Governor Porters plurality in
October was 6,953, and in November
General Garfeld's plurality was 6 1913.

Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, ap-
pears to be the great favorite of most
of our colored exchanges for the Cab
met port folio. The opinion that Gen.
Garfield will place colored man in
the Cabinet is universal among we'll
informed colored men. Senator Bruce,
by reason of his position as Senator
and the dignified and honorable man.
ner in which he bas discharged the
duties of his position, is undoubtedly

the most available man for the posi-
ton. With Senator Bruce in the
Cabinet, ex-Congressman Ramey, as
clerk of the House, and intelligent,
honest colored men honOrably and
substantially recognized in the vari-
Gus departments of the National and
State Governments, the Negro race
in the United States will enter upon
a new era of prosperity and will
struggle as never before to excel in
the virtues and noble qualities that
should characterize every true citi-
zen of the Republic.
The Indianapolis leader. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1879-1890, 1880-12-11

Believing that a good many of
our Cincinnati friends would prefer
to become regular subscribers for
The Leader, we have arranged with
and duly authorized Mr.. Herbert A.
Clark, of 29l Poplar street, to solicit
and receive subscriptions for The
Leader. We trust that the people of
Cincinnati have become sufficiently
acquainted with The Leader to un-
derstand that it is permanent insti-
tuition and that every subscriber will
receive the paper regularly during
the entire period of his subscriptions.
Our agent is authorized, however,
to take annual, semi annual, quarter
ly and monthly subscriptions, thus
making it possible for every family
to have The Leader by making the
trifling outlay of twenty cents a
month. The pay yments in advance
will enable us to make decided i'm.
provements in The Leader Ed

Mr.. L. K. Lewis will of course continue al

n hp COs.l lEiltsss
We have warm weather, consequently a
very limited demand for coal in the more do
nestle walks of life. The amount oFcoal be-
ing delivered from the yards in the large cities
is unusually small. The-consequence of this
is an urgency to sell, and, as coal production
keeps ahead of the sales, prices naturally are
heavy. An exceedingly dull coal market
characterized the trade all last week. AS to
prices we can say little of them. Most of the
companies have circulars out naming the
prices, but If a buyer shows himself on the
market the circular is not supposed to stand
in the way of trade. Still this condition of
the market does not repress the prospect o
good year for 1880. Operators argue that ii
partial resuscitatlon of trade for three or
four months near the end oflS79 increased the
coal traffic for the year by more than nine
millions of tons over the total product of 1878,
what may not naturally be expected under a
general revival of all business for the entire
year of 1850? Indeed, it is now believed that
the anthracite coal production cannot, taxed
| to its utmost, be made to equal the demand.
| A month ago it was estimated that the trade
was capable of putting into the market dur.
ing the year 1880 twenty-elght million tons ol
coal. On Saturday we had the Opir'ion Of an
Intelligent and Experienced coal operator on
this subject, and he was very decided that the
production of the year could not be swelled
beyond twenty-six and half millions Of tons,
and his own belief was that the limit would
be within twenty-six millions of tons. If he
! is right as to either of the twoamUunts named
one thing is very certain, namely, the price oi
coal is likely to be considerably higher at the
end of the year than it is now at the begin
ming. Just atpresent the coal trade is good
deal demoralzed, each seller of coal trying tC
undersell his neighbor, rather than wait and
hold for remuneratlve prices.-Ledger Mon
