fFrom The Manchester y .h.l Union
In most states OF the Union stringent
laws have been enacted for tie suppression
OF what Is generally known ~ tne uauip
nuisance: and they have all 1Uss sseIJ-
where proved effective. But wf. 'e 'nv ~,
binary wandering vagrant, roalnh * a'y ~.
The country and securing subsistt us w, ~ ~
begging and petty offering, has d. en ~ 80
good measure suppressed, another Gun ~ -
iramps, who, II less numerous origina ~
are even more detestable, who may, perbapN
be characterized as the aristocracy oil tDeVa.
grant element, still inIest the land. These
are The professional deadbeais who 60
about from place TO place, deeeiying the
public with false yet plausible representa-
tions. claiming TO be engaged in some re-
spectacle calling or acting as agents for re-
sponsible concerns in one or another de-
partment OF business. These creatures are
not content with the manner OF subsistence
which satisfies the ordinary tramp. NO
"cold bites" on the back steps, with bed
on the bay-mow or in the fence corner Tor
them. They quarter themselves at hotels
or ffst-class boarding houses, aud when
fired out for non-payment seek new quar-
tiers with as much assurance as character
ICES the ordinary millionaire. They man-
age TO dress we'll, but no tailor ever sees
their money.
There are thousands Of these professional
deadbeats in the country. They iDfest
every State and almost every community
aud the assassin Guileau seems to have been
one OF the number for years past. IL Is
about time for the Inauguration OF stringent
measures for their suppression. Indeed, 1t
is about time for every State and munich
paIity to institute effective measures to com
pei every able. bodied man who has no yisi-
BILE means OF support 10 engage regularly In
some honest labor. Many OF the States
already have laws enacted for this purpose,
but they remain comparatively dead letter
upon the statute.bOok. These. and all laws
for the suppression OF vagrlncy in every
form. should be rigidly enforced.

Schenck Not Lager.

There has been temperance war in pro-
gress ia Paterson, N. j., for some time, but
one enterprising beer-Seller has persisted in
keeping his place open on Sunday despite
the efforts OF the cOnstables, claiming that
be sold Schenck beer, not lager beer. lie
has been arrested and brought 10 trial, and
was acquitted yesterday on the testimony OF
chemist. According to this testimony,
lager contains, by the beer scale, II per
cent. Of alcohol, whereas Schenck beer con-
tains only 10 or II per cent. AS the jury
acquitted the recalcitrant beer-seller, 1t is
evident that there must be a good deal OF
intoxicatiOn in per cent. Of alcohol.

News from a wasnington standpoint

Tne washington correspondent OF The
Alexandria Gazette says:
Mr.. JorgeDsen arrived from Old Point
this morning, but he has nothing fresh
about the political affairs in his State, say
ing that everyDody's attention there is en-
gross ed with the attempted assassination of
the President, and that politics are utterly
ignored for the time being.
IT appears that the Mahoneits who were
recently here, and who were reported to
have come for the purpose of securing The
influence OF what they supposed would be
new administration, continued their trip,
and Yesterday went TO Harrisburg, where
they called upon Mr. Cameron, who is their
firm friend ana supporter The untimey
and unseemly appearance OF these Malone
ties here, aud the abuse their Richmond
organ is said 10 be heaping upon Rev. DR..
Hoge, the distinguished Presbyterian
preacher of that city for his beautiful adj.
dress delivered at the citizens meeting
called to express sympathy with the Presi-
dent, are doing them no good abroad or at
home,

Dog Evidence.

Two men claimed valuable dog,
which one was accused of having
stolen, 1.-The dog having broken loose
and gone home to his master" Still
the thief persisted that it was his own
lawful dog, and the other man was
called upon to prove property.
Directly the master called the dog
to him and whispered in his ear, CIV
ing him at the same time a knowing
nod or two. That was enough for
good old Cesar. Up he stood on his
hind legs, and took stick in his
mouth, going through very curious
performance, which convulsed the
court with laughter. The master
spoke no words to him, but simply
guided him with his eye, and few
meaning gestures.
The dogs evidence was instantly
taken. 1t is not often dog is called
upon to testify in court room, bu:
this one was, and everybody was well
convinced that there was no decep-
ton about it.
remember reading long ago of a
murderer who was apprehended by
the dog of the murdered man. No
suspicion had ever fallen upon him
until the sudden fury Of the dog
whenever he came into his presence,
attracted attention. There must be
some cause for it, as the dog was gen.
tie and quiet towards others. Every
time he saw this man, his whole ma
ture seemed to change, aud he would
make savage dash at him as if to
tear him to pieces. So terrified was
the guilty man, that he confessed his
crime and suffered its just penalty.
l young man once lost his watch in
a large assembly, and stating the case
to the door-keeper, obtained permits
sion to bring in his dog for few
minutes. lie made known the loss
to the keen scenter, and presently he
was gliding around quietly among the
crowd, until at last he seized mans
coat skirts, and would not be shaker
off. The watch owner quickly ex'
planned, and the suspected person was
taken into custody, when it was found
that he was carrying on quite an ex
tensive business, as some half dozer
watches and various other valuable!
were found upon him.
