A Tramp,s Fate.

tramp and his companions, camp
ing out near Steubenville, Ohio, a year
since, fell in with neighboring farmer
and his wife, an Englishwoman, who,
discovering that one of them was her
countrymen, took them all home and
gave them ravishing meal. The hus-
band finally induced the Englishman
to abandon his rough life and stay with
them. His wife's sister, a widow,
shortly after coming out from England,
fell in love with the reformed tramp and
at length married him. One day he re-
ceiVed letter from England in answer
to one of his own, informing him that
his father had been dead two years and
left him fortune of 10000. He then
disclosed his identity to his wife and
his friends. He was the son of super
inteadent of a public library in Eng
land, and having in consequence of his
fast life there quarreled with his father,
came to this country, where he spent
among dissolute companions the money
with which his father supplied him un-
til his patience was exhausted. For
five years he led tramp's life, until he
was at last provided with a home, a wife,
a fortune, and, it is to be hoped, q re-
formed and sensible mind.

A singular and fatal accident occurred
at Jackson, Miss, recently. Mr. w.
Bailey, chancery clerk Of Madison
county, in company with Mr., Il. Wharton,

rant. During the meal, while engaged
in friendly and sociable conversation,
allusion was made to the strange and
sad fate that befel the late Walter
Brooks, of Vicksbmg, who was choked
to death by eating an oyster. Mr.. Whal-
ton said something further, which dis
tracted Mr.. Bailey's attention and
caused him to laugh, and, few second
after, it was noticed that the latter gem
tleman appeared very sick, and was
gasping for breath. Mr.. Wharton and
others Immediately attempted to relieve
him by carrying him to the door and
slapping him on the back, but without
avail, Physicians We're sent for, but
before they arrived Mr.. Bailey was dead,
and it was beyond the power of medical
skill to revive him. he had inadvert-
emily swallowed a piece Of beef, which

The Drum.

The Drum.
Oh the druml
There is some
Intonation in the grum
Monotony Of utterAnce that strikes the spirit
dumb,
Az We hear
Through the clear
And unolouded atmosphere,
The rumbling palpitahons roll in upon the earl
And tho guest
OF the breast
That thy rolling robs Of rest
IL patriotic spirit as Continental dressed
And he looms
From the glooms
ofa century of tombs,
Aud the blood he spilled at Lexington in living
beauty blooms.
And his eyes
Wear the guise
OF nature pure and wise;
And the love of them is lifted to something
in the skies
That s bright,
Red and white,
With blur Of starry light,
as It laughs IN silken ripples to the breezes day
and night.
There are deep
Hushes creer
Der the pulses as they leap,
Aud the murmur, fainter growing, on the
silence falls asleep;
While the prayer
Rising there
Wills the sea and earth and airI
AS heritage to freedoms sons and daughters
everywhere.
Then with sound
As profound
As the thunderings resound,
Come thy wild reverberatons in throe that
shakes the ground,
Aud cry,
Flung on high
Like the flag 1t flutters by,
Wings rapturously upward till it nestles in the
sky. james w. Riley.

4 MISSING MIN.
In He the Same Johnson Who Died
in Philadelphia?

Three weeks ago stranger, whose
name was given as John Johnson AMI his
residence as Wilmington, died suddenly
in Philadelphia restaurant. The par
ticulars We're published at the time and
inquiries made which, however, did not
result in the discovery of any missing
John johnson.
Within the past few days it has been
learned, however, that one Isaac Johnson
is missing, who it is thought may pos
sibly have been the man referred to.
Isaac johnson came to the house of X. IL.
Taylor, No. 142 Jefferson street, in May,
1850, and boarded there until March 18th
last. Then, Taylor moved to No. 403
East Eighth street, and johnson went to
board at No. 4l9 East Eighth street. On
April 26th Johnson went to Philadelphia,
saying he would return on the following
Saturday at the fnrthest. Since then he
has not been heard from.
Isaac Johnson was an Englishman,
about 2s years old, worked at Edge Moor
and was afflicted with rheumatism, ON
which latter account lie had talked some
OF going to the Pennsylvania hospital for
treatment. lie had some money with
him and some coming to him from the
Edge Moor company. An English letter
for him arrived after his departure.

CUTRT


att.
Court met at 3 o'clock yesterday
week with but little business remaining
to be finished up before the final adjourn
ment.
A decision was expected in the Trinity
Church case, the arguments having been
closed before the noon adjournment, but
the Court informed counsel that they
would hold up the decision until Just
before the Court of Errors and Appeals
meets.
a few small cases on the trial list were
disposed of and then the bench aud bar
entered into discussion about the best
way to shorten the trial list and expedite
the court business.
The suggestion that met with the most
favor was that the members of the bar
should get together before the list was
printed and settle as near as they could
what cases should not be tried, and then
fix upon a certain time for the cases to
come on. II this should bc carried out
counsel contended that the term would
he shortened, costs would lie very greatly
lessened, and many questions which
ought to be settled by the Court could be
brought before that body for decision.
As it was, considering the uncertainty of
the chances of trial, many questions
were passed by by counsel when they
ought to he decided by the conrt,
No definite action was taken in the
matter. 1t will probably he worked up
by some of the elder members of the bar,
and the trial list will probably not again
have on it 222 cases, only IL of which are
actually tried.
\ committee consisting OF w. c.
Spruanoe, George Gray and &. II. Bates,
I.sqs., was appointed by til" Court to con
fer with n. b. Smthers and Edward
Ridgely, Esqs., of Kent, and Charles NJ.
Cullen and Jacob Moore, Esqs., of Sussex,
to revise the rules of the court. Judge
Wales will he asked to join the com.
mittee.
At 4.20 the court adjourned until the
third Monday in September, and thi,
ended the spring term of the civil court
hich had lasted nine days.

I
The New York Star is informed by
trustworthy correspondent, who is
friendly to Col. Ingersoll, that the latter
has a skeleton in his closet like other
people. He expects every time he delivers
lecture to be shot, and is uneasy at any
unusual movement in the audience. His
theory is that some religious fanatic will
fire at him. His tears are kept alive by
threatening letters which he receives by
almost every mail. He Jokes about
them, but with quivering voice and
averted eyes," 1t is certainly curious
that man who can defy omnipotence is
nervous over possible shot from re-
volver. We do not think he is in any
danger, though from his standpoint he
ought not shrink from the martyrdom
which he has so highly eulogized in
others. He has praised Diderot for
deeming the approval of posterity sufa-
cient recompense for all hardship or
danger incurred in the cause Of progress,
and what was enough for the Frenchman
should be enough for the American.
Still we do not think he will be called
upon TO test the case.
