Ogden Outlaws.

From the Ogden Herald of the
I'd instant we learn that number
of tramps arrived in town that
evening and created a tremendous
excitement, which lasted about an
hour. They were under the i'm
preston that they were "Monarchs
of all they surveyed" and could
PROSTATE themselves upon the whole
town; but the only thing laid down
on by them was the cell floor of a
jail. After they had 1mbibed a
sufficient quantity of Ogden Whis-
key they sailed forth confident that
they could lick the first person
they met. The first ones
they encountered were boys
whom they assaulted most
brutally and cOwardly, the adults
interfering were either knocked
down or dealt a brutal blow. The
tramps were armed with clubs, pis-
tolls, knives, razOrs and stones, and
defied the whole town to arrest or
lick them. They intended to run
the town.
Mr.. Charles Welch had just en-
tered the meat market of Mr.. Bel,
on business, when a stone hurled by
one of the rabble passed Though the
wire gauze door and struck Mr..
WEIGH on the nose, cutting and
fracturing his probOscis very Sc
verely. 1t is probable that if the
force of the missile had not been
broken in its progress, Mr.. WEIGH
would have been fatally wounded.
He went outside to demonstrate
with the perpetratOr of the das-
tardly act when he received a vici-
Gus blow in the face from the fist Of
the tramp.
A young man, Mr.. Chas. Butz,
stepped up to protect Mr.. Welch
from farther violence, when the
brute struck at Butt. The latter
warded off the blow, and struck
the tramp "stunner" on his eye,
which drew blood.
But Butz Immediately received a
blow from behind by another tramp,
who struck him on the head with a
stone or piece of brick, making a
very painful wound.
The scene now became tumult-
Gus and threatening to the peace
of the city. Many hundreds of peo-
pie had gathered to the place
between the Chamberlin House and
the Catholic ChHrch-and several
citizens stepped forward to arrest
the rioters. The rioters resisted ar
rest, and other conflicts ensued, but
after much struggling, kicking,
dealing, and parrying blows, Officer
J. M. Brown and citizens Dick Nc
Carly livingston, J. II. Trotter,
and others arrested three Of the
roughs and locked them up in Jail.
The people of Ogden are becoming
afraid-and not without cause-of
these punchers of COW flesh, and
want a reduction in the number of
such dregs of humanity. Give 'em
pills with Colts improved injectors,
for it is sure to cure or kill. On
Monday night a man was stopped
on Fifth street and compelled to
give up a dollar, which he did, and
vanished.

GO AWAY.

With bumpy swish and a curtlled roar,
Sweet Mary's churn goes drumming:
Young Reuben leans on the low half-door,
And hopes that the buffers coming;
Then signs and signs, and drops his eyes
What words can his feelings utter?

And make me into BUTTER.

He takes the hint and he takes a kiss,
With fears and inward quaking:
She does not take what he takes amiss,
Nor seem in an awful taking.
Sweet kisses he takes so loud and fast
That he takes b breath completely.
He takes her tight In his arms at last,

The heart OF the boy Is wild with Joy;
He has won her-his bird, his fairy;

Certain philosophers have held that
the souls of men after leaving their
bodies pass into the bodies of animals,
and, disclaiming any arbitrary basis for
this belief, they support it by the fact that
able correspondence of the traits Of
character in certain men and certain
animals. But II their theory is correct,
is it not reasonable to suppose that. the
current of metamorphosis might, under
certain conditions, flow toward the man
as well as from him. and that he might
acquire qualities resembling strongly
those which distinguish various genera
of animals on a lower plane than that
occupied by man? Assuming that this
may be 50, we are advanced q stage in
the problem OF accounting for Robe
son. His attributes are essentially croc-
odilean. That he belongs to the reptil-
ian family in politics has long been ev-
ident to the most Indifferent observer.
That he is pachydermatOus must also
be acknowledged by any one who has
made study Of his nature. But he is
not allied to the elephant, the rhinoce-
ros or the hippopotamus in this respect.
He is far more scaly than any of them.
Smite him anywhere upon his moral Gu
ticle, even with the cudgel of most
damaging facts. and he will turn with
IS evil, but unmoved smile as that
which illumines the countenance of .
denizen of the Nile when his hide
has been tickled with q bullet. Like
him. too, he is sly, treacherous and
greedy, amphibious in his knavery and
equally deceitful in his expression Of
emotion. the emotion of selfishness be-
ing the only one he ever experienced.
How he ever found Judgment in this
country is more than we can tell, and
yet he seems to revel in the overflow Of
the national stream of wealth, or he
loves to bask in the ooze and slime of
the stagnant lagoons that catch such
side currents as break banks when the
straining volume passes through the
regular channel. We might be equally
at q loss to account for the ascendency
that he has attained in politics and the
difference that is paid to a character like
his by his psrty, but we believe the

The Original Bootblacks.

We believe New York claims to be the
place where the street bootblack first
appeared. but the professional bootblack
is essentially q Boston institution. At
first the business was associated with
embarrassing, chimney-sweeping,
clothes cleaning, and waiting and tend
ing, and the principal localities were
Lindell Street, now Exchange Place.
Franklin Avenue, and Brattle Street.
In time, however. it became a distinct
branch, and many of the bootblacks of
that day acquired a handsome independ-
ence and became real estate holders.
The custom then was to call at the
homes of the gentry, take the boots and
shoes, string them on long poles and
carry them to their respective places of
business, polish and return them at an
early hour the next day. These poles
would hold dozen or more pairs, and it
was novel sight to see the bootblacks
passing to and fro. The boots were AL
most invariably BACKED on a tree last.
Most of the blacking was done by the
week or month, and the bills sent in
were curiosity in their way. But those
were good old times. The boot-poIisher
OF that day was an important factor in
fashionable life, and the shine on a gen.
boot marked his social standing
as much as the cut and quality of his
coat, the style of his beaver, or the per-
lection of his linen.-B Boston Traveller.

"A South Carolina gentleman recog.
nized in person who sat with him al
the hotel table the alms-taking deaf and
dumb individual whom he had seen a
few days before at neighboring town.
After observing that the lately afflicted
man could both hear and speak, he con-
graduated him with genuine sincerity on
his miraculous recovery. The miracu-
lously-recovered regarded the exhibition
OF kindly interest as an expose of du-
plicity. and thereupon thumped the
aforesaid gentleman numerically. This
may possibly demonstrate the workings
OF guilty conscience; it certainly has
taught one man to be less mindful of
the worldly affairs Of his fellow men. -

The New York Financial and Com
mercial Bulletin concludes that the pres
ent promises to be a season of plenty, as
regards agricultural products. almost
everywhere in this hemisphere. The
latest Buenos Ayres journals speak in
terms of positive enthusiasm with re-
spect to the abundance of their crops.
The wool clip has turned out beyond the
most sanguine expectations, being some
%, COO bales in excess of that of last
year. The chief export trade at present
is in maize, the total export of which
this winter, it is estimated, will reach
200, 900 tons. This cereal is said to be
of superior quality, and as the soil
and climate are admirably adapted
TO its cultivation, immense
crops in the future are looked for. The
sugar harvest is just beginning, and so
rapid is the growth of this industry that
the crop this year is estimated at one
million arrobes, against fifty or sixty
thousand two years ago. The wines of
the interior are also coming into great
competition with those of Europe, and
and in few years more there is reason
to believe that the present great import
trade in wines and sugar will be reduced
to nil, owing to the enhanced volume of
home productions.

There is a chance that beef viii yet be
lower than it was when the COW jumped
over the moon. A Chicago special says
that within the past few days several
large droves of far West cattle have ar
rived in that market, and the season may
now be regarded as fairly inaugurated.
Advices from the plains are all to the
effect that the cattle were never in better
condition at this stage of the year, and
that the number to be marketed is much
larger than ever before. Estimates OF
the increase vary from fifteen to thirty
per cent, and it is safe to place it at fully
twenty per cent. During the season,
which ends about November /, Chicago
will probably receive not less than 175.
600 head of the plains cattle, and as the
receipts of native grass cattle also bid
fair to be larger than ever before, there
would seem to be substantial reasons for
anticipating comparatively low priced
beef during the next hundred days.

False Assumptions as to the South

ANetSttNseNNftk
The average production per acre of
grain in South Carolina is not large.
When therefore an increase of nearly
100000 bushels of wheat and oats is
announced the fact is very significant.
The Columbia Register shows that the
assured aud probable increase in the ag
ricultural products for 1882 over 1880,
itself a fair year, is in round numbers
10, 900 600 bushels. This is an increase
of nearly one third. This does not be
token either dissatisfaction among labor
ers or wasteful and improvident manage
ment in landed proprletOrs. 1t shows
exactly the contrary. Yet it is in the
midst of this sort of material results that
the country is asked to believe there is
nothing but cruelty and injustice to ne
groes and idleness and prodigacy of the
whites. 1t may be asserted with entire
confidence that no State in the Union,
without the aid of large immigration,
can make such a showing of improve
ment in agricultural production { n the
exceptionally prosperous year of 1880.
Yet this is the state in which the coun
try is asked 10 believe that BULLDOG
ing, cruelty and inhumanity are most
ruthlessly practiced by the whites
upon the blacks. 1t is from States IN
this happy material condition that the
Radical House of Representatives finds
reason to reverse the popular Judgment
and give a negro, defeated by 5000 ma
iority, the seat to which white man
was chosen. The thing is in itself too
gross to excite other than feeling of in
dignation and disgust, and every col
lateral fact tends to strengthen the
prima facie case. The entire proceed
ings respecting the condition OF the
South are shown to be based upon an
assumed condition of things which the
material facts prove to be utterly false.

Commenting on Attorney General
Brewster's decision, that member of
Congress is not Federal officer, the
Conservative Republican New York Post
saws: THE action Of the Attorney Gene
raj is. of course, a notification to the
District Attorneys throughout the coun-
try that they need not trouble themselves
about indicting anybody under the act.
This is, to say the least, very unfor-
tunate, since what is imperatively needed
is a judicial construction of the act. The
Attorney Generals idea seems to be that
the meaning of the statute is so per.
fectly clear that it would be mere
waste of time to 60 into court with it.
Some grand jury may yet, however, take
a different view of the matter, for fOrtu-
nately not even an opinion of the At
torney General can prevent grand jury
from finding an Indictment if they desire
10 do so.

The North is getting alarmed at the
practice of its own faith. In fact it is
being hoist with its own petard. For
instance, a citizen of Westchester county
thus writes to the New York World:
THE practice of miscegenation is
becoming alarmIngly prevalent through
out our country, and several cases have
come within my notice recently in our
own parish. As the question is un-
doubleday one of momentous conse-
quence to the rising youth of our coun-
try and the ultimate welfare of the white
race, think it wise to call the attention
of thoughtful men and women, not of
this church alone, but of all Christian
denominations, to the growth of this
monstrous evil, and urge upon them to
discountenance, disapprove and prohibit,
as far as in them lies, the practice of this
and Indignation is brought to the cheeks
of refined and sensitive persons by wit
Messing the famiiiarities of white women
with black husbands in public places,
and the withdrawal of an entire family
from the church they love, deferring the
confirmation of one of their number
from the fact that these same miscegena-
tionists are in full communion in the
church, it is quite time to cry out and
sound the alarm. Let the remedy be
applied ere it is too latel Let the
churches speak out aud tell us their posi-
ton on the question.
