The market for the last week has been any.
thing but active. A gentleman connecteA
with the stock yards informed us maj tho
market was of about &c, and from the Isen'
eral appearance and number OF cattle Oh
hand, it looked as II there would still be
great reduction. The hog market Is really In
q worse condition thar the cattle. This Is
partially oV: ing to the sweeping reduciionsi IN
pricesof lard at Chicago.

THOSE WOMEN FOLK.
How Hard.Head Men Estimate Some
Things which They Den't
IuderStand

hhNNErtNhe'
Anybody who has led a domestic life knows
how common such things as the backache,
and pains in the chest, are among women
who do the work. Often-and perhaps gen.
erally-the distressesa are borne without much
complaint. The women get about, and the
machinery OF the house goes on. Beyond
this, those coarse grained animals whUm
New England women call "tne men folks"
seldom lock. So long as their wives or
daughters are not actually IN bed, under the
doctors care, the average thick-skinned nus
band aud fathcrgives the subject no atten-
ton. AT the same time the poor household
drudges-who deserve a better fate-creep
around, broo"1 or utensilsin hand, up STAIRS
down stair and out OF doors, doing that
womanS work which 'is never done.
Losses Of loved wives and fair girlS-loSSeS
whose suddenness and unexpectednesS aston

ers-fall, seemingly out OF a clear sky, and
form the logical sequel 10 the story neg

Now. YOU men who stand al the heads ~
ten thousan such homes, allow us TO drop a
word in your receptive ears. II these women
OF yours are worth having they are worth

For next to idleness, the tramp loves
rum. Next to rum, stale beer, its
equivalent of the gutter. To obtain it,
if begging fails, he will do the only
strokes of work of his useless life; not
much nor long at a time, but enough to
purchase one nights supply of the hor-
Tible stuffand a carOuse in the company
of his kind. A business that is not
recognized by the excise authorities,
and is invaded by the police semi-Oc-
casionally with no more effect than fol-
lows the commitment of the tramps to
the Island for yagrancy, feeds upon
this passion.
In the Sixth ward, down about the
"bend" in Mulberry street, is its head
quarters. In one block, between Bayard
and Park streets, there are said to be
thirty-two stale beer places. The owners
'swork their rOutesn during the day,
gathering the dregs from the beer-kegs
set out on the sidewalk in front of sa-
looms, carry it home in tin pals and
give 'ttOne'' to the foul mixture with a
little cream of tartar to make a froth.
At night their filthy dens in the base
ments or back alleys are crowded with
customers, who bring their beakerS, old
tomato cans, that have served them for
an occasional independent raid on a
convenient beer-keg during the day.
Two cents a glass is the price exacted
for the stuff, with the privilege of sleep
ing or sitting i'll the den as long as their
hard-begged pennies hold out, men,
and women packed as chance threw
them together.

AT this season the women prevail at
these carousals. In the winter the sexes
are about equally divided, but more
women sramps are left in the city in
summer than men. They are the foul.
est of their lot. Men tramps may be
met with once in a great while who do
not drink, but Of women none. In the
day they scatter about the city, carry
ing baskets when asking for aims to
back up their claim to having q home
and family to provide for, and to receive
such little articles from convenient
clothes lines, &c, IS may be stolen
without risk. Others take their stand
along Ludlow street, in the Hebrew
quarter, where, especially on Jewish
holidays, light jobs of scrubbing find
them out and yield them enough to buy
perhaps a bun for dinner and to fill up
on stale beer at night. Here, too, are
some fsYorite distilleries, about which
q small army of professiOnal trsmps can
always be found. At Hester and Lud-
low streets is one Of the principal ones.
They abound throughout the down
town east side precincts.-N. \. World.

TRAMPS MARCHING.
Their Summer Exodus Not as
Marked as Formerly.
Their Haunts and Habits a Curious
Phase Of Degradation That
0efeS the Police.

The army Of tramps Is on the march.
The annual hegira began with the tirsS
warm days of spring. When the days
grow short and the nights chilly it will
have ended where it began-in New
York city-and the country will once
more breathe freely. At present the
tramp o~itheragyed army is heard from
On& end of the land to the other. Why
the tramping and whittier? are ques-
tons that have been asked Outlines,
but never fully answered. The fact is,
the tramp does not know himself or
care. He is a fatalist and a gentleman
Ofleisure. Leisure, indeed, is his dis
tinguishing characteristic. Like other
migratory animals, he travels in
obedience to a law in his nature, and
he gOeth wherever he listeth, acknowl-
edging no restraint and having no APP
pOintment to heed save tor the
autumnal review in New York when
the summers campaign is ended.
ChronIc Laziness.
The police stations and Mulberry
street mark his intermediate stages.
ltOughs do not become tramps, ave in
rare instances when old and broken
down. Even then, usually, they are
otherwise disposed of. The devil has
various ways of taking care of his own.
Nor is the tramp's army recruited from
any certain class. All occupations and
grades of society yield to it their contin-
gent OF IdleneSS. Occasionally, from
one u or another, it is enforced;
but the first acceptance of aims puts q
brand on the man which his moral
strength rarely holds out to effaee. He
seldom recover his lost caste. The ey-
olutiOn is gradual, keeping step with the
increasing shabbiness of his clothes and
corresponding loss of self-respect. Not
until he has worn the old rags of anoth-
er tramp does he become u professional
and is recognized as a regular" That
point turned, retreat is impossible. He
''tramps" with the army, far or near AS
fancy dictates, while the summer lasts,
returning to the shelter of the city's POI
lice stations, lodging-hOuSes and hOspit-
able dOOrwayS and ash-bins as the fall
advances.
The tramp by nature is not a thief.
The farmers dog keeps him straight at
night in communities he often visits,
and by day his W cOwardice performs

involve some degree of work to avoid
which he frequently labors harder than
most men who earn wages. They have
been known to carry away srrubbing
brushes, pans and coal shovels when
set to work st police stations to earn
their breakfast, after getting a nights
lodging for nothing, but not as AZ in
vestment to start business for them
selves. The value of the articles as
equivalent for rum was what tempted
the theft, which was only perpetrated
under circumstances of tempting secu-
rity.
