From the time Of our first arrival in

death of Rowland, the plaza had been
nearly filed with aimed men. Two
pieces Of artillery, badly mounted
and in every way Ineffective, were
standing immediately in front Of our
quarters, in the porch These cam

yoked and hitched, but lying down

The Judge informed her that he

Seriously, what does all this talk
about Tilden mean? Unless there Is =
good deal of unusually expert lying in
the case the '"old-ticket" movement
really has some substance, but yet tn e
plan is as impracticable on its face az
ever.
RPerhaps it will be well to remember
that favoring some impossible thing
gives politicians the great advantage OF
IL non-committal resting place, and
further that a good deal of the commo.
ton has been made up by some rather
volatile new sparers in II time of little
stirring news. 1t is also fact that the

TO the Trustees Of the Poor.

The Trustees of the Poor should take
some action in reference to William
Morris and his wife, the aged couple
who reside in the basement at No. COG
Tatnall street. The old man is almost
blind, and they have no means Of sup
port, except such as furnished by the
charitable. The hole in which they
stay is never reached by the rays of the
sun, and is almost as dark al noouG1y
as at night, and when reporter of the
REPUBLICAN visited them short Tine
since, lie was obliged to light candle
to See what WAS in the rovm. They had
no carpet on the rotten boards that
served for a floor, and the few pieces Of
scanty furniture had been given to
them 1t is well established thar both
the man and the woman are addicted
to the use Of liquor, and find some means
to procure thai, although there is no
doubt that they frequently 90 without
food. 1t is a disgrace to this city that
this condition Of things is allowed to
exist, and the Trustees of the Poor
would be justified in removing them
both to the almshouse, whether thcy
want to 60 or not.

The Repsrter's Work.

FROM inc l'r1nters ClrcuIar
OF the inside work Of any business OF
profession the public is more or less ig.
norant. Ofall others IL confesses It's
ignorance, but Of the reporters work II
cOnceives theories that are rather anus
ing, but much more aggravatiDg. The
theory that q number of young men
flying about the town gathering mp
notes, which some Office man " licks
into shape" is very common.
Another common theory is that til.
repOrtOrial staff of each paper is turn
ed loose at a certain hour each. day to
find out what il going on in the city,
and that each individual exercises his
own secret will as TO where he shall
20 and what he shall do. Several
times day the reporter hears some
citizen say:
" should think you fellows would
get all mixed up,severa, of you going to
the same place after the same thing: and
occasionally when the reporter happens
around several hours after an important
and unexpected event, by diligelt ques-
tioning finds out all abOutit, and writes
a particularly vivid description, some
citizens asks, How did you happen
TO have man there Just in time. -
People are sure that the reporter goes
everywhere and fees everything. They
see him on duty at the theatre or con-
vention, and the impression is made
that his time is filled only by those pub
lie occurrences which appear to be most
pleasant and agreeable things to make
note ri. The fact that he works from
four to eight hours longer every day
than the longest worried man in any
other profession, and that therefore he
has not even time 81 attend to his own
private business, is not known. If it
were not that the work. is full of varie-
ty, its hours wolll Kill him in year.
These people, with the queer ques-
tions and tuhhy notions of newspaper
work, are the ones who only OCCASION
ally come in con act with newspaper
men. There are some hundreds of men,
who never mace report for newspa-
per, who are unerring guides as to the
value Of news. They are the men whom
the reporter meets every day, and
from he gets information the city
officers, clerk Of courts, railway Off
Gals, and the like, who get every day
enough information to fill vC'u mes, out
of which the reporter picks a few para
graphs or a column. by long acquaint-
ance with the reporters ways the in
tormant comes to know just what ne
wants, and gives il tC him.

MOONLIGHT FITTINGS.

neighbors, INDUCED in moonlight Hit
last night, forgetting to pay Mr.. Day
his rent and several other bills he owed
in the neighborhood. There were par
ties near enough to the filters to have
touched them but could not see for thu
intense darkness, yet they could be
seen kicking and cursing the chickens
for making so much noise. Mr.. Day
hopes that those who he ped Valentine
away will be good enough to call OF
him and settle up his rent.
Two moonlight fittings took place
last night from the row Of new houses
on Eleventh street below Pine one OF
the two living in a house belonging t,
M. r. Poole kept a sharp lookout fol
