The city Jail presented strange appear
ance this morning. Stretched on the floor
were several hoboes. Two had cord sticks
under their heads for pillows, and were laz-

present condition. In conversation they
bcmoansd the hard fate that had befallen

work, which, if offered, would receive the
coldest of cold shoulders. They are always
predIsposed to air their grievances, and to
give credence to their tale of woe one would
be led to believe that misfortune had fol-
owed them from early youth.
