How Baltimore Got Rid OF Trampa

The tramp nuisance had reached
such immense proportions in Baltimore
that the hospitable people Of that city
got tired feeding the vast multitude
of knights of the road who annually
blew around there at the first sign OF
snow and lived on the charity of the
citizens during the cold months Of the
wear. Last winter the latter resolved
TO change the order Of things and
opened up two establishments, e
which the people were directed to send
the genus tramp. Having arrived
there Dusty Rhodes was invited to take
q bath, with soap, and was then di.
rected to wood or stone pile. Aftet
exercising his muscle for a while he
was furnished food and lodging. The
result was tho tramp as species so0r
emigrated from Baltimore.

The Condor's Strength and voractty

The enormous strength of the condor
is only equalcd by his voracity and

pounces upon small animals. but, from
the shane and bluntness Of his claws.
he is unable to carry anything very
heavy. SO he contents himself with
fixing it against the ground with one
of its claws, while with the other
and his powerful beak he rends it k
pieces. Gorged with food. the bird
then becomes incapable of fight and
may be approached. bat any attempt
at capture is furiously resisted.

Among the famboyant speeches
which had been made about planting
the Lone Star flag on the cathedral
towers of Santa Fc, there was one,
uttered by young legislator, Van

it:
"A Tennessee ncighbor once sta

The deer sprang out, but the rifle made

She did not know; and she must bear
this sad intelligence alone until
his return. 1t would have been most
natural for her to communicate the re-
ception of that letter and it's contents
to her aflianced husband, so soon to
be united with her at the altar; but
she resolved to announce the death of
Adolf and not his loving legacy; and
to make the latter pleasant surprise
t. her husband after their marriage.
When Gust heard of the death of
Adolf Molier, he was visibly affected,
lie had not, at any time, felt such
jealousy of Vivettc's love as to think
less of another for loving her; that
was in his estimation, a thing to be
commended; and not only on Vivctte's
account for the loss of her cousin but
on his own, he felt much honestregrct

manhood which has, undh circum-
stances as adverse as fate, with no sym
pathy from outside and wit n less credit

thirty years of worse war han mere
civil differences could precipAate.
Mr.. Stanton was a vcryVlittle boy
when the war closed and ABOUT the
only memory he has of that me is of
Sherman's occupation of Sdvannah.
The poets father was of Northern
family, but was confirmed invt lid and
took no part in the war. lie wSs liv-
ing in Savannah at the time the Jnion
troops occupied the city and wast much
troubled by depredating soldiers{
On complaint to Gen. Sherman Mr..
Stanton received guard for his home
and later was complimented by an visit
from the general himself.
Gen. Sherman sat by the inYalid's
couch and talked with him of mfny of
their mutual friends in the north; and
when the little Frank came into the
room, he took him upon his knee and
said: "This is fine fellowA but his
head is heap too big" His lremarlS

very much as the politician did when
he asked, Where am at?'
He writes all his verses in his unin-
vitingloolsirg oifice-a queer spot for
the muse of poesy to find resting
place in. All about are the roofs and
chimneys of factories, and below per-
feet network of railroads. When asked
how he wrote with that unlovely pros
pect before him, he pointed to a bit of
blue sky above the smoliestaclss and
said: Il just stare at that and it has

Might we not all be poets in de-

blue that spans our sordid worlds and
hold communion with our better selves?

for trial inquired what was
the point at issue. Mr.. Col
lurn, attorney for the pretended
Joseph Blake, stated the con
tents Of the bill and petition at great
detail, announced that the will upon
which the suit was based had been
properly proven, that it was acknowl-
edged by the opposite party to be as
claimed, the last will and testament
of Thomas Blake, deceased devising
the estate to his grandson Joseph
Blake, then in court present. and that
the only issue was as to the personal
identity of the said Joseph Blake,
The opposing attorney, Mr. Clayton,
admitted the will and eoncurred in the
statement that the only question at
issue was that of personal identity.
The court then announced that
under that state Of affairs n jury
should b. called to determine that
question of fact.
A jury competent to try the issue
was found with less difficulty than had
bccn expected.
In opening the ease to the jury Mr..
Colburn rccitcd the history of the
Blake family with much detail. He
proposed to show that the claimant
under the will had full knowledge of
all the facts in that history in the most
critical details including essential
facts known only 10 the other mem
bers of the family: and thct he well

HE WAS ECONOMICAL.
And Did Not Want to Lose by Having
Only One Leg.

And Did Not Want to Lose by Havins
Only One Leg.
A curious advertisement appeared In
some of the morning papers the other
day TO the effect that one legged man
would hear something to his advant-
age by applying at certain address,
says the New York Herald, Though
not one legged myself, called there
and found the advertiser to be Grand
Army man who had lost leg at An
tietam. Questioned as to why he had
inserted the advertisement which at
tracted my attention, he gave this ex-
plantations:
my idea, he said, sis TO find man
who has lost his left leg. You notice
that my right is gone. Now pay SO q
pair for my shoes, and i wear about
five pair year. That makes $40. And
besides that, / wear a great many
socks, which also count up considera-
bly,.
You can readily see that if / can
find man who has lost the other leg,
and wears the same size shoe that do,
we can whack up, and by buying our
shoes and stockings together we would
make considerable.
l apologized to the old gentleman for
my cusiosity in the matter and went
away thinking to myself what won
derful thing economy is.
