The Country Peoples Terror of
Trnmps.

Ashcake, Va, December 16 1891.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Your recent editorials. Move the
Tramps," finds response in the country
homes.
Now, II these people behave In such an
ugly way in the presence of day and
night armed policemen, imagine, If you
can, how they do in the country, where,
az individuals, we are unprepared TO make
any arrests or resistance.
No class of people on earth are allowed
TO take such liberties as are the tramps.
Unannounced. they walk boldly into the
very room where the country housewife
is busily engaged about her domestic du-
ties. whilst her husband is at his honest
work in the field or shop. These
monarchs demand-not beg-and II told
by the trembling woman that she has no
food, the libertine, leaning on his axe
orders her, with an oath, TO cook some,
and quickly.
The railroad tralnmen are continually
worried with them, stopping their fast
trains to put them on, and very often
have a tough time OF II. For instance,
one OF our young brakemen was thrown
from the top of freight-car by one OF
these tramps, whilst the train was rapidly
moving, on the Peninsula division. The
brakeman's leg was broken and he was
otherwise seriously injured.
/ will give you another sample OF their
behavior: A few evenings ago tramp
walked up from the direction OF Richmond
and stopped az Ashcake station. helped
himself to spme nice pine wood belonging

was the scene of an unusual occurrence
last evening, when Evangelist b. II. lr-
win. of Lincoln, Neb., closed the series
of meetings he has conducted here for
the past two weeks.
The church has been crowded nightly
many people coming from the country.
Many of the women wore plumage on
their bonnets during service, and inns
seemed to afford theme for the preach
er. who spoke furiously against the prac-
tice of wearing feathers on hats. his
sermon was so strong that NUMBER
of the women in sight OF the preacher
took their headgear off and tore the
feathers to pieces.
Mr.. Irwin also strongly condemned the
use of tobacco and the wearing OF
boards, saying that men who used the
weed or had hirsute appendages stood no
chance of getting into the Kingdom

CIXII-SERXICE.

A Washington special to the New YORK
Herald says that the advocates OF the
spells system are rapidly drifting into
open antagonism of the administration
"and there is every prospect that large
proportion of the Republicans in Congress
will be as completely alienated from Mr..
Mckinley before the end of the session
on account of his stand in favor of the
oivil-service law, as the free-silver Demo-
Gratis were from Mr.. Cleveland by his
stand for sound money"
1t is now in order for the Herald's
Washington correspondent TO explain
wherein Mr.. McKinley's stand in favor
of the civil-service law" has proved any
real grievance TO the spoilsmen, and for
the reason that MIR. McKinley's fine
words about civil-service have not pre-
vented the law from being grossly Vio-
lated in number of instances.

A Soul.

New Orleans Times-Democrat)
I listened TO the hooking birds song
Listened with bated breath
To that thrilling song that was sweet as
love.
And as sorrowful as death.
Heard all the passionate longing
OF a soul which has left and known
All the Joy of loves completeness
And the grief of being alone.
And I said to my heart this song-bird
OF our glowing southern cline
Must hold a soul in its keeping
That was human in long-past time
AZ soul that had loved and suffered,
hut lacked expression complete,
And has learned at last Loves language
In this midnight music sweet.

The New York Evening Post, in COM
mentlng on the cut in wages in the spin
ming interest at Fall River, Mass, says:
This is not a case of temporary glut
~ goods which needs time in which to
work them off. The trouble is more
deep-seated. The cause of the depression
IL recognized as a permanent one 1t
lies in the fact that for one reason or
another cotton spinning can be done
more cheaply in other parts Of the coun-
Try, and particularly in the Southern
States. than in Massachusetts,. There
have been mutterings in the air on this
subject for full twenty years. The fact
has been perceived all along that the
southern spinners have all the facilities
that New England possesses, plus near
ness 10 the cotton-flelds.'
That's pretty much the whole story.
Now let the South make still more of her
advantage by turning her attention TO
the manufacture also Of the finer cotton
fabrics.

head ana eyes. Not long after this,
scrofula sore appeared on my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eye.
Other sores came on my neck and on my
right arm and one of my limbs. They
were very troublesome and painful and
soon became great running sores. My
face looked 80 bad that some of my
neighbors could not bear TO look at me
and advised me to wear bandage, but /
feared this would irritate the sore aud
make it worse. So
Could Not Hide the Sores.
My niece, who was familiar with a case
similar to mine, which had been cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, urged me to try 1t.
Finally was persuaded to do so, and in
a short time / saw it was helping me-.
The sores began to heal and the neu-
raIgia in my head was better. In q few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed; those on my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone.
