pMmwauis Department. A TRAMP'S VICTORY. Yesterday a tramp stopped a lawyer on Griswold street and begged for a dime to get his dinner. The lawyer replied: "Why on earth don't you get out into the country: "What fur?" "Get a piece of land and go to farming." "My dear sir," said the tramp, "If I had the land, which I can't get, I'd know no more about farming than you do about sailing a ship. You are a smart man?ten times as smart as I am?but can you tell me when to plant corn ?" "Why?ahem?vfrv. in the spring, of course." "But the "Well?ahem 1 Slif^ose it's along after the snow sroes off." "About rotation of crops?"^*"***^ "I?I never heard of any. "And what about sub-soiling?" "Sub-soiling? Why, it's something connected with farming." "And how much wheat do you sow to the acre?" The lawyer couldn't remember whether it was twenty or forty bushels, but dodged the case by observing: "The great trouble with the country is that we have too many consumers." "Then how is it that breadstuff's, groceries and clothing are down, and so many factories are shutting up ? Haven't we really produced too much?" queried the tramp. "But as I remarked," continued the lawyer, as he shifted around, "this country can never hope to improve till we have protection." "Then how comes it that the lumber business, already so heavily protected, is flat a sa fish." "Say, you shut up!" hotly exclaimed the lawyer, as he handed over a quarter and moved off. "As I remarked in my opening address, we are living beyond our means." "Well, I dunno, replied the tramp as he pocketed the money. "I propose to make this 'ere pay for three meals and a bed, and I don't see how you can figger any finer."? Detroit Free Frees. Traded in* Stock.?An Austin judge put the usual question to a man who had just been convicted of horse-stealing, a large herd of stolen stock being found in his possession. "I)o you know of any repetm why sentence should not be pronojjffeed upon you?" "I atn innocent, jj^lame by the stock honestly, in the $rfTnary course of business." "VVhv vnii nflfprprl ?p1I a. vfl lnflhle mare 1 * "jl j ? ? for seven dollars." "I know it, Your Honor; but I was bothered by jockeys and speculators who wanted to trot her for money, so I sold her for seven dollars to a man who I knew would treat her well. I could have gotten ten times as much for her if I had cared for money." "How about all the other stock found in your possession ?" "I traded for it, Judge. I have a mania for trading in stock." "What was your name before you came to Texas ?" "I don't like to tell, Judge, for it might prejudice you against me; but I am related to one of the most respectable families in New York." . "I suspected as much," replied the Judge. "I was only going to give you five years, but now I will make it ten." New Use for Babies.?"They say if you put a baby in the water it will not sink," said William to his wife Susan the other day. "Don't you want to go down to the lake this afternoon?" "But, my dear, you've always objected to our going on the water, purely on baby's account, for you've said the trip was dangerous, and that there were no life-preservers on the boat." "But don't you see that all the difficulty is obviated ?" "No, I can't say that I do." "Why th ; baby can't sink." "Well, suppose there is some accident. What's to become of us?" "We'll hang on to the baby."?Detroit Free Press. What She Thought.?"In what sense is the term goose egg used, George, in connection with baseball?" inquired a young lady. "Goose-egg! It means nothing, Angelia. That is to say, it means a cipher. The player who fails to score anything is said to have a goose-egg." "How funny! 1 thought it meant something entirely'ditferent." "Indeed; what is your idea of a gooseegg?" "I thought it might be an egg laid by some of the 'fouls' of the game."? Youngstown {Ohio) Saturday Night. How to Get a Start.?"It requires quite a long time for a man to get a start in the world, said an old fellow, but some of the most eollossa! fortunes have been built on loans advanced by friends. When 1 married I had to borrow money with which to pay for my license. That was shortly before I came to this town." "I suppose you are well situated now," remarked a bystander. "Hardly as well as I might be; still, if business should be prosperous this year, I think that by close economy, I can refund the money which I borrowed to pay my license."? Arkansaiv Traveler. What Will Wake Him.?"You are an early riser, are you ?" said Mrs. Brown to Mrs. Jones. "No; the reason is I cannot wake up John before noon. I have tried the clock alarm, blank cartridge and bell-ringing, but lie sleeps like a dead man." "You ought to try the plan I use on my husband," said Mrs. Brown. "How is that?"

He will always be talking at table about the early vegetables and other high-priced things just arrived in market."?Philadelphia Call. A Complete Disguise.?Jones, before starting for the country for a Sunday's shooting wrapi^ed his new gun up in the smallest possible compass. "I wouldn't have anyone know I had a gun with me for anything," he remarked. "Why, my dear?" asked Mrs. Jones.

New York, September 22.?The following address has been issued from the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee : To the People of the United States: The National Democratic party of the United States has pledged itself to purify the administration of public affairs from corruption, to manage the Government with economy to enforce the execution of the laws 1 1 ~ 1- ..Al! Art AKrt 1 1 ? iv\ i 4 ana 10 reuuce uixuuun iu wie iuwcsi mum consistent with just protection to American labor and capital and with the preservation of the faith which the nation has pledged to its creditors and pensioners. The open record of the man whom it has named as its candidate for the Presidency has been accepted by thousands ol Independent Republicans in every State as an absolute guarantee that if he is elected all these pledges will be exactly fulfilled and that under his administration good government will be assured. To secure these results all good citizens must unite in defeating the Republican candidate for President. His history and political methods make it certain that his administration would be stained by gross abuses, by official misconduct and wanton expenditure of the public money, and would be marked by an increase of taxation which would blight the honest industry of our people. Against us and against those honorable Republicans who, for the sake of good government, have made common cause with us, notable combinations have been made. These are chiefly made up of four classes : First, an army of office-holders, who, by choice or compulsion, are now giving to Republican committees as partofthe campaign fund of that party moneys paid to such officers out of the public treasury for services due to the people of the United States. Second, organized bodies of men who, having secured by corrupt means the imposition of duties which are in excess of all sums needed for the wants of the Government and for the protection of American labor and capital, and having thus gained enormous wealth, are willing to pay largely to the liepublic?tn campaign fund for the promise of the continuance and increase of such duties, which constitute a system of bounties to monopolies under the false pretense of protection to American industry. Third, a host of unscrupulous contractors and jobbers, who have grown rich upon public plunder and are ready to pay tithes of what they have acquired in order to avoid all risk of being called u^on to ac count tor tne evil metnous uy which wicu wealth has been gained. Fourth, corporations which, having despoiled the public lands by the aid of corrupt agencies in the Republican party, believe they will be compelled to give up their ill-gotten gains if that party is driven from power, and are therefore willing to keep it in place by giving it a percentage of their unrighteous profits. This committee has not troops of officeholders at its command. It will not agree to sell the future legislation of Congress for money paid now into its party treasury. It will not promise immunity to thieves. It will not contract to uphold any corrupt bargain heretofore made by the Republican party with any corporation for all the wealth which such corporation can offer. It appeals to the people against one and all of these opponents thus corruptly banded together against the friends of good government. The number of all these opponents is small, but their wealth is great, and it will be unscrupulosly used. An active and vigorous campaign must be made against them. Their paid advocates must be met and defeated in debate upon the platform and in discussion in the newspapers. The organization of all who are opposed to them must be perfected in every State, city and county Ln the land. Money is needed to do this honest work. Your committee, refusing to adopt the methods by which the Rebulican party fills its treasury, calls upon all good citizens for the aid which it requires. It invites and will welcome contributions from every honest man who is opposed to the election of James G. Blaine as President. Xo contribution will be accounted too small. Whereever a bank, banker or postal money order office can be found, the means exist for placing at the disposal of the Treasurer of this committee individual or collective contributions in aid of the great cause in which we are engaged, or money may be remitted by mail to Charles J. Conda, Treasurer, at No. 11 West Twenty-fourth street, New York. When victory is achieved over the unscrupulous combination, which is now endeavoring to thrust James G.Blaine into the Presidential office, the recorded list of such contributors will be a roll of honor, such as no other party in this country has ever possessed. Our opponents cannot be saved from disaster by forcing their unwilling candidate to speak to assemblages of the people. The man who wrote the Fisher letters will never be the choice of the people for the Presidency of the United States. Arthur P. Gorman, Chairman Nat. Bern. Ex. Com. REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. The following are the resolutions left in the hands of the Committee on Platform and Resolutions of the State Republican Convention, and ordered to the State Executive Committee with instructions to report an electoral ticket, a platform and the resolutions and publish them within ten days after the adjournment of the Convention : Resolved, by the Republican party in Convention assembled, that we hail with proud satisfaction and intense delight the wise selection of standard bearers made by the National Republican Convention held at Chicago, Illinois, June 2d, 18S4, and that in the persons of those illustrious and brilliant statesmen, James (J. Maine and John A. Logan, we lind all the true and requisite qualities combined to insure safe leadership, reliable, tirm and etlicient rulers of the great nation of which we are a component part. Resolved, That we extend to these honored sons of the nation our hearty and earnest support, pledging our best energies and untiring efforts to secure a victory complete and triumphant for the Republican party and the brave defenders of the faith. Resolved, That we renew our devotion to those grand and sublime principles of the Republican party, which recognize the fatherhood of (tod and the brotherhood of man, and upon its altar will otter our all of sacrifice That we recognize in the platform and resolutions as set forth by the National Republican party as full and sufficient guarantee of protection to life, liberty and property and a safe chart bv which the ship of State can be guided. Resolved, That with a full election and honest count, we pledge to the standard bearers of the Republican party the legitimate majority we lay claim to of thirty thousand voters, and charge at the doors of the Democracy of the the State, if it is not secured a deliberate perversion of the will of the people by a resort to vile agencies and methods, such as should bo discountenanced, denounced and unqualifiedly condemned. Also the following: Whereas we recognize the supreme importance of education and realize the stern necessity of providing for more liberal advantages to the end of titting and preparing those who are to enter upon the stage of actions for the proper discharge of the duties and responsibilities of citizenship; that inasmuch as the school facilities furnished by the State in its meagreness cannot and do not meet the crying demands of the masses, thereby depriving them of those privileges so essentially necessary to their upbuilding and elevation. Therefore, Resolved, That we view with alarm the educational condition of the people, schools being conducted only for tho brief term of two and four months in every section of the State, the length of which seems but trilling to the pupil, working a serious hardship and great inconvenience to the faithful teacher, who receives but a pittance for salary, being barely sufficient to furnish means of subsistence "during the term of employment. Resolved, That we call upon the State authorities to give this very important subject their careful and deliberate consideration, and to devise such means and adopt such regulations by which an enlargement of school facilities can be secured, more reasonable advantages derived therefrom and a higher standard attained. Resolved, That we favor national aid to education, and call upon the national authorities to use its powers to the furtherance of that end, believing that it will not only prove a safe investment if surrounded with proper safeguards, but prove an economy in the strictest sense of the term, in that it will tend to the enlightenment of the masses and free the nation from the incubus of ignorance now resting upon it. ITEMS OF INTEREST. ? A large Newfoundland dog named Heck is the hero of a story whien comes from Eldred, Penn. The porter of a hotel at that place, an intemperate man, was a special favorite with the dog. On Thursday night last he went to bed very drunk and was awakened by the loud barking of the dog who had discovered that the house was on fire. lie was too drunk to take care of himself, but the dog piloted him to the door, and then awoke the proprietor of the house, ailU <111 tne gliosis in sueuussiuu, uiivm^ some of them in their fright to the front door. One lady tripped and fell down stairs. Her baby was thrown to the floor. The dog seized it by its clothes and carried it to a place of safety. The mother did not know of its rescue and rushed frantically toward the building, but was kept out by friends. The dog, thinking probably that other people were still there, rushed into the flames again and perished. ? A Brookhaven, Miss., dispatch of Thursday says: Last Saturday night a mob of forty men visited Franklin county jail, overpowered the jailer, took out four negro prisoners and lynched them in the court house yard. One was charged with attempt at rape on a white girl, two with the murder of other negroes and the other with arson and robbery. Four other prisoners were in the jail at the time?one charged with rape and the others with arson, but they were unmolested. The mob informed the jailer that unless the Circuit Judge cleaned out the jail this term they would return and make aclean sweep. The affair is greatly deprecated by a large majority of citizens of the county, where six men have been sacrificed by Judge Lynch in the past eighteen months. ? John Johnson, of Gainsville, Ga? a young man still in his teens, comes to the front with an invention for which it is said, he has refused $12,000. It is a money drawer so ingeniously arranged that by the simple pulling of a spring any piece of money, from a nickle to a dollar, can be secured at once, and also any amount of change one might wish. If desired to get change for any bill, in any possible way, embracing any number of coins of different denominations, it can be obtained in a second of time, and there is not a need of glancing at it to see if correct, for it can't be wrong. Mr. Johnson has just returned from Cincinnati, where he has established a factory for the manufacture of these drawers. ? In payment of a wager made before the Democratic nomination for President, Olin Charidy, of LaGrange, agreed in case of any other candidate than Tilden was nominated to carry a flag bearing the names of the candidates for President and Vice-President from Atlanta through the State of Ohio to New York before the election in November, walking the entire distance. In pursuance of this agreement, he started from Atlanta with a Cleveland and Hendricks flag on Monday, 29th of September, and will go through Ohio and to New York before the election. ? A story comes from Ottawa, Kansas, that on Monday last Carrie and Bessie Waterman, aged twelve and fourteen years, daughters of James Waterman, a farmer, tied a rope around the neck of their halfbrother, six years old, dragged him about and beat him with sticks until he was dead. The girls stated at the coroner's inquest that they hated the child and wanted him dead. They were held for murder. ? The contract for the new Georgia capitol at Atlanta, was let last Friday to Mills & Home, of Toledo, Ohio, for $802,762. The stone to be used is Indiana Oolitic stone from the Salem Stone and Lime Company, of Louisville, Ky. The work will be commenced at once and the building will be pressed rapidly forward to completion. It is expected that it will be finished in from three and one-half to four years. ? On last Friday night George W. Weaver, publisher of the Ilion, N. Y., Citizen, printed the first newspaper in the world the type of which was entirely composed by a typesetting machine. The entire edition of 0,000 copies was printed by the aid of an electric motor, the same which on March 14 printed IVeaver Journal, being the first in the known world to accomplish the feat. ? A Talladega, Ala., dispatch says: Aaron Boswell and Charles Boswell, brothers, have for some time paid attention to the same young lady. Each was jealous of the other and this feeling of jealousy resulted in a quarrel when Aaron drew a pistol and shot his brother through the heart, killing him instantly. Stat?: Elections.?Of the elections yet to beheld in this year most of the States will hold them on November 4, the day of the Presidential election. Georgia elected Governor and Legislature on October 1, and will elect Congressmen on November 4; and on last Monday Connecticut voted upon a constitutional amendment providing for biennial elections. The only important October elections, however, are those of Ohio and West Virginia, on Tuesday, October 14, when Ohio will elect minor State officers and Congressmen, and West Virginia a Governor and other State officers, Legislature and Congressmen, and vote on a proposed amendment to the Constitution to change the time of the general election to November. All the States will elect Presidential Electors on Tuesday, November 4. The chosen Electors will meet at their respective State Capitols on Wednesday, December ;3, and cast their ballots for President and VicePresident direct. On the same day Congressmen will also be elected in the States of Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Rhode Island and Virginia. State Legislatures snd Congressmen will be chosen in California, Minnesota, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and State officers and Congressmen in Iowa. State officers, Legislature and Congressmen will be elected in Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin. New York will elect two Judges of the Court of Appeals, Assemblymen and Congressmen, and vote on a constitutional amendment prohibiting the loaning of public money to private parties and restricting municipal indebtedness to ten percent, of ahe assessed valuation of the property in the corporation. New Hampshire will also vote on the calling of a Constitutional Convention. California will also vote on a proposed constitutional amendment providing for a State Board of Education. How to Take Out Screws from Woodwork.?One of the most simple and readiest methods for loosening a rusted screw is to apply heat to the head of the screw. A small bar or rod of iron, flat at the end, if reddened in the fire and applied for a couple or three minutes to the head of the rusted screw, will, as soon as it heats the screw, render its withdrawal as easy with the screw-driver as if it was only a recently inserted screw. As there is a kitchen poker in every house, that instrument, if heated at its extremity, and applied for a few minutes to the head of the screw or screws, will do the required work of loosening, and an ordinary screw-driver will do the rest, without causing the least damage, trouble or vexation of spirit. In all work above the common kind, where it is necessary to use screws, and particularly in hinge work and mountings, fancy fastenings and appliances affixed to joinery or furniture work, we would ad, vise the oiling of screws or the dipping of j their points in grease before driving them. ! This will render them more easy to drive j and also to withdraw, and it will undoubtj edly retard for a longer time the action of I rusting.?London Builder.
