Uf FRIEND, THE TRAMP. BT BRET HARTE. I had been sauntering over the clover dawns of a certain noted New England seaport. It was a Sabbath morning, so angularly reposeful and gracious--so re­ plete with the significance of the seventh dtv of rest that even the Sabbath bells ringing a mile away over the salt marshes hod little that was monitory, mandatory, or even supplicatory in their drowsy voices. Rather they seemed to call from their cloudy towers, like some renegade Mnezzin : " Sleep is better than prayer; deep on, oh sons of the Puritans! Slumber still, oh deacons and vestrymen. Let, oh let those feet that are swift to wickedness curl up beneath thee ; those palms that are itching for the shekels of the ungodly lie clasped beneath thy pil­ low. Sleep is better than prayer." And, indeed, though it was high morning, sleep was still in the air. "Wrought upon at last by the combined influences of sea, and sky, and atmos­ phere, I succumbed, and lay down on one of the boulders of a little stony slope that gave upon the sea. The great , Atlantic lay before me, not yet quite i empty bucket in his hand, and when they awake, but slowly heaving with the j returned in the gloaming Bridget was car- ijthmical expiration of slumber.

He i look his work; it was a rash action, as it was very ragged ; he was very dirty; i caused liim to respectfully doff his hat, there wus a strong suggestion about him j discontinue his labors, and lean back in the Aiat that I expicted lo fifid wor- rok." " Have you any trade ?" " Trade, is it? I'm a brickmaker, God knows, and ninny's the lift I've had at makin' bricks in Milwaukee. Sure, I've as aisy a hand at it as any man. Maybe yer Honor might know of a kill hereabouts?" Now, to my certain knowledge, there was no t a b r i ck fc i l h w i th in f i f t y mi l e s o f that spot, and of all unlikely places to find one would have been this sandy peninsula, given up to the summer resi­ dences of a few wealthy people. Yet I oould not help admiring the assumption of the scamp, who knew this fact as well as myself. But I said, " I can give you work for a day or two," and, bidding him gather up his sick wife's apparel, lea the way across the downs to my cottage. At first I think the offer took him by sur­ prise, and gave him some consternation, but he presently recovered his spirits, and almost instantly his speech. "Ah, wur-ruk, is it ? God be praised ; its me- self that's ready and willin'. _ Though maybe me hand is spoilt wid brick- making. " I assured him that the work I would give him would require no delicate manipulation, and so we fared on over the sleepy downs. But I could not help noticing that, although an invalid, I was a much better pedestrian than my com­ panion, frequently leaving him behind, and that, even as a "tramp," he was etymologically an impostor. He had a way of lingering beside the fences we had to climb over as if to continue more confidentially the history of his misfort­ unes and troubles, which he was de­ livering to me during our homeward walk, and I noticed that he could seldom resist the invitation of a mossy boulder or a tussock of salt grass. " Ye see, sir," he would say, suddenly sitting down; "it's along uv me misfortunes beginning in Milwaukee that "and it was not until I was out of hearing that he would languidly gather his traps again and saunter after me. When I reached my own garden gate he leaned for a moment over it, with both of his powerful arms extended downward, and said, "Ah, but it's a blessin'that Sun­ day comes to give rest fur the wake and the weary, and thim as walks sivinteen miles to get it." Of course I took the hint There was evidently no work to be had from my friend the tramp that day. Yet his countenance brightened as he saw the limited extent of my domain, and observed that the garden, so-called, was only a flower-bed about twenty-five by ten. As he had doubtless before this been utilized to the extent of his capacity in digging, he had probably ex­ pected that kind of work, and I dare say I discomfited him by pointing him to an almost leveled stone wall about twenty feet long, with the remark that his work would be the rebuilding of that stone wall with stone brought from the neigh­ boring slopes. In a few moments he was comfortably provided for in the kitchen, where the cook, a woman of his own na­ tivity, apparently "chaffed" him with a raillery that was to me quite unintel­ ligible. Yet I noticed that when, at sun­ set, he accompanied Bridget to the spring for water, ostentatiously flourishing the spent in looking for a pick and hatnmer, nnrl in ^ f?" Wlf n of his having too much hair, too much nail, too much perspiration; too much •o# those superfluous excrescences and <«svdaJaons that society and civilization ®fcrive to keep under. But it was notice­ able that he had not much of anything dse. It was The Tramp. "With that swift severity with which we ailrays visit rebuke upon the person who htppens to present any one of our vices onefisively before us, in his own person, I was 4^eply indignant at his laziness, against the fence in cheerful and easy conversation. " Are ye fond uv blackberries, Captain ?" I told him that the children were in the habit a£ getting them from the meadow beyond--hoping to estop the suggestion I knew -was com­ ing. " Ah, but Captain, it's meself that with wandering and having nothin' to pass me hps but the berries Td pick from the hedges--its meself knows where to find thim.

That lie presented himself in the guise <rf a distressed fisherman, mulcted of his by an inhuman Captain; that he _ fe wife lying sick of consumption in nest viliage, and trwo children, one of Diem a cripple, wandering in the streets qt Boston. I remember that tlfis tre- 2eaukms indictment against Fortune fbached the famdy, and that the dis- teemed fisherman was provided with food, and some small change. he had enlisted the women and children on his side--and my friend the Tramp had his own way. He departed at 11 and returned at 4 p. m. with a tin dinner pail half filled. On interrogating the boys it appeared that they hail "a bully time," but on cross-examination it came out that they had picked the berries. From 4 to 6 three more stones were laid, and the arduous labors of the day were over. As I stood looking at the first course of six stones my friend, the Tramp, stretched his strong arms out to their fullest extent and said : " Ay, but it's wor-ruk that's good for me : gin me wor-ruk, and it's all Fll be askin' fur." I ventured to suggest that he had not yet accomplished much. " Wait till to-morror. Ah, but ye'll see thin. It's me hand that's yet onasy wid brick-making and sthrange to the shtones. Av ye'll wait till to-morror ?" Unfortunately I did not wait. An en­ gagement took me away at an early hour, and, when I rode up to my cottage at noon, my. eyes were greeted with the astonishing spectacle of my two boys hard at work laying the courses of the stone wall, assisted by Bridget and Norah, who were dragging stones from the hillsides, while comfortably stretched I on the top of the wall lay my friend, the j Tramp, quietly overseeing the opera­ tions with lazy and humorous comment. food and small change had disap- I For an instant I was foolishly indignant, •Meed, but the garments for the con- dtaiagjgfcrvc wife, where were they?

I ventured to suggest that a strong, tike might have found somewhere between Milwaukee and «' Ah, but ye see I get free passage on freight train, and didn't sthop. It war Nevertheless, I thought it expedient to forbid henceforth any interruption of servants or children with my friend's "wor-ruk." Perhaps it was the result of this embargo that the next morning early the Tramp wanted to see me. " And it's Borry I am to say it to ye, surr," he began, " bnt it's the handW of this stun that's desthxoyin' me toden at the brickmakin', and, it's better I should lave ye and find wor-ruk at me own thrade. For it's wor-ruk I'm nadin'. It isn't meself, Captin, to ate the bread of oidlenesa. And so good-by to ye, and if it's 50 cints ye can be givin' me ontil Fll find a kill--it's God that'll repay ye." He got the money. But he got,also conditionally a note from me to m^next neighbor, a wealthy retired physician^ possessed of a large domain--a man em­ inently practical and business-like in his management of it He employed many laborers on the sterile waste he called his " farm," and it occurred to me that if there really was any work in my friend the Tramp, which me own indolence and preoccupation had failed to bring out, he was the man to do it I met him a week after. It was with some embarrassment that I inquired after my friend, the Tramp. "O, yes," he said, reflectively, "let's see--he eame Monday and left me Thursday. He was, I think, a stout, strong man, a well- meaning, good-humored fellow, but af­ flicted with a most singular variety of diseases. The first day I put him at work in the stables he developed chills and fever caught in the swamps of Lou­ isiana--" • " Excuse me," I said hurriedly--"you mean in Milwaukee !" " I know what I'm talking about," re­ turned the Doctor, testily; " he told me his whole wretched story; his escape from the Confederate service; the attack upon him by armed negroes; his con­ cealment in the bayous and swamps--" " Go on, Doctor, I said, feebly; " y#u were speaking of his work." "Yes--well, his system was full of malaria; the first day I had him wrapped up in blankets and dosed with quinine. The next day he was taken with ail the symptoms of cholera morbus, and I had to keep him upon brandy and capsicum. Rheumatism set in on the following day and incapacitated him for work, and I concluded I had better give him a note to the director of the City Hospital than keep him here. As a pathological study he was good, but as I was looking for a man to keep about the stable I couldn't afford to keep him in both capacities." As I never could really tell when the Doctor was in joke or in earnest I dropped the subject. And so my friend the Tramp gradually faded from my memory, not, however, without leaving behind him in the barn, where he had slept, a lingering flavor of whisky, onions, and fluffiness. But in two weeks this had gone, and the " Shebang" (as my friends irreverently termed my habi­ tation) knew him no more. Yet it was pleasant to think ®f ham as having re­ turned to his family at Milwaukee, or making his Louisiana house once more happy with his presence, or again tempt­ ing the fish-producing main--this time with a noble and equitable Captain. It was a lovely August morning when I rode across the sandy peninsula to visit a certain noted family, whereof all the sons were valiant and the daughters beautiful. The front of the house was deserted, but on the rear verandah I heard the rustle of gowns, and above it arose what seemed to be the voice of Ulysses, reciting his wanderings. There was no mistaking that voice--it was my friend the Tramp. - From what I could hastily gather from his speech, he had walked from St. John, N. B., to rejoin a distressed wife in New York, who was, however, living with opulent but objectionable relatives. " An' shure, Miss, I wouldn't be asking ye the loan of a cint if I could get wor-ruk at me trade of carpet-wavin' --and maybe ye know of some manu­ factory where they wave carpets beyant here. Ah, Miss, and if ye don't give me a ciijit, it's enough for tne loikes of me to know that me troubles has brought the tears in the most beautiful oiyes in the wur-ruld, and God bless ye for it, Miss!" Now I knew that the most beautiful eyes in the world belonged to one of the most sympathetic and tenderest hearts in the world, and I felt that common justice demanded my interference be­ tween it and one of the biggest scamps in the world. So, without waiting to be announced fey the servant, I opened the door and joined the group on the verandah. If I expected to touch the conscience of my friend the Tramp by a dramatic entrance, I failed utterly ! Fo nofiv ner did he see me than he instantly gave vent to a howl of delight, and, falling on his knees before me, grasped my hand and turned oratorically to the ladies. " Oh, but it's Himself--Himself that has come as a witness to me charackther! Oh, but it's Himself, that lifted me four wakes ago, when I was lyin' with a mor­ tal wakeness on the say coast and tuk me to his house. Oh, but it's Himself that shupported me o#er the faldes, and whin the chills and faver came on me and I shivered wid the cold, it was Himself, God bless him, as stliripped the coat off his back, and giv it me, sayin', 4 Tak it, Dinnis, its stharved with the co^ld say air yell be entoirly.' Ah, but look at him--will ye, Miss ! Look at his swate, modist face--a blushin' like your own. Miss. Ah ! look at him, will ye ? He'll be denyin' of it in a minit--may the blessin uv God folly him. Look at him, Miss! Ah, but its a swate pair ye'd make ! (the rascal knew I was a" married man). All, Miss, if ye could see him wroightin' day and night with such an illigant hand of his own--(he had evi­ dently believed from the gossip of my servants that I was a professor of chirog- raphy)--if ye could see him, Miss, as I have, ye'd be proud of him." He stopped out of breath. I was so completely astounded I could say noth­ ing; the tremendous indictment I had framed to utter as I opened the door vanished completely. And as the Most Beautiful Eyes on the Wur-ruld turned gratefully to mine--well I still retained enough principle to ask the ladies to withdraw, while I would take upon myself the duty of examining into the case of my friend, the Tramp, and giving him such relief as was required. (I did not know until afterward, however, that the rascal had already despoiled their scant purses of $3.50.) When the door was closed upon thegfcX turned upon tin dollars a week bride makin', its meself that wud huv given " I consider," 1 broke "in, "that a dol­ lar is a fair price for your story, and, as I shall have to take it all back and expose you before the next twenty-four hours pass, I think you had better hasten to Milwaukee, New York, or Louisiana." I handed him the dollar. "Mind, ! don't "want to see your face again." •'Yewun't, Captain." , And I did not But it so chanced that later in the sea­ son, when the migratory inhabitants had flown to their hot-air registers in Boston and Providence, I breakfasted with one who had lingered. It was a certain Bos­ ton lawyer--replete with principle, hon­ esty, self-discipline, statistics, aesthetics, and a perfect consciousness of possess­ ing all these virtues, and a full recogni­ tion of their market values. I think he tolerated me as a kind of foreigner, gen­ tly but firmly waiving all argument on any topic, frequently distrusting my facts, generally my deductions, and al­ ways my ideas. In conversation he al­ ways appeared to descend only half way down a long moral and intellectual stair­ case, and always delivered his conclu­ sions over the balusters. _ . I had been speaking of my friend, the Tramp. " There is but one way of treating that class of impostors; it is simply to recognize the fact that the law calls him a 'vagrant,' and makes his trade a misdemeanor. Any sentiment on the other side renders you particeps crimini8. I don't know but an action would lie against you for encouraging tramps. Now, I have an efficacious way of dealing with these gentry." He rose and took a double-barreled fowling- piece from the chimney. "When a tramp appears on my property I warn him off. If he persists I fixe on him---as I would on any criminal trespasser." ** Fire on him ?" I echoed, in alarm. "Yes--but with powder only! Of course he doesn't know that. But he doesn't come back." It struck me for the first time that pos­ sibly many other of my friend's argu­ ments might be only blank cartridges, and used to frighten off other trespass­ ing intellects. " Of course, if the Tramp still persist­ ed I would be justified in using shot. Last evening I had a visit from one. He was coming over the wall. My shotgun was efficacious; you should have seen him run!" It was useless to argue with so positive a mind, and I dropped the subject. Af­ ter breakfast I strolled over the downs, my friend promising to join me as soon as he arranged some household business. It was a lovely, peaceful morning, not unlike the day when I first met my friend the Tramp. The hush of a great bene­ diction lay on land and sea. A few white sails twinkled afar, but sleepily--one or two large ships were creeping in lazily-- like my friend the Tramp. A voice be­ hind me startled me. My host had rejoined me. His face, however, looked a little troubled. " I just now learned something of im­ portance," he began; "it appears that with all my precautions that Tramp has visited my kitchen and the servants have entertained him. Yesterday morning, it appears, while I was absent he had the audacity to borrow my gun to go duck shooting. At the end of two or three hours he returned with two ducks and-- the gun." " That was, at least, honest " " Yes--but! That fool of a girl says that, as he handed back the gun, he told her it was all right, and that he had loo'32 .it up again to save the master trouble." " I think I showed my concern in my face," for he added, hastily, "It was only duck-shot--a few wouldn't hurt him !" Nevertheless, we both walked on in silence for a moment. " I thought the gun kicked a little, he said at last, musingly ; " but the idea of--Hallo ! what's this ?" He had stopped before the hollow where I had first seen my Tramp. It was deserted, but on the mosses there were spots of blood and fragments of an old gown, blood-Btained, as if used for bandages. I looked at it closely; it was the gown intended for the consumptive wife of my friend, the Tramp. But my host was already nervously tracking the blood-stains that onxock, i _JSS i.nd boulder were , -teadily L ading toward the sea. When I overtook him at last on the shore, he was standing be­ fore a flat rock, on which lay a bundle I recognized, tied up in a handkerchief, and a crooked grapevine stick. " He may have come here to wash his wounds--salt is a styptic," said my host, who had recovered his correct precision of statement. I said nothing, but looked toward the sea. Whatever secret lay hid in its breast, it kept it fast. Whatever its calm eyes had seen that summer night, it gave no reflection now. It lay there passive, imperturbable and reticent But my friend, the Tramp, was gone !--New York Sun. " You infernal rascal!" " Ah, Captain, and would ye be refus- in' tne a carrakther, and me givin' ye such a one as Oi did ? ? God save us ! but if ye'd hav' seen the Ink that the purty one give ye. Well, before the chills and faver bruk me spirits entirely, when I was a young man, and makin' me Arctic Expedition. At the extra session of Congress, says a Washington dispatch, a vigorous effort will be made to get an appropriation for Capt. Howgate's Arctic expedition. Capt. Howgate is offered a suitable ves­ sel for the transportation of fifty men and their provisions, outfits and otner neces­ sary material for a three-years' stay to Lady Franklin bay for the sum of $18,- 000. The vessel offered is a propeller of 658 tons burden, copper faslened throughout, draws fourteen feet of water loaded, and under way makes from ten to twelve knots per hour. She can be made ready for the expedition in ten days from the receipt of notice. The sum asked is high, even when the unu­ sual risks incurred in navigating the Arctic seas are taken into consideration. A three years' supply of provisions will cost, at current wholesale rates, $27,000, and the amount needed for the purchase of buildings for the colony, boats, sledges, instruments, dogs, ana other es­ sentials^ is estimated at $10,000, making an aggregate of $55,000 for the expedi­ tion, exclusive of any compensation to be tendered the hardy adventurers who discovery.

I actually dreamed that Rosa Smith had got a new silk dress!" Important Civil Rights Decision. An important decisipn affecting rail­ way companies has just been rendered in the United States District Court at Balti­ more by Judge Giles. Harriet Culley and seventeen other negroes sued the Baltimore and Ohio Company to recover $500 damages each, for compelling them to ride in a smoking car while returning on commutation tickets from a noint on the Metropolitan branch. The suit was brought under the Supplemental Civil Rights bill, passed by Congress March 1, 187?). Among many witnesses exam­ ined was President Garrett, who said that after the Civil Rights bill was passed in­ structions were given to make no distinc­ tion on account of color with passengers on the road or its connections. While the defense in its testimony endeavored to- show, but did not fully establish it, that no distinction had been made in the Culley case, yet counsel for defendant re­ lied on the unconstitutionality of the act of Congress. Judge Giles gave an elab­ orate opinion, reviewing all similar oases known to the law, and instructed the jury to return a verdict for the defendant, under the following ruling : The act of Congress of March 1, 1875, under which Ais action is brought, soi far as it seeks to inflict penalties for the violation of any or all rights which belong to citizens of a State and not citizens of the United States, as such, was the exercise of a power not authorized by any provision of the constitution of the United States, the privilege to use for local travel any public conveyance is not a right aris­ ing under the constitution of the United States. There can be no recovery of the penalty sued for in this case, and the jury will render their verdict {or the de­ fendant. A verdict in accordance with these instructions was rendered. The President and the Colored People. A delegation of prominent colored men, says a Washington correspondent, called upon the President to tender their thanks for the appointment of Fred Douglass as Marshal of the Dis­ trict of Columbia. The Chairman, in a, brief address, explained the object of the visit and said the appointment was gratifying to the colored people, because by it ne not only recognized their claims but struck a blow at the prejudice of caste, and they wished him success in his policy of reconciliation. The Presi­ dent said in reply that in appointing Mr. Douglass his object was to show to the country that it was his purpose to fully carry out the declaration of his in­ augural. The amendments to the con­ stitution must be strictly adhered to and all citizens protected in their rights. He referred to the appointment of colored persons, and said that no discrimination must be made on account of color. Shotfld any public officer having a posi­ tion to be bestowed make any such dis­ crimination he should consider it suffi­ cient cause for his removal. In con­ clusion he referred to his policy of re­ conciliation and expressed his confidence in its success."
