A Detaotive among irvamps.•
Chia' f Deteetive Stephenson' ' of Mas.
sadutsetts, was sent out withanother
man last summer to 'Allay the part, of
au. amateur taaanp. From his report
we make the following extracts:
"July 10.—Left Springfield. Very
soon met two tramps, and we imme-
diately made inquiries as to our pros:
pets for. getting food- and: lodgings
while we were pursuing oar hiveatiga-
tient. These men informed me that
we could get very little f by bogging,
excepting dry bread, an sometimes a
little milk; that they generally stole
what they got. These men were Irish,
22- and 44 years of age, one &shoemaker,
by trade, and the other a tailor; they
said they could get work if they desired,
but preferred to tramp; they only
worked when they wanted money to get
liquor, and not then if they could steal
it. One had; tramped five and theother
eight years. We all slept together in
the woods during the night at a place
war Blandford, and pasted company in
the morning, after furnishing them with
some tobacco.
"July 11—Started from Blandford to-
ward Russell; soon met a tramp, a
Frenchman full fifty years of age. He
had tramped about eight years; went
with him. He said he had tramped
through the country during the summer
and fall, going to one of the larger cities
when the cold weather came on, where
he generally managed to get arrested
for some petty criine for the purpose of
getting a sentence that would keep Trim
in °Armen:tent during the winter
months. We gave him some bread.
He had with him a large valise con-
taining four bottles of gm among other
things. This man was on the road to
Buffalo, N. Y. Slept during the night
at Russell.
July 13.—Left the barn quite early
where we had passed. the night ; soon met
three tramps; went with them into the
woods, where we found fourteen more.
Our party now numbered twenty. Of
these,. three were German, two Dutch-
men, one Swede, ong Frenchman, three
Americans, and the, remainder Irish.
They had been camped in this place
some five days, subsisting principally
upon chickens and potatoes which hacl
been stolen in the night, Concluded to
remain with this gangfor a time.
"July 14.—We divided into four
squads, each of which was to take its
turn in providing food for the gang.
The Germans went out to -day and re-
turned. with a small pig, nine chiekes,
a quantity of eggs and bread, all of
which, with the exception of the bread,
were stolen. They carried with them
fish-hooks and lines, whieh they used
for catching chickens, simply by putting
on a kernel of corn for bait. In many
instances when they have rum, they
soak bread with it and feed the fowls,
which are soon in a condition to be
easily captured.
July IA—Concluded to leave this lo-
cality, as it was getting rather hot on ac-
count of the depredations made upon
the people in the vicinity. We divided
into four parties in order to avoid sus-
picion, taking two different routes to the
town of Washington, The party who
passed over each route first was to
mark with chalk (one party using red
and the other blue) the prominent points
in their routes, for the guidance of those
who were to follow. An arrow is usual-
ly made upon large rooks, trees, &c.,
particularly at the cross roads, to direct
each gang to the place of rendezvous.
Nearly all of the regular tramps carry
eilafic of different colors. The French-
man left the gang to -day. A short time
after he left some of the party, fearing
that he might sell them out to the
I II
- a
fl
pie in the town, and cause them
uble on account of the thefts corn-
milted, followed hire for the .purtose of
• compelling -hire to return; but they
failed. to find them. Slept in the woods
at night around a glare fire, but suffered
very much from the cold.
"July 18.—It rained vdary hard when
morning came, but we intended to
move on; were prevented. by the fact
that most of the party were sick from
the effects of bay rum stolen from a
farmer's wagon. We finally started at
about dusk, toward Hinsdale, passed
through Pittsfield during the night,
went through singly because the old
tramps thought if we , were
caught we should be taken to the
lock-np and made to work in the morn-
ing for lodging and breakfast. -This
plan of working to pay for board is not
in accordance • with the ideas that
-
tramps entertain as to what hi just and
equitable. We reached the Shaker vil-
lage abont-nine o'eloek on the morning
of j-oly 19. Some of the gang went out
to beg; got altwe wanted to eat from
the Shakers, who always give liber-
ally.
"-July 22.—Passed through Hinsdale
very early. About two miles out we
net a gang of eight tramps, who were
on their way to Pennsylvania to join
the railroad riots. They prepoaed to
travel on the railroad •tracks, separating
and going single through the villages,
stealing rides ou freight trains if pos-
sible, and expected to reach Pennsyl-
vania in about a week. Left them and.
travelled until nearly midnight, when
we met four others who were also bound
for the riots. Got a supper off therd,
consisting of roasted potatoes, beef and
ham, which they said they had got by
begging. One of the party was very
well dressed, with plenty of cigars in
his pocket. He wore a large plain gold
ring. His appearance inclicatedthat he
had been but a short time on the tramp.
Aiaothermart in. this gang had a large va-
lise containing alight buggyha,rness. He
said he raised. it this side of Springfield.
Left them, and arrived at Huntington.
Slept in a barn by permission of the
Gev nein
"August 1.—The whole gang started
on the tramp toward the town of Wash-
ington , we met another party of thirty-
three tramps in the woods about twenty
miles fro in Pittsfield. In reply to the
question as to what theywere upto,they
said they were waiting for a strike on
the Boston and Albany Railroad ; there
were scattered. about in that country
about four hundred men, who were all
waiting to join the strikers. These men
appeared ready for any plan of pillage
and destruction that was propotied. The
proposition made to burn the small de -
on the road would. have been car-
ried into effect, except for our remon-
strances and the argument that it would
be laid to the poor men who were em-
ployed on the road. The plan of soap-
ing the rails at various places, for the
purpose of stopping the cars, was dis-
cussed; but feeling sure there would be
a strike, nothing was attempted, they
preferring to wait. During all thei time
we were engaged in tramping, we made
it our busbies., et the suggestion of the
chief kieteetive, t� i -ascertain whether
it Was Pile lack of employment that
caused th , people Ito become wander-
ers and

The Foot and the Pound
i
The foot nma the pound are found in
almost every country,and have evident-
ly been derived directly from theRo-
mans. But they can claim 4 far higher
antiquity, for Mr. Chisholm trace their
origin to the Babyloniani or Chal teens
s.
who, as units of length used bot the
cubit and the foot. These were subse-
quently adopted by the Egyptians who
introduced considerable variety, so that
there is no little :confusion between the
different kinds of cubit and ;foot. I The
natural en

it, having balsa into (liana°
the foot became the ordinary standard
of the R0111041B. At the same time the
double cubit, which was equivalent to
three feet would appear to have survived
in the form, of the ell of xneaiteval
Europe, and, in that of our ownLyard.
As all these measures were originally
derived from the proportipns of the hu-
man body, Some caution is necessary in
referring their origin to remote antiquity
rather than, directly to the length of the
forearm, or :of the foot. It must be ad-
mitted, however, that the coincidence
of length , ,among all civilized na-
tions is very striking. The derivation
of the pouad weight is more compli-
cated. The earlier Towerpound appears
to have been of Roma; origin, being pre-
sumably identical with the .Greek -Asi-
atic mina, while the hundredweight cor-
responded to the talent or weight of a
cubic feet of water. , Subsequently the
Troy pound was substituted, and, for
commercial transactions, the pound
avoirdupois, 'from the old. French pound
of 16 ounces. It is ',evident, however,
that our weights and measures in the
dark ages were in an unsettled state, and
subject to arbitrary alterations at the
will of the monarch. I— The Saturday

Donald 4RicLeod, an old Waterloo

most a phenomenon atl his remarkable

than three generation a of men,", may
prove interesting. •
! ,
He was born at 4berdeen, Scotland,
in 1779, asetated above, and received a
thorough eollegiate education at the
old Scottigh University of Aberdeen,
graduating! from that famous institution
in 1802 with a claws., which sines has

While he , as in the niveraitY, Lord
Byron, thea a lad of ten or eleven years,
was in the., preparatory department.
The General well remembers him, and
says that he -little dreamed that the lit-
tle, surly,, quick-tempered, lame boy,
who was always fighting his school
mates, was destined to be the author of
" Childe Harold." Although McLeod
was educatea,for the ministry, he never
entered. it, bit went, into the British
Navy, and subsequently was transfer-
red to the Army, having obtained a
commission in that famous Forty-
second Highlan.derstknown the world
over as the "Black Watch," and with
this engaged in the Peninsular wars, be-
ing present at all the inaportant battles,
such as Badajos and Corunna. At the
latter 'place the British General, Sir
John Moore, was killed, and. McLeod.
being Major in his regiment, was select-
ed as one of the Pall bearers at his
funeral, in honor efiwhich, was writ-
ten that well-known poem, beginning
with,
Not a dram was heard, uot a funeral note,

Battle of Waterloo, in 1815. Here he
served with distinction, being severely
wounded, and receiving, several Medals
for his brave conduct. Owing to his
wounds he left the eervice and. went to
Canada -where, fora number of , years,
he edited. a journa1 and took a promin-
ent part in the political agitations there,
which finally culminated in the rebel-
lion of 1837 and '38., OWing to his past
services, he Was made General of the
Patriot Forces, but they were soon de-
feated by an overwhelming force of the
.Red Coat, and. the prime movers of the
Rebellion forced to flee for their lives.

If spared the old couple expect to
celebrate the 60th anniversary of their
wedding clay on the 12th of February
next. Although itinay be a matter of
surprise ta many that we have in our
midst an old. Waterloo veteran, yet it
must be more a matter of surprise that
this. old gentleman, like an old century
-
plant, sheuld still be among us, and re-
tain his faculties so fresh as he has.
His knowledge of the Greek and Latin
classics, to say nothing' of his general
information, may well put to shame-

You will have to do this probabli- not
more than three times. It trill fly
among your acquaintanoes on the wings
of gossips, and persons who come to talk
against other persons in your presence„
will begin to feel as if they were testify-
ing under oath. -
But you ask, "will it not be mean to
go off and detail oonversations ?" Not
at all when your interlocutor under-
stands that he must not talk against an
absent person in your presence without
expecting you to convey( the words to
the absent person, and the name of the
speaker. Moreover, what right has any
man or woman to approach you and
bind you to secrecy, and then poison
your mind against another? If there
be any difference in your obligations,are
you not bound more to the man who is
absent than the man Who is present?
If you can thus help kill gossip it will
not matter if you lose a friend or
such friends as these, who talk against
others to you, are the very persons to
talk against youto them.
Remarkable Dream.
On the night of the recent railway so-
thdent in Connecticut, J. L. Bragg, of
Canaan, dreamed that he saw's, man at
work upon the bridge taking off thenuts
from the end of the iron rods, till, hear-
ing the whistle of the approaching train,
he ran off, and the next moment Mr.
Bragg heard in his dream the cars go
plunging down into the river, heard the
cries of the wounded and saw the strug-
gles of the dying,ell in affright be awoke
and else awakened his wife, who slept
by his side. He asked her if the train
had come in yet. She did not know.
Mr. Bragg said: "It has not come,, and
it will not come to -night. The bridge
at Tariffville has been tampered with,
and the train has been wrecked." So
positive was he that a disaster had oc-
curred, that he dressed and went to the
depot, where the station -master inform-
ed him that the train was over -due, and.
told him his dream.

A. good story is told of a minister and
one of his elders, who took a ramble on
a Saturday afternoon to see a bit of the
country. Their long walk quickened
their appetite, and in order tto get some-
thing to satisfy the cravings of nature
they called. at the house of a female par-
ishioner, who set before them her little
store of oat -cakes and butter, to which
they did. ample justice, as the sequel
will show. To improve the visit, the
miniater asked his hostess when shelled
been at church, and what was the sub-
ject treated of. She replied, giving the
date and the subject but looking anx-
iously at her fast disappearing bannocks.
The subject happened to be the feeding
of the thousands with the few loaves
and fishes, and the good woman took
occasion to remark, "Deed, sir, if they
were a' as hungry as you an Mr. ,
there wadna been sae mony baskets tae
tak.up."
Not Sane.
Man is not a vain anin' aal, far from it.
And. yet,when he receives from the dear-
est girl in the world a pair of number
five slippers he gazes complacently at a
pair of feet big enough te wear the Hoo -
sac tunnel and murmurs fondly: "Dear
girl." A sensible Burlington girl last
month presented her sweetheart with a
'pair of slippers he could. wear. They
were about 18 inches long, four inches
straight &tress the toes, and. each had. a
bay window at the port side to accom-
modate the bunions for which he split
his boots. ,And. do you know that man
got so read he threw the slippers out of
the window and hasn't spoken to the
girl since ?—Bwrlington Hawkeye.
