BRETT. 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 num- ber with w om 'we ('?onverited,,Weotind Tian til. Ofthe entire i but two who did not i 'coat the idea of e going to work for the urpoae of ; earn- ing an honest livelilio d I and we very much doubt if thestwo Were ready to engage in anylaborious employment." 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 the foot, w that length and the ou it, of about 18 inches and *oh was about two-thirds of were transferred to Greece, 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.

He is jolly, loves to eonveme, especially with the young, andoften enlivens his talk with a sally of wit and humor. Upon speaking to him about the recent 'attacks made by Canon Farrar, !Henry Ward Beecher and others -on the oom- monly accepted belief about hell, he promptly replied, " Why, the bottom of !that was knocked out centuries ago." Upon inquiry 'further he said, With a merry twinkle in his eye, "Does not the Bible say that hell is a bottomlea* pit ?" As he looks back over his long life, what must be his thoughts? Since his birth fie has seen every President from Washington down to Hayes fill - the Presidential chair. • During his life four different monarchs i have nipunted the Britieh throne. The world has been convulsed with the greatest wars in its history, and. the inventions of the telegraph and railroad have even more completely transformed it. The men of his boyhood have all passed away, and he, as probably the last surviving officer in the Battle of Waterloo, is left here alone,a relic of the past.—.Report- er ClevelanLeader. . Row to Cure Gossip.; Adopt this rule :Let all who come to you with stories about mutual acquaint- ances know that you intend, as soon as your duties allow, to wait upon the parties spoken of disparagingly, and re- peat just what was said, and who said it.

The writer visit- ed the old. Veteran at his home Monday afternoon, found hire in Comparatively good health, still able to 'get -around his room, and his mental faoultiek with the exception that his memory is be- ginning to fail him, still sound wad vig- orous, making him, in this respeet, al- most a phenomenon atl his remarkable age. A brief summary`of the life of this old.- Nestor, who has "out -lived more 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 produced several nae e not nnknown in scientitlJc and. theological circles. 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, As his corpse to the ranapart we hurried. 1 • At this time, the war of 1812,break- ing out, he with several other officers and regiments were ordered to America, where he wee engaged in sever4of the more impOrtant battles. But Napoleon, as is well known, liiraa Menacing all Europe atIthis time, and every a-aailable British soldier Weel 'dispatChed ;to the continent, land here McLeod. wap again found with his old regiment at the 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. He came t' the United. States, narrow- onr officer, General Scott, erste arrest him, and came where. for a number of s secreted in a hciuSe on Dodge stree . e here he Wrote a history of the Canadian. Rebellion a copy of which he has retained., Rebellion, also has Written an exhaustive history in two volup-es of the State of Wis- consin. Since he has been in Cleve- land he hs received a pardon for offence from Queen Vic- ! He is now livine, with his 'wife, a. smart, active old lady, several years his junior itt age, at the eorner of Pearl and Detroit streets, at the home of his d augh- -iv ter, Mrs. Beckwith, " if e of the photo= grapher. 1 ,0 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- ' t ly escaping who had or to Clevelan years, he w his political toria. 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. C) W GOODS.

Trint 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.
