Tun GREAT FIRE—INTERVIEWING A TEAM?

—P0L1Tchr.——BuslNEss.

NEW Yoax, Sept. 9th. 1877.

The destruction of Hale’s piano factory
cannot be ranked among the great fires, for it
was only one square that was burned. The
loss of life was entirely unnecessary. Here
was a great six-story building, full of com-
bustibles, and crowded with working-people,
and the only means of escape, in case of fire
which was liable to break out at any moment,
wasa fire ladder at each end and a chain
escape. So long was the building that it was
impossible for those anywhere in the centre
to get to the ladders, and of those who ‘suc-
cecded in passing through the smoke and
flame from burningvarnish andpaint, only
a few got outside where they could use them.
Around the narrow, small windows that
opened to the ladders there was the same
jam that blocke'dith'e doors of the Brooklyn
theatre. A‘thousand-‘dollars in iron ladders
at proper intervals'from :each story would
have enabled every person in the building to
escape. There Oughttobe slaw in every
state compelling manufacturers who mass
large numbers of people to do thisaand make
such provision, and in a very liberal manner.
Only a year ago, the same tragedy. occurred
in a factory in Massachusetts, and in the city
of New York there are a thousand buildings
liable to go at any time. But it won't be
done. Thereovill be a great deal said, the
Hales when they rebuild will probably put
on their building.r more ladders, but no one
else will, and in a week or two there will be
another wholesale destruction of lives.

THE 'I‘RAHP QUESTION.

We have got to face another irruption of
tramps very soon. . The cold season has com-
menced in the north-east, and the advance
guard of the army has already shown itself.
The sturdy thieves are getting more and
more common in, the parks,.and back areas
that are accessiblegand hall-ways that are
carelessly left open; fare being already robbed.
There is an alarming increase Of sturdy, un-
sliaven, unshorn, ‘un‘kcptmei'l standing on the
streets, looking with villainous eyes into
houses, to see whether robbery or beggary
will do best, and -the police are becoming
more andclmore busy'withvagrauts. Those
who got far west during the summer, are not
here ya, but when they come we shall have
our hands full.

I asked one of them which he preferred,
the city or the country. With charming
frankness he ansWered, " the country, of
course, when the weather is warm enough to
admit of sleeping in the open air,or in barns."

“You_see,”_said the vagabond; “in the city
the cups arc‘l‘llwgys a watchin’of us, and you
can’t do not-hin"without takin‘ a blasted risk.
But. -in the. country, bless you, ther’ ain’t
nothin’ to stand in the way. Two of us
watches till the modem away in the fields,
and we know ther' ain’t nobody in the house
but women. Then we goes up and asks for
suthin’ to cat, which we don’t reely want,
for we kin-kill and roast as many chickens
as we Want. But while the wOmen are givin’
us suthin' to eat, we sights about, and if ther'
is any loose property layin’ round, we gobbles
it. If the .women make any fuss we show a
pistol, and that ends it. We- don't steal
enough to make it worth their while to foller
us very far, and besides they are afraid,-—-for
we have a dozen or two in a neighborhood.

“Do the women never make resistance P"

“Certainly they do. Every now and then
we strike one who has a' revolver and a big
dog, and they make it warm for us. I have
a hole through my left leg, that a woman in
Steuben County, New York, put there. And
my pardner was nearly finished by a bull-
dog, and then the men come up,_and they
beat as nearly to death. But ther' ain’t no
biznis that you don't have to take chances
in,”

“If you can get all that you want~to eat,
without invading houses, what do you want
to take these chances ?” ‘

“Eatin’ ain’t all ther' 'is of life. Clothes
don’t bother us much, but ther’ is likker and
tobacker. Them you hev to pay for, in
suthin’, for you can’t walk into a saloon and
bluff ’em out of them. No indeed! I wish
we could. But them we must have, and then
we like to hev jamborees when a lot of us
git together, and then we hev to take keer of
our wimmen, and one woman will drink more
and smoke more than two men. They git
crazy and are very expensive. No, we liev
to hev suthin’ besides our eatin'."

“If you prefer the country when it is
warm, why don't you go South in the win-
ter 1’" 7

“We tried that, but it won’t work. We
kin git along with the weather, but you see
the country is so thinly settled that it takes too
much walkin’ to git from house to house. And
then, they don't live well enough. They.
cook terrible, and I won't" live‘ on hog and
hominy and all sorts of grease. I could have
done it once, but my stomach ain’t what it
used to be. I’m gittin’ old and have to have
things better than I used to: I feel it all day
if 1 don’t have coffee 'in the mornin’, and I
must have a great many other things which
they ain’t used to in the South. And besides
all this, they are too handy with their wea-
pons down ther’. In the North when they
git after us they arrest us, and takes us very
carefully to jail,-and they brings us tracts,
and treats 'us’ kindly; so as to reform us, and
the wimmen visit us, to try the' efect of
kindness on us errin’ ones, and they feed as
mighty well, and altogether it ain't. a bad

thing for a rest. And then we gits out, and-

goes our way, recooperated, and good for a
a great deal of walkin’. Now down South
it ain’t that way iii: at]. If you go into a
house and scare the wimmen, the men ain’t
far off, and they git on their horses and hunt
us. Andvthey don’t arrest us anther. When
they come up with us, they are jest as likely
as not to put a charge of buck shot through
us, for ther’ ain’t no inquiry about such
things. Out of a party of fourteen of us
that went down into North Carolina, only
five ever got back North. And then I don’t
like niggers, and you have to do a great deal
of stayin’ with ’em. Niggers ain’t to my
taste. I never did like ’em, and I can’t over-
come the prejudis. They are an inferior
race". g

“Don't you find it rather hard to find com-
fortable places to sleep, in the city ?”

_“Sometimes. Now and then we get into
the station-house, and there are always empty
boxes, and warm corners. It ain’t as pleasant
as the Windsor Hotel, but we are satisfied.”

“Why don‘t you try work a little while ?"

The man’s face took a curious expression.

“Work! we work! -Why, we might as
well be labrin men to once! none of that for
me. There is one city in the west which I
got into last fall, where they arrest us, and
put us in a stone-yard, breakin’ stone for the
streets—Toledo. ‘ They got me once, and
kept me at it two weeks. I wouldn't go
within a hundred miles of that city, if I
knew it, fora fortune. P Think of woxkiu’
ten hours a day, and feedin' us on bread and
water! They don’t know how to treat pec-
ple ther’."

The vagabond went away, with an cxprc»
sion of sadness on his countenance. Tie
remembrance of his brief stay in Toledo,
where the city is wise "enough to make them
carnthe bread they cat, was too much for
him. He doubtless brooded over it all the
day.

What Toledo does, every city and town in
the country should do; The moment a beg-
gar appears on the streets of that city, he is
arrested, is taken to barracks provided for
such cumberers of the earth, and if able to
work, is set to breaking stone. .thn his
time is up, he is given a loaf of bread and a
piece of meat, and is dismissed with the as-
surance if he-returns-he' will] be retained a
still longer period.» None of them return.
Every state" in the Union ought, this winter,
to have legislation empowering magistrates

to commit these pests, at sight. The city

I

. prove of'it.

will have fifty thousand of them within its
borders this winter, who will go out as soon
as Spring opens, to infest the country. Eve-
ry one of them is a thief, whenever thieving
can be done safely, and murder is only ab-
stained from because it isn’t safe. The tramp
proper came to this country from England,
but it wasn’t long till the American vagabond
adopted his tactics. They have signs and
language of their own. and where one or
two are -seen, you may ‘ be sure
there are more. They work in gangs, and
can be rallied within a few hours. They are
vicious, useless and dangerous, and society
owes it to itself to extirpate them. There
ought to be the most stringent legislation
against them in all the states, this winter.

. POLITICAL.

We of New York are looking anxiously to
the Western States that hold elections this
Fall. It would be a shame if the Republi-
cans allowed themselves, by upatliy or any
feeling 'of discontent, to be beaten. Presi-
dent Hayes is the first man occupying the
chair, who ever attempted anything like gen-
uine reform in the. management of the gov-
ernment, and if the 'people desire reform,
it is due themselves as well as him, that this
Fall they endorse him. Ohio, and Pennsyl-
vania, ought both to be carried by the Re-
publicans, by decided majorities. If the Re-
publicans of the country could be here and
know how gigantic were the evils he attack-
ed, and how thoroughly he rooted them out,
they would be as enthusiastic for him as we
are. And if they could realize how desper-
ately the democracy are fighting to get con-
trol four years from now, they would take
off their coats and see to it that this, the pre-
liminary skirmish, is not lost. Let them re-
member that he has reduced the expenses of
the government, millions, that he is purging
the civil service, and that he is doing all that
man can do, to purify and reform the gov-
erument, and say by their votes that they ap-
It would be a burning shame
to lose the elections this Fall.

BUSINESS

is better and is getting better every day. The
Southern merchants are here in great num-
bers, and are buying largely. The crops are
now certain, and there can be no question as
to there being a large and healthy trade this
Winter. The North is a little behind, but
they are coming, and the stream is increasing
in volume every day. The weather is delight-
ful, and the health of the city good. PiETno,

 

A VACATION CRUISE.

 

TO FIRE ISLAND AFTER BLUE FISH

 

.BilOOKLrN, N. Y. SEPT. 8 it 1877.

This city by the sea is very favorably situated
for the enjoyment of summer leisure. It is
many degrees cooler than the Kickerbocker
neighbor, for strong breezes from the ocean
sweep into temper the sultriness of the air,
coming direct and fresh from the cOast. Its
proximity to the sea makes it very easy, in
the heats of mid’summer, for a whole
family, baby included, with their lunch bas-
kets, to run away to Coney Island or Rocka-
way and stay from morning till night on the

forever.

No place is more given to picnic parties,
excursions and pleasure trips then this city,
owing, no doubt, to Young America being in

' amajority here, and the ease with which,

even after quite long trips, the shelter of one's
own conrfortable house may be reached at
fight. During the summer the waters were
daily crowded with steamers loaded to their
guards with people, and even yet multitudes
throng them, while yachts, sailboats, sloops
and schooners go similarly freighted, some
seeking only a snuff of the sea, others after
fish.

Your correspondent was, a few days ago,
one of a small party of gentlemen who cruis-
ed to Fire Island for blue fish. A portion of
the party went by the Long Branch boat from
New York to Sandy Hook, where the yacht
sloop Commodore, Captain Ellsworth, met
us. The Commodore and Admiral are twin
sloops, owned byJoseph Ellsworth, of Bayon-
ne, and used during most of the year in the
oyster business between Virginia and New
York. The Commodore is a perfect model of
a yacht rigged with large mast and large sails.

prize; she gained a splendid reputation. But
a younger brother of the owner taking her in
the winter to Virginia, unwisely crowded on
canvass and she capsized. Butshe was sound
and buoyant, and Mr. Ellsworth coming after
her with a tug, towed her back to New York,
where, although she sank, she was raised,
fitted with shorter mast and smaller sails and
taken out of the yacht races.

The party being all aboard we sailed for
Rockaway under a light breeze, passing
through the lower bay within sight of the
light ship. That evening we reached Rocka-
way in season to take a plunge in the surf.
Under an awning on deck, upon comfortable
mattresses we enjoyed a refreshing sleep
without the hum of a single mosquito, with
which musical creature Rockaway is at times
abundantly blest. The ship has a commodi-
ous cabin, but we preferred the open air.
The next morning our sails were up at an
early hour and we were soon outside upon
the ocean, in a good breeze, hauling in fish.

citing than blue-fishing, when theyare plenty
enough to keep all hands busy Alarge fleet
were engaged in the same work, to some a
sport as it was with us, to others a business,
their object purpose being the supply of the
New York market. Thus fishing and sailing,
telling yarns, and eating large meals with
large appetites, we reached shortly after dark
Fire Island, a noted fashionable watering
place, where aristocratic families from all the
cities put in, every summer, a few weeks of
sensible enjoyment, living quite alfresco,
free equally from the annoyances of a mixed
crowd and from the tyranny of absurd display.
The Surf house, the only hotel, has accommo-
dations for 350 persons. A small steamer to
Babylon connects with the train to Hunter’s
Point and New York. The bay in front is
of still water, but a few rods .Of plank walk
laid over the sand brings you to the ocean
side where the surf breaks in a ceaseless roar.
The plank walk around this hotel are all
protected from the sun by a light roof. In
such a spot as this you get the benefit of the
air and healthfulness of a sea voyage, while
you need pay no tribute to Neptune. That
night on our sloop, I stowed away in the jib,
and can heartily recommend it to others as a
very enjoyable couch. .

The next morning a visit to the lighthouse
give as clear view of the coast for many miles,
with its peninsulas, inlets and bays. The
light is a Fresnel revolving illuminating, cost-
ing with its clock work- over $10,000. It is
one of the most important on the coast and
sends a powerful stream Of light for many
miles to sea. The lighthouse itself is 166
feet above high water. It was but a short
distance from it on this neck of solid that
years ago the distinguished American writer,
Margaret Fuller, then Countess d' OssOIi, was
lost in the wreck of an Italian ship by which
she was returning to the United States. The
officers mistook the light for that" Of [Sandy
Hook and carried their vessel with sublime

ers.

Away from Fire Island We were soon at
blue fishing again and running under a good
breeze for home. Late in the afternoon,
while the sun was casting agolden glory over
all New York bay, we floated past Coney,
Island, close in. Its crowd of brightly paint-
ed hostelries, its depots, cottages and aquari-
um building decorated with flags and stream-
ers, the masses of people tllronging its stretch
of shore, and the boats with bands Of music
coming up from Rockaway combined to give
the whole scenea gala aspect. The soft glow
of evening was on the waters when. running
up with the tide, we came to off Fort Hamil-
ton and landed on the shore of that beautiful
suburb of New- York, from which by horse-
car we soon reached home and bed in Brook-
lyn. R. B. S.

A careful study of the various working-
men’s, commune, greenback, silver dollar,
granger, and other such platforms, has on-
abled us to understand what it is that the
dissatisfied classes desire. Their main ob-
jects appear to bethese': ’

Abundant employment, so that every man,
woman and child can - have constant work;
but they must aot‘orkrover eight hours a
day, “a let the rest of the work go undone.
'Iligheprices for floor, pork,-snd all pro-
duce, for the benefit of'the farmers; but
cheap flour, beef, pork, and produce for the

' workingmen.

High wages, making the cost of all manu-
factures high; but cheap

Low prices for transporta' tinn, so that the
railroads cannot make any money; but high
wages for railroad empIOyes.

Lots of money, to bring gold up to twenty
or thirty per cent. premium; but ' 10'? inter-
est, cheap prices, no ban“, and no specula-
tion, so that the money can’t earn anything.
Railroads, banks, vessel lines, coal and iron
mines,- and great manufabtories,‘ who are
'earning so little now that they can't pay good

wages, must pay higher wages, and yet rc-‘
duce their prices and diminish their incomes.

Gold must be made higher; and, at the
same time, be made lower.

Silver must be increased in price to a par
with gold; but it must be cheaper than ei-
ther gold or gl‘eenbmks. _ V

There must be more greenbacks, thereby
making them worth less; but they must be
worth more. .

Bank bills must be abolished ; "but not low
any of their value. ‘ . ., . .

Everybody must be made able to live with-
oat work, or with very little work ;‘ and all
must work less time; but at the same time,
there must be a great deal more to do.

There must be great retrenchment and
economy in the public business; and public
works must be stopped, the army and navy
decreased, thousands of clerks and officials
discharged; but the . governalent must give
employment to thousands more than it now
does, at good wages. , ‘

' The government must buy and run the
railroads and telegraphs without taxing any-
body to purchase and run them, and without
employing any more office-holders to manage
them. It must run them below cost,_a_nd yet
make them pay a profit. ‘ P ‘

Silver dollars must be coined worth only
ninety-two‘ccnt's: bnt'every'body' must take
them as worth one hundred, cents, and yet
nobody lose anythingby the Operation.

Every child must-be taught a trade; but
there must be no ‘appréfitides.

We must getback‘to‘specie payments ;-but
without resumption. » . . ~ - ,. -

These are only a few specimens of the de-
mands made by these platforms. It ‘is well
to knew precisely what is wanted, at least in
the essentials, so that due preparation can be
made to grant it. If there are any carping
orifice who say that these demands are im.
possible of realization, let them prepare to

The death of Brigham Young ’ possesses a
local interest, inasmuch as he formuly resid-
ed at Port Byron, where a small, dwelling is
pointed out as his workshop than. home,
and also because the fourth of- his twenty-
nine wives was'liiss Harriet Cook, sister of
Captain E. S. 0601:, ofGilbert Mills in- this

says she married Brigham soon after 1830,
and she has ever been a devoted wife, and
one of the most earnest andintelligentjwork-
ers of their faith. In the abandincnt ofNau-

correspondent of the Cincinnati: Gm: says
of her: “She married Brigham soon after
