An Initiated Tramp.

AN INITIATED TRAMP .

We have before maintained that tramps scouring about the country are a regular organised fraternity , having a general understanding with one another , and having a ritual of questions and answers . Their uniform appearance , their periodical visits to the same localities , their regular calls at the houses where they have before procured food , all point to this . Sheriff Walls , of this city , has

found curious emblems about them , has studied their character , and listened to their conversation , until he can tell a regular initiated tramp from an impostor . The following amusing and instructive dialogue took place between thesheriffandoneof a squad of tramps recently committed to jail : " From whence came you ? " " From a town called Jerusalem . "

What s your business here ? " To learn to subdue my appetite and to sponge my living from an indulgent public . " " Then you are a regular tramp , I presume ? " " I am taken and accepted wherever I go . " " How am I to recognise you as a tramp ?" " By the largeness of my feet , and general carnivorous appearance . "

How do you know yourself to be a tramp ? " " In seeking food , by being often denied , but ready to try again . " " How gained you admittance to this town ? " " By a good many long tramps . " " How where you received ? "

" On the end of a night policeman's billy , presented at my head . " " How did the policeman dispose of you ? " " He took me several times around the town to the south , east , and west , where we found the city marshal , police judge , and the jailor , where a great many questions were asked . "

" What advice did he give you ? " " He advised me to walk in upright , regular steps , and to denounce tramping . " "Will you be off or from ?" " With your permission , I'll be off very quick . " " Which way are you travelling ? " " East . "

" Of what arc you in pursuit ? - " Work , which , by my endeavours and assistance of others , I hope I shall never be able to find . " " My friend , you are now at an institution where the wicked are always troublesome and the weary are at rest . You will now be conducted to the middle chamber by a flight of winding stairs , consisting of five or more steps . Instead of corn , wine , and oil , the wages of the ancients .

yours will be bread and water for five daysi When your company escape from this place , divide into parties of three each , take a bee line for Portland or Bangor , where : n the winter they usually run free soup houses , and you may be pardoned on conditions of your never returning . " [ Pointing to Edmunds , turnkey . ] " Follow your conductor , and fear no danger — if you behave yourself . " —American Paper .
