The difference between a "hobo'
and a '"tramp" was a subject of dis
cussion on the streets ot Raleigh yes
terday out, of a local notice referring
to a "female hobo." It was contend
ed that a "hobo" was always a man,
and a man with a trade. A gentle
man, who claims to know all about
thee specks of peripetetic individuals
says there is nothing in common bc
t.ween a hobo'anda tramp, and thus
defines them : '
"A tramp .is a man who will not
work under any circumstances, takes
a pri-de. in .living without work, .nd
! uespibes tuose vvny uu vvurx. .
A. hobo is a person who will work,
but on account ol his drinking habits
cannot keep a job. He is merely ' a
skilled mechanic who has been over
come bv strong drink. A tramp has
no use for him and regards him as a
pestilent fellow-whose, actions tend to
bring the tramp profes'idn into disre
pute.', , '
The future dictionary makers will
do well to preserve these definitions.

Monday in thef midst of a driving
rain. Soon the wind increased to a
terrific storm, the rain coming down
in sheets and the wind almost throw
ing the buggy over. Coming to a
deserted house he stopped as if to
go in. Suddenly a. terrific roar was
heard behind him. Looking back he
saw a dense, black cloud hovering
over the ground, reaching to the top
of the trees. He could see big, tall
pines falling in every direction and
splintering across each other, wh le
the noise was appalling.
It was rushing rapidly in his direc-
tion and seeing his. peril he whipped
up his horse- Tfce latter, a thorough
bred, took the bit in his teeth and N
started on a dead run up the road.
Nearer and nearer came the hurricane
and he could hear the noise of falling
trees a few rods back of him, the
frantic efforts of his horse barely
keeping in front of the terrific whirl
wind. Suddenly he felt an upward twist of
his buggy and realized that he was
riding in midair, as it were, the rear
end of the buggy being lifted up over
a foot from the ground. Frantically
he applied the whip, and for a few
seconds the race between grim death
and him "was a terrific one, The
horse, wild with terror, sped onward
with his utmost sped, the buggy ca
reening from side to side, running on
the two front uheVis, aQ it was all he
could do to .keepfrom. being dashed
over the side. Suddenly he felt the
buggy settle down' in to the road again
and he knew he was safe. The horse,
ran half a mile before he could be
pulled up. -Looking back, Harvey
saw that1 the roadway he had just
passed over was so thickly strewn
with fallen trees that. he could have
walked a mile on the trunks without
i
touching the ground. The whirlwind
had ceased as suddenly as it came,
For a distance of four jniles and a h
quartet in width the destruction was

The old curiosity shop, which
Dickens made famous, has been torn
down. It has had to give way to
progress, and a handsome modern
building now covers the site of the
venerable structure where Dickens
placed Little Nell, and expended so
much pathos. It has been occupied
for nearly half a century by a paper
dealer, who used its historical associa
tion with skill as an adveitisement.
Chicago Record.
Kentuck is Prosperous,
A dispatch from Vers1 aillesf, Ky..
says that most of the farmers in that
vicinity are holding their wheat in the
hope of getting a dollar a bushel for
it. The Philadelphia Record re
marks upon this that "the hope may
not be realized ; but the fact that they
are able to hold shows .that they are
in goodcohdition financially, and that '
they are not pressed to meet any
mortgage indebtedness." The ad-',
vance in the price of wheat within ; a
year , has been something extraordi
nary. It has gone up 20 cents a
bushel, and .we have seen an estimate
that this advance, means a gain ot
$92,000000 to the American farmer.
This is indeed a very pretty penny.;
