A Revolution Indeed

During sla-very I owned one of the blaökest is wél] as tho meanest uegro meu in South Arkansaa. He was known in the neighborhood as Crow Bain. I nsvd to thrash Sani abóut twiee a week. Steal ! he'd steal from himself and then deny it. Ho went into the anny and served till the surrender. Aftor poace was made, I moved into an adjoining county and went to work, trying to repair my broken fortune. One day a negro tliat I liad working for me knocked down ono of my horses, whicli so enraged me that I struck liim several times with my canc. He went away and rcturued with a constable, who summoned me to appear before a magistrate. Officers wero not so ñmneroús then as now, and the magistrate's ofliee was several miles aw uy. "Well, sir, when I got there, who should I see on the benofi hut old Crow Sam. He was fat and greasy, and had on an enormous pair of spectacles. When everything had been made ready, court was oponed, and old Sam, giving me a seareliing look, remarked : " 'Pears that I've seed yon afore." " Look here, Sam," I said, " I don't ÏÏke to be mixed np this way. Try to settlo this áffiür without malice." "Delawis gwine to Imb its direek conree," said Sam. " Things hab kinder changed since we was in business together, but de principie of de nigger haven't revolutod. Dis nigger is as big a rascal as I used to be, so, Mars' John, I'll discharge yon, flinging the black ape in de cost." - Little Hoek (Ark.) Gazette. A toiing man at a social gathering at Milwsnkee, recently, got into troublo vith another gentleman whose sweetheart he monopohzed; and wlien Jie tearfnlly explained that he had known her for thirty-ftve years, she took a hand in, and nearly scalped him. The New York Sun. favors tlie rpstoration of the wliipping-post for the benefit of grave-robbers, at least.
