This is all we can ask. 1t is both Just
and honorable. The letter came postage
paid, and the subscriber has fully compli,
ed with the terms as published weekly
Indeed he has done more. The time has
not quite come for adding fifty cents for
delay beyond the end of the year. We
shall take only two dollars and fifty cent.
Of the brother for the 9Th volume. The
other dollar and fifty cents will pay 70,
three fourths of the present volume; and
inasmuch as the brother is poor-but es,
pecially as he is honorable and just in the
matter-we will give him the remaining
quarter. Perhaps by that time he will be
able to resume his subscription, avail him,
self of the benefit of paying in advance
ana continue to be a reader of the Tele

with reluctance We rather lose two OF
three that might be selected from our list

THE TELEGRAPH.
BRANDON, WEDNESDAY, JAN. l..
NERO AND CALIeuLA OUTCOME,

Abolitionists say that American slave
ry is, in principle and in practice, terri
bic system Of cruelty and blood. For this
they are either traduced as base liars, or
condemned as miserable fanatics and sick
ly philanthro2ists. They must not, how
ever. and they will not cease to make a
faithful exhibition of truth, until such
times as truth is better known and better
appreciated. To manifest doubts, at this
day, of the diabolical wickedness and
fiendish atrocity in present and constant
practice as the Legitimate results of Amer
lean slavery, is to betray great and unpar-
donable ignorance ofthe subject.
Two weeks ago we gave an account Of
Lewis TapPan's receiving by mail, from
unknown, bloody hands, a human ear,
supposed to have been cut from the head
of a slavel We now have on our table
the N.rbern IN. CO. Spectator, of Dec.
2, 1886, which exhibits a still more graph
&c picture Of the stupendous system Of
wholesale murder and monstrous iniquity
now in practical, full operation in one
halfthe States ofthis Union. More graph.

A. LUDICRoUs STORY.
Mississippi Currency

JutSStsStppt currency
On passing up the Mississippi a few
days ago, we had among our passengers
two friends journeying to the far west;
one much reduced by sickness, and the
other an active, noble hearted, hot head
ed Kentuckian who during our passage,
had been unremitting in his attention to
his debilitated companion We stopped
for wood our Kentucky friend bounded
on shore, and was not again seen until
the moment that the plank was being
hauled on board, and the signal made
for departure. We then beheld him is
suing from behind a pile of wood. a
bundle dangling in one hand and with the
other dragging halfstarved, unwilling
cur, ia grape vine having been well Sc
cured about his neck,) who with his
forepaws extended, literally ploughing
up the mud, vainly resisting the power
of our athletic companion. All gazed
with astonishment, but none thought it
advisable, under his present excitement,
(or he appeared to be in boiling ragc,)
to enquire into the cause of his absence
and strange reappearance. He directed
his course to the cabin where the inva.
lid was reclining and forgetting in his fu-
ry, how brittle were the contents Of his
bundle, pitched it on the table, exclaim-
/ ing, "thcrc are your eggs and there"
jerking forward the miserable looking
dog, "her's my change" A general
burst of laughter followed his explana-
ton, nor could the good-hearted fellow
himself refrain, when beholding the hav-
oc he had made, for the broken eggs
were streaming from the table, and the
currency most voraciously devouring
the luscious meal. His story was short
he had gone to purchase eggs for his
companion five dollar note was the
smallest he had, the eggs cost rs cents,
and when he presented his bill, the wood
man told him he had no otter change
than litter of pups, too young tobc ta-
ken from the slut, or the dog which had
afforded US so much amusement.-Cor,

the canvass was spread, the hawsers
cast off, and the old weather-beaten pilot
says he never heard so little noise, or
saw such a temperate and obedient
crew on board any vessel that he ever

Our friend, who sent us manuscript tale
last week, is informed, that we have no OBJ
joction to publishing old stories, provided they
are well told, but it is our opinion that when
an author plagarises whole story, he should,
at least, improve on the old manner of telling
it. If the matter was intended as hoax, we
would suggest to the author the propricty of
digging deeper, for he mstook our =" draught
