THE THREE JOLLY HUSBANDS.

Three Jolly husbands, out in the country, by the
names of Tim Watson, Joe Brown, and Bill Walker
sat late one evening drinking at the village tavern,
until, being pretty well corned, they agreed thtt
each one returning home should do fhc frs, thing
that his vile told him, in default Of which he should

separated for the night, engaging to meet

The rext morning Walker and Brown were early
at their pos,s; but il was some timo before Watson
made his appearance. Walker logan first

this experiment to advantage, and fill their barns

In curing stalks, it is recommended TO place
the small -ead upon the ground, with the butts
upward, to guard against the absorption of mois-

experiment of cutting flowers, and putting some

NEGRoEs-J.NAIcA

The Kingston, Jamaica, Journal of the 10th
| October, contains the proceedings of public
meeting, held in the Court House of st. George,
! to take into consideration the state of the
country. conseqent upon the emancipation of
the slaves and sorry picture is drawn. 1t
is said that the emancipation in Jamaica led
to great speculation in sugar colonies where
slavery is allowed, and consequently, evil re.
suited to the free colonies. After speaking OF
the increase of slavery in Brazil; 1t is added -
Porto Rico made still greater exertions, for
in four years the amount of the crops were
doubled, being in 1886, 49s, 700, and in 1910,
100000 cwts. The slave trade of the Bra
ellis increased with such vigor, after our eman-
cipation act passed, that from 1886 to 1889.
no less than 100000 slaves were imported into
the Portuguese settlement whilst the British
colonies are living PROSTATE for want of labor
ers for hire.
With such facts before us, the equalization
of duties upon foreign sugar and coffee at this
crisis of our agricultural distress, would be the
signal for the immediate desertion of our pro-
fitless estates, and the final abandonment Of
this island as an exporting colony.
There is but one way to meet the difficulties
arising from the deficiency ofWest India pro-
duce, with justice to us and to the cause OF
freedom-tbat is BY promptly introducing an
abundant population of free recOmpensed At
rican laboreres, in connection with European
i'm migration. Government have it in their
power, by bold and decisive efforts, to restore
the former cultivation of the colonies in two or
three years, so rs not only to supply the mar
kct abundantly with cheap produce, but also
TO make them work out the extreme Of eman-
cipation in the western world, by the example
of their prosperity and exertions.
Another resolution proposes petition to
the Queen, for liberty to introduce free labor
ers from Africa, and Opening an honorable
and direct intercourse between the West In
dies and Africa, under the auspices ofGovern-
ment, it would give positive death-blow 10
the slave trade, and might be the means, under
Divine Providence, of eventually civilizins and
evangelizing fourth quarter of the globe, dis
tinguished for nothing but abject debasement,
and dark heather idolatry."-United States

AN OWL, STORY.

We accidently heard of a droll anecdote
yesterday, which we believe quite new and
original.
Dispensing with all promising rigmaroles,
it is only necessary to state at once, that Col.
Stentor was at one time legislator in GER
tain legislative hall. He had been an Indian
agent among the Osages, and whenever he
took the floor he was exceedingly famous for
making tropes and SMILES ofbufaloes, wolves,
panthers, bears, foxes, and all other voracious
animals. In this way he got to be qulte
lion himself, and his opponents all shrank In
terror from his roar. But on one occasion
Young lawyer, new upon the floor, but who
knew the roaring Colonel of old, got up and
replied to him as follows:

menagerie of wild Beasts Though the gen.
tleman is so anxious to let us know that ne
was born, in the woods, can he assert that ne
was never scared by an owl ? The honorable
member may, possibly, recognise Renaissance
which may be related thus:
"a certain valiant gentlemen was once be-
nighted, even in his native woods, and calling
aloud for assistance from his dilemma, he heard
a sepulchral voice exclaim in answer, Hoo
hoo-hoo-hoO -,cho are your The gentle
man instantly replied at the top of voice, Il am
Colonel David Crockett, Julius Cesar, Alex
ander, Napoleon, Stentor, formerly of Nicho-
las county, Kentucky, now candidate to next
general Assembly at Missouri, and | am lost
Hoo-hOo-hoo-h oo-lrho are your again
demanded the mysterious voice. Il tell you,
shouted the Colonel, in still higher key, Il
am Colonel David Crockett, Julius Caesar, AL
exander, Napoleon, Stentor, formerly of Mich
olas county, Kentucky, now candidate to
represent Galloway county in the lower branch
of the next general Assembly of Missouri, and
am lost = 'Hoo-hoo-ho o-hoo-ha-ha-
ha-ha-hu-hahr returned the distant stran-
ger and, Mr.. Speaker, the valiant Colonel
was left by the owl to find his own way out
of the woods, which | presume he did, as he
sits among us at present"
The speech was interrupted throughout with
uproarous laughter, which echoed again and
again in violent gusts for some moments after
the Juvenile member sat down. At length to
the surprise of every body, Colonel Stentor
slowly arose with a witticism and replied.
"Mr. Speaker, the gentleman inquiries fit
is possible for me to be scared by an owl; /
confess Iam!''
