GRAHAM's MAGAZINE FOR FEBRUARY.
Our readers will be surprised to learn that
we have received the February number Of
this splendid magazine. Why does Graham
issue this number early? We will tell
you, good reader, in his own language
to US:
First. To atone for the fault of the French Art
ist. who was to have sent our Flower Piece in time
for the January number; and thereby carry out
our original design of giving it to our Lady readers
as A HOLIDAY PRESENT.
Second. Because we have in press, and will
want all the time between this and February 1st
to finish our March number-the most rare and
superb specimen of a real American Magazine,
that has ever been issued from the press of the
country
Third. To tell the real secret-as in the post
script of love letter-we are proud OF the num-
Der and like a young lady with a new bonnet and
CAV trappings we take the first fine day for pro-
menade.
Besides. We want a subscriber added to our
list, by every lady who loves us properly, who has
friend able to appreciate ''Graham'' and the
January and Mi, number, will do it.

BETTER THAN HEARING JENNY LIND
A correspondent of the Richmond Wing
relates the following incident:
A gentleman we'll known in Richmond
lef, home on Friday evening, on his wav TO
the Concert. with ten dollars in his pocket;
before reaching the Theatre, he met poor
fellow from The country, in great distress.
1t seems the poor fellows cart had been
broken down; it was getting laie, he was
many miles from home, and had no means
Of paying for the repairs. The gentleman
seeing the mans distress, asked what the
repairs would cost-he was told about ten
dollars. The ten dollars intended for the
Concert were Immediately given for This
purpose, and he returned home without
hearing far-famed Miss Jenny. Here, true
sympathy and benevoence gained the vic
tory over selfiudulgence. Aud who doubts
that this gentleman felt a calmer and purer
Joy than any of the hundreds who thronged
the Theatre on Friday night?
The answer spr"gs from every heart -
No one doubts it, for as Shakespeare has
written it, that such acts carry double
| blessng-s't blesseth him that gives and
him that takes.'

FREE NEGROES IN SOUTH CAROLINA
A Committee Of the Legislature Of South
Carolina repor, adversely to the removal Of
the free negroes of the State. They admit
that it is unfortunate TO have an intermedi-
ale class between masters and slaves, as il
presents a constant discomfort 10 those who
are lower down in the scale; the slaves see
ing the privileges and mmunities enjoyed
by the free negroes, long to be elevated to
their condition, and discomfort and dlssatls-
faction ensue in regard TO their more servile
condition. The summary dismissal of the
free negroes, they say, also would operate
with great hardship upon some Of them,
who are the owners of land and slaves; il
would seem IN nst, moreover, 10 contisca'e
their property 10 pay the expense Of their
removal, while the people would hardly be
willing to be taxed to meet it. The Com
mit,ee close by expressing the hope that all
The legal protection which their conduct will
admit of, be extended 10 the free negroes.
and that census of them will be taken in
accordance with the Governors recommen-
da alton.
The Charleston Mercury thinks no dam
ger to the State is to be apprehended from
The free negroes. and gives the following
statement TO sustain the opinion:
"As long as our laws placed no restric-
ton on emancipation, the free colored p"pu-
lation was rapidly increasing one, and be-
ing constantly recruited from the slaves,
was thus in near relationship to them, and
in measure confused with them in feeling
wilhou, being suhiec. to the same whole
some restraints. But since the change in
our laws, the two classes have became more
and more distinct They have now no
common ground. The immediate links are
removed. The free colnred population is
kept up only from within itself. And un-
der this restriction it will be found that it Is
undergoing a stead process Of extinction.
The Charleston census shows a decrease
from 2. l07 in 1880, to 1892 in ISIS
Partly this decrease, which we-helicve t"
be in different degrees general throughout
The State, comes from their voluntary emil
grafton 10 the North. If they leave the
State they cannot return"

JENNY LIND AND THE SWEDISH SCHOOLS.
The Lorgnette, in recent number, in allud-
ing to the generosity Of The Nightingale,
says:-"Think Of it for a moment, Fritz,
that your ticket and your seat is to give a
desk 10 some poor Swedish scholar and
that the echoes Of the Nightingale are to
re-echo through their whole lifetime in the
hearts and voices often thousand blue ey ed

GREAT Snow STORM IN MAINE.-We
learn from the Portland (Me.) papers, that
the snow from the late storm is pIled up
into immense heaps, in Portland and V'cini-
". In some places the drifts and accumu-
lations thrown from the sidewalks would
measure from 6 TO 8 feet in height. Many
of the fences and small out buildings IN the
open country are completely buried up !;
and the roads are almost impossible. There
has not been such fall of snow in Maine
for years.

A SLAVE CAsE.-The Cecil Wing says !:
The case Of Adam Gibson, negro arrested
in Philadelphia under the Fugitive Slave
Law. as the slave Of Mr.. William Knight Of
this county, has caused some excitement in
that city. He was brought here, after hav-
ing been determined by Mr.. Commissioner
Ingraham to be Mr.. Knights property, and
Mr.. Knight was sent for, who, Immediately
upon seeing the man, said he knew him,
but did not own him and had no claim on
him, whereupon Adam was taken back 10
Philadelphia. Some Of the Phladelphians
affec, to be surprised that he was allowed
to 90 back, ath ough he was not Mr.. K Knights
slave Certainly those who think SO are
very ignorant of the kind Of people who
live in Cecil county-they may steal negroes,
but that is not likely TO be done here-uo
man here who has lost slave. wishes to
rob another negro Of his freedom to make
up the loss, and any negro brought here
by an error as Adam Gibson was, would
as surely be sent back. Adam had been
the slave, as we understand, Of Doct Davis
of this county, by " hose will he had been
set free.
The following proceedings have since
taken place in this case:
Con Tuesday afternoon Lieut. Ellis az
rested Geo. F. Albert upon the oath OF
Adam Gibson, charging him, in company
with others, with conspiring together, com
hitting an ASSAULT and battery on his person,
and falsely imprisoning him. He was taken
before Alderman While, and held to bail in
S 500 for further hearing on Friday next.
Soon after James Price was arrested at his
residence in Vernon street, who is also i'm
pica,ed with Albert, in The false impTison-
ment Of Gibson. He was committed in de-
fault Of BALL"
