| NEGRO BANKING. Talking of Banks reminds mn
of the Negro Bank once heard of in Virginia Cato
Gan old negro who was noted for his cunninrA had
succeeded In making his fellow in the NEIGH
borhood believe that banking was a Uery proftabIe
business. So they concluded that they would throw
all their change together and start bank old Ca,o
taking care to have himself constituted the bank IN
whom all the sixpences of all the darkes in the
nelghborhood Were duly paid over. And now said
Cato, " whenebah nigar borrow sixpence out oh die
bank to buy bacca, he got to in free weeks and
pay in two sixPence. and in dis way you see eby sy
pence bring nudah sixpence, till after while ali desc
niggahs be as rich as old massa G-y." And upoU
this principle the bank went into operation old Cato
always taking that every darby should fork over
according to bank rules. But in the course of time
some Of the stockholders thought they smelt r,t
and called Cato to withdraw their capital from the
bank, when the following conversation took place be-
tween Cato and Jack:
Jack-Well, Cato, we want to draw our money
from the bank and quit dis bankin business.
i Cato-Did you heah de news!
Jack-No, what dat Cato!
I Cato-Why de bank broke last night

money always lost, and niggah bank no better dan
VIII lite folks.
