Coon TALKrRs, As writer In

Great takers are abundant, ,--common
as lying among lawyers, perjury among
smugglers. or extortion among cabmcn.
But good talkcr ia different thing.
In the first place his grammcr must be

IS Of phrase is worse ihnn occasional
cnrelessness. Secondly, he talks on
proper subjects at suitable times md
places. Thirdly, he talks in n low tone,
and only raises his voice with the spirit
Of his topic. Wit is not important TO a
good ialker, though aspcies Of humor is,
and good sense is Indispensable. Adap.
talion 10 persons and occasions is great
point, and the want Of il a glnring de-
feet in many otherwise good takers
They discourse very eloquently of books
TO icnoramnses, Of balls to dcvoiecs, of
philosophy TO women, and Of science 10

NEWSPAPER READERS. - IT subscri-

TO produce an editorial certificate before
they could subscribe for another, there
would be some curious dcyclopemcnts
--as. for example -
"We certify that A. b. stopped his
paper because the editor refused to al
low him six columns for personal vim
dicaiion which concerned nobody but
himself. We certify that G. ID refuses
the paper because the editor did not
publish the obituary notice Of relative

he ought to have detected in some of
the exchange papers. We certify that
+. F. wishes TO transfer his patronage
10 another paper, because, having Ia

These are some Of the laws aud Gus
tom which greatly modify the practical
character Of slavery in Cuba. They
tend to curiail the power of the masters
and TO facilitate emancipation. Aud MS
Cuba, if annexed, would nnquestionably
retain the right of local legislation, these
laws would remain substantially unchan-
ed. 1t is quite natural, therefore, that
those at the South, whose views OF ma
iional policy are governed entirely by
its bearings upon slavery, should be un-
willing TO have state added TO the Un-
ion in which slavery exists in so mod-
fed form; while the opponents of sla-
may very well favor its accession on
account Of the influence it would be
likely TO exert upon the condition of the
slaves in other Southern States. 1t Is
known, also, that many Of the infuen-
iial planters Of Cuba are in favor of grad
ual emancipation. Freedom to every
child born Of slave parents after given
date, and total emancipation to all who
survive twenty five years was the spir-
it of toast given year or two since at
4 dinner of wealthy planters in Havana;
and such is believed. by many who are
well-informcd,the view ofa large portion
Of those Cubans in whose hands nj some
day will rest the destiny of slavery in
their native isle. In these facts and
opinions may be found a rational explain
alton of the change Of position in regard

the past year, between the North and
