gence that spacious hotel is be erected in New

humor. As none but colored people will be

ment, is TO be presumed that this regulation will
not prevent white abolitionists from occasionally
enjoying "the Injuries Of the season" with their
preferred negro associates. It may be that white
men will be found so debased as 10 wait on the

maids and doubtless tie blacks would prefer
this, as their "helps" would not dare 10 aspire TO
equality! To carry out all the arrangements of
fashonably conducted hotels, the "colored people"
must have their chops and other amusements,
and thus will be afforded an opportunity for pale
faced men to encircle the waist Of Miss Dinah in
