that The leaders of "negroism" got afraid of

How 70 Obtain SubscrpDers.

In the year '36 we published a semi weekly
paper in the city of Detroit, and at commence
ment oil our career, we employed local trav
cling agent--one j. D, fellow of almost
infinite tact in his business, and ordinarily one
of the merrlest, best natured bipeds we evet
met with. John had way of obtaining sub
scribers, however peculiarly his own; and his
success was proverbial. IF he undertook to get
a mans name and subscription money, he got it
there was no dodging the issue when he had
resolved upon the thing.
John was large, powerful man, standing six
feet three in his socks, and he feared nothing in
the performance of his duty; at times when re-
sort to "tricks OF trade" was necessary, he was
ever "at home" and his mimery, ry,smling counte-
nance, and capital address, made him scores OF
friends almost at first sight. But John occa-
sionally came across tough customer.
Yon call that paper? exclaimed one rough
big-fsted fellow, derisively, one morning, in a
coffee house where John was canvassing.

sneeringly, it's a humbug.

He always stood straight up for the paper
That kind o. talk amt just the thing, my
friend, continued John, for there were several
persons present.
! say it's a hum--persisted the fellow; and
you're another.
AS the stranger got off his last remarks, he
approached the cansasser instantly, and offered
some unmstakable demonstrations ofa belEger-
ent character.
John measured his customer as he advanced
and drawing back, he very coolly knocked the
insolent fellow down. Then grasping the row.

and then again and again, until the bully began
to believe he had commenced operations on the
