The Negroes in Africa.

: 4 The Negroes in Africa. ~; h. &
Weare permitted, says the Boston Post to make
the subjoined extract from . letter written ~ an
officer Of the o. S. Navy to friend in this City.
The writer is son of late distinguished Senator
from one of the New England States. The letter is
written on board the u S. ship St. Louis and dated
October Is, 1856, at Little Fish Bay, West Coast
of Africa: -:
** = s'There is very little variety upon
this coast 'Nggers!' slaves! niggersr is the cry.
This town is like most other places upon the coast,
made up of few people called white, and crowd,
Of miserable filthy, worthless, indoent (ng-
gers) natives II Charles Sumner, Jack Hale or any
other sensible man, who wishes or is willing to be
permanently cured of his mock philanthropy and
sckly sentimentality in regard to the universal ne
gro race, he has only to take six months cruise
upon the Coast of Africa. If that will not cure him,
and convince him that his sympathy for the three
and half millions of the happiest negroes upon the
face Of the earth is misplaced, then have only to
say, he is past hope and past cure.
LAS live, do not believe there is one negro in
one thousand upon the coast of Africa, who is as well
of, morally, physically, or socially, as the worst
abused slave in the United States. Slavery here
is slavery indeed, and of the most horrible kind.
Cruelty practiced here by black slave owners, is
heart-rendng to witness. Some chiefs (black) own
thousands-they sell, TORTURE or kill them, at pleas
ure. Ninety-nne of every hundred negroes, slaves
free, in towns, would gladly exchange their
condition with the meanest, most il-treated slave in
the Union. tits impossible 10 picture the miserable
condition Of the native African upon his own SOIL
Civilization, or even partial culture, with the mass
of natives, is an idea perfectly absurd, that it
does not admit of thought. With the combined
efforts of million competent honest, Industrious
persevering phanthropists; with millions of money
yearly expended to the best possible advantage for
million of years, would not develop one hundred
native Africans who would be of any account to the
world at large So much for 'niggcrs. Having
seen our negroes at home in southern states and
having them here, regard the institution Us
it exists there as benign, nay, heavenly insttu-
ticn, and southern brethren deserve the thanks
of the whole Christian world, for having ameorated,
in such striking contrast with their brethren here,
three and half millions of negroes. +
You may imagine that, although never democrat,
pray for the election of Mr. Buchanan, and mainly
because upon this negro question the democratic
party is right"

DIR. RoBAcK-Sir,-The last three bottles o
your Blood Purifier and the accompanying
Pills, nave relieved me of the last vestige of
my rheumatism. l consider the cure all but
miraculous. After having suffered the most
acute agony, almost without intermission, for
eight years, and being for three years a cripple,
1 can scarcely realize the fact that at this mo-
ment, after having used your Scandinavian
Remedies for only three months and a few days,
I am a hale, hearty man, capable of manual
labor, and entirely free from pain. When 1
first applied to you, by letter, for a supply of
your medicines, 1 was little better than o an
~natical skeleton. For more than two years l
had never enjoyed one hour of unbroken night
rest, and my mind sinking with my body, had
become greatly enfeebled, the very first bottle
of the Purifier wrought a surprising change for
the better in my system, and after taking that
wonderful restorative, together with the Blood
Pills, for one month, l felt that q complete re-
generation of every animal function was in
progress. 1 was not deceived. l am now, at
81 years CT age. as freefrom every symptom of
rheumatism as I was at 90. There can be no
doubt that this wonderful cure is due to your
remedies alone, and 1 am willing, if it will
serve you or induce others to seek relief from
the same source, that this letter should b. made
public.

FEEDING GALvEs.-A calf should ney-
er be changed suddenly from all milk
to all grass, But-it should be brought
about gradually; otherwise the growth
may be ipjurionsly affected. The which
they are fed has a poEerful influence on
the milking properties of all cows and
the mode in which they are reared has
considerable effect on their capacity to
give milk. II milk We have that is nee;

1t is a bad thing to feed calves on
skim-miik, as bot hthe butter and casien
have been removed IN the shape of cream.
Earl Spencer, of England, who vas very
successful in weaving his calves, fed
them first with new milk, and then with
skim-mak and meal-the latter supply
ing the necessary nitrogen and nitrogen
lied materials.
Exercise for a calf that is to be raised
is a necessity but for all fatting animals
the reverse. Care also should be taken
not to expose them to the cold, and par
ticularly to sudden changes. Much ex-
ersise of milk ows decreases the produo-
ton of butter. and increases The yield Of
