ances of the genuine colored gentry.
The carte for this entertainment was
burlesque auction sale. One OF the
darkey men, selected for his tonguey
qualities, announced to large as
semblage OF idle negro laborers, that
he was now about to offer them, for
cash, "to de highest bidder in dis

Doctor, He has Done it.

A physician tells the following sto-
ry, not without some regret on his
part for the advice given: "A hard
working woman had drunken hus-
band, who, when partly sober, would
get the blues and endeavor to destroy
himself by taking laudanum, Twice
did the doctor restore him. Upon the
second restoration the doctor ad
dressed him az follows: "You good
for nothing scoundrel, you don't want
to kill yourself, you merely want to
annoy your wife and me. lfyou want
to kill youself, why don'tyou cut your
throat and put an end to the matter!''
Well, away went the doctor and
thought no more Of his patient until,
some two weeks after, he was awak-
ened from a sound nap by the tinkling
of his night bell. He put his head
out of the window and inquired
What's the matter?' Doctor, he has
done it, was the reply. Done what?
John has taken your advice What
adviceY why, you told him to cut
his throat, and he has done it, and he
is uncommon dead this time" I'm,

since ceased giving such cutting ad'
