Good-Aad PsJsctly bus.-The Rock Is
land 4rgus relates 3 good story Of a discus
sion between a Dsmoera and q Republican a
that place a few days ago. They contended
for the superiority of the white race over that
of the negro. The Republican claimed that
naturally, the negro race was fully equal to
the white race, anu cited as an instance the
great abilities aud talents Of Seipio Africanus.
The Democrat replied that scipiO Africsnus
was a Roman, and therefore could notbe used
to support his position. The Republican, as
he thought ~triumphantly declared thathe was
an African, for his name uoas Africanus This
was a eliReher, of course aud the Democrat
gracefully yielded but he had q sly twinkle
in his eye, which caused some Of the bys.and-
to hold their sides.

RATHER RIcH-A Legal Bonnet Emporium =
An amusing incident recently happened in this
city to talented young barrister, whose office is
situated near one of our millinery establishments.
lie was busily engaged in writing brief, where
III he was unfolding the mysteries which enveloped
'he egal points of an important case, when lady
d surpassing elegance and beauty stepped into
MS olice. Upon her appearance, his ideas scat
tered-we had almost said, like mist before the
Sun-as any young lawyers would have scattered
at so unusual aspectacle. He dropped his pen,
upset his ink, overturned his own chair, and
handed hertree others, with the request that she
should be seated. To this request she acceded,
out told him ut the same time very politely that
one chair was amply sufficient for her accommoda-
non, whereupon he grinned horribly, bowed,
seraped, and lettle two remaining chairs fall, by
way Of showing how highly he appreciated the
accuracy Of hOr discrimination. lie then dropped
into achair, gasped, turned red henpale-then
rea again, twirled his fingers with convulsive dill
eence and attempted to look as self-possessed as
she dit-schick he idsds3 do. Thinking she proba-
ply came for legal advice, he Showed the whites
SIhis eyes and began to look wise. The lady made
Aerself very easy and very much at home until she
aad warmed herself 10 her satisfaction by the fire.
