An Excellent hit at Northern Folly.
From the New York Spirit Of the Times we ex

From the New York Spirit Of the Times we ex-
tract the following:
Last Saturday evening" some quarter Of an hour
after I O'Clock, we entered of the Third
Avenue Railroad cars and after being seated, we
found on one side of us beautiful young girl, on
the other side gentleman with decidedly intel
lectual face, handsome full beard of the true
Venetian Tone, and an eye in fine frenzy rolling,
instigated both by poetry and a number OF !" nps.'
Opposite to our poetical friend SAT coiored
lady, rejoicing in some eighteen or forty summers,
(it is hard to tell darkey's age) and what ap-
peared to be a handsomely got up bundle of just
washed linen. After riding short distance, our
friend of the warm-tinted beard turned suddenly
round and asked if the were in the vicinity of
Thrtieth street. To which the young lady OF
somber hue replied, j" that we ,cds not.a Where
upon the iuterlocutor, with remarkably clear
voice and most perspicuous language, gesticuating
meanwhile with graceful vehemence, broke out as
follows q live in Thrtieth street; that is to say,
a place thus conventionaly named is my house,
my residence; but, ladies and gentlemen, my
mind is too much occupied by things of superior
Importance, to know where my house is l can
make a speech, and good speech, on Philosophy,
on Chemistry, on Mathematics, or any abstrnse
subject, and bring to bear world OF illustration,
innumerable facts and profound research, but
cannot charge my mind with thing so unimpor.
tant as where my house is situated therefore,
beg of you, do not let me pass Thirteth street.
% Abiding to speech making, could on the in
slant make speech on Ossowatome Brown, on
Ottowossome Brown, on Oregon Brown, on John
Brown, and Brown generally and specifically, and
my speech, when concluded, would be done up
Brown. am Brown man, believe that the col
ored population has inalienabe rights, have right
to ride in these Avenue cars, are endowed with
privileges and with an immortal SOUL and deserve
chance in the world, fair and equal chance"
[Great admiration was now expressed by the
darkey, and considerable interest by the re-
mainder Of the passengers Yes, fellow citizens,
these are my sentiments regarding the rights and
immunites Of the negro race and yet say, with
out fear of contradiction, and with unqualified as
sertion, that do not like to have the negro (rch
as he may be in endowments from his Greator)
1 come directly under my nose; the odor is often
sve.n tHere the ebony Venus colored and looked
darker, if possible, than every 81 say | do not
A like the odor; If am wrong, then it is to be
ascrbed to the innate and inherent qualities of the
4 white race TO the inharmonious clasfiing and de-
| rangement of the nostrils which make my general
i proposition beyond peradventure true, that the
4 negro should have his indivisible constitutional,
and natural rights, and nevertheless not come in
| contact with my nose.a
a Having got off the above our orator again re-
quested to be informed if he in the vicinity of
Thrtieth street, where was situated his house. but
nevertheless it was fact Of too little importance
4 for him to remember when his mind was more
| worthly and more practically occupied with the
i great and exciting questions of the day. AT this
moment the cars came to sudden stop, which
threw our eloquent friend into the arms of an ad.
i miring Teuton, then projected him on towards the
= young lady, finally to be brought up by the aid o.
an oyerhanging strap. The Conductor announced
that Thirtieth street was reached, and the gentle
man, with graceful bow, retired, filed with tht
important subjects of the day, but incapable, ae
cordng to his own representation, of attending tt
the details of ife even to the simple finding of his
+ own residence. Who the gentleman was we do no
know but this is certain, he either purposely OF
i accidentally presented sarcasm on much o.
Northern life that was rrepresslbly truthful ane
ridiculously amusing.
