A CovFIpENTIAL NEGGO.-A negro boy
lust about grown, came TO the FIRST Dis
trict Police Office day before yesterday
and stated that he had run away from
his master living ON Grcatman street,
Third District, and that he had given IL
man five hundred and thirty dollars to
take him to Cincinnati, but the man had
taken the money and fooled him.
The boy was arraigncd before Rccor-
der Summers, who, hearing that he be
longcd to a wealthy gentleman down
town, told an officer to take charge OF
him, and take him down and see what
his master wished done with him. Ac-
cordingIy officer Clark took him down,
but on the way the boy told the officer
he thought he might find the man, whom
he designated as "Mr. john if search
was instituted. The officer, thinking
probably that the negro might be telling
the truth, went Out of the way consider
ably at the solicitation of the negro, but
no .'Mr. john" was visible. Upon ar
irving at the house of his master, the
bow told him that when he went To de-
posit eighteen hundred dollars III the
bank, he met mfr. john" who made him
give him $3.50 of it, promising to take
him to- land of liberty. The old French,
man looked at the boy amoueAt and
then said to the officer, in reply T. 9
louestion whether he did not wish hin
whipped at the Parish Prison, "0h
Monsieur Clark, Eat is one very fine boy
he more smart dan white man-hc keel
INV book, he collect my money, he make
all my business"
"You see Eat boy, to-day twenty ycal
old, and | no take five thousand doliaI
for dat boy"
But Eat man Monsieur john sacr'
Monsieur Clark, Eat is ze man wants
Two years pass, Eat boy &c give Mon
sicur John sixteen hundred dollar, an'

ire John Brown jc pcnsc.'
And thus the old gentleman, blind t
the faults of his confidential negro, VIII
is robbing him daily perhaps, above
him to again take charge of all his bl
sincss, and will not have him touchc
for the world. He verify believes IN tn
existence of a Monsieur John" wh'

A FTER long practical experience, and after
IN fully testing large variety Of sewing ma
chimes now before the public, my convictions have
forced me to adopt the WHEELER WILSON
Machine as the best for Family, Plantation, and
general use, ever invented. Among the advantages
It possesses over every other Machine, are
LIST. Elegance and simplicity of construction,
and consequent freedom from arrangement and
need Of repairs.
I'd. Durability, ease, rapidity Of operation, and
noiseless movement.
Sd. Beauty of stitch, frmness of seam, and econ
omy of thread.
lth. Applicability to a variety of purposes and
materials.
5th. The "Hemmer," an attachment which no
other Machine has.
9Th. It win sew from one thousand to fifteen hun
bred stitches in minute, and is equal, in dispatch
Of work to at least
Twelve Seamstresses.
The machines, in variety of pattern and style
Of finish, from the plainest to the finest parlor
meiodeon attachment, may be seen at my Office
Igive every purchaser full acknowledgements
the machine, and keep 1t in order for one year,
free of charge, except in case Of unfair usage.
The public are respectfully invited to call and
see for themselves.
