5000. Notwithstanding some sort Of mild cor
reetiye, wished to know if they should take the
how back to the Recorder to be examined, or to
the City Jail to be logged. The old man seemed
to be shocked at the proposal.
"No. no, aop' he said; dat boy too smart
M do an NY biz! He just twenty year old dis
dav: went take noting for him! He do all my
Iii for eleven year, no take five tousand doll
for dat boy He too coed, too smart!n

such slave and such master may easily be
imagined. They left the darkey under the tender
nrofeeton of his fond old master, and hadn't a
word to say. We should like to know what they
cozad have said, under the circumstances.
