We heard. a few days ago, very laugh,
able idea. of one of the lately liberated
blacks. concerning the object of the bu>
reau. An old lady of color came into one
of the Offices, in a city not far from tins,
and inquired if that was the place the
freedmen's bureau was kept? On the
clerk replying in the affirmative, she
placed herself akimbo, an said she had
come for her bureau, and she didn't want
any little wash stand put off on her. She
wanted big bureau with big glass on
