BB- We are informed, by the proprietors of
the Lewiston House that. our cor espondent
was altogether in error, so far as that Hotel is
concerned in his statement that . black man
was refused entertainment here. The facts are
that ablaDk man applied for room and board
and was told the ternsIon which he could be
entertained, and agreed thersto. He went out
and came in late to dinner, and at once entered
the dining hall and sat down near a man from
the South, who at once informed the black man
that he could not sit near him at the table The
coloreds man went to the office and informed
the clerk who at once showed him a seatat the
table, and he ate his dinner with the rest. The
Southerner on finishing his dinner was remon-
strased with by the landlords for his conduct
and informed that If he did not like to cat with
the guests they chose to receive; he might
leave. The colored man after eating his dinner,
paid his bill and left also.-v[ Lewiston journal.

the Argus is no concernof ours. But we think
it hardly fair for the editor to be so general as
toexcite olr envy by saying the Portland Id

paper IN the State when he has shared so lib
orally at our gay and festive entertainments
producing. such delightful" frame of mind
as to free it from lsthe world and its cares -
But we really, hope his Indifference" to the
devil and his demands for COPY" will not
long continue, lest his readers become ,indiffer-
