A CoNsIDERATG MAS-The last ioke at
the expense Of The French Society for
the Protection Of Animals is to the follow
log effect:
A countryman, armed with an inl.
mense club, presents himself before the
President Of the society and claims the
first prize. He is asked to describe the
act OF humanity on which be POUNDS his
claim.
(" 1 saved The lie of a wolf" reptile,
the couniymau. l might easily have
killed him with this bludgeon;" and he
swings his weapon 10 the air. to the 10
tense discomfort of the President.
But where was this wolf ?" inquiries
the latter. What had be done to you 80
He had just devoured my wife," is
the reply.
The President reflects an instant, and
then says: My friend, am of opin>
ion that you have been sufficiently re-
warded."

During dry spell, a very rsw back
woods man, just down from bis native
willis 10 see the city sights, was standing
on the corner, all agape, Just as a watering
machine broke loose and began to squirt
its fluid contents to aIIay the dust The
backwoodsman thought that the cask lad
sprung sudden and unprecedented
leak, without the knowledge and couni
vance Of the driver, who was riding
along and taking no notice of what the
water was doing behind his back, SO he
sung ou;: Say, stranger, your waters
all wasting out o. that bar'I." Stranger
took no notice Of his information, and the
machine kept on delivering, which
caused the rustic TO remark: That

Re-opcning the Slave Trade.

1t will be remembered that a short
time ago, we quoted from an Atlanta
paper, that many of the freed people,
especially young men, were being de-
coycd from that neighborhood, under
the promise of high wages and good
treatment. The Philadelphia Press
(Forney's paper) publishes the fol-
lowing despatch from Mobile, dated
18th inst:
CA sloop was overhaulcd in the
lower bay, early this morning, by a
United States cutter, having on board
$50 negroes, whom the parties were
about to carry to Cuba and sell into
slavery. They had been promised
$50 per month to work on planta-
ton, and otherwise deluded. The
captain and crew Of the sloop have
been heavily ironed and placed on
board the sloop-of-war Augustine for
safe-keeping, and will be forwarded
to Washington"
This appears confirmatory Of the
statements made at the time referred
to. illus it will be seen that those
protesting friends of the negro have
gone back to their old trade. It is
scarcely necessary to say that no ma
tive-born Southerner could be par
ticipant i'll this cruelty to the poor
freed people; and we repeat now
what we said then-that it was very
rarely that any Southcrn-b born man
ever engaged in the negro trade. We
will look forward with interest to the
Developments in this case; and we
venture to predict that the chief act
ors in this hopeful branch of traffic
will be found not to be Southerners-
that's, of Southern birth or education.

must our representatives in that body
be regarded rs inferior to the repre-
sentatives from any other State in the
Union; not one inch must be taken
from their political status, and while
they may not and will not arrogate
any dictation, they must be hailed as
brethren and co-workers in the same
good cause.
The people our Philadelphia dele
gates will represent are as ''loyal' (as
we understand that term) to the Go
vernment and the Constitution rs any
that will be found in that Convention,
and hence, any application of test
oatbs, or invidious distinctions on
account of past issues, must be ig-
nored in relation to our delegates,
and, indeed, as regards all the repre-
sentatives from the South, or they
cannot participate in its deliberations,
without dishonoring the people who
sent them there to speak and act for
them.
Aud, further, we should think that
it would not be amiss for the dele
gates to Philadelphia from the South
to ask from the Convention, in their
declaration Of principles, or 'plat-
form,' or whatever else they may
choose to call their manifesto, dis
tinct reputation of any degrading
marks or emblems of political infe-
riority. Such n declaration is due to
themselves, and to the people they
will represent.
With these remarks, we welcome
the delegates among us, and pray
that their deliberations may result in
measures conducive to the welfare of
the people and to the maintenance of
the honor of the State.
