A few days since Mr. Elijah Pierce an old
and well known citizen of Campbell county,
Ohio, hired German in Cincinnati, who did
not understand English very well, to work on
his farm, few miles back of that city. The
sturdy Teuton arrived at the place in due time,
and among the first questions put to him was,
Can you curry horses?' ooh, yes me
curries horses goot, replied the German. He
was then told to go to the stable and curry
some six or seven horses which he would find
there. At the expiration OF about an hour,
Mr.. Pierce went to the stable to see how his
new workman was getting along, when, to his
utter establishment, he found that Hans had
shaved the tails and names of the animals as
close as he could with the shears he used.
Among the horses thus scurried,'' was fine
one belonging to gentleman of Cincinnati.

TIM TypfAx.-There.is something touching
in the position Of the survivors OF people
which, so short time ago, ruled this continent
from ocean to ocean 4 few weeks since Col
Maynadier invited some of the Sioux Chiefs to
conference at Fort Laramie, in order to az
range terms Of peace with the Government
They accordingly attended, and after having
pledged themselves to bury the Ratchet, ana
having smoked The pipe of peace, several Of
Them made little speeches. They we're not
such speeches rs the white chiefs would have
delivered. The dusky orators made no illusions
to the virtues or intelligence of themselves or
their people, o. to the size OF their country, nor
did thew profess their devotion to any tag, or
their LOYALTY to any imag inary Constltunon.-
They simply stated their grievances. and IN
concise and plain language, Spotted Iail SAID,
mournflily, ':We have been deceived, and
have been led into the war and have had much
trouble for many months, but all Of the little
things that have occurred in that time must be
forgotten. | EN- very poor ard cannot pay tor
anything that ny people may have taken ttom

troubles and sufferings. He said: "My Great

white man is angry if only an animal passes
through his farm. l. nave inc same lceliHSS.
T would Ike to have my land fenced too, but
an, TOO poor to do it; and so many men and
wagons pass through my country; that all the
buffalo ana game are scared away. The Great

Dlc; they do us much harm and cause much
wrong to be committed By OR young men. Ii
tbess soldiers were taken away we would be
mucf, better, and our hearts would be very glad.

WASHINGTON a. GEoRGEToWN RAILROAD.
From the report Of the Directors of the
Washington and Georgetown Railroad for the
year 1866, made through the President of the
Company, Mr.. George S. Gideon, esq, we
take the following particulars. The report
says:
1.-The Board of Directors regret their ina
bility to lay before the stockholders more
encouraging statement a fact due to the great
reduction Of the population of the District since
the close Of the war, whereby the receipts OF
the Company have been materially affected
The recei pts for the six months ending Decen-
Der 81, 1865, were Thirty per cent, less than
during the corresponding period in 1864
While the receipts fell off thus suddenl " and
largely, there was no corresponding fall in the
price of articles used in the operations Of the
road and with the large amount OF material
and equipment on hand necessary to MAINTAIN
the road at the highest poiot Of its business,
it was folnd impossible to reduce the expenses
in the same proportion with the rapid decI'he
Of the receipts.
''Thus the profits are not what could be de-
sired and now that the business has become
so much reduced it is matter OF considerable
doubt whether the road can maintain lis pres
ent efficiency, and give to the public the requl-
site accommodation, if the tree-transFer system
is retained.

"The Equal Rights Associations which has
its headquarters at Augusta, Georgia, has call
ed the Council of the Association together to
confer on business of great Importance. What
that business is, the Loyal Georgian, the organ
Of the association: explains by stating thatthere
are half million of negroes in the State who
have a right to the elective franchise, and;
whilst it is proposed to contend for this right
by organizing subordinate associations through
out the State, it is also the purpose Of the as
ISOLATION at Augusta to send delegate to rep
resent the Georgia negroes at Washington, as
soon as the money can be raised. Similar or
CARNATIONS are said to exist in Louisiana, and
Arkansas and North Carolina.
