-A langhable incident oc-
CURED at the jackson, Tenn, depot
recently. The train from Mobile
brought up several barrels of oysters.
A number of country negroes stood
by, and never having seen oysters
before, wero somewhat astonished at
the appearance Of the bivalvcs.
"Whar he mouf :" exclaimed one
of the most inquisitive. "1tow um
eat, en-? Golly! I thinks um muffin
'cept a bone. Yah! yah y he con-
tinued, laughing at his own wit. 81
spec some white man tink nigga a
fool when he call dat ting ister."
just then he discovered an oper
oyster, and seizing it, eyed it closely.
Not satisfied with this examination,
he placed it to his nose, but no SOON
er was that organ inserted between
the shells than they closed niger
howled with pain, and called out:
"Pull um off! pull UNI off,.
But the more the oyster was pulled,
the more it would not let go: aud as
poor Cuffce danced and yelled, his
frantic efforts to rid himself Of his
uncomfortable nasal ornament were
both ludicrous and painful"
"Hit UNI wild stick" said bux-
om wench; and in moment the
oyster was knocked right and left
with a hearty will; but Cuffee's
head went with it.
"Pinch he TAIL" cried little mig,
"and he sure let go!"
But there was no tail to pinch, and
poor Cuffec seemed doomed to wear
the oyster forever. At that mo-
ment an "intelligent contraband"
whipped out knife, and it soon
severed the oyster. Cuffee looked
. t the shells with amazcment, and
finding the oyster toothless, threw it
away with the remark:
"Um got no teef, but gum it pow

HEAVY ON THE JoHNs.-Our Leg
isIative Solons appear to be particu.
lArly down on the Cinnamon. AT
least it would seem 80 from the fact
that they passed q law imposing an
annual capitation tax of $l6, to be
levied on each person, male and f.
male, of the Mongolian race. The
revenue derived from this source ia
to be paid into the school fund oi
the county in which collected.
" John" is evidently in bad odot
with the politicians. In this respect
he is less fortunate than his colored
brother, who appears to be tho stock.
in.traje ofmen ofthe Sumner stamp.
When the Massachusetts Senator
gets through with fighting the
wrongs Of tie colored race, it would
be we'll for him to inquire into the
condition Of the "Celestials.
Meantime the Law in question will
afford quite Q handsome revenue fo'
our public schools.-DsiI<s Asxa'
