''The preacher" says Il letter, ''took for his
text Health" and his hits at fashionable
fripperies were pointed and practical, and
some of them created loud laughter. He
objected to SO much minerology, physiolo-

young girls education, and considered that
for purposes of useful life, little mend

be far more desirable"

Afriend tells the following good story, which
merits being put on record. A gentleman
of this city, owning 9 large plantation on
Santee, gave good house, formerly the
overseer's, to a trusty negro, one of the su-
perintendents of the estate. A white fami-
~ of squatters, however, held possession OF
the house, and the freedman was debarred
from entering on his rights. He went back
to the planter, his late master, and COM
planned, when the following dialogue en-
sued
Planter-" But, Pompey, the house is
yours,-you are the lawful owner; and no
one has any right to occupy it without your
consent"
Pompey.- Yes, massa, done tole'm
so. But he say he won't CO."
Planter. Well, Pompey, suppose you
go to the Freedmen's Bureau, state your
grievance, and apply for assistance to have
this man elected"

New SYSTEM OF CoINAGE.-The Phila-
delphia Telegraph says: A new system of
small coinage is now under consideration
by the government, and will in all proba-
bility be adopted. The proposed new cent
is to be made of nickel, the same as at
present, but the centre of the coin has a
raised star, the nucleus of which is repre-
sented by hole through the coin. The
two-cent pieces have two perforated stars,
and the three-cent coins three. Thus, by
holding either denomination to the light,
or by simply touching them SO as to feel
the holes, the value of piece of money is
Enthusiastically known. The half-dimes and
dimes are larger coin of better meta, but
are to be distinguished,by one and two per-
fcrated stars.

Boris MAKES ANOTHER SPEECH.
Minor Bolts addressed a Radical meeting
at Patterson, New Jersey, on Wednesday
night. 1t was, in point of snorting. below
ing, egotism and slang, regular old Afri-
can Church effort. He, spoke for three
hours, abusing the late Confederate Gov
eminent, praising himself and his peculiar
loyalty, telling how he used to rejoice at
every Union success, and shed bitter tears
over every Confederate victory, attacking
the President and favoring his impeach-
ment, and advocating the constitutional
amendment. He thought the negroes were
not prepared for suffrage, and if it were
given them that they would vote for Bob
Lee for President in preference to either
Grant or Johnson. He gave it as his de-
liberate opinion that Seward had lost his
mind, and that old Greel y was in the habit
of ''going off half cooked"
The enthusiasm of the multitude IS de-
scribed as having been remarkably limited.
Bolts evidently had spoken in Patterson
once too often.-Richnaond Wig.

had dispute concerning some repairs

plank. Finally, the aggrieved party went
to a neighboring lawyer, and placing ten
dollars in his hand, said:

Borrowed Plumage.

The following is an extract of letter
from New York, published In the Baltimore
Episcopal Methodist, Of the 18th instant.
We do not know how much truth there is
IN this incident, but facts within the knOwl-
edge of many persons, at least make the
statement possible If not plausible, We
have heard even pianos, as well as jewel
ry, which found their way north during
the war, and under circumstances which
we think will warrant AN effort at restitu-
ton:
A Southern lady, on visit to this city,
went to worship in one of the up town
churches. Soon after, an elegantly attircd
New York lady of high social standing,
entered the same pew and remained during
thesservice; after which the Southern lady
called her aside into the vestry room, and
in the presence of the rector with whom
she was well acquainted, thus addressed
her: madam, | do not wish to offend you,
but that shawl you are wearing belongs to
me-" (The shawl was n superb one.) The
New Yorker protested and declared that
tnere must uv some mistake. IT, says the
Southern lady, You will examine certain
corner, you will see my initials worked in
IT, and the rector knows my name very
WELL The corner WAS found as well as the
initials. The Southern lady then remarked
"Ihat ring you have on your finger Is also
mine, and II you will take the trouble 10
examine the interior yoH will see the same
initials engraved in the ring" Similar
movements as above discrebed took place,
and with similar results.
Turning to her again, the Southern lady
said: MADAM, that bracelet you have on
is mine also, aud by pressing a spring on
the inside 1t will unclasp and show YOU nv
portrait" The New York lady did AS re-
quested, and there was the lndy's portrait.
She promptly returned the ring and the
bracelet rs she was convinced beyond the
power to controvert it that they were the
property Of this Southern lady, and re-
marked as she did, ''Ihey are yours. and
You are welcome to them, but as wore the
shawl to church, must beg the privilege
Of wearing IL home again"
The Southern lady acceded, of course,
and they exchanged cards. The shawl
came back in due time, but the New York
lady had probably obtained the articles in
such manner as to render it too llnpleas-
ant 10 divulge. No more was said about il.
Moral: If Southern ladies want TO know
where their articles of missing jewelry and
wardrobe furniture are, let them attend
some fashionable ''up town" New York
church, and If the men want 10 know what
has become of all their fine horses, shipped
North by army officers and "bummers,"let
them spend an evening in Central Park.
