THEIR PLACES OF AB DE,-Business called
US from home, through the District, several
days this week. We were struck with the
number of neat, new cabins, that are being
put up all over the country. 1n:several cases,
we noticed evidences Of neatness and economy
in the arrangement of the outdoor matters
These little cabins are the abodes Of the
freedI. a, who, not satisfied tr remain in the
yards of their employers, have pitched
their tents" for freedom in the forrest. It
was a subject Of r>mark to see the ebony faces
of ''mamma" aid the little ones greeting, pass
ers-by. =,
Now, that they are thus settled, we trust
that. they properly appreciate HoHE-that
they will be honest, frugal; and industrious.
Such course will bind to them, by "hooks
of Steel" friends Of both races-those who,
can serve and protect them in the hour of
trial and danger. Look well to this -

THE CooL1E TRApE.-The London and China
Telegraph Of the 4th ult. says:
Of the thirty ships now lying at anchor in the
harbor Of Macao, sixteen are chartered for Ha-
vana with slaves All these vessels will, as is
the custom, ship certain number of Coolies in
excess of their contract, in order to have the
means Of supplying The places of those who may
die on the voyage 1t is curious that no one
has, as yet, found out why so many of the Cool
les lose their sight on the voyage. Out of a car
90 of five hundred, forty viii be completely blind
before they arrive at their destination; and as,
according to the term of their charter party, the
barracoon owner will only pay for and receive
those that arrive in possession Of their eyesght,
the unfortunate blind are probably cast into the
sea or landed upon some desert island, for the
Government will not permit any Chnamen to
live in Havana unless he belongs to a master.

ANEcDoTE OF SIDNEY JonNsToN.-''A. II. NJ"
says an exchange, sends US the following
apecdote Of the late Gen. Sidney Johnston:
"While Sidney Johnston reSids d on Oyster
creek, in Texas, he kept a tame Mexican lion,
of which he was very fond, and which f'lIow-
ed him everywhere like dog Que day
while at dinner with General Lamar and Rev.
Mr.. Fontaiae, he was fecufHg-h him with pieces
Of meat, and happening to give him a rare
slice, with blood dropping from it, the lion
seized the hand that held it, crushing it and
growing Fl, rcely, with angry eyes fixed: on
his master Gen. Johnston, without a cry OF
pain or single movement, looked steadily at
him and said, quietly, several tin.es, let go
Dam But the animal only growled and lashed
his tail, when, turning to u servant, the Gen
eral told him to hand his pistol, which the
frightened negro did, and General Johnston
taking it in his hand, blew out the lions
brains; but his hand was hopelessly manned" /"

There were tW

There were two negro exhibitions Monday
night, both largely attended by enthusiastic au-
diences of white trash. Fred Douglass enlight-
ened the inferior white race with his views upon
the political crisis and that ebony, operate mete-
or, the "B!ack Swan" made her first re-appear-
ance in New York for several years. The "swan"

hundred and fifty pounds weight. Fancy this
heavy colored person indulging in the vocal vari.
atoms TO Donnizetti's 80 Mic Fernando" and a
cavatina from Verdi's "Attila." The effect must
have been sublime, and so thought an applaud
ing audience, with the exception of one person,
a drunken Fenian, who declared with all the
strength of his lungs that he could ''sing better
than that-nager anyhow. 1t is needless to
say he was hustled o"t without ceremony.

a New WASHINGTON STYLE. In describing
reception at the White House, tho Star
says: "a peculiar style of wearing the hair,
last evening, among the ladies, was subject
of much comment, and thcremarks were, for
the most part, altogether in its favor, as a be-
coming substitute for the waterfall. The hair
was allowed to fall its fill length, without fet-
ter or bond of any description and was
thought by many to be the most graceful style
the ever-changing empress fashion has yet
