A SISTERS APPEAL.

Written by Dexter Smith, Jr., and sum-
at temperance meeting with unbounded en-
thusiasm.
Air:-JuSt. before the battle, Mother.
Don't go near the bar-room, brother,
Listen to sisters prayer,
Do not yield to its temptation,
Sin and death are lurking there.
Oh! do not heed the gilded palace,
IT'S mask the tenpter wears,
And beneath it frown destruction,-
1t will meet you unawares.
CHORUS Don't 60 near the bar-room, &c
Don't go near the bar-room, brother,
Shun it as an evil place,
1t will bring you desola tion,-
Cover you with deep disgrace.
Oh! friends and kindred all around you,
Counsel you to pass it by,
And the pleadings Of "a sister,
Strengthen you once more to try.
Don't 60 near the bar-room, brother,
Touch not, taste not of the wine,
There is poison in its contact,
Do not worship at its shrine.
Yes, join the grand tee-total army"
Shun the ballroom and the cup,
Then we'll work and work together,-
Till the monster shall give up.

Two Spanish officers recently met to
fight duel outside the gates of Bilboa,
after the seconds had failed to reconcile
the belligerents. At this moment poor
fellow approached the seconds, and, in a
lamentable voice, said i:
Gentlemen, am poor artizan with
large family, and if you would"
Ny good man, don't trouble us now,
cried one of the officers. Don't you see
my friends are going to fight? Wear
not in charitable humor."

each other, and walked away.

FLORIDA FREEDMEN. Florida
Courier, referring to Gen. Howard's
report respecting the freedmen of
that State, and the conduct of their
employers, says:
"There has been no cruelty, no
severity, on the part of the employer.
II there is misery, calamity, or dis
tress-and we believe it does exist to
some extent-it is solely to be attri-
buted to their idleness, want of thrift,
and indifference to their own welfare.
With few exceptions, they have not
, been industrious, nor have they made
efforts to please their employers. On
the contrary, they have neglected
their work whenever it suited their
pleasure, without regard to the con-
dition of the crop or the urgent ne
cessity of their labor. Thousands of
pounds of cotton are now lying in
the fields, because these oppressed
laborers will not pick it. There is
not farmer in the country that can
say his crop was as well cultivated as
it might have been with the force he
has employed.

The War Department have just
received report from General Sheri-
dan, who. was sent to investigate the
charges of inhumanity said to be
practiced against the prisoners at the
Dry Tortugas. He states that the
conduct of the officers in charge
has been grossly and maliciously
misrepresented. The charges ema-
mated from Colonel Greenfell, oae of
the prisoners, for selfish purposes,
and to secure his release. General
Sheridan visited the cells, and all the
p9isoners were found to be clean and
orderly, showing that care and vigi-
lance was exercised by the command
ing officer for their comfort and we'll
being. The prisoners receive the
same rations as enlisted men. They
are neatly and comfortably clothed,
and have but light work to perform.

The END NOT YET.-The Richmond
Times says:
No plan, scheme or suggestion for
reconstruction" which will restore
the Southern States to their rights,
which has emanated from the radical
party, is sincere. They are all false
and hypocritical. Their ingenuity
hes been taxed to the utmost to in
vent plans which they knew we
would reject, in order that the odium
OF the rejection should be cast upon
us.
But, if we were to adopt the
amendment tomorrow, they would
reject it, and if we were to offer
negro suffrage as the price of our
re-admission, they would reject it.
That such is the case, there are
ample proofs. Many of their lead
ers, during the last month, have be-
come possessed Of the idea that there
is some probability of our acceding
to the terms which have been pro-
posed.
These men now insist that the
Southern States shall not be restored
to their rights until the negro has
been thoroughly educated and made
to understand the value of the right
of suffrage.
Without this, they declare that the
right of suffrage is worthless. BY
New England school-masters, preach
ers, lecturers and newspapers, the
negro must be taught that his inte-
rests are antagonistic to those of his
late master, before Congress should
release its hold upon us.
