The johnson Administration have re-

A few years ago slavery was tolerated
in Massachusetts, and the newspapers
were filed with disgusting advertise
ments relating to negro. The following
specimens, gathered from old Massachu
setts papers, are futnished by Mr.. Moore,
Librarian of the New York Historical
Society, and recently published BY him.
One Of them offos snr sale:

Another trader offers
LIKELY NEGRO men and women,

Another has:
NEGRO MEN, new, aud negro boys,
who have been in the country for some
time; also, just arrived choice parcel of
negro boys and girls.
Another:
A LIKELY NEGRO man bred in
the country, and bred iarmer-ft fol-
any service.
Another
A LIKELY NEGRO woman, about
10 years old, and a child six months Of
age, to be sold together or apart.
More marvellous is another Of the fol.
lowing tenor
A NEGRO CHILD, soon expected, Of
good breed, may be owned by any
person inclined to take it.

pie more, to complete the assortment:

warranted to be strong, healthy and good
pstured /: has no notion offre'dom; has
always been used to farmers kitchen
and dairy, e6d is not known to have any
failing but being with child, which is the
only cause Of her being sold.
The New Haven Register says: at
seems that in those very pious days Of
Massachusetts,, it was cheaper to buy ne.
groes there, ready grown, than to pay for
feeding and clothing their infants while
too young to work. Their good men
were too stingy to pay for taking care Of
helpless children, and so sold the mothers
into slavery to get rid Of them. They
were not then up to modern Massachu-
sets way Of getting rid of children, by
which, as their statistics show, the pres.
emf native population though four times
as large as the foreign residents of that
state have, annually, less number Of
children bora aliye, than have the small
foreign population.

A New York correspondent Of the Pc.

count of the dress Of the "ladies" in the
celebrated play of the Black Crook,
which has had such a famous run in New
York. He says:
HThe ballet troupe consists of better
looking young ladies than the ordinary run
of such troupes, and it is astonishing to
see to what degree Of perfection they
have reduced the practice Of economy in
dress. If Mrs. Eve should find herself
in Niblo's, I think that she would feel
perfectly at home, and Mr.. Adam would
not think OF blushing at all on account Of
his scantily supplied wardrobe. l don't

Being under the necessity of going out

preparation did not exceed 5000. Here
then, at an expense not exceeding $50 a

equivalent to the services of one man,
and an additional benefit, more than double
this saving. Think also of the saving
made in the dropping of the animals, one
half of which would be lost by their roam.

dropped in and foated away with the

known farmers who have boasted of their
own convcniences for watering their cat.
