FARMING ON SHARES.
An Old Negro Relates His Experience.

An old negro thus relates his expert
ence in farming on the shares, which
does not seem to have been altogether
successful: '.You see. old master, Use

and neber comes home till plum night;
den Mary, my wife. she work all de day
and night and most keep de children,

Of money; put UNI by in de old woman's
stocking and hid em in de logs. Ole
master he keep ding dongin at me to
come up and farm TO- him; an de old
oman, when master speak oh de chill
dren an old missus, bust out a cryin
and say she was agoin any how. So I
specs I'd better go too; an ole master

made contract an read him all ober,
an he sound all right, an put my sign
on him. Next day / move up and gin
work. I hire ell de hans and massa

times the hans be sick; but it go-on all
right until de money come ont oh de

Bread Cast on the Waters.

A young man, living in New York at
the time of the discovery of gold in Cal
fornia, was led by the prevailing excite
M nt to sell all he had here and travel
to that land of promise. He arrived
safely, made his way to the mountains,
and worked hard for months, but with
little success. Soon his money was
gone, his clothes nearly worn out, and he
must either starve, or find his way back
to San Francisco and get employment
there. He started on foot, and slowly
made his journey. One afternoon he
came to the bank Of a stream which must
be crossed A ferryman was ready with
a row boat ..What is your charge 2"

slump in-I'm not the man to send
fellow adrift;" and with few vigorous
strokes they were soon in the middle of
the stream. Here the boatman stopped
rowing and looking in his face asked,
rs your name Jones2' ..Yes," replied
the other with start at finding himself
recognized. .sDidn't your father belong
to the Church in-street?' Yes

from his pocket a bag and commenced
counting out gold pieces. II have made
five hundred dollars by ferrying passen-
gers; here are three hundred of them
for you. You caa pay me when you are
flush; or if that don't happen, then all
right. You think I'm crazy. perhaps"
continued he, observing the astonished
looks of the traveller, "but was never
in better senses in my life. When was
little boy and nay mother was q poor
widow, many time has your father
visited our home, and when he had gone,
somewhere about the room we would

gratefully accepted. BY its aid the tray
eler was able to reach San Francisco,
earn enough to repay his benefactor,
and return safely to his home This
story, with the exception of the name,
is a true one; related by the traveller
himself, illustrating the precept, Cast

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-11-25
r. RTVEs POLLARD.

This great champion Of Southern rights
secession, slavery, chivalry, "the white
mans government" and author of the
"Lost Cause" has been dispatched to bis
final account in the manner which, we
should Judge, was most congenial to bis
feelings. He died by the hand of the as
sassin. The notorious character of the
man precludes the supposition that he
could have been satisfied with less dra.
matte death.
Mr.. Pollard belonged to that class o
agitators who have no friends. While pro.
fessedly a rebel of the most venomous
stripe, he was so ultra that he deemed even
the South itself failure, because it was so
far from the equator. There was in all the
land but one orthodox politician, who
knew what the South demanded, and that
was II. Rives Pollard. He was thorn
in JEFF. Davis's side all through the
war, but failed to command the res
pect or confidence of single Union
man. His sentimental, mawkish, pulling
"Lost Cause was an insult to most OF the
sincere rebel leaders and the laughing
stock of sensible men. 1t must have cost
Carleton, the New York job printer, a
handsome sum and all his patience to get
Pollard back to Richmond with his literary
failure.
For some months previous to Pollard's
death the New Orleans Times was in the
habit of reading him out of the Southern
party. But this never disturbed the equa-
nimity of the deceased. He in turn con-
tended that the Times was not true to the
South. And so they were even, for both
were right for once. E
Mr.. Pollard's irritable temper and over
bearing manner frequently brought him
into personal difficulties, from which he
has retofore been fortunate enough to
escape with a whole skin. We know
nothing of the cause OF the difficulty be-
tween him and his assassin, Grant. It is
safe to say, however, that no provocation
would justify a private citizen in shooting
a man on the street, without giving him a
chance to defend himself.
Mr.. Pollard was man Of genius, energy,
strong attachments, and of personal integ-
rity. May he rest in peace.

EPPEoTs OF Observation-Disclosures.

The Crescent, still discoursing on its fa.
vorite theme, "carpet-baggery," virtually
admits that it is the getting and holding Of
office which constitutes their objectionable
sin, aggravated by the method of accom-
plishing that object, viz: DISTINGUISHING
white people and enfranchising negroes. 50
Truly, this is ascribing great power to so
limited class. Was it "carpet-baggers'
who DISTINGUISHED such citizens of the
United States as after having taken an oath
to support its Constitution and govern
ment, deliberately violated that oath and
melted and participated in rebellion against
that government Did not such persons, in
fact, difranehise themselves? and is It not
owing to the magnanimity of their loyal
fellow-eitizens that so many of them have
been restored to the position which they
had voluntarily and scornfully abdicated
Was 1t "carpet-baggers" who invested with
the right Of suffrage the Southern negro,
or was it an overwhelming majority of the
citizens of the United States, impelled
thereto by motives of justice, gratitude
and expediency! 1t is simply absurd to
attribute the limited disfranchise-
meat which exists in the ex-rebel
States to the few individuals who, having
come South since the war, availed them
selves of the peculiar state Of affairs
to do just what their accusers would have
done in their places, namely, get office.
Still more absurd Is it to continue the
causeless whine about wrongs and dis
reimbursement" The wrongs when traced
home turn out to be nothing but mortified
pride in seeing negroes treated like white
men; and asfor the Wholesale disiranchise-
meut" we need only look at the number
to see what that amounts to. Ia 1860 thl
