No BETTER THAN WHITE MEN-Jt seems
that negroes have very much the same super
stitions as white men. We are told that q
party of them are digging on the bank of
the river, just above Natchez, Mississippi
under the direction of an "old crone," for
Kidd's treasure. AT last accounts, it was
estimated that their work, counted by the
day, would amount to FIVE hundred dollars;
that they worked unremittingly during the
day and ate their food at early dawn aud af-
ter dark, and were confident of finding the
treasure. This is foolish-very foolish and
Just as lotsof white men have done before.
rhe Democratic journals are right in suppos-
ing it shows lack of Judgment. But it
settles one question to dead certainty.
1t demonstrates that the negro will work
hard and continuously under the hope Of fu
ture reward. Let those who have denied
that the negro can be induced to work
for pay, put these facts, given by the
Matches Democrat, in their pipes and smoke
them!

A dispatch from Constantinople states,
that the Turkish ultimatum has really been
rejected by Greece. 1t is even reported that
an engagement has already taken place be
tween the Greek steamer Erosis and Turk
ish cruiser, and that the Greek steamer had
taken refuge in the harbor Of Syra, where
she was blockaded by Hobart Pasha, the
Admiral of the Turkish cruiser, The Great
Powers will undoubtedly continue their ef-
forts to preserve peace but if they should
fail and the war between Turkey and Greece
go on, we shall soon hear of new outbreaks
in Crete, in Thessaly, and probably in other
Turkish provinces.

what other people may be-whether two,

stuffing ourselves with fiction. Let us re-
peat we are all two.f faced. None of us appear
