THE NEGRO.
BY MARK TWAIN, OF THE TRIBUNE.

James Parton, in 1.-THE Mean Yankees at Home, I"
has the following in the January number of the
atlantic Monthly.
Major De Forest, in one of his valuable and en-
tertaining articles on the 'Man and Brother, +"
has intimated an opinion that the black man will
never associate in this country on equal terms with
the white man. Never is long time, and we can
not even see into the next century but | should
say that the condition of the coored people in New
England supports the gallant majors conjecture
There are not more than twelve or fifteen thousand
negroes in Massachusetts; but they are SO .un-
equally distributed that you may occasionally find a
considerable number of them in one town. They
stand before the law equal to the white man their
children sit in the public schools side by side with
his; they are treated with consideration and res
pect they have the same opportunities to acquire
property as the white man; they go with him to
the ballot-box and vote on the same terms and
conditions their social position is
precisely the same in New England as it is in

merry throng of fancifu costumed jewellers entered
the dwelling, mysterious looking stranger, close
" masked, stepped inside the door and mingled
in the festivities Of the evening. He had ostens-
bly, assumed the part of negro, and so true was
he to nature, in mien, gesture and SMELL that grave
suspicious were soon aroused as to whether he was
not really an American citizen of African descent.

ger very determinedy refused to raise the piece Of
paste-board that concealed his visage from the
gaze of the crowd, whose curiosity had by this

features Of an 'unmistakable son of Ham were re-
Tealed. It is almost needless to say that ne was
at once seized simultaneously by the collar and

ipnorniniously thrust into the street. But even

ousiv thrust himself, were compelled TO admit that
