by citizen or tourist, Is the aboye.named instltu-

Of the results of reconstruction, as they
aneot innrm and crippled negroes, are to be seen
than elsewhere in the State. The buildings are
humble, the accommodations are scant, and the
place IL tnronged With class whose condi-

1t isUtdenstoevery observer that more should
be dome for these unfottunateslshs Is now al.
lowed to bs done under the limited appropriation
for the purpose. True, the inmates Of the Home,
aged and comparatively helpless as they are,
have under cultivation i've or six acres Of vegeta.
bles, whsrewith body and soul are kept together
but they need some OF the comforts, as well as
the necessaries, OF lie. Bed; and personal cloth
ing would be acceptable, and more sleeping room
is desirable. In fact, an additional building
snould be moved or erected there to the end that
health and cleanliness may be secured.
The scene observable at the Home is q sad one.
These old negroes are the relics Of former panta-
ton Hie-the old s'unoles" and "auntlesa who
were protected In their disability by their 70 rmer
owners until poverty prevented them from 50
doing any longer, and the war left the unfor tu-
mates adrift and dependent on the world. Some
OF them are fourscore years and ten tn age; sev.
eral are. blind; number are crazy or idiotic;
while others are bent deformed and useless spect-
mems of. humanity, who from tnelt birth have
been little more than the pets OF plantation llfe
TO those who visit the place. therefore, We say
take something with you for distribution. Give
q bandana here, a hat there, an old Dress hand
ful or plug OF tobacco, cast.oH boots and Shoes
In short, almost anything that can contribute to
the comfort or happiness OF these people, will be
welcomed by them, and the giver will enjoy real
pleasure in receiving the hearty 'Tank you,
