THE WoEs OF BLACK MAJoR-On
Tuesday afternoon, Capt. Willard A. Hussey
formerly an officer Of the Thirteenth Massa-
chusetts Volunteers, but more recently from
South Carolina, accompanied by Major Sam
uel Dickerson, of the South Carolina militia,
entered the bar-room of the Astor House.
Major Dickersons is black man. The cap
tain called for some old rye whiskcy, and,
turning to his colorcd friend, said, "Major,
what will you drink"
The Maj called for rum and molasses,
but was indignantly rcpelled by the barkccp-
or, who remarked in an insolent manner,
eve don't sell rum to uiggcrs here"
This remark naturally incensed the major.
Taking off his cap and military cloak, he
said:
"Gentlemen, the Democratic party Of the
North is different from the Democratic party
of the South. When l was slave, | was
often asked by white gentlemen to take a
drink, and I never was refused. 1 am now
a citizen. I have been locked up in the
Tombs all night, and that ought to entitle me
to vote in New York, and certainly a good
voter ought to be allowed to drink at this
bar, no matter whether he is white or black.
I havn't got as many friends here as l thought
would find in New York. tried three
times to see Horace Greeley. He finally
sent Inc word that he had no confidence in
the Republican party Of South Carolina.
He said he thought they were thieves. Cen
tlemen, I'm from Charleston, and [ tell
you-'
Here the bar-keepcr interrupted the major,
and said that if somebody didn't get out,
somebody else would call the police, where
upon Major Dickcrson picked up his hat
and cloak, and, accompanied by Captain
Hussy, LETT the Astor House.
The next seen Of these gentlemen was at
the Home Made Hotel, Greenwich street,
where Capt Hussey makes his headquarters.
They entered together, and were going up
stairs when seen by the proprietor.
"IIil!oa, there" he cried out, "this is no
col r2d boarding house. We don't permit
anything of that sort here"
but this is my FRIEND" answered Capt.
Husscy, "and he is going to my room with
me, sir"
"This is my house, sir" said the proprie-
tor, "and it is against my rule to allow any
negroes up stairs. You must either abide
by my rules or leave the house, sir"
Down came the major and his friend the
captain. Not a wcrd was spoken until they
reached the sidewalk, then the major, boiling
over with rage and modification, gave vent
to his feelings in curses both loud and deep.
"Didn't l tell you that the Democrats Of
the North were better friends to you than
the Republicans are?" modestly asked the
captain.
I'm done; sir, I'm DONE" replied the ma
jor. "Ill go back to Charleston and tell
those folks down there something they don't
know, sir. I've got to let out all I know
when I get back to Charleston, and III scare
some of those fellows. Good bye, captain;
lllsce you to-morrow;" and the excited black
politician started for his colored boarding
house in Broome strect-Nco York Sun.

DIVINE WIsDoM.-Is there in all nature
two more wonderful evidences of Divine wis

that it is impossible to disconnect it from

DRUNKENNEss.-Itis is useless to attempt tt
cipher up the results of drunkenness; one
might as we'll to try to get at census Of the
bottomless pit. Indeed, the most ap-
palling statements frighten nobody. IF the
facts that every drunkard knows do not
frighten him, all that he can imagine qby
help of figures, will not. The truth is, that
behind drunkenness there lies moral insen-
sibility and'a feeble will, partly the cause and
partly tho effect Of the fatal indulgence.
Can anything be done to save our country
from drunkenness? It's all very we'll to
talk about the rights of men to get drunk,
but when the man can only enjoy the right
by inaicting serious damage upon others, and
exposing them to alarming risks, then we
have no hesitation in saying we would restrict
his right if we could. But the plan is
impracticable, and We are sorry for it.
There has lately sprung up plan for help
ing the better class of drunkards; that is,
the class who are not otherwise bad, and
who really want to reform. Institutions
have been established in several States for
the reception of these inebriates. The plan
is not to give them medicine, nor to put
them under restraint, but afford place of
quiet, kindly, comfortable retreat, where, a.
way from evil association and the temptation
of opportunity, they may gradually recover
tone of mind and body. The plan is work
ing extraordinarily we'll Thousands of
inebriates have been saved by these homes,
and we hope that they may soon become a
stated provision in every State.

They are not alconJiIc al any sense or the

juice or vital principle of roots. This Is not Il

are compounded are prepared by one of the

hold with so much force against preparations Of
