EQUAL TO Ten CLERKs.-The Pitts
burg Mdn says: Yesterday afternoon, we
had the pleasure to witness the triul of n
new machine for facilitating business in
large post offices. It is the combined
ingenuity OF Messrs. Cunningham and
Geyser, of this city. The old system of
cance!lng postage stamps by hand is su-
perseded by this new Invention. In
addition to canceling the stamp, it prints
the name of the post Office, the time it
leaves the office, and then automatically
counts each letter as it passes through
the machine. It will do the work of
about ten clerks. without complaining of
fatigue. 1t will cancel. stamp and
count 10. 600 letters per hour.

The Word NEGRO. Richm ond
Dispatch thus discourseth:
Let us look into the origin of the
word. It comes to us directly from the
Spaniards. They were the first to in .
troduce African slavery upon this cont.
nent and the adjacent islands. The
word hombre negro in Spanish means a
black man. and 'n.jer negro q black NO.
man. Los negroes Is the masculine plu-
raj, and means "the blacks" including
the entire race-the same as Los Blanc os
means "the whites," and includes the
whole white race. SO negro is O black
man in the pnrest Castillian, and Blanco
is white man. Now, we have no OBJ.
lection to being called Blancos or whites.
and why should you think it degrading
to be called Negros or blacks? In the
South refined white society euphemisti-
oally toned down the roughneas OF the
Spanish negro, and also repudiated the
insulting Yankee slang of 'nigger" and
"darkey," and whenever the black peo.
pie were alluded to or spoken to, they
were invariably addressed as "our peo-
pie." or ''the colored people," or ssco.
lored folks" Is the Troy colored gen
tleman satisfied with our explanation?
BY the way. the Spaniards got their
negro from the Latins, who had it niger,
and not from the river Niger, where the
black men are found.

The Evergreen (Alabama) Observer
says: "While Messrs. Choot and Robin
son, citizens of this County, were out
COW hunting, near Garland. one day last
week, their attention was attracted by
the curious capers of squirrel, which
acted as If confused or bewidered. One
OF the gentlemen proposed to catch it,
and they dismounted for that purpose.
In their pursuit of the squirrel they
came across large rattle snake, which
they killed, and just as they did so, the
squirrel, which had gone up tree near
Dy. fell dead close to them. There vore
no wounds or bruises of any description
found ON its body, and the strange part
OF the affair is, what killed the squirrel?
Some have theory that When 9 snake
charms bird or animal, if the snake is
killed while it is under the charm, the
OBJECT charmed will die also. Who can
explain it? The gentlemen who Wit
messed the occurrence are men of un-
doubted truth and veracity."

Here is new idea for fair. Some
ladies of Boston racked their fancy to
devise something new, by which they
could get money out of the pockets Of
the gentlemen attending certain fair,
and settled on the following plan: They
had an apron table and neck.tie table.
The neck-ties were made Of the same ma
terials, and matched the aprons. The
ladies bought the aprons, or the gentle.
men bought them for them, and every
gentleman was informed he must pur-
chase neck-tie. The neck-tie secured.
he was expected to take the lady who
wore the apron to match it, to the ice
cream table, and order ice cream for her
and himself. By this sharp practice the
aprons were sold, the neck-ties were sold
and the ice cream also disposed of, and
1t was all for the benefit of the church.
