A "JIM Crow" CARBON a visit to Leices-
ter, noted for its card manufactures, William
Lloyd Garrison was presented, one day lats
week, with "Jim Crow card"-such as used
to be sent south in great quantities in the days
of slavery for the negroes TO comb out their
wool with. 1t resembles the old-fashioned hand
wool card, only smaller, (about four by three
inches,) and has a very fascinating picture of
Dinah Grow stamped upon the back. The gen
tleman presenting it said that he learned from
Mr. Edward Sargent, the manufacturer, that
since emancipation there had been little demand
for these cards, the Colored people being in a
free state of mind TO comb their own hair like
white folks This branch of card clothing bust
ness having gone up" in no small measure
through Mr.. Garrson's instrumentality, it
seemed proper that he should have one of these
"Jim Crow cards as a memento. Mr.. CARR
son, in reply, said he should treasure the card
as trophy and token of work accomplished in
the elevation of the negroes Gdzette.
