Il begin to understand your language
BETTER" said my French friend, Mr.
Arcourt, to me; ''but your verbs trouble
me sill, you mix them up SO with your
propositions.
Il am sorry you find them SO trouble
some" was all l could say.
81 saw our friend, Mrs. james, just
now," he continued. ''She says that
she intends to break down housekeeping.
Am 1 right there?"
Break up bookkeeping, she must
have said"
"Oh, yes; [ remember. Break up
housekeeping.
"Why does she do that?" l asked.
Because her health is so broken
into"
Broken down, you should say
Broken down-phl yes. And, in
deed, since the smallpox has broken up
in our city"
Broken out"
''She thinks she will leave it for few
weeks"
"Will she leave her house alone,"
ono. She is afraid it will be broken

"Broken into"
Certainly; that is what | meant to

"Ah, had not heard that"

"He merely broke the news. No pre-

Civil Rights.

From the Toledo Commercial.
"Kurridge dis way twenty-five cents
to any part oh de city.
This was the theme of a sable hack
man at a recent public gathering.
"Only twenty-five cents to any part
OBJ de city Hab kurridge, sah?'' and
thus he aceosted every passing gentle
man.
Presently welI-dressed, gentlemanly
appearing colored man came up, when
all of sudden the hackman ceased to call
out the Quarters, and turned so as not
to look the gentleman in the face.
81 would like carriage" said the
gentleman.
No response.
Il would like to ride to the Boody
House" stepping nearer and speaking
louder.
"Sah ?"
SIS this a hack?"
''No sab it's private kurridge."
Don't you carry passengers"
Sometimes / does sab, and some
times don't sah,' turning away again.

Three dollars, sab"
But the gentleman got in, and seemed
to display his face at the window is much
as possible as they drove along the street.
But imagine the drivers Disguised look
when the gentleman helped himself out
and handed quarter for his fare, and,
with smile, passed into the hotel.
He was no other than Prof. Larcome
of Washington, whose life has been
spent in teaching and in efforts to ele,
vate his race.

q Good Report Of G!Ic 9. bOI Ira 1h -
Southern State.

From the y. O. Republican.
Messrs: Harrison Watts, chairman;
j. V. Kressner, w. G. Simmons, Jr.,
II. NJ. Payne, j. 5. PrcStidge and G.
II. Won Schwartz constitute "a committee
of the Cotton Exchange of New Orleans.
. They reported to the president and
board of directors on the first Of July
information in regard to the growing
crop Of cotton, condensed from letters
received from the cotton States in re-
gard to the crop prospects Of the season.
From their report we submit the follow
ing extracts:
Mississippi-Labor satisfactory in mum
bers and efficiency.
Louisiana-No complaint Of labror
Texas-Labor sufficient and good
Arkansas-Labor is ample and suffi-
cient.
Tennessee-Labor about the same.
Alabama-The labor is ali that can be
desired.
North Carolna-The labor is said to
be about the same as last year, both in
numbers and efficiency.
South CarOlina-LabOr sufficient
Georgia-Labor very generally re-
ported as sufficient and good.
Florida-No complaint Of the labor.
We request the reader TO reflect on
these extracts. They are reported on
the authority of men whose business and
whose character are deeply involved IL
an impartial statement Of a fact affecting
. the price Of cotton Ii these men should
report the labor irregular, or deficient,
( 1t would affect the price of cotton, be
cause no authentic result could be predi-
Gated on such premises If this labor
was irregular or deficient. the suppress
sion of this fact would produce false
! impression of the crop prospects, and
would mislead dealers and consumers.
Such an exposure as must follow any
such improper expression or suppression
of facts would destroy the character of
our Cotton Exchange, now standing high
for its integrity and intelligence ~ the
confidence of the commercial world.
Hence the appointments Of this committee.
Is there any imputation against the char
acter of one of these gentlemen? Ac-
quainted with them all personally or by
reputation, we may say they are above
reproach. Now what do they say:
That upon an extended correspondence
| throughout nine principal cotton States
the labor employed in the culture of that
staple is satisfactory in number and eff
cheney. The mass of labor in these States
is colored.
What must we infer from this report,
made on honor and on interest? Th1i
the colored people throughout these cot
ton States are peaceful, orderly and i'm
dustrious; that the dealers and consumers
of the world may rest assured that the
cotton crop may be safely intrusted to
these people to cultivate and to har-
| vest.
