A Sensible Darkey.

The Atlanta Herald recently sent a reporter
to interview Jack Heard, negro shoemaker
of Greensburg, Ga, who is a noted charac-
ter, and leader among his race. Jack tells
what he knows of civil rights as follows:
CHOW, when we go down here to the train
and pay our four dollars and a quarter for
ticket to Atlanta. we're put into a car to our
selves. That'sall right. We don't want to go
into the white folks car with the white ladies'
But we think they ought to keep white folks
outen our specially them what's not be-
havin' themselves. The conductors makes
everybody behave themselve in the
white folks car, but they lows
them what wants to be devilish
to come into the car with us cOlored folks an
lows them to cuss, an swar, an smoke, an
drink liquor an talk dirty talk, an take on right
aforeour wives and daughters; an tell you We
don't like it. The conductors ought to make
EN- stay outen our car, or if they do come in
make 'em behave themselves jes as they do in
their own car 'mong the white ladies. That's
the sort O civil rights we wants. We don't
want no social equality. We couldn't
get it if we wanted it. No sort O. law could
give it to us. You can't make it. Some of
us has got good decent wives an nice good
daughters-least we think So Some Of our
wives an daughters behave themselves jes' as
good as any white ladies, and We think they
ought to be protected from bad manners jes'
the same as white ladies"

he changed his name, and took an humble
situation in wholesale store.
He was required to perform very unpleasant
and even servile duty; but he never refused,
and in turn he rose, from one step to another,
to the rank OF merchant. Had he not in this
manner sunk his family and their connections,
they would have sunk him. There can be no
greater burden on young man than to be ex-
pected to "keep up the family" Poor as he
may be, he is not to condescend to do the

poor, and suffered many privations, and was
also in great deal of service which was not
respectable" Had it been laid upon him, in
addition to poverty, to keep up family dig

gle, which, in this city, is essential to success.
During his business career he has seen hun

Speed o. Railroads.

The present slow rate of speed on the rail
roads of this country, is a matter of frequent
complaint and annoyance. To the business
community it is often source OF pecCnlary
loss; and to every person the cost OF travelling
by rail increases with its duration. What
ever conduces to the greater speed and safety
of transportation is, therefore, advantageous
to the public
During the past decade astonishing progress
has been made. The dangerous straprail and
the loose fastenings have in turn been sup
planted by the tish-bar plate, which fur
Rishes the long desired continuous rail. The
disastrous results of broken iron rails have
demonstrated the absolute economy OF steel,
and it was the purpose of the Chicago roads,
in all track renewals, to replace iron with
st eel, and thus, as they were able. furnish the
most approved facilities. For, without these,
fast time cannot be safely made.
The occasional "bursts of speed" show
what the railways are capable of doing. Why
they are not made so common as to cease to
be remarkable, the managers are in position
to state. Two years ago they had the dispo-
sition, and were fast acquiring the ability.
Now they have neither.
1t is much cheaper to run slow trains; and
the popular demand is for cheap transporta-
ton. If the residents of thin'y-s ,ttled States
are resolved to pay only three cents mile,
they must expect three cent ride. They
should hardly ask to be carried in irst-class
style regardless of cost
In the railway profession it is well known
that expenses increased as the square Of the
velocity The ratio is even higher; that is to
say, if the speed is doubled, the wear and tear
is quadrupled. In England where this ques-
ton has been most thoroughly discussed, the
companies are not required to run the trains
on which passengers are carried at Id per
mile, faster than twelve miles an hoar where
as the express trains. on which the charges
are not limited and where thew are higher than
in this country, attain speed of fifty or sixty
miles an hour, including stops Moreover,
the earnings derived from cheap passenger
traffic are by act of Parliament, exempt from
taxatiOn

Shine on TOast-s'Sixty Cents"

A sojourner in large city, who is at the
mercy of restaurants where you are treated
with n big bill of fare, and very little food on
your plate, thus hits it off:
Snipe on toast would be almost too hearty
food to feed people on who had been floating
on raft three weeks, feeding On old boot-legs.
Says l to the waiter "Give me snipe on
toast"
By-and-bye he came in and put down some
toast, and l kept on reading about what a
donkey Grant was, and what ridiculous set
every one is who is running for office and l
sat there for an hour. Then I rang the gong.
The waiter entered, and says l: "Where in
thunder is my meat?'
Says he: "They've been on the table more
than an hour"
Says :: =" I didn't order plain toast !; I want
a snipe on it.
Says he, "There is snipe on it.
Then | drew close up to the table, and |
saw little black speck on the toast.
Says 1, "Youll swear that's snipe?"
Says he eyes"
Said l, "You'd make a good linen buyer,
you would"
Says he, "It's snipe on toast. anyhow"
Says l, How did it get on?''
Says he, "That snipe is all right. It's a
tull-sized one, too"
Says l, Il am glad of it. / am glad you
told me that's full-sized snipe; for, do you
know, young man, when sat out there read
ing saw black speck on that toast, but 1
took it for fly, and I'm glad to be informed
it's snipe-a full sized snipe. Now you can
take that snipe away and bring me turkey
on toast. l want full-sized turkey, too"
l hain't hankering after snipe since that
episode. l could have blown that snipe
through putty-blower without hurting the
snipe or the putty-blower either Snipe on
toast may be game, but it's mean game
