BELIoEnENT BLACK CvBANs.--New York,
July 3l.--A morning paper says: "Reliable
reports from Havana state that a negro riot
broke out there on the 22d instant in the local.
ity known as Los Sitios. The principal cause
of the dissatisfaction among the blacks seems
to have been their continuance in slavery, nfter
the liberation Of all those who lately surren-
dered at the collapse Of the rebellion. During
the disturbance, the police charged, sword in
hand, killing and wounding q great many per-
sons. The rioters then dispersed, and fed TO

arrests were made. All the ringleaders escaped" :"

II is needless to say that these resolutions
were adopted unanimously, amidst the widest
enthusiasm and uproarious applause, which was
heightened by the booming of cannon stationed

claimed the glad event to the outer world.

Of Col. j. A. Law, Major George l.. Buist and

The Ghost of the Office Bore.

The editors sanetum is up three flights,
Il pritbee. pace these stairs)
We shall baer strange things we shall see strange
sights;
table, three wooden chairs,
Exchanges. scissors and paste and pen,
mirror against the wall,
(The editor must be the vailest of men)
A wastebasket-that is all.
Three wooden chairs-the first for the chief,
And one for the sub, and one more
Reserved, 10 the best of my belief,
For the ghost of the Office Bore.
You see that dull, dark stain by the chair,
The editor calls it ink
But be never tells how the stain came there,
And never shall tell what think.
And if you should chance to lay your hand
On the arm of tn 1t wooden chair,
hand will stretch forth, and shape shall stand
With eyes at your eyes that stare;i
And ii you snail turn your look aside,
And gaze at the stain on the floor,
A CLASSY glance will downward glide
From the eyes of the ghost of the Bore.
Or If you shall dare to read an exchange,
As it lies near the haunted chair
Should you raise your eyes, for an nstant's range,
The ghost will be waiting there,
With spectral exchange 10 his fingers pressed;
And his face looks woebegone
AS the editor says to you: 81 request
You will let the exchanges alone.'
The paper will fall from your unnerved hand
And the ghost of the office Bore
Drops his; and you and the spectre will stand,
Face to face, as you stood before.
And /, the sub-editor, feel no fear?
You ask, and why don't resign?
The editct's chair, as said, is here,
And the next to his is mine;
The mirror hangs on the wall behind
The empty, haunted chair;
AS you stand by the chair you will surely find
Yourself reflected there;
You will stretch out your hand your face you will
find
thought you would guess 1t before,
But you are man OF limited mind
And you are the Office Bore!
