In spite of ourselves, we can not
but sympathise with our friend and
well-wisher CDRev. Jno. Jasper in his
desperate effort to get up sensation

Brother John will find that either
the stopping of the STAR or the NOV

WIT Of the AFRICANS.
SARAH.
BY J. G.. Fl.

missionary in West Africa saw an unciv-
lized native african having bottle of whiskey
in one hand and glass in the other, who was
about to take drink. The missionary sa d
to me, " Interpreter, tell that man not to drink
that stuff, it is a very bad thing" The man
stared at the missionary and sail in his Ian
guage, " If it was bad thing why did you
bring it to my country?. We never made it
here; your brother brought it to us.o The
missionary replied, g My brother never
brought it.'' well said the native African.
" If your brother did not bring it, your coun.
try men brought it., for all white men are
brothers." furthermore said this son of AT
RIGA (though uncivilized) through the inter-
peter. n" Tell the missionanary that he, the
whiskey, and the Bible came i'm the same
ship, his country men sent US the whiskey to
drink, and sent him to tell us not to drink it !;
who are we to believe? 60 back to your couu-
try, said the native African, and tell your
country people that when they want to send
us good things, send them in good ships; and
when they want to send us bad things, send
them in bad ships so that we may know the
bad from the good things (this was logic.)
On the Western Coast of Africa, foreign
vessels cannot do well without a set of people
called KrOcmen who are living between Mon
rovia and Cape Palmus. These Kroomen
as they are called, are employed on board
these foreign vessels as Stevedores. sailors,
interpreters, and pilots, and when employed
on board these vessels, they never give their
right names to the Captains. Some will
name themselves Jack Never Fear, others
Frying Pan, others Peasoup, Others Rope
Yarn, &c. An American vessel once arrived
on that coast and employed these Kroomen
on board. the yankee captain wanted TO show
his wittism, said to one of these Kroemen
$ Have you plenty of monkeys in your coun-
try?" " Yes," he replied, " Monkeys are
plenfifuiiu our coilntry.v ''How came so
many nonkeys in. your country" asked the
yankee captain. - Look here captain, let me
tell you bow they came here" replied this
ready witted son Of Africa. g. Many many
years ago an American vessel came to our
country, the captain, mates, sailors, cook and
stewards, were very lazy, they would not
work, ,sthey ran the vessel on the beach, the
captain, mates, sailors, cook and steward
ventin the wood and became monkeys,
hence so many monkeys in our country.''
The yankee captain found that he was out
witted by the unciyilized African (who
only could speak the English language brok-
enly). The caDrain scratched his head, walk
ed away TO his cabin, there to grieve over
how he had been outwitted by an unciVi Iized
and uneducated African. while the African
went on to his work whistling and singing.

THE HAMPTON INsTITuTE

The following extracts are taken
from a letter. of Rev. III. M. Turner

to produce it intact, but it's length for

are just about the same as those of DR..

To the Editors of the star.

To the Editors of the Star
HAMPTON, VA. May 4. 1878.
Notwithstanding the beautiful rays of sun.
light thrown around the Normal School by the
Monitor and others, it has taken another in.
tentional leas into the dark. The latest proof
of this. which disglsted every pupil present,
took place in its walls and in the absence OF
the Principal. on the End ult., consequent on
the arrival there of strange colored man.
When he entered the buiIding-so great is the
hatred to Negroes-he was not asked to take
a seat or told how and what places to visit.
Standing awhile and no one asking him to sit
except aupupil who. winked At him he adj
vanced and tooka seat near the Blackboard,
The teacher who was evidently displeased at
this, and in passing TO and performing her op-
erations on the blackboard, did not ask him to
move but worked over his he ad throwing bits
Of chalk all over him. This being too much
for the stranger, he went out and meeting
with one OF the girls got her to take him ID
the engine room where he received the same
savage treatment at the hands of the engineer
Goff. Seeing tina. he was an unwelcome vis-
itor, paying for plotting him around and then
telling who be was, he left. The girl having
been asked, what niger was that?' told
them that it was the Editor of the Christian
Recorder, and had come to ascertain the fall
sity of the letters appearing In the VIRGINIA
STAR cOncering the school; that he said he
was convinced that they were true and that
the half bad not been told. "Another DR..
Green" was the reponse from all the teachers
Thisoceurrence has killed The pride and manly
ambition Of every pupil in school, Messrs.,
Snowden and Hamilton not excepted; and
the only thing they can say to buoy up their
spirits is, that if the General had been here
this thing could not have happened" Be it
here remembered, that any white men, let
their character or condition be what it may,
when they go to the school, are taken around
in buggies and carriages wherever they want
to go and the pupils made to sing for them
their g Old Plantation Songs.''
