There was dog and there was a cat and

Then the cat said to the OK, too: "No,
indeed, and you can't bio it up like a
bloom wen YOU git mad"
Then the lamb sed: "You ain'tab for
to twinkle it, either, wen you think oil
something funny"
The OK he thot awhile, and bime by he
spoke up and sed his ownself: al plade

wonderful TO behold. Every place was
crowded to It's fullest capacity, and there
was barely room TO stow away the women

Saratogas and lunch baskets, and made
the night musical with variations from rn-
known operas. The men slept In the yard,
where they could get place, and he who
could get a patch Of green grass was ia.

the smaller country towns, and here the
effect Of the sudden addition TO the popu.
lation was even more remarkable than
the watering places. The women and
children were lodged in the manner prev.
iously mentioned, and the condition Of the
men was even more pitiable. Thirteen
weary male refugees slept on the flat shed
roof Of stable, and number OF others on
the rafters In the tavern attic. The

The NEGRO refugee. In Kansas.

AT meeting held by the influential
Friends in Philadelphia this week to con.
slider the condition Of the negro refugees
in Kansas, some new facts were brought
to light. Our Quaker friends are shrewd
as well as generous, and may be trusted to
get at the bottom facts in every matter
which makes demands upon their pockets.
1t appears from the statements made to
them that the negroes are not all so needy
as is supposed; some Of them have money
to buy land, and have bought it. The
Freedmen's Relief Association has bought
5000 acres at s. IS per acre, has made the
first payment, and put some of the refu-
gees to work on it. The second payment
is not due for four years, and before that
time they hope the blacks will have got
Northern legs under them, so to speak,
enough to be able to pay it themselves
Many Of the older men and women, how
ever, are not self-supporting, and never
will be; they went to Kansas with the
blind faith OF the Jews to Canaan, beIiev-
ing that it was land flowing with milk
and honey, for which no greenbacks need
be paid. The facts stated oftheir immedi-
ate need were so well authenticated, and
the methods suggested for their help SO
practicable, that the Friends have taken
up tho matter in earnest. Whatever is
done by them, we have no doubt, will be
judiciously and wisely done.-NeNC York
