said: "The Western railroads are behind il
all. They want cheap labor TO build some
OF them and 10 settle their lands donated to
them by the government. They will sell the
negroes land on long time, but they will not
allow them to eventually own it. The i'm
proyements will be made, and then, some
year, high price will be demanded which
the settler cannot pay. The railroad efforts
constitute the prime cause of the exodus.
Beyond them are the short crops and. per-
haps, the sensational clamor about the fence
law. These two latter facts prepared the ne
gro to listen to the lies and Elusive promises
OF the railroad man. The roads bought up
the negro preachers, the Joshuas OF their
race, and thus effected their purpose. The
Georgia Pacific will ge; most of the laborers,
but many of them will 90 10 Kansas or Ar

negroes could be dispersed throughout the

The Iitmau Pig.

AZ the .Jauuary term of the Court of Appeals,
In New York, the four regular judges and three
of the Supreme Court Justices opened the term
AT the appointed time, and proceeded TO bust
ness the Justice for the - district not having
arrived. A case was called, and the counsel for
the appellant commenced opening IT, The gen
tleuian is well known in the State, and at for
Iner election received the vote Of of the great
political parties for q judgeship in the Court oil
Appeals. He is n good lawyer, with dry,
sound mind, and considerable humor. While
he was in the midst of his case the absent judge
of the Supreme Court rushed into the room,
somewhat excited by rapid walk up State
Street, the hill being much higher and sleeper
than he was accustomed to climb at home.
He hastily took the vacant seat on one end OF
the bench, seized the papers, and commenced
passing them before his face, within a short dis
tauce of his nose. The lawyer who was opening
the case, had never seen this judge, and did not
know his peculiarities. Presently the justice
had run through the case, and got to a point
considerably in advance of the lawyers nara
tive of facts. During the whole course of read
ing the case, this judge had kept up fire of
questions as to facts, and as his mind was all
the time upon some point different from the part
which the lawyer was relating, the questions in
terrupted the history, and evidently annoyed
the lawyer.
Presently the judge said:
''Mr. H, il seems that the asst gnee trans
ferred litter Of pigs in this interest"
'Yes, your Honor" said the lawyer, and re-
sumed his statement.
The judge hurried on, and presently made
another discovery. He interrupted with anoth-
er question:
II see, in this instrument, you speak of a par
iicular pig, rs litman pig. What do you mean
by a litman pigi"
The lawyer, whose patience had become ex-
hausted, threw down his papers, and replied:
"If your Honor docs not know what litman
pig is will say, that it is the last pig introduce
ed into the litter, and is always the noisiest and
silliest pig in the litter
