Thomas c. Graves is high toned
colored gentlemen who has a step-father
who has a loOking-glass, All three lived to-
gether in the same house and the looking
glass was hung up in Thamss' room, until
yesterday, when the step-father, having
become offended at something that Thomas
had said or done, resolved that his looking
glass should no longer adorn Thomas
