 "That is not my business at present."
 "WhO are you, then?" finally asked the driver. unable logger to restrain the direct inquiry.
 ''I am governor of this state"
 IL was asking a good deal of the driver to expect him to be- lieve that. He showed his in- credulity.
 "Well," said MT. Seward, "sup- pose you wait until the stage gets to the next town. I know the landlord there, and he can identify me-"
 "He won't say you're the Gov ernOr I'll bet dollar"
 ''Soon afterwards the stage drew up in front of the next tav- ern, and walking up to the land lord. who stood among a crowd of loungers on the steps, Mir. Seward said:
 See here, MT. TOmpkins, you know me, do you nOt?"
 ''Yes, sir, I do."
 "Well, then, this driver is not willing to believe that I am Gov ernor of New York"
 "Stick to it, John." said the tavern-keeper. 1T don't believe it either."
 "What!" exclaimed MT. Sew ard, in aStonishment. "Then who is Governor"

is for the white lover to buy her a house, furnish it gorgeously, and make it really hls home. He does not take her to the tn eatre or balls of his own class, nor is he ever seen with her on the street ; but her house is really his home.
 She bears him children, and those children he educates and provides for, in many instances, better than his legal offspring; but he may not recognize them. The black blood in them bars that.
 When he i5 tired of his illegal flame it is the simplest thing in the world. The house and it's furnishings are hers. and what ever money he has given her be comes hers in her own right; and the middle aged woman who has lost her beauty accepts the situaS tion, lets the furnished rooLns to single gentlemen, and lives in comfort all her life on the pro ceeds. It is for this that she en- ters into the arrangement in the first place, and its ending satis- fes her. She accumulates the money, her children, who would pass for white anyWh ere except in the South, go elsewhere where their talent has scope; and sthe daughters may emigrate also, or they may stay in New Orleans and gO through the same experi- ence that their mother did before them.
 This explains why the male oc- toroon is generally well edu- cated and altogether superior sort of man. "Nigger" as he is, he has the best blood of the South in his veins always, and if there is anything in blood he must be a superior man.
 These octoroOns were, for the most part, slaves prior to the war, they being employed as house servants and in confiden- tial positions. In those 'good old days" beautiful Octoroon girl brought very high prlce- for what purpose may be imag- ined-and the trade in them was made regular thing in New Or leans.

"Governor'' Weed.

In connection with MT. Sew ards executive service there vsed to be told a good story, which had wide circulation, and which was enjoyed by no one more than by the governor him. self.
 While journeying about the State, Mir. Seward was fond of accosting all sorts of people, with whom he discussed public meas ures, without disclosing his own identity. It was safe to resort to this in districts removed from the ordinary route of travel.
 On one of his trips the Cover nor was passing through far western county, and, as was his custom, rode on top of the stage, by the side of the driver. He took lively interest in all that was passing, and constantly piled his companion with questions. He wanted to know about crops, facilities for transportation, the population of each hamlet, who kept the taverns, who were the leading politicians, what was the condition of churches, schools, poor-houses, etc.
 Finally it came to the drivers turn to ask questions, and inflam-

''I feel it my duty to inform you," he began, as he met bank president on the street, "that your cashier is-ha-that is, he gambles. Yes, sir, he frequents faro rOoms."
 "Just.heard all about it half an hour ago."
 "You did?"
 "Yes, sir. Cashier came in and informed nae that he won $12,00O and broke a faro bank last night. He buys $l0,000 of our stock at par, gets vacation of four weeks, and will hereafter devote himself to draw poker. Come and see us when you want a shave"

The Territorial prison, at Yu- ma, is heavy bill of expense to the taxpayers of Arizona. Year after year the cvst of maintaining it steadily increases. The plan
 proposed by a cOtemporary of sending our convicts to some eastern institution is meeting
 with favor. That there will be
 great saving to the Territory if such a plan is adopted. has been
 shown exclusively. Besides, it
 is conceded that Yuma is not the
 place for such an institution. Locking from sanitary point of
 view, the place should never
 have been chosen for such a pur-
 pose. It IS hard enough on the
 wretches whom society has de- creed shall be deprived of liber-
 ty, to suffer that deprivation.
 But when to 1t is added the addi-
 tional punishment of being cOm-
 pelled to breathe the air of Yuma
 in a close cell, when the place is as sultry as an annex to Tophet,
 is indeed, the very refinement of cruelty. And again, there is no possibility that the Territorial prison can ever be made selfsus- taining so long as it remains at Yuma. Beyond digging down the hill on which the structure stands, there is no employment to which prisoners can be put that would prove remunerative. This one fact, alone, should cause our legislature to hesitate about appropriating any more money for the building of the Yuma prison pen. Either remove the institution to some point in the Territory where there is some | probability of it's being made seIfsupporting, or else adopt the plan of farming out our cOnvicts to some eastern establishment. We are aware these ideas will not meet the views of some gen.
 tlemen in Yuma, (nOt in the prison,) but we believe the tax payers of Arizona will heartily endorse them.-Florence Enter prise.

CHARITY WORK.

AS some interest has been taken in lot
of goods sent me for "Fiood Sufferers" it is
proper 20 state that said goods consisted of
eight barrels and three boxes of good sec
ond hand clothing, and a few bed clothes,
collected and sent free of charge, from the
Court Street Methodist and Episcopal
Church, Rockford, Ill.,, Rev. r. r. Stro-
bridge, pastor. About twenty families
have been assisted, besides quite num-
Der of individual cases.
I take pleasure in acknowledging the
valuable assistance Of Mr.. W. F. Mckee,
G. Yost and the officers of the ferry-boat
Three States, and the transfer steamer
Morgan. BY the aid referred to | have
been able to assort and forward the goods
to needy and known families at Norfolk,
Birds Point and East Cairo, free of charge,
and know that they have been gratefully re-.
ceived.
The rumor that a part of tue goods were
"gobbled" before reaching the parties to
whom they were directed, is mistake.
The three packages in question were for
warded to Norfolk through the solicitation
of Mrs. Frazier, and | saw her Saturday,
and learned that the clothing so sent to her
and two other families came duly to hand
and were duly appreciated.
If the good people at Rockford could
know how many have been made com.
Portable by their timely benefaction, they
would feel well compensated for their
trouble.
Though the trust has been one OF some
annoyance and little expense here, yet it
has had its compensation r the thought
and knowledge that, at least, some suffer
ing is thereby alleviated
