A BLACK BILL ARP.

"Gabe." the Savannah cores
pondent of the Augusta Senti-
mel, a paper owned and conduc-
ted by colored men. is a humo.
rous fellow, and his writings are
a blending of rich humor and
good common sense. He might
well be called the Bill Arp of the
negroes. Below we give sam
pie of his quaint letter:
"Gabe says now. without men
tai reservation. that the thing for
the negroes to do Is to leave
politics as rats a sinking ship.
There Is nothing in them for the
negroes but vanity, vexation Of
spirit and sore disappointing ent.
The negroes were not made for
politics. They can be tools or
PARISHES at least. The white man
and the Indian went hunting,
they killed turkey and buzz
zard. When the timo came to
divide, the white man said "In-
dian, you take the buzzard and
I'll take the turkey. or will take
the turkey and you take the buz-
zard." The Indian said: "White
man hasn't said turkey for Indian
nary time. This has always been
true of the white man and the
negroes. The white man North
or South. Democrat or Republi-
can, feels that the negroes should
always have the buzzard-and
the buzzard the negroes must
take, or such turkey bones after
the white man has gotten the
meat of.
Emancipation made a very lit
tie change in this state of things.
Some negroes went to Congress
III slavery time-went with their
masters to black boots and do
other service. They did the race
about as much good then as the
negroes who have been there
since the war. The negroes had
best all content themselves and
stay at home and get some land !;
raise peas, punkins. COOLERS, corn,
little cotton; raise hogs, cows.
chickens, turnlps, long stem col.
lards, potatoes, watermelons. and
let politics alone. Turnlps, tur-
nip said. or long stem collards,
roasted potatoes, an ash.cake,
piece of hogs head and butter
milk make the best dish Gabe
ever had. Gabe loves to think of
those times. Then the negroes
were healthy.
1t did not matter how much of
those things the negroes ate at
night, they turned up all right
the next morning. Such things
as asthma, catarrh, dyspepsia and
consumption were unknown
among us when we ate this hsa-
venly food. In those days ne
Rrees didn't have corns on their
