ENTERTAINED by DANCING.

At one of the stations at which the train
stopped in the southern part of Virginia "a
large crowd Of negroes gathered around one
Of the platforms, where Mr. Polk
Miller was playing on the banjo.
They listened for some time in
silence until one old Uncle Ned came forward
and began dancing A ring around HIM was
soon formed, and the venerable figure went
through figures and steps that surprised many
of the white OnloOkers. In one of the breaks IN
the dance some one gave hlm n
"four-hngern drink and then he added TO his
laurels. As the train was about 10 stop he
dropped on his back and executed on the
ground the most extraordinary contortlons
with his shoulders and legs.
