A Curious Habit.

-NeM 1 VTh sum
The habit that Southern negroes have of
talking to themselves is noticed by every
one in the towns below Mason and Dixon's
line. One servant In a Southern family
used to carry on conversations with her
self, sometimes alleging earelesSness and
disorder in one tone of voice, then defend
ing herself from those charges in another
tone. She would upbraid and apply dis
agreeable epithets to herzelf when things
were not to her mind, while at other
times, especially when she WAS dressed in
her best, she would stand before her
mirror and assure her reflection that she
was just as pretty as white folks.

The election was far from being quiet
and unoventfuI, and sharp words tinged
with bitter innuendoes few in pro-
mixcuous confusion. tt required twelve
attempts before the full ticket was
chosen, but by dint Of shrewd political
work the commissioners were elected.

OF the board passed through
the ordeal without a scratch, but ths
