WHAT SEEMS AND is.
This Little Dialogue May Serve to Make
the Stranger Less Dihldent.


the Stranger Less Dihldent.
The palaces of America are the New
York hotels. The visitor from the back
district enters a New York hotel office
in the same spirit that he would invade
St. Peters, in Rome. There is some
thing in the architectural grandeur, il
the richness and extravaganza of form
and color, in the mellow light coming
from vaulted ceilings and colored glass
that touches the spirit with sense of
calm. And the man behind the rose
wood and onyx counter! What dignity
of mien! What austerity of counte-
nance! What Jove-like front! And the
gentleman coming yonder across the
mosaic floor. He may be the head of a
great educational institution, or a
statesman, high in the councils of the
nations. He is followed by black
servant in livery, carrying his personal
effects.
But, ali! Human nature is the same
in the midst of all it's impressiveness as
it is in Princeville or Jackson's corners.
The MISUNDERSTANDING gentleman
seizes by the hand the dignitary on the
other side of the counter and says:
Hello! old stockin', how are you? You
look fit to run four miles!"
Bully! bully! Charley, old man!
Amt seen you for coon's age. How
are they comm with you?"
"Full-handed, never better, feelin'
like a yearlin'. Wow! Ailit it cold!
Got good, hot room for me?"
Elk you proper, my boy. Have to
put you up pretty high this morning,
but'll get you down on the second floor
by noon. How'll that do you?"
Have to stand it, l suppose. Can't
you give me that hot room you gave me
last summer? Zip! but that was a
scorcher!"
"Have fire built up there now?"
mo, guess not-what's that? Num-
Der All? Can't you add A to it? I'll
go out and play it,"
Cant do it. It's beyond the limit OF
the house. Been to breakfast?"

off hers" This response provoked the
utmost enthusiasm from the men. But
the ushers would not listen to reason,
and they made me leave my seat.
The lady with the vegetable garden
triumphed, but not for long.
Looking up toward the family circle,
I saw colored damsel wearing a small
turban. l mounted to the circle. I
went to the colored lady. Pardon me-"
said I, but I have just purchased a hat
which cost me SIS only quarter of an
hour ago" l exhibited the black velvet
monument, and the colored lady's eyes
bulged out in amazement and admira-
ton.
And what about it ~ said she.
Nothing but this: it is yours if you
will do me the favor to occupy my seat
in the orchestra, No. 4S, until the play is
over"
In a second she swept off the little
turban which she wore, placed the black
velvet monument upon her head, gave it
two or three taps before the mirror in
the lobby, shook out her skirts, and
then, taking my arm, I conducted her
to orchestra chair No. As.
Oh, if you had only seen the con-
vulsive joy among the men in the orches-
ira when they saw my monumental hat
reappear upon a feminine head. This
time the ushers had nothing to say.
The lady with the vegetable garden was
vanquished. She could see nothing dur
ing the rest of the piece, and served as
focus from opera glasses from all over
the house.
Revenge! Revenge! At last I was
revenged. Ha, ha!-San Francisco Ar
gonaut

FORTUNE TELLING.

When on the grain was summers gold.
And blue was summers sky,
We went to have our fortunes told,
A witching maid and 1.
The Gypsy sibyl seemed uncouth
And weird to look upon,
And yet for each of us, in sooth,
A merry tale she spun.
Mine was a kindly Horoscopes;
/ heard my birth above
Had hung the happy star of hope,
The lambert star of love.
The star of love that bringeth bliss,
/ learned, still shed it's glow.
Much more the sibyl said, but this
Was all cared to know.
Then into Sylvia's slender hand
/ saw the Gypsy peer,
And words l longed to understand
Were whispered in her ear;
While on her cheek blush had birth
That spread in rosy fire,
AS when the winter-wakened earth
Feels springs divine desire.
We left behind the Gypsy old,
And meath dusky pine
Again was that fair story told
That ended: Sweet, be MINER
Then Sylvia, the roguish-eyed,
Laughed in her winning way;
"That's what" triumphantly she cried

| want to Gomez
81 should be delighted, my dear boy"
And in few minutes we were in
cab, rolling toward the theater.
Scarcely had we settled ourselves in
our seats when l saw, entering the row
in front of us, tall, thin blond, who
seated herself in the chair Immediately
in front of mine. And then saw with
stupefaction that she wore upon her
head curious sort of hat cooked down
In front and cooked up behind, gar
nished with flowers, with vegetables,
with shrubs-in fact, a veritable gar
den. AS she had cooked her cooked hat
over her eyes, it resulted that the rear
of this vegetable garden lowered above
the top of her blond chignon, so that
II could see no more of the stage than if
4 had been in far Cathay.
The bell rang; the curtain rose; /
heard voices-presumably of actors
but it was impossible for me to tell
AT the risk of acquiring a telescope
neck, leaned to the right, then to the
left. But had not counted on the
balloon sleeves of the blond, which
were perfect monsters of swollen silk,
and which masked completely 10th
wings of the stage as her hat did the
middle.
Holy smoke!" said 1 to my friend.
"that hat is going to be rather a nui-
sance."
The blond lady heard me; she turned
slightly, put up her lorgnon, and sur
veyed me with the utmost haughtiness.
Then, struggling her shoulders, she
pulled up her sleeves, so that it was
impossible for me to see even the
Troscenium arch. Then she braced up
her feet against the chair in front, and
ihoisted herself up a few inches, so
that by this gymnastic feat she sue
loeeded in elevating her vegetable gar
den even more than before.
In a melancholy tone I said to
tCmythe: 1T seems to me 1 would have
been better off if 1 had stayed at the
club and toasted my toes in the cafe in
front of the fire. l would not have
been incommoded or disconnected. and
L would have seen fully as much of this
piece as l am seeing now"
Hearing this, the blond lady turned
around once more, and favored me with
the most sneering smile that have ever
seen. 1t provoked me, and determined
ito give her lesson if 1 could. For
might as well have been i'll a theatre

He Didn't Know.

Magistrate Peter Hughes, who loves
a good joke, tells of a recent personal
experience with great glee. In certain
case the other day big colored woman
was a witness. She testified that she
had whipped her little boy very severe
ly, and as she went on with the story
OF the exceedingly stiff beating she had
administered the judges clear brow
grew little darker, and he interrupted
her to ask if it had been necessary to
chastise the boy so severely. The wit
ness opened her eyes widely at the ques-
ton. Gazing intently at the court, she
inquired: "Jedge, wuz you eber de
father of wuthless mulatter boy p"

TMEaCURsE OF NEGRO SUI
FRAG Il.

EESAO II.
The greatest injury ever done the
people of the South was the intro.
duction Of negro slavery. The next
greatest was the act of the Federal
government in making the black
mar coordinate sovereign Of the
State. 1t would have been a thous-
and times better for the Southern
people had they adopted pagsnism
or poiygamy instead Of negro slav-
ery,-a thousand times better for
them and tie nation at large had
the Federal government c~on6scated
every foot of coil 10 the insurgent
States, put the torch to every dwell
ing, destroyed every factory and
filled every harbor with the wreck
of railroads and the debris of. bust.
ness blocks instead of putting the
ballot 10 the hands OF the blacks.
The ruin wrought by torch and
torpedo could have been quickly re-
paired; the damage done by the
XVIII amendment is well nigh ir-
reparable. Burning with the &C
cursed lust for political power, the
Republican party, like another
shameless Tarquin, held the knife
at the throat of the southern Lucille
while it robbed her Of honor, made
her an object Of contempt, her name
a byword and a reproach. Piti:ul-
est blunder Of all ages! Most damn.
ing iufamy ever perpetrated since
the dawn Of Time! FearfuTest PEN
atty brave men eve paid for daring
death for conscience sakel
This is o republic. The supreme
power is, ostensibly at least, vested
in the people. The voter is the
sovereign. Suppose that it were an.
absolute monarchy: Would it not
be a mistake unparalleled, a crime
pnspeakable, to take from an ignor-
ant, brutal slave his shackles and
place upon his stupid head a crown?
The Republican party did even
worse than that. A sovereign can
not long Cypress a brave and spirit
ed people. Let him issue an edict
that meets with general disapproTal
and it is laughed to scorn. Should
he attemptto enforce it he is dragg.
ed from fhe throne. But the Re-
publican party corrupted a sovers
eign from whose edict there is no
appeal. 1t has debased the great
army of voters, poisoned the politi-
teal organism by injecting into it a
vast mass Of ignorance destitute of
even the saving grace Of virtue. n
Hadsthe negro been naturally the
intellectual peer Of the white mar it
would have been a grievous bluuder
to give him the ballot, to force po,.
responsibility upon him until
at least a generation after his eman
cipation. He was an untutored saw
age in his native land, making no
appreciable progress. He was capt
ured like any other wild beast,
brought to America and cold into
slavery. Here he was taught, not
how to wisely rule, tut to servilely
rule. It required a thousand years
of education to ft the thoughtful
