TALES OF THE DAY.
The Cock and the Raven.

New York Post: In a recent book,
''Aus Fritz Reuters Jungen und Alien
Tagen' It is related that he. wishing to
paint the portraits of Lining and Min
ing" Reuter- promised, if they would sit
nicely. to take them to Stavenhagen to
see q menagerie. At the menagerie he
purchased for them a raven who could
speak. and whose phrase. was What do
often quarrelled with a young cock. but
was constantly defeated in fight by the
bold chandelier. One day Lining and
Mining were walking through the farm
yard with Fritz Reuter-, when they saw
the raven victoriousiy perched on the
back of the cock, whose red comb he un-
mercifully picked and tore, now and then
stopping to croak. What do you say,
now, you gooSe?"

RACE PREJUDICES IN MASSA-
CHUSETTS.

There are very few people without
strong prejudices, and it only needs
the occasion to arouse them. This has
been shown in Massachusetts very re-
Gently in the case of Isaac B. Allen, a
negro, who was elected a member of
the governors council last November.
Massachusetts loves the colored man
as she loves Plymouth Rock, but some
what further removed. Her heart
bleeds for him when he is maltreated
in the south; when, as a member of
the council of the governor of the Bay
state he is snubbed and subjected to
Sights, her heart does not increase its
beats for him. 1t was in Massa-
chusetts where William Lloyd Garri-
son rocked the cradle of abolition, but
Massachusetts fully recognizes that
the cradle is no place for a full grown
negro. But if Mr.. Allen had been
elected to a similar position in some
southern states and had there the
same Sights put upon him that have
been in Massachusetts, the cutlery
against the outrage would have been
loud and prolonged. If the election of
one negro to high office arouses so
much prejudice and animosity in the
Bay state, what would be the result
were the whole state threatened with
negro rule? Race prejudices are al
most as strong in one part of the
country as in another, bus in many
parts there are not present the same
causes, in so great abundance, to stir
them up. Fill the people of the Bay
state with the fear of negro domina-
ton and they will be no more favor
able to it than the people of South
Carolina or any other state. The hui
man nature in us all is very much
