BILL OF SALEIS FOUND
FOR NEGRO cHlLDRI

A bill of sale for four negro children,
aggregating in value 81, $780, is a curiosity
that few possess, although they were
doubtless quite common a half century
ago. Captain r. NJ. Roberts, who deals in
real estate, however, found such a bill of
sale among the possessions of an old ne
gro who once belonged to his father. The
old fellow is now dead. He was Uncle
Sidney who for a number of years worked
in the zoo at Grant Park, but who died
some time ago. Uncle Sidney is mentioned
in the bill of sale.
James Roberts, Who is referred to in
the bill of sale, a copy of which is given
was the father of Captain E. M. Roberts,
of Atlanta, and the William ]. Roberts
in whose presence the paper was signed
is the brother of Captain Roberts, and is
now a prosperous planter in a south Geor-
gia county.
1t will be noticed that the bill Of sale
is dated, February 20, 1854, which was AZ
years ago. All of the negroes are living
with the exception of Uncle Sidney.
The bill of sale is as follows:
South Carolina, Anderson district: Re-
ceived February 20, 1854, of James Roberts,
of Hall county, Georgia, $500 in full for
four negro children to wit: Phillis, ten
years and four months old; Larkin, nine
years old; Sidney, eight years first Of
August next, Merida four years old 9Th OF

for life, and the title good against all law

Salaries Of OFFICIALS.


Propositions to raise Washington salaries will
generally be regarded with suspicion. The ex-
PLANTATION that the officials are sacrificing large
private interests to accept a low salary from
the government has been stretched to the limit.
The fact is that comparatively few men
earn 5000 year in the law or in any other
profession Almost any town could entertain
comfortably a convention Of those earning more
than this amount With few conspicuous ex-
ceptions the office holders In Washington are
paid literally. The country sees no occasion for
the food of bills to increase salaries

HIGH ON The HILLS.

High on the hills the great winds strongly
blow:
The crisp, dry grasses ghiver to and fro;
A fleck Of white, a drifting, wind-bloWn boat,
Sails over head: immeasurably remote,
The blue, hazc-hidden valleys lie below
The far-hcard, lonely cawing of a crow
Trims into silence. Ghostly still and slow,
The LONG cloud-shadows softly hoat
High on the hills.
unmitably far the blue skies go;
The worldwide wind-swept spaces wider grow
A pulse Of mighty meaning thrills the throat
OF ecnoing silence with s0undless nolei
Eternity draws nearer than We Know
High on the hills.
