Tsharp County Record.l

 Eo, npnhers of wears the old Bay State, existing and doing business unoer 'ne cnpnomen of Massachusetts, has been los- inp flesh over the condition of the negro in the Sonth. It has been wrought up, to outside appearances at least, almost to the pitch of high frenzy over the treatment or the colored race by the people ot the SouIh
 Particularly have the women ol Massa- chusetts chewed the rag over the coon Who made his dwelling place among the cotton fields and 'possum forests. The masculine portion of that noble domain have taken some interest in this matter, of course, but being too busily engaged in raising beans and straining cod-liver oil to become lm- portant factors in the liberation ot tnelr down-trodden and unknown friends the job has been turned over almost enirely to their wives, who used an extensive vocabulary in denouncing Southern poor white trash and Southern atrocities, and have in fact labored with zeal worthy ol a better cause-say baking beans or some thing of that order. It is fact that numbers of times these women, who per haps have never yet seen 6 family of pick aninpies, have assembled and passed reso- lutions denouncing and deploring with regret as deep as Cape Cod, the Southern er,s treatment of the negro. From foun- tain which never runs dry, even in a drouth, they have drawn sympathy by the bucketfull, and with eyes swimming In tears of brine, have offered the negro in the South a generous portion. But he must take it at distance for, strange to say, up to this writing these people have failed to invite the negro, his family and friends, to come and live in their sweet laud of liberty, beans and sea breezes. They have implored for laws to prevent swift iustice being meted out to the burly buck who assaults apd outrages Southern womanhood They have denounced the whole South, the whole Southern people all for the negro. The condition of the negro in the South has been pictured black as darkest night by many she-male plat form lecturers in the old Bay State. All sorts of didoes have been cut, but after all, no transportation has been sent South to deliver the coon to Massychewsitts society.
 la view of these facts, the Record cannot help but be proud of the fact that Gov. Jefferson Davis pardoned Andrew rhomp- son. a negro, from the Arkansas peniten- tiary on condition that he go to the state that loves him so and contains his friends. We hope Andy will hie off to Massychew- sitts with an exceedingly swift hie, where he will no doubt be hugged till his ribs pop and he has crean in his neck. We are glad Gov. Davis issued this pardon, realizing at the same time that it was not

the proper caper. It is Q bad precedent 10 set, for those folks up there, who love the negro so, may not hold horse thief in such esteem, and Arkansas in return may get two of the latter. However, that wouldn't be such 8 bad basis to trade on, and we wish the governor would send our friends in the Bay State whole colony at the same rate he disposed of Andy Thompson. We would like to see Coolie under the divine influence and under the process of reformation in Massychewsltts. On some hot, sultry day we would like to walk into Bosting, the city famous the world over for beans and culture, and watch the good folks there as they pass the corners, on every one of which IS a gang of their colored friends, apply the uuint-essence of roses or camphor to thelr nostrils. and swear at the wind for com iag from the leeward.
 But there's no use talking about these things, for Miss MassycheWsitts is not going to throw open it's doors to the negro. 1t does not want the negro. IL does not love the negro half as much as it hates the South. and the negro furnishes text from which to vent its spleen. Let 1t howl. While the South does not enjoy It, she does not particularly object, The vail is pathetic because it has skim over it's eyes, but quite attractive because 1t is curiosity.

(Doniphan (Mo) Prospect News) In pardonirg a negro convict upon con- dition that he immediately go to Boston and become a citizen of Massachusetts for reformation, Gov. Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, has perhaps hit upon the true solution of the race question. The north, and especial ly the elite eastern portion of that section, has always presumed to dish up plenty of advice to the south as to how to control the negro, and under Gov. Davis plan the sentimental bean eaters are to be given an opportunity to put their highborn theories into practice.

Mr.. Weddle, visiting his wife's rela-
tives up in Maine, fairly had to go to
church that Sunday. He did not want
to go, but his wife thought it would
do him good, and would be apt to pre-
serve the harmony of the family.
The sermon was long and powder
dry, and Weddle stole off into the arms
of Morpheus, gently and serenely. AS
he did not snore his wife did not sus-
pect that he had gone to sleep along
side of her, and gave herself up fully
to inspecting the bonnet Of the woman
in the pew in front.
Like all things, good and bad, the
sermon came to an end at last, but
Weddle slumbered ON like a baby even
after a deacon began taking up the
collection in Il hat. When the derby
was passed to Weddle, Mrs. Weddle
was surprised to see that he did not
respond. She nudged him violently to
bring him back to his senses, and We'd
ole, awakened with a start, sat up
right. and, bewildered, gazed at the
hat in the hand of the deacon. Then
he shook his head sleepily and said:
mo, that isn't mine. Mine is a gray
fedora. New York Tribune.

An Unofficial Order.

Thomas, tenth Earl of Dundonald at
his death Vice-Admiral in the English
navy, tells in his autobiography of a
Seaman" of an incident on board the
Hind, on which he served as midship-
man. The pet of the ship was a parrot,
the aversion of the boatswain, whose
whistle the bird learned to initiate ex-
actly.
One day party of ladies paid us a
visit aboard. BY the usual means of a
whip" on the yard-arm several had
been hoisted on deck. The chain had
descended for another. Scarcely had
it's fair freight been lifted out Of the
boat alongside when the parrot piped,
LET gow
The order was instantly obeyed. and
the unfortunate lady instead of being
comfortably seated on deck, was soused
in the sea.
Luckily for her, the men were on the
watch and quickly pulled her out, and
luckily for the parrot the boatswain
was on shore, or this unreasonable as
sumption of the boatswain's functions
might have ended traglcally for the
bird.

Queen Victorin's Way.

The Queens interest in and oversight
cf public affairs did not cease with the
Princes death, although, in the first
years of overwhelming sorrow, it must
have been difficult to carry out her con-
ception of duty. All important resolu-
tions were taken by her; the personal
notes in the Court Circular" We're
written by her own hand, and We're
seen by no one else. When Sir Henry
Ponsonby became the Queens private
secretary, she said to him: Remember
this: no advice l am older than you
are, and have had more experience"
In after years, historians will have
much to say upon the Queens personal
share in the government of her CO.
minions. All her papers have been
most carefully preserved and arranged,
and some day, perhaps, will be ac-
cessible TO the inquirer. On the other
hand, there is not a single paper be-
longing to George III. which is known
to be in Observation-Disclosures Oscar

Napoleon Bonaparte's will, among
those of great men, affords the nearest
parallel to that of Cecil Rhodes in the
fortune it bequeathed. He was surely
the richest exile since the world be-
gan. From his lonely home at st.
Helena he bequeathed to his relatives
and friends $4,000, 900. He had been
rich, in gold as in power, beyond the
dreams Of avarice, and there must
have passed through his hands pri-
vate fortune such as mortal man has
rarely dreamed of. His eXactions from
conquered States have been set down
at nearly $375, 100000. which is. after
all, but six times multiplying the gift
he secured for himself from the Aus
trian treasury after Austerlitz.-Chi-
