HER MASTER A GENTLEMAN.

A Boston couple were recreating
near Augusta, Me-, and met an old
negro woman to whom they took a
fancy. They invited her to pay
them a visit, and the colored wo.
man accepted, especially as her ex-
penses were TO be paid.
In cue time she arrived in Boston
and was installed in the house OF
the white folks. She was given one
of the best rooms, ate at the same
table with her host and hostess.
At one of the meals the hostess
said: "Mrs. Jones. you were a
slave, weren't you ?"
Eyes, marm," replied Mrs. Jones.

From a Country Contributor.

From Country Contributor.
The Editor of the Yellow Jacket seems to
think he has some old ehums in Preston
county, but we will give him the valuable
Information that when the civil war closed,
all or the greater part of the negroes went
South. Therefore If he is hunting for ony
OF his relatives he will probably seek with
more success IN his native state. The Editor
when he ChHslened his paper did not name
1t Yellow Jacket on account of its sting, but
because it had become so stained with
Ethiopian oil il was coated with yellow.
As To us circulation three fourIhs Of the
papers enters negro homes where they take
1t because ITS language is of the same hue as
their skin. And now Mr Editor if you
come up associate with white people awhile
you will give up the Yellow Jacket and 90
to picking cotton.
