Ask of the wave, a- it thunders by.
What it did with yostoiday's spray
She "Wantem Hku Li:m-;u. —-It the
postoffic-e in Wilmington, N.C., a few
days afro, cl it rin" t Inc S-Gtribution of
the mail, and before the distribution
of the mail, and before the general
delivery was op- tied, a colored woman
vociferously called upon the postmas
ter to hunt her up a little “anyhow.”
“Mr. pos’master I want you to hurry
up and give iu<* my letter, 1 aint. time
to be foolin’ round here. said she.
No attention, was paid her, except by
the crowd outside, who laughed and
cheered her, while the clerks within
kept oijj'tiaily gL Presently
her attention was attracted to several
persons walking up with keys, opening
some of the boxes and taking out
mail matter. This set her off again.
“Look here, I want my letters; lu re’s
dcse rich people kin come an open
deni little windows, git der letters, an
yon won’t give me mine." “You'll
have to wait until the general delivery
is'open,” said one of the by-slanders.
“Well, dat’s what I call injustice,'
said the woman, “to let some folks
have dor letters an’ den make some
wait; au’ sprain I ain’t gut any alter
all?—sity tiow-—jes look over deni let
ters an’ see if I ain't got one."
iiff" A curious Frenchman has been I
making a calculation, which is, that a ;
man talks bn an average three hours
a day bt the rate of about twenty-nine
octavo pages an hour. This would
make eighty-fee ven pages a day, about
six hundred a week, which would
amount to fifty-two good sized vol
umes every year! And then, multi
plying this by the number of years in
a man’s life, what a library he should
have if it should all bo printed ! And,
too, how very little of the whole would
bo worth preserving, and of how much
he would be so-glad if it been left un
said.
True as Holy Writ. — Here is the
truth in rt rmtshell. The 'Rochester
Union says: The Northern half of
the Union, with every element of
wealth and prosperity— with its shops
turning out the results of mechanical
skill, and* the fields- blossoming with
abundant harvegts—is in a state of
stagnation because of the condition
of the South, for it is as much against
reason to expect that one half of the
country can be in a sickly condition,
approaching death, and the other half
in a healthy condition, with vigorous
lifefas to expect that one side of one’s
body can .boa mass ohputrifafction
and the other side a type of perfec
tion , , -
c<iW*oiuj)dr'rtry -fenvft: A news
paper and a newspaper editor that
people donfc talk about and some
times abuse are rather poor concerns.
The JiV&rfcAd Inte'ih'Sss that au edttor
sometimes feels it a duty to defend at
a rfob of 1 mulling enemies of another
class, are ofton the very first to show
ingrafitmlb'. He who expects to re
ceive much charity or gratitude will
soon find out his mishUcfe; but be
should go ahead and say and do what
he conscientiously thinks is right.
jßgrSuuday night, a Detroit police
man, passiug a certain house about
ten o’clock, saw a f TW;ln drop from a
winduy; apd heard smothered cries
inside. Ido seized the man for a bur
glar, but soon found that he had the
the house in his clutches.
‘‘AYedi;; said the officer, “it lo<>lo sus
pifciMsAoi'ee 3 cm drop out of a win

man, heaving a sigh, “when the old
