(?) —The following is from the Courier Journal, and it is true. If let alone the colored people of Georgia would be Impp". They are all, or those who will, making a good living, find plenty to do, and are learning to behave themselves. If the busy-bodies from the North would let them alone they would nil bo happy ; but ever and anon some adventurer comes along and induces a lot of them to joio in the exoilu . R ad : Those poor, persecuted, hunted, lacerated, perforated, scourged, flayed, houseless anil homeless negroes in Georgia own over $5.- 000.000 worth ol property, including 341,- 139 acres of land. The Indiana republican committee is trying to get these poor people to come to Indiana and live od ten cents a day and the kitchen sweepings. At the Yorktown celebration a ‘‘blursted Hinglishman,’’after surveying the situation ami surroundings, said : “'I can well un derstand now why Lord Cornwallis surren dered Yorktown. II I owued such a place I would give it up myself.” A Boston preacher said : “The little good anv of us can do must be done with our hearts thumping against the hearts of our fellow-men.” And every young woman in church looked at every other woman and smiled approvingly. An Ohio editor was rendered insane while going home at night by hearing the following come In ra a dark porch on a shady street : • Oh, John, I wonder if that moustache feels ns good on your lips as it did on mine ?” Jotiu’s answer he did not wait to hear. 11.
