■ With Vnu ot his Eats.
( -k lutalpbUTiu**:]
in waiting up the negro character
and cbpractetisticK, often the pen it
laid aside with the mental thought,
“there it no more to be said; I have
exhausted the negro subject.” - But
after all it seems inexhauitible, lor
little unexpected rnCidants occuring
on a plantation frequently give rise
to various ideas in regard to fread
labor, which otherwise would not
suggest themselves. As is general-
Jy known the negroes do not, except
in a few insolated cases, possess any
given name,which is their’s by right
of birth or inheritance. Since free
dom, however, they have adopted
any name that strikes their lane
and ev.incea the greatest delight
when they are addressed aa Mr..
Mrs., or Miss Wilson. Walk.r
Jones, as tne case may be.
For years alter the new order of
things South, the lady or gentleman
of the house would express consid
erable disgust and indignation, if,
when called out to see Mr. or Mrs.
Somebody, they should be confront
ed by a dusky son or daughter ef
the land. But habit becomes second
nature and we are becoming quite
accustomed to the Mr. or Mrs. of
the freed negroes of the South. This
mode of address, however, is never
employed by the whites. We skill
cling to the Unde and Aunt of ante
bellum days, where the age of the
person addressed warrants the
courtesy.
As a general thing the negro pute
ub his Sunday manner* with bis
Sunday clothes and the grimy work-
ing John of the week on Sundays
develops himself into the respects'
ble, dashing Mr. Thomas, aping to
pertection the manners ana styles
ol the young boss of the plantatu
while the dusky belles borrow many
little airs and graces from u de white,
’oraan” whom at heart they truly
detest. This Sunday dvilty rarely
ever extends itself to the wnites,aad
they frequently pass yon withdefiant
looks or averted heads, this being
more easily noticeable in the freed
woman, nor are the men as polite to
the whites when they are la com
pany with the gentler sex as when
they are alone.
Not long since a gentleman and
his wife returning from church,met
quite a dusky tbroag just in front ot
the meeting house. Both the lady
and gentleman gave them a kindly
bow and smile, while the gentleman
bent forward and pleasantly remark
ed: “You have had a nice day {(or
going to church.” Not a smile, not
a word in answer to hie salutation,
only a sea of of dark brows and sul
len faces. Sorely discomfited the
gentleman drew his bead in the
huggy.while his wife quietly chuck
led in her corner aad teasingly ob
served: “Your politeness was iost
on that crowd.”'
Ob no,.not lost, but 1 feel sorter
cheap,” he replied.
And now for a conversation be
tween Miss Wilson and Mr. Hun
ter.
“Good evenini
is tnore’n please:
is your bet?”
“Jis middlin’, trank you.Mr. Hun
ter. How ta you stanaing de times
youaeff"
“Jit tolurble, frank you Mist Wil
son, I wus cornin’ down to see ybp
to-nite.”
“All rite, Mr. Hunter, do so; I’ll
be tnore’n proud to ’ceibe yon. I jis
earned up to de quarter to see Mrs.
Walker ’corden to a pintment I
made wid her. I’ll be turning koine
in less dan no time.”
“In dat cose miss, I’ll gib mysef
de pledger of reacorting yon beck
home; dal is if you ain’t in no wise
’posed to my company ."
“Jla listen,Mr. Hunter,how you is
u talking! In course I’ll be more n
proud to ’ceibe year detentions and
I ain’t gwine to keep your pstiuace

to tee you. How
ber and I told her as I ingenaraliy
axes de ladiea what I want to treat
and ahe bad better wait till I axked
her and dtn ’low me fp treat her.”
Did you ever aak ber?” queried
young Lucy.
“In cuurae not; I tin think it ia
’coming in a lady to ax a geateun
to treat her. Miaa Lucy,” he con
tinued, looking at hi* feet, “how ia
you like clem two treats I gin you?”
“Oh, I liked them ever so much.
Did you enjoy the dancing?”
“Don’t talk about it. Da; dancing
beat creation. It’pears like as bow
you gits arou«’mity life , aad easy
like. Dat Baker gal flings herself
around like she was gwine te tear
lings all to splinters and yet you
beat her all hollow.”
“You mutt know,” replied Lucy,
yrith * conscious tone ef importance,
“that the white folka taught me how
to dance. I dances just as th* white
•killuni rl4a«c. Z ItKfiS (be glide,
polka. the wait* and such like, but
these quarter bands esn’t dance so
much as that.”
“That’* so” replied the lad; “but
tin you think a* how I kep’ up wih
you pretty, well, la*’, night? 1 kin'
Whittle all dem air* Miss Amy play a,
and it ’peart te me as it I is ketch-
ing dem fancy ttep* right along.”
. “Oh yes, Water, you dees right,
considering; but Miss Amy is I jest
calling me and I must go. Good
night. Don’t forget to pile me
qp some wood on the alley befere
you go, and may be one of these
day ! will learn von how to dance
ight nay. Good night agin.”
. it perhaps after all we hare
wandered too far in search of true
negro galantry and could have
found it batter exemplified in the
aged colored .man who lifts his torn
hat from his snowy head^nd bring
ing his right, fot foreward, scrapes
it on the ground saying as he does
sot “De morning to you, mister;’’
or yet.in the decrepit negroes who
drop* respectful conrtecy and with
a kindly smile on her withered face
extends her hand Tor a greeting,
bqt these old landmarks are fast
dying out and there ia left in their
stead a race of nncultured beings,
Who, save in self-interest will have
no kindly feelings for Useir white
employers.

Said Bill Pearce, in tlje hearing
of the Toccoa News: ' I never kill-
ed but two men in the war. It
was at Cleveland,Polk county,Ten
nessee, one Sunday.evening about
sun-down. They nad been killing
the pickets. My tprn came and I
thought I was a gone Injun, but I
kept a sharp lookout aad at sun.
down I saw a negro slipping
through the bushes coming at me;
I watched until I was satisfied he
intended ,to kill me and then I pop-
K him. Then * white nuin came
of the bushes rjght at me. It
waa one or the other; I didn’t want
i t to be me, so I gqve him a bullet.

“Speaking of the right of a chair

the other day, “I bad * fanny expe

A question came up one night when
I was io the chair, three aldermen

Off Miss Wilson tripped, ;her
mincing gait and coquettish twist
and turn, playing havoc wltb t thw
heart of her rustic lover. '
“Dat am share a fine young gal,”
he muttered aloud, “an’ daf tint

“I is gwine rite now, Miss Amy,

in a low tone, “I come mity nigh

“Miss Lucy,” asked a young lad
of sixteen ef my household, who it
just in her teens, raised and educa
ted by ourselves and is consequent
ly devoid of* great many negro pe
culiarities, “how did you enjoy
yourself at the party last nite?”
“Oh,- I hid a rite nice time;
