The colored brethren are slowly beginning to recognize the fairness and liberality of ex-President Cleveland toward their race. While Mr. Cleveland did not coddle them be treated them *s having equal political rights with all oilier American eitieens, Norcross Town Council has been knocked our by railroad superin tendent. The Council decreed that no passenger train should be allowed to stop on the crossing at the depot. The railroad superin tendent ordered trains to run through, and the Council succumb ed and rescinded the ordinance.

The hump on the child is not very large but it can be moved and closed up like one of these patented spring bustles. The fa ther of the child says that if any one doubts tne statement, they can come and investigate the matter for themselves. The Times’s informant says that he heard several reliable persons say that it cannot be doubted and that it is not just a hump, but its shape, size and measurements are those of a Rustle. Now, as children are being born with these articles of necessity on them, it is presumable that they will go out of fashion, or that the future generation of people will not be forced to spend their cash for them, and will have more money to spend for beer.
