[Whit* Sulphur Spring, Cor. of the Cincinnati Commercial.! Connected with this famous water ing place is a line old darkey, who sits on a pine plunk at the chalybeate spring and dips up water for invalids and others, receiving such trilling sums as the visitors may choose to give him. This darkey would not bo selected among a million for beauty. He is as black as any crow that ever flew over a corn-field. No blacker being ever lived, for they couldn’t. This oitizen is stoop-shouldered and bow-legged, and Ills lingers that look like hoop-poles when stretched out upon his lap. He wears brogun shoes IS Inches long, which look at a dis tance like gunboat models. Some body has given him a pair of tight legged trousers, so that as lie ap proaches you from a distance, you see his feet before his legs come to view, just as a canal boat heaves in sight before the attached rope can be “Jim,” said 1, “where in creation were those shoes made?” “In the penitentiary, sail: hit’s de only place I could get a fit.' “What’s the size?” “No size, sab; just put in what leather dey had on hand that day. ’Poa my word, sail, everybody axes ’bout dent shoes. Dey wouldn't be so large, but I’ve got a heap of corns and bunnyuns, and I has to make bal ance for dem in having the shoes built.” “Talkabout eddiercatiug a uiggar, said Jim, brandling off to another line of thought; “an eddereated nig ger ain’t fltteu for anything. I'm agin it, for when a niggir gets book laming stuffed into bin lie’s luu swelled up todo anything.

Dose eddereated niggars is poor sticks. Their edder caiiou ain’t bread and meat and lases they can't eat it nor sleep on it nor make a homespun shirt out of it, It'll do for white folks, but niggers ain’t got no business being edderca ted; spoils ’era, sab, spoils ’em.” As he had so poor an opinion of his race, I asked him if they were better off iu slavery, “A right smart of 'em were better off.” he reylied, “but do good Lord nebbet intended one should own an other. Its contrary wise to do Hi hie, ami do Lord sent a war lo free us. 1 1 knowed wliat was earnin’ when de fust gun went off. I says to do boys on de plantation, ‘bold your grip, de Lord’s war has come.’ Some says de Yankees freed us, and dis, dat and de odder; but de Lord run dat war.” , - The Worst at It. “Doyou wantany berries, ma’am?” said a little boy to a lady one day. The lady told him she would like some, and taking the pail from him she stepped Into the house. He did not follow, but remained behind, whistling to some canaries hanging in their targe on the side of the porch. “Why do you not come in and see if I measure your berries right V” said she; “how do you know but I may cheat you!” "I am not afraid, ma'am; you would get the worst of it.” “Get the worst of it?” said she; "wliat do you mean ?” “Why, liia’am, 1 should only loose my berries, and you would be steal ing ; don't you think you would get the worst of it?” A T4*mlc*r-Ilt*art*cl Mml her. A couple of enterprising Dutchmen, doing the clothing business in Atlan ta, are interviewed by a customer in search of a coat. The senior of the Arm handles the new corner, and soon finds a “first class lit.” la an swer as to tile price, the answer is "eighteen dollars.” “Well, sir, I like your coat very much, but don’t like the price.” “Well, mine front, ze price is not ing so you like zecoat.- W e let you take ’em at Ufteen dollars.” The customer still complains of the price, saying that Ufteen dollars was too much. This was too heavy for the dealer, so, taking his customer to the extreme end of the store, and drawing him into u dark corner, he whispered in his ear: “Mine frent, I let you have zat, coat for twelve dollars and a half.” “Well, sir,” said the customer, “I like youreoatvery much, and am s_at istied with the price, yet I would like to know why this misterious perform ance.” “Veil, Mine frent, you see dot leetle man dare?
