Tippu Till, -who is on liU May to Mi'oca, uniil recently: "Wlilto men liavo inojfioet iilens of our ninniicrs nuil cus toms. T icy liave the effrontery to pro pro to nb lMi nt ono in other lnnds iualitutioim which qulto recently flutir-i-heil in their own. I nm tolj Hint iu a Uljj country called Russia, eonio yenM tigo, nearly nil the comniou people wero slaves, and trunt n.cry . has befallcu them since Un-y becaiiio their own mas ters. What is tho inference between a slavo nml a serrnut? Tiio servant is fiVo, mid may loavo his master when ha pleases. So may my slaves. I liavo no guards to keep them from deserting me. They oio loo well content with their lot to run away. If I wero unjust to them, perhaps thoy might, flee. But what wouM happen then? They would sim ply fiili-onco more into the power of their equals, to bo told ngniu, to be' mal treated, to be killed, perhaps, or to toil, very likely, twice as hard as- they did before. You say it. is immoral to own slaves; that slavery debases men and puis thorn on a lovel uith cattle. Now, it does not debase a negro to exchange tllo abominable yokj of a negro tyrant for, the protesting care of an Arab mas ter, whose religion commands him to bo benevolent nnd just. You say the negroes are our brethren. Well, we treat tliom qulto fraternally, since wo raise our children with theirs. We aro kinder to them than you mo to your lackeys. I should no! dare to treat a negro ns I ii.iTo seen wmto travelers treat their white servants.' If wo buv min it l only because they are offered to' us, ntid no can not procuio labor in any other way j and I am sure it is bolter for tlom to fall into our hnuda than into those of tribal enemies who kill or further de- grado them. If yon call it immoral to compel mon to woi c for their bread, men who ould rather steal it than win it honorably, I should liko to asl; on what basis your morality rests. If nil tho savages and cannibals of Africa could ba reduced to a condition "of slav ery their children would some day corji. stituto nations and would bless us for lifliug tlmni outoX, astatoof savagery. The slai o trado exists everywhere In the luterior, and the African himself does not wis'.i to suppress it. Ho would sell himself if he wero emancipated. Free dom for him means nothing mcro than license to steal, to kill, to get drunk.

An English merchant, long resident in New York, told mo once that ho was always impressed on revisiting England with the greater deference there paid to mere wealth as compared with his adopted country. Ho told nie especially of an occasion when lie rijde iu a car riage with two kinsmen, ono of whom was very wealthy, and afterward lord mayor of Loudon, while tho olbor was unsuccessful and poor. It was the richer relative's carriage in which they wero riding, and tho other, although by far tho more refined and cultivated mau of tho two, went uncovered in deference ad tho way.

One kind hearted enumerator in uidiana, ith a dolicnoy worthy ot em ulation, describes n lady In his district is being "deformed in right oye. " Erery oin has heard conrsenud ribald remarks nbout eyes whoso axis ot vision was ohliqned, but tho man from tho hoop pole section struck a now stylo. Another Indiana man mentioned a considerable! number of persons iu his returns as "Disablod by rum," or "pnitinlly disabled by rum, " That par nlysed the clerks until a shrewd ono de cided that the enumerator reported "jrtlm" ns an abbreviation ot rheumat ism nnd correspondence proved ho was right. From llllnoli a man U reported ns "deaf in bin ears. " Tho official was probably thus pirticular for fear that tho superintendent might think the deafness was in the shouldois or kuee joints, Referring to the "deformity in right eye, " many schedules returned reported persons niiiicreil Willi "crippled speech or "speech deformed. A citizen of Arkansas raised such n .orioui row with an enumerator that tlie ciisi; was duly reported.

A doubting Pennsylvania enumerator reported ono case, "claims to be crippled," nnd a decidedly un gallant one (to say the least) at Lowell, Mass,, tells of a young lady as "de formed; bow legs, bad. Not tho least amusing of the census humors is the number of namesakes of great statesmen and others long gone over to the "silent majority, " and these are by no means confined to the South ern nogroes, who assumed names at choice after the emancipation.
