Mr. Nasby Tries au Experiment which Re
sults not as he Expected—The New Feel
ing Towards the Nigger in Indiana.
CoN.FEDurr N
i- in the State of Kentucky.) -
May 1, ISti9.
The Dia)erisy uv the country are not
i n th a t h a ppy condishen jest at this time
that I rood wish, as the satrap at the head
uv the Government, and his subordinate
satraps at the head uv the Departments,
hey not left ez many Opening ez they ought
to for our go)0(1, anti the reduckshen tiv
the expenditoors uv the Government so
persistently follered up is death to us.
We want grosuin, but it must is uv the
dismist clerks and army officers. I led
Government put a garrison into every
town cz we profcsied it wood, and coed
INT hey hed this summer in addition. the
potater rot, weevil, frost, locusts, floods.
drouth, yeller feever and cholery, we mite
hey stood some chance uv carrvin the fall
eleckshuns, for the people wooa hey mur
mord. lint ez long ez everything is
smooth, they lafl' at us when we insist
upon a change, and say, jeeringly, "Go
up bald head!"
And in addishen to these calamities we
hey bin, or are jest about bein, deprived
uv the nigger, wich hez bin our cheef and
best holt. 0, wat a backslidin there hez
bin in this matter! 0, wat a Leven there
hez bin uv the walls uv the Dimocritic
Zion! 0, wat a goin back there hez bin
on Dimocratic cardinal principles!
Feelin an uneasinis ill lily mind ez to
the condishen uv the public mind in the
Northern States en the adopshen uv the
Fifteenth Amendment.l determined to try
, a most hazardous experiment, I lied no
1 fears uv Kentucky, none. Kentucky will
git ready to adopt an idea ninety years
after date, but I felt that I wantid to be
satisfied ez to the soundnis uv the Ohio
, and Inji. any Dimocricy on this question.
To this end I determined to resort to
, strategy. I wanted to know precisely the
feelin entertained in those States regardin
the Afrikin. I wanted to see with my
own eyes the skornt'ul look wlch wuz for
merly slung at Afric's sons; I wanted to
hereagin from Dimocratie lips that cheerin
expression, "D—n the nigger, anyhow!"
To accompish this, I determined to per
sonate a nigger, and in that guise to go
boldly into Ingeany, announce myself ez
an Afrikin nigger, determined to assert his
rites; and note the result. I expected, uv
course, to be hooted and reviled. I ex
pected be stoned and shot at, but I wood
thereby kill two birds with one stun, viz.:
I wood disgust the Ingeariions with nigger
I ekality, ez they wood see to wat it wuz
leadin, and I could exhibit my scars to
Kentucky ez proof uv the stedfastnis uv
I their northern friends.
! Wat I determine upon I do. In my
younger days the feat involvin the posses
sion uv a horse, wich resulted in my bein
tried for grand larceny, and convicted
thereof by 12 prejoodist poryinen, and my
incarcerashen from which 1 wuz only re
leeved becoz my vote wuz needed to carry
Pennsylvany for Bookannon, this master
peece wuz conceeved and execooted in less
than four hours. Unforchnitly, the courts
wuz nearly ez expedishus, for four days
thereafter I found myself in a Basteel.
I entered Ingeany ez a white man; I re
jestesed my name at a hotel as a white
man, but left it a nigger, wich transfor
mashen wuz accomplished by means uv
burnt cork, in my room; which transfor
mashen wuz uv double yoose, ez it en
abled me to leave my hotel without liki
datin my account, wich otherwise wood
hey bin impossible. The county in which
I landed wuz a close one, the two parties
bein nearly tied, neither heving fifty votes
to spare, and there bein over a hundred
niggers in the country, the Afrikin will,
of he votes this fall, hold the balance uv
power.
With my face and hands black to the
color uv nite, and assuming the character
uv apreacher in the M. E. Afrikin church,
wich character I rood assoom, ez the
burnt cork hid the acquired color uv my
nose, I sallied forth boldly. Procoorin
the locashen uv the leading .Dimocra.t uv
the county, wich wuz also the candidate
for sheriff, I sought him out and demandid
a subscripshen for a Afrikin church ) wich
I asserted I wuz desirous uv erecting in
the east part uv the county, and uv wich
1 wu.z, the pastor in charge, holdin myself
at the time in such a posishen that a kick
coed do but little damage.
I wuz not kickt!
On the contrary quite the reverse! The
gushen candidate kindly, blandly and win
ningly begged me to be seated; he asked
me, with tears uv interest gushin from his
eyes, ez to the prospex uv our Zion; ez to
how many we numbered, male and female,
adult and youthful, and wether or not we
coodent indulge a reasonable hope that
many more uv our color mightn't be in
doost to leave the South and settle in the
county.
Ilopin to frighten him with nigger emi
grashen, which I hod heard him denounce
not a year before in onmitigated terms, I
anserd promptly that I wuz even then
arrangin for the removal uv three thou
sand into the county.
" Thank the Lord !" sed he. " The
admirashen I feel for the Afrikins—the
respek I hey for their manly qualities uv
head and heart, make me say, in the lan
guage of the inspired writer, The more
the merrier.' Here is my humble contri
booshen to your church," sed he, handen
me $lO, " take it, and may the Lord
bless its yoose. And next fall, after the
amendment has been ratified, and yoor
people get the rites which was alluz theirn,
I trust you will remember them wich hey
stood your friends, uv whom I am wich." ,
Dumbfoundid, I staggered over to an- '
other who wuz a candidate for Treasurer,
and to my surprise and horror he not only
give me $lO, but took me by the arm in
a most ailbeshnit manner, and insistid on
takin me round and assistin we in raisin
the amount I needid. Feelin that so far
ez hatin the nigger wuz concerned, all wuz
lost, I recklessly went with him, and
reely did raise 8100 cash off uv the candi
dates for the county offices and one wich
desires to orkepy a seat in Congris. Only
wunst was this wretch non plussed. Turn
ing a corner sharp, we came upon suthin
like fifteen gintlemen who wuz a workin
on the streets with a ball and chain at
tached to em. The minit his eyes struck
em he loosed his holt uv me and shot
ahead, keepin in advance till we turned
the next corner.
" Why this manouver as kt I, thank
ful that he had even that means of orlgi
nel Democratic feelin in him.

lint I did come to greet. One us , these
candidates itn , istid on takin nigger uZ
he sllpposed Me . 01 lie, Linn' , 10 his 110lise
to dinner. Injoodishus vz I wuz 1 went.
and ther I met my fate. Ile led me to a
chamber. and without thinkin uv the
burnt cork on lily hands. I undertook to
wash em,wich I make a pint In; oloin reg

Thi' first =plash in the water showed
me my blunder. Off came the color, and
I stood atl)re him a white man intilsgnise.
He gave ono look at my hands, and then
the kiekin Ignoininyusly he led me to
the front door, and one kick landid me on
the sidewalk. Thank I leaven, he coodent
kick that iIGO out of my breeches pocket!
It is needles to pursoo this disgustin
subjick further.
Ez a nigger I wuz, welcomed ; when it
wuz known that I wuz a white man 1 wuz
ignominiously kickt! Is this the begin
nin of a TICW order of things? Is the
gers to reeeeve all the smiles hereafter uv
Democrats who want office? I fear me.
No sooner is ther a probability of this
race gittin a vote than the Democratic
leaders, forgittin ther proud Caucashen
blood, forgittin the difference in the anato
mical structor uv the two races, and for
gittin that the minit they give the nigger
a vote, their daughters must all mary nig
gers; they forgit all this, and cuddle with
em the same ez they allui have with other
inferior classes.
I returned home weary, sad and silent.
I hed nuthin.tu say tu Bascom; no cheerin
word tu sling at Deekin Pogram. They
didn't know what I went for nor how I
went, nor shel they ever know. I am,
however, satisfied that I must immejitly
make a shift into suthin. My time here
is rapidly drawin to a close—the shedders
is closin round me, and the nits is at
hand.
PETROLEUM V. NAsnY, I'. M.,
(Wieh means Post Master.)
CLERKS, NOT TRADESMEN.
Under this caption a New York paper
delivers itself tersely and pointedly upon
the difference between the clerk and trades
man, as follows:
"Of all the independent men in the
world, he who has served his time at and
knows the secret of his trade is the most
self-reliant. What to him is the price or
the fluctuation of stock—what cares he for
goods up or down; he needs but a job, and
where lives the good workman who is
long without one? But our readers don't
ngree with us. The older ones want their
sons to be gentlemen' clerks, empty
headed, smooth-handed, spindle-shanked
dandies behind a counter or in an office.
Our schools foster contempt, for ruder em
ployments, our social atmosphere is health
ful only for the hot-house life dependents
and subordinates; and the boys are as bad
as their parents. No early hours for them;
no sturdy exercise for them, no manly
self-support, but rather the sleek hair, the
fancy dress, the bowing, the dancing,
didling, namby-pamby scraping exist
ence of a serf, a slave, and a servant.
" All country lads despise the homely
independence of the farm, and long for the
drudgery of the city. All city boys turn
from the red-checked future of a trade,
and hanker after the pallid subsistence of
clerkdom. Why is it? Why it is, we can
not understand, for of every five ho enter
mercantile life, three go to the devil of
bankruptcy, the fourth manages barely to
wriggle out an uncomfortable existence,
and the fifth is able to stand steadfastly on
his pecuniary pins and whistle "away
with melancholy." Thousands of slim
waisted, narrow-cheeked, lank-legged lads
to-day walk up and down our streets and
beg for clerkships. They are willing to
sell tape by the yard, to sweep out stores,
to run errands, to do the the bidding of
master-merchants ' and take their chances
for promotion; but they are not willing to
learn a trade, which, when acquired,
makes them free of master, thoroughly
competent to support themselves, and as
independent as the proudest meethant in
the city.
" A good trade is the . key to indepen
dence, to prosperity, to success; and no
man who has one need care a snap of his
finger for the smiles of the rich or the
sneers of the world. lie can be the archi
tect of his own fortune, and the certain
prop of his old age. '7
A PHILADELPHIA paper has the mys
terious" piece of news that the rebel rain
Atlanta," captured during Wood,
of

sold some time ago to Mr. Samuel
of New York, is being fitted out in the in

And I was sad ;

—A man in Holyoke armed two of his
neighbors with a mallet and a club to
hunt a burglar the other night. They
went around the house in opposite direc
tions and meeting in the darkness behmd
it, proceeded to pound and whack each
other in a fashion that would have been
terribly effective had either been the
burglar.
Jones, a hard drinker in Massachusetts,
had a fit and was bled. A neighbor held
the candle,
and another warned him
to be careful and not set fire to the blood.
Jones heard the remark. "There's no
danger," he growled, "it's Smith's rum."
—"Come here, sissy," said a young
gentleman to a little girl to whose sister

question" the next day.

which there are items. Life is an item.
Man is an item. Woman is an item. The
little folks are items—not much to speak
of in one sense, but often spoken of, not

earth, the ocean, are items—the latter a
moist one. This is an item. Items arc
essential. Neither the world, newspapers
nor the ladies could exist without them.
—A young gentleman in a certain busi

thoroughly enlightened in all the "myster

and as such, it has, in defiance ofall competition,
whether it be manly and honorable, or ungen
tlemanly and ignorantly discourteous, made its
way, held its own ; and established the well
merited reputation so universally extended to
the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine. Nor Is

In taking into consideration the unequalled

of manufacturing machines. Withdraw the
heavy machines from the sales of the different
companies, and where do they ate nd t Far be
