to them, they would ',ratter to various remote see

The prejudice ogainst blacks extends to every
elan, and may be remarked in pleasure and in
business. At theatres, and consorts, lectures and
churches, the negro is reetrioted to a remote gal
lery. In mechanical pursuits, if 11 colored appren
tice or journeyman be employed, there is an im
mediate rebellion upon the-part of the white la
borers. It has been to us a matter of, wonder how
the black man masters any trade, studies for any
profession, or learns anything of the arts. In only
the dull, manual labors, has he a show of equitable

RODMAN 13TRISZT
We passed with our guide up South street to
Ninth, and thence to Rodman street. Several fine
dwelling:, of three and fear stories, fronted with
white marble, and having doors of carved stone,
were exhibited upon those avenues. Rodman
street runs parallel with South street, one half
square above it. It is peopled almost entirely by :
colored families. We gazed with curiosity at fts
rows of tall, beautiful houses, and law ' with some
interest, the clean pavements and street. In aims
places .floe ornamental trees stood upon the side
walks, and in the doorways the families of colored
men were seated. By the Imperfect moonlight
they seemed to be neatly dressed. There was no
loud laughing or talking; in Dot, it seemed to us
that we had not remarked for the early, evening
eget:, geperai decorum in any street in the city.
Qpr gguide said, with some earnestness, " Street°
like, this your people never visit. They wander
through Baker, and Bedford, and Spofford streets,
to find subjects for ridicule and pity, but never
look into these oheerful homes, or speak with these
families of our better classes. There is
,a bright
side as well as a dark to our condition, although
some my wo are ail dark."
Ile laughed shortly at his own wit, but there
was mare of thought then of humor in his speech.
We passed into One of the Rodman street dwell
ings, and, while the host wee being summoned,
looked over a music) book which lay upon the piano.
There was a Variety of operatic. Must:. and most of
the popular ballads The colored owner of the
establishment referred with some pride, when he
made his appearance, to his daughter's accomplish
ments. She had gone to Rape May with her me
tiler, during the hot eeason. She was a very good
girl, and - he had determined to give her what he'
had often vainly pined for—an education. Ito
spoke for soma moments, in his homely way, able
business SUMS end integrity. We heard him with
some pleasure. As we were about going, he pressed
us to- take some domestic wino—his daughter's
" make "—and we were able, upon trial, to do
justice to a small bottle.
PASIIIONAELE COLORED DWELLINO IN SOVTR
TWELFTH STREET.
We passed up to Twelfth street, nearTino, and
r anted bonze a magnillaeat four•ntory brick dwell•
g.
n The sidewalk was shadowed by adult maples,
and the white marble steps of the dwelling were
guarded by iron railing. A quadroon girl was sit
ting upon these. She saluted oar conductor in. a
pleasing voice, and lad the way through a
broad hall From the soiling swung a lantern,
the light of which disclosed the furniture of the
hail. A fleo hat-rack sat against the wall, and the
vestibule was splendidly papered. The girl gave
us seats in -the parlor, where we half-buried 'our
selvoe in a. spring ottoman, and went out to seek
her mother. We found hero, alga, a piano; the
furniture wen of a costly eharaeter '
and had we
been blindfolded, and here regained our eyesight,
should have Imagined ourselves in some cosy Cau
casian home. licre, as elsewhere, we found upon
the shelves and tables all varieties of anti-slavery
' books : Buirmer's speeches, Whittier's poems, Par
ker's sermons, Phillips' orations, etc. Against the
wall bang a magniticent engraving of Mrs. Stowe,
and on the opposite aide a "fell-length portrait of
Frederick Douglass. In a few shinnies the hostess
came in., She talked familiarly with our. guide
while we conversed with the daughter. koy were
neither forward nor embarrassed. The Mira re
plied sourteenaly to inquiries about her music lag
oons and studies. She wee of an olive complexion,
almost white, and had what we conceived to be a
winning address:. The latter was favored by very
mild, dark eyes, and round, white,teeth.
The mether'lvore a white lace cap end n Mask
Bilk dress. We' imagined that the mother and the
diUghfei 'fottqd cob .other's society comfortable

entinaerlition of Wes daughter's good qualities, which
indicated a fondness not altogether unpleasant.

REFLECTIONS RESULTING PROM TIIE BBOVE
OBSERVATIONS,
Wo have spoken -lightly of our Anal visit,
simply that variety may bo 'erased into the
narrative, - for our most sanguine expectations
of the respectability of the colored upper °lessee
were overleaped by their actual condition.
We found, everywhere, good order and good
humor, pride in the oily, love of the State,
and, strange as it may seem,. reverence for
the nation. Few of the families we visited knew
anything of our object; their manner of life, en
we observed it, was not assumed nor coucterfetted.
In fact, we starewdlydoubted that waiver,' notmis•
taken for descendants of Ram, for, iu our visit,
we saw many persons said to be of negro blood,
who, by gsa.light, were identified as whites
;fettling Is more common than to hoar it said, to
general and sweeping terms, that the free colored
people of the' oity are in a miserably degraded
condition .;+ constantly exposed to Meager and cold ;
lazy, having no tendency to improve, no energy,
honesty, industry. Such assertions are, Indeed,

a little, way beyond the common opinion, when . .he

OF WASTCIIZONTAIS
Of the merles eaten the wretched that day wit
nessed; we cannot speak at length. We saw ebony
neg.() lonian, types of the most degraded 11thlolops,
of Amazon tform and more than (manly strength.
Some of .them were &Unit, some tquarreling ; one
was tniseling with two white men, wkom she
seemed to be in a fair way of demolishing, and
many were stupilled with rum and helpless with
dlrrase, .
In ono 'shanty we found a negro regaling himself
with a black bottle of strycheine; and endeavor-;
log, in the pauses of imbibition. to oonviroe two
half drunken mulattoes of the " 'Postolloal" nature
of his church. He gave vent to semi Ingenious
and fearful th eology,
There were negroes in all cooditions of bodily
mutilation. We saw one afflicted with a tumor ,
nearly a font in diameter; one with a glumly Mat
aeries his jaw, Made by an'axe in the heeds of an
enemy; one whore leg was almost &Weep i tem
scalding received when iduplfied with rum; many
one-eyed, same deaf, some entirely blind
In the latter class was a white girl nineteen
years of age, who Wts the mother of four children,
all born out of wedlock, and none of theM white.
She woe entirely blind, and spoke with a heart
broken manner of the agony she bed endured
when her children were taken from her We
ked her where and why they bed been 'removed.
She believed to the alm,heuse--perbaps brought np
to be thieves "God knows," said she at leer,
lookingup to the feathery-clouded sky with blank
and sightless orbs . •
Many of the miserable beings WO Visited Were
partially insane. There was one woman, white se
leprosy, who •had ; sixteen oats.. She bad them
named by all manner of fantastic titles, and every
oat, at her call, eame'up to her feet. gibe spoke
with a singing tone, and occasionally broke out
into bits of muds.
In one yard we found a gray-haired white man,
resting his head in tho lap of k black woman. Ile
seemed to have bewildered down the atairway of
arciserable,tenernent. -
The officer touched him with his foot. •
" I'm 'drunk," said the man, with a leer of idle..
ey : meat) to get some gin."
The officer made a light reply. •
"Go to --," Said the man, grinning. He was
of large frame, and looked as thouh he bad once
been Modem° ; there was somet hing very des&
into In , hie white heirs.
It tilltAlenl to reotpitulaie scenes like these.
Ouroblereatione eonvuseed• us that the white pee
pulationrwee not lege degraded than the negro,
lloth.were wretched beyond all speech—mere ani
mals, without 'hopeti'beyend sensuality; without

♦IEIr TO RR. ROBERT PURVIS
In strange ccntraat to such scones of misery, we
lay before our reede:e the particulars of a Anal
vbilt, attended by more of gentlemanly 'geniality
and evidences of a Most refined taste. ;The object
f
of these remarks Is rota the colored ople. yet
scarcely of th em. We refer to Mr. berePur , n
vls, more widely known than any, ma of color In
America, excepting, perhaps, Frederic Douglass.
Mr. PULP'S has , figured very prominebily, at ran.
dry times, as en anti, slavery orator.. In snob guise
be does not appear to the bent advantage, being
very violent In delivery, and extretnely radical in
sentiment. During the exhitement attendant upon
the John Brown raidi Mr, Purvis excited great
enmity by irreverently, comparing his hero with
the Saviour.. As a pilvate gentleman, however,
Mr. Paula is •pleasant and exeeedinglyinterest.

Bybeqy township, about -twelve miles above the
city proper, and in the 'Dgrenty-third ward.

wealthy broker doing -hominess in Wall street, some
months ago; since that time she has been fro
quently visited by him at the confectionary store,
kept by her grandmother in Myrtle 'avenue. The
grandmother discouraged the attentions that ware
