Banishment.
Xj
A. highly intelligent colored man/
the only informed colored man on
the late Grand Jury, was passing
ap Elizabeth street evening before
last, when one of our merchants
halted him, and the following coloqy
ensued:
Merchant. “Charley, I under-
stand you are going to have a poli-
tical meeting at your house to-
night.
Charley. “Yes sah, I spose we
is; jis a little meetin’ of culled ge’-
naen.”
Merchant. “Well, iCharley
should like to go up and make you
a speech, with your permission.”
“Charley. Well sah, I’d jis like
to know on what planet you’s
gwine to speak; tell me dat an’ I’ll
let you know: jis name de planet
you’ll speak on.”
Merchant. I’ll speak on the
planet Venus; how will that suit ?
Charley. (Scratching his wool)
“Well now, dat’s a little ’bove me;
( dussent understan’ zacly; I wants
to nose de planet you prosin to
speak on.”
Merchant. I’ll make you a
speech on the planet Mars, how will
that suit the colored gentlemen ?
Charley. Dar you goes agin,
wea ’bove me. Why can’t you tell
me in plain English on what planet,
on what tickler plank in de planet,
you wants to speak.
An understanding could not be
effected, and so Charley and the
Merchant seperated; one wondering
how “planet” for platform could
have got into a nigger’s head, and
the other wondering who Mars and
Venus could be.

Robbery.
Our neighbor Jo., who keeps the
nice little restaurant, was robbed
yesterday morning, sometime after
midnight, of two gold watches, $150
hard cash, eighteen gold and other
rings, and a gold chain or two.
John Price was put on track. John
smelt freedmen at once and without
much hesitation pounced on the
well known burglars, Charley
Thompson and the notorious Eu-
gene/ John found one watch and
ring which were identified by Jo’s
folks. He also found on the per-
sons of Charley and Eugene, a gold
chain, several rings, two bags of
lode stone and other unidentified
rubbish and luck omens.
These colored worthies were
both drunk at the time of their ar-
rest, and it is to be hoped that the
villains will peach on each other in
due course of manipulation. That
John will finger them through nice-
ly none need doubt. They were
lodged in the military guard house.
Awful.
A hurricane visited Porto Rico
on the 7th inst., destroying 200
lives and leaving 2000 families des-
titute.
Tortola, one of the smaller West
India Islands, was entirely sub-
merged, a portion of the island
washed away, destroying 20,000
lives. Where would Galveston have
been.
The Vicksburg Republican is in
favor of disfranchising all persons
who failed to vote in Mississippi,
or anywhere else, on the convention
question. They’ll get it all nigger
after awhile; until when they will
not be satisfied. “There’s a good
time coming boys,” under radical
rule.
We publish to-day a communica-
tion from one Cruise Carson, touch-
ing his banishment to Mexico by Brig
Gen. McKenzie, commanding sub-
district of the Rio Grande. We
know nothing about the subject
matter, but we hope in all sincerity
that Gen. McKenzie has not arrogat-
ed to himself the power of Banish-
ment. That is a higher power than
any constitutional monarch of earth
possesses. We hope to hear some-
thing further touching the astound-

chusetts saw a great deal in the pa-
pers about National Banks; and
upon going to see her relations in
the city thus delivered herself:
That National Banks she always
thought would be a big man, that
she knew him when a boy, but that
they called him Nat. Banks then.”
She said he was just seven days
younger than her son Henry, but
Henry always could handle him.
The old lady will dnnht.leH« go to

National Banks and Nat. Banks are

The Italian, Romish, Papal ques-
tion threatens to drag all Europe
into a sort of family quarrel. It is
hard telling what religion canot ef-
fect on the earth. We sometimes
think its mission is to make “blood
thicker than water."
One of our radical neighbors upon
hearing.tbatNew York had gone 46,-
000 democratic fainted, and when the
St. Mary brought the correct returns,
52,000! he took a fit, under the
delusion that the world was coming
to an end.
Just so true as we live the San
Antonio Herald is- after grasshop-

newspaper so persistently on the
track of grasshoppers as that same
Herald. The editor says they ex-

have they not had grasshoppers at

Patriotism used to be devotion
to one’s country. As now practiced
it consists in working hard to dis-

Gen. Jo. Gomila, pursering on

us no more papers if we ever thank

we’ll thank you just as often as we
