From some complaints made by mv Negroes, that thev had not a sufficient allows nee of meal, and from a willingness that they should have enough, the quantity was increased by Mr. Whiting so as to amount (bv what I have learnt from Mr. Stuart) to profusion. This is an error again on the other fid. My wiah and desire is that they should have as much as they can eat without waste and no more. . . . I always used to lay in a giear quantity of Fith for thorn, and when ve w re at home meat, fat A other things weiv now and then given to them besides; But it would 8rteni(from their accounts at least) that tho Fish which were laid in for them last Spring have disap peared without their deriving "much benefit from them.

Wns-hintrton (her aunt)" she mentions, that Mm-p I eft Mount Vemon she has given out four do.'n and eight bottles of wine. Whether they -are need, or not, she does not say; but I am load bv it to observe, that it is not my inten tion that it should be given to every one who may incline to make a conven ience' of the house in travelling ; or who may le induced to visit it from motives of curiosity. There are three descriptions of people to whom I think it ought to be given; first, my partic ular and intimate acquaintance, in case busi ness should call them there, such for instance as Doctr. Craik. 2dly, some of the most re spectable 'fercignors who may, perchance, be in Alexandria or the federal Citv, and be either brought down, or introduced' by letter from sorao of my particular acquaintance aa before mentioned ; or thirdly, to persona of some distinction (such as members of Congress Acs) who may be travelling through the country from North to South or from South to North. Uulena some caution of this sort governs, I should be ran to an- expence as improper as it would be considerable. . . . Feb. 22, 1795. . . . Mr. Pearse Bailey may be informed that I never lower my price of land; it is infinitely more likely that it will be encreased than to stand even at what it has been offered for This he might reasonably expect, as landed proper ty is rising fast ia value every where, from the number of emigrants, A others who are want ing to vest their money In that species of prop erty. ...

Nathan has been suspected, if not detected, in an attompt of this sort formerly, A is as likely as -.:y one to be guilty of it now. Poe tilion Toe has been caught in similar practices; and Sam 1 am sure would not be restrained hy any qualms of conscience. "tth June, 179a . . .

Prentice Mulford iu San Francisco Chronicle. About the extreme east-end villages of Long Island arc located these scmi-Indiau and Negro settl.iiunr. The men fish, hunt and dig clams. The women keep house and go out to day's service at washing or nursing. If they leave their homes permanently tho men become cooks, waiters or hostlers, and the women similarly go to service in white households. They are very independent in spirit, want com paratively little, are Judges of good living, will use with a mot liberal hand the butter in their employer's household, and are economic in the uso of the same article at home. The Long Island darkey as a rule would work for the whito buin only when compelled to by neces sity. He preferred to live iu his cabin, get up when be pleased, go as he pleaitad, fish, shoot ducks, dig clams nud peddle the spoils he gathered from the sua, the shore and the woods. He was beloved and much sought after bv the small white bov. The urchin onca in the negro's ooofidiutce, learned from him where and now best to fish, to trap for quail, or to look for snipe in the season. For the white man's son, up to a cer tain age, the negro was an oracle ana a leader. In my boyhood days the negro boy was the most influential person of our crowd so long as we remained mere boya, devoted to the wooda, bird's nesting, amateur juvenile shooting, fish ing, trapping, skating, sliding down hill in win ter, ana the manufacture of whistles out of green willow twigs in summer. But on arriv ing at the era of stand-up collars, tight boots, oiled hair, gaudy neckties, amateur attempts at shaving, or going home from evening prayer meeting with the girls, and the first serious thoughts of matrimony, that "black boy" was discarded, and his prestige was gone forever.

Peck's Sun. One of the city papers published a list of questions that are to be propounded to appli cants, a few days ago, and tho reading of the questions has struck terror to tho hearts of ome of the letter carriora. naif a dozen of them were seated at a round table at the rooms of the Y'onng Men's " Bensvolout Two for-five-cents asMciation, a few evenings since, enter taining one of The Snn's angels unawares, when tho matter of clvil-serice reform came up. One of the letter carriers who has been ou the foroo for ten years, and uever missed a letter, said: "Linteu k thin boys: 'The ownership of a vo.-4Hel was divided as follows: A owned 3-32, B 7 S as much as A, C 4 times as much as B, I) 1 -fi as much as C, and E all the rest What was the phare of each?' Now that is one of tho questions we have got to answer before we can be Accepted as letter carriers. By Jingo, I don't know any more about a vessel than a Hindoo. I might take a slate and pened and ilure until Chcycnno froze over, and I couldn't tell how much was the share of each one of tho-io vessel owners. My idea would be for the iiwborn to play a game of seven-up to see who had the whole craft A school hoy that is stndving vulgar fractions might figure it out and heat me out of my position, but what would he k:iow about delivering letters di rected in the Norwegian language, with pale ink. You can't fool me ou auy letter that be longs iu mv dihtriet I can find every man, wor.iun anil child, aud when they move out of the district I know where they go, and they got tlicir letters before- they get the carpets down, but that dividing a schooner up into sixteenths is ahead of my time. Well, if. they put a ves sel ftharp into my place I csn take hi washing." "Iloro, boys, take off your hats, and snug up close together," said a letter carrier, the elbow of whose gray pants had been torn out by a west bido dog as he was coming out of a yard, "while I read you this conundrum: 'A gold smith melts together 12 ounces of gold 22 karat fine, 1"0 onnces 20 karats fine, aud 24 ounces 14 karats line. He sold it at the rate of ltl per ouuoe of pure gold (24 karats fine). What was its liuenoss, auda what was the amount received?' There's one that wilt make you sick. What has a letter carrier to do with melting gold and mixing it up. I don't believe there is a jeweler ia this town that could fig ure that out If the question was, If .a let ter carrier receives $W a month, half of it in greenbacks and half in bob tail silver dollars, aud pays three assessments for campaign expenses, and has to buy a gray uniform, and is sick a week and is docked, how much will he have left to. buy liver- and cod- . r X t l f . nan, i couiu ngure it uown to an am pice in uij head, and never touch a slate and pencil. But this fonrteen carat and twenty-two carat gold business, melted up in a tin dipper, knocks tht stuffing out of me, and when the -civil-service reform asks me to whack up pn that riddl they can hire a jewelry auctioneer to take my place and get out .of .door yards ahead of dogs, aud I will post him on where the folks in my district live, and I will get a job mauling mules ou a street car, . You hear me I" "O, j'ou fellows haven't got any heads for mathematics," said a little fellow with his letter sack slang over his shoulder. "Those two questions you have read are easy enough, but let your intellect take a side-hold with this Mnldoon that I am going to read to yon: 'What is the value of oWO sheets of copper weighing 20 ounces avodupois per square foot, meas uring 48 inches long by 15 inches wide, aud worth 4)130 per ton of 2,20 pounds' Eh!

Joaqulu Stiller on Longfellow. Cleveland Herald. A correspondent relates the following Inci dent of an occasion when he was Bent to inter view Joaquin Miller as to his opinions of Long fellow's "Morituri Salutamus," just after its publication. Millar said: "My opinion of Longfellow's last pooml Good God, boy ! I wouldn't if I could. The idea of a man of my age, position and ability sitting in Judgment upon Longfellow one of the grand old gods ! It s impossible. Why, mv dear fellow, I have no education, no culture. I am not a man to judge of literary work. I read no book. I have no books. Here are my tools," and he took a dozen sheets of paper from his pocket and a quill pen. ."And here is my workshop," and he pointed through the open window. "I love Longfellow too well to at tempt to criticise him. When I was in London I assisted in founding a Longfellow clnb.

"I haven't read it," The Finishing: Toaeh. "J. EL H." in San Francisco Chronicle. When Sardou was writing the Bona Viliageoia he intended one role for Pradeau,then tho best ow comedian of the French stage. But in the middle of the fourth act he "ran up against a stump," so to speak, and was for a long time unable to finish his work. The play at this point was in the very midst of a most pathetic scene, and if tho comedian was permitted full sway not only would the dramatic effect be de frayed but the audience would bo badly treated. M. Sardou was worrying over this act one morn ing when Pradoau himself entered. Ho looked more joyous than ever, and his great big month was wide open to let escape the smiles which grinned all over him. He nad just come from the conservatoire, where his son had won a prize on some sort of an instrument While he was telling Sardou of it his face and bearing assumed a paternal tenderness so strange and touching that the dramatist interrupted him with, "Ah, here is a coup de theatre for the fourth act;" and he at once set to work to create a scene where only tears and loving -words should be seen and heard from one al ways ga!y, and who should now make the audi ence cry instead of laugh. The actor, without knowing it, had suggested the finishing touch to the author's work. A 51nrh MlHuned Word. Mary H. Krout in Crawfordeville Journal. The intelligent woman the other day ex pressed her opinion upon the ancient custom that yet obtains among a few obscure country papers of calling a woman a female. The term, she insists, is a technical one and should be left to the exclusive use of physiologists snd zoologists. It took writers a long time to come to a realizing seas of its unfitness when ap plied te individuals of feminine gender. Noth ing looks queerer now than those goody-goody little books that were written by presidents of "female" boarding schools, and bloodless pa.t tors of struggling parishes wherein the "fe male" element was a silent majoritv. The sub jects were Female Piety, Female Modesty, Fe male Meekness, The Virtues Most to be Ad mired in tb True Female, as if the omnipotent Creator recognized two sepa rate sets of moralities, one to be appropri ated by the "male," and the other to be worn in meekness and humility by the "female" por tion of humanity. The bible says that God in the beinning created man in his own image, "male and female created he them" specify ing the two sexes according to their two kinds,, but not using the terms aa names. Sarah Jo sephs Hate probably did more than any other one person to abolish the misuses of the word. The floods of trash which the old Oodey'a Lady's Book used to let loose upon the coun try may.be excused in a measure, since it let no opportunity pass to criticise and ridicule the writers of "female" literature Nobody heart of male boarding schools or male acade mies.
