EXTRAT ..
I coisider it my duty to advise the
Government that-a person named Millan,
a nat've of Uhili, resident in Lima, hs
departed for the United States with the
object of coutracting for two thousand
families .of negroes for this country. The
intention.of the party or parties interest
ed is I.o give the speculation the color.
ing of free colonization in that couitry,
but here the negroes are to , be sold in
the same manner as - the.Chinese eoolies
for the term of eight years for the sum
of $375 each, under the pretext of re.
inunerating the speculator for'passage
and advance money; the negroes to re
ceive Auring the eighs! years twenty
five cents in Bolivian ourrency daily,
equal to thirty-three and one-third per
cent. less in hIrd raonefo There' is no
neceslty for me to. en'tmwati or depibt
the horrid cruelties and sufferings and il
treatment inflicted. upon the Chinese
laborers, and which would be the fate of
the deluded people brought lre under
this contract' if permitted' to'be carried
out by otr Government. * * * * I
141 only add that th 'greater:pIt of
the negroes are' alread7 contract6d to

Pete Whetstone, of ArkanBas, Was
once traveling og hbrseback throigh
the' interior of the State, and called
oni evening, to stay all night, at a lit
tje log house neai the road, where en '
4trtainment and post-office were kept.
Two other stringeri were there and
mail idor rode up just about dark.
Supper being over, the mail carrier
and the three'gentlemen *ere invited
into a small room furnished with a
good fire and two beds, which were to
accommodate' the four persons for the
night. The iail carrier wag a little
shabby, dirty-looking wretch, with
wiom n'ene of the gettlemen liked 'the
idea o sleeping. Pete 'Whetstone
eyed.him closely atthe asked:
"WVhere do you sleep to-night, my
lad 1"
"I'll thleep with you, I reckon,
lsped th'e youth, "or one -of them
other fellpro, I don't care which."
The other two geutlemen took the
hint, and oocu?ied one of the beds I*
ether immediately, leaving the other
ed and the confab to be enjoyed by
Pete and the mail boy togetheIr as
best they could; Pete and the boy
commenced hauling offtheir duds, and
Pete getting in bed first, and wishing
to get rid of sleeping. with the boy,
remaiked very earnestly
"My friend, Ill tell you beforehand
I've got the itcl , and you?d better not
get in here with me, for the disease it
catching."
The boy, who was just getting in
bed too, drawled out very- ooolly
."4Wol,I reckon that don't make a
bit o' differenc6. I have it now these
seven yeas," and into the bed le
pitched.a'1ojg *ith Pete, who pltohe#4
.out in as great a hurry as if he had
waked up' a hornet's nest in b6d."*
The other gentlemen roaiel a
the mail by, who had got ;.peacetk
possession of th6 bed to himbelf dn -t
ed out- -
'Why, yoi must be a thdt ' dai-ned
fools; mam and dad's got th 1 onth. a.
heap wurth than I is, atid they theip
in.that bed last night when they were
here at the quiltin."
The other two strangerai"Were now
in a worse predicament thVV Pete had
been, and, bouncing froitheir nest
like the old house had bedi on fire,
stripped, shook their . oldthes, plit
them on 6gai, ordbred tliAr horses,
and, though it was nearly u o'clock,
they all three-left and role sevefalt
miles to the next town befbre they
slept, leaving the Imparttbable mail
carrier to tle:blias of scratching and
sleeping alone.
