The following letter to a New York firm is full of fuu and explains itself: High Point, N. C., Sept. 22, ’77. Meurt Jo nil ill, Smith it Co : Gents:—Replying to your* of the 18th mat, I hav. to say, that for the prospect of having claims placed in my hands to collect, in this vicinity, and nothing more, I do not fee! willing to re port the “standing” of the party men* tinned, or of any one else. I do not wish to be misunderstood as saying 1 do not know that a lawyer would starve tf, on coifiptimiomr nnd fee* mt a ca- The January. I have had some experience in collect ing since the war, or rather, in trying to collect. I have offered to comp claims by taking old clothes, froten cab huge, circus tickets, patent mediriue, whet atones, powder horns, old flour btr rels, gourd*, coon skins, jay birds, owls, or almost anything, and yet I have * nubmer of old claims on hand unsettled If I were to depend on collecting claims for my living, my beau broth would get so thin that it would rattle in me like pot liquor in a poor dog. I don’t want to shoot at long taw, but if you are inclined to pay anything cer- tain for the desired reports, I’m your man; say ten dollars cash, then I'm in. or if money is scaroe, I would take (hoes, large Nos say 10s, Hr, and 12s, to the amount of ten dollars st whol*. rale prices. It's hard times here—the niggers snd the Democrats have pulled and worried each other till this country amrlls like cheese. How in the world would you collect money nut of * people who plow little speckled bulls oo hill sides? If you were to see a nigger plowing his garden with a sow, yon would not won der why I don't want claims to collect in this vicinity. Your sincere friend, J. K. Bulla. A Bird Mory. A carious incident is related of nary bird by a Georgia paper, door of the bird’s otge wss occasionally left open that he might enjoy th* free dom of the room.

Stepping back a few incites from the glass, he poured fourth his sweetest notes, pausing now and then for x reply. None name, and moody and dispirited he flew back to his pearch, hanging his bead in shame aud silence for the day, and alfl ougb the door was repeatedly left open, he refused to cemc out again.
