ttara fiMtpter. Massachusetts Negro Legislators. The public were astonished in Novem? ber by tho announcement that two full - blood negroes had been elected to the Massachusetts Legislature. This body has -convened, and the most notablo per? sonages are the colored individuals afore Vsaid. A correspondent of the Now York Times, an enthusiastic negropholist, thus describes the two now "colored members:" Edward Garrison "Walker, by far the most ablo man of the two, was nomina? ted by tho Republicans of "Ward Three, in Charlestown, but on election day the men of that party in that city failed to support him. At 2 o'clock in the after? noon of election day, it became apparent that ho would not bo elected. Tho polls closed at 4 o'clock, and ho needed about fifty votes to place him among the chosen at 4 o'clock, and those fifty votes were cast by members of tho Democratic par ? ty, which insured his election. He is a lawyer of considerable ability, has an extensive practice in Charlestown and in Boston, and is extremely popular as a ? man and an orator in the first named city. Ho evinced a warm interest in tho Fenian cause last June, which, doubtless, gained him the Democratic votes. It is stated that the latter party did as much toward his election as the Republicans, though ho has always been identified with and an exponent of the principles of ' tho latter. Mr. Walker is a son of that Walker who more than thirty years ago caused such an overwhelming excitement Bia Charleston, South Carolina, by a pam ? phlet distinguished in the annals of anti slavery warfare, and his son has been en? abled to create a somewhat similar ex? citement in Charlestown, Massachusetts, by being chosen a legislator. It was thought that his nomination was not made in good faith by tho Republicans, and that his chances of obtaining a seat in tho halls of legislation were slim, and the astonishment and excitement on the evening when his election was declared was groat. He has studied well into the great questions appertaining to our na? tional welfare, is well informed oh all questions discussed at this day, and as an orator he will have few equals in the Honso. His arguments are clear, concise and conclusive, and at one time during tho campaign of 1865 I saw him in a cau? cus in Charlestown deliver a speech that . completely humiliated one of the most I>rominent politicians of that city. The atter accused a delegation (of which j . Walker was a member) of not doing their j duty in a Convention to which they were sont, and Walker, in a short speech, cow? ered him so completely that tho politi? cian was forced to beg his pardon before the assemblage. A brilliant future is predioted for Mr. Walkor by his friends, who hope to soe him in the Gubornatori al chair or in Congress, and his ehances for oither are good if ho serves with cred? it bis present term in the House, as he has become extromoly popular, more es? pecially since his olection. Charles L. Mitchell, tho colorod representative from Ward Six, Boston, is a print?r by trade, and a worthy, intelligent man, but is not - by any means so well qualified for his po? sition as Mr. Walkor. The last named represents the people irrespective of col? or, but the former was sent to appear for tho colored population of his ward, and was not sent on his individual merits, but rather to represent a minority of the . party in that soction of tho city. Tho colored men in that ward are numerous, and havo long desired a represontative.but havo hcretoforo always been divided -on ? tho fitness of throe or four of their num? ber for tho position, and consequently have not succeeded in electing anybody. This time their wandering and divided opinions wore, it sooms, concentrated? thoy havo been "reconstructed"?hence tho result. Until his nomination Mitch? ell was not goncrally known in tho city. 1T.Q was for many years an employee in , tne office of tho Liberator, and during the war enlisted as a private in the fifty-fifth JMassachusets regiment. Ho was rapidly promoted for bravery and good conduct, . and was ono of tho very fow men who servod in Massachusetts colored regi monts who received a commission as lieu? tenant. His frionds claim that ho will make a good representative, but time will show whether or not they are right. These two men could not have taken their seats at a period more favorable for them than the present. The House is made up almost exclusively of thoir friends, by whom they were warmly wel? comed. -,-o Gossip with Contribitobs.?No notis will be took?from this date hereafter wards?ov letters that hain't got a post? age stamp onto them.

Josn Billings, j Southern Apathy. An "officer of high rank and eminent distinction," who has recently made a leisurely tour of the Southern States, ex-' presses himself as follows in regard to the tone and temper of the Southern people, through the columns of a New York pa? per: The Southern politicians may be as a whole placid enough in their tempor and tone. The Southern newspapers as a general thing may be temperate enough in their utterances. The Southern Leg? islatures may have expressed their deep desire for peace, quiet and conciliation. But neither the politicians, the journal? ists, nor tho legislative bodies give a rep? resentation of the all-absorbing and inex? pressible desire that exists among the great body of the Southern people?the planters, the townspeople, the traders, &c.?for relief from political turmoil and excitement. They hare little care about the terms of reconstruction that may be offered them, or tho political forcos that their Northern conquerors may impose upon them. If they have a desire at all that the old order of things may be re newed, as far as possible, it is mainly because the prc-revolutionary or pre Confedorate customs and traditions have still a hold upon them. But if it be the determination of the North to reduce the once proud and poworful States of the South to a territorial condition, or to gov? ern thorn by military power exclusively, the bulk of the conquered people will receive the knowledge of the fact with something very liko entire unconcern, and will succumb with only tho feeblest of protests. Nay, if the Congress at Wash? ington were to decree an entire change of government, and to proclaim a regal or imperial ordor of things for tho South, the dispirited people would passively, at least, recognize the Emperor, and would make not even a show of resistance to the force which they have already ac? knowledged to be supreme ovor them. The fact is, in brief, that they are thor? oughly disgusted with politics, politicians and all tho political pretensions and pre? tenders which have wrought them out such grievous ruin, and they look round upon their desolated country and their blasted prospects?as they see the weeds growing over the graves where the flower of Southern youth and chivalry lies, sleeping?as they feel the deep oppres? sion of ruined hopes and broken hearts? their cry in weariness and despair of bouI, as formerly they cried angrily and defi? antly, "let us alono." ? ? ?? ? ? ? Accidents of Speech, Pat has long labored under the imputa? tion of making more "accidents" with the tongue than any of his fellow-mortalB; but it can bo very readily shown that tho "bull" is not necessarily indigenous to Irish soil. A Frenchman, named Gallon, who died in Paris not many years ago, was re? markable for a bovine tondoncy. There is a letter of his in existence as follows: "My dear friend?I left my knife at your lodgings yesterday. Pray sond it to mo if you find it. Yours, Calino. P. S.? Never mind sending tho knife; I have found it." There is a note to his wife, which ho sont home with a basket of provisions, the postcript to which read: "You will find my lettor at the bottom of tho basket. If you should fail to do bo, let me know as soon as possible." i It is said of this same character that on one ocoasion he took a lighted taper to find his way down stairs without acci? dent, and after gotting down brought it baok with thanks, loaving himselt at the top of the stairs in the dark as at first. A lady onco asked tho Abbe de Matig non how old she was. "Why, I am only thirty-two," said ho, "but I count myself thirty-three, because a little boy was born a year beforo I was and died, ovidontly keeping mo back a wholo year by acci? dent." It was a Scotchman who said that the butcher of her town only killed half a boast at a time. It was a Dutch? man who said a pig had no earmarks ox cepfc a short tail; and it was a British magistrate who, being told by a vagabond that he was not married, responded: "That's a good thing for j'our wife." At a prayer meeting in New Hamp? shire, a worthy layman spoke of a poor boy whose father was a drunkard ana\ whose mother was a widow. At a negro ball, in lieu of "Not trans? ferable," on the tickets, a notice was post? ed over tho door, "No gentleman admit? ted unless he comes hisself." An American lecturer of note solemnly said one evening: Parents, you may have children, or, if you have not, your daugh? ters may have. A Maine editor says a pumpkin in that state grew so large that eight men could stand around it; which statement was only equaled by that of the hoosier who saw a flock of pigeons fly so low that ho could shake a stick at them. Those two observing men, one of them said that he always noticed when he lived throuahf.the month of May he lived throUguflihe year, and the other of whom said at a wedding that more women than men had been married that year, were neither of them Irishmen. ? An authoroBS compares a man to a silk umbrella, in these quaint terms: "A good man is like a strong silken umbrella ;?trustworthy and a shelter when tho storms of life pour down upon us. A mere walking stick when the sun shines A friend in misfortune." ? The "heart" is the best card in the chance game of matrimony, sometiraos overcome by diamonds and knaves, often won by tricks, and occasionally treated in a shuffling manner, and then cut altogeth? er. ? "Teddy, my boy, jist guess how ma? ny cheeses there are in this ere bag, and faith I'll give you the whole five." "Five to be suro." "Arrah, by my soul! bad luck to the man who told yor." ? There is one advantage in being a blockhead, you are never attacked with Jow spirits or apoplexy. The moment a man can worry, he ceaseB to be a fool. ?An editor describing a lecture to the fair sex, exclaimed, with enthusiasm, "three thousand ladies hanging on tho MpB of a single man I" ONLY A DREAM. BT A. J. BEGCISB. By the lake, beyond the meadow, Where the lilies Wow? As the young moon dipt and lifted Her reflected bow!? Lired and diixl a dream of beauty, Many yeavs ago. Sometb;ng made tho milk white blossoms Even whiter grow; Something gave the dying sunset An intenser glow; And enriohed tho cup of rapture, Filled to overflow. Hope was frail, and Passion fleeting? It is often so; Visions born of golden sunsets, With the sunsets go; To have loved is to have suffered Martyrdom below. By the lake, beyond the meadow, Where the lilies blow? Oh I the glory there that porished, None shall evor know? When a human heart was broken, Many years ago. ? o "Woman and Marriage.?I havo spec? ulated a groat deal on matrimony. I have seen young and beautiful; women, the pride of gay circles, married, as tho world says, well. Somo moved into their costly houses, and their friends havo all come and looked at their furniture and thoir splendid homo for happiness, and havo gone away and committed them to their sunny hopes cheerfully and with? out fear. It is natural to be sanguine for them, as tho young are carried away with similar footings I love to get, un observed, in a corner, and watch tho brido in her whito attire, and with her smiling face and soft eyes meeting mo in the pride of life, weave a waking dream of future happiness, and persuade myself it will bo true. I think how they will sit upon tho luxurious Bofa as the twilight falls, and'build gay hopes and murmur in low tones the not now forbidden tender? ness; and how thrillingly the allowed kiss 3nd beautiful endoarmonts of the wedded life will make oven their parting joyous, and how gladly they will como back from the crowded and empty mirth of the day to each other's quiet company. I picture to myself that young creature who blushes oven now at his hesitating caress, listening eagerly for his footsteps as the night steals on, wishing ho would come, and when he onters at last, and with an affection as undying as his pulse, folds her to bis bosom, 1 can feel the tide J that goes flowing through tho heart, and gaze with him on tho graceful form as sho moves about for tho kind offices of affection, soothing all his unquiet cares, and making him forget even himself in her young and unshadowed boauty. I go forward for yoars and geo hor luxuri? ant hair put soberly away from her brow; and her girlish graces resigned into dig? nity, and loveliness chastened with tho gentlo meekness of maternal affection. Her husband looks on with a proud eye, and shows tho same fervent lovo and del? icate attentions which first won her ; and her fair children aro grown about thorn, and they go on, full of honor and untrou? bled years, and are romembered when thoy dio. ? Lost by not Taking a Country Pater. ?Generally speaking but little impor? tance is attached to tho taking of a coun? try newspaper. This neglect and indif? ference had its practical reward the other day. Somo timo ago a gentleman in this town was appointod auditor to distribute the funds in the hands of an administra? tor amongst tho creditors. Notice of tho auditor was published in two of the coun? ty papers. It so happened, that a fow creditors residing in a certain portion of the coun? ty who had collectively claims to the amount of seven or eight hundred dollars, from tho neglect of taking a county pa? per novor heard of tho audit until after the report of the auditor had been con? firmed by tho court. Thoy then came into town to enquire about the likelihood of securing their claims; called upon an attorney who examined into tho matter, and informed them that thoy had forever lost their money, and we prosumo charged thorn five dollars for the information. All this resulted in being too penurious, too careless to subscribe for a country paper. These gontlemon have learned a lesson that will last thorn tho balance of thoir lives, and serve as a warning to others who from tho same motives fail to take their county paper. Thoro i3 scarcely a man in tho commu? nity who will not bo caught up somo day on a legal notice, that does not take a paper, unless he clandestically roads his neighbor's, and every gentleman should bo above litorary pilfering like this?so says an exchange. A Good Story.?A friend at a town down in tho country, somowhere noar Bowling Green, tolls tho following: A short timo ago a couple of medical stu? dents disintorred a subject a short dis? tance from town, dressed it, sitting up? right on tho seat of a covered wagon, and started for home. Coming to a tavern and seeing the bar-room lighted up they left the wagon, and went in for a drink. The hostler observing the man sitting alono in tho cold, attempted some conver? sation, but receiving no answer, he dis? covered how the affair stood, and instant? ly resolved to have a little fun of his own on tho occasion. So taking the corpse to tho stable, he put on its overcoat and cap, and seated himself in the wagon. The students soon returned, and took their ?jats by tho side of the supposed dead man, when one of thom, in merriment, gave him a slap in the face, saying: "How would you like some flip, old fel? low ?" then remarked tromuously, to his companion, "Ho is warm, by heavens!" "So would you be," replied tho corpse, "if you had been stolen from hell, as I have been!" Both students bolted, and never re? turned to inquire for the horse and wagon, which was brought into town next day, when tho joke came out.?Louisville Courier. -? ?
