"Colonel" Bue^ Q? tb? Bl?c!t ?nd Taa.
Ara-"Captain J?nk$, of the Horee Marines."
I'm ..Colonel" Back of the Black ana Tan
I want to be a Congressman:
I pay my debts on my own plan,
Like all my swindling party!
I cheat the negroes of their cash,
Of their cash-of their oash,
I cheat the negroes of their cash,
Like all the radical party. ,
[SPOKEN.]-For didn't I buy a plantation on
Dog River-5,000 acres,"" you knowl-and
raise a fino crop of Turpentine? And 'then
didn't I say to the oolored boys who worked
. for me-Oh, nol gentlemen, I won't pay you
now, you know-but yg? Bhall have your
money whenever-you cab get itt Of courao,
you shall, for don't you know
I'm '?Coloner.Buok of the'Black and Tan,
Twant to beatf?r Congress-MANX!
But I'm afraid I never can,
Because I choated thc darkie.
I don't know much about thia State,
Because I got my larnin' late
But like tho Blacks lowe-I'll wait
And go when I'm oleeted. '
I'll get tho Griffin to blow for me.
Blow for me-blow for mo,
I'll get the Griffin to blow for me.
And go when I'm elected
[SroKEN.]-For didn't I swindle my colored
brother at Dog River, and didn't tho Griffin
swindlo tho Colored Orphans at Mobile! My
paper ain't worth nothing in the market,
and his paper's worth nearly as much. Ain't
the Buck a beaBt? and ain't the Griffin a
boast? and ain't wo brothers? I gueaa we
are! and I guess
I'm "Colonel" Buck of tho Black and Tan,
I want to beat for Congress-MANS!
But I'm afraid I nover can.
Because I swindled the darkie
I'm a Buck with nary a horn, you sec,
A MANN must beat a beast like mc
And in my car he'll put a ilea,
And they'll kick mo out of thc party!
I'm all done up if I don't win
I don't win-I don't win!
I'm all dono up if I don't win,
And thoy'll kick mo out of tho party
ISroKEN.]-Just think of that! I'vo sold my
Belf to tho devil for Dog River turpentine
and now they'll kick me out! What! kiel
me outl Tell mo to pack my carpet-bag, aix
get a through ticket to Boating! I'll say t<
them-Gentlemen! perhaps yon aro no
awaro that
I'm "Colonel" Buck of tho Black and Tan,
I want to beat for Congress-MANS!
But I'm afraid I never can,
Because I swindled the darkie.
A correspondent of the New York He
raid thus describes tho President's visi
to Long Brunch:
The President is still here, but ha
done nothing of any great importune
since yesterday. After his drive in th
afternoon, he dined, and then, in com
pany with ex-Secretary Borie, Postmat
ter-Goneral Cresswell and General Con:
stock, he sought the shelter of one c
the summer houses overlooking the sei
where a conversation was bad regardin
the depth of water, the distance of
ship in the offing, and tho reason wh
the curl of a breaker was white, ant
after breaking, became like sonp-sudi
Comstock, the engineer, answered th
latter, because scientific; Borie settle
the.ship -question, because of being a
ancient mariner; and Cresswell did tb
soundings, by reason of being a man <
great depth of thought. The Presidei
listened with evident interest, smoke
his cigar, and said nothing; lie seldoi
does.. But the disenssion, or explanatio
rather,, in to rcs ted him. I could seo tin
by the way ho looked at the horizon ?
intensely. At last another person joinc
the party, and the President tnrnod 1
him, and said: "I say,-, how old
that colt of yours?" The answer wi
prompt. "How old do you think'
"About eighteen," said his Excellency
and then both broke into a laugh, as*
something good had been perpetrate
After two or three persons had been pr
seated, the number of lookers-on beean
too great for comfort and quiet, and
walk up the beach was proposed at
agreed upon, and in a short time tin
were off, tho President being betwe<
Comstock and Cresswell, while Bor
brought up tho rear, on a trot, the otbe
being rather too fast for him. Of cour
I could not follow; hence, I am unab
to record what was said. Doubtless
was interesting and amusing, for Gra
is very funny, they say, when amoi
those with whom ho converses freely ai
without restraint, and can get off a jo.
in au exceedingly quiet way, 'tis rumc
ed, equal almost to tho lute lament
President Lincoln.
In the evening, I was seated on tl
porch, listening to tho music in tl
drawing-room and watching tho dancei
when a very dark darkey passed me. ]
the light of the moon, for it was shinii
brightly, he appeared to be a very di
pidate son of Africa. His left arm w
not-there was nothing left but t
sleeve of a very shabby coat; and I wo
der^d if that arm had been parted wi
in crushing the rebellion, or had be
lost in a corn husking machine. Tho li
ter I thought most probablo. Sudtler
tho idea struck mo t hat this subie iu<
vidual had not called for tho purpose
securing tho position of bootblack
that of under-dishwasher, but that
hud come to pay his respects to Iiis iii
and consistent friend, the President,
could not resist following him, and a
reached the offioe, Sambo was by i
side, and, without removing his hat,
loaned over and addressed tho clerk
follows:
"I want to see do President."
Tho clerk blandly replied "Thore
is, sir," pointing to a grey-haired gonl
man standing in tho doorway.
The darkey moved in tho direction
dicated, but found the person not 1
President he wanted. Nothing dan
cd, ho returned, and repeated his
quest:
"I waut to see de President-3
Grant."
This time the clerk tras not so bland.
He requested the darkey to leave, and
roached down-if to pick np a club or
not I don't know, bnt darkey took the
hint and moved off; and meeting Mr. J.
Stetson, he pushed his request in that
quarter, but was informed that his Ex?
cellency was engaged at present, and
would probably BOO him shortly. Sambo
was determined, however, and got hold
of two gentlemen who evidently espoused
his cause, nud I waited to see what would
turn np. It was but a few moments be?
fore the President appeared, returning
from bis up-the-beach walk, aud as he
entered the hotel, where he wns at once
surrounded by half a dozen, who were
evidently waiting for him, he was point?
ed out to our colored friend, who was at
once urged by the two gentlemen to go
up and present himself. Sambo moved
towards tho compaq' with au air of de?
termination, but his spirit failed him as
he reached the outer circle; he dare not
break the ring; and informed us after?
wards that he was "gwino to push froo,
but somehow or noder ho fraught it best
to wait a more (ittiu 'casiou." Wo re?
gretted tho darkey's want of decision of
character, for we wished to see if Long
Branch would not, in a few days after
tho interview, have been able to boast of
having a colored postmaster. This would
have been tho most likely office, ns the
Postmaster-General was of tho party.
TYPE-SI?:E AND NAME.-Tho largest
metal types now cast are ten line pica,
which is tho standard sizo type, and is
one-sixth of an inch long. Smaller than
this come) small pica, long primer, bour?
geois, brevier, minion, nonpareil, agate,
pearl, diamond and brilliant. Pica is
known by the French as Cicero, because
his works were first set up in this type.
The next largest, English, is for the same
reason known ns St. Augustine. Brevier
was first known in printing breviaries.
Minion was so called because it was the
smallest typo then known; nonpareil, be?
cause tho maker thought it could not be
equalled. Pearl was tho production of
an ambitious die-cutter. Diamond was
cast in a Baltimore foundery; and lastly,
brilliant, in which it takes'4,000 of the
letter to mako a pound, and which is bul
a twentieth of nu inch long, is the pro
duction of a type-cutter in Berlin. It is
said, however, that there is Prussian mi
crosoope type, smaller than this, whicl
has never been brought to this country,
Wo hope it never mey be.
INGENIOUS INVENTION BY. A VIRGINIAN
A most ingenous piece of mechanism ha
been completed and patented by Mr. B
W Ogburu, of Mecklenburg, Va. It ii
scales which, iu weighing seventeen am
a half pounds sugar nt sixteen cents i
pound, points out what tho sugar conic:
to. So of any article or auy number o
pounds, or any price.
The pastor of a popular church a
Terre Haute, preached tho funeTal sei
mon of a child. An unusually larg
audience was present, and tho preachc
began by saying: "My friends, I ar
pleased to see so many of you out on thi
occasion." Noticing the blunder ho ha<
made, he added: "Pensively pleased,
mean."
