TID BIT’S MINSTRELS. “The cheekiest man you ever saw you meet up in New York State?’ said the interlocutor. “Well, Ive met a good many cheeky men, and I’d like to hear your stor).” Romolo took a look at the andi- ence, and after satisfying himself that they didn’t intend mischief, said. “It was a long about Buffalo. A newsboy came throngh the car and I bought a Boffalo paper.” Considerable surprise was ex- pressed that they should have such civilized things as newspapers in Buffalo, but Romolo went on. “There was @ man sitting in the seat with me, and I saw him kind o'look longingly at the paper as he'd like to get the first whack at it. “What’s the news?” he asked. “There ain’t any,’ I said, and I could see that he was more eag- er than ever to got it. “How did the New York-Detroit game come out yesterday?’ he asked. I told him I didn’t know and didn’t care. Then he subsided for atime. I went on reading my paper for twenty minutes, when I felt my coat-sleeve pulled. ““Say, stranger,’ he said, -how much longer are you going to keep ~-that paper? Itold him that was my business, when he turned over one of the pages, and I saw that something had been pasted on” it. What do you suppose that man had put there?” The interlocutor said he had no idea, and said “What did he paste on the paper?” “Well,” said Romolo, “it was a piece of paper like they use on prescription bottles and on it was: AFTER READING THIS PAPER THE PURCHASER IS REQUESTED TO KINDLY HAND IT TO HIS NEIGHBOR. ‘And did you giveit to him then” asked the interlocutor. “No, you may imagine I didn’t. Ilooked all over the car, andI found’ 2 little old sqaint-eyed man who didn’t look as though he could read, and wouldn’t if hecould. I gave it tohim. Then I went back and asked my cheeky neighbor where he was from. He said “Syracase.” ee A JUST PARDON. (Indianapolis World.) Governor Gray, on Tuesday last pardoned from the southern prison algrese Evans, who was sentenc- ed September 4, 1879, by the Vigo Carcuit Ceur:, to imprisonment for a term of 18 years, upon con- viction of manslaughter. The pardon was recommended by the before whom the case was Inge and several of the county officers of Vigo County. Evans was a colored man who got into an altercation with a gypsy over horee trade which ended in Evans stricking the gypsy over the head with a chair. Both were intoxicated. After the assault the gypsy goton his horse and rode toward the y eamp, but before reaching it fell off the horse and died. ere wasa doubt as to wheter death resulted from the blow or the fall. The prisoner be- ing a colored men was prevented from having as favorable a presen- tation of his case as might Lave been, owing to strong prejudices against his race. against the wall JOSEPH §.
