According to the census of 1880,
there.were, in this country, in 1880,
3,800,000 colored persons, includ
ing Chinese and Indians, under
19 years-of age, while there were
less than 3,000,000 over 19 years
of age. Figuring on that basis,
we find that there are probably
4,200,000 negroes in the country
now under 19 . years of age, and
3,000,000 over 19 years of age.
Those under that age were born
since slavery was abolished. Be
sides, there . are many old-time
free negroes at the south and at
Jh8 ttarjh Ojrreyeiyerefirtf sla
very. And so it appears that a
large majority of the negroes now
living never were in bondage at all
The following from the Wash
ington letter in the Richmond
Dispatch concerns North Caroli
na: "General" Scales, of North
Carolina, has introduced a bill
which provides that the homestead
and personal property exemptions
under the laws of each State shall
not be liable to execution issued
on a judgment obtained on any
claim due the United States, but
said homestead and personal prop
erty exemptions shall be exempt
from all claims, judgments or oth
er liens, and all executions under
the same to the same amount and
to the same extent in all respects
as now recognized in the State
under its Constitution and its
laws.'U 1 : ;

The Fox and the Hen.
"How' big a "brood shall you
have this year,' madam ?" said the
Fox to the Hen, one cold winter
evening in the barn-yard.'- '.
"What's that to you ?" said the
Hen to the Fox. ,
"Supper !" replied the' Fox,
promptly
"Well, I don't know," said the
Hen, in reply; "I may have ten;
but I never count my chickens
before they are hatched."
"Quite right," said the Fox,
"neither do I; and, as a hen in the
present is worth . ten chickens in
the future,' I will eat you now?
So saying, he carried her off.
The next morning the farmer,
seeing the tracks of the fox in the
snow, took his gun and went out
and shot him. "Alas 1" j said ' the
FkHIsh6ti!(rvm!ted for
the ten chickens; there is' no snow
in summer time. In St. Nicholas

, The clergyman in Hebrrm, Coa.,
who fired a Broadside from the
pulpit at one of his members who
was enjoying the felicities of his
fourth ' marriage without having
ever attended the funeral of eith
er his first, second or third, is
likely to be fired out of the pul
pit himself. The aggrieved and
sensitive deacon whose feelings
were hurt by being tailed a polyg
amfst at first moved out . of town
to avoid the notoriety caused by
the plain V preacher's sermon.
While apparently absent; however
he quietly took : a census of the
other: members of the. congrega
tion who were " divorced and of
those who wanted tobe, and, as
these constituted a majority of
the communicants, he has. moved
back and boldly headed a move
ment to procure the dismissal x(

as though the preacher would have
to go. Philadelphia Times.
