The negroes have also had one experience common to all freed people. A t first there was a violent reaction against everything that belonged to slave times; they carefully discarded, the most trifling customs which might serve to imply a slave origin. B y and, by, w h e n t h e i r f r e e d o m w a s an a s s u r e d thing andtaken.as a matter of -course, there was a counter reaction; they took up the old songs and customs, but gave tlieni a tope that, im plied a Sense o f deliverance. Thus, “Roll, Jordan, roll,” became an emancipation song, and “Old Nicodemus” was completely trans formed. . And by a similar evolution. one phase of the old “Juba dance” became “Walking Egypt.” ;-Tiiisis, in. plain English, only a mildly religionized form o f the walk ing dance or dancing walk which the Afri cans, like all heathen: people, haye always had. The Indians’ “ corn dance” and “sun dance” are but variations' of the same thing. But ‘ ‘Walking Egypt,” as it now is, dates from emancipation, and: is performed on New Year’s eve—-that is, when they “watch the old year but and the ne w year in.” 6 iw description, by a white lady who saw it from the gallery o f a Georgia church, -is as fol* m > X b . : J)- \ i A “ T h e l e a d e r t o o k l i i s p l a c e o n t h e f l o o r a n d b e g a n t h e w i l d , h a l f b a r b a r i c c h a n t ; t h e n o n e b y o n e , a s t h e : e x c i t e m e n t g r e w , t h e . o t h e r s f o l l o w e d .

The proprietor of a Buffalo repair shop has been for years carrying a policy^: says the CouH&i', hq& only; upbn his. goods, but also upon articles left with him for repairs. These latter are speci fically mentioned in the policy, which was a very broad instrument ih its terms and appeared “ to be horse high, bull strong and pig tight” in its power to protect the man who paid for it. It called for a larger amount than he would have placed apon his property and he was in the habit of pie who left their .property that it was amply protected. He was burned ont the other day, and when he came to settle with the insurance, people they declined to recognize his claim in behalf of property left with him for re repairs, unless he had in each instance specifically agreed with the owner that its loss by fire should be made good, and charged a consideration therefor. They took this position on the ground that he was not otherwise responsible for the property left in his shop. T h ey asserted that a watchmaker for instance, is not responsible for watches leffcr with him for repairs, unless he makes a special agreement to this effect with their owners and charges them for it. If this be true it is a good thing for people generally to know. Iu the case ref err e d to, the owner of the repair shop wonders vrhat he has been paying for all these years. T lie S c ien tific A m e r ic a n . Perhaps some of our readers have visited the extensive offices of the Scien tific ' American^ at 361 Broadway, New York, but many have not, and to such. the following account may be of interest. A correspondent who recently had this pleasure informs us that he was greatly surprised at the magnitude of the estab lishment. It suggested to his mind an enormous insurance company or banking _ At the main office, which is principally de’voietr'l^-ike -Patent busi ness-forming as it does so important a part of the establishment—may be seen the members of the firm and their able corps of examiners. Ready access to the principals is offered to every qne; and • here may be seen inventors from all parts of the country showing their models and draw ings, and explaining their inventions. The models left by inventors form a large and interesting collection, and are kept in a room by themselves. The large corps, of draughtsmen who prepare the patent drawings are* for the most part experienced mechanics, electricians, or engineers, some of them having been- connected with the: U. S. Patent Office. Most of the correspondence is carried on by type writers, and this necessitates a separate department, where a number of experienced female type writers and stenbgraphers-are constantly employed. The dark room, where the photographs of the patent drawings are copied, and where the photographs for the architec tural department are developed, is also on this floor. On the floor above %iay be found the editorial rooms, composi tors’ and subscription room, and the en gravers’ department. The Architectural Departm ent occu pies the top floor, and here m ay be seen ,the manager of th is departm ent, and also a num ber of draughtsm en at work pre paring the plans and general designs for the Architect and Builder edition of the Scientific American, w h ich is pub- lised m onthly, and has attained a wide spread circulation. The printing of the papers is carried on in a separate build- jing, . At the entrance of the main office, which alone occupies a floor space of 60 b y 165 feet, may be seen one of Prof. Draper’s rem arkable recording barome ters, w ith w h ich instrum ent a com p lete record is kept of the atm ospheric changes. T h is barometer was built specially for the Scientific American, and it is a rem arkably fine and sensitive as w ell as a very expensive instrumqgit. Borne idea m ay be had of the extent of the business done at the office of the Scientific \American when we state that over one hundred persons are em p loyed b y M uon & Co. on their several p u b lica tions and in their extensive patent de partm ents.

Salford w as walk in g along the road when Mr. H arrington passed him in a cutter. The latter had not proceeded far when heheard the re port o f the rifle and felt the ball strike his leg. The ball; a 44 caliber in size, passed through the back of the cutter, entering Mr. H arrington’s leg below the -knee and lodging in the front part of the foot.

Soon after the opening of the%ew n year The Times will be established in its new qnarters in the splendid: building it has erected during the past year. This building is the loftiest in the city of New Yprk, and is declared by everybody to be the most beau tiful. In its new building The Times, w ill have more room for all its departments, a larger staff, better mechanical-facilities, and will in every respect foe more completely equipped for making a thoroughly good newspaper.. ; ' The qualities which pommend The. Times to - intelligent men and women are pretty well known. It is alert and enterprising in the business of collecting and publishing the news, but it finds the world so full of news, genuine news, every day that It has neither the space nor the inclination to publish the. doings of petty criminals or the tales of scandal-mongers. The business life of the city and country, the acts and purposes of politicians and of parties, the course of the markets, the social and religious movements of the time, and the world’s work in art and in science and in literature are faithfully recorded in the columns of The Times. Country readers- will find no other newspapers. more com plete, varied, and entertaining, and none better fitted to meet their wants. The Times is Independent in politics. It believes that the result of the recent P resi dential; election was altogether inconclusive as to the main question of the canvass—-the reduction of the tariff taxes—and will con tinue the work so energetically carried on by it during the camp aign of exposing greedy Trusts and unlawful combinations of capital and o f demonstrating the necessity of rev enue reform. Whether the tariff laws shall be revised and the taxes lowered by the democratic or by the republican party is a matter of m diffeience to The limes. Tariff reform transcends any and all purely party questions, and The Times-will encourage and support any effort made in good faith by either -party to diminish the burdens of heedless taxation. ; The Weekly edition of The Times contains all the current news condensed from the dispatches and reports of the daily edition, besides^literary matter, discussions upon agriculttuaUT3p««si^ poetical farmers, full accurate market reports of ~ prices -for farm produce,” live stock, &e., and a c a r e f iiv prepared W e e k l y W o o l e n -M a b k e t .

This is the day when all our grief is heightened by the past year’s sin. This is the day when we grow thin reflecting over last year’s fun and thinking what we might have done. Heigh O! I ’m sad, now it’s too late when I remember ’ 88 . Think of the money I have spent. Think of .the bills (Great Scott! the rent !) ’Bout all I’ve done is earn my bread. My boy, you ought to soak your head! What use are you upon this earth? Why, pshaw! I tell you you’re not worth the powder that would blow you up. I’m blue today. W ell, well, my cup is very full. It makes me mad to think that I have been so bad. But after all, what is the use? What’s done is done. Come, comer! a truce. My boy, brace up, ’twill be O.K. a hundred years from yesterday. It does no earthly good to fret. The thing is done, and fcvain regret won’t make it better. Come, don’t pine; ’tw ill be all right in ’89. A ll right? W ell, I should,faintly smile. You bet; I’ve done with all past guile. This raking up of chestnuts old is all played out. The day’ll be cola when you ob serve upon my brow such wrinkles as were there just now. It’s just as plain as day to me the reason we unhappy be. y My son* it’s w ill power, that is all. Exert ^ a n d Old Nick will fall. Why, all you’ve got to do is say “I won’t!” By George! it’s just as plain as day. Let’s see, I ’d better make a list, so that nothing will e’er foe missed. No more I’ll thrum the gay gujjbCr and wake the neighbors near and fary^I’ll make no bets, nor will I spring old chestnuts from the circus ring upon my friends, nor will I seek to borrow money on my cheek, TJl wake up in the morning bright, and in the dark I’ll strike a light and start the fire while my poor wife in bed is lengthening her life. I’ll hustle round and put in coal and saw up wood, upon my soul I. I’d better keep a diary, too, to chronicle what I will do. No more tobacco! I have spoke. By Jove! a man’s a fool to smoke. And in re gard to spending cash I’ll not throw it away on trash. This year ha! hal by hook or crook, I’ll put down figures in a book. I’ll save? Let’s .see, well I should say, a cool five hmidred in this way. No more you’ll catch me out of nights. How transitory those delights. I tell you, will power is the thing. I’ve seen my day. I’ve had my fling. H e llo, w h o ’s there? Como in. W h y , Jack, my boy, how cam e you back so soon? I’m glad you’re here. Come, shake, old-man. A Glad New Year. Sit down. Can’t stay? Why what’s on hand? No, no, my boy, I ’ve too much sand. What’s up? Yes? Well, who’ll be there? Only this time. Don’t know’s I care. Remember then, this once I ’ll go; but after this no more. No; no. Oh, what a jolly time ’twill be! Only this once, mind. Whoopee! What is the use of feeling down in heart?
