Description

"Progress, My Boy." - - The novel spectacle was witnessed in our streets a few days ago of a negro buck, as black as the ace of spades, escorting a white female. They promenaded in the streets in perambulated in a buggy to their heart's content. The female, we believe, proposes to teach the young colored idea how do you shoot here about. We failed to learn whether or not she brought recommendations from Beller of the Times.
