“Some of the colored newspapers are boy

cotting The New York Freeman for its

Democratic tendencies,” says the Florida

News. The Freeman can stand all the boy

cotting the colored press can do it as long

as the colored people of the country give it

more support than they do any other col

ored paper.

Hon. John M. Langston, late Minister to

Hayti, after spending some forty days in

the West Indies in the interest of a Philadel

phia commercial house, has just returned to

his home at Washington.

The communication by Prof. Stewart,

printed in another column, will be read with

interest by the readers of The Fbeeman.

JOHN AXD JACOB-A DIALOGUE ON WOMAN’S

RIGHTS.

Written ter The Freeman by Mrs. F. E. W. Harper.

JACOB.

I don’t believe a single bit

In these new-fangled ways

Of women running to the polls

And voting now adays.

I like the good old-fashioned times

When women used to spin.

And when you came from work you knew

Your wife was always in.

Now there's n.y Betsy, just as good

As any wife need be.

Who sits and tells me day by day

That women are not Cree;

And then I smile and say to her,

‘■You surely make me lass;

This talk about your riguts and wrongs

Is nothing else but chaff.”

JOHN,

Now, Jacob, I don’t think like you;

I think that Betsy Ana

Has just as good a right to vote

As you or any man.

JACOB.

Now, John, do you believe for true

In women running round.

And when you come to look for them

They are not to be found?

Pray, who would stay at home to nurse,

To cook, to wash, and sew,

While women marched unto the polls?

That’s what I want to know.
