Show Colored Orphan"for Butler. It has already been discovered by many ; patronesses of the Methodist orphanages and other homes for destitute colored children that a bright boy is as useful about the house as any girl. Not all the boys or girls can go into trades, and perhaps per-haps there are no happier relations between be-tween employers and employed than exist between a trusty butler or waiter of American-African descent and the family whose interests he makes his own. In the paucity of white American supply, sup-ply, when American brightness and adaptiveness is so much needed, it should not be overlooked that it is ft great waste of good material when a boy is allowed to pick up his living as a hanger on for odd jobs in the markets, or odd jobs anywhere. any-where. Ho had better be qualifying either in "buttons" and apron, or white jacket in house service, to grow up into the valued and trusted attendant that everybody knows is in demand.
