Mr.. Douglass, in his letter from Niagara
Falls, says:
On the evening of the Cd OF July, in COM
pany with friend Remond and two others,
took passage on board the steamer Atlantic
at Buffalo Tor Detroit, and Immediately paid
my iaTe tor first cabin passage, and suppo.
sing That this ticket gave me a clear right to
tae comforts enjoyed by other first class
passengers, | went into the Saloon, and
seated myself with others. was, however.
soon informed by the steward, that / could
not remain there, but must go forward.
obeyed the order, but not until | had seen
the Clerk, and demonstrated against the pal-
pable injustice of compelling me to pay an
equal fare with white persons, while he de.
MED to me equal privileges. He evidently
felt the injustice and wrong done me, and
said, for himself he had no objection 10 my
going into the Saloon, but that such were the
rules, and he was compelled to submit.
asked for the presentation Of the rules,
and was frankly told, by the Clerk, that there
were none such in existence, but that they
acted upon a common understanding and |
presume that such is the case in every in
stance. | have never been able yet to see a
rule whereby a colofed man is compelled 10
pay an equal lare, and TO share unequal priv
ileges, vulgar and shameless as are the own
ers and conductors Of steam packets, there is
not one of them who would not be ashamed
to publish over his own signature a rule so
mean and viIlanous as that-and yet, they
will practice with all holiness, in accordance
with that insulting rule.-On the next day |
received an invitation from a large number cf
passengers, the Captain himself conserving,
TO deliver an address. on the subject of Amer
lean Slavery, with which complied but in
stead OF treating them 10 an expose Of Soutl :
etn Slavery, ! called their attention 10 the OPP
p~ressive customs Of the North generally, and
those adopted on that Boat particularly, which
at once commanded the attention of the ships
company, as well as passengers.-After my
remarks, MIR. Remond being called upon, re.
sporded in one of his h~appiest Efforts, recon.
mending The "North Star" TO the patronage
Of every friend of freedom on board. AT The
close Of his speech, five gentlemen came for
ward and subscribed for the paper. The
meeting altogether, was a highly satisfactor,
one, and evidently wrought a change in tn,
feelings Of all on board. One of the officer
and owners of the vessel subscribed for In
paper and kindly gave me a free ticket I

The FEMALE M. ID. IN PARIs.-The med
ical community Of Paris has been set a talk.
ing, by the arrival in this city of the celebra.
ted American doctor. Miss Blackwell. The
lady has quite bewildered the learned faculty
by her diploma, all in due form, authorizing
her 10 dose and bleed and ampu,ate with The
rest Of them. Some of them are certain tina,
Miss Blackwell is a Socialist Of The most fu-
rious class, and that her undertaking is the
entering wedge 10 a systematic attack on So
ciety by the fair sex. Others who have seen
her, say that there is nothing very alarming
in her manner, that, on the contrary, she an.
pears modest and unassuming, and talks rea.
sonably on other subjects. The ladies attack
her in their turn. One of them said to me
the other day. "Oh, it is too horrid I'm
sure never could touch her hand! OnIy.to
think that those long fingers Of hers had been
cutting up people!" ! have seen the doctor
in question, and must say, in fairness, that
her appearance is quite preposseseing. She
is young and rather good looking her man
ner indicates great energy Of character, and
she seems TO have entered on her singular ca
reer from motives of duty, and encouraged by
respectable ladies at Cincinnati. After alb tut
ten days hesitation on the part of the direc.
tors of the Hospital of Maternity, she has al
last received permission to enter that %insiitu-
ton as a pupil.-C0r. N. y. Jour. Com.
Bishop Purcell, in an address 10 the clergy
and laity OF the diocese of Cincinnati, says:
- We lose more than seventy a day, more
than five hundred a week of our Catholic
population
