Catching cold, says DR.. Thomas
Inman, isia common phrase for an attack
of catarrh,a but il is very incorrect one.
One year ! suffered SO very severely from
a seriesa of "colds" that my attention
was drawn especially to them. / was then
lecturer on Medicine, and nearly every
night from five O'Clock to six during the
winter months had to turn out from 3
warm room to 60 through all weathers,
lecture for an hour in a theatre heated by
a stove and lighted by gas, and then re-
turn again to my snuggcry at home.-
When Ihfelt a fresh cold beginning, !
tried in vain to account for it, until | ac-
cideutly saw in Copland's dictionary that
the most fertile cause 0fa cold was com.
ing from moist, cold air to o hot and
dry room. This at once explained to mo
the reason Of my frequent suffering, for
l had invariably gone into my hot room
straight from the cold Of course soon
changed my habit; dawdled in the hall
while taking off my great coat, perambu-
lated the rooms which had no fire in,
went up and down stairs and the like, ere
l went into my study, whose temperature
was also reduced. Since then, agree
with friend who says, "that cold
comes from catching hot" and am dis
posed to think that there is a strong
analogy between chillblain on child's
toes and cold III a persons nose, throat,

EoUALlrY.--On last Saturday night at
the speaking on Broad street, we noticed
a Radical who was talking with the ne.
grocs about equality, advising them to
demand their social rights. A tall negro,
evidently from the country, but sharp
withal, said to him ll f4 .tta q
care you willing for us niggers to sit
in your parlor, court your daughters. ac-
company them to church and balls, and
marry them p y
Mr.. Rad commenced to explain what
equality was, and what lie meant.

want is All answer, yes or no"

Mr. Rad tried again and again to ex.
plain his position on that particular fea-
ture of negro equality, and every time
the negro would stop him and demand a
"yes or no; !" SO he finally gave 1t up;
