coLoRnD ! RIGHTS.
Negro Demanding a Place I'm the
Steamboat Cabin.

On the last trip of the Natoma, COM
manded by Captain Billy Ashford, from
Duvall's Bluff, Ark, to Memphis, the
civil rights question was brought to q
square issue. and was decided very posi-.
lively for the time being, atleast..
A negro named White, but of cop
peras- breeches color, came aboard at the
Bluff, in charge Of a !" celored lady"
and demanded place and berth for her
in the ladies' cabin. The clerk, Captain
Garrett Huls, referred him in firm
though not harsh manner to the place
below where colored ladies' of distinction
are generally and comfortably slowed
away when their services do not com
mand wages in the wash-room. White
appealed to Captain Ashford. but re-
ceived no comfort from that gentle
man. He told the mulatto that no
negro on earth could have room ic
the cabin Of the Natoma while he COM
manded. White replied that he would
sue the boat for ten thousand dollars
damages, and asserted that he had caused
the universal riding law to be passed in
the Arkansas Legislature expressly to
meet Captain Ashford case, having been
refused by him seat in the white folks
cabin in 1866. The negro was very inso-
lent and defiant, but could not help him
self, and had to 60 below. He came from
Little Rock to Duvslrs Bluff in the
ladies' car, with his wench, and no one
his right.
We have such beautiful law in Ten
nessee, passed by W. ]. Smith and such
men who are fond of associating with
negroes, but we will see how long it re-
mains in force. -

The alliance of a daughter of the King
of Hanover with the brother of the EN-
peror of Austria is delicate revenge
which the Hapsburgs are taking upon the
Hohenzolerns. Poor Austria, helpless
against the aggressive policy of Prussia,
has no other alternative but to mark her
disappointment by spiteful little acts,
which tend TO exasperate her triumphant
antagonist. without mending her own
case and without restoring the dispos-
sessed German princes to their throne.

On the oath of May, an @ronaut named
H. Baraille made an accent in balloon
from the center of the Plaza of Buenos
Ayres. 1t remained stationary over the
city for some time, there being no wind,
and on descending fell in the harbor. A
number of boats and small steamer
named the Cavour put of to the rescne
of the eronaut, who was drowning in his
car. By some misfortune the balloon, in
rolling about, came in contact with the
funnel of the steamer, and, the gas get
ting ignited, exploded with terrible force,
blowing the crew overheard, as also these
in the boats. The steamer was set on
fire, and sustained much damage. The
Buenos Ayres papers state that eight per-
sons were fatally injured, and twenty-five
we're much burned and injured. .9l1'

ROCHESTER, N. Y.
The Good Templars' Platform
PROHIBITION TO Be ENFORCED.
The Duty of the Members.

ROCHESTER, n. T., September 24.-The
Grand Lodge of Good Templars, We'd
Desday, adopted platform which says {:
The first solid and great principle Of
our order is in the assertion that every
Good Templar is TO do all he can both
by precept and example to abolish the
use of Intoxicating drinks and en-
force prohibition for each individual
and for society to stand fast in the
teachings of our order, and while We
are not a political organization but
rather an institution to educate the
people of actirg; Good Templar in the
discharge of his duties as u citizen
should recognize the claims of his obi
CATION and do all IN his power to rescue
aud force restrictive and prOhlbitory
leg station. The time has not come for
the organization of political party but
the time has come for every temperance
man TO engage in temperance politics,
keeping in mind that we can labor for
the largest immediate results now prac-
ticable. 1t is evident that prohibition
is now presented to US as the first avail
able work to be done.
