The Chattanooga Railroad Company are

reasoning and just in its conclusion
that it must command the assent Of al
unbiased minds:
We have already noticed the suit of Hsr-
riet Jacobs against the Atlantic Navigation
Company claiming five thousand dollars
damages for being put in the colored cabin

sense on this difficult and delicate question:
that we must refer 10 it at some length
Mrs. Jacobs, though herself very black. has
ter that bought the ticket The mother
was refused accommodation among white
ladies, but vas accommodated in the '-col-
ored cabin
Jadge DAILY, in charging the jury. wisely
held that tie company was bound TO do
what it contracted to do. but that if the
plaintiff had obtained a first-class ticket
through fraId deceit in sending her
daughter as a white girl for it. then the
company could not be held 10 promise so
obtained. The general law of common car
riers and iIn-keepcrs is held to be this

ted fare. When person stops ut an inn. it
is the business of the inu-keeper TO furnish

the traveller to say that he will dine at this
place or that: that he will have this room
or that. The regulation of the inn i under
the 60 ltrol of the inn keeper. whose prov

Ii was the same with regard TO the proprie-
tors of railway companies, who might as

are the defendants justified in making a
distinction amounting to separation be-
tween colored person and the class known
as white persons? IN this Judge DAILY
argued that the quetiOn was not one of
superiority or of infeiority. but of differ
ence. /. 1t does not mater whether the col
ored man is a Superior man or an inferior
man, he is different man from the white
man. He argued that We were not called
upon to inquire either ghy the Creator had
made these differences between the races,
nor why He had separated them on the face
Of the globe; it was eTough 10 know that
He had done so. That there was g preiu-
dice to mixing of the r;ces was a fact, and
he held that the eompan, did its whole duty
in providing comfortable and pleasant ac-
commodations for eolor,d persons separate
from those provided forwhite persons, the
custom and ground foI separation being
Just and reasonable, anL sufficiently uni
versal to make the regulation necessary.

RESPECT THE BoDY.-A writer in Hearth
and Home says: Respect the body. Give
it what it requires, and no more. Don't
pierce its ears, strain its eys, or pinch its
feet don't roast it by hot fire all day, and
smother it under heavy bed covering all
night; don't put it in a cold draught on
slight occasions; and don't nurse or pet it
TO death; don't dose it with doctors stuffs,
and above all, don't turn it into a wine cask
or chimney Let it be warranted not TO
smoke from the time your manhood takes
possession. Respect the body; don't over
work, over rest, or over love it. and never
debase it, but be able TO lay 1t down when
you are done with it, a Worn but not a mis-
used thing. Meantime, treat ii at least as
well as you would your pet horse or hound,
and my word for it, though it will not jump
to China at a bound, you'll find it most ex-
cellent thing to have, especially in the coun-
try"

How TO TREAT THE BITE OF Mad DOG
DR.. stephen Ware, of Boston, in his testimo-
ny in recent case which grew out of the
injuries from the bite of dog, furnished
the following valuable advice
In the lease of the bite of dog, where the
teeth of the animal penetrated the flesh,
whether the dog was known to be mad or
not, he should use the same precautions.
He would wash the wound with warm water
extract all the Virus possible by sucking the
wound with his lips, and then cauterfze it
deeply with the caustic most readily OBJ
tanned; but should use potash if it could be
procured at once. The time in which the
effects of the bite of mad dog would be
seen varied from to three days to as many
years, but if no effects were felt after two
or three months, as a general thing the pa
tient might consider himself safe Bites
made through clothing are seldom produc-
tive of much harm, as even II the dog is
mad the clothing absorbs the vilus before
the teeth reach the flesh. Most of all the
fatal cases are where the person was bitten
on some naked spot.

TRIP LIGHTLY.

Trip lightly over trouble,
Trip lightly over wrong,
We only make grief double
By dwelling on it lo=g.
Why clasp woes hand so tightly
Why sigh DER blossoms dead
Why cling to forms unsightly:
Why not seek joy instead.
Trip lightly over sorrow,
Though all the day be dark,
The sun may shine tomorrow.
And gaily sing the lark;
Fair hopes have not departed,
Though roses may have fled;
Then never be down-hearted,
But look for joy Instead.
Trip lightly over sadness,
stand not to rail at doom;
We've pearls to string OF gladness,
on this side of the tomb;
When stars are nightly shining,
And the Heaven is overhead,
Encourage not repining,
Bat look for JOY instead.
