GENERALITIES.
Social Privileges.

The practical questions of social privileges
involved in the Civil Rights bill have never been
tested in Maryland. Into the city railroad cars
in Baltimore q negro is not allowed to enter; he
must stand outside upon the platform, if he rides
at all. An attempt was made to put this matter
TO the test of the law on the 18th instant.
celored citizen, accompanied by two white men,
seated himself in a car, and declined to be put
out unless by force which the conductor did
not attempt, the colored man being deaf TO mere
remonstrances. But as the President of the
railroad company has since admonished con-
ductors to follow out the old rules and expel
colored persons attempting to occupy seats, it is
supposed that nothing but experience at the
hands of the law will awaken common sense or
decent humanity among the horse-car officials
OF Baltimore. Let them take advice from the
rich corporations of the kind in other places
who yielded this point of prejudice some years
ago.
little romance of sprained ankle comes
from ST. Louis, in which young clerk, young
lady school-teacher, and dog are the leading
features. The clerk and the school-teacher, it
appears from previous concatenation of circum-
stances, had fallen desperately in love. One
evening, the couple were proceeding to
church, terocious dog jumped over fence
and went for' the lady. Here was q chance
for chivalry, and the young man gallantly inn
proved it. Throwing himself in front of his
fair one he gave the attacking monster blow
which sent him flying with yelps of ignominous
defeat; but in the very moment of victory the
now the turn for womanly heroism to display
itself. The school-teacher was q girl with no
nonsense about her. She at once ordered a
hack, helped her lover in, accompanied him
to his room, bathed and dressed his ankle,
watched over him all night and naturally
enough went for friend and minister next day,
and married her man in the evening. What
could be more satisfactory termination of the
story than this?
New FL Dorado.
Montana, with elightful climate of a mean
temperature, similar, with smaller range of
variation, to Philadelphia, or st. Joseph, Mo-,
offers great advantages to immigrants. 1t pos
sesses abundance of large timber, principally
pine, fir, cedar, and hemlock; yields of wheat
So of oats IS to 100, and of potatoes 500 to 400
bushels to the acre. No better pasturage for
horses, cattle, and sheep can be found through
out the year. Hogs and hens find abundant food.
Beneath the surface there is bituminous coal,
brick clay, FIRE clay, iron and "copper" gold and
silver quartz, while placer mining yet remains
profitable to those who have not facilities for
penetrating deeply the bowels of the earth
There is room there for women as well as for
men; good housekeepers receive from $75 10
$780, and ordinary kitchen servants $50 to $75
per month"; and we are told that to-day immi-
grants will find in Montana all the comforts
conveniences, and many of the luXures of a
high civilization, with comparatively no hard
ships"
The Greatest Organ In the World.
The following particulars respecting the new
world, we lind in the musical column of the
Independent:-"T organ just finished, and
now putting together for the new Royal Albert
Hall of Arts and Sciences, in London, will pro-

Michael Costa by Willis, the builder of the
famous organ in st. Georges Hall, Liverpool,
and cost 10000, or about the same as the great
organ in the Boston Music Hall. In the comparl-
son oforgans, figures are always more or less de
ceptive. An instrument of 80 registers may be
really larger and more powerful than one of rs
