them; by Theophilus Parsons, Ii. ID.
National Publishing Co, Cincinnati,
Ohio.
4 careful perusal of this work will
convey AL adequate understanding OF all
legal questions arising in public or pri-
waite life, for it gives clear explanation
OF those universally recognized prInci-
pies, on which are based all existing laws
that were enacted to secure us in the en-
joyment of rights and privileges.
That every one should b. well INFORM
ed concerning the rights and duties OF
N. citizen, is of the greatest Importance
in this country where he participates 50
f~.eIy and 50 directly in the affairs OF
the government.
TRis volume will prove Of great value
TO the statesman and to lawyers, and
cannot but b. emincntly useful to the
citizen Of every class and calling.
The ability, accuracy and long expert,
euce of the author Us Il law writer and
teacher. are sufficient guarantee that
tn" work il one of merit and usefulness.
The language Of the author is simple, h"
eliminates from il those abstruSs
phrases 20 common in most law books
and brings his subjects within the com
prchension Of those uulcarned in the law.
His explanation of the causes which
led to the framing and adoption Of the
Constitution OF the United States, and Its
principles and purposes, Is alone well
worth the cost of the volume to every
one who spires to the full enjoyment of
the privileges guaranteed him by the SUI

If useful knowledge, the excellent forms,
the rules for the organization and pro-
cedure Of deliberative bodies and the Z los
>ary of law terms in common use make
the work one Of great popular value.

Civil Rights Law.

The object of the authors of this law
Ito draw the mantcl of charity over the
political motive which some uncharita-
Die people suppose actuated the major
ity in Congress- is to secure to the
black u.an the common necessities of
life in public inns, thcaters, and We.
hiclcs Of transportation, to provide u

ing, and something to alnusc and in
struct him in places of pubic amGsc.
ment. Then the conclusion is i~rresist.
able that if the black man has comfort
able quarters and nourislimcnt while
travelling, and a comfortable scat in
places of public amusement, where he
can sec and hear as well rs the whites,
the spirit and reason Of the law is met,
and so the Supreme Court of the
United States will decide when n proper
case goes before them. All, then. that
this civil rights law requires OF inn
keepers, and others, is to afford the ne
gro n reasonable degree of comfort
make it impossible for him to suiIer
for want of plenty OF good nourish.
ment and lodgmcDt.
The law does not apply to drinking
saloons or restaurants, or lunch
houses. A restaurant is not an inn, for
the latter furnishes TODD and lodging,
and the fOrmer furnishes food for
transient custom.
Every law hath its reasonable basis,
and when we come to analyzc this civil
rights law, it is not SO hard to comply
with its spirit as supposed by some
people who jump at conclusions.
There Is no necessity for the two
races to mix, either in public places of
amusement or at other places. Let
separate accommodations be prepared
for the negro on railroads, public inns,
and places Of public amusements, so as
to give him, for his money. just as
good as the white man gets, and the
reason and spirit of the law will have
been answered.

The King Of shirts.

From the Augusta Gao Constitutionalist,
S. N. Moody, of New Olleans, who
died recently by his wi hand, while
suffering from an intolerablo neuralgia
attack, vas a singular man. He pros
pered when Louisiana was as poor as a
rat. The secret Of his continued sue.
cess was advertising. He knew how
to advertise, and the duller the season
the more peIsistently he kept himself
and his wares before The public. He
was known as the "Shirt King Of the
Southwest" On every dead wall and
on nearly every telegraph pole, in the
Mississippi valley, the wayfarer was in.
vited to "get his shirts at S. N.
Moody's." He was a most liberal
patron of the daily press, and by a
thousand ingenious devices, and in
spite of tremendous opposition, he
died, as he lived, the super. eminent
and pluperiect king of Shirts" Such
was his faith in the necessity of capt.
waiting the fancy of the people, and
Winning their attention that it was Sc
riousIy declared in New Orleans. years
ago, he offered $4,000 to help pay for
a new steamboat intended for the St.
Louis trade, provided he had the naming
of the ciaft. His offer was promptly
accepted, but almost as suddenly de-
cllned when it became known that
' Get Your Shirts at Moody's" was to
be the baptismal appellation. Col.
was a thorough business man,
but he lived in elegance and had many
warm friends. 1t may not be a very
