CIVIL RIGH1s.-It is held by several
decisions of United States District Courts,
and affirmed by the Supreme Court, that
the Civil Rights Act OF Congress csnfers
only political rights. That personal
rights depend upon State legislation -
Thus railroad company that places col
ored people in a special car, or hotel
proprietor refusing to furnish accommo-
datons TO colored people, cannot be held
liable under the Act of Congress. =.

ssCLEAR GRIT"
Startling Eject Of Q Suggestion BY
Rev. Robert C0llyera as to Early 1ar.
r1ageS.

The Rev. Robert Collyer, of Chica.
60. delivered his lecture entitled
"Clcar Grit last evening At Steinwsy
Hall, in aid Of the Hospital for the
Cure of Chronic Diseases. There was
large audience, composed mainly of
young men and women. for whom the
lecture is principally intended. The
speaker presented many old truths in .
new and attractive dress, illustrating
all his points with anecdotes. He said
it uattered not so much what part in
life . man played. SO that he played it
we'll. 1t showed more clear grit and
was more to . mans credit to work
ten hours d.y making horseshoes
and making good ones than to be .
minister. dawdle through the week and
preach poor sermon on Sunday. Mr..
Collyer said he could speak with au
thority ON this point, as he had done
both. The lecturer believed most en-
phaticalIy in early marriages, and
thought it was . great mistake for
young people to wait until the bloom
Of youth had worn sway. He said
that a young man had told him about
a year ago that, having heard one
evening. in company with young la
dy friend, this lecture, he had pro-
posed and had been accepted before
he had walked three blocksefrom the
hall. At this there was = futter and
rustling through the hall, either Of
anxious expectancy or Of shuddering
dread. A nervous, now.or never ex-
preston was observed to creep over
the faces Of many young men, and
several couples near the door rose aad
left the hall.
Mr.. Coilyer concluded by summar.
iziug his address under these four
heads, which he called unmistakeble
evidences Of "pure grit :" 10 be able
to do days work honestly aud we'll !;
to marry young; to raise large fam
lily with Gods help, and then to per-
severe and be contented. He did not
believe in waiting to enjoy one's self.
The hope long deferred did not al
ways come, and then the soul grew
sick. It was far better and wiser
to take the pleasures, great and small,
as they came along. IT. a man waited
until be had fortune before he could
enjoy himself, be often found he had

A New and Wonderful Variety Of P0.
tatOes of Extraordinary Production.

The Victor was originated in 1871,
by A. G. Ashaid, of Portage Go Ohio.
Probably 1t is the most productive as
we'll as the best favored potato now in
use. This potato sold last season at q
dollar per pound. Thos Furry Of
Crystal Lake, whose post-ofice address
is Minneapolis, sent for some Of the
seed, and sas now a limited quantity

dollar and quarter per peck. The
potatoes are about medium in regard
to earliness. They are dry aud mealy,
aud Mr.. Ashald informs the public
that the potato yielded at the rate Of
over seven hundred bushels to the
acre. Mr.. Furry thinks with proper
cultivation they will reach that pro
duct here. They grow very large and
are never hollow. This variety Of po
tatoes will take the place Of the Ne.
shaunk, aud the Peach blows, but are
earlier than the latter variety. Some
specimens weigh over three pounds !;
eyes few and nearly even With the sur
face ; ehape, sblong to round /; skin,
reddish purple; flesh, the whitest Of
any potato grown; vine, stalky, OF
