Damage suits.

Whatever chance may betide a
subject of Her Majesty Victoria, the
common British instinct is to look
to the courts for redress and dam
ages. If a train is behind time, if
a cabman overcharges, If a cartman
spatters mud on coat or trowsers, if
an apothecary sells laudanum for
ipecac, if an arm is put out Of joint
or a heart broken, somebody must
be sued. Indeed, it is not improb-
able that in the next world the
average Briton, if he finds himself
in the wrong latitude, will insist
upon bringing a suit for damages
against some devil or other who
may be responsible for having
switched him off the right track for
heaven. But this is wide of the
dog case now under consideration.
An English country girl, who ven
tured to enter a neighbor's yard,
was attacked by a dog, and bitten
in the leg so severely that she was
compelled to remain in the hospital
for two months. AS soon as she
recovered she marched into 1. law
yer'S Office, and opened proceedings
against the owner Of the dog. In
answer the neighbor aforesaid con-
tended that the dog was over TWEEN
ty years old, and could not have
done much damage to the before
mentioned leg, inasmuch as he had
lost all his teeth. Whereupon the
plaintiff rejoined that whatever the
age of the dog, he had enough teeth
in his iawbones to render a painful
surgical operation necessary in her
case. The proceedings ought not
to be adjourned too often, for the
venerable witness, who carries the
evidence in his mouth, may die pre-
maturely.

Captain 0. P. Shinkle, with his
elegant new steamer the Golden
Rule, came in this morning at five
o'clock. Her arrival was announced
by a salute from her cannon. She
bad 1900 tons of freight, 76 cabin
passengers aud so deckers. She
added here a few people but refused
freight. She is a beautiful steamer
and was inspected and admired by
quite a number of the captains
friends. Captain Shinkle is well
pleased with her. She handles we'll
and he says she lisa success in every
particular. She proceeded on her
journey at eight o'clock, firing a
salute as she rounded out from the
landing.
The famous and unrivaled pas
senger steamer j. W. GaHf, in com
mand of the peoples favorite, Capt.
Bob Wise, leaves at sharp five this
evening for Cairo, Louisville and
Cincinnati, ticketing passengers at
greatly reduced rates to all points

is a pleasure to travel and do bust
ness, controls the office. On leav.
ing here she will have 1000 bales of
cotton, about all she wants, and a
good list of people, including Mrs.
j. d. Moore, an estimable and &C.
complished lady of the old Virginia
school, accompanied by the Misses
Anna Burkhart and Ida Cragg, two
beautiful and accomplished ladies of
Louisville. The celebrated caterer
Billy Collins superintends the cui-
sine, and is always found at his
post in the cabin ever ready to make
the guests of the Calf comfortable
and at home.
