PROFESSOR FELIX ADLER ON MANS RIGHT TC
VIRTUE.


Professor Adler delivered the closing lecture Of the
series the social question yesterday, and alluded
particularly to mans rght not only 10 iie but also
to virtue. strong feeling existed nowadays TO see
lair play between tho rich and the poor between tho
strong and the weak. Tho great majority Of mankind
mad needs, but could not speak them. They could
only cry them. and It the duty Of those PROCESSING
the religion Of humanity to listen 70 thor means. II
was tho custom Of human egotism TO proclaim that
the workipgman was shiitloss and still tho accumu-
lated millions OF the savings banks throughout the
country showed that all tho earnings OF the aborng
classes do not go to the dramshop. Granted oven
that some OF them would 90 astrsy occasionally,
whom contem plating now and then the black gulf
of pauperism before them. II was Simply owing
TO The fact that thor Improvement, whenever Il
did come by uts anu starts, WAS not permanent IL
should be understood that the right to virtue
great human rsht rs the right TO iiie which ono
disputes TO day. And sill the slow poison Infused
into Thousands ~ thor factories, workshops and
crowded tcucmcus deprived them OF tnat right 70
virtue 70 which all races were entitied.

FIRST RAILROAD RIDE.
Cape Town required to see the Wanguana, and
Commodore Sullivan etermincd to do his very
best to prove to them how English people loved
such conduct as they displayed Through his in
luence special "hre carriage" was detailed TO
convey them from Cape Town to Stienbosch, and
the wond er OF the people was indescribablc Many
times they told me that the "hre carriage" was the
true pagozi, porter, for the continent at re-
qures neither food nor medicine; 1t has no legs to
get weary. no back to ache nor arms to tire; dis
ease will not make 1t sick: It's iron body would
cause the poisoned arrows and spears to
rebound; even bullets and slugs could not
penetrate IL, the spear grass would not njure
It's legs, nor would the mud ucerate them Six
days march In an hour VALIANT 1t laughs at
distance. Verify, master. you must get the fire
carriage the next time you want TO cross the con-
unent." The Wanguana became eloquent even
poetical, In describing the merits Of the "nre car
riage." The only thing, in their opinion, that the
English ought to do next would be TO learn how to
reanmate the dead, or, as they expressed 1t, 'put
q new heart In a dead man" And then they need
learn nothing more.
LADY FRERE AND THE wANGUANA
To enumerate all the courtesies shown to the
wanguana AT Cape Town would be too much. Lady
Frere and Commodore sullivan devised several
entertainments for them, and the 'Great Lady"
as they came to call Lady Frere, presented men,
women and infants with many souvenirs of their
visit to her at Government House. There was ono
parsonage absent from Cape Town at this
ime whom they would have delighted to
have seen. | mean Sir Bartle Frere-
one OF the best trends to Africa and the
Africans now living. should also have wished to
have seen once more one who always placed faith
In me and was q nrm friend In days when friends
were extremely scarce. | should greatly have
liked to have shown my people this great and good
man, the friend Of Livingstone, the friend Of their
master and the friend Of their despised race.

The first case tried was that of Viii
liam p. Karr, vs.. Joseph Flanagan gar.
Of Robert Lee, Bird for plaintiff and
Lore for defsndent. The cause for ae-
ton was this. Robert Lee was debtor
to William ?. karr, dealer in sand and
lime. Lee sold some property to Joseph
Fla nigan for 5000, $500 OF which were
paid in cash to Lee, and $500 went to
RELEASE Flanagan from mortgage held
by John G. Price. Lee soon after dis.
posing of his property left the State
and karr in order to secure the amount
Of his bill brought suit against Flani-
gan for $500 with interest from Dec-m-
Der 18th.
After able and earnest arguments by
the counsel on both sides Judge Woot-
ten charged the jury.
1t is" said he, ian action as to
whether Flanagan, at the time the at
tachment was laid, owed Lee anything.
II he did then then the plaintiff is Gu
titled to recover, If not then he is not
entitled to the amount claimed"
According to the line OF defence
marked out by Mr.. Bird it seems that
Flapigan instead of paying his pro-
portionate share of the mortgage which
amounted to $3.50 on the - feet he pur-
chas d, went and negotiated for the
mortgage upon the % feet adjoining
not in the bill of sale. On this ground
Mr.. Bird claims the difference between
$3.50 and the $500, which is $3.50 or the
whole $6o0.]
After the jury had retired the case of
Samuel Magee's Administrative, VS..

Of sick ness of the deceased.
