in America to earnestly work for the OBJ
leet in view. Members of patriotic, benevolent
and other organizations would find the plat
form of the league broad enough for all to
stand on They need not abandon their own
special work nor permit it to be interfered

embracing that of the league Conservatives

About a year ago General Robert c.
Schenk was said to be dying of Brights
disease. The physicians said so, gave
him up, and the people of the country
In which he has been so long and often
honored got ready to receive the announce
ment of his death But the General is
still alive to point his finger at the doctors;
not only alive, but in good health, having
quite got the better of the fearful desease
that was wasting him away The change
in condition was simply the effect of
change of diet. He had been Il generous
liver. He came down to milk and tomatoes.
He ate nothing else for a year. Now he
is all right again, and may eat of whatso-
ever pleaseth him with impunity. There
are men who will need the full expression
OF the moral this experience implies. Such
men are fit to die of Bright's disease. But
1t seems, after all, that half the ills that
flesh is heir to may be averted by adopt
proper regimen. The character of food
we take and the manner in which we take
1t are the prime causes of many of the
worst disorders from which men suffer. |
Dieting is too little understood. There |
IS not enough attention given to the choice |
of foods and the care of cooking. Let |
the stomach be rightly attended to. and |
the brain and other vital functions in
which diseases lodge will have less room
to harbor the vagrant enemies of life and |
sweet content

THE LAW CLASS.

The Howard University Law Class
Association met last Saturday evening,
Professor Leighton acting presiding
Judge of the moot court. The
question for discussion was as follows:
ut was 1888, before railroads were
very numerous, that Hollister made a
journey 10y stage from Utica to Buffalo,
New York. A traveller had to take
an early start in those days, and the
sun had not yet risen when Hollister
got on the coach of the Telegraph line,
and saw his trunk safely slowed away
in the boot. In all the stage offices
along the route, and in must of the pub
lie houses, there were hung large plac-
ards in big letters, with this notice
All baggage sent or carried on the
Telegraph line is at the risk of the
owners thereof Whether Hollister
read any Of these notices no one will
ever be able to find out, for no one saw
him reading them. To be sure he said
he never did, but then he may have
lied about it. At any rate, before the
coach had gone three miles on this
memorable journey, it was discovered
that somebody had climbed up at the
back of the vehicle, Lut the straps of
the boot, and relieved the horses of
pulling two hundred pounds at least.
Question On the above statement
of facts can Hollister recover?'
Messrs. Campher, Burgess and Chase
represented the plaintiff, and Messrs.
Mcfarland, Albert and Coombs for the
defendent. Mr.. Campher in opening
the case for the plaintiff, showed, by
logic and law. that the plaintiff had u
right to recover damages notwithstand-
ing HOLSTERS knowledge of the placard
that was put up by the company deny
ing their responsibility for passengers S
baggage. He assured the honorable court
that there were authorities of unlim-
tied numbers to sustain the plaintiff.
The argument of Mr.. Campher was
loudly applauded. Mr.. a. Z. Albert,
one Of the counsels for the defendant,
followed Mr.. Campher in a half an
hour speech to the court. sustaining his
side of the question, with as much law
and eloquence that could beput forward.
Mr.. Albert admitted, in the course OF
his argument, certain propositions
which were favorable to the other side.
Mr.. Albert has thorough knowledge
of the application of law; notwithstand-
ing the court rendered a decision, ac-
companied with some logical points. in
favor of the plaintiff. This evening
Messrs. Kicks, Hunt, Walk, Davis,
Mitchell and Cooper will argue an
equity case which, no doubt, will be
interesting.

TELLING a lie and irving to be fun

TELLING lie and trying to be funny
seems to be a very prominent char
acteTistic of the hired man on the Re
publican who assumes to do the funny
"nigger work" for that sheet. In ref
erence to the fire at Clifton last Friday
night, the said funny man of the Re
publican gets this off:
"An old darkey, who was of an in
quiring disposition. was very eager to
find out where the fire was"
"Whar dat fab, boss ?" he inquired
of a Republican reporter.
"What fre?'" was the replying
query.
"'Wi, dom you see dat ar fab fleet
ed in de hebbensP"
"'Fire Why that's no fire; that's
Virgins storm coming"
"'Grate lo'd massy Dis yer niger
guineter to git shelter Y
'.And he rushed off with all the
kinks coming out of his hair and the
entire capillary substance assuming a
perpendicular position"
First, if any colored man asked such
a question the funny man had to tell a
lie to give an answer.
Then this abortive attempt to initiate
"0ld ST." Uuncle Remus, or any of the
real original authors in ''darkey. lingo
is a miserable failure, and this funny
man will do well to use his pen where
a joke can be seen, felt and appreciated.
People get tired of reading stuff and
trash when there is nothing in it, and
especially in case like the above, when
even the lingo is not correct.

What a splendid audience did good
Dr. Tanner have at Bethel Hall last
Tuesday. There it was-the social
wealth, the financial also, the culture.
the rise, the progress of our race as
represented in this city. Such an au-
dlence to hear a theme, "The two hun
dredth century and what of it." any
man can be proud of. There were men
and women of letters, and the represen-
tatives of the highest walks of our best
society; the writer, the physician, the
lawyer, the soldier, the sailor, the mu-
slcian, the artist, the mechanic, and in
TACT all that great and learned man
like DR.. Tanner could wish to have in
front Of him. If the doctor is pleased
with what he looked at and talked to.
his audience is doubiy happy, for they
drank his paper with a relish and buoyed
him up to do his best, for he knew what
was in his front. When the paper was
finished Mr.. Hillyer. of Minnesota,
made some remarks on the question of
amending the Constitution of the Uni
ted States. Very few there knew this
young man, but before he took his seat
the question went around the hall like
wild fire, "who is hep" Mr.. Hillyer is
a SPLENDID reasoner and fine talker.
Mr.. Greener and "Globe" Smith made
short talks, and the audience was
pleased with them. Then the great old
war-horse, DIR. Tanner, made it pleasant
for all. Mr.. Smith, the president, gave
us some statistics on the West Indies;
and finally Arthur Smith, who is a
second edition of Sidney Smith, put the
house to thinking, then to laugher, and
Bishop Brown give the benediction.
