The nights of Coiorod Passongers.
Washington, Dec, The intcr-state
comui -ice coimnlsiiwii to-day rendered a
di-ci.-ioii i;i I'ie case of W. II. Council,
colored, vs. th.j W stern & Atlantic rail
ro:id. Council was fo.ced to ride in
what is known in the south ns a "Jim
Crow" car, which is run for colored peo
ple, although iih had n first class ticket.
The opinion, which is by Commissioner
Morrison, holds that the colored people
may 12 assigned separate ears on equal
terms, without advantage to either race
and with increased comfort to both. The
"Jim Crow" car furnished only second
class comfort in travel, and the road
must furnish colored people who buy
first-class tickets accommodations equally
safe and comfortable with other first
class pa-sangers.

Shot From Ambush.
Savannah. Ga., Dec. 3. From Pulas
ki county comes the news of a sensational
tragedy, in which the man who held the
pistol seems to be the missing link. For
two days the coroner has been trying to
reach the bottom of the crime, but with
out success. The tragedy tok place on
the plantation of H. E. liandols, a pros
perous farmer of Southwest Pulaski. It
seems that a gang of turpentine hands
from North Carol Sua have been operating
recently around Mr. liauolds place, some
of whom were very insolent.
On Monday Mr. Rauolds went to Haw
kinsville to serve on the grand jury,
leaving his two sons, John and James, in
charge of his affairs. Pat Van, one of
the turpentine men, accompanied by sev
eral of his partners, met the Ranolds
boys, who were also accompanied by
several friends, on the public road. Van
called one of the Ranolds boys asi.le for
conversation. Loud words were soon
heard, and Van wa3 heard to call Ran
olds a liar. Ranolds placed his hands
behi . d him as if to draw a weapon,
when Van quickly whipped out a dirk
and was making a lunge with it at his
adversary. The lunge was cut short,
however, by a ringing report from across
the road and a bullet crashed through
Van's brain, killing him instantly. The
whites then left the spot, where the dtad
body of Pat Van was surrounde.l by his
terrorstrickea companions. In the cor
oner's trial, it was impossible to locate
the killing. The negroes were positive
thit the ball was fired by a white mar-,
and the whites charge that ths bullet
ready intended for young Ranolds
missetl its object and struck Van dead.
It is feaied that the negroes may make
reprisals for the tragedy, as they are be
ing inflamed by several colored orators.
Chicaso Switch engineers Dissat

resolved yesterday that the wages pro
posed to be paid by the transfer company
were too low. If a reduction from the
railrood scale is made, all will stop work

W orkl nuT V 1 uin ' Too Little.
There is a groat outcry to he heard at pres
ent about the danger of overtaxing the brain,
and in our restless age it doubtless is a posi
tive danger to be guarded against in the
young student no less than in the old and ex.
perienced worker, overwork often retiultiug
in calling so much more blood to the brain
than can be used there, that congestion, in
sanity and death result. But nothing has
been said about a danger that is the very
contrary of this, and that is the danger re
sulting to tha brain from no work at alL If
the one heats the brain too much, the otbe-r
heats it too little; it becomes, as an unused
muscle docs, flaccid and drained, and so com
paratively weak and useless. It "gets along"'
frequently from force of habit; but moke
any unusual demand and it collapses.
The brain may not at once develop its in
jury, as it is an affair of time, and many peo
ple manage with so little use of this special
organ that nothing is expected of them; but
the breaking down is on the way all the same,
end especially if unusual thought or action 1$
required, This js a danger peculiarly threat
ening among the rich and idle pf the com
munity, who often lead lives, after a while,

difTereaoe and ennui. In view pf the ppss!.

that every ne should seek some object of
interest ond healthy excitement. Charity

people, but even the pursuit of pleasure ia
this light acquires some value. Harper's

THE NATIVES OF INDIA.
Their Keinarkablo Thrift and Alteinl
oumittft I"ool and Clothing.
There Is no abstemiousness in the world,
a: id no thrift, like the thrift and abstemious
ness of the average native of India. Almost
alone among tho working men of the world,
lit) has raised himself nearly above wonts.
Las stripped himself of all the imjxHlimenta
of luxury. Millions of men in India, espe
cially on the richer soils and in .the river
deltas, live, marry, and rear apparently
healthy children uion an ineomo which, even
when tho wife works, is rarely above lis. a
week ami frequently sinks to lfvl. The In
dian is enabled to do this not so much by tho
cheapness of food for, though it is cheap, a
Euro)ean who ato the sumo food would want
five times the money merely to food hintx lf
us by a habit of living which makes him
independent of the ordinary cares of man
kind. ,
Ho goes nearly without clothes, gives his
children none, and dresses his wife in a long
piece of the most wretched muslin. Neither
lie nor hi3 wife pay tailor or milliner one
shilling during their entire lives, nor do they
ever purchaso needles or thread, which, i:
deed, it is contrary to a semi-religious eti
quette ever to use. The poorer jjeasant inhab
its a hut containing a single covered room
of tho smallest size, with an earthen plat
form or two outside it ; and as he constructs
and repairs his own dwelling he virtually
laya no rent, except for the culturable land,
lie never touches alcohol or any substitute
for it. There is an idou in England that ho
eats opium or hemp; but he, as a rule, swal
lows neither firstly, because ho regards them
with as much moral antipathy as any Eng
lish gentleman, and, secondly, because ho
could not by any possibility pay for articles
which in India, as everywhere else, are ex
ceedingly expensive
lie eats absolutely no meat, nor any animal
fat, nor any expensive grain like good wheat ;
but lives on millet or small rice, a little milk,
with the butter from the milk, and tho vege
tables he glows. Kven of these he eats more
sparingly tlian the poor&jt Tuscan. Once a
quarter, perhaps, he will eat enough, during
somo festival, but or. a rule he knows accu
rately what wilt Gustain him, and would bo
enra;ed with tho wife who cooks for him if
she prepared more. Ho is assisted in this
economy by a religious rule which wo have
never seen a Hindoo break, and which ti un
doubtedly, like tliw rule against killing oxen,
a burvival from a military law or custom of
the most remote untiquity. Tho .Spectator.
Standing o;i t!te Tor.
"Tidk about feats of strength! Why, a
woman can do something no man can per
form. I say a woman. Well, perhaps there
arc a dozen women olive who can accomplish
this feat in a Crst class fashion. I'm a great
believer in women aeroiiats myscif, cspeci
ally if they are pleasing to look upon." And
Junius Howe, Bolassy Kiralfy's riht hand
man, drew a hand reflectively through his
curly black hair and looked reminiscent.
"Kay, did you ever gee a man stand on one
toe? Don't recollect it, ch No, of course
you do not. I never heard of a man capably
of doing so, and I have been prying about tho
acrobatic field for tho last ten years endeav
oring to find a man who could stand in that
fashion. I doesn't seem much, does it? Yet
this is tho test of ail ballet premieres.
"There is something alnjut tho arehitocturo
of a man's foot that precludes tho possibility
of a masculine athlete executing this feat, but
a woman can do it because her ankle is natur
allj' stronger. And still there have not been
many dancers who could stand straight on
one toe. Probably fifty in all would com
plete the list. Three or four hundred others
have almost accomplished it, and hundreds
of coryphees have been able to make a sc-m-blanoo
of doing the act, but that is all. Un
less a child is instructed in dancing and bal
let movements bef oro the is 7 years old sho
can never hope to stand ou her first toe. Try
ao she may from young to old womanhood,
without having served an infantile appren
ticeship her role in life will be that of a cory
phee and no more." Detroit Tribune.
A Story from Roscoe Conkllng.
Rosooe Conkling sat in n theatre the other
evening. A hand was laid on his shoulder
from behind. It belonged to a certain highly
fashionable matron of his acquaintance, but
it was a large organ, notwithstanding that it
had never done any labor. "Yes, sir," said
Conkling, mistaking it for the hand of a man.
Then his eyes fell on the feminine sleeve at
tached to it, and ho confusedly murmured:
"I beg j'our pardon."
"Oh, no oifenso, I assure you," tho lady
good humeredly responded.
Mr. Conkling then said: "This reminds mo
of an actual case in which a mistake in the
gender of a man brought about a divorce
suit. A wifo had a laxe hand, and it hap
pened one evening that s:ho sat with her hus
band and several other , on a rural veranda.
Tho husband was smoking a cigarette, and,
as it was very dark indeed, the wife took it
from him for a surreptitious whiif. Now,
right alongside the couple sat a ilirtatious
girl. Khe and the man were oa sentimental
terms, but until now quite unknown to the
woman. Thl weij duvelvped hand of tho
wife, with tha cigarette, chanced to swing
into contact with that of the girl, who took
hold of it, thought from its size that it was
the husband's, ft-lt convinced of it by the cig
arette, and thereupon pred it to her lips,
rapturously believing that she was takii:g a
safe opportunity of the darkness. The eyes
of the wife were opened metaphorically, if
not physically; she watched tho joJr for a
few days, and an action for divoroo was soon
instituted." New York Sun.
