read In evidence, authorizing the uie of
Sixth atroot by laying two tracks and op
erating its road thereon, and it (loos not
conllict tho charter clauno jimt read.
Tho cntiro authority contorrod upon de
fendant road is accompanied with thin iin-
Iilioil rjualilleation, that its rond shall not
mi ao operated or managed as to unread
onubly interfere with or dinturb tho peace
ful or comfortable enjoyment of other, in
tho utto of their properly, (irantsof priv
ilegea or powers to corporate bodio.n liku
those claimed herein confer no liceiiHo to
lino thcui in disregard of tho privalo
right of others nnd with immunity from
their invasion. The great principle of tin)
common law which in equally tho teach
ing of Christian morality, so to uso one's
properly an not to injure another, forbids
any other application or me of the rights
and poweis conferred.
I'liiloublcilly a ia 'I way over tho public
higliwnys of the city may bo autlwri.'d by
the Mate, and w iien coiihlruclcil strictly in
pursuance of the authority, and used with
reasonable c ire, it pro lores only thai in
cidental ineouvenieiii'ii which unavoida
bly follows tlio additional occupation of
the street for lb" passage of its cam, with
the noises and disturbances necessarily nl
tending such use, No olio can complain
that such use is a nuisance for w hich a re
covery at law can he had. Tho privnto in
convenience in hiicIi noun mint be Buf
fered fur ho public ai'commoilation.
if however it violates its charter or its
contract rights it in liable.
It cannot run its cars and engines at a
greater rate ol Hpeed over ritli street than
six miles an hour.
It cannot park or stand its cam for any
great length of timii on (sixth street.
It cannot use Sixth street for depot or
terminal facilities or (orswitcliiug.
It has no authority to use hixlh strcut
exclusively for any purpmu.
It linn no authority to lay mora than two
tracks iu Sixth street, even though it.might
(m ilitate the clearing of tho street when
using it in strict accordance with their
charter and contract.
It cannot impair plainliir right of In
gress or egiesH lo or from Inn prcunn"S.
Nor w ill any incidental benefit arising from
tbo construction ol tho road, such as in
creilKe in tho value of tho property, In) a
net-oil' to any damages plainlill may have
sull'ered under any one of thu bonds just
mentioned.
So that if volt am satisfied fioin tin)
proof that thn street has been excessively
UHcd by defendant ill parking its ears,
operating its ro.i I for the regular trains or
in switching iu any way, or in running at
a higher rate of sccd than nix miles an

from bin properly has been hindered or
obstructed to bis discomfort and iiiiuoy
iinett and injury to In business bv sucli
ue, plainlill would Im' entitled to recover
such damage as the evidence satislles you

It you lind from Uio evidence that tbo
glade of Sixth street bud not been pro
viounly llxed bv tho city and that wlieu
defendant iH'gati its Work in tbo construc
tion ol Hn road; tho grade wan given by
the City I'.ngineer, acting for the city, nnil
the defendant road was required loom,
form to that grade, then it in not liable for
liny daiiiago lesiilling from raising tho
street In the grade.
If on thn oilier band the evidence sat
isfies you that the grado of the slns't had

LONGMAN'S "MEMORIES. " .
A Memphraii'i? First Original Picture at
the sv-nlqkaaaw Clubrooma.
There ia hw-hnnging on the walls of the
Cliickusaw'(unVds Armory a picture but
recent'y arrived from runs, and as tuo
work of a MiidiubU ninii deserves more
than pnssinj uii-iUion.
Tho arti h Mr. J. Ii. uuicman. a

Cierome. '
This is Mr, Longman's first original
picture, iitiij It was much ugaiust the ad
vice of his 'inilsler that it was sent to
America instir-au' of being exhibited iu tho
salon, l or so vsiuu ' nn nrtist tho work is
wonderfully clever both iu conception and
execution. " The title is ".Memories," and
takes ils motif from a sad-faced and grace-
lul woman w ho. with her buck to tho Hood
of light pouring ihtuiigli tho armorial win
dows, reads a package of old letters, Tho
artist bos iriven to this figure a newt nat
ural poso and case, and it faults thcro aro,
tits iluippv execution should ntouo (or IU
Tbo color tone is iinoihcr commendable
Icaline, lor beyond thu hluisli green car
pet mid tho geranium lilon-soui thcro in
nothing to oivo a touch of brightness,
Vet all this is comim-ndahly adjusted, and
a pleasing impression is left upon tho
spectator. I'rohahly his otic glaring fault
lies in his composition. Ho had un ideal,
whn l lie has not been true to; this is no
ttceahlu and marked. There must bo
strong encouragement for an artist who,
tiuiicr lint lew years ol instruction, can
produce such a striking work.
Tho Krciich Hrhool open lo him nil tbo
advantages which bis artistic nature do
mauds, and no surprise would bu ex
pressed wero j. ii. Ujiignmn yet to gam a
