Decision in the Great India II ubber Case.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23--There has seldom been a
decision of much Importance to the public and those
Immediately concerned that made in the Patent Of
flee to-day by the Commissioner of Patents The APP
pIica'ion 10 extend Goodyear's India Rubber Patent
for years dismissed and the public will here
after have free of the invention
From careful perusua Of the decision it appears
that it is likely to carry with it the subsequent patent
which is Immediately dependent on this, sulphur be-
ing in lispenSahe in both patents There is appeal
the law of 1913 giving no exclusive power to the
commissioner. The interest involved exceeds S. ,00O,
600. This is a great triumph for Horace FL. Day,
who was proved by thirteen witnesses to be the prior
inventor.

WThe Pittsburgh Saturday Visitor,
by its correspondent, thus speaks of one
part of the gallery Of the Crystal Palace
devoted to fine arts:
In one gallery there is Powers Fishing
Boy" and the far famed "Hero and LIE
ander," the only instance we have ever
witnessed in which the artist has succeed
ed in transferring the love-passion to mar
BILE without making it disgusting. The
expression is SO perfectly pure, the atti-
tudes SO exceedingly natural and grace
ful, that one forgets the great lack of dra-
perry in the place, and forgets how very
it is that Hero would have met
her lover after his fatigueing exploit with
out some warm garment to protect him
from the chill atmosphere, or that she
should have been there herself without
clothes
His WEAKNESS and intense repose, as
his head lies on her neck and shoulder,
her protecting, plying, yearning, adoring
love, is SO expressed in the cold, white
marble, that one might easily be betrayed
into weeping afresh at their sorrows.

MINING IN GENERAL.-It is useless to
attempt to ''make note.'' of all the re-
ports that reach US from the different mi
ming and fuming companies in these dig
gins. Nearly all are very favorable and
many of them a leetle more so. The whole
matter may be summed up in few words
all claims that we have heard of are
paying wages, and, very many of them,
piles. A continuance of our present fine
weather for month longer, is all that is
asked for on the part of fiuning gcompanies,
to satisfy their most arpent desires for
this season. They will then be prepared
to take out their fumes and wheels, and
vacate their river claims for hill diggings,
till another spring shall permit them to
work the same claims with equal success.
The idea of working OUT river claim
has become obsolete. Not until the bed
of the Yuba becomes dry, not until the
rains and SHOWS and storms cease to wash
from the hills above US the golden depos-
its into the stream beneath, can it be said
that our river claims have "drled up

SENs1BLE.-Captain Mcclure, while
making the ''North> West Passage" had
an interview, at Point Warren, with wild
tribe of Arctic Indians, the Chief of whom,
being asked why he went a great distance
to trade with the Esquimaux, instead of
trading with the posts on Mackenzie's river,
said the reason was that the white men
there had given the Indians very bad water,
which killed many and made others foolish,
and that they would not have any such
water! Think Of that, ye hardy men of the
fortieth latitude, who think bad water es-
sential to keep out the cold! This teetotal
bear-skin chief, with brass buttons for ear
rings, sitting on an iceberg in the Polar
Sea, should be at once installed Great

COMMON SCHOOLS IN SAN FRANCISCO
From the valedictory report Oft. J. Nevins,
Superintendent of the City Public Schools
of San Francisco, we CLEAN the following
items:
There are now in the limits of that city,
about 5000 Children of suitable ages for the
schools, and accommodations for no more
than 1OO The Common School depart
ment owns but one school house, the other
rooms being rented at exhorbitant rates,
and many of them totally unfit for the pur-
pose. Salaries of female teachers, 800
per month; males, $3.50; superintendent's
salary, 800.
A proposition for the establishment of a
house of refuge, for juvenile delinquents
is stongly urged upon the city authorities.
The schools are ODE re-opened on Mon
dav, the 31st of October

North CAROLINA COAL GAs-The ex-
pertinent made on Tuesday evening last,
oflighting the village of Greenport, near
Williamsburg, New York, with gasmade
solely from North Carolina coal, proved
highly successful. The retorts were chang
ed eight times in twenty -four hours, while
the best Newcastle ENG. coal will only
permit of six, giving to the North Carolina
coal the advantage of two changes per day
to each retort. Anumber of gentleman pre-
sent, whose practical knowledge of the
subject gives some weight to their opinion,
pronounced it to be the best gas they had
ever seen, to which Mr.. Baxter, the super
incident of the works, adds that the North
Carolina coal is the best in the world Of
gas.

BEYoURsELF.-Insist on yourself, new
er initiate. Your own gift you can pre-
sent every moment with the commulative
force of whole life's cultivation; but of
the adopted talent of another, you have
only an extemporaneous, half possession.
That which each can do best, none but his
Maker can teach him. No man yet knows
what it is, nor rcan till that person has ex-
hibited it. Where is the master who
could have taught Shakespeare? Where
is the master who could have Instructed
Franklin, or Washington, or Bacon, or
Newton? Every great man is unique
The Scipionism of Scipio is precisely that
part he could not borrow. Shakespeare
will never be made by the study Of Shaks-
peare Do that which is assigned you,
and you cannot hope too much. There is at
this moment for you an utterance brave
and grand as that of the collosal chlsel OF
Phidias, or trowel of the Egyptian, or the
pen of Moses, or Dante, but different
from all these. Emerson.

WThe cholera has made its appear
ance at New-Orleans. That unfortunate
city having hardly got rid of the yellow
fever, is now visited by this new scourge.
We trust it may notlong afflict her, though
there is no reason to suppose that its raw
ages can be so fatal as those of the pesti-
lence it succeeds. But the breaking out
of this epidemic in any city in the coun-
try should be a warning to all, and espe-
cially to New York. 1t tells us that we
must purify our streets and remove from
them the filth that testers and generates
disease. If we would not have the chol-
era here next summer let US be wise in
time and not only give the City thorough
cleansing now, but keep it decent hearaf-
