ENGLISH COPYRIGHT LAVA very impor-
tant decision has been recently rendered In the
English House of Lords in q question of copy
right. The decision Is, that work composed
by en- alien cannot be copyrighted in Great
Britain unless the author is residing within the
Queens dominions, and owing allegiance to her
a. the time Of its publication in Great Britain.
This decision is of the greatest Importance TO
all American authors and publishers. It is
gwen, too by the highest Judicial authority in
the kingdom, and is not subject to review or
repeal. Il may therefore be taken as English
Law hereafter, that Americans cannot take out
copyrights of their works in Eoglend unless
they go there to I've, or at least are residents
there at the time of their publication.

which is now pending The Chair before sug-

VALUE OF CARROTS FOR MILK Cows
Messrs. Eds I'll have tried feeding carrots to
milk cows, and will give you one of my ex-
penments. l have, april l5th,) seven cows
in milk-one calved in June, the rest in Sep
TENDER and October. l raised eighty bushels
of rutabagas and four hundred bushels Car
rets, and fed them. to my cows, commencing
the first OF December. l gave them 2 IL
bushels per day, at noon, the rutabagas first,
and when they were all fed out, the same guam
tity Of carrots. l found, when had fed the
latter lew days, that my COWS We're each
giving from two to three pints of milk more
per day, than when fed on rutabagas. was
feeding my COWS, meanwhile, with cut hay,
and lbs. oil cake and meaL and IL lbs.
wheat screenings, ground. The thought struck
me that should like to know the value of
carrots for making milk, SO l selected the COW
that calved last, fer the trial. weighed the
hay, meal, and carrots, and fed perhaps 20 lbs,
OF hay, IL lbs. mixed meal, and % lbs. of
carrots, and she gave IS lbs. of milk per day.
L then left off the carrots and gave the same
amount of meal and all the hay she would
eat, which was 80 lbs. per day. After feed
ing so for a week, l found she gave 90 lbs. of
milk per day. item gave her the carrots as
before and IN eight or ten days she came up
again to So lbs. of milk per day.
This shows that carrots are worth to me to
feed cows, 80 cents per 100 lbs. Lay is worth
$50 pei ton i'll the barn, and at cents per

Il have written some bitter things of men

graves l could shed tears of sorrow and re-
greet. All when ! look back through the
twenty-six years o. my editorial life, and

forwards became my personal friends, and how
many once eulogized and toiied for who
have since turned their hands ruthlessly and
causelessly against me; when | reflect how
often the most arduous and devoted political
services are forgotten by those to whom they
are rendered, and how often the deepest DO.

those to whom they are done and when 7
remember how many of my political friends
have striyen to crush me, and how many
democrats have gathered around me as band

SINGULAR COUPLE. Along with my broth
er, who was collecting matter for a work he
was about to publish, visited the interest,"
ing town OF misunderstanding at least to
him, for it was fine field for historical re-
search, although, for my own part, l found
little to admire beside its ancient church. The
circumstance which, more than anything else,
obtained the dingy town lasting place in my
memory, was our taking a lodging with an
extraordinary pair, an old man and woman
who lived by themselves, without child or
servant subsisting on the letting of their par
Tor and two bedrooms They were tall, thin,
and erect, though each seventy years of age.
When we knocked at the door fol- admittanoe,
they answered it together if we rang the bell,
the husband and wife invariably appeared side
by side; all our requests and demands were
received by both, and executed with the ut
most nicely and exactness.
The first night, arriving late by the coach
from Newcastle, and merely requiring good
hire and our tea, we were puzzle to UNDER
stand the reason of this double attendance
and l remember my brother rather irrever-
emily, wondering whether we :" were always
to be waited upon by these Siamese twins
On ringing the bell, to retire for the night,
both appeared as usual; the wife carrying the
bedroom candlestck, the husband standing
az tht uOOi. gave neF some ulrecLOnS ABOUT
breakfast for the following morning, when the
husband. from the door, quickly answered for
her. Depend upon it, she is dumb, whisp.
cred my brother. But this was not the case,
though she rarely made use of the faculty of
speech.
They both attended me in my bedroom
when the old lady, seeing me look with some
surprise towards her husband, said: There's
no offence meant, ma am, by my husband
coming with lue into the chamber-he's stone
blind" 1t3
"Poor man !" l exclaimed. "l,ut why,
then, does he not sit still Why does ne &C.
company you everywhere
:" It's no use, ma am, your speaking to my
old woman" said the husband "she can't
hear you--shes quite deaf af
was astonished Here was compensation
Could pair be better matcheds Man and
wife were, indeed, one flesh; for he saw with
her eyes, and she heard with his ears ! 1t was
beautiful to me ever after to watch the old
man and woman in their inseparableness.
Their sympathy with each other, was as swift
as electricity, and made their deprivation as
naught.
have often thought of that old man and
woman, and cannot but hope that as in life
they were inseparable and indispensable to
each other, so in death they might not be di-
vided, but either be spared the terrible calam-
ity of being alone in the world Chambers
