DIED FRom HIS INJuRIEs.-We regret 20

Learn that JAMES SMALL, a lad about IL years old,
who was kicked 10 the face by horse some days
since, died yesterday morning of inflammation on
the brain produced by the wound alluded to above.
The little fellow, it is sad bore his sufferDas with
heroic forlude, and seemed only to regret that he
had disobeyed his parents and thereby received
the injury which cost him his life. 1t will be re-
lnembered that he was riding in a bread cart, and
the lines becoming entapgled WITH the horses tail,
he attempted to release them, when he was kicked
in the face by the beast severing the bridge of his
nose and probably fractuIing his skull.

There is no prospect that the Mirror will sue
coed in its laudable design. Some people are
nothing without their personalities, and are
never happy unless they can say illnatured
things whether true or false they care not,
so that there is prospect of annoying their
antagonists. Their object is not to arrive at
the truth, but to make their opponent in ar
gument feel as uncomfortable as a contem-
plation of their natures must render them
selves. The Mirror therefore need not ex

IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION.


The late decision in the highest English
Court, in the case of Jeffrey VS.. Boosey, land
which we have before noticed, will, it is
said, very seriously initiate against Ameri-
can authors, some of whom will suffer to the
tune of more than $4,000 each by the deci-
sion. Among others, the sanity Mrs. Stowe,
who has made merchandise of the reputation
of her country, is likely to lose some $4,000
by her last work. 1t is suggested by con-
temporary, that such an instance of ill-for-
tune will not be a very Sunny, Memory to
her.
We are heartily glad that the English Court
has rendered this decision, and trust it may
be the means of leading to the enactment of
laws in both countries by which authors will
hereafter reap the legitimate fruits of their
learned and literary labors. 1t has always
seemed to us rank injustice and robbery that
the productions of the great writers and
scholars of England should be lawful plum
der as soon as they arrive in this country, for
any body who can lay hands On them They
have more readers here than at home they
spread instruction and pleasure through the
minds of millions here, where they reach
thousands in Great Britain, and yet, they are
deprived here of all legal claim to single
dollar for the rich fruits of their genius, which
are consumed in this country. Time was
when no one in England read an American
book, and as our own authors did not suffer
from the neglect of our country to do Justice
to foreign authors, no computations were
felt upon the subject. But as it is now the
fashion in England to read American books,
the money nerve, which is often found in di.
rect communication with the conscience, will
no doubt awaken all the interested parties in
the United States, to the value of honesty
and the beauty of fair play. We care not
what the motive, so the result be attained,
and the authors of both countries secured in
the rewards of their own labors In that
event, the decision in the case Jeffery Vs.
Bocsey will give fresh and powerful impe-
tus to the cause of literature in both the Old
World and the New

A SHORT RoMANcE.-The following ro-
mantle incident is said to have occurred
few years before the Russian conquest OF
Armenia. The Sirdar fell violently in love
with beautiful Armenian maiden. and de-
manded her from her parents. Their sup
plications and those of the girl herself were
unavailing; for, although she had lover,
she was not formally betrothed she was
consequently carried off to the harem Dur
ing the night, her lover entered the palace
gardens, and in a low voice commenced
singing beneath the windows of the harern,
in the hope that she would hear him. Soon
a window was opened, and some one leaped
out. Fearing that his singing had betrayed
him, he fled but as he heard nothing more,
he crept back, and found his beloved caught
in the branches Of a tree, which had broken
her descent to the ground. He helped her
down. and they prepared for flight but being
overheard, they were pursued and caught,
and in the morning they were brought before
the Sirdar When the latter had heard the
circumstances of the case. he exclaimed,
81 see that in the sight Of God you were
already betrothed. Lovers SO true should
never be parted. Live happily together.
and God be with you"

pear SO strange that Elder Adams should ap-
pear on the stage, as we'll as in the pulpit
A few months ago theatrical presentations
were given at Utah, as a part of the fare
well exercises on the departure of mission
aries to distant stations, inconsistent as it
may appear in the eyes of other sects. Elder
Adams was star in the theatrical frma-
mant as we'll as the religious and the fol-
lowing anecdote is told of his Thespian ex-
periences:
He was paying star engagement in one
of the large towns in Massachusetts. When
his benefit night came, he selected his great
character of Richard ILL.,, in which to greet
his numerous friends. The house was
crowded, and Richard was himself again.
The elder never played SO fiercely, the tyrant
never exhibited his deformities so conspicu-
ously, never offered his kingdom for a
horse - SO eagerly. The audience were cleo
trifed, and The curtain went down amid
thunders Of applause.
Cries of adams! Adams Speech
Speech reverbarated through the house.
The tragedian, meanwhile, had retired to his
dressing-room, stripped his royal robes from
off his shoulders, and was busily engaged
wiping the perspiration from his heated face.
But the cries still continued, and the mana
ger, the veteran Dinneford, rushed into the
room in a high state Of excitement.
For Gods sake, Adams What are you
about? Don't you hear the row in front 3
Go on, go on, and say something, or they'll
stamp the house down
Thus impelled, the elder started in his
shirt sleeves, which were rolled up, his face
still dripping with water, and appeared be-
fore the curtain.
His appearance was greeted with renewed
applause. Adams stepped down to the foot
lights, and began speech with "Men and
brethren = The subject of his speech was
the intimate connection between the drama
and the preached gospel. At its conclusion
he held up the right hand and said p" Let
us prayI' The audience were hushed in
profound stiffness at the novelty of the
scene, and the impressiveness and fervor OF
the elders prayer.
He finished the prayer, and then with
both arms extended, he said: "The congre-
CATION will please rise and be dismissed" p
The audience rose and received the benedic-
ton, and retired as orderly as congregation
on sacrament day. 1t was not until after
they had reached the open air, that the su-
preme righteousness Of the scene just enact
ed struck the people on the head. AS soon
however, as it got through their hair, peals
and peals of laughter echoed through the
streets, as group after group sought their
own homes. The elder felt happy that night
He had killed two birds with one stone
had given the people good play, good
scrap of doctrine, good prayer, and had
dismissed them with blessing,

NEW WAY OF RAISING STEAM.-The new
machinery of the Collins steamer Arctic is
to work on different principle from en-
gines in ordinary use. Instead of conveying
the steam directly from the boiler to act up
on the piston, it is taken to seperate cham
Der, and heated out Of contact l0ith lOater.-
This givesit temperature some 400 0 high
er, and nearly ten times more elastic force.
This dry or super-heated steam is combined
with portion of ordinary steam, and the
compound drives the engine. The saving
that this improvement is intended to effect is
in fuel; for of course it requires less to heat
the vapor separately, than to heat the water
and vapor together. This principle has long
been talked of, but we believe it has never
before been practically applied on any ex-
tended scale. An incidental advantage of
no small consequence to ocean steamers, Is
the reduction in the amount of coal they
now have to be loaded with, to the detri-
ment of their speed as well as the loss of
space.

The vegetarians are again in our midst,
says Philadelphia correspondent, and to-
tarians profess to found their hygiepic
principles upon the anatomical structure
of the human body, and upon the physio-
logical properties and functions thereof
also upon the chronological connection OF
mind with the organs of thought and passion,
which are intimately united with the psy CO.
logical doctrine of mans spiritual nature
Thus they endeavor to show that mans
highest moral and most holy attributes can
be best and most BEAUTIFULLY developed by
living solely on fruits, farina, and the pro-
ducts of the vegetable kingdom.
