DECISION OF A VExED QUEsTIoN.-Lord
Cairns has given decision affecting the
vexed question of copyright Miss Cum
MINIS citizen of the United States, while
staying in Canada, published in England
her work, Haunted Hearts" which was
duly registered The question came up
for discussion in threefold form Whether,
in order to obtain copyright, must publ
cation take place What is the era over
which the copyright extends? And who is
entitled to the copyright? The Lord Chan
cellor held that the publication must take
place in the United Kingdom; that the pro-
lection extends over the whole British do
minions; and that every one published in
the United Kingdom is entitled to the pro-
lection of the act, no matter where he may
be resident. The other law lords concur
red In the decision. The decision on the
last point is of considerable importance.

An INCIDENT IN REAL LFE.-Ouit

| AN INCIDENT IN REAL LIFE.-Quite an eX-
citement has been created in Northern Hi
nois lately. Some time since lovely and
highly educated daughter of clergyman
in Albany, n. Y, disappeared from her
home and no trace Of her could be found.
A friend of the f'nlly at Quincy, ILL.,, when
Yankee Robinsons circus was exhibiting
there, discovered the girl in the ballet
troupe of the circus, going through the
evolutions of Uadine with all the abandon
of the troupe. The gentleman immedi-
ately telegraphed to the girls father, who
came on, met the circus company in an
other town, and found that his daughter
was really there He discovered, also, that
the girl who had been at boarding school,
had become infatuated with the tinsel
of circus ring rider, had eloped with and
married him, and gone with him upon the
stage for living. The father met the
daughter and entreated her to leave the
troupe and go home with him, promising
that all should be forgiven. The girl
readily consented if her husband could go
with her, but one of the provisions was that
she should leave him This she refused to
do, preferring to cling to her husband and
the stage rather than enjoy the comforts of
home in Albany. The distress of the
father was not sufficient to overcome his
preiudices against the husband, and as his
tears and entreaties were unavailing, he
was forced to leave his daughter in the ex-
citing life she had chosen, and return
sorrowfully home. Mr.. Robinson pictured
to the girl the vicissitudes of the life
she was leading and advised her to follow
the advice of her father, but she persist
emily refused, declaring that nothing would
induce her to desert her husband. She Is
described as a girl of striking beauty, not
yet twenty years of age, very modest in her
demeanor. but completely full of the ro-
nance of life, and infatuated with the cheap
dazzle of the ring. Her husband is young
man of sober and industrious habits, and
an excellent performer. Ladies at places
where the circus has been have as vainly
as the father sought to turn the young wife
from the life she has chosen.

owners had at various times caused excava-
tons TO be made, but without success, and
