Mr.. Lien took up the idea that he was q

his friends hat he was anything olse but
the handy shufier that could raise q
'tfull" or "f0uEs" at will; still. persisted
that he had the History Of the Four Kings
down finer than smoke, and went in; he
dropped six or seven hundred dollars, and
then came out; he asked of the papers q
denunciation Of the winners, which was
cheerfully and vigorously made; he
"kicked for his money" and went to law
with the three friends who had sat ct table
with him the long night through; he be-
seeched the papers to impress upon the
public the necessity of his securing tudR-
mens against his opponents, and the jury
was directly appealed to in double-lesded
editorials to give IAsn q verdict; he gained
his suit, and bored the papers with g card
OF thanks to the Jury. Some n said that
l. was too big q fool to make csrd-playtng
pay, and I. had the slandereE
skinned through the papers, and straight
way began to prove that he was g

M'coMss IRON TIE.
The Rees1t Decision of the COurt-Ir-
frinSements.

It Is frequently the case that inventors
of the most useful articles, which ave
millions Of dollars to producers, and thus
to the world at large, after spending their
talents, energies and means for the sue
ceszful introduction thereof, die poorer
by so much than they were before, and
others, following after, rob from the
Tightful ones the great profits resulting
from the manufacture. We are led to
these remarks rom q paragraph publish
ed in the APPEAL q few days since in RS
relation to q recent decision in the
United States circuit court in New
Orleans, granting ~injunctions against
the infringers of the "Cook" patent,
now owned by J. J. McComb, and when
we saw this we were reminded that
"Cook" himself, and the now owner OF
his patent, are none b less i%nfringers on
the patented rights of David McComb, de-
South are indebted for the saving annually
of from five to ten millions Of dollars In
the difference between the cost ofiron ties
and the varying values of rope, besides
the vast decrease in wastes of insurance,
Early in the year of 1885 David MoOomb,
in this city, conceived and put into execu-
ton his invention of an "iron-tie" fol-
bsling cotton, and from that time to the
breaking out of the late war, devoted his

his hopes in the distance, Constant and
untiring in his labors of love among the
Confederate prisoners in hospital here, he
wss stricken with q malignant form o.
smallpox, and died in February, 1854.
ct the close of hostilities, others, steal
ing his idees, commenced their piracy on
his patented rights, and owing to the lack
of mesns of his family to stop them, have
ever stree been fattening thereon, while
the widow and children have never re.

Such 4 record is certainly of small CON-
fort to inventive genius, We are glad tC

Passion SUNDAY

Is commemorsted by the Catholic and
Episcopal churches as the day on which
our Divine Lord rode into Jerusalem In
triumph, while the people spread palm
branches in his course, and carried them
in their hands a. an emblem of victory
and peace, while they sang "Hosannsh to
the Son OF DAVidi Blessed ia He that
cometh in the name Of the Lordf HosGn-
nah In the highestI" l. Is In eOmmemo-
ration OF this that palm branches are dis
tributed in all the Catholic churches. The
history.o the Passion, according 70 Saint
Mathew, Is also read in the mass every
where. The day is q very solemn one,
and the week that follows has always
been regarded as q week Of sorrow and
gloom, fasting and prayer, which ceases
only on Monday morning, when the
joyful and glorious resurrection is com
memorsted throughout Christendom.

JOKE ON DR. TAYLOR.

A. nine O'Clock yesterday morning a

that there was q person at the station
house who required bis services, and
limited that blood had been shed, He did
this purposely, in order to beget q serious
turn of mind In the doctor, n II posi-
bic dispose him 70 a peaceful solution OF

bound to prevent tbs contemplated dis
turbance, and In consequence was re-
~luctantly compelled to hold his prisoner
until he could enter into bonds to keep
the peace. The doctor ssid nothing, but
let things have their way until he was
taken before the recorder to furnish the
required bond. It was then past ten
O'Clock, and the doctor felt that the time
had come when he might speak, be said
there would be no necessity for any tor-
mality at all, as he was not tire man, and
the affair was settled one way or another
at that hour. The FAMILIES" that fol-
