The most recent wo rk by Darwin is pub

Expression of Emotions in Man and AMI
mails This of course is an elaborate work,
for which the author fitted himself by study
ing what others had written upon the subject,
by inquiries in all directions, and by long and
careful observation. Why men laugh, weep,
| distort their faces in anger, and manifest all
signs of emotion which they do; and why
| dogs swag their tails, horses lay back their
| ears, and why other animals exhibit emotion
| by their actions; these and kindred matters
are what the author treats upon. The origin
of these expressions is discussed. 1t is in
teresting to know that when our fathers were
monkeys they probably laughed and scowled,
| but that many of the ways in which we now
| express emotion do not date back to the mon
| key period of the human family, having been

exchange Of newspapers among publish

TO country newspaper offices, curtailing
their advantages TO the loss Of their sub

expense, and may profit by the damage
inflicted on country papers.

DECISION AFFECTING PUBLISHERS.
Judge Shepley of the United States Dis
trict Court has recently given a decision
affecting the rights Of publishers, in the case
of Fields Osgood & Co. of Boston VS.. E. c.
Allen & Co. Of Augusta, the facts in relation
to which are briefly stated in the Boston Adj
vertiser as follows:
Fields, Osgood 4 Co. now J. r. Osgood
& Co. of this city, have published monthly
for number of years an illustrated magazine
for boys and girls, entitled, "Our Young
Folks" The publishers have taken out a
copy right of each number as it came out,
according to law. Edward c. Allen, pub
Usher in Augusta, has also since October /,
1871, published an illustrated paper for young
people, under the title of s'Our Young Folks
Illustrated paper The two publications are
in no respect similar, except in the use of the
words "Onr Young Folks" as part of the
title. Field, Ossood & Co. accordingly
brough, suit in equity in the district Of
Maine, to prevent the Augusta publisher from
using that title. They contended that they
were entitled to a remedy under the law Of
copyright, and also had right to the exelu-
siye use of the name, according to the doc
trire Of trade marks applied to the pro-
lection Of literary publications. Judge Shop
ley has decided that tie copyright protected
under the law is the copyright in the "book
and not in the title, except so far as the title
is part of the book that the right secured
by the copyright act is the property in the
literary composition, the product of the mind
and genius of the author, and not in the name
or title given TO it." Upon the other ground,
however, that the complainants had a proper
ty in the title as trade mark, the judge has
decided that they are entitled to relief, if it
shall be made to appear that the public are
likely to be misled by the illustrated paper,
so as to be induced to purchase it instead Of
the magazine.

bon. John had the lines thrown
around his body, and wrapped about
his wrists, the cold making the colts
capricole and frisk along in a most un.

years, driving a team of heavier hor-

to Berlin was made without trouble
When near the school house, a lad
named Hiserodt came trotting along
behind. Courtney's team. stam-
peded and made off at mad rate
The colts, to which he was unaltera-

and banged his head against a post

The great so-called Independent
journals of Chicago, tie Tribune and
Times have sickened badly over their
attempt in that city to run a party of
their own. Their overwhelming de-
feat is an emetic that would do them
good if they had any composition in
their make up, which would permit
Of reformation. They would strike
down the Republican party, which
contains the best elements Of citizen
ship ever drawn together in any par
~ in this country, and now they can
sec how their internal work has
panned out. The Tribune in its issue
Of the 9th inst, the next day after its
defeat at home, where it is best known,
leaves the subject with faint notice,
and goes again to its vomit and glor-
jos at the defeat of Republicans in
Some of the States. II the Tribune
would step squarely into the Demo-
cratic party, where 1t really belongs,
Il would at least have the merit OF
honesty.
Ottumwa weekly courier. (Ottumwa, Wapello County, Iowa) 1872-1899, 1873-11-13

That those who have been disposed
to leave the Republican party may rm-
derstand what they are seeking to
place in its stead, as we have all along
told them, read the following from the
New York World, the most promi-
nent organ of democracy in the coun-
try. This language is held just after
the October elections;
"We havo redeemed Ohio, redeem
ed Oregon made gains In Pennsylva-
MIA carried the municipal election in
Newark which insures the early re-
demption Of New Jersey; and tho Re.
publican party is weakened and shat
tered in Iowa. Awaiting fuller re-
turns before going into minute arith-
metical estimates, there are certain
important conclusions which it is al
ready safe TO draw.
First. The Liberal Republicans, as
an organized party, haye taken no root
in American politics, and have no ele-
ment of growth on which they can
build any hopes for the future. 1t is
certain that they cannot be the nucleus
of future opposition to the Admins
tration of General Grant.
Second. The idea that the Democra-
cy will disband and dissolve their or
ganization, is an exploded idea. The
opposition party, for the next four
years, will be the Democratic party,
and no other party. The hundreds of
thousands of citizens who have been
waiting and watching, holding back
from joining the Democratic organiza-
| ton in the expectation that it would
be supplanted by some other, will now
see that they are reduced to a choice
| between the same two great parties
| which have been arrayed against each
other for so many years. The Demo
cratic party and the Republican party
are to be the only two national parties
Of the next four years.
| Third. The success OF tho Demo-
cratic party is in proportion to the
courage and steadiness with which it
maintains its distinctive principles
Our most signal success has been in
| Ohio, where the party has stood most
| firmly on its own proper ground
Grant carried Ohio last fall, by 37,53l
majority; and now we have certainly
carried the Legislature, and the State
| officers too.
Fourth. The Democracy gain by q
bold and active canvass, and have
nothing to fear from the zeal and ability
OF their opponents. Tho Republicans,
as well as the Democrats, have made q
vigorous campaign in Ohio, bringing
out Morton, Sherman, and their heavi-
est guns. But they have beeu unable
to stand against tho bold Democratic
onset, led by Senator Thurman. AS
splendid results may be achieved else.
where if the party elsewhere will be
equally bold, vigorous and aggressive
| EVth. The Democratic party il
strengthened by eourageonsly prasen-
ting the Free Trade issue. The Ohio
platform was sound on this vital point
and the party won great victory
The PennsylyaniasD Democracy dropped
out the Free trade plank of the plat.
form, aud, though making gains, they
have been defeated
