To fh< Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:

Of a patent secured eleven years ago, have at

tory OF that patent.
One Peter Durand, in England, patented, IN
1810,- the process Of packing by: OPEN rents; !;
while, in 1887, q II. Appert, in France, patented
tho process Of preserving with closed rents. In
1912, ono Iaaac Winslow, Of Philadelphia;
residing abroad, seems to have become acquainted
with these patents, and applied, in 1853, for 8

cesses above referred to,-which. 1t appears.

books.
His application for patent was rejected. He
afterwards sold out his rights to T. ". Jones,
and the whole matter was never heard from till
1862, when Isaac Winslow. assignor to John ".
Jones, suddenly acquired four patents, based on
the application rejected nine years previously ,
Corn-packing WAS then in it's infancy, and j.

GODFREY, H., June g. 1873.
Here, where nc are not troubled with steam
ships, railways; and other thoughts that shake
mankind, j" as in metropolitan cities, an anniver-
sary-day ut Monticello Seminary is an object oi
ALI Absorbing interest. 50 annually, but this
year particularly. Tho weather, walling,-every-
thing favored the twenty third Commencement.
Outside of the grand old structure, with ita
iviod easements and caatellated walls, Nature
shone brightly, as Art within The limbs Of the
longt BILE rank Of stately forost-trees shook
hands aoross the broad walk Leading down to The
college, with the same delight With which the
numerous guests we're welcomed. The anniver~
sory hall WAS radiant with eyerereens
sud resplendent with beauty. -"Iris" and
"In Right is Strength" the name
OF the class and the motto Of the
graduates. we're beautifully wreathed over the
centre Of the stage; and, at the usual hour, the
graduates, twelve In number, all asrsyed in
white, fled out upon the broad platform, and,
after prayer, compositions we're read by Misses
Horny, Niles, Balance, hampton, Campbell,
Worthington, Wilson, Price, Gushing, Greigg,
Hershy, West, Mcpike, aud Cox These were
varied by exquisite vocal and instrumental solos.

than those who had taken, or wore On the eve Of
taking leave OF their Alma Mater.
Miss Lampton's essay was touching retro
spect of childhoods days. The theme is as per
ennial as the composition was beautiful and it
found sympathetic throb in tho hearts Of all.
Following came Miss Emily Campbell, with .
delig ghtful little ROMANCE which elected universal
admiration. It was charming in conception and
delivery, and revealed brillinncy Of thought and
beauty OF diction rarely exce11ed. Miss Campbell
possesses 4 high order OF literary talont, which

of Life, ought not to gt,ilo:
The essay Of Miss Ella L. McPike-a prophecy

Western journalists feel chat they have been
defrauded of something they have justly
earned. An evening paper in Chicago states
their case in these words Newspaper men,
cas- rule, are not bloated bondholders-
wealthy aristOcrats. Their brains are their
principal possessions. They earn their living
with their pens. and while they do not ask
"a price for everything they write, they still
"expect qud pro quo for their labors, and
especially where large profits are gathered
i'm rs the result of their efforts.".
Now we need hardly say that this is entirely
at variance with THE TRIBUNE's theory OF
newspaper management. The true journalist
looks for no reward of that kind. lie writes
of public amusements and similar enterprises
solely in the interest of the public, and not
for the profit of managers. 1t is not his bust
ness to stimulate the curiosity of audiences,
but to tell them the plain truth about the en-
tertainments they are invited to witness. He
does not "expect qaid pro quo for his labors,
especially where large profits are gathered
Gin az result of his efforts"-On the con-
trary. he would resent the offer of any such
thing as an insult. He is disinterested OBJ
server. under a tacit obligation to his readers
TO tell them what he knows, without coloring
or prejudice; but the Chicago theory makes
him a partner in the enterprise of which he
falsely pretends to be critic.

GETTING An EQUIVALENT

There has been terrible grumbling and
scolding in Western newspaper Offices on ae-
count of the management Of the Resurrection
Jubilee in Chicago. The country journals
which pulled the enterprise for a while With
boundless iberalIty, have discovered that it
was after all nothing but sort of dis
reputable advertising job, entirely without
merit as o celebration, and rather damaging
upon the whole to the character of the city.
We confess that this yenomous sort of de,
nunciation rather took us by surprise. The
music of course was bad; but everybody
knew in advance that it must be. The festi-
val, nevertheless, came off just as it was ap.
pointed. The crowd, the cheering, the bunt-
ing, the ball, were all according 10 pro-
gramme. What was the matter
Fortunately the complaining newspapers are
frank enough to tell what allied them. They
received no courtesies" from the managers
whom they had aided so freely with their
pens. This was of course very shabby treat
ment, considering all things; but why should
the country editors complain When man
of spirit feels himself sighted, he does not
nublish the affront in the newspapers. He
wraps himself in his virtue and hides his I'M
happiness from tho world. The truth is the

4 BRIGAND or THE PRESS.

1t is to be hoped that the dispatch an
nouncing that NJ. Paul Granier de Cassagnac
has been seriously wounded in his duel with
NJ. Ranc, is not an exaggeration. This young
man has been pest in Paris for several
years. He has done, more to discredit the
character of French journalism than any other
person. He early formed his plan of campaign
and has adhered to it with singular fidelity.
He is one of the best fencers in Europe, and
relying upon that, he has made it his constant
practice to abuse with brutal personalities
every one who engages in discussion with
him, until, according to the Partisan idea
Of gentlemanly responsibility, one Is
forced to challenge the other. His
skill and experience have hitherto invariably
given him the advantage. He is, by long odds,
the first duelist in France, and has never been
touched before. Lieutenant Lullier once slapped
him after he had refused to fight with him,
but NJ. Granier simply called for the police.
When Vermorel declined duel with de Cas-
sagnac the latter spat in his face on the boule-
yard and described the exploit at length in his
paper His most notable duels were those with
FlOurens and Lissagaray. Flourens fought with
great energy for half an hour but finally fell
exhausted by his wounds In his fight with
Lissagaray, Cassagnac simply parted, refus
ing to expose himself until he had thoroughly
wearied out his antagonist. The fiery Gascon
losing his prudence and his strength together,
at last cried out, "Why don't you strike7 2" TO
which Cassagnac smilingly replied, THAT'S my
affair" AS soon as he saw that I.issagaray
was helpless from fatigue, he coolly ran him
through. On the 10Th Of August, 1868, when
the Emperor made up his jewels, the only
journalist who received the Legion of Honor
was this young ruflian. The Empress sent her
own Chamberlain NJ. de Cosse- Brissac, to con-
graduate him.

cans have been signed Paul de Cassagnao.
We have no means Of knowing what Is the
especial insult which proved intolerable TO M
Ranc, but tho Pays has not been sparlng Oh
its assaults upon him since his election a.
Deputy from Lyons. If it should result that
this scene in forest of Luxembourg should
prove TO be tho end of this violent and disor-
DERBY career, it cannot but be beneficial To
journalism in Paris. They will at least be
spared the anomalous spectacle Of furious
bravo sustaining a daily polemic against free
institutions, in the sacred name Of religion
and order.

This part Of the offense hightcns The
righteousness of the whole Transaction.
The objections placed by the Canadian Premier
in the way of full investigation of the cir
cumstances under which the Allan contract
was procured and the lack of zeal shown by
that official in his conduct OF tho affair will
be taken as strong circumstantial evidence
against him. How deeply other members of
the Government may be involved we are left
TO guess. The whole business ia new proof
of the corrupting power which may arise from
preat railway schemes.

Tho loss of the steamship City of Washing
ton, of the Inman line, reported in our col
unms, this morning, adds another to the long
list of shipwrecks on the bound coast OF
Nova Scotia, Fortunately no lives were ios.'
but the wreck Of such large and Wen
known ocean steamer will serve to deepen the
sense of insecurity already felt by those VINO
are fitting across the sea. The scene Vi 'no
disaster is not far from the LOCALITY maui
sadly memorable by the wrecKlng VI '"o
Atlantic. the City of Washington na'ins
strucl, ON the same coast, but seventy hiiie'
vost of Sambro Head. dense fog, banning
orrronts and loss of reckoning seem 10
bo,,a been the immediate causes OF the
d;saster We must wait a fuller account OF
ali the circumstances of the wreck before
forming any conclusion as to the management
of the ship. Meanwhile, let us be thanktui
that no life has been lost; so much, at least,
may be due to proper preparation and cool
conduct on board the wrecked steamship
We have before suggested, as the shortest
way out of the difficulty into which the Mayor
and Aldermen have managed to place them
selves relative to the Police Justices that the
Mayor withdraw the unfit nominations and
name Board of men in whom there is abso-
Lutte and implicit confidence Instead of tax
ing this short cut to the solution Of the ques-
ton, the Mayor now insists that the Aldermen
shall take the responsibility of rejecting his
nominees By all means let them not hesitate.
Several of Mayor Havemeyer's appointments
for this Office ought not to be confirmed, and
their rejection by the Board of Aldermen will
be justified At the same time failure to
act upon the nominations leaves the present
Justices, most of whom are unfit to hold office,
in positions of the greatest importance, and
thus blocks the reform which was begun a
year and half ago. The present attitude OF
the Aldermen makes them liable to the sus-
piciop of refusing to act in the interest OF
the present Police Justices, which is refiec-
ton upon their honesty they cannot afford
longer to endure.
