A FRENCH CITY AND FRENCH METHODS.
The New York World hits moro of a
truth in the following words than it really
suspects itself:
IL is difficult Cor people who have not actually
lived in New Orleans to understand how complete
ly the manners and customs OF the France uf the
eighteenth century have becemea part OF the social
life Of that unique and fascinating city. In these
respects the capital Of Louisiana is foreign Guy
to Americans born in II or accustomed 10 II by
long residence.
Under this undoubted truth. there lies g
good deal of political philosophy as well as
social phenomena. New Orleans is essen
TALLY French city. Its white inhabitants
are very largely of French descent. with
French traditions. French IDEAS and French
ways of doing things. Their social life and
their public action belong to the French type.
The French training and method they
carry into their political action. 1t serves
to explain much Of what is so foreign to the
American way Of managing and which has
produced 30 much trouble. When the
ffenchmen Of Paris don't like an existing
Government, they don't wait for lawful
process, bat try corp d'staf. That Il pre-

The SEWING MACHINE COMBINATION DE-
rEATED.-1he Senate committee on patehts
has decided to report adversely on tho ap-
plication of A. B. Wilson for an extension
Of the patent for the four-motion feed for
sewing machines. which has been pending
before Congress for the past two years.
This patent was issued in jane, 1852, and Is
| the mos. valuable patent cx;ant 10 connec-
ton with sewing machines. The merits Of
this feed are as follows First-The feed
bar, or pad, is given forward motion to
carry the cloth to the needle. Second
A downward motion 10 release the
cloth from the grip Of the feed.
! Third-A backward motion TO the extent
of the length of the stitch. Fourth-An
upward motion 10 take fresh hold on the
cloth. This .our-mo,ion feed is so valuable
that no cloth-sewing machines are made
without it, The combination owning the
patent embraces the owners Of the Wheeler
| & Wilson. Wilcox j GIBBS. Singer. and
Howe Companies. 1t has served to bind
these manufacturers together, and has en-
abled them to defy all competition, and
they arc now striving to maintain he mo-
nopoly of the feed by having the patent
extended for a period of seven years
| by act IF Congress. The invention has
realized for the inventor several million
dollars, and Singer admits that he
has realized from his patents, which
are much less important than the four-fsed
patent, two million dollars since 1870.
Since that year he has not been required 10
make return of his profits. The extension
of the patent for another seven years would
be worth about twenty millions of dollars
| to the owners. and would cost the public
| fully four times as much more, by reason
of perpetuating the monopoly. An immense
number of petitions against the extension
has been filed, and volumes of testimony
have been taken in regard to it. One ex-
hibit alone makes II volumes as large "a
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, which
the owners of the patent once requested
the Commissioner of Patents to peruse
before making decision. The failure OF
the extension, it is claimed. will have the
effect of reducing the price of sewIng-ma-
chimes to twenty dollars. There Is evidence
showing that the cost of the average sew
ing-machine is about twelve dollars, and
that small manufacturers are forced to pay
to the combination for the use of the feed
forty dollars on each machine manutactur-
cd. 1t is curious fact that Wheeler Il
Wilson's machines can be purchased IN
Europe and imported to this country for
about one-half the price they now cost mere,
the reason being that those machines have
no protection in Europe and can be manu-
featured by any person Washington Cor.

Tho Vermont Farmer copies little re-
mark OF the FREE Pass, that without the
coal dealers the price of wood would be
forty dollar: cord, and adds
TLa: is, the merchants are public b6ne-
ct because they keep the farmers prices
down.
Not quite so. The farmers prices for
wood aIe not down; but up. The price
Of wood j. tbrcc times as high as it used to
he when only wood was burned in this
region but the coal has come in a. the
forests have been cut off and the supply
of wood has diminished, and has kept the
price Of fuel from going up out of all reach
We d. 10 think. however, that the farmers
can be made very jealous of the coal mer-
chants on that account; nor of the grocers,
because kerosene prevents the price of tallow
from doubling. And if they could, the fact
would remain that coal and kerosene are
great public blessings.

The TERRIBLE CALAMITY AT BOUCHER
WILLIE, P. Q.-The Montreal Gazette fur
nishes some additional particulars relative
to the terrible calamity at Boucherville. 1t
seems that Pierre Delude and his family re-
tired to bed early, leaving fire burning in
the kitchen. Delude was awakened by
smelling smoke, and on descending to the
kitchen found the carpet and stairway on
FIRE. lie called to his wife, and ran to q
neishbor named Racoit to procure ladder
.or the purpose of saving his wife and
eight children, who slept in the upper fat
OF the house Unfortunately. before he ar
rived with the ladder, tie whole building.
which was a wooden one. was in flames, and
his wife and children were LAUGHED into
eternity. Delude, who made some fruitless
efforts to go to their rescue after his arrival
with the ladder, was very badly burnt about
the face, head. back, hands and legs. Very
faint hopes are entertained of his recovery.
His wife and eight children were burned TO
death. The body of the baby. only one year
old, is almost entire. but burnt past lden-
tity. The fire is believed to have original
ed from the stove.
