An English Scandal which Involves
the Throne.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 1.-The book for
which reward Of one thousand pounds
in gold has been offered by Mr.. G. Col
burne of London and stated in circular
extensively distributed by him to relate
to a member Of the Royal family of Eng
land, against the publication of which
the Lord Chancellor issued
all injunction and of which only
one copy IS known to be in the United
States was yesterday discovered to be in
possession of young lawyer in this city.
The lawyer could not be found until after
midnight and the facts were then obtain
ed from him. The book is memoir Of
George the Fourth. 1t is quite certain
that the reason why the royal family are
so solicitous for its destruction lies in the
fact that the marriage of King George
with Mrs. Fitzherbert is proven by let.
tiers and documents taken from the Royal
archives.

The Old Adam.
From the Davenport Gazette.


Certain parties in this city have been
enjoying little incident that transpired
in meeting Of the officials of an ortho-
dox church that was held in this city one
evening since the middle. Of December.
This deponent has not the privilege to
enter into details. but the fact is, the
brethren had been considering a case or
of two delinquencies that mad been called
to their notices. brother had been
where he ought not to have been, and
sister or two had been present at social
circle, the majority of the members of
which danced in a quadrille, OF something
of the quadrille degree Of moral turpi.
tudc-and the brother in question had
taken partner into one set, also. Some
other facts may have been considered in
the rumored laxity of the parties under
consideration but the seriousness of the
charges was no deeper than the matter
above cited-only this and nothing more.
But it so happens that for several years
one of the brethren-a good, honest,
strict believer in the faith. who is circum-
spect in all things-has had habit of
referring to St. Paul as authority for all
his decisions on the questions of charac.
ter that came before the Council. And
on this occasion, when announcing his
vote as to the guilt Of the par.
ties charged, he opened his Testament
and read from st. Paul writings to prove
his pure, Scriptural authority for his de.
cesions. One of the Council, q straight.
forward, blunt man in his business rela.
tions,--as many of our readers know
got tired OF his reference to St. Paul after
his tenth inAiction; he wanted the pro-
ceedings to end so that he could go home,
and his motions had been voted down two
or three times, and he was pretty mad.
So question came uD. The simon. pure
brothers name was called. Said he:
snow, let US look at st. Paul's opin-"
roared the impatient brother, his old
Adam getting the best of him:
"St. Paul be ID What's he got
to do with"
Pastor and Council jumped to their
feet. The profane brother kept his seat.
A second thought came to him /; said he
IL didn't mean that; Ill meant
Brother - be id p
The horror was still prevalent. After
a moment more the pastor advised that
the meeting adjourn, and the advice was
followed. All the brethren left the room
except the pastor and the blunt opponent
of st. paul-and the result Of the confer.
ence between the two has not been made
known. But il is certain that the pro-
fame brother is still a member Of the
church. His friends Of the Council are
very much afraid that this story will get
out on him, though. We trust not.

The Sewing Machine Monopoly De-
fealed.

The Senate committee on patents, be.
fore whom the application has been for
couple of years. have at last agreed to re-
port adversely on the application of A.
b. Wilson for an extension Of the patent
If the four-motion feed fer sewing ma
chimes. This patent was issued June Is,
cS52, and is the most valuable in exis-
ence. In this the feed bar or pad is
given forward motion to carry the cloth
to the needle motion downward to re-
lease the cloth from its grip, backward
motion to the extent of the length of the
stitch, and finally an upward motion to
take fresh hold on the cloth. So valu-
able has been this four-motion feed that
few or no cloth sewing machines
are now made without 1t. 1t is
owned by the sewing machine combi-
nation, which is composed of the owners
of the four leading machines,-the Wheel.
er & Wilson, Wilcox 4 Gibbs, Singer, and
Howe,-and has served to bind the sew.
ing.machine manufacturers together and
enabled them to defy competition by
force of monopoly. 1t was this feature
that the combination wished to further
monopolize for seven years by an act of
Congress. The inventor has realized sew
Q al millions for his invention. Singer
admits that his patents, which are much
less important, paid him $2,000,0 900 prior
to 1870, since which lime he has not been
compelled to render an account. = mo-
nopoly of this feed motion for seven years
more would be worth from $40, 100000 to
$30,0O0,000 to the owner, and would cost
the people -four times as much. Nearly
ton of petitions have been filed, asking that
extensions be refused. A former Commits
sioner of Patents, Gen. Leggett, once said
that il would take one man, reading ten
hours per day, sixty-five years to read all
eff the evidence that has been taken in re-
gard to this application for an extension.
One exhibit only makes twelve volumes,
each as large as Webster's unabridged
dictionary, all of which the Commissioner
was once asked to read before he refused
the extension. The ultimate effect Of
this refusal to grant an extension will be
to reduce the price of sewing-machines as
low as $40, though this will not come
about for couple Of years, when other
patents expire. 1t is in evidence that
the cost Of the average sewing machine is
but $l2, and that small manufacturers
are required to pay to the sewing-mschine
combination as much as $40 profit on
each machine manufactured. 1t is also a
curious fact that Wheeler & Wilson sew
ing-mschines can be purchased in Europe
and brought to this country for just one.
half of the price they cost here, includ.
ing all costs OF freight, duty, ETC.. the
reason being that they have no protec.
tion there, any one being allowed to
make them.

The maiden made way for an old maid,
who was looking for a letter about sick
poodle; and she asked earnestly, after
getting it, thereason why the engine was
stationed across the way.
A sickly smile of politeness crept over
the clerks face as he answered: sits
put there to heat water for the establish
ment while the regular boilers are being
repaired"
The moving crowd now began to pour
in thick, and with each letter the clerk
delivered history Of reasons why the
boiler was placed over the way. At last,
in agony and despair, he stepped back
and wrote this notice and pasted it beside
the delivery window

however, and read it through. Then the

asked the German. Then concise histO-
ry of the transaction was given, and the
German walked out, locking insulted and
