In the case of A. j. Nellis Us. The Ashland
Fork Manufacturing Company, in the United
States Circuit Court for the Northern Dis
trict Of Ohio, decree has been entered in
favor Of the patents, and an injunction issued

There were two of them hanging
over the front gate the other night. She
was standing within the yard and he on
the sidewalk outside, both leaning on the
top rail, and apparently as happy as two
pigs in corn-feld. He was saying;
% Now, my own little darling, sweet idol
of my soul, whose image is ever on my
heart"-when he saw her father com
ing down the front walk, and continued
in a different strain "The potato bugs
haven't destroyed our crops so much
since we purchased Paris green, and you
will find also that cabbages can be raised
better on richer soil" The old gentle
man heard it, and turned back, saying as
he entered the houses "These young
people take more interest in agricult-
ural affairs than people generally sup
posed"

A FEW LETTERS.

BRooKsIDE, April 12 1872.
DEAR COUSIN BESSIE: 1t does not seem
possible that but two months from to-
day ] saw you standing on your porch in
good old Applethorpe bidding me an
April "farewell" / can see you now,
as l saw you then, smiling-or rather
laughing saying: Write! write
often; and if you can't find any real
news, make something up" l little
thought then / should so soon find mate
rial for correspondence. He was very
sick at first, but really seems better now.
But forgot, you don't know anything
about him. Well! neither do / much, but
"what have l give unto thee" So, I'll
begin at the beginning of my romance.
Day before yesterday, as l was en-
gagged in the very romantic work of
plOwing, heard Gathering of hoofs
and the snort and pant of a horse at full
tear. In an instant the runaway was
brought up, bang! against my fence. 1t
was the work of but a moment to leap
over and seize the animal. / then per-
ceived his rider clinging, senseless, to
the saddle by one stirrup. 1t is a great
mercy to him that he was not killed, but
ha had-Ls~A ds~s5ssa b>At short dis
tance, aud was therefore not severely ln-
jured. secured the horse to the fence
as quickly as possible, and then olsen
gagged the gentleman. Upon removing
him to the house, sending for a physician
and applying various remedies, his con-
sciousness was restored, and we soon
discovered his injuries as well as little
of his history. His wounds prove to be
bruises about the head and face more
dishguring than serious), and broken
leg, which 1t will take several weeks to
cure.
So here he is on my hands till he is
well. I'm not sorry, either, for cit is not
good for man to be alone" and l find
him my nearest neighbor-like me an
orphan, like me with a small fortune,
consisting principally of his farm, and
about my age. I've no doubt we shall
get along capitally 1 shall write every
few days of his progress, knowing that
you will be interested in whatever in
terests me. Don't forget to send me all
the gossip of Applethorpe, for am going
to make my neighbor acquainted with
all the inhabitants of Applethorpe by
proxy-i. g., through your letters; SO
write your most entertaining ones, as ]
expect to read them all aloud to amuse
and interest captious invalid. "No
more at present." from your affectionate
cousin, PHILIP AUBREY.

Emotions Of various kinds seized the
soul of Bessie Linton as she read Philips
letter once, twice, thrice. First, her
heart was hardened to anything he might
say--then as he told of his sufferings a
little pity crept in; and finally, as she
concluded the last word for the third
time, her heart was so overfowing with
pity-which is akin to love.-that she
forgave him.
At least, so suppose, as they passed

Three hours after she came from her
vigil pale and silent, but a conqueror.
A little card stuck in the drawing room
mirror told her that Philip had started
for New York on his way to his Western
home again.
81 declare, Ophelia, Bessie Linton's
awful queer about Philip Aubrey. Last
night says to her, says /; Bessie, i hear
Philip Aubrey's home-is her First she
turned mighty red, and then as white as
a sheet, and she seemed kind a.chokin'

was, Mrs. Dartle, but he found some
pressing business that took him back a
great deal sooner than he expected.

seen him for so long, and you was so at
cold as an ice-pitcher: shall miss him
very much. Have you seen my new

say anything more, but declare to man
I'd give penny to know what's the mat
ter-such friends as they used to be, tool
You may depend upon it the faults on
his side, Maybe he's done something
dreadful"
So things got whispered around, not
very much TO the credit of MIR. Aubrey,
but after Mrs. Dartle's rebuff no one
dared question Miss Linton, knowing
her so we'll.
Day succeeded day, and no one knew
the bitterness that filled Miss Lintons
heart so full that it seemed as II it must
burst. Then came letter from Philip,
"Shall open itS No, will send il
back That he should dare to write
againp One mail followed another, and
still the letter was unsent, was unopened.
At last, after fortnight had passed, her
good sense got the better of her ill-ieel-

TIE proclamation Of the "Holy War"
by the sheikh Ul.Islam, which the foreign
kilograms say will be made at Constan.

determination with which the Sublime
Porte has entered upon the war. 1t
means nothing less than the call to arms
of faithful Mahommedans throughout the
world to resist the Russian invasion Of
the Turkish domains. requisition
in the name Of the Prophet upon all men
Of the Moslem religion to defend the
throne and possessions Of the dynasty ru.
ling at Constantinople. 1t ia u spiritual,
as distinguished from civil, call to arms.
When the sheikh Ul.Islam, the head OF
great Ottoman tribunal, combining both
ecclesiastical and judicial authority,
brings forth the standard, the mantle and
the sword Of Mahomet, emblems of this
great spiritual power, and declares u
"Holy War; he makes the Sultan the
Commander of the Faithful against the
unbelieving world" In the shade OF the
crossing scimitars there is Paradise" IS
par! Of the formula that is supposed to
rouse every Muhommedap to the Gercest
zeal. 1t is matter that in the face OF
such u war MS is threatened is hardly
proper TO be iokcd over, but the heroic
language of Moslem appeals always re.
