Horse Hay Fork - Patent Infringe

In the case of A. j. Nellis as. 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
against the defendants, enjoining them from
making and selling the Harris Double Har-
poon Horse Hay Fork. We notice from the
Court records that there are over one hun
dred suits now pending for the infringement
of these patents, against parties in the State
of Ohio. Evidently the owners of the patents
are determined to protect their rights.

Kean's First Ap yearance in London.

As the church clocks were striking six
he sailed forth from his lodgings in Cecil
street. His parting words to his wife
were: wish | was going to be shot"
In his hand he carried small bundle,
containing shoes, stockings, wig and other
trities of costume. The night was very
cold and foggy; there had been heavy
snow, and thaw had set in; the streets
were almost impossible with slush, which
penetrated through his worn boots and
chilled him to the bone. He darted
quickly through the stage door, wishing
to escape all notice, and repaired to his
dressing room. There the feelings of the
actors were shocked by another innova-
ton; he was actually going to play Shy
lock in a black wig, instead of the tradi-
tional red one. They smiled among
themselves, shrugged their shoulders, but
made no remark such man was beyond
remonstrance- beside, what did it mat
ter he would never be allowed to appear
a second time; Jack Bannister and Ok
berry were the only ones who offered him
a friendly word. When the curtain rose
the house was miserably bad, but by and
by the overflow of COvent Garden, which
was doing well at that time, began to
drop in and make uratolerable audience.
His reception was encouraging. At
his !, first words "Three thousand
ducats, well !' DR.. Drurv, who was
in front, pronounced Him sssafe." At
soiW be assured may" there was a
burst of applause, and at the great speech
ending with land for these courtesies I'll
lend you thus much moneys, /" the sounds
of appreciation were very strong. Even
as the curtain fell upon the first act sue
cess was almost insured, and already the
actors who had treated him so supercil-
iously began to gather round with con-
CALCULATIONS. But he shrank from them,
and wandered about in the darkness atthe
back of the stage. The promise Of the
first act was well sustained in the second.
But the great triumph was reserved for
his scene with Satanic and Salarino in
the third, where the flight of his daugh-
ter Jessica with a Christian is told him;
there SO terrible was his energy, SO mag
nificent his acting, that whirlwind Of
applause shook the house. Then ca.
the trial scene, grander still in its com
pick emotions and its larger scope for
great powers, and all was so novel! SO
strange, SO opposed to old traditions.
When the curtain finally fell upon the
wild enthusiasm sof the audience, the
stage manager who had snubbed him Of
fered him oranges, Arnold, who had bull
led and "young man'd him brought him
negus.
Drunk with delight, he rushed home,
and with half frenzied incoherency
poured forth the story of his triumph.
The pit rose at mel" he cried. Mary,
you shall ride in your carriage YETI
!" Charles" lifting the child from his bed,
shall go to Elton Then his voice fall
tered, and he murmured, eff Howard

"A Clever Dog.

During the meeting of the British Asso.
citation at Glasgow, friend of mine had
occasion to 60 one day from that place to
Greenock on business. Hearing, on his
arrival, that the person he wished to see was
out, but expected shortly to return home,
he determined to take q stroll about the
town, to which he wasssa stranger. In the
course of his walk he turned into q
bakers shop and bought hun. As he
stood at the door of the shop eating his
bun, a large dog came up to him and
begged for share, which he got, and
seemed to enjoy, coming back for piece
after piece. tsOoes the dog belong to
youg' my friend asked Of the shop
woman. 'No," she answered, "but he
spends most of his time here, and begs
halfpernies from the people who pass
g Halfpennies! What good can they be
to himp ooh! he knows very well what
to do with them; he comes into the shop
and buys cakes.''
This seemed rather remarkable in
stance of cleyernesss, even for the clever.
est of animals, so, by the way of testing
its reality, my friend went out of the shop
into the street, where he was Immediately
accosted by the dog, who begged for some
thing with all the eloquence of which a
dog is capable. He offered him half
penny, and was rather surprised to see
him accept it readily, and walk, with the
air of regular customer, into the shop,
where he put his forepaws on the coun-
ter, and held out the halfpenny toward
the attendant The young woman pro.
duced bun, but that did not suit the dog,
and he held his money fast. .'Ah!" she
said, 81 know what he wants." and took
down from . shelf a plate of short bread.
This was right; the dog paid his half
penny, took his short bread, and ate il
with decorous satisfaction. When he had
quite finished he left the shop, and my
friend, much amused, followed him, and
when he again begged found another
half-penny for him, and saw the whole
process gone through second time.
The dog clearly had learned by some
means the use CT money, and not merely
that it would buy something to eat, but
that it would buy several things, among
which he could exercise right of choice.
What is perhaps most remarkable is, that
his proceedings were entirely independ.
ent, and for his own benefit, not that OF
any teacher or master.-London Spectator.
