manufactured by your firm, at HinsdAle, n. H. Some
time since purchased interest in the Eewhall
patents, which led me to q careful investigation Of the
Newhan machine, and the inventions therein con-
tanned. have carefully examined the re-issued pat
ent granted John Gore Aforesaid and while have
great respect and admiration for the talent and nge
nuity displayed by my friend, i. 8. Renwick Of New
York In this case, as in all others, must say that
these claims. 30 far your machine il concerned,
cannot be maintained; and my advice to you both as
u solicitor Of patents and manufacturer Of moving
machines, is to issue circular to every person who
wishes TO buy one Of your machines stating that you
will guarantee them against any and all damages
which they may incur by reason Of any violation Of
the patented rights Of Mr. John Gore or Mr.. S. NJ.
Waite.
The circular you sent me headed "New England

The morning sun was rising fast,
A, through the ''meadow-lo" there passed
how who bore, with grasp SO bold.
A qood.siEed bottle, meant to hold
Potato bugsl -
His eyes were dim, his chSone,
with tears that woub
And with 500 AZ saw the boys
he u''ere 81, or with their toys;
seorohing sun did shine,
vSn his lips escaped a whine,

The hour for dinner came and went,
And left him DER the vines still bent;
At supper-time he would not eat,
But oft and of did be repeat,
"Potato bugsl"
10, come" his comrades said, land play
One game Of bail with us to-day"
Dearly would he have loved TO go,
But shook bis head and answered, "Nol
Potato bugsw
"Beware the MONDAY suns hot power
Beware the awful thunder-shower!"
His brother shouted with WILL
voice replied, far down the hill,
Potato bugs!"
At close Of day, as at the church
The bell replied to sections touch,
And loudly rang for nine O'Clock,
A voice exclaimed, with startling shocf,
potato bugs"
Our hero, rushing up the lane,
Stopped not for Joy, or grief, or PAIN
But waving high above his head
His bottle, to the family said,
'tPotato bugs!"
Into the hre, one by one,
The striped creatures then he flung;
And in his dreams, throughout that night,
He often screamed, in sad alright
"Potato bugsi" FRxsHIR.

The Presidents Message.

The President's Message is sound and linn tOkis ScdkheEn p0dicy, wnicn hs aseFs has resulted in the restoration of peace and good RoEetnment at the South, and areturning sense of loyalty 4n that unfortunate section of our country.
 w1hemsssage is specially strong on the silver question, taking the position that the doubt of our good faith abroad will hurt us vastly more iu urefunding our debt than any slight ultimate advantage from the cheapness of silver could hslp us. He calls public attention to the fact that the refunding of our public debt is in fact anly heEun. The country stillspays six per csfa interest on saFen hundred millions of bonds. and five per cent on as much more. If that fourteen hundred millions could be funded at -four per cent, there would be an immediate saving of one quarter the interest now paid thereon. When Bland and his co-lunatics of the South and West began bawling for the cheap silver dollar, our four per cents were selling at par in Europe, and large investments were made even here. Unquestionably the refunding of the whole debt into four per cent bonds would be easily accomplished if bond holders could De certain that the rising party of repudiatiop would not succeed in their poll cy of paying principal and interest in depre- ciated silver currency. As the President shrewdly intimates, however, it is as unwise as it is dishonest to talk noisily about cheating the public creditor when the public creditor has not yet granted the favorable loan he seems inclined to give us.
 On civil service reform the President holds fast to his position that the Senate is not to make, but merely to confirm or reject appoint ments. An appropriation is asked for the re- vival of the old civil service commission, and measures for the proposed reform will be urg- ed on Congress in detail in subsequent reports, and messages.
 An increase of the army, and other important measures, are urged, to which we have no space left for reference. On the whole the message is very able and satisfactory docu- ment. and raises still higher the hopes of those who look to Mir. Hayes for sound and liberal administration and for important reforms
