Grant for president in 1880 is the s,nti-
ment Of press and people throughout the
country. We are row undergoing the dis
astrous experiment of an administration
which in its conci .iatory weakness is the
direct opposite of the eight years of firm
and vigorous government by the great war
hero, and the contrast between the results
Of widely varying policies brings out will
convincing distinctness the wisdom of the
one and the folly Of the other. The senti-
ment running SO strongly in favor of
Grant for president is not confined to the
party which has twice elevated him to the
Office Of president. The necessity for a
stronger government is admitted by people
of all political shades, and in even the dem.
ocratic party there is a growing sentiment
in favor Of General Grant as the man
whose election would best eubserve tn, in.
terests Of the business class.

A PATENTED CHILD,
How a Terrible Accident Ended.
New York Times


The town OF Sussex. Penn, has lately
been profoundly stirred by an cxtraordi-
nary and romantic lawsuit. The case was
an entirely novel one, and no precedent
bearing Lron it is to be found in the COM
mon or statute law. While it is necessari-
ly Il matter Of great interest TO the legal
profession. its romantic side cannot fail to
attract the attention of persons of all ages
and of every sex. In fact. it is destined to
be one of the most celebrated cases in the
annals of American Jurisprudence.
Some time last winter lady. whom We
will call Mrs. Smith. who kept a boarding
house in Sussex. took her little girl. aged
four. with her to make a call on Mrs.
Brown. her near neiyhbor. Mrs. Brown
was busy in her kitchen. where she re-

and willie the ladies' were excitedly dis
clssne the new bonnet Of the local Meth
odiSt minister's wife. the little girl incau-
tious!y sat down on the stove-heartb. She
was instantly convinced that the hearth
was exceedingly hot, and on loudly be-
wailin" the fact. was rescued by her moth
or. and carried home for medical treat
ment.
4 few days later Mrs. Smith in great ex-
citemcn burst into the room of 4 young
law student who W. one OF her board
ers. and Will, tears and lamentations, dis
closed TO him the fact that her child was
branded with the legend, Pat
cnted. 1872 These words. in raised let
tiers. had happened TO occupy just that
part Of the stove-hearth on which the child
had seated herself. and being nearly to red
heat they had reproduced themselves on
the surface of tie unfortunate child.
The law student entered into the moth
cr's sorrow with much sympathy. but after
he had in some degree Gained her mind he
informed her that a breach of law had been
You Child" he remarked,

ed. Patented 1922 This is an infringe
mcnt of the statute. You falsely repre-
sent by that brand that a child for whom
no patent has been issued is patented. This
false representation is forgery. and sub
ccts you to the penalty made and provid-
ed for that crime
The result was that the court, in a very |
lble and voluminous opinion. decided that
nobody was guilty of anything, but that.
with a view of avoiding the penalty of in
ringing the patent law. the mother must
lpply to Congress for 4 special act declar-
ng the child regularly and legally patent

his important matter. little Miss Smith
will be the first girl ever patented in this
and the legal profession will
watch with unflagging interest the lawsuits
o which in future any infringement Of the
,atent may lead.

clear to the unfortunate merchant. The
gypsy telling his fortune, made her own.
While absent in the store. the rolls of
greenbacks We're distracted and the dunn
mics substituted. and the nails dropped in
to the box after the gold had been taken.
He had subsequently several times handled
the packages, but having no use for the
money. the loss was not sooner discovered.
Who cannot imagine the terrible shock
given the loser of $1,000 in cash! But do
or say what he could. it had flown. Re-
pairing to the police, they were put in pos
session of the facts in the case, and the
machinery of the law put in motion.
Every effort has been made by the eff
Gent chief detective. Capt. Sharlein. but
so far without satisfactory results. more
than that the gypsy and her husband had
bought tickets for Chicago. Little hope is
entertained Of the apprehension OF the
thieves.

An AdrOtt Theft Of $1,000.
San Antonio (Cal. Herald.

About two months ago an old couple
rented a dilapidated old rookery in this
city. and the old woman, an English gypsy,
went about the city telling fortunes. She
was about forty-1ive years of age. with a
coarse. grating voice, and as wrinkled and
dried as an Egyptian mummy. In her
wanderings. she happened on Austin
street, and called on Mr.. III. w. Bitter,
who keeps grocery store above the de-
pot. Here she met with kind reception.
and soon ingraiated herself into the heart
of the family, making frequent visits and
learning many private matters concerning
the affairs Of Mr.. Bitter Among other
things she learned that Mr.. Bitter intended
building a fine store on the corner Of
Crockett street and Al'no plaza, and that
he was in possession of the ready means to
carry out this scheme. This valuable in
formation gained, the pan was laid to get
possession of this snug little sum, and was
carried out to charm. On Sunday, the
9TH of April, after attending mass. she
protesting to be a devOut Catholic, the old
hag paid the Bitter mansic.. visit. and in
the course of the afternoon. finding her
self alone with Mr.. Bitter and the safe con-
tanning the money, she proposed telling
his fortune. Refusing to accept any re-
Enumeration, the gentleman went to the
store and brought bottle of wine. leaving
her in the room. After the wine was gone
and many fulsOme praises bestowed by the
willy old sinner, she excused herself and
went home.
About ten days after her last visit Mr..
Bitter, having occasion to use some mon
