Having sworn shawn to secrecy | as.
sisted him to RENTER the box, and forth
with sent word of the discovery to the
magistrate. The box was at once re-
moved, the post -mortem examination
concluded and the discovery made that
the unfortunate man had died of heart
disease. Again everybody WAS amazed,
and this time wonder WAS mixed with
shame. After the examination was
made the coroner's inquiry WAS hurried
over, and once more, in solemn pOmp
and with all the rites of the church, the
agent was laid in his his grave.
Amidst the solemn cCncOurse which
attended this second funeral, noticed
the wild wan face which had haunted
me ever since that day when | had seen
it by the frozen window of the inn-the
face of the very man whom, in my own
mind, | had accused of murder? For
moment | hung back ashamed, then |
boldly walked forward and pressed a
bank-note into the wretched creatures
hand. He looked from it to me in dazed
smsz ment, then the sight of one of bis
ragged children seemed to make him
realize what the money would do. He
clutched it closer, and with one last look
down the open grave, he crept across the
boys toward his home.
BY whose hand the corpse WAS con-
veyed from the church yard to the bog
was never discovered. 1t was generally
believed, however, that news of the in
tended examination had been whispered
abroad, and that the agent was exhumed
and hidden solely with view to pre-
venting his body being "cut up"

Broken-Rsarted Horses.

Noticing IA old-time Jehu critically
examining one of the lead horses in the
Phoebe stage last evening, the reporter
slid up alongside in time to hear him
remark, sotto voce: There's Dick going
to the devil Just like all the rest, and he
amt been on the road six months" An
inquiry rs to the cause of Dick's--s
hoise--ev;l destination, led to the de-
velopment OF some facts in regard TO
stage stock that may be interesting to
our readers. You see that bay leader"
said he; that animal was put on the
route six moths ago, and he WAS good
one, full of life and ambition, and when
he first went into harness it took two
good men TO hold him down before the
start, and smart driver to hold him
atterward. Now he's As Doggy as drsy-
horse, and hasn't got spirit enough to
hold his herd up. They most sill go that
way. Horses are curious beasts. You
csn drive 'em twenty miles day on all
sorts of roads, and they will keep fat and
die of old age; but put 'em on q fifteen
mile run, where they We got TO travel the
same route every day, and they will
bresk their hearts and die in less than
two yesrs. 1t works like treadmill on
man. They can't stand the monotony."

How Do You Account: tor This?

In the lodge the marshal Is directed to
retire TO the ante-room to introduce Bill
Smithers and Tom Brown, in language
something like the following: Brother
Marshal, you will retire to the snte.room
and Inform his high mightiness the Most
Puissant William Smithers and his
inetfable potency the Very Venerable
Thomas Brown that this reverent body
awaits the distinguished honor of their
irradiating presence. Then the marshal
goes out and says, All ready, Bill; come
Tom, hurry up" In the army, on the
contrary, this order was reversed, like
this: Gen. Bombasts yells out to his
aid, "Go down to the forks Of the road
and 60 as though the old boy was after
you-and ask Col. Sordnot what in
he means, SO long getting into linel"
Away goes the aid on the gallop, which
moderates first into sober trot and then
walk az he nears Col. Sordnot, whom
he addresses with great formality, say
ing, Colonel, Gen. Bombasts sends his
compliments, and desires that you move
your regiment up % line as speedilyas
possible ."-Boston Transcript.

The Trademark Law Invalid.

BY deciding on Monday that the statute
providing for the registry OF Trademarks
and prescribinga criminal penalty for their
fraudulent use is unconstitutional IN whole
and in part, the Supreme Court at Washlng-
ton upset gu extensive system OF mercantile
rights at home and abroad. The sublect
came before the court on division OF opin-
ion in the New York Circuit Court and an
appeal flem decision in Ohio. a District
Court IN the west some moaibs sst ieslded
that tae ect for the registry OF trademarks
VAS unconstitutional, but 40 appeal Wss
taken, and the patent office at Washington
went on with It's WORK. The decision ny
the Supreme Court apparently cuts up
the present system by The roots. The e1-
istiGg law provides for the registry OF trade
marks at Wesbip gton on the payment OF
lee of twenty-five dollars, aud gives tue
owner of trademark more efficient protec-
ton than is enjoyed even by patentee.
liberal provision of the law allowed the
privilege of registry to the trademarks
owned by the citizens OF any country
which permitted registry to American
trademarks. Prior to the passage OF the
law the recognition of foreign tr ade.marks
had been secured by treaties with some
European countries, and conventions coy
ering the subject have been negotiated WIN
nearly all European countries since !oiu'
when the present trademark act WAS auoP.
ed. So far rs foreign and domestic rghts
in trademarks are secured by federal regis
try they will be impaired by this decision,
but it must not be overlooked that the rlgnt
of property in trade marks is recognized oy
the common law. Every trader and manu-
facturer has right, which the courts
will protect in The distinctive marx
By which he designstes his goods. The COZ
lapse of the special registry act for uncon-
stitudonslity, simply makes the protectlon
of trade marks more difficult, butt does no no,
deprive them of value, and the law stil
stands ready to guard customers against tn me
fraudulent use of trademarks. There VIII

of this decision. The federal statute was

yer honor" said Shawn, quietly, when
he fell and laid his head down and died"
Murdered?"
"Oh, God forbid yer homer; what for
should he be kilt at all at all?"
Nevertheless, l felt convinced that my
supposition was right; naJ more, ] he
lieved that / could point out the very
man who had done the deed.
That a murder had actually been
committed could not be proved on the
spot, but the manner of the mans death
was 80 peculiar as to call for coroner
inquiry and pOst.mortom examination.
The body, therefore, was at once removed
to the inn, and several hours after its
removal the two principal doctors of the
town were on their way, armed with the
implements necessary for their work.
On their arrival at the inn novel scene
awaited them. The people, at length
having solved the meaning Of the awful
words post-mortem examination" had
risen up in arms, and declared that no
such dissertation of the dead should be
allowed. Before Toney Monaghan be-
came q land agent he had been one of
themselves, and though he bad been a
little hard upon them of late, there
wasn't one man among them but would
raise his voice against having the poor
boys body cut up like a beasts The
consequence was-a riot. The police
were overpowered, the doctors sent
packing, the inn taken by storm. For
two nights the body lay in state, being
walked by its wild comrades. At the
end of that time the authorities, only
too eager to bring matters to a peaceful
issue, allowed it to be quietly buried
AS the grave closed above it, popular
excitement seemed to die away.
But if the people were satisfied the
authorities were not. Everybody be.
mitted, and that the subsequent riot was
only an effort to prevent the discovery
of the murderer, No sooner, therefore,
was the unfortunate man buried than
the doctors received an order authorizing
them to exhumc the body and make
post norton examination in secret. One
night, two nights ate, the funeral, they
set out on their mission with hopeful
hearts. 1t was bitter winter weather.
The night was black dark, the ground
was frozen hard and thickly covered
with snow. Making straight for the
graveyard, the doctors employed them
s,lves in opening up the grave. For
several hours they worked with pixaxe
and spade; at last they came upon the
coffin, raised it up and opened the lid.
1t was empty!
At this piece of audacity on the part
of some persons unknown, erybody
was more amazed than ever, and again
came the conviction, stronger than be-
fore, that murder had been done. But
try as they would, they could discover
nothing. The whole county WAS thrown
into tumult, and popular excitement
was st its height when | unwittingly
solved the terrible secret by finding the
body in the bog.
