A MEMORIAL has been presented to both
houses of congress in behalf Of the venerable
widow of Admiral Paulding, praying that q
pension be granted her of $50 month. It
sets forth that her distinguished husband, the
last survivor of the battle of Lake Champlain
and hero of three wars, left her fifteen
months ago in very straitened circumstances,
his small farm in Suffolk county, N. Y, being
mortgaged far beyond its present value, and
that the moderate pension for which she appeals
to congress is absolutely needed to free her
from anxiety and assure her comfort for the
few remaining years which may be allotted to her.

The subcommittee of the house judiciary
committee has prepared bill to take the place
Of the law now on the statute books relative to
trademarks, which the Supreme Court recently
pronounced unconstitutional. The bill provides
for a registrar of trade marks, who shall be ap-
pointed by the president, and rank with the
commissioner of patents, with salary of
$500. This officer shall register trademarks,
upon payment of fee and fling of description,
accompanied by written declaration that no
other person has, or ever had, the right to use
the same. No trademark shall be registered
unless it shall appear to be used by the apph-
cant in domestic or foreign commerce, nor shall
any remain IN force longer than thirty years.
Various penalties are attached for the abuse or
coonter1eltiue of trade-m marks. The committee
think such law as thus w1n be useful, at least,
until constitution amendment is adopted.

JURY in Dodge county, Neb., gave judg-
ment for $4,000 for the plaintiff in a suit where
it was plainly shown there was no claim at all.
The explanation was that one of the jury had
slept during the hearing of the testimony, an
other had been reprimsnded by the judge for
eating peanuts and wanted to get even with him,
and another advanced and carried through the
argument that the defendants being agents Of
the Pacific railroad, and the railroad being an
object of hostility owned by non-residents,
while the plaintiffs were local residents, it was
therefore their duty to decide for their own cih-
zens, and defend their homes. THIS patriotic
appeal settled the case.
