JUDGE TREAT Of the United States court at
st. Louis, has decided that the Singer sew
ing machine patents having expired, any
body has the right to manufacture Singer
machines. The suit was for violation Of
the Singer trade mark, and the Judge
further decided that the plaintiff cannot
create monopoly for the practical exten-
sion of a patent beyond it's legal term I'M
der the guise of a trade mark. The various
sewing machine patents have been an en-
ormous tax upon the people, and their ex-
piradon cannot fail to reduce the price of
the machines, which have become neces-
sity in every household. The inventors
were long since amply rewarded for their
mechanical skill employed in the manufac-
ture of these machines.

BUCKEYES are disputing about Hayes
savings while in the White House, some as
serting that the amount is 100000 while
others are equally confident that he saved
at least 100000 of the 100000 which he
received, and they publish certain facts
showing that he could have done so without
difficulty. They state that not many peo-
pie know, though it is fact, that congress
usually makes an appropriation of $4,000
to pay the contingent expenses of the
white house. This more than paid all the
bills for the state dinners, diplomatic and
other receptions given by President and
Mrs. Hayes, all of which were elegant
though far from expensive, md what was
left paid the servants, kept the stables and
settled up hundreds of other little bills
which are constantly coming into such an
extensive mansion as the white house. The
entire expenses of the house were therefore
paid ont of the contingent and other funds
provided for by congressional appropriation.
There is no way left for the president there
fore to spend his income, except for food,
and Of course he could not doit in that way.

charter to build ship canal across the
State, which will not only shorten the dis
lance between the American ports on the
Atlantic coast and all European ports to
New Orleans, Mobile and all shipping points
on the gulf of Mexico, but will avoid the
dangers to navigation which are experienced
on the keys and coral reefs off the southern

ital continue as plentiful as at present, it is
not unlikly that both of these enterprises
will become accomplished facts during the

Henry Wizards Story Of His Relations With
the Northern Pacific.
Henry Willard, of the Orego' Navigation
Company and Railroad company, has sent a
special dispatch to Portland about Northern
Pacific railroad matters, which says: All you
have said regarding our obtaining control of the
Northern Pacific is substantially true. The
fund of $12,OOO,0OO was made up il
January, of which the 'blind pool"

went to President Billings and told him frankly
what had done, and invited lin and friends
to come into the combination or sell out to mt
at their own prices He declined to do either.
Thereupon gave him to understand I would
have to make up an absolute majority against
him. He expressed anxiety to come to a har-
monious understanding with our interest, say
ing, among other things, that we ought to have
immediate re-. resentation on the board. At
the request of some of his directors, perpar-
ed and printed statement of orr views as to
what the relations of the two companies should
be. The statement was submitted to the
Northern Pacifce board last Thursday, and
special committee was appointed to consider
and make recommendations upon the re-
lations Of the two companies Friday last,
however after adjournment of the billboard
meeting and the departure of most of the out
of-town members, Mr. Billings called the re-
naming members OF the executive board Sc
cretely together and prevailed on them to pass
the resolution directing the immediate issue of
over 81 {, 900, 600 of the stock still in the hands
of the company, the object being, of COURSE to
maintain Billings and his friends in power. No
notice of the proposed issue was given to this

denounced the proceedings, officially, as an
outrage. which fact am authorized to publish.

Frederick Billings, president of the Northern
Pacific, telegraphs as follows: 'There has
been no new issue and no new increase of North

ed for by the plan OF reorganization, and the
whole amount was long since listed on the New
York stock exchange. The stock, now in ques-

to whom the plan said it should go. have
heretofore hoped that it would go out gradually
as the road was built; but parties in interest
claimed that they were entitled to it's delivery,

The coronation of the late Emperor Al
exander, near quarter of a century ago,
was the occasion of master piece of des-
criptive writing by "Bull- Run" Russell, then
a correspondent of the London Times.
There is scarcely finer specimen Of word
painting in the English language, and it
justly gave him worldwide reputation.
George Augustus Sala, attempted to de-
scribe the funeral of Alexander, but he
proved himself unequal to the occasion.
This effort bears no better comparison to
Russell's than the ordinary work of penny
liners with the best writing of Macauley.

THE termini of the Northern Pacific,
which at the start were designated as points
at the head of Lake Superior and on Puget
Sound, cannot be regarded as permanently
fixed. Neither of these points will be an
actual terminus, though both are important.
Arrangements are already made for moving
eastward from Lake Superior and at the
west San Francisco and Portland, Oregon,
are claiming that Taco--a Washington Ter
ritory, is but a temporary hating place, and

Drift Of Democratic Sentiment.

The Chicago Times lays before its readers a
condensation of interviews with hundreds Of
representative democrats throughout the North
west, the South and the East, Oh the points sug-
gested in the following interrogatories:
First-Are you in favor of maki,g the next
president canvass on the issue of tariff for rev.
enue only?
Second-Do you believe it worth while, after
the defeat OF last November, to longer main
tain the democratic organization?
Third-Would you favor reorganization
under another name, as the whig party was ro-
organized into the republican party after the
defeat of Scott in 1852, making revenue tai
if and no 'protection'' the chief article Of the
party policy?
Nearly all the northwestern democrats favor
the free trade issue for 1854, but more than
four-fifths scout the idea of reorganizing under
a new name. The preponderance Of opinion liz
the south, SO far as can be judged from the re-
ports received from that quarter-but it is to be
remembered that they are from the larger
cities-is against the active agitation OF the
subject. The southern statesman deems it i'm
polite to antagonize the democracy of the man
ufacturing States by bringing this question Into
undue prominence.

A MOST HORRIBLE DEATH.

A Man Bitten by Mad Dog Dies Alone in the
Woods of Hydrophobia Having Chained
Himself to Tree that He Might not Injure
His Wife and Children:
Letter from Dallas Texas.
A tragic death has just occurred in our
neighboring county worth relating, and worthy
of Virginius or any other Roman father. One
year ago George Arnold came to Dallas on pri-
vate business, and while walking the streets he
was bitten by worthless cur which was froth-
ing at the mouth, and showing symptoms of
hydrophobia Mr.. Arnold became alarmed and
very much excited when convinced in his OWL
physician and had the wound severely cauter-
lied, then going home. He was still very I'M
easy and dreaded hydrophobia, 80 much so that
he hunted up mad stone and had it applied
for several weeks off and Oh, and the other day
he began to experience strange feelings, and at
then procured a twelve foot trace chain
and strong lock and went to the
woods. After writing his wife
calm letter, in which he told her what was
about to happen, giving directions as to his
wishes after death, and pouring out volume
the chain around tree, drew it through the
large ring at the end and then wound the other
end round his ankle 50 tight that it couldn't
slip over his foot, fastened it with the lock and
threw the key far beyond his reach. The body
was found two days after. still chained to the
tree There was all the evidence necessary to
show the horrible death from hydrophobia.
The ground was torn up to the full length of
the chain, the nails of the fingers wrenched of
and all his front teeth out in scratching and Bit
ing the tree, and every thread of clothing off
his body. The body was dreadfully lacerated
with these, the only weapons the mailman could
USE He had judged rightly what would have
haar the cOOsonuence had ha remained at loroa
and knowing that there was no human skill that
could cure him, preferred death alone and in
that way to doing harm to those so near and
dear to him as wife and children.

SOME idea Of the activity of railroad con-
struction in Mexico may be derived from
the statement that on the Mexican Central
railroad 0,306 men were employed for the
week ending February 30th. The Mexican
National Construction Company which is
building road from the City of Mexico to
Zacatecas and beyond, had in their employ
a working force Of 1000 men during the
week before mentioned. On these two
roads alone the working force exceeds IT,
600 men. There ere six other railroads
now being constructed with American cap
ital in Mexico, some of which are making
good progress. Locomotive and car build
ers of the United States ore overrun with
Mexican orders, some of which extend for
number Of years. When that country be-
comes gridironed with roads constructed
by citizens of the United States, the fully
ripened plum may fall into the bosom of
the Union without struggle.
