Important Patent SUIT.

The San Francisco Chronicle of April
ODD says that Porter, Oppenheimer,
Slessinger & Co., of that city, manufac-
turers Of boots and shoes, have flied q
bill of complaint in the United States
Circuit Court, charging the firms Of
Buckingham & Hecht and Hecht Bros.
with infringing upon their United States
letters patent for an improvement in
boots known as the "Ironclad" boots.
An accounting, and an injunction re-
straining defendants from further in
fringing upon the patent and 200
damages are sought. The suit
promises to be on interesting
one, and will be holly con-
tested by the manufacturers of the "Iron-
clad" boots, who are owners of the val
liable patent. The patent is on the rivet-
| ing, which makes the "Ironclad' the
most valuable boot in the market to-day
for miners, farmers, lumbermen and
laborers. Where boot is in water a
great deal the sewing is apt to rip, and a
boot that is otherwise good has fire.
quently to be thrown aside. With the
iron. clad rivets the boot will
stand much longer, as the
water has no effect on the rivets.
In the counters of heavy boots the rivets
are of especial value, keeping the coun-
ter in place as long as the boot stands.
It adds fifty per cent. to the wear of the
boots, and keeps them perfectly CON-
Portable until the boot gives out as a
whole. Porter, Oppenheimer, Slessin-
ger 4 Co. are now manufacturing child
ren's, misses and ladies' shoes, with the
patent rivet, and are meeting with much
success in that class Of goods.

NOT Understood.

Manager Piper was this morning
called out Of the box Office of the opera
house by man who wanted to speak
privately with him. They stepped over
to the foot of the gallery stairs and Mr..
Piper said:
"Vwell, sir, what is it all about?"
81 want to be engaged as hactor."
ooh, that's it, oh?" said Mr.. Piper,
taking a survey of the applicant, who
did not have any external marks of the
profession.
"What line of business can you do
best?"
"Well, I avnt benny partickler line.
Hi do heverythink pretty well. But
there's one thing hi should mention
here he looked down and lowered his
voice-"him hammachure."
"You're a hammer chewer?" exclaimed
the astonished manager. 'Some Don
nerwetter, is der man verrueckt?" he
added, forgetting his English in his sur
prise and falling back upon high Dutch
Hi said hammachure, sir, repeated
the applicant, with dignity.
"Vwell, dots joost what thought you
said; but, my friend, look here: What
sort of hammer is it you chew? I like to
hev you tell me some more about it. Is
it sletch hammer"
The applicant grew red in the face. He
was evidently indignant. He said:
"Mr. Piper, hi spoke to You, sir, like
q gentleman, sir. Hi told you hi WASH t
professional hactor, but simply ham,
machure. You see fit neither to poke
fun at me, sir-to be hinsolent-or
else, sir, you're demd hignoramus!'
The man strobe away, with an air of
lofty scorn, and John Piper was left to
mediate.
HE said he was hammer chewer,
but he wasn't a professional; hammer
chewer-he meant to say he was ANA
choo. Ha! ha! ha! well, it's all his
own fault if he got mat; why don't he
speaghk plain English?"

five could know what trials
The future has in store
The pitfalls in the pathway,
The thorns our feet before
We should sit down despairing,
And count all struggle vain,
And hearts that fight with fortune
Would never fight again.
Thank God, He hides the sorrow
1t may be ours to share;
We face the future bravely,
Not knowing what is there.
Our hearts keep courage hoping
For all glad things of life;
We think Of joy, not SORROW
Of rest, and not of strife.
Better to hope for sunshine
Than dread what days may bring;
Better than sad forboding
To keep up heart and sing.
IT'S wrong to cloud the sunshine
God gives us for to-day
With fancying that tomorrow
May have sky Of gray.
So never borrow trouble
The old advice is good;
Don't battle with the lions
Before you reach the wood.
Be brave of heart, my brother
Be happr while you may;
The good things of the present
Were given for to-day.

friends, the fisher parson beats US ALL" Ii IS
interesting TO find that many of the clerPymen
of that day seem TO have been uncommonly
practical men One fancies that they all
preached the better because much OF their
time was spent in a way that brought them in
close contact with peoples everyday lives. 1t
was no ideal human nature, studied from SER
mons and theological works, and classified and
doomed at the recommendation of the old d.
vines. One can believe that it was not abstract
generalities of state of snfulness so much as
particular weaknesses and shortcomings that
they condemned from their pulpits. Par
son Litchfeld could preach calamity at some
offender who stole from and lied about bis
lobster pots when he took his text from Anan,
las and Sapphira. and Parson Chandler could
be most impressive and ready with iliustra-
ton when he chose the parable OF the sower
for the subject Of his discourse.
