A letter from New York thus describes
Hon. Peter Cooper:
The life of Peter Cooper is slowly ebbing
away. New York's great philanthropist
has not long to live, and yet in his ninety
second year, with mind somewhat impaired,
he is still planning new benefcences. The
nonagenarian has ceased active participa-
ton in the management of the vast and
varied interests over which he exercised
such minute supervision only few
months ago.
His principal pastime consists in tossing
rubber balls, n basket of which stands in
the room fitted up as his study; but his
sight is so feeble that, If he loses one, he
cannot find it again, and they are accord
ingly provided with little elastic strings of
rubber which he holds between his fingers,
so that the pretty little bauble comes back
to him ON the rebound. To the friends and
general public who have seen him in ac-
tive life, with his genial smile and atten-
tive ear to every tale of distress, and who
have applauded the emanations of his great
mind, such sight rs this is very sad, still
he says Il never felt better in my life, ex-
cept the twinges experienced by my nitro
gene experiment some years ago; but still
/ hear voice calling to me rs my mother
did when was a boy, Peter Peter, it is
about bedtime, and have an old mans
prescntiment that shall be taken soon"

Secretary Teller will not, in his annual
report, recommend q reduction in the cost
of obtaining patent. He is persuaded to
this course, it is said, from the fact that the
patent laws are now the most liberal OF
any country in the world. In England it
costs 81 900 to obtain fourteen-year pat
ent; in Germany, over 5000; in Russia
about $500; and in Canada $40; while
here it costs but S35 for seventeen year
patent. 1t is not thought by the commits
sioner of patents, Marble, that q reduction
in fees would materially increase the NUM-
ber of patents taken out or stimulate in
vention as the small fee is now within the
reach Of all. He thought that the large
revenue now derived from this source is no
argument IN favor Of reduction, unless it
can be shown that tho fees bear heavily
upon deserving snvento<n-RsSfstsv-CkR

COAL IN THE ARCTICs,

The Mining Herald says the existence oi
coal in tho Arctic regions, and the nature
of its composition, constitute one Of the
most remarkable discoveries in modern
geology. This coal seam, it appears, ia
found in the side of narrow mountain
gorge, the prevailing rock Of the surround
ing district being sliingly clay stone Of
very irregular arrangement but mainly
dipping to the westward, devoid of fossils,
though the vegetation presents no less than
sixty-nine species of plants. The coal has
a bright, shiny appearance, is somewhat of
a pitchy character, and very brittle. On
analysis 1t cannot be distinguished from
bituminous coal Of exceedingly good quail
ty, and is found to belong to the carbonif-
erous period.

A SHORT TEMPERANCE LECTURE,


Among the motives that prompted so
many people in Ouray county to sign a
petition asking the governor to commute
the sentence of death some time since pro-
nounced upon Andrew Bigger, for the kill
ing Harry Diehl were some of the noblest
that can actuate human sympathy. An
drew Bigger deserved his fate, but the
signers wished to preserve an honored
name from disgrace, and save an aged
mothers heart from breaking. Bigger is
well connected in the east,where his grand
father held high position for years. HIS
mother is 80 years Of age, and the course
of her errlng and misguided son has many
years ago whitened the hair upon her tenn
pies and brought her to the verge Of the
grave.
What sermon might be preached from
this text! How many young men out In
this western country, who are well con-
nected and qualified to honor their names,
their relatives, friends and the communities
In which they live, do we daily meet who

Ex-senator Dorsey is sorely afflicted in
the eyes. DR.. Marmion, the celebrated oc-
culist who is attending Lieutenant Danen-
hover, is his physician. He last week so
bandaged the ex-senator's eyes as to COM
pletely exclude the light, and says that
the bandage must not be removed for eight
weeks at least. Besides this, Mr.. Dorsey
suffers from a nervous affection, making
sleep impossible, and he is required to con-
fine himself to low diet, to be strictly tenn
perate, smoking even being forbidden by
the doctor. 1t is not probable he will &c

already entered his plea to the Indictment
His friends say his condition is very bad
and the complaint may make him blind.

neat fainting act she sees her way clear
