Mr. Mack ey is man who most deeply ex-
asperates the art dealers of both New York
and Paris. After they had sold him some
real bargains to encourage him, they learn
he has just paid half million for Sir Philip
Miles fine collection at Leigh court, and that
he has been for some time in negotiation
with Lord Lansdowne, for series of Italian
masters of the highest renown. Unfortun-
ately, Mackey's purchases are not likely to go
to America, at least for some time. There is
danger that, dazzled by the brillancy of the
courts of Europe and the social splendor of
its nobility, he may forget the more remote
but not less agreeable attractions OF the Hoff-
man House. He is even now credited with
being in treaty for ducal mansion in Bel

Edmund @. Stedman.
Troy IN. " Times,

Troy IN, ~ Times,
Another Yankee worthy of notice is Ed
mund G. Stedman, who has just entered his
fiftieth year. He is a native of Hartford,
and was educated at Yale. He was rather
fast, and became both husband and an ed
itor of the Winsted Herald before reaching
twenty-one. New York then attracted him.
and he came hither and attracted attention
by the Diamond W edding," which was one
OF the cleverest stories of the day. Stedman
became an attache of the press, and also
showed great familiarity with Greek litera-
ture, but as his family increased he saw the
necessity of more profitable employment,
and in 1864 became Wall-street broker.
Strange il is that poet should be business
man. and yet Stedman proved a sue
cess in his new field, and has made
money in an honorable manner. Any one
who looks closely at Wall street crowd will
notice the tall form and piercing eye of the
poet-broker. He has not utterly lost the
student look, but the cares of business tell
upon him, and his hair is becoming silvered
He moves, however, with rapid step, and is
evidently full of vital power. His love of
literature is still cherished, and he no doubt
hopes to retire from the madding crowd and
seek again the society of the muses., but this
will never take place. At fifty mans habits
become fixed, and Stedman will remain in
Wall street till the last. He has made enough
to become the owner of a house, and he has
evidently mastered the lesson which Euripi-
des puts into the mouth of the Cyclops,
making the latter thus address Ulysses
wealth, my little fellow, is the deity of the
wise; the rest is mere brag and fine words"

DIR. w. P, Mackay, preaching one day to

how long do you think it would take to do
it?' One of the men accustomed to obeying

The early telegaphio reports as TO the
Dorsey Islander were misleading. The i'm
preston was conveyed that the Suns publ
cation was q letter from or interview with
Dorsey. II was nothing of the kind; no let
tiers, nor anything purporting to be letters;
and no documents of any kind are produced.
II does not purport TO be written by Dorsey.
Nor does it purport to come from him. Dor
sey may not even have instigsted 1t in its
present form, though there can be no doubt
that it takes its present shape from matters
that Dorsey has previously charged either
disjointedly or as whole.
The Sun, whose editor was branded a liar
by Garfield, and proved to be such, pursued
him living, and his memory since dead, with
malignity such as can only be entertained
by small and mean spirits, and it is quite
probable it needed no prompting from Dor
sey to devote so much space to tiinging It's
spume at the grave of the dead President.
Apart from its hatred of Garfield there
lies back of this attack the hope that con-
troversy may grow out of this assault which
will revive within the republican party the
factional contests of two years ago. If such
hope is entertained it will fail. The brutaii-
ty of the attack will unite rather than divide.
1t so shocks decency that it carries with 1t
its own corrective, and stalwart and half
breed instead of being prompted by 1t TO
sharpen daggers for each other, will feel
more like loading their boots for the authors
of the grossest political indecency of the
century.-P0St and Tribune.

The Iowa greenbackers in convention as
sembled, while, like all their political breth-
rem, crying out against monopoly, embody
the following in one of the planks of their
platform: 1.-The patent laws should be so
amended as to protect inventors" If there
is monopoly existing anywhere in this en-
tire country, it is that which is given to in
ventors by our existing patent laws. 1t is
within the common observation and expert.
ence of every man that patented articles are
frequently sold for price which is simply
enormous, and this because of the monopoly
which our patent laws give to inventors.
Witness for instance sewing machines. which
before the expiration of the patents on them
were sold for $50, can now be bought for
less than one-third of that price. Take the
Bell telephone for Illustration; anEinstrument
cannot be bought at any price, but an annual
rental of S4S per year is the only condition
on which one can be had, large part of
which goes in the shape of royalty to the
inventor. Immense fortunes have been real
ized under our present patent laws by in
Ventors, on comparatively triling articles. on
account of the monopoly given to those who
perfected the inventions. II is common
thing for patentees to swindle the public by
allowing their inventions to 20 into common
use, and then swoop down upon the people
and collect vast sums as royalty for their
use. The Green driven well patent was an
illustration of this, and although it was event
uslly declared invalid by the courts, on the
ground of prior use, yet the public was bled
to the tune of many thousands of dollars, be-
fore this result was reached. So open and
notorious had this patent right swindle be-
come, that our Legislature, to afford such pro-
lection to our people as they could passed q
law requiring every note given for patent
right, to show such fact on the face of the
note.
And yet greenbackers demand that invent
ors be protected by amending the patent laws.
10 would have been much more consistent
had they demanded an amendment that
would protect the badly patent right swindlt
public.

The TeIegraphic Strike,

The strike of the telegraph operators which
extends all over the country, while it has Sc
riously disarranged business, has not proved
to be as disastrous as il was feared it would
be. While not extending TO the smaller
towns, nor embracing the railroad men, it
includes about three-fourths of all the opera
tors in all the commercial centers, the strik-
ers being members of society known as the
Brotherhood" AS stated by Detroit op-
orator to representative of the Post and
Tribune, the strikers themselves have nothing
to do in the matter but are wholly under the
control of an executive committee of seven
members, whose head quarters are in the
city of New York. Said he: "The truth is
we have nothing to do the executive commit
tee have control of everything. This COM
mittee is composed of seven members. If
they were to order US to return to our work
tomorrow without single one of our griev-
ances redressed we would promptly do so.
II they should order rs to remain outYuntil
fall we would obey with equal promptness."
There is no law that will compel person
to work for what he may consider an made
quate salary, and an employee has the right
TO quit, or strike whenever he chooses, but
whenever men join an organization, trades
nnion, or society of any kind, and by SO do
ing agree to subject themselves to the direc-
ton of one man or set of men, they surren-
der their manhood and freedom, and become
simply machines, mere puppets who must
elevate their thumbs whenever Simon SAWS
thumbs up" Such organizations are sub
versive of the best interests of society, and
foreign to the spirit and genius of American
institutions, which allow the largest liberty
to the individual, that is consistent with the
public good. The operators of this country
tried this experiment in 1870, the only diff
ference being that then one man constituted
their "head center" and now they have seven.
That strike proved disastrous to those who
engaged in it. 1t yet remains to be seen
what will be the outcome of the present one

For the week ending July 9th 3, Pa bales
of foreign wool arrived in this country, while
for the same week last year, the arrivals were
but 9s5 bales. The reduction of the tariff is

the inevitable consequence by having had to
sell their wool for from five to ten cents per
pound less than last year. Thus are the

The main object of interest to strang-

high, and is reported to be the highest

the world. Only one bridge built Of
iron which is on branch of the Erie
railroad in Pennsylvania is spoken of as
being higher.

raised, and were up thirty or forty feet
on Saturday. A number of men were
excavating on the sides Of the precipi-
tous mountain for other and shorter
piers. The timbers will be raised with
| i'm poles, aided by stationary engine.
The engine had not arrived Saturday.
| The timbers are being hauled to the
place by teams, and tramWay will not
be built, at least not at present. The

across at the bottenl, and will taper to o
width of sixteen feet at the top. S. J..
