He was a glass-cutter, and she the
daughter of millionaire. Between
the flow OF two unhappy rivers. even
IN dlngy Pittsburg, they both found
habltation and common love. The
lad was Fisher Digit, the lass Phil
Fps was. They met for many weeks
without parental knowledge, but when
at last the father OF the girl caught
scent of how the breezes blew he rails
ed huge domestic row, and straight
forbade the armorous glazie evermore
to see his love. But the young folks
were up to snuff, and she had a sister
living but a little out of town, and
there transferred her wardrobe, piece
by piece, and fixed a nigh, for flight.
When the hour arrived Fischer drove
to the mansions rear to get his wish
full bride. The girl ran out pursued
by the watchful mother, and they
footed it at a lively gait across pota-
to-patch, dexterous youth somewhat
in advance of laboring age. The car
riage was gained, and the horses put
to their high PAGES, the mother being
eluded. Next morning the two we're
wed, and will tour it westward. AS
Fisher is proper sort of youth, he
will, no doubt, be speedily forgiven.

The Verdict.

II is needless to say that the verdict in the
star route cases will provo a surprise to the
country. While there are those who thought
there might be a dsagrecment,wed doubt ifeven
the most sanguino of the defendants or their
attorneys would, twenty-four hours ago, have
predicted clear acquittal The trial has
been long and tedious, and surely the prose-
cution has been vigorous and thorough. All
the attorneys who were originally employed
in the cases by President Garheld's attorney
general were continued in the cases to tho
close Mr.. Brewster who had been retained
by Mr.. Macvcagh us special counsel in these
cases, was made attorney general, and it is
we'll known to the country with what zeal,
under his management, the prosecution has
been carried forward.
However the verdict of the jury may be re-
ceived by the country, it cannot be denied
that the verdict of the people, expressed in
various ways, was directly opposite to that
reached by the jury but we are not prepared
to say that the jury did not act with con-
scicntious regard Of tho solemn oath taken by
them.

Pntent Laws.

It will hardly be seriously doubted that the
material progress we have made as a nation.
Wise patent laws, such as not only insure to
inventors reasonable compensation, but at the
same time protect tho public from extortion
and continued monopoly in a country like
ours, where there is so m uch inventive genius
and such demand for new and useful improve
ments cannot be too highly commended.
The execution of the laws in some instances
havo worked oppression upon the public aud
established grinding monopolies.
In this connection highly important de-
csion has recently been made by Judge Treat,
of st. Louis.
In the United States circuit court at Chi
cago some two years since Judge Blodgett rem
dered a decision affirming the claim of Wash
burn and Moens, of Worcester r, Mass, on their
patent for barbed fence wire.
The effect of tho decision was to insure roy
alties to tho patentees of from two to four mill
lions of dollars annually.
The same questions on these patents being
presented before Judge Treat at st. Louis re-
Gently, he held that the claims of the patent
ees are invalid. The case WILL no doubt, be
app called to the supreme court. Should Judge
Treats decision be affirmed by the court ol
last resort, it would have tho effect to reduce
the price of barbed wire from ten to four oi
five cents per pound, and probably to less.
The annual consumption now amounts t.
about eighty thousand tons, which are equal
in length to FIVE hundred thousand miles.
Many of the farmers in the west and alsc
in the east aud south are using this wire, and
a reduction in price would bring it int,
almost universal use in this country, whicl
will secure good lasting fencing and be
great saving in the use of timber.

msnds Of historic truth and familiar criticism
One of our English cousins, E. w. Triflo
by namo has been wandering through some
of the old churchyards in England whore the
ancestors of Gen. George Washington lie
buried, and has copied the inscriptions on tho
tombs and the armorial bearings of the Wash
ington family. The result of his labors is told
in little pamphlet just issued, which shows
conclusively that tho "stars and stripes
were modelled almost exactly from the Wash
ington arms. This seems to us true poetic
justice, that the emblem of our freedom
should bear the arms of him who did most to
achieve It, And yet Mr.. brakes production
is none the less pretty, and as poem none
the less untrue.

Poetic Justice.

Every man and woman who in childhood
read Robinson Crusoe," land who has not?)
remembers the pangs of regret with which
at a more mature age it was ascertained that,
instead of being true history, it was mere
fiction.
So with many pleasant recollections of
childhood, we are at last forced to yield our
long enjoyed opinions to stern and practical
fact.
Mr.. Joseph Rodman Drake, well known
American poet, was the author of beautiful
and often quoted poem on tho origin of the
American flag. While Mr.. brakes poem is
fanciful, it has doubtless led many persons
into the belief that the stars and stripes were
adopted as the emblem or flag of the United
States for some of the poetical reasons given
by Mr.. Drake. He tells us that;
When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurlsd her standard to the air
She tore the azure robe Of night
And set the stars In glory there.
This is Mr.. Drakes pootical account of the
origin of the stars. Now for the stripes:
She mingled with It's gorgeous dyes
The milky baldrlc of the skies,
And striped It's pure celestial white
With streaking OF the morning light
This is exceedingly beautiful, and
