Well, there wasn't hardly water enough
there to float a single, nothing but sand

COURT DECISIONS.
Copyright In Observation-Disclosures
of Home Made Money.

WASHINGTON, March 18.-The United
States supreme court has rendered a de.
cision in the case of the Burrow-Gile
photographic company, plaintiff in error,
against Napoleon Sarony in error, from
the circuit court of the southern district
of New York. The suit was brought by
Sarony against the photographic com.
pany under a provision of the revised
statutes for alleged infringement of copy.
right upon a photograph of Oscar Wilde.
The only important question raised by
the case is whether congress had and
has a constitutional right to pro.
tect photographs and negatives
thereof by copyright. The court
holds that the constitution is broad
enough to cover the act authorizing copy
right of photographs, and finds that the
photograph sued on In this case was an
original work of art, which was the prod
uct OF the plaintiffs intellectual inven-
ton, and which plaintiff was the author
that it belonged to a class of inventions,
for which the constitution provided, and
congress should secure TO him the eS-
elusive right TO use, publish, and sell, az
1t has done by section 1862 of the re-
vised statutes. The judgment in the cir
cut court infayor of Sarony wal affirmed.

Peculiarities of the Disease
Death of u S1O,-
900 Cow.

KTRKsvILLE, Mo-, March 1S.-A meet
ing of the farmers and cattle men of this
section was held here Saturday night to
consult in regard to the disease among
cattle in this vicinity, which is thought to
be the mouth and foot disease. Five
small herds, within a radius of four miles,
have lost one or more feet, over fifty head
have bad feet, and some of them have
blistered lips and tongues; several have
died; none hat have ever shown the
symptoms of the disease have recovered,
or even improved in condition. All these
cattle have been wintered in either houses
or had timber shelter and good feed.
About 700 head of stock has been ex.
posed in this county, but measures have
now been taken to establish rigid quar-.
antine. Every exertion will be made to
contine the disease to its present limit.
Commissioner Loring, of the department
of agriculture, has ordered DIR. Salmon to
come here and thoroughly investigate the
matter. His arrival is anxiously looked
for by the farmers of this neighborhood.
