THE BOOKS WE READ.

Societies are being organized through
out the country for the suppression Of
"printed poison" or pernicious liter
ature. Just how these societies propose
to operate is not clearly set forth in their
declaration of principles, except to pros
ecute such dealers as openly violate the
postal or other laws relating to obscene
publications. This is well enough as far
as it goes, but it will not reach the most
vital point of all. Those who seek for,
and read from choice, obscene and per-
nicious literature form but an unimport-
ant part Of any community.
The promoters OF the scheme recognize
the difficulty of keeping the young from
reading the popular literature Of the day,
much of which is not regarded by the
strict moralist as fit for any one to read,
much less an imaginative or susceptible
boy or girl. Really bad books and pa
pers can be kept out of libraries and out
of homes; 30 can fash literature, but
are romances and novels by popular
authors to be suppressed? These may
not be bad OF themselves, but they may
create an appetite for more highly-spiced
reading.
All children and young people cannot
become interested in "Baxter's Saints
Rest" and books of that kind, nor in
Watts Hymns" and other collections
of poems Of like tenor. The time was,
when they read jus. such books, but it was
because there were no others to be had.
Now books are SO cheap that no n need
say he cannot afford to buy them. All
the stands ard works of fiction can be had
for a few cents, while other popular and
salable books are within the reach Of all.
The appointment of a Board of Censors,
after the style of the Russian Govern
ment, would not be tolerated by the peo-
pie of this country; besides a board
could not be organized that would please
all the friends of the proposed reform.
The Legislatures in all the States could
scarcely be induced to pass a uniform
law relating to the subject, and as long
as one State permitted such publications
the whole country could be flooded.
Parents and teachers can probably dc
more in this matter than any others by
developing a taste in the young for the
better class of literature. The bad effects
OF trashy matter are well known, but
the public generally do not fully realize
the Importance of keeping it away from
the young, nor of encouraging the dis
tribution of interesting but harmless
reading matter in its stead. If these
societies succeed in arousing the people
to a sense of their duty in regard to it
they will have done a good work.

AN INVENTORS TRIALS.
A Story of Suffering that Ended I'm Sue


New York Herald: Judge Nixon, in the
United States Court at Trent has de-
livered an interesting decision in the suit
against f R. Crofut for alleged infringe
ment of patent granted to William Hugh
Pierson for. an improved plastic COM
pound" made from vegetable f1bers. The
defense was that PIerson was not the orig
insl inventor, the patent having been an
ticipated by English letters granted to
Ales ander Parkes in 1856, and also that
the invention was abandoned to the pub
lie.
In his opinion Judge Nixon says the
testimony is explicit that as early as the
year 1850 Pierson began to devote his time
to the production of the compound. He
was young physician, practicing in Gin
cinnati, and in 1856 moved to Orange, n.
J. His income was very small, and at
times he was reduced to great straits. He
lived in one room, and a greater portion OF
the time on bread and water. During all
this time he constantly devoted all the
money he could spar efrom bis actual liv-
ing necessities to the purchase of mate
rials for carrying on his experiments, which
were conducted in a corn-crib in Orange
His work at the invention and the practice
of medicine was too much for his strength,
and his health suffered greatly from the
the severe strain. The application for let
ters patent was made in le60, but was re-
fused. En'eebled by overwork, he was
prostrsted by bis disap ointment, and his
| mind became unbalanced. In February
| 1861, he was sent to an insane asylum
where he remained until the following
| September. In the meantime the patent
was granted. In conclusion Judge Nixon
says:
| ''No question has been raised by the
| defendants in reference to the truth of the
patentee's testimony, and it cleaily re-
veals the fact that this invention was prac
tically complete some years before the
date of the selling of the E glish patent tc
Parkes. am I, rther of the opinion thai
| the defendants have not succeeded in
| showing any acts or conduct on the par
| of the paten ee which would Justify the
court in holding that the invention wal
abandoned. Continued poverty, sickness
| snd mental alienation are always regarded
IS sufficient excuses for delay, and not ,
fact or circumstance has been brought int
the case showing any intention of aband
onment. A decree must be entered TO

JEFFERSON DAVIS,
And the eTCOsfume H- " ore when Capt.
ured-Judge LOchrane's Story.

Judge Lochrane of Georgia contradicts
in emphatic terms the story of a Lieut..
Isegrigg of indianapolis that when capt
ured Mr.. jefferson Davis rode in q farm
wagon up to the International Hotel,
Macon, with a hoopskirt, bonnet and straw
hood hanging over him on pole, and
SAYS: "Mr. Davis and his wife came up
to the steps of the Lanier House in Macon,
the then headquarters of Maj j.-Gen. Will
son, and in the presence of thousands OF
people-myself among the number-who
stood in silence as they passed. Mr.. Davis
alighted, and, helping Mrs Davis out, she
took his arm going into the hotel and all
this was done as gracefully and quietly as
il he were al ghting from carriage at the
door of the Secretary of Wars office in
Washington"
"The alleged firing of pistol at Mr..
Davis, and the riddled coat by bullets,
narrated by the ex-Iieutenant, is one of the
/ boldest dsshes OF falsehood recorded in the
story-books of modern adventure, and SO
| fallsciously absurd that even Dazzle would
have contemplated its sublimity of impu-
| dence with hungry envy.
at is out of such stuff as this-pure and
lunadulterated nonsense-that the whole
4 story of Mr.. Davis being caught in woman 6
l clothes was invented. The fabrication had
/ no more for its basis than that when Fed
| era' soldiers rode up to his tent, and as ne
| was going out to meet them in the night
sir, Mr.. Davis threw a hood over hit
shoulders to protect him from neuralgia
from this infliction, in fact, he afterward
lost the sight of one of his eyes.
"I regret TO see this notoriously known
scandal revived, for it was reasonable Il
hope in these days OF returning sobernes'
and truth that such id malice had beer
buried out of the sight and hearing of pub
lie decency. While all feel that the loyal
ty and allegiauce of the South are beini
won to the Union, and tnst this is th'
best hope for free government on thi
earth, her people do not relish unjust as
persion or abuse upon Mr. Davis, wh,

his person the true type of all that is Dol,

respected lady of the place, had sent a
trunk to the blacksmith shop of F. W.
Bouchel to have a key made for it. Early
this afternoon the lady called for the
trunk, and while she was at the shop
Mr.. Bouchel, an unmarried man of fifty
years, endeavored to impress her with the
idea that he was greatly smitten with her.
Mrs. Randell received those advances
coldly, whereupon Bouchel became very
angry, and, seizipg carbine which was in
the shop, fred at and shot the. lady
in one Of her lower limbs. Bouchel
then. marched up and down the
street Tith his carbine and a dirk
knife and defied arrest. Sheriff Allen was
sent for; and VIE Wien ne arrived, called upon
Bouchel to surrender, but that individual,
who was now in state of nigh excite
ment, refused and opened fire upon the
ofhcer: The sheriff returned the FIRE and
shot Bouchel twice, once In the head
and once in the groin, inficting
wounds from the effect of which he
oied fsi fsas evening. Mrs. Randell, who has
painful bat not very serious wound, was
conveyed to her home, and the sheriff Of
fered to surrender to the local authorities,
but at last accounts he had not been ar

that he only performed his official duties.
