Ing no harm, they may do much good

THE story of the finding of $4,000
in silver coin in Wilkes county, Ca,
supposed to be connected with the rob-
bling of the Confederate treasury train
at the time of the capture of Presi-
dent Davis, will revive portion of
the history OF the civil war as tragic
as any of the leading events that pre-
coded the fall of the Confederacy.
Now is a good time for survivors of
the great struggle, like x-Governor
Lubbock, who was one of the distin~
guishef actors in the ''last scene of
ALL" when the head of the Confeder~
ate government fell into the hands eff
the victorious enemy, to tell what they
know about the fate of the treasury
train, and for the benefit of history
The account of the discovery of the
silver coin will be found in the dis
catches.

Dave Williams, Sood Chopper Slabs
Cine walker.
A difficulty occurred Sunday night
at Heil's saloon, III the northern part
of the city, in which white man
named Walker was severely stabbed
by another white man named Dave
Williams. Complaint was filed yes
terday, in Justice Won Rosenberg's
court, charging Williams with COM
mitting assault with intent to MUIR
der. A warrant was issued and
placed in the hands Of sheriff Horns
by, who soon had his man II q
county Jail. The cause was contin-
ued in Justice Won Rosenberg's court
to await the result of Walkers
wound.
From what can be learned concern
ing the difficulty. it appears to have
been the outcome Of an old grudge.
The parties were playing ffteen-ball
pool, at the saloon above named
when some dispute arose, which
was followed by Williams drawing
his knife and plunging it into Walker.

a AEost UNIQUE Lawsuit,

a RUSSIAN paper gives an account
of the circumstances which have led
to a most unique lawsuit A rich lady
at her death placed her pet dog Gypsy
il the hands of friend, with the re-
quest to provide for her with the an
nual interest on one thousand rubles,
set aside for that purpose in her Tesla
ment. The other day Gypsy, died, and
the lady who had charge of her took
it for granted that the money was now
her own. Another lady, however, ap-
peared on the scene, who owned a~son
of Gypsy, and who claimed that her
dog was heir to the income of the one
thousand rabies, since nothing was
id in the testament regarding the
disposal of this money after the death
of Gipsg. The result of the trial will
be awaited with interest.-N.Y. Post.

Bismarck is no orator. His speech

the gift Of eloquence has great deal
Of mischief in parliamentary life. It
tries By appealing to the feelings TO
settle questions which should be set
tied BY common sense.
Bismarck used to tell 3 humorous
story to illustrate the distracting ef-
feet Of eloqnence. Frederick William
+, the despot king who publicly
whipped bis son, subsequently Fred
erick the Great, once listened to the
pleading Of two lawyers. After the
first one had flushed his speech the
king, moved by the advocates elo-
quence, exclaimed
This fellow is in the rightsl The
second lawyer then spoke, and with
such effect that the king said: stThis
man has the right Of il:
Then recalling that he had contra
dicted himself he fell into . furious

Priority or Invention.

The following are points In decisions
on priority Of invention:
The party who first reduces an IN
vention to actual use Is entitled 10 the
patent for it. although the other party
may have first conceived Il. II be did
not exercise reasonable diligence in rp-
ducing II 10 practice.
If party who first conceived ma
chine followed ub the idea diligently.
and was the first to reduce it TO actual
practice. he is entitled to patent for
It. although his competitors had CONF
plete working drawings of il previons-
ly prepared, and had obtained pat
ent. \
Whoever first reduces an invention
to practice and makes an application
Of it TO use, will usually DO the prior
inventor.
In order to defeat patent the courts
require it to bc shown that another
not only conceived tho invention in
dispute before the patentec, but was
the first to perfect and adopt the samc
to practical use, or was using reasOna-
BILE diligence for that purpose.
The parties who first embodied an
invention in machine which they
kept in operation afterwartlfor actual
use, besides manufacturing and selling
other machines. are prinia fdcie on
titled to that patent.
Hc is the inventor. entitled to the
protection of the patent law, who IL
first to complete the invention and
publish it to the world, and not he who
confines the knowledge Of IL to bis cli-
ent.
Where an invention consists Of q
combination Of elements, the date
when all tho elements are combined Is
the date of the invention.
When one is first to conceive an in
vention, lie throws aside all evidences
of the conception. makes NO effort to
complete or introduce 1t to the public,
and delays making an application for
patent for nearly four years after
another has brought it into oxtensiYe
use, he has standing as an inventor.

INTERVIEWING THE PRESIDENT

Mr.. Joaquin Miller writes from
Washington to the Chicago Times !:
President Cleveland Is @ plain man.
almost homely. He never could have
been good-looking at best. and now
that he is very bald and no longer
young there ID no beauty OF either
form or face TO speak of. OF course
he is different figure and form from
that Of Mr.. Lincoln; but / should say
that in his way be is as plain as ever
was Mr.. Lincoln in his way, and
fully rs awkward. He is q short
man, comparatively. and bis hands
are simply huge. The complexion Of
bis face is coarse and sallow. But
his eye Is keen and clear. He does
not stare at you. But be takes you
in at o glance with o Sudden precis-
ion, and you feel that he sees through
you and understands you in that Que
glance from your boot soIes up to the
last struggling hair on the top of
your head. He has a tremendously
strong face; it 10 simply powerful. 1t

Capt. Hoxie to be returned to Wash

viction, however, lodged very solidly
in my mind, and it was to the effect
that from the concise and swift way
in which he disposed of me aud those
who went in with me there is not
going to be much foolishness about
the White House while be II there.
