A Dog Revolution.

One of the clerks at the Windsor no.
tel remarked, as he stood at the main
entrance carelessly toying with his mus
tache, that the fashion in dogs has
changed.

man with the red Irish setter. who pre-
vailed to such a large extent last spring,
has become thing of the lifeless, I'M
emotional, and questionable past He
was wont few months ago to drift by
here in shoals. wearing a shovel-tail
coat, and being led by a big, bronze
eyed Irish setter. His face wore no
other expression than that which comes
from the consciousness of doing precise
ly the correct thing. He walked sol
emily and slowly. This fall a radical
change has come about The proper
thing in young men and dogs now is
cheerfulness and fox terriers. The young
man no longer looks sad, but he passes
the Irish setter coldly by. He wears
snug sack suit, and he bowls along
briskly with pipe or cigarette in his
mouth and two or three little Scotch
terriers at his heels. Taken all in all.
and balancing the question carefully
and thoroughly, have come to the con-
clusion that the present fashion is an

Authors Rights in England.

The unusual number Of thirteen
Scotch judges assembled, SAYS the Lon
don Truth, to try Prof Cards action
against a Glasgow bookseller for pub
fishing certain lectures which the pro
fcSSor had delivered to classes of stu
dents, One of the students had copied
down the lectures verbatim. and sup
piled them to the bookseller. and Prof
Card naturally sought to establish a
copyright in these productions. which
doubtless were the result of long and
arduous study l am sorry to see. how
ever, that he was unsuccessful in the
effort for, by seven against six, the
court of sessions decided that by pub-
fishing the lectures the bookseller had
not infringed any right of Mr.. Cards.
This is certainly very negotiable de-
cision, though it may be perfectly legal,
and 1t once more proves the urgent ne
ceSsity for complete revision OF the ex-
isting laws of copyright,

are told by French contemporary
which announces triumphantly that

world is introduced into the different 5
o'clocking communities in France. In
the salons of the duchess sandwiches and
meringues are served in bowers of exotic
plants; the ladies of the German colony

A Bold Scheme.

The Republican majority in the Ohio
House, having unseated the Democratic
members elected from Hamilton county
and seated the Republican candidates
without any investigation, and in the
face of the opinion of the Supreme
Court of Ohio, that primd facic, the
Democrats were entitled to their seats,
the Republican minority in the Senate
have determined upon highly revolu.
tionary scheme to dispace four of the
Democratic members of that body. The
plan rs telegraphed to the New York
World is as follows;

Public Printer.
Vicksbnrg Post.1

Mr.. Henry, OF the Jackson Ledger, was
elected Public Printer OF Mississippi by
the Legislature in joint session last night.
be received a tremendous vote, the ballo,
standing Henry, 90; Power, SO. There
is no doubt Mr.. Henry will make an excel
lent Public Printer, and that the duties OF
the position will be satisfactorily per-
formed.
1t seems that the Legislature has at las I
determined 10 have a little rotation" in
ONCE, although it is probable that some
authorization influences were brought TO
bear in Mr.. Henry's favor. For instance,
the Ledger was strongly in favor of the
reelection OF Gov. Lowry, and was con-
sidered by many TO be the State Admins
tration organ, Notwithstanding The Ola r.
ION was the official journal Of the State.
We are OF the opinion that the Governors
influence was thrown in favor of Mr..
Henry in the recent contest.
Col. Power has held the position long
time, and this fact no doubt, contributed
to his defeat. But his present seeming
bad fortune, may turn out for his advan-
tage. OF course he will continue to pub
lish THECLARIoN, and endeavor to increase
its popularity with the people OF Missis-
sippi. 1t is our deliberate opinion, that
the public printing is disadvantage to
a newspaper that seeks to influence public
sentiment and to make itself power in the
land. THE CLARION is now free, untram.
meled and unrestrained by official patronage
and we look for it to be a better paper than
ever before. A free discussion Of public
men and measures, and fair and fearless
criticism of political methods, is one Of
the great needs of Mississippi The pub
fishers OF THE CLARION can now devote
all their energies to their newspaper, and
we wish them increased success and pros
perty in the field of journalism.
