In a Lumber Slash.

A doctor OF divinity, who writes to
tie Forest and Stream of his angling
adventures, tells OF being stuck in d
"slash:" Presently we came to q
"]umber slash" This signifies q Sec
ton of Forest where hcmlock trees
have been fellcd in the winter, Their
trunks peeled off the marketable bark,
and then left to decay. The stumps
here were about six feet high. indi-
eating the depth of snow on the
ground at the time the woodman did
his work; the branches remained on
the prone trees, making An almost
impenetrable barricade. 1t is easier
getting n comb through tramp's

labyrinth Of dry brush. Alas! for me

My haste had served to wind my line

Mrs: Ulysses s. Grant.

OF the living wives OF presidents Mrs.
Ulysses S. Grant leads as quiet q life
as any. She has gone to Florida now
with the family Of ex- Governor Leland
Stanford, with whom she is very init:
mate. She has of late been writing
"reminiscences. When Col. Fred Grant
wa" asked if she meant to publish them
in q book he replied that her work in
that way was entirely O. matter of
impulse, and that there WAS no GER
tainty asyet whether it would be print.
ed. 1t is sure that she will not lack op.
Portun'ty. Uncounted publishers are
bidders tor the manuscript, but they
are told that she has nothing to sell.
The probability is that Mark Twain's
firm. having done as we'll for her and
themselves in the issue of Gen. Grants
memoirs, will be able and willing to
outbid their rivals. Nevertheless,
when Ulysses S. Grant, Jr.. went into
The Cosmopolitan Magazine as vice
president and stakeholder, it was
thought in literary circles that Mrs.
Grant would help him by putting her
"reminiscences into that periodical.
Col: Grant denies strenuously that
his brother is being backed in any
other way than by loan OF money
from his mother, and the authorized
assertion is that. although shares of
the stock stand in young Ulysses
name. he is trustee for her. That is
u legal technicality to protect him as
a bankrupt from the Grant e. Ward
failure. My careful prediction is that
Mrs. Grant will publish something
within the year.-Clara Belle in Chi
cago Tribune.

an editor when he writes an article
that particularly pleases them. for
fear of making him proud, We suppose.
but if they find anything that does
not accord precisely with their views,
they will neglect their Business to
hunt him up and tell him of it. Pshaw!
dear friends; dou't think YOU will

The Rights of inventors

When an inventor brincs out some
thing that accomplishes useful pur.
pose not before accomplished, or
does this better or more economically
than it has been done, it is reasonably
certain he has invented something in
the value of whit he has an interest.
And this point is the one that is over.
looked by those who declaim against
the rights OF inventors in favor of
some one who tried to do something
similar twenty years before. The
very fact that the party who tried
first did not succeed is fairly good
evidence that he did not make the in.
vention. All recent construction of
patent law is in favor of sustaining
the inventor who accomplishes some
thing, as against the man who tried
and failed, even though the means
used are very similar. And this is
justice and common sense. The pat
ent laws are presumably in the inter-
est of the public. and the public is
interested in the inventor to exactly
the extent that 1t is benefited by him.

Fair BARGAIN.

A dishonest man deserves to meet
rogues and to be tricked by them,
though, of course. one mans deceit
does not justify an attempt to deceive
him. The following illustration of
"thief meeting thief" comes from Cali
fornia Pastoral. A certain rancho
owner in the district of Monterey, q
man who occupied a prominent posi-.
ton in California Gin the thirties,'
one day needed a few hides to com
plete a contract, and employed a man
to furnish them on that same day.
Now it was we'll known that this
person was never over-scrupulous in
his manner OF obi tanning hides. and for
this reason the contractor, who need
ed them quickly, and at no advanced
price had applied to him.
II cannot bring them in to-day" re.
monstrated the vaquero (cow. herd).

"But I have not the hides, and the

or five leagues away"
"Before twelve o'clock to.night bring
me the hides l need. Now co."
The job was done. The vaquero was
praised and paid.
But next day when the ranchero's
Indian went for his masters COWS he
found many of them missing. A chill.
ing suspicion crept upon the owner OF
the rancho. He mounted horse, and
rode forth. and after due search,
found the carcasses OF his COWS in tie
chaparral, in the upper end OF a can.
on: He rode slowly back, his wrath
rising meanwhile.
"You villain, you killed nv cuws:"
he cried furiously, when he had found
vaquero.
Certainly. sir, it was my only
chance of filling your peremptory or.

The ranchero was too shrewd not
to see that he himself had set the trap
In which he had been caught. He had
to be content with stormine and kick
