President Harrison's Son Abroad.

Russell Harrison, son of the Presi-
dent, is having royal time abroad
according to cahle dispatch to the
New York World. He has dined
with the Queen and slept in Windsor
Castle one night; has taken luncheon
with the Prince of Wales aud his fam
ily at Marlborough House, and is
spending a day with the Marquis of
Salisbury at fairfield House, in Hert-
fordshire. When seen by your GORE.
spondent Mr.. Harrison was en-
gagged in packing neckties, silk
underclothing, silver-mounted perfume
bottles and monogrammed toothbrush
into series of beautiful new Russian
leather valises, with initials r. IL. pre-
paratory to taking the train for the
Prime Minister'S county seat, where he
spends the night Mr.. Harrison said
that court etiquette forbade his going
into details concerning his reception at
Windsor Castle and Marlborough
House, and Minister Lincoln, who was
with him during his visits, and advised
him not to talk about them.

LAWYERS, RIG FEES.
CASES IN WHICH A FORTUNE WAS RE-
CFIvED FROM ONE CLIENT.

The most lucrative classes of legal
work are patents, railroads, wills and
real estate. Many lawyer has made
his everlasting fortune out of single
patent case. 1t is common report that
George Harding received for his pro-
fessional services in the litigation over
the oleomargarine patent enough money
to enable him to Uuild the enormous
Hotel Kaatersl<il up in the Catskill
Mountains, and could have retired from
patent practice then and there had he
been so disposed Mr. Harding, who,
by the way, is that proverbially acute
parsonage "a Pniladelphis lawyer is
yet in tn prime of life, hale, with
whiskered, rosy-faced, English looking
and .toutly proportioped. 1t is posi-
BILE that when he named this famous fee
Of his up in the C'tskills he didn't
know that Kaaterskill means "Tom- @ at
Greek"
A resume Of all the great patent
ltigators of the past twenty-five years
would be simply list of cases in which
enormous fees have been paid, and in
most cases earned. "a patent lawyer,
said Mr.. William Hildreth Field, "often
earns fortune in one case, because he
may often be compelled TO give mp for
that one case all his 9th ar business, and
for years, day in and day out, month
after month and actually year after
year; devote all his energies to the mas
terry, first of the principles, the detail,
the technique of the patent and then to
placing them properly before the courts
getting DEGREES for his clients rights
emoluments and enforcing those de-
crees perhaps in every state in the
union.
"The Howe sewing machine patent
is a case in point. There are indre toe
many cases in point-.cases, too, OF the
first magnitude-for me to attempt
even to enum crate them but the Howe
case will do for an illustration. The
Howe people retained as their counse
| a Mr.. Jordon' They told him he mus
give up all his other business and at
tend only to their patents. For this,
in the nature of fee, they paid him
large annual salary. But in addition
they had TO give Mr.. Jordon the righ
| to retain at their expense attorneys il
many other states TO watch closely the
progress of any suits Howe might hav'
in court. These fees in the aggregate
were, of course, enormous, but the in
come from which they were met wa
enormous. Every sewing machine il
the country had to pay Howe S5 fo
the use of his patent on the eye In ih
point of needle for example. .'-Nea

A GALL TO THE PRoH1BITIoNIsTs OF
OOLULBIA COUNTY.

You are hereby respectfully but ear
nestly requested to call meetings in
your several townships and boroughs,
and choose two or more delegates TO
represent you in the county conven-
ton to be held in the free church at,
Millvile, Pa, on Saturday, August II,
1889, at 2 o'clock p. m. Let the mem
bers of the County Centrrl COMMITTEES
especially, see to it that we have full
attendance, As very important business
will be presented for consideration.
The times demand concentrated, Wig
orous action. Let our central idea be
first, last and all the time, the complete
overthrow of the liquor traffic. Let
us marshal our forces and mass them
in solid phalanx, not only to resist the
common enemy of our HON, and coun-
try, but to assume the aggressive, and
attack him 10 his strongly entrenched
position behind the bul warks of politi-
cal pariisanship.
The apparent ease with which our
opponents have swept away most the
mon. partisan efforts to establish prohi-
btion should, by this time, give us at
least faint conception of their power.
They are powerful but not invincible-
for with right, jnstice and God on our
side even the gates Of hell shall not
prevail against ~ II we are true 10
our best interests and the best inter.
ests of our fellow men, If honor, truth,
Justice and temperance in their truest
sense perch upon our banners, zone
shall chase a thousand and two shall
put ten thousand to flight :" Let us,
therefor, resolve, in the strength of the
| Lord, to grid on our arlnor, stand
| shoulder to shoulder in this irrepress'-
BILE conflict that is now upon us. The
| qua 20 Of battle has been thrown. The
Goliath of Rum has detied the com
| biued forces of the friends of virtue
and sobriety, and We dare not remain
neutral. Our innate sense of right and
wrong compels us TO take one side OF
the other. Let there be no half way
measures-no compromise with Satan
and his minions, but with our eyes, onr
purposes, oar hearts fixed upon the one
central ilea, the total exitrpation not
only from our State, but from our ma
ton, of the diabolical business of ruin.
ing souls as well as bo lies, let us gc
forward, straight as the arrow to the

Struggle will, or may be long and Sc

in the sixteenth century Latin manu-
script translations of his work, in
which, by the way, is also delineated

Trout Gan Remember.

"Some time before the death of Seth
Green the celebrated New York fish
culturist and naturalist" said a Phila'
delphian who takes great interest in
piscicultural matters, 81 paid a visit
with him to the fish hatchery OF the
State at Caledonia. In one OF the
ponds there at that time there were 5,
900 large brook trout, every one OF
which had been captured with the fly
tied on barbless hooks-in unfreqnent-
ed brooks in the Adirondack region.
These trout Mr.. Green said, had con-
WINGED him that fish have reasonable
power and memory. When they were
hooked, he said, and were reeled slowly
in by careful fishermen who were cap
turing them for the state pond, they had
time and opportunity to note the form
and character of the tackle that made
them prisoners. According TO Mr.. Green
they never forget that experience.
'sThe trout had been in the pond long
time, the females never being allowed TO
spawn there, and would follow Mr..
Green as he walked along the edge of
the water tossing bits Of liver into the
pond. To show that his theory about
their memory and reasons was correct,
he would carry cane and a fish rod
concealed behind his back If he took
his cone from its ooneealment and held
il out over the water the fish paid no
attention TO il; but the moment he pro
duced the rod with its reel and line at
tached, away the trout scamPered like
a fash to distapt parts OF the pond.
Mr.. Green told ms that he would permit
auy one TO cast fly in that pond 70
his hearts content as he was satisfied
that not one of the trout would come
near il, so vividly did they remember
their enemy Of Eve years ago H. H.

THE CURIOUS BIBLES.
WHAT THEIR NAMES ARE AND WHY THEY
50

WHAT THEIR NAMES ARE AND WHY THEY
ARE so CALLED.
The curious Bibles is general
name given certain editions Of the
Bible which are priced by the mild
lunatlcs known to medical men and to
the general public as bibliomaniac',
not for their intrinsic value, but be-
cause they contain certain old mis-
prints or mistranslati ons.
Foremost among them is The Breeches
Bible, 90 called because in the third
chapter of Genesis it speaks of Adam
and Eve as having made themselves
breeches' of fig leaves. This edition
first appeared in 1850, in quarto form,
and we owe it to the English reformers
exiled at Geneva. During the reign
of Queen Elizabeth it served as the
regular family Bible, its popularity be-
ing due to the Calyinistic comments
that literally besprinkled the margin.
The Bug Bible, which appeared in
London in 1851, and was originally
known as Matthew's Bible is indebted
for its curious soubriquet TO the fact
that the fifth verse of the ninety first
Psalm is translated, $50 thou shalt not
need to b. afraid of any buggies by
night" The original idea of the word
"a goblin or spook-'s still to be
traced in bogie, bugbear, bugaboo.
The Wicked Bible, printed in Lon
don tn 1851, was 40 called because the
negation was omitted IN the Seventh
Commandment, so placing an awful in
junction upon the faithful. This is
much sought after, becaus, it was
promptly suppressed, the printer be-
ing fined $500 by Archbishop Laud.
The money, it is said was devoted to
a supply of Greek type for the Uni
versity of Oxford.
The Vinegar Bible was printed in
17l7 at the Clarendon press, and is so
known because the parable of the vine
yard in the title to the twentieth chap
ter St. Luke is printed Parable of the
Viuegar.'
The Wing or Peacemaker's Bible
obtained its name from an error occur
ing in st. Matthew, ", 6, where "Bless-
ed are the placemakers" is substituted
for "peacemakers."
The Treacle Bible has the passage
in jeremiah, 'Is there no balm i'll Gil
ead?' rendered, sis there no treacle in
Gilead!" and the Douay (Roman Catho-
lie) version has been described as the
Rosin Bible, because the same passage
has the word rosin instead of reace.
Many years ago there existed ia the
Stowe library the Book of Gospels, on
which'the English kings down to Ed
ward vi took the coronation oath,
with q huge brazen cruciiix, which
the mouarchs ki sed on itscpver. The
binding was Ct pouderous oak boardF,
an inch or SO in thickness, fastened by
huge lather thongs. The Printers
Bible IN ,kes David pahstically com
plain that printers in place OF princes
have "persecuted him with a cause.
The au .hor of this Translation may
have be indulging in sly hit at the
Intelligent compositor, which many au'
thors Of the present would gladly re-
echo.

For the first time in many years
there will b, no Democratic county
convention this year, as there are no
Offices to fill. The people will no
doubt rejoice that for once they can

some suckers, however. who make a
business of bleeding candidates, that
are unhappy. Their occupation is
gone for the summer. Next year
there will be number of offices to fill,
with numerous applicants in the field,

all there is in it.

There are some editors in the world
who measure the virtues of the County
Commissioners by the amount of ofiici-

CoLuMBIAN has never heaped abuse on

ing, and on the other hand it has not
hesitated to criticise such actions as de-
serve criticism, on the part of boards
that were giving it full share of
their work.
