The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-09-15

Ever since the war the story of the
old negro woman who had lust found
out that slavery had been abolished -
has been periodically revived. Only
month or 50 ago a version of it was tele-
graphed from Atlanta And now comes
another narrative of the kind from
Brooklyn, telling of an octoroon who has
been living in slavery in that city for
years, because she thought slavery was
still in force. Is another emancipation
proclamation necessary

The Philosophical Fad.

Possibly 1t is the lingering influence
Of the Puritan maxim that whatever is
pleasurable is wrong, and that rest is
incidence, that impels the American to
make his vacation change of occupa-
ton, and to seek to Improve every
moment Of his time. Certainly in no
other way can we account for the deter
mination with which the man or woman
who ought to battle his or her tired
mind in rest irritates it with lectures,
and plunges into summer schools as If
they were summer pools. The tired
school teacher, who ought to bend all
bis energies to doing nothing, will sit
for hours on a bench in grove to listen
to college professor, who ought to be
idle, too, lecture on Plato's self efface-
ment or Socrates's synthesis.
We have not the slightest desire to
disparage the excellence of such sum
mer schools; we only point TO their sue.
cess as indicating q development OF the
national temperament and the national
desire for improvement. Possibly at
tendance ON them is only compromise
between this temperament and the
human craving for rest, and that the
man who sits apparently wrapt in ad-
miration of Professor Strawthrasher's an
alysis Of Plato's self effacement is send
ing his thoughts far distant and Is really
resting them in q way very uncompli-
mentary to that learned lecturer. Let
us hope he is.-Boston Transcript.

A FAIR ATTORNEY.

Aiasi the world has gone awry
Since Cousin Lillian entered college,
For she has grown so learned
Oft tremble at her wondrous knowledge.
Whenever dare to WOO her now
She frowns that should so annoy her,
And then ptoclaims. with lofty brow,
Her mission is to be lawyer.
Life glides no more on golden wings,
A sunny walt from FL Dorado;
I've learned how true the poet sings.
That coming sorrow casts its shadow.
When tutti frutti lost lite spell
/ felt some hidden grief impended;
When she declined a caramel
knew my rosy dream had ended.
She paints no more on china plaques,
With tints that would have crazed Murillo,
Strange birds that never plumed their backs
When Father Noah braved the billow.
Her fancy limns, with brighter blush,
The splendid triumphs that await her,
When In the court q breathless hush
Gives homage to the queen debater.
IT'S sad to meet such crushing noes
From eyes as blue as Scottish heather;
sTis sad maid with checks OF rose
Should have her heart bound up In leather;
Tis sad to keep ones passion pent.
Though Pallas' arms the fair environ;
But worse to have her quoting Kent
When one is fondly breathing Byron.
When Lillian Is licensed at the law
Her fame, be sure, will live forever;
No barrister will pick flaw
In logic so extremely clever;
The sheriff will forget his nap
To feast upon the lovely vision,
And cen the Judge will set his cap
At her and dream Of love Elysian.

TIL. snltan OF Moronno.

head of his people, bat this is not quite
true. Though one Of his many titles L.
that of guardian and commander of

very shadowy--at least as far as the
Kairouin is concerned-and the sultan
had an opportunity of judging some three
years ago of the danger that might re-
suit from his interference In purely
church government. For some reason
or other he commanded that the mokad-
dunn, or chief trustee Of the university
an Office which has been hereditary in
one family since the death of the Tu-
nissan Fatma-be dismissed.
This was done, but within three days
there arose such an outcry and hubbub
at the sultan's attempt to exercise nm.
wonted authority in church matters that
he very wisely bethought him TO an
nounce that in a dream the apparition
Of his sainted father had appeared to
him and requested him to reinstste the
mokaddum. The mokaddum was rein
stated, and the sultan has never inter
fered again In the affairs Of the univer-
sity.--Fortnightly Review.

A Man of Many Names.

There are almost AZ many ways OF
spelling the name Of Columbus as there
are ways Of arranging the distinguished
discoveries whiskers. On the French
medal he Is called Christophorous Co
lomb; on the Italian he ia Christophorus
Colombo. The new Milanese medal calls
him Cristoforo Colombo, while our own
medal has him plain Christopher Colum-
bus. As for Christopher himself, he
spelled his name Colon. Boston Herald.

The real estate agent experienced a
feeling of exultation when the Walnut
Hills young lady, with peachy cheeks,
admitted that house renting was new

science had become hardened, and with
the thought of his wife and children
there took possession of his mind a fell
determination to show the peachy

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO


There was never D time in the history OF
our country when Me demand for inventions
and improvementsHn the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now. The conVen-
fences of mankind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, ana In
official life, require continual accesslons TO the
appurtenances and implements OF each IN
order to save labor, time and expense. The
political change in the administration OF gov
eminent does not affect the progress OF the
American inventor, who being on the alert,
and ready to perceive the existing deheien-
cies, does not permit the affairs OF govern
ment to deter him from quickly concerning
the remedy to overcome existing dlscrepan-
cies. Too great care cannot be exercised in
choosing a competent and skilltul attorney to
prepare and prosecute an application Tor
patent. Valuable interests have been lost
and destroyed in innumerable instances by
the employment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable TO those
who adopt the "No patent, no pay" system.
Inventors who intrust their business to this
class Of attorneys do so at an imminent risk,
as the breadth and strength OF the patent is
never considered in view. of q quick endeayor
to get an allowance and obtain the fee then
due. The Press Claims Company, John Wed
derburn, General Manager, 6lS + street, N.
W, Washington, D. c., representing a large
number of important daily and weekly papers,
as well as general periodicals of the country,
was instituted to protect It's patrons from the
unsafe methods heretofore employed in this
line of business. The said Company is pre-
pared to take charge of all patent business
entrusted to it for reasonable fees, and pre-
pares and pr~oseeutes applications generally,
including mechanical inventions, design pat
ents, trademarks, labels, copyrights, inter
f~erences, infripgements, validity reports, and
gives especial attention to rejected cases. 1t
IS also prepared to enter into competition
with any firm in securing foreign patents.

Good Conn try Roads.

They would make it possible for the far

They would save him days and weeks OF

They would reduce to a minimum the wear

They would lesson the expense in keeping

They would afford ready communication

Mr.. J.P. Biaize, an extensive real estate
dealer in Des Moins, Iowa, narrowly escaped
one of the severest attacks of pneumonia
while in the northern part Of that state during
a recent blizzard, says the Saturday RevieN.
Mr.. BIaize had occasion to drive several miles
during the storm and was so thoroughly chill
ed that he was unable to get warm, and in
side of an hour after his return he was threat
ened with a severe case of pneumonia or lung
fever. Mr.. Blaise sent to the nearest drug
store and got a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, of which he had often heard, and
effect was wonderful and in q short time he
was breathing quite easily. He kept on TAX
ing the medicine and the next day was able
to- come TO Des Moines. Mr.. Blaize regards
his cure as simply wonderful. For sale by j.
