ictim Of human Dinbolism.


New York, March 2S.--In an uptown
boarding house the other day Lizzie VIII
son was found dead. because OF poison
she had taken, to end a. life out which
all pride had been blotted by sin. An
astrologer-Ah met by name whose as
sistant she was, had sought TO degrade
her beyond description, and she fled from
him. He wrote in anger to the girl 3
aged mother over the ocean, and told her
that her child was a moral wreck Then,
with the keenness Of diabolism he hunted
down his prey, told her what he bad
done, and promised, if she would return
to him, that he would write again to- the
mother and declare his previous letter g
lie. This was done, but soon abuse again
drove her forth, and next day she was
found dead, and beside her poor body
Were letters that were opened to-day by
a coroner. The dead girl turned in her
shroud to arraign the man Ahmet. She
had written to HIM: II want you as IL
right, not as a favor, to bury me. You
have ruined my life at home. cannot
ever be received again. Send d letter
you will find here to my mother, and she
will refund you all it will cost you.
Please have me cremated, is all i ask,
and keep the thing rs well aspossible out
of the papers" This much she reached
back from her coffin to claim, and then
her thought had turned with bitterness
to her future: You shall never be
happy again if have anything to do i'll
the great unknown, which I am about to
enter upon
Thus the letter ended, and here is
what was said to the mother In the writ
ing she had asked to have sent to Mrs.
Neil Grossly, Ravcrnett postofice, lis
burn County Antrim, Ireland Mother:
am about to take the life which has
always been my curse. Forgive me.
Think no more of your unhappy daughter.
But, mother. L have not done the things

| costs. Please tell grandma l shall wait
for her, but don't tell her at once that !

Next, the coroner's officials read a note
| addressed simply For my boy" anC
this is how it ran: My Dear Boy: You
alone will know what L allude to- I can
not stand it any longer. 1 love. You bette,
than life. You are the only one who has

court Of the United States to-day. affhrmetdFF
the decision of the lower court in the case
Of Henry Huber ct al, vs.. The y. e ".
Nelson Mining company, appealed from
the circuit court for the Eastern district
Of Missouri. The opinion was delivered
by Justice BIatchford. A patent for an
improvement in water closets was issued
April Z, 1874, In Great Britain. to the
patentees, who assigned to James E.
Boyle. The patent was to run for four.
teen years, with proyiso that if 4
stamp duty of f1OO was not paid within
seven years of date Of issue, the patent.
would at the expira ton of that term be-
come void. Application for a patent in
the United States, under the assignment,
was made Nov. 90, 1881, and the patent
granted June p, 1882. Boyle then as
signed to Huber The f1OO stamp duty
was not paid in Great Britain within the
time required. The patent, atherefore, be-
came void April Z, 1881. Under these
facts the circuit court held that the pat
ent granted in the United States was void
because it was granted after the British
patent had ceased to exist. and this de-
cision was to-day affirmed by the supreme
court. Z. s
A most important result Of this decis-
ion is called to public attention by the
chief officials of the patent Office. The
court decided that a foreign patent hay
ing lapsed, by reason of non-payment OF
taxes, an American patent granted there
after for the same invention is void.
This action, it is said at the patent office,
destroys Edison's quadruplex telegraph
patent and also his three microphone
patents, leaving the Bell company, after
| January next, to stand wholly on the
| Berliner patent.
