Important Clause in New British
Copyright Law.

Copyright Law.
LONDON, Aug. 10.-The copyright bill
as amended by the house of lords select
committee has been issued In a mem
orandum to the bill Lord Thring calls
attention to clause u, which provides
that the proprietor of any newspaper
or news agency shall be entitled for
eighteen hours to the exclusive right
of publishing foreign news which he
has obtained specially and Independently,
and imposes a minimum penalty of ESQ
on each copy of a publication in which
such news is published within eighteen
hours, without the consent of the pro-
prietor. His lOrdship remarks that the
clause adds TO the law by making news
in Independent form in which it is con-
veyed the subject of copyright and by
imposing an efficient penalty for infringe
ment. He adds that there seems no rea-
son why news acquired by the exercise
of great ability and great expense should
not be protected by copyright as much as
a letter or article commenting on news
SO acquired.

He joined the union army, ceased to send

Then he reappeared and disappeared.
Finally he reappeared at the Soldiers

during the national encampment in Gin
cinnau in 1898 his wife heard that he was
spending money freely and applied for
part of his pension. Myers then sued for
divorce, charging her with absence.

The time of planting, however, now

rapid, because the atmosphere is usu-

break on the little pipes which the
pores between the soil and grains form

the soil escapes. This is accomplished

An lnalan Legend wherein AppeaRs
q Mixture of whisky aAa
Sentlnent.

A writer who visited the C0hoes fails
many years ago, gives the following ac-
count of tradition existing among the
Indians who then inhabited the sur
rounding country. The recital would
have been very sad and touching - ii
he'd left out the whisky:
MANY years since, an Indian and 2
squaw. having made too free with the
bottle. were carelessly padding along
the Mohawk in their canoe. On sud-
den, perceiving themselves irresistibly
drawn by the current and hurried down
the stream to the dreadful cataract,
looking upon their fate as inevitable,
they composed themselves to die with
resolution, in = manner worthy OF their
ancestors. They drank the last dregs
of the intoxicating cup and began the
melancholy death song.
"Occuna was dashed to pieces against
the rocks; his faithful c0nsort escaped,
but by what miracle has never been
known. The Indians Of their tribe have
preserved this incident by faithful ira
lition, and as often as any of them
pass the fatal spot, they make solemn
halt. and commemorate the death of
Occuna.
'sThey have even remembered the
song that the lovers alternately chanted
whiel hurrying into the jaws of disso-
luton. The following is literal trans
lation, though am sensible that much
of the force and beauty of the original
is wanting:
Daughter of mighty warrior! the
great Manitou calls me hence; he bids
me hasten into his presence; l hear his
voice in the stream; perceive his spirit
in the moving waters.
Art thou not thy<elf mighty war
rior, o Occuna? Hath not thy hatchet
been repeatedly bathed in the blood OF
thine enemies? Hath the feet deer
ever escaped thy arrows, or the beaver
eluded thy pursuit Why, then, shoulslst
thou fear to go into the presence OF
Manitou?
"'Manitou regardeth the brave-he
respecteth' the prayer of the mighty!
When 1 selected thee from the daugh-
tiers of thy mother, l promised to live
and die with thee. The Thunderer has
called us together.
Welcome, O shade of Oriska, the
great chief of the invincible Senecas!
Lo, a warrior and the daughter of
warrior come to join you in the feast
of the blessed
".At this song, says the Indians, even
fate relented and Manitou had spared
| the chief, but that the decree of Heaven
was irrevocable. Yet his magnanimity
was well rewarded. Raised high above
the regions of the moon. he views with
joy the prosperous huntings of the war
riors; he gives pleasant dreams to his
friends and terrifies their enemies with
disastrous omens." Argus.
