though undoubtedly they did it well-he
had no claim to protection? AS a mat
| ter of fact, he Is protected But In
point of Originality" is there any diff
| ference between his work and that of
reporter?
This brings us to the question of the
| Originality which is essential to CO.
| pyright work. | submit that the word
has been mislnterpreted by being used
i'll secondary and restricted sense
which 1t was not intended to bear, or
from which at all events 1t has been
enfranchised by the decisions of the
courts. Originality means pretty much
the same as creation" as distinguished
from mere imitation or copying. 1t
does not necessarily refer to the quail
ties OF imagination, fancy &c. A mans
work is original if he originated 1t,
whatever it may be: and If a man re-
ports speech he is the originator or
author Of that report, and that report is
original-none the less because 1t is
report. The speech reported Is original
Qet us hope) in its own way. Just as
originality in the subject of q portrait
does not prevent the portrait from be-
ing original also.
Moreover, it would seem most desira-
BILE that a very wide Interpretation
should be allowed to the word original
ity, and cases might be suggested in
which pure and simple copying should
be entitled to protection. Suppose an
enterprising newspaper proprietor gave
a man five thousand pounds to go out tc
Thibet and bring home an exact tran
script Of manuscript there. The man
succeeds in his mission, and brings
home the transcript, which is forthwith
published In the newspaper, Is 1T 80
certain that the law courts would per-
NIT other newspapers to pirate this con-
tribution which had cost that man five
thousand pounds, and which but for his
enterprise would never have seen the |
light?
There are some minds which cannot |
see the difference between a speech and |
the report of speech, and some which |
find great difficulty in distinguishing |
between events and the news OF events !
There may be some-indeed, 1t must be |
presumed that there are-wha see no
difference between man and his por-
trait or a substance and its shadow.
But TO such your correspondent does
not address himself.-London Times.

The Yellow Pumpkin PIE,


When quail on toast is fiat and stale,
Roast duck begins to pail,
Rich cream and Ices fall to please
And salads not at all.
When gay champagne no longer brings
A sparkle to the eye,
My stated palate yearns again
For yellow pumpkin pie
When trees are striped and gardens bare
And waiting for the SHOWS,
1t glimmers on the pantry shelves
In golden rows on rows.
The farmhouse door Is left ajar,
And hungry passers-by
Are greeted with spicy smell
or yellow pumpkin pie.
hasten homeward once a year
When nights are sharp with frost,
To messy roofs and old red barns
In rolling meadows lost.
There scattered gloges of shining gold
There scattered globes Of shining gold
And there / taste once more the sweets
or yellow pumpkin pie.

GOOD FORK IN GEORGJ1.

Georgia isn't as illiberal as some peo-
pie have assumed she was. The voting
negroes of Georgia will not be dis
franchised this year. The committee on
constitutional amendments in the lower
branch of the legislature reported fav-
orably upon the scheme to establish
new test, by which nobody should be
competent voter unless he not only
could read and write any paragraph of
the Constitution, but also We're able to
understand and give reasonable inter-
probation of it-except that any man
who was entitled to vote in January.
1857, or the lineal descendant of any
such man, might vote, even if he did not
possess the educational qualification
This would enable white election Off
Gals under the forms of law to deny the
suffrage to almost every black man in
the State. When the matter came up
in the house Tuesday, the chairman of
the very committee which by major
ity vote had reported 1t favorably, OF
posed it's passage as unwise, and the
only one to say a word for it was it's
introducer. But two representatives
Joined him when the roll was called,
while 1877 members voted against the
bill
This action is encoura ging. 1t will
add much to the good reputation which
Georgia has had.

There are many and conspicuous
reasons for thankfulness to-day. The
country is very prosperous. We are
selling much stuff at good prices
Aguinaldo is running so fast that he
hasn't time to stop to pick up his hat
No new Christian and civilizing war is
in sight. The trusts are not any more
greedy than they were expected to be.
People are generally at work at fair
wages. The playing and the talking of
golf are improving. Education is in no
danger Of demolition. The weather is
all that can be desired barring a ten
dency to drought. Turkeys are fairly
fat and sold at reasonable prices And
the mercy Of the Lord endureth for
ever
For these and the other reasons let
us eat, drink and be merry to-day, for
tomorrow we shall have to go to work
again.

The Head Ofthe Family.

Thanksgiving day Is almost here,
Season of gladness, and good cheer,
And bounteous feast,
When all eat turkey, till sigh
Warns them to leave place for pie
Six kinds, at least
All gayly eat with hearty will,
Excepting him who has to fill
Their frequent plates.
He has to stand and carve, and pile
The turkeys light and dark meat, while
His hunger waits.
Then here's to him who has to see
All others quickly fed while he
Must WELD the knife
Working with ardor fierce and grim,
Does anybody envy him? .
Not on your life.

A discovery that is of great import
Rnce to New South Wales Is the loca :
fion of deposits of cinnabar in the
Clarence river district, near Yulgilbar
Biologists have examined the district
quite carefully and have located three
parallel lodes, which improve as they
go down. Machinery to mine and treat
the ore is being erected, and the samples
already found are said to be superior
to the products Of the American and
Spanish mines Other deposits of
quicksilver are being investigated, and
if the outcome Is as successful as pres
ent conditions indicate, it will have
very important effect on Australian
mining, as mercury is largely used in
treating gold ore and is very large

The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser reports that there is an effort on
foot to form an organization that shall
purchase and control large sections Of
the flat, sandy shoals and islands that
form for the most part the shores of
North Carolina. Many thousands of
acres Of such land belong to the gov
eminent and can readily be bought for
mere song. The idea is that by pur-
chasing these lands the wild fowl that
haunt Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds,
as well as contiguous waters, may be
protected from the poaching habits of
the natives, who "fire-Iight" them and
market-hunt to the destruction of
vast numbers of birds every season. 1t
is hoped that sufficient weight may be
brought to bear upon the North Caro-
lima Legislature, so that the peculiar
nonresident laws Of Dare and other
counties similarly situated, may be
amended and put into sensible shape.
The movement has very strong back
ing, and gives every promise of sue
eeeding in what it is undertaking.

native sources in Picking, declares that
the Dowager Empress, who has been
testing the opinion of the general pub

out the country, has come to the con-
clusion that any attempt at the deposit

be met by very determined opposition

more consideration to the Emperor,
giving him more freedom to speak on
state affairs during the usual official

encouraged him to speak to the Grand

The carnival Of the crooks is still in prog.

The man held up was John II. Umlauf Of
Locust Dale. He met Peter Kerrgau
and pal, and two Others, whose names
are not given, in William Shortall's saloon in
the basement at the northeast corner of Main
and Centre streets, last night, between nine
and ten o'clock. The quartette asked I'm
lauf to take a walk and see the sights Of the
town. Umlauf was out for good time and
he readily accepted the invitation He was
taken out Cherry street aud his companions
were very congenial aud when one of them
said to him Ring upl' Umauf laughed. lie
thought the expression was a new edition of
humorous slang. but Kerrigan took the
humor out Of the situation when he told
Umlauf that ring up" meant il was time tor
a collection and the gang wanted money. OF
course, Umlauf objected and commenced to
cry out Murder Police !" One of the gang
grabbed him, another placed a hand over his
mouth to stitle his cries and the remaining
two rifled his pockets. The gang secured
$3.50 and skipped Umauf sought the police
and gave a description of his assaiIants.
Policemen Hand and Foyle arrested the
two men and they were locked up. This
morning they were taken before Justice
Shoemaker and formally identified by the
prosecutor, after which they were committed
to Jail without bail Tie other two men are

The scene of the attempted robbery was
the Farmers hotel, corner of Main aud Coal
| streets. 1t occurred at about two o'clock
this morning. Four men made their way
through a hall from the Coal street side Of
the hotel to the yard at the rear OF the
kitchen. They then forced open the kitchen
window and entered, after which they opened
door leading to Coal street, 50 as to make
an exit easy in case of discovery. The rob
bers then tried to open the door Of a stairway
leading upstairs from the kitchen. The rat
tling of the door latch aroused = dog upstairs
and the barking awakened George Leitzel,
the hotel proprietor, who left his bed, pro-
cured revolver and stood at the top of the
stairway, waiting for game. But the robbers
did not get within the hiring liue. They
could not open the door without making
noise. Leitzel heard one Of them say How

The robbers fled, having evidently become
alarmed by the continued barking of the
dog. Mr. Letzel fired two shots, but it is

POPULAR CANDIDATE.
A Democratic Voter Endorses W. 5. Lelb
for Prothonotary.


From the following communication, which
we copy from a recent issue Of the Miners
Journal, it would seem that Mr.. Leib, the
Republican candidate for Prothonotsry, has
very bright prospects Of succeeding Colonel
James K. Deegan;

2bth of last month you said Deputy Pro
thonotary Leib, who is the Republican candi-
date Tor Prothonotary, made many new aud
lasting friends this term of COURT
We happened to be az the county seat the
first two days Of Civil Court aud from what
we saw we think the journal was right as TO
Mr.. Leib's ability TO make new friends aud TO
keep old ones This was true before he ever
thought of being candidate, for since he
hr5t filled his present position he was one Of
tue most 8tiable aud Obliging officials on the
hill. We say this from a knowledge We have
Of that particular Office and how arduous IL is
TO NIL II to the full letter Of the law, and at
the same time be agreeable 10 those having
business. No matter how iuconsiderate peo-
pie are and whatever their troubles may
be, Mr. Loib has always showed a marked
courtesy that has won for him the friendship
OF people Of every political complexion since
his advent into politics
We have known nearly every PrOtbouOtary
for the last forty years, and while the bust
ness of the office has thrice multiplied in that
time there has never in Mr.. Leib's time teen
single hitch, or cause of complaint Mr.
Leib has filled his present position to the sat
istaction of the people. There can be no sus-
picion Of incapacity, or other lack Of fitness,
IN him for the place to which he aspires and
he will be elected if the votes of Democrats
who appreciate good clean service ever elected
