A copyright case which IL very simple,
hut nevertheless interesting, Is being
heard in Boston by Judge Colt in the
H. s. Circuit court. Houghton, Mifiin
& Co. have brought an action for an
injunction against r. III. White
e. Co. 10 enjoin that firm from selling
s'pirated' editions of Holmes Profess
por: and also against Houghton & Dut-
ton for selling Stoves Minister'S Woo
ing.
The infringements complained of are
the fruits or the controversy in the
case OF Holmes VS. Hurst. In that It
appeared that the publishers OF the
Atlantic Monthly had neglected proper
ly TO secure copyright during 1868 and
I'm consequence The Autocrat of the
Breakfast Table. published serially in
that magazine during that year. be-
came public property. The works in
volved in the present suits were pub
lished serially in the same magazine
during the following year, and the
publishers were apparently equally ne
glectful In securing copyright. 1t now
appears however that valid copyright
was secured on the last issue of the
year. December. 1853. and The Min
ister's woolng was published in book
form and properly entered for copy
right before publication in the Atlantic
Monthly Of the last thirteen chapters.
The complainants concede that the
copyright on the larger portion of each
work has been lost. but brought the
suits 10 enjoin the sale Of editions con-
tanning the concluding portions of both
works. on which they contend that the
copyright still holds and is alive.

To the Editor: In almost every news
paper I pick up, / see that the death
angel is doing his work, and feel there
are sad hearts. But with double force,
l felt it the other day, when l read that
Charlie Holt of Haw River. was dead;
that there were sad hearts in every
home in that town. My acquaintance
with him dates back about two years.
During this short time l had learned that
there was a big heart in him. AS pastor
of one of the churches at Haw River |
mingled fully with those who worked in
the cotton mills at that place. Every
where ! went and almost from every
tongue, / heard of the kind acts of
Charlie Holt. Here is one of many Incl
dents, showing the big soul in the man:
widow lady told me that her husband,
after working in the cotton mill for
years, was taken with consumption, and
after a lingering illness died, leaving her
and her little children to struggle through
life. Charlie Holt furnished nice coffin
in which to bury him; and from then on
never collected a cent of rent for the
house in which she has lived. BY her eff
forts she fed and clothed her children,
and the big hearted Charlie Holt furnish
ed the house in which they lived free OF
rent. w. G. CLEMENTS.

DROVE A CAB IN CHARLOTTE.
Remarkable Rise From Obscurity of One Of
England's Peers.
Saturday Blade.)

Saturday Blade.)
A strange career has been that of Percy
Vernon, for years a wanderer in the Uni
ted States and England, glad to do the
most mental service but who now is q
full iledged English lord. Vernon S
change of fortune was brought about by
the death OF an uncle. His lordship now
takes his ease at his country seat OF
Farmingwoods, in Northamptonshire, and
entertains at his London town house, No.
Belgrave place, far removed from the
scenes of his humble services in this
country.
His father was a clergyman of small
means who intended his son for the
army. Failing to pass his examination
for commission, and the funds at home
being so scant that he felt himself a
burden there, Percy enlisted in the royal
artillery. Eight months of the life of
a private of artillery was enough for the
young man, and he got his discharge. He
tried the stage but became disheartened
and resolved to come to America. He
reached New York with only $40 and
this was expended while he vainly sought
work. Finally he got a place in a Bow
cry restaurant and stayed there short
time when he went to Charlotte, N. c.,
where he hoped to get a start in the
nursery business. Failing in this, he
drove carriage for a time. Then he
drifted to Charleston, S. c., and shipped
as cook on a fishing sloop. The sloop was
wrecked soon after and again Vernon
was stranded. After a time he became
steward of a coast steamer and later
was on a slow steamer running between
Wilmington, N. c., and New York. In two
years he had saved enough money to pay
his passage to England and he then be-
came an actor, attaining considerable sue
cess. Then he tried managing a com
pany but his venture resulted in failure.
His relatives coming to his assistance,
he was given charge of extensive nur-
series and did well for a time, but his
ill-luck soon manifested itself and he
made failure again. Then he shipped
as steward on a coast steamer and
finally got on to a ship bound for Brazil
as steward. He was taken sick and put
ashore at Rio de Janeiro, from which
port he was shipped back to England
as a charity passenger. For three
months he was without work and then
derer's luck and ever since all has been
smooth sailing.
Lord Percy says he has found his best
friends among those who fill humble po-
sitions in life and now that he is pros
porous proposes that some of those who
befriended him with no hope for re-
ward shall be given evidence of his appre
citation.

In making reduction in the war
taxes the Ways and Means Committee
left the tax on bank checks. One
member suggested the repeal of that
tax, but the proposition was voted
down because, as Mr.. Payne said, mot
single request has been made for re-
peal by any bank"-thus admitting
that nobody gets any consideration I'M
der this administration unless a lobby
demands it. The bankers are being
heard from and the tax annoying,
useless and unnecessary probab-
w be knocked out in the Senate if the
banks bring enough pressure to bear.
