The president sent his son, NJ, Paul Lou
bet, to express his good wishes
NJ. Nictorien Sardou was himself mar
stances. AS young man he worked and
starved in n garnet, and disappointment
preyed upon his nerves till he fell ILL., \
young actress, Mile. de Brecourt, took
compassion upon him, nurSed him back
to health and introduced his work to the
famous actress Dejazet, through whom
he was first acted
Sardou fell in love with and married
his benefactreSs, whose death, ten years
later, was the one great sorrow of his
life. Sardou has made more money than
any other dramatist, and he is probably
the only man who ever gave Sarah Bern
hardt n shaking.
The incident occurred at a rehearsal
and at a period when the divine Sarah
was less eminent than she is now. They
differed a TO the way in which a passage
should be detained, and Sardou, losing
his temper. seized the actress by the
shoulder and gave her shaking. She
retorted by slapping his face and after
ward challenged him to duel.-London

COlUMBlA'S HEADGEAR.
The Helmet on the Goddess on the
Capitol Mt Warrington.

Many visitors to the capitol at Wash
ington who view that grand building for
the first time are puzzled over the head
gear worn by the goddess of freedom
that surmounts the dome and which nat
utally suggests an Indian maiden rather
than dignifed goddess. Its great alt-
tuJc, nearly 300 feet tends cnchant-
ment to the view" aud leaves the observ-
or in doubt as to the real character of
the statue.
There is an interesting story about the
head ornament Of the goddess with
which jefferson Davis IL intimately con-
nected. awford's original model of
the statue had liberty cap, jewelcd
with circle of stars. The cap was in
shape and style what is known as the
Phrygian cap, "the badge of the freed
slave" as it was characterized by Jeffer-
son Davis in his letter to Captain NJ. C..
Meiggs, the engineer officer in charge Of
the building.
There was considerable correspondence
between Mr. Davis, who was at the time
secretary of war, and Mr.. Crawford,
which passed through Captain Meiggs,
the result of which was n modification
of the original design and substitution Of
a helmet surrounded by n crest of eagle
plumes, for the liberty cap, which gives
il the appearance Of an Indian war bon
| net.
! In n letter to Captain Meiggs dated
| Jan. IL, 1856, Secretary Davis wrote:
as TO the cap, can only say, without
/ Intending to press the objection formerly
made, that it seems to me its history
renders it inappropriate to Il people who
were born free and would not be easily
enslaved. But the liberty
cap has an established origin in its use
as the badge Of the freed slave, and,
though it should have another emblemat-
ic meaning today, n recurrence to that
origin may give to it in the future the
same popular acceptation which 1t had
in the past"
In compliance with the suggestions and
to meet the objections Of Mr.. Davis
Crawford changed his design and OH
March IS. 1856, wrote Captain Meiggs;
81 read with much pleasure the letter OF
the honorable secretary. and his remarks
have induced me to dispense with the
cap and put in its place helmet. the
crest of which is composed of an eagles
head and a bold arrangement Of feathers
suggested by the costume of our Indian
tribes"
The statue is 10 feet 6 inches high and
weighs IA ,9S5 pounds. 1t was raised &c
its place in five sections, two weeks be
ing occupied in the work. The GROWING
section was raised and put in place al
noon on Dec. ., 1858, when field bat

TRADEMARKS.
What II Costs to Register Them In
NnrlOus COuntries.

The business of registering trademarks
has become Il most important industry.
There was a time, comparatively few
years ago, when the question Of protect
ing trademarks did not enter into the
commercial value Of the articles involved
as it does now. This is due to the enor-
nous increase in advertising Of health
foods, cereals, patent medicines and ath-
letc novelties. The tariff of charges for
registering trademarks in the various
countries seems in some instances to he
based upon the idea that authorized Ia
bells and the like are as much Il luxury as
a coach and four. In Iululand, Peru,
Uruguay. Uongkong and Granada the
tariff fixed by law for each trademark is
S145 in gold, the highest on the entire
list.
In this country trademarks are filed
with the patent Office, and the price for
registering one is $50, which is the lowest
rate charged anywhere. Canada charges
only $50 for general or a special trade
mark. There are some countries in Eu-
rope that demand 500 for registering a
trademark, but in Grent Britain, Ger
many, Austria. France and Spain the fee
in each case is So. This is the rate ask
ed in the majority Of the English colo
MES. including New South Wales and
New Zealand, but in Cape Colony it is
SllJ and in South Africa S135. The lat
ter price is also demanded in Costa Risl.

ietry for trademarks are obtainable In
