Fire 
Commissioners 
of 
Chicago 
have determined to investigate the cause 
of the fire, and we may soon expect to 
know certainly whether Mrs. O'Leary's 
cow was the offending party or not. 
THIS season has been* a disastrous one 
lor the large lake steamers, two or three 
of them having been wrecked in Lakes 
Superior and Huron. The India, a large 
iron vessel, built only this season, sunk in 
the Sault Ste. Marie river a few days sincf 
and last month the II. G. Coburn of the 
pamc line was wrecked. 
Tne fact that good drinkable tea ha> 
been grown in Kentucky is pretty wel. 
established, and from the report of th« 
cultivator we do not see why it can no. 
bo grown in many parts of the country 
The climate is about the same as that o 
China, and it is not likely there are othei 
influences that would prevent its cultiva 
tion. 
THE loss of the Arctic whaling fleet, th< 
news of which was received a few day* 
since, is a serious blow to American com 
inerce. 
This was small enough before 
The whole number of vessels engaged ii 
the Arctic fishery this season was forty 
one, and of these thirty-three were lost 
Twenty-one of them were owned in Nev 
Bedford, Massachusetts, whore the lo& 
will bo seriously felt. 
As wo predicted months ago the tri 
\iruph of the New York Times has at las 
come. 
AJone and single handed it com 
raenced the war upon Tammany. Neithe 
threats nor bribes could stop it, and on 
- by one as the evidence 
became ovei 
whelming and public opinion cii9nge> 
other papers came to its aid, until Tarn 
many had scarcely a supporter. 
Wear 
glad to know that the Times is rewarded 
not only by the consciousness of havin 
done a noble work and by the approval o 
the public, but more substantially in th 
shape of a business largely increased.

Tu» Havings Bank, which has beei 
opened in the city during the presei 
week, is an institution that has long beei 
needed here, and one that ought to be o 
great benefit. 
It will afford a safo am 
profitable place of deposit for small sumt 
which regular banks do not care abou 
taking, and for the use of which they pa 
little or nothing. In tho Savings linn. 
any sum from twenty-five cents up wil 
be taken. 
Each depositor will receive a 
share of the profits in proportion to th« 
amount of his deposit, the interest beta), 
compounded every three months. Fev 
men have aqy idea of tho way money ac 
cumulates at compound 
interest, an< 
small sums deposited regularly, 
even 
week say, soon amount up to largo ones 
Every man, woman or boy in receipt o 
• regular wages ought to make a practice c 
laying by something, and this can be don< 
so easily that it will not be felt 
Ther 
are few person who can not save twenty 
five or fifty cents a week and many fritter 
away much larger amounts in useless ex 
penditure. 
These banks have been gres 
successes in other cities and there is n 
ronton why one should not pay well hen 
The officers and trustees are men of tb 
beat financial ability, and the bank wil 
have the benefit of their knowledge an< 
experience. 
They receive nothing fo 
their servicer, the only officer paid bein 
tho Secretary and Treasurer. If properh 
managed the bank will be a public benefi 
in encouraging habits of thrift and ocono 
mv, and in bringing out a large amonn 
of capital that is now kept ta the pocket 
of its owners. 
"Copyright and Oopy wrong." 
I'nder this characteristic caption Thoma* 
Hood, a generation ago, exposed the ta 
justice of the English law for the protec 
tion, or rather destruction, of an author* f 
claim to his own works. He had scam 
influence, doubtless,- ta securing the lam 
of 1838, which, whatever its defects ma} 
be, is far more comprehensive and libera 
than ours. It gives full property ta hi? 
productions to a writer, and to every pos 
lessor of brains enough to make his work 
desirable to others. It enables an artisi 
to copyright his picture, not only for the 
purpose of engraving, as ours does, but 
for all purposes, so that it can not be le-
gally got at by copy or photograph or any 
other process. It protects the owner oi 
an original picture to the same extent; 
punishes the sale of counterfeit pictures; 
copyrights photographs, and secures the 
published designs of an architect agatasi 
piracy. 
In fact it is a broad and liberal 
protection of brain work, which placet 
that class oi workers on the same level 
of advantage with ''workers ta iron, wooo 
and brass.'1 Ours is not so liberal It 
protects a potent medicine, a straw cut-
t> 
ter, a bottle of whisky under the name of 
"Bitten," but it don't protect a painter 
against tho unauthorized diffusion of his 
work all over the land by photographs 
and distorted copies, or an architect 
against the plunder and use of his days 
of thought and years of experience em-
bodied in some 
admirable design. If 
either is shown to the public it must be 
given to the public 
But the English law 
was, at one time, infinitely more liberal 
than ours in a more important respect 
than this. It gave the same protection to 
foreign authors or artists that it gave to its 
own subjects. If a French or Prussian 
book were simultaneously published in 
England and at home, it was allowed the 
benefit of a copyright in both. 
This is 
modified now. But we never allowed 
anything of the kind. We pirated and 
still pirate English books, French, Ger-
man, Italian, anybody's books, and never 
condescended even to thank the com-
plaisant authors for allowing themselves 
to be robbed. It was once proposed to us by 
England that we should join what we may 
mil the literary league of Europe, and 
<ive and take the same benefits to authors, 
but we rejected the advance, as an insult 
lo our liberty of plunder, as indignantly 
is an old Rhine baron of the days of the 
Faust-necht would have rejected a propo-
sition to join a peace society. It was 
profitable to steal and we kept on steal-
ing. 
Henry Clay fought nobly for an in-
ternational copyright treaty which would 
bring us into the honorable circle of hon-
est dealing nations, 
with 
France and 
Prussia, and Hanover and Saxony, but 
he Harpers, who owe their wealth to the 
robbery of European authors about as 
largely as Tweed owes his to the robbery 
>f New York tax payers, lobbied with all 
heir might and money against him, and, 
lided by most other large publishing 
Houses, beat him. In 1K42 Dickens came 
to this country credited with some mission 
>n behalf of international copyright, but 
ie accomplished nothing. In 1854 Mr. 
Everett, as Secretary of State, negotiated 
i mutual copyright treaty, but the big 
publishing houses beat it again on the 
luestion of ratification. Of course the 
English would not long maintain this 
'jug-handle" reciprocity, in which we 
ook all and gave nothing, and on an ap-
>eal to the Lords it was decided to give 
copyright privileges to foreigners only 
vhen residents. 
This broke up, in a good 
legrce, the liberal and honorable combi-
mtion in Europe for the protection of 
brains, and to the United States is due the 
:redit of it, whatever that credit may be. 
Che private interests of a few wealthy 
>ublishers have succeeded in keeping us 
>ehind all the world in this regard. We 
ire a nation of "book thieves," because it 
•as profited the Harpers and their Phila-
ielphia congeners to pirate European 
looks. 
It istime tnis odium was removed, 
nd the injustice remedied. 
Public opin-
>n is ready for i t Public opinion has 
n fact forced even th& Harpers to some-
ling like a practical recognition ©f the 
ighta of foreign authorJB. 
They have 
•aid several of that class within the past 
jw years considerable sums for "advance 
heets," and a celebrated Boston house 
•ays well for English wo(ks, without the 
om pulsion of a copyright. 
We believe 
hat the Senate would no1 w ratify an in-
ternational copyright 
treaty, and this 
eens to be the opinion in England too, 
f we may judge from a dispatch tho other 
lay respecting a meeting | for that object 
n London. 
FASHION ITEMS. 
Oxydixed silver jewelry is the latest kink. 
Dog hair dye is now advertised, since fash-
on decrees that the color of a lady's do{» shall

At a 'ate wedding all the bridesmaids wore

If parasols must be carried at this time of

oil dress.

It was generally supposed that the secret 
f manufacturing the fibre! paper, on which 
be government currency is printed, was 
nown only to those who were under con-
ract to supply it to the Treasury Depart-
ment, but when the arrest of a large number 
f counterfeiters was made in New York last 
.eek. among the captured stock and iniple-
aenta of their nefarious trade were not only 
beets of fibre paper, but also all the appli 
nces for its manufacture. As this paper 
»as the chief means relied upon by the 
Yeasurv to defeat counterfeiters in re-pro-
iucing faosi miles of the currency, it is clear 
hat some other device should be tried.

There are faees unpleasan: to look at. 
Complexions decidedly bad, 
H- aj~ on heaps who never had beamr, 
Or have lost the little they had. 
There are women who soosi and who squint. 
And look opposite ways at a time. 
And blinking, blear-eyed monsters. 
Whose kisa would be kin to a crime. 
There are horrible objtr ta with wens, 
and features twisted awry, 
Termagants armed with a broomstick, 
Snrewa who sxnacx of the sty. 
There are women with tumed-up uoses. 
And noses bent down flat. 
And features drawn and teeth all gone, 
And cheeks ike a knucktd-in hat.

With most of their bones outside,? 
And women like magnified tumors,

And teeth that they have to put in. 
Who drop hlowly apart like a bundls

But think 6f those othtrs, my friend! 
And as roon as you start at the head of the line, 
You are in for it, down to the end. 
It strikes me you'd better not do It, 
In view of the risks that you run; 
The feeling of constant anxiety 
Must take off the edge of the fun. 
The fact is, the more one reflects. 
The more one's constrained to reply, 
If the question comes "Who'd be a census?" 
"I thank you most kindly, not I." 
Tor myself, If they ask me the question, 
I answer as echo does, "Whor' 
And reply, "By your leave, Mr. Census, 
There are seventeen millions for you.

And a quiet night's rest when you'vo done;

And rest peacefully happy with one."

1719 to 1872. 
Mr. A. M. Conklin has removed the mate-
rial of the late Nobiesville Register to Misha-
waka. and united it and his fortunes with 
the Mishawaka Enterprise. The Enterprise 
has been a live paper under the management 
of Mr. Montgomery, and promises even bet-
things usdsr the control of Messrs. Mont-
gomery &. Conklin. 
The Chicago Post has resumed itsoldseem-
ing, though not quite its old proportions, and 
is a better looking paper, and a better paper 
in every way than it was before the fire. 
Journalists of other cities who hoped to 
build up a circulation on the ruins of the 
Chicago press before it could recover from its 
oalamity now find more formidable rivals 
than heifers, and will do well if tney hold 
old readers. The' Post commences its new 
career with greatly increased facilities and 
no lack of patronage.

Spurgeon delights in the story of the 
genuine conversion of a servant girl. 
When 
she was asked on joining the church, "Are 
you converted ?*' "I hope so. sir." "What 
makes you think you are really a child of 
God?" "Well, sir, there is a great change in 
me from what there used to be." "What is 
that change?" "I don't know, sir; but there's 
a change in all things; but there is one thing, 
I always sweep under the mats, now!"

be permitted to receive company every day 
in the week, and a good substantial fence 
will be provided to lean against while court-
ing, and ample time will be accorded for that 
recreation; but.no piano will be furnished.

An exchange well says: Newspaper men 
have the enterprise to publish neat, credita-
ble papers, ana they strain every nerve to do 
•this, but the people don't consider the fact 
that tbe appearance of their home newspa-
pers is s pretty far index of their own intel-
ligence and enterprise—that it shows by its 
face, in every issue, whether it is starved or 
well supported. There is no class of people 
who do half so much good, or work so hard 
as newspaper men. Many of them are put 
un to all sorts of expedients to get along, 
when there are hundreds of influential men 
who are greatly benefitted by the paper, who 
do nothing, comparatively speaking to sus-
tain i t These same men might easily speak 
• f o o d 
word for it, get their friends ts sub-
scribe for it, sustain it with their advertising 
patronage, and help in building up a paper 
that 
would be a credit to their place.

Our popular high Sheriff, W. D. Wood, is 
connected with most everybody in the coun-
ty—some by the ordinary process, some by 
attachment, many by taxes, and multitudes 
by his well known habit of calling evsry body 
he meets cousin. Not long ago the colored 
Baptists here determined to paint their 
church, and to this appointed committees to 
solicit subscriptions. A colored venerable 
old mother in Israel approached Mr. Wood 
in this way:1' Marse Billy, Ise been depointed 
a committeeman to get money to paint our 
church. I nose you is s peplar man, snd I 
hab noticed how you 'lectioneer wid de peo-
ple, and I am going to do like you doea Now 
Marse Billy, give me a quarter of a dollar 
and I'll call you "Cousin Wlllism.' "—rKl « !
