INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.
Tlic subject of international copyright
has lor sometime been agitating the hngiish
mine], and is l ogining to excite some in
terest. in American circles. In our
Tri-Weekly issue- ef the 16th we gave ex
tracts from an article in the New York

bated. and the argument put forth that

jesented from thev.ews of the Sun,
pressed surprise that a thinkr.v so
as the editor of the <S«ii could be he
ed into such a specious fallacy.
Since then onr surprise has tncrensed to
astonish cut,as we find th t the New York
press with liardh a single ixci'tion las
fallen into the same mistake.
'i'l.e gist of its aiguments may he found
in the following brief paragraph, which
we take from Geo. P. Rowell & On’.- Am<r-

The Iotcrnationai Copyright busine.-s h o-
I ecu re discussed in iv gland at great h ugth
am! with some temper. It seems as far as
ever lioru a settlement. It it were sin ply
a question for the benefit of authors, as it
should he, and as the public hcliev- t> le
just, die matter could he quietly ■•■.n- easily
setiled. Rut the publishers of.me country
believe that they should have the monopoly
of its sale ir other countries, and this sys
tem while of little or no benefit to authors
raises the price of books to the reader and
permits the publishe s of one country to,
receive emolument from other countries
without being of any benefit to the latter,
either in employing their labor or consum
ing their material.
Now doesn't never occur to these editors
that the relations between authors and pub
lishers are the most intimate and sympa
thetic, and that au author’s success, de
peuds'entirely upon the success of his pub
lisher.
The more valuable the copyright of a
work becomes to a publisher, the more the
author will demand and the more publish
ers will give for it.
If the Messrs. William Blackwood & S.m,
can give Miss Evaus—George Eliott, —
£2,000 for the right to publish “Th:: Maid
of Sker,” in Great Britain,they would be
able to give her £4,000 if the light ex
tended to and embraced America.
It is argued however, that the Messrs.
Bisckwood would uot be disposed to do so,
and that the additional monopoly would ouly
redonod to their exelusive benefit.
Were the Messrs. Blackwood the only
publishers in Eugland, this argument might
obtaiu, but they have such formidable com
petition in their business, that Miss Evaus
would he quit' able to protect her
self, and all that she would have to do would
be to step into Longmans or Smith,Elder &
Co., or Ilursf & Blackett, lllaekie & Sons,
or Trubner & Co., to find a puichaser who
would appreciate the value of her work,
aud pay her accordingly.
This disposition to seperate and antagon
ize the iutcrest of authors and publishers,
is bnt an expression of that radical spirit
which is so fearfully undermining the whole
system of social and political econ >my, and
which by arraying labor against capital,
seeks to revolutionize society. The agra
rian tendeneis of J. Stuart Mill,
own reform sliriekers, all lead in t
direction, and their iufoe ion has,
sorry to see. pe waded to an alanniu
the entire public mind. It is a su m

Death is still busy with the great names

His uext was conjo'Dtly with Sir Cnarles
Lycll iu a work on the geology of Italy
and the Auvergne, districts of Franco.
His first grand work appeared ia 1838
uadi r the title of “The Silurian System.’
This system embraced the oldest geologi
cal formations, and was divided by him
into aper arid lower s'luriaa, aud through
regular successions and graduations, the
development of aminal life was traced
from the simplest form of invertebrate
types to the higher order of Mammalia.
In 1840 he was commissioned by the Ilus
sian Government to make a geological
survey of that grand empire, and in 1845,
lie in conjunction with his co-workers,
Count You Keyserling, and M. de Yeruuil

St Anne, and received from the Czar, the
grand cross of the order of St Stanislas.
On his return to England in the follow
ing year he received the honor of Knight
hood, and iu the same year the Copley med
al was bestowed upon him by the royal
society for his Silurian discoveries. The
next year he published his “Silurin,” and
this was followed by nnmerousother works.
Iu 1855 he succeded Sir Henry De La
Beche as director general of the geological
Survey of Great ikritain a position which
he held to his death. He has been for
twenty years president of the Royal Geo-

The Griffin (Ga.) S'ar says Mr. Talbot,
who went to Europe some months since
liir the purpose of procuring laborers for
some of bis neighbors, has just returned,
bringing with hiui sixty-six men. women
and children. They are generally stout,
hardy looking people, and doubtless will
prove skillful and valuable laborers. The

employers before the time contracted lor,
are to forfeit all wages due them. Mr.

that had been instilled in their minds

A Beautiful Action, by a Beautiful La-
)T.—The Selma Times says:
We unstand that the young lady who
ctjeiv.ed the premium of a set of furs, as the
mndsomest young lady on the Fair Grounds
n Thursday last, geucrously donated tlie
aluablo prize to the Ladies’ Aid Society, of
his city, for the benefit of the Confederate
rphans. This is characteristic of hergener-
iussplrit, which is equalled only by other no
de qualifies and her surpreme loveliness,
lay this benevolence on her paj£ be as a
ebble thrown in the sea of time, creating
of a new Nanking suit, and placed iu
an elegant walnut coffin,which was immedi
ately sealed. At 2 o chick in the after
noon the elfin was placed ou a wagon (a
hearse being objected to) aud along proces
sion followed. First came one hundred
and fifty Coinamen,dressed in their nation
al costume, walking si'cotly two by tin*;
after them followed the women employed in
the laundry,then Captain Hervey, his I'aui-
i>y and the reporters in carriages. The
cortage moved on until a neatly inclosed plot
was reached Here the mourners formed a
circle around the graves, for, accordin' to
the Chinese rites, two cavities, a large and
a smaller one, had been dug Four China
men then gently removed the coffin a; d
placed it between the two graves. Mr. S.
P Daily, a Methodist clergyman, then of
fered a prayer, which was intcligible, how
ever, to hut a small portion of thoso present.
The coffin was then lowered in the larger
grave and immediately coveted up with
earth. Iu the smaller grave, a hole about
two feet in diameter and as many deep
placed a teapot, a ricepan, chopsticks and
clothing of the deceased. On top of
this was placed a large earthen vessel, con
taining a cooked chicken, rice and fish.
All of this was then covered up with dirt
The uext ceremony wa3 the placing of
a basket containing the clothes the deceas
ed had worn on the day of his death on th
grave, and fire was applied to it until i
were entrely consumed. A number of fire
ciackerswere then exploded over the grave,
after which each mourner in turn approach
cd the resting place of hjs comrade, and,
interlocking bis finger, placed his hands
the forehead with tiie palm turned outward,
and threw them forwad thrice,accompauyin
the movement each time with a low Bow.
This ended the ceremony, and every mour
ner was presented with a small boquet of
flowers.
Five suffrage seeking females marched
boldly to the ballot-box in New York on
election day, and one of the five wa3 per
mitted togladden her heart by voting The
others, among whom was a well known ar-
pirant to the place occasionally occupied by
God. Grant, in the White House, were
promptly and positively refused the privi
lege craved by t heir soaring aud subsequently
sore souls The would-be female President
was accompanied to the polls by a lawyer,
who threatened prosecution and some other
terrible things when the ballot ofhisfricnd
was refused. There must be closed on
200,000 woman in New York city, aud
when only five of these makes a direct de
mand fur suffrage it does not look as if society
were in immediate danger of revolution
through “ equal rights.” Bnt we suppose
the ball will be kept rolling.
Says t' o Los Angeles Doily Weirs, ap
ropos of the late massacre : ‘‘There is one
thing in conn ction with one of the lynch
ed Chinamen which isaUogether unaccount
able. Of the eighteen bodies, seventeen
were claimed by their friends and inferred
by them with all the regular formula of a
Chinese funeral; hut the solitary exception
was altogether abandoned. None of the
Chinese would have nothing to do with
him. Even after he was interred, they
declined to offer to his departed spirit
that tribute which it is customary to pay,
viz: piaciug rice, burning tapes, &c., on
the grave. Four of these unfortunates
had their pigtails ent off, consequently the
loss of it conld not have been the reason
How to Prevent OH lamps Purstlng,
A late number ofthe Scientific American
contains a valuable In ter from I’rof. J. M
Barbour, of LaGrange College/ Missouri,
on a very simple device for preveniiug the
bursting of oil lamps It consists simply
in fastening tlie burner on with a cork in
stead of a Screw, wben.'if an explosion do a
take place, the cork will blow out. Laving
the lamp and oil intact. He has experi
mented tor over twenty years in explus ve
gasses, aud inis proved the correctness of
this plan upwards of five hundred times
during his lectures. Fur instance, he fills
a strong glass decanter ot’nne quart capacity
with equal volumes <*f oilfiant gas and oxy
gen, and plugs the mouth tiahtly with cork
When the gasses are fired it. will blow the
cork out witli a loud txplosiun aud force,
but the decanter, which he holds during
the experiment in his hand, is unharmed.
The same experiment may be tried with an
ordinary lamp with perfect safety. The rea
son why the glass docs not break is because
there is a ready exit for the fierce and there
is no necessity for ru;iure. Tho oilGant

How Sue Looked.—A man was once
relating a story of being on a locuanitivi
tha struck a cow standing on the track
and threw her several yards into the field,
where she lit squarely upon her feet, with
her head toward the train, and, strange to
say, she wasn’t hurt a mite. -‘But uidt
she look seared f” inquired a listener.
“Well, I don’t know whether she was scar
ed or not, out she locked a good deal do

Tiie Water Works.—Thursday evenin
the huge engine was put in motion, and with
its giant arms commenced throwing the \vab

ed like a charm, and soon the water bega
pouring through the hydrants to the delight
of every body. Yesterday morning it w:
put in motion again, and the fire plugs wei
tested with the loir head of water it was su
fieieut to throw water upon the building
and after to day Romo is secure against tl
posibility of fire. The Messrs. Nobles are
the heroes of this grand achievement, and t
them belong all honor.
