The Rome Conner FRID/'Y MORNING, DECEMBER 1. 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 ,ymi in which the Rnglish view wa com bated. and the argument put forth that the operati.ms nl a* international copy- the publishers, to the ol w. uld benefit authors. 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- <'■•(111 Aricspujxr Repothr ol tl e 20ih: 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 ciple, and thesophistry, internossed SIR UO»EUlrCK I'M REV MURCHISON. Death is still busy with the great names of the earth, and the scientific world lias to contribute its quota to the list of hon ored victims. The lust, and one of the most illustrious is that of Sir Roderick I. Murchison, th; oroal English Gen ogist. who died iu England on the 23d day of October. This i i.*i? tic lib man was boiu i:i Taradale Rnssbiie .Scotland, on the 19th of Februa ry 1792, He received the first principles of his education at the G rammer School of Durham, from where lie at the age of 13 was tiansferred to the Military College at Marlow, where he graduated and was com missioned to the 3Cth Regimen* of foot iu 1S07, and alter a sli rt course iu the Uni versity of Edinburg, lie entered active service in the I’eninsui.i under the Duke of Wellington. He participated iu the batik s of Yimier.1, and Curruua, and served on the staff of his uncle Sir Alex ander McKenzie m Sicily, and at the siege of Catiie. He reached the grade of Captain in the 9ih Dragoons, and in 1815 lie married and retired from the service, In 1S22 he fi*\-t be an to devote himself to science, and attending the lectures of the royal instituti n, and receiving instruc tions in chtmistiy under Richard Phillips was ia 1S25 elected a fellow ol the Geolog ical, and in 1S26 of the roy .1 society. it is first contributions to Geological science appeared in 1S27 in the “Transac tion'” of the Geological society for that year. 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 published the result ol their survey iu two volumes, lor which services he was made a Knight of the Russian order of 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- graphical Society, and lias served lour terms as president of the Geological So ciety. lie was the friend and adviser ol Hugh Miller, the roefry. of Sir Charles Lycll. the friend of Buckland ana the fast friend ofDr. Living-tone.

Belleviik ,Xcw Jersey, have just buried one of their number, Mr. Sing, late of Canton, tmd an interesting description of the funeral is given by the New York Ilerahl. Ziti Sing was only enty years of age. He was beloved by Iris countrymen, and great efforts were . made to make his obsequies imposing. The the monopolies of publishers, sh >ws how bodj was dressed iu Sunday attire, consist. id e are extent unconsciously theele bihe its t 'uchings. iud i 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 men contract from tho lthli ir,-:t. to Deceui- be 25th, 1S72, at S10 per mouth; and the hoys at from 86 to 88 with hoard, from which is to be deducted the cost rf getting them here; and in case they leave t’neir employers before the time contracted lor, are to forfeit all wages due them. Mr. Talbot had some difficulty iu getting as many as he desired, owing tothc prejudice that had been instilled in their minds against the South. and the trouble of pro curing families Leu* Year.—’72 is leap year, on which occasion (says a hopeful exciunge) the Democratic party will leap iuio power, and the Radicals out of existeuce. Whereat all good people will leap for joy. There are to be two eclipses cf the moon, two of the sun and one of General Grant—which latter will bo total and invisible in all parts of the United States. The new year begins ou Monday, which is to give the girls a lair start iu the race for leap y;ar privileges. —Charleston Courier. It is the typ ■ of eternal truth, says Rus- kin, that the soul’s armor is never well set to the heart unless a woman’s hand has branched it; and it is only when she traces it loosely that the honor of mauheed fails Hatred does not cease by hatred at any time; hatred ceases by love. This is an old rule. As rain breaks through an ill-thatched house, passion will break through an unre- lectiug mind. A noble heart, like the sun, sbowetb its greatest countenance iu its lowest estate.— [Sir P. Sidney. Providence has a thousand keys, t o open Iiousand doors, forthodelivcrcnceof his own. [Rutherford. The thoughtless man, even if he can recite i larger portion of tlie law, but is not a doer >f it, has no share in the Priesthood, but is ike a cowherd counting the cows of others. 11 is hard to believe that in the heart of an icorn is enenssed the germ of a ship which diall baffle tlie storms of fifty years; but no larder to believe than that iu all men, lodges he germ of au angel. A firm trust in the assistance of an al- nighty power naturally produces patience, lope, cheerfulness, and all other disposi- ions of mind waich alleviate those calami- ies we ourselves are not able to remove. 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.

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 couraged.” Tiie Water Works.—Thursday evenin the huge engine was put in motion, and with its giant arms commenced throwing the \vab through the intricate net of pipes It work 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.
