A t&MPiAItf tfJ-ome of -our ex

publishing articles, items; of - news,
and so' forth from . the Observer,
without giving due credit for . the
same. We think that" any 'Knight

deliberately, intentionally, and per
severvingly, is nothing more nor less
than a sorry "Old Stick."

Eomej Georgia, is one of the most
prosperous towns in the. South, "and
its iroruTarks.;arebeconiingsoexten-'
sive that it has acquired the name
of the "Pittsburgh- of the South. 'fT It
is a beautiful city with magnificent
surroundings, located ru arichjpleas
ant section of country. Immense
coal fields, rich iron ybeds and inex-;
haustible quarries of slate, marble
and limestone, constitute the miner
al wealth which gives the " place
prominence iii the industrial world.
The wonderful growth and prosperi
ty of the place .is due in a great in eas
ttre to the energy , of; those citizens
who invited capitalists to come and
develope ihe- resources of ; that sec
tion of Georgia. Other portions of
the South might profit . if they
would, by Konje's examplell

V
IMPORTANT EVENT, ' :
The conviction of Stokes, the mur-
drerer . of Fisk, is hailed; over the
country as an omen6f a better time
cpming, for. the denizens of lew
ork City. That a murderer is to be
punished is regarded a subject of re
jO icing! Perhaps when this wealthy
cfiminai is iea io tne gallows an ex
. cited throng of Goshenites gathered
to witness the greats event; will rend
the air with their cheers' and' plaud
its. As tae body of the jewel-fingered
murderer swings off into space
and stretches hemp; the crowd who
, are gioatmg .tneir , eyes upon the
scene will shout ;aver. this. triumDh
, of Law - and congratulate eaeh other
upon the return -of Justice i to the
land, ' '--v - f -
We.can appreciate, somewhat the
joy of the New York people over the
prospect of the' hanging of Stokes,
when we' reflect that within the past
three years as many as Jitp-sU mar
ders have been committed in 'I New
York City ; and tjf 1 th esa - cri m inals
only .-a very small proportion have
been; punished. Lawlessness " has
reigned in the city; murders , and
robberies have bee 11 the common
events of the nights ;.and to walk the
treets'"after dark' has been accompa
nied t with; considerable f danger.
Crime of all kinds has been rampant
and unchecked -. The main cause "of
this lamentable state of affair has
been the corruption and general in
efficiency of the . Judiciary. ; Judges
were open to . bribery, and it was
difficult . to; get Juries that - were dis
posed to do exact justice.
The conviction of Stokes marks
an era in the criminal jurisprudence
df "thej city. And hereafter the law
"Thou shalt do no . murder," will be
something more than a dead letter
upon the statute book. , j ,

Nor exnense or effort is beinar snar

The Park in which - the build in es
are being erected has an area of over
1)00 acres. The main buildinc:; known
as the f'Palace of Industry," is to be
about 3000 feet in length, by 82 feet
in width. . This is crossed by ".-32 tran
septs, each 347 feet long by 50 feet
wide. ! i The grand, central dome, em
bracing an area more thau double
that of St. P.eter'8 at Rome, rests up
on pillars 80 feet high, has a Span of
354 feet and rises " in a clear Unbroken:
arch 250 feet from the floor. The

The Machinery Hall is to be a sep
arate building, 2600 feet long by 150
feet wide; standing parallel -with? the
industrial Palace, but about 4CK) feet
distant! i Our space in this building
is" also at th e Western, end.
The Hall for the; reception of Agri

has no to yet been com municated to

another part of the grounds.

of Education are being forwarded, to

and afterwards presented to the Aus
trian Goverhm eiitptM
There ; are -some ' features of the
patent laws of most of the European
countries which are objectionable' to'
inventors. A patentee is required by
the laws of Austria to m anufacture
the patented article. in that Empire
within one "year from ohtaining the
patent or tne latter become void.
The, desire however among, the Aus
trian' and Hungarian . people, to se
cure a respectable display of Ameri
can machinery and. inventions, is
very strong, and the authorities . are
expressing their determination to do
au in tneir power, to protect inven
tors and patentees against piracy and
annoyance i 7 . 4 .
, Already a law, has been passed by
the v Austro-Hungarian -Parliament,
granting the right to every exhibitor
to obtain from the General Manager
a certificate, free of charge, which
certificate' will act l as a full patent
during the Exhibition; and for two
months afterwards and may then be
turned into a patent by the payment
of a fee of less than eleven dollars. s
On the 6th of April, 1872. there was
ratified between the Governments of
Austro-Hungary and " the United
States a treaty upon "Trade-Marks,"
which provides that any trade-mark
used in either country, to designate
the origin or quality, of any article.
shall jfully protect such J article, ; and.
piaces American owners. ana inven
tors, when using such trade-mark in
Austriain the same position as Aus
trians occunv in. our o.onntrv. : 4
In addition to this; the' undersigned
has urged upon the. Department of
State, the propriety of a Convention
for the formation of a further, treaty
between the two Governments, which
shall abrogate that portion1 of the
patent laws of Austria; which requires
the" manufacture of patented - ar
ucies in in av country, ana in all re
spects place our patentees in Aiutr'a
on a leveL with . Austrian patentees
in tne United States. . " . - , . -
A draft, of such treaty has been
prepared, and the- undersigned has
the strongest hope of its speedy con
sideration and adoption.' '

Oh Thursday afternoon in the vi
cinity of , V. L, ; Denhy's farm, near
Lambert's - roint," was witnessed
terrific battle in the air between a
bald an. I grey eagle. The contest
was waeed with the utmost fierce
ness, the king birds swooping through
the air and rushine on each other.
.using beak and tallons-a Though the
ea:Jes, were up considera ule height,
the flap- of their wings as they push
ed on each other could be heard -with
distinctness. The attention of several
young gentlemen gunning on ; the
farm at the time was called to the
conflict by the noise of tlie . battle,
and orie of them, D. Denby, of
this city, took aim and - fired t.at" the.

inflicting quite a severe - wound on

this means the bird was killed.. It
was a splendid specimen of. the spe

Shake off False Pride Young Men. '
' From the Richmond Dispatch.
; Young men wilL greatly : benefit
themselves and promote their : own
good fortune by shaking; off the false
pride that puts work v down as de-?
grading. "Poor and i proud 'fin one
sense is good, but jn another bad.
The poor man who is not too proud
to work, but too proud to dishonor
himself by a mean actionals one of
N atu re's n oblem en . Th e poor m an
who is too .roud ;tO. work, but will
rather idle his time in dull and stu
pid leisure, and be a charge to others
rather than soil his hands with the
labor that Wonld -make- him inde
pendent and respected,, is . a misera
ble and conteuiptible drjOne;, whor
does not desery? the t assistance or
respect of his fellowmen who, in
deed, does not deserve to live. -
If, then, ' this falser pride were
shaden off, and," young ; men went
earnestly to, work at. anything they
were capable of doing, what a change
would be wrought in the feeling and
condition of society. ' There would
be a large addition to the bulk Of the
production of industry, a greater de
gree of personal indepenclence, and
of consequence an immense increase
of social happiness. The v bread of
idleness is full of bitterness, andt af
