Richmond gave Rossi a fine audi
ence "decidedly the most intellec-
tiial and appreciative of the season"
says the; 'State, well up in theatri
cal matters. It pronounces him "the
actor now in the world." He ap
peared as Lear. It says:
"For the Lear of Signer Rossi we are at
a loss to find words of description. Hav
ing seen many, and grea actors, we are
willing to say that we never before saw an
actor so great." .
He gave the last scene in the
fourth act and nearly all of the fifth
act in English. ' Of this the State
says: f
"It was not by any means the 'brokenest'
English we haye heard in our time on the
stage. It was ever so acceptable to the
house, too, for after all the text of Shake
speare is more than, half the battle. Rossi, -we
suspect, will soon be as competent to
play in our language as Juanaschek, Fech

Baltimore, December 30, 1881.
Mr. W. H. Bernard, Wilmington, N. C. :
Dear Sir : In your paper of the 29th
ult. is a dispatch from here, giving the de
cision of Judge Morris in the United States
Court, of a suit involving a patent of
Boy kin, Carmer & Co. on a formula for
making a fertilizer adverse to their interest.
In the telegram is this language : "A large
interest was involved in the result of this
suit." We do not see, possibly, how or
when any one could or can have any in
terest in the decision, other than the liti
gants. Dealers in Fertilizers, who were not
involved, had no more interest in the result
than we or any other druggists have in dis
solving any of the many patents now on
recipes for making patent medicines. The
case has been appealed. If the judges on
the Supreme Court bench do not, like
Judge Morris,, believe that formulas of
agricultural chemicals are not patentable,
then we are solid, and our case is elear.
But if the opinion of the court shall sustain
Judge Morris, then we will submit,: and
will also ask, what are patents on medicinal
formulas worthy The principel is the
same: All such combinations are made of
old remedies. If new combinations, with
new results, show no evidence of novelty,
then, of course,' all patents on medicines
are worthless. However, this will inform our
friends that we are still in business, and
selling ' 'Home Fertilizer, " and the only
place they can. get it. , If anj; who read this
do not agree with me, let him try it. To
those who want "cheap chemicale, we ask
them to get the ''BulletirfT published by
your State Agricultural Bdard in July and
May. See what Prof. Dabney says about
"adulterated chemicals." Get and read
them. I think it due B. C. & Co. and their
patrons. And oblige.
... Yours truly,
It i T. J. Boyktn.
