The New Jersey man who hit upon the idon of attaching iv rubber erasing tip to the end of load poucils is worth $ 00,000 , hays tlio Pittsburg Prosa. The minor who in von ted u metal rivet or eyelet at each end of the mouth of coat and trousers poukots , to resist the strain caused by the curriugo of ploccs of ere nnd heavy toolB , has made more money from his letters patent than ho would hnvo made had ho struck a good vein of gold-bearing quartz. Kvoryono has seen tlio metal plates Unit are used to protect the heels and soles of rough shoos , but everyone doesn't know that within ten yoara the man who hit upon the idea has made 32-50,000. As large a sum as was over obtained for any invention was enjoyed by a Yankee who invented the inverted glnss boll to haug over gus jots to pro tect ceilings from being blackened by riinoko. The inventor of the rollor-Bknto has made $1,000,000 , notwithstanding the fact that his patent had nearly expired before the value of it was ascertained in the cruzo for roller-skating- spread over the country afdw years ago. The gimlet-pointed scrou has pro duced moro wealth than most silver mines and the Connecticut man who first thought of putting copper tips on the toes of children's shoos , is as well ol ! as if ho inherited $1,000,000. for that's the amount his idea haa realized for him in cold , clammy coin. The common needle-threader , which every ono has scon for sale and which every woman owns , was a boon to needle- users. The man who invented it has an income ol $10,000 a year from his in vention . A minister in England made $50,000 by inventing an odd toy that danced by winding it with a string. The man who invented the return ball , an ordinary wooden ball with a rubber string attached to pull It back , made 31,000,000 from it. The person who Invented the most recent popular toy , "Pips in Clover , " will bo rich before the leaves turn this autumn. Ho was poor last November. Cut HU Wife'B Throat. TIIOT , May 4.

One Combatant Afterward Became a Clcrtrj nmn nnd the Autliorof Pop ular Ilrlijilous Works Ills JJcalli in the Pulpit. Neither Could AVIn Her. Something like fifty years ape two young men , ono a lawyer nnd the other a doctor , loved the same girl in the town of Grand Gulf , Miss.kiyf3 the San Francisco Chronicle. Both could not have her , and neither could live with out her. They decided to fight for her. It was to bo a duel to death. There was no insult to bo avenged by the discharge of Hrearma , no stain on a reputation tote to be wiped out bya fawidrops of blood. The death of the ono wns demanded by the other. The lawyer said it was to bo a duel a outrnnco. The arrange ments for a innssaero wore complete. The principals were armed with rilles , revolvers and bowie-knives. They had moro confidence in the continuation of their hate than in the accuracy of their aim. The rifles wore to bo discharged first at twenty paces ; if neither com batant waa killed they were to advance , firing their revolvers at will , and , if they still lived the battle was to bo con tinued with knives. ' It waa early morning when the party of four men principals and seconds left the little town of Grand Gulf und bought a grove u few miles distant. No olTort at reconciliation was made ; no time was lost in the preliminaries. The men were 'placed ' , the word was given T. ) fire and the rlllos echoed the signal. 'ho lawyer fcfumbled forward and full , , A > od streaming from his mouth. Ho waa unVdpscious when his second raised himVb'nd it wns found that'tho bullet haal'e'btorod ono cheek , torn away a section'of ' the jaw , und had made its exit tlu'du' U the other side of his laeo. The'rewna ' no more fighting , al though the d6rotor gave his opponent more thah 'tho time allowed by the Marquis of'QUeonsbcrry rules , The marksmanship of the phyolclan did not win tlUo young lady. Some talk was made 3ibbu't ' tjio fight and she was removed to nliothor part of the state. The lawyofpenovorod and wont to Hol ly Springe ) ' Where ho became an Epis copal ministeV The physician came to San Frunul ao > and three weeks ago , after flftv-thre years , appeared in the office of Dr. Vorhios , the well known oculist. Ho is Dr. S. M. Tibbets , who for many years was QUO of the best known physicians in the state. Ho gave up a large and lucrative practice some time ago , as the burden of his years proved too much for him. A cat aract on his eye rendered him sightless , and his visit to Dr. Vorhios was that of a patient to a physician. with the assistance of Drs. Taylor and Lane , Dr. Vorhios removed the opaque substance , and the hero of the duel in Grand Gulf , Miss. , had his sight completely restored , and although now eighty years of age , sees remarka bly well , while In the operating room Dr. Tlbbitts was asked how ho hud lived for many years in Mississippi and retained his solf-roapcot without fight ing a duel. Then ho said ho had en gaged in a battle , but had forgotten the name of his opponent. Through the mist of sixty years , he said , the cause of the duel was nothing but it seemed u right worthy cause when ho accepted the lawyer's challenge. A few days later S. Tood. of Stanis laus , visited Dr. Vorhies * ofHco to bo treated professionally , nnd while there said he had lived at Grand Gulf for a number of years long before the war. He was ask'ed if ho knew a doctor of the name of S. M. Tibbitts. "Yes ; many , many , years ago. I was his second in a duel once1 was the answer. " ' With whom did ho fight ? " ho was asked. . The old gentleman studied for a mo ment and said : "Ingraham , Toelngrahamaftorwnrds Rov. Joseph H. Ingram , of Holly Springs. Ho was Joe then , a lawyer , and ti good man. " "I know him , well , " exclaimed Dr. Vorheis. " I saw him die. " "Well , well , " said Mr.Todd , "had ho an affection of the oycsV" "I wns at Holly Springs in 1802 when Grant had occupied the territory down there. OiieSunday , I wont to the Epis copal church. I know nc one there and went to sin-vice to pubs the time. Rev. Mr. Ingraham was preaching nnd his subject was the war. The tunes were btormy and a man then had to baclc up his sentiments with deeds. The ser mon was H powerful one and stirred up the people. The preacher finished it and sat down. As ho took his scat a re , ' port-was heard , a cry was heard and the minister pitched forward on his face in the pulpit and was dead almost before nny ono could reach him. Ho had a revolver in his pocket , and when ho sat down it was accidontly discharge. " By that discharge darkness foil on the intellect of a bright and bravo man. Rov. Mr. Ingraham was a scholar and a writer of note. His religious works have boon widely read , and his "Pillar of Fire , " "Prince of the House of David" and "Tho Throne of David" have had as great circulation In Great Britain as hero. His other writings in clude "Lalltto" and "Burton , or the Siges. " Tlia biographies of famous men have little of the life or death of the author , whoso only duel with a citi zen of San Francisco was recalled in the strange manner related. Gladstone on Dante. Mr. Gladstone's estimate of Danteox- pressed after n paper read by the bishop of Ripen at the duke of west- minster's house , contained this : "I wish to boar testimony with tlio bishop , as far as language can , to the degree of magnitude and the importance of his works , which can hardly bo possible to exaggerate upon. Dante has a place absolutolv alone in the whole compass of what is called literature , and I do not think that there is any writer who can compote with Dante in what I call educated power. In my opinion , the study of Dante is a very serious matter , entailing a serious responsibility. Every thinking person who gives him self to that study cannot , during the study , but feel profoundly its effects , for many are the lessons which the poems of Dante convoy to humanity , " HE FASTS , BUT STILL WRITES.

Vice President Morton Still a Banker Our cocky weekly contemporary , the Epoch , says the Now York Sun , speaks with the proud consciousness of an ia- fulliblo mugwump : "Nothing moro indelicate in the whole Hold of American politics can bo imagined than the vice president of the United States remaining a partner in a banking and brokerage house in thia city. The moment that ho took tjio oath of olfico Mr. Morton should have resigned from the firm of Morton , Bliss & Co. This is so plain as to admit ol no argument whatever. " This Is nonsense. Thcro is nothing either in the constitution or" the laws of the United States to require any such thing. 'The only provision that the slatuies make in this direction is' that which prohibits the tioorotarv of the treasury , ' .tho first comptrollernrst audi tor , treasurer , or register to bo con cerned in trade or commerce. By nee ! ossnry implication also this law permits and authorizes the vice president to continuo in any trade or comuiorco which ho may bo engaged in when elected. * Neither is there In the statutes of common sonco any euch provision us our contemporary would enforce upon Mr. Morton. So long as the president liven the vice prestdentlius no function , no power , and no duty , except to preside - side in the sessions of the sennto , and in cases no rare as virtually never to occur , to glvo a casting vote there ; and also to figure as a regent of the Smith sonian institution. Thus there is no official or political act of his which can bo alfocted by the circumstance thr.t hu is stockholder or partner in nny bust- nobs. The proposition of tlio Epoch is without sense.
