we can investigate an English invention as well °

The receipts of the Patent-office from July last
the Ist of January have exceeded its expenditures hi
about $53,000. It is confidently expected that 0
the year to come the excess will not be less thil
$lOO,OOO. By strict economy an 3 system in t?
management of the office, it is believed that salariel
may be raised, necessary exchanges and impro..
ments made, and every needful expenditure to rat
the office up to its highest state of efficiency a°:
ci
usefulness incurred, without any charge or tj
upon the public." The book of illustrations
the patents for the year 1866 consists of 1,0;
pages, beginning at illustration No. 51,784, a
ending at 60,657. Everything conceivable 1135 l
place ; from whipping cream to the masts of a s",
from a paper bosom and collar, to a new propeilef,'
from a tobacco pipe to a locomotive. Nothing se",
to be beneath the inventor's notice, nothing t
grand for his genius. The Republic is the "Meti;
,
of Invention," and its headquarters is the pate!,
office, Washington. Statistics have proved tlf .
more men have become crazed in that bureau th#
anywhere else in the Union, and we can quite ur
derstand such being the fact, for the mind gets a
tracted by the multiplicity and intricacy of the ull
dels, and a constant intercourse with men who are?,
mad on their own particular point ; for it is 'altnd.
impossible to be a successful inventor without F,
concentrating all thought on one focus that there'
a burning light there, and vacancy and darknd
everywhere else, which goes far to make the inve
tor the most disagreeable of society, even if be
the moat useful of mankind.

A meeting of the 4‘ German Republican Cel
Committee" to modify the Excise Law in the
States, took place at the Stenben House, New York, 00
evening of the 29th Jan., at which Gen. Sigel presided.
report was presented by a committee previously appoint,
recommending the appointment of a committee to take if
mediate action in the matter to insure a modification of d
Sunday clause of the Excise Law. The committee virig
composed of Messrs. Andreas, Willmann, Steinbrend
t
Renson, Naumann, Grasse, Stuzmann, and can!'
and Dr Muhr, with power to add to its members. TM
Committee will proceed to Albany to confer with teed
,
bers of the Legislature on the subject. Mr. Otterburg,;
behalf of a Committee appointed to prepare a plan to
submitted to Congress, in regard to a reform of the N3tf,
ralization laws, with a view of preventing a reeurron4
of naturalization frauds, submitted a report. The rep
as modified and adopted, is to the effect that Congress
petitioned to modify the naturalization laws, so that to
term of residence before naturalization shall be four yea,
and that after naturalization a person shall wait one Y.
before he is entitled to vote at national elections; all
that the power of naturalization be confined to the (jai
States Courts. A committee, composed of Messrs. Ott,.
burg, Willman, Gillman, and Dr. Gerke, was appointed F
take this matter in hand.

—`c Among the curiosities of newspaper literature, d
Democratic press of Russia is entitled to a very consPlo
ous place. Many of its later articles seem rather to
come from some excitable and semi-barbarous tribes I
from the subjects of a great European State. Like the fir,
literary essays of most races they are marked by holdnfi
of conception, grasp of imagination, and carelessness as,
probability and the minor graces of execution. They
in fact, ballads done in the form of leading articles,
they outdo those of most nations in the wonders they
late. Thus the Golos, a paper which was founded in
ti
Petersburg in 1864, informs its readers, in its review
the events of 1868, that not only Garibaldi's
invasion 4
the Papal States, but the Spanish Revolution and the CoEfl'j
between Greece and Turkey, are owing to the influence l
Prussia. It is evident that the latter state has become, in it,
imagination of the writer, one of those occult Os;
with which the poets of early ages lcvo to deal.
execution, however, as is so often the case with youth
writers, falls far she) tof the conception. Instead of bol:j
attributing this information to the muses, or to some ace
sorcerer or modernized Merlin, the journalist endeavour6ti
prove his case in quite a matter-of-fact way, and in thisj
course he fails. It is true it cannot be clearlyproved thaLo
these movements were regulated by orders from Berlin, ,
since all I hese events were advantageous to Prussia .
but fair to suppose that Prussia had a hand in the ri•
