THE COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS

Hon. WM. D. BIsHor-Mr. Bishop was
born at Bloomfield, \. j., on the 18th of
September, 1927, and is therefore but 81
years of age. At the age of years he re-
moved with his father family to Bridgeport,
Conn, where he now resides. He early
exhibited great fondness for mechanics
and sciences generally, so much so, that his
fither at one time seriously entertained the
idea of educating him fer some scientific
pursuit. He entered Yale College in 3i5,
graduated in lS49, and afterwards engaged
in the study of law, but never practiced it,
in consequence of the sudden death of his
father, whereby he-became one of the exc
cutor's of his fathers large estate. and the
duties of this executOrship occupied his time
for the succeeding three years These du-
ties were of an arduous character, owing to
the fact that the completion of the New
York & New Haven, Washington & Sara
toga and Naugatuck Railroads, (of which
his father, Alfred Bishop man of great
energy and perseyerance-was the contract !
orr devolved upon the executors. Upon
the completion of these important public
works. Mr.. Bishop, the subject of this no.
tice, devoted his entire attention to railroad
interests in the several capacities of con-
tractor, chief engineer, superintendent and
president which latter position he now
holds, in relation to enc of the best managed
railroads in Connecticut Mr. Bishop has
acquired the reputation of practical and
thorough man of business, and has an am
bition which might work the destruction of
any one if uncontrolled by a calm and we'll
balanced judgement.
Since 1852 Mr.. Bishop has been can
didate for the Connecticut Legislature, was
a delegate to the Cincinnati Convention, and
in 1857 was chosen to represent his district
in Congress.
Before he had fairly recovered from the
struggle Of sharp political campaign, he /
was rendered the appointment to the Com '

LONDON.
A CHAPTER FROM SPARKS FROM LocoMo-

A CHAPTER FROM "sPARKs FROM A LocoMo-
TIVE"
March 1859.
London is like the whirlpool below Nj
agara-once in, it is hard to get out of it.
Intending to stop but two weeks in the city,
1 see by the alminac that five hive whirled
round; and 1 can only now get away by
consOling myself with the promise of return
ing later in the season, when hope to turn
over few leaves in this wonderful volume
of social life and human history. The more
one explores london the greater and gran
der. it seems 1t is five times as large as
New York in point of population; while
its magnificent Parks and spacious palaces
extend the area of the town over about ten
times the surface occupied by our own
great Metropolis" And then its history,
running back beyond the authentic chroni-
cles of the antiquary; beyond the day when
Tacitus wrote of Londinium, until the very
foundation of the city is lost in the mist of
mythology; while the origin of its name is
still matter of dispute among the learned
philogists of the Historical Societies. They
have discovered over twenty different va
riations of the name of London; but the
derivation still remains an undecided ques-
ton.
The parks are the crowning glory of Lon
don. Beautiful as green grass, noble trees,
lovely lakes, and smoothly rooled walks
and drives can make them, they afford
margin and breathing place for the over
flowing populace, and,a luxurious airing for
the poor who promenade, and for the rich
who ride through their elegant avenues
In the middle of fine day, Hyde Park,
and St James's are thronged, not only with
equipages, with ladies and gen.
tlemen on horseback, but with innumerable
nurses and children. English babies live
ont of doors-hence their ruddy cheeks
and robust frames. And English ladies
lire on horseback-hence more physical
benefits than l can stop to enumerate.-I
They usually ride in the morning, follow
I'd by groom; but there are hundreds of
beautiful eq,sestriennes, superbly mounted,
who rode alone-an indication that they

never been probed. Men have gone west
ward to the snowy range, more from curl
osity than any desire to really search for
gold.
When men shall have come into the
mountains. who will probe this extent, We
shall confidently look for rich discoveries,
and no circumscribed mineral region Too
many have entered the mountains with too
brilliant hopes. Too many had not the
least idea under what difficulties they were
to obtain gold. They were disappointed,
and instead of jumping at once into the Sc
vercst kind of toll with small wages, choose
rather to return home. The gulches with
rare exceptions, pay fair returns to all who
diligently work them. Lodes, which d.
verted the attention of the miners from
the gulches in the beginning of the season,
are now rclinquished for the latter. The
former are rich, but scarcely any of them
come prepared to work them, and withal
the decayed quartz is in too small quanti-
ties and too much mixed with hard quartz
to be proftably sluiced. Two rude quartz
mills are now in operation by OK power,
and one is in process of construction which
will be impelled by steam. 1t will not be
until mills shall have been erected that the
real worth of the lead will have been
ascertained. Next season We may Conf
IDENTIFY expect that adequate tools for all
kinds of mining purposes will have been
brought to the mines, to probe the various
crevices found, and mills sufficient to use
the quartz. In our embryo city, Gold
Reporter" has been established, issued
weekly, at the reasonable terms of two
dollars per year to miners, and three dol
lars if sent to the States. 1t is edited
with ability, and every exertiOn will be
made by the editor to make it correct
and reliable Reporter of the dOings, ad-
vancement and amelioration of the coun-
try. Although the Reporter may some
times be rather extravagant in his views
of things. and particularly in the advan-
tages and extent of cities, it may rather be
charged to too heated imagination, and
a too morbid desire for the improvement of
the country, than to any wilful intention
to deceive.

missionership of Patents, as successor to
Hon. Joseph Holt, now Postmaster General
of the United States
To fill the place thus made vacant by
the removal of so gifted a man as Mr.. Holt
is no easy tax. When We consider the i'm
portant interests that center in the Patent
Office, and the conflicts that often arise be-
tween the claims of one inventor and an
other, involving delicate questions of law
and fact, and the necessity of the strictest
integrity in the discharge of the duties of
this position, it might at first appear some
what presumptuous on the part of the Pres
ident to elect so young man for 80 impor-
tant trust EBut 80 far as the press has
spoken in reference to the fitness of Mr..
Bishop for the Office. there has been but
one opinion, so far as we have seen, and
from personal acquaintance with him Of
many years standing. we believe he will
address himself to the duties of his new
post with zeal and discretion worthy of
an old head. Mr.. Bishop is clear think
er, has an active and well-cultivated mind.
is good disciplinarian, and is accustomed
to take the lead. He is, moreover, a pro-
gressive man, and fully believes that the
end of all improvements in the arts and
sciences has not yet been attended; he has
no sympthy with "Old fogyism," and will
be likely to carry out the general practice
of his predecessors. which has conferred 80
much dignity and glory on the Patent Of
fee.

No longer young how sad it seems,
No mark our mornings waning beams,
To feel our dreams are only dreams.
To hear in mirth of girls and boys
The refrain of our early joys,(
To seem too old for simple toys.
To catch shadow in the glass
A fitting shadow as We pass
a face no longer young, alas
Loves prophecy young years enfold,
Time steals its glow with fingers cold
There's something sad in growing old.
1t never comes again, in sooth,
With manhood's wisdom, ages truth,
The pleasant fever of our youth.
We find, while memory's sea we sound,
Mid rarest treasures wrecked around,
How much we've missed, how little found.
Once from Life's miser hand we bought
Joy, wilder than our widest thought,
But ali, she kept the the joy We sought.
For no new gift We still may bow;
She binds upon our faded brow,
No opaline crown of promises now.
We bear no more the exultaEt palm,
Triumphant, toward our zenith's calm,
But cropping graveyard, sing psalm.
The self-asserting soul will crave
The song-like joy, it sought to save
Twill shrink back from the drear, dark grave
Age hath its pleasure, age its pain,
The ripeness of Times soberer reign,
The sated eye, the burdened brain;
The palsied pulse, the measured mien,
The yearning for what once hath been,
The waiting for the dread unseen
How happy if with whitening hair,
And face all linned with lines of care,
The soul looks upward young and fair.

But there is something worth living for

WHAT WE SAID.
BY NORA PERRY.

When the baby died, we said,
With sudden, secret dread,
Death, be merciful, and pass
Leave the other" but alas
While we watched, he waited there
One foot on the golden stair,
One hand beckoning at the gate,
Till the home was desolate.
Friends say, at is better so,
Clothed in innocence to CO.
Say, to ease the parting pain,
That "Your loss is but their gain"
All, the parents think of this
But remember more the kiss
From the little rose-red lips,
And the print of finger-tips
Left upon broken toy,
Will remind them how the boy
And his sister charmed the days
With their pretty, winsome ways.
Only time can give relief
To the lonesome weary grief
Gods sweet minister of pain
Then shall sing of loss and gain.
