peryisor of internal revenue who Is not a
lawyer of integrity and experience, If such
can be had. This we regard as the right
move in the right direction, as II will save
the solicitor, as well as the Commissioner, a
vast amount of trouble to have supervisors
who can expound the law and answer the
thousand and one inquiries being made every
day by the different revenue officers in every

A Cool Thief.

A COOLER pickpocket than is spoken of
in Stuttgart, was never seen. He was an
obsequious little man, who offered his ser
vices to his victim, to show him the lions
of the city, but the other refused the offer
The otficious parsonage, however, was not
offended, but politely asked him what
o'clock it was. The other answered that
he did not l,now, as his watch had stopped,
and continued his walk toward the Muse
UNI of Natural History, which he entered.
He had not been there many minutes be-
fore the same person cameup to him, with
the air of an old acquaintance, and offered
him pinch of snuff. This Mr.. de-
clined, saying he was no snuff-taker, and
walked away; but some minutes after,
having a preScntiment of something being
wrong, he felt for his snuff box, but in
stead of it found a scrap of paper, in his
pocket, on which was written, Gas you
are no snuf-taker, you do not require
box. He thought the logic of his I'M
known acquaintance rather Impairment
and resolved to bear his loss ike philoso-
pher but what was his amazement when,
few moments after, he discovered that
his watch had also disappeared, and in his
other pocket was another note, in the fol-
lowing words: AS your watch does not
tell the hour, it would be better at the
watchmaker's than in your pocket" tits
unnecessary to say that he never heard
any further tidings of the two articles

Oiling Farm Implements.

EVERY farmer should have can of lin
seed-oil and brush on hand: and when
ever he buys new tool, he should soak it
well with the oil and dry it by the fire or
in the sun, before using. The wood by
this treatment is toughened and strength
ened, and rendered impervious to water
Wet a new hay-rake and when it dries it
will begin to be loose in the joints but if
well oiled, the wet will have but slight
effect. Shovels and forks are preserved
from checking and cracking in the top of
the handle by oiling the wood becomes
smooth as glass by use, and is far less La
BILE to blister the hand when long used
Axe and hammer handles often break off
where the wood enters the iron: this part
particularly should be toughened with oil,
to secure durability. Oiling the wood in
the eye of the axe will prevent its swell
ing and shrinking, and sometimes getting
loose. The tools ON large farm cost a
large sum of money; they should be of
the most approved kinds. 1t is a poor
economy, at the present extravagant prices
for labor, to set men at work with ordi-
nary, old-fashioned implements. Labor
ers should be required to return their tools
to the convenient places provided for them,
after using; they should 3be put away
clean and bright. The mold-boards of
plows are apt to get rusty from one sea-
son to another, even if sheltered they
should be brushed over with few drops
of oil when put away, and will then re

He Could be Trusted.


ALFRED was missing one night about
sunset. Mother was getting anxious, for
she always wished him to be home early.
A neighbor, coming in, said number of
boys had gone to the river to swim, and
he thought Alfred was safe enough to be
with them.
"No," said the mother, che promised
me he would not go there without my
leave, and he alsoays keeps his word. He
never told me lie" ~ .-t.E
But seven o'clock came, then eight, and
mother was still watching and listening
for the step of Alfred; but it was halfpast
eight before his merry shouts and whistle
were heard, when he ran into the gate.-4
Confess, now" said the neighbor,
"that you havesbeen to the river with the
other boys, and so kept away till late"
How the boys eye flashed, and the Grim

Inventions and Patents.

70 In an article showing the necessity OF
applicants for patent rights having COM
petent counsel and assistance in securing
the full advantages to be derived from
letters patent, the Chicago Bureau of a
recent date says:
We deem it a fortunate circumstance
that an imperative necessity, thus existing,
is met in our city by the recent establish
ment here of firm, whose qualifications
in integrity, competent knowledge of me-
chanics and law, and long experience, en-
title them to the full confidence of the
public We refer to the house OF Farwell
Ellsworth & Co., the senior partner OF
which, Gov. Farwell, of Wisconsin, was
for seven years principal examiner OF In
ventions in the patent office at Washing
ton; and Maj. E. A. Ellsworth, attorney
and counselor at law, the junior partner,
who was for many years engaged in
large patent practice in the same city.
We pen this article without the knowl-
edge ofthe house, or even an acquaintance
with any of its members, save what is
public in their well-known reputation
here, and in the radius of the patent
Office at Washington; and the ability to
do so gives us the greater satisfaction
from the fact of trying experience to
which friends and ourselves have been
subjected from the want of such facilities,
repetition which can be avoided by
Others. by securing the services OF these
gentlemen. 1t is also q matter Of con-
graduation that thus, one by one, the
wants and plans of our community, in its
great business enterprises and interests
are amply met and provided for. 1u
