Great Britain Paying OF Her Debt.

The present government of Great
Britain is the most economical she has
ever had, and is even criticised by the
opposition as niggardly. But its achieve
,nents is steadily reducing at once taxa
ton and the national debt are SO accepta-
lie to the people, that It can not suffer
much from such attacks.
In the first quarter Of the current f.
nancial year the receipts of the British
treasury exceeded the expenditures SO
much that surplus Ell. 592, 600 was left,
for which there was no use whatever ex
cept to extineuish debt. and it was app
piled accordingly to purchase consols.-
1 ne prospect is that the surpins will be
greater for each of the remaining quar-
tiers of the year, and that more than &c.
SOC, 1000 of debt will be cancelled out OF the
current receipts. Besides this, portion
of the principal! Of the debt has been con-
verted into teTminable annuities, so that
the current expenses of each year actu>
ally include about 60 100000 Of the cap
ital sum owed by the Government
Thus the debt is practically diminishing
At the rate Of f9. SOC, 600 per annum.
This. it will be rememb ered, is accom-
plished by financial policy directly the
reverse of that which controls the Uni>
ted States. The British Government
protects no private interest maintains no
monopolies, taxes the people no more
than is necessary, upon q fair revenue
system, and repeats taxes as fast as it
safely can. It now levies duties on
about dozen articles, while the tax five
thousand. The population of this coun-
try is now nearly fourth greater than
that of the United Kingdom; its wealth
is scarcely less. and its prospective res
sources are incomparahly greater With
a revenue tariff, specie currency, and
a steady remission of taxes, as they can
be spared. begipning with the most op
pressive, cur revenues and our financial
condition could not fail, within few
years, to be equal to those of Great Brit.

Our F ees.

SuI OOo.
We call attention TO the follow
ing extract from the last report of
the Com missioner of Patents
"When establishments are or
ganized for the purpose of procur
ing patents, they are apt to become
more solicitious about the number
than the quality of those which
they obtain. This tendency is ag
gravated by those who solicit pat
ents upon contingent fees, or who.
without special training or qualifi-
cations, adopt this business as an
incident to claim agency. and
press for patents as they press for
back pay and pensions. Such men
are often more DESTROYS of obtain
ing a patent of any kind, and by
any means, than they are of obtain
ing one which shall be of any value
to their clients. Inventors are
often poor, uneducated, and lack
ing in legal knowledge. They de-
sire q cheap solicitor, and do not
know how to choose d good one.
Theyare pleased with the parch-
ment and the seal, and are not
themselves able to judge Of the
scope or value of the grant.
Honest and skillful solicitors,
with thorough knowledge of the
practice of the office, and Of pat
emit law, and who are able and will
ing to advise their clients as to the
exact value of the patents which
they can obtain for them, may be
of much service to INVENTORS
There are many such, but those
who care for nothing but to give
them som ething called a patent,
that they may secure their own fee,
have in too many instances proved
a curse. To get rid of til cir client
and OF trouble, they have some
times been content to take less
than he was entitled to, lille in
many cases they have, with much
self laudation, presented him with
the shadow, when the substance
was hey ond bis reach"
With the class thus denounced, We do not
propose to compete, but our long experience
in the patent Office and the courts, has. we re-
spectfuly submit, given us such facilities for
the transaction OF business, that we can OF
fer our services for fees as low as any reputa-
BILE practitioners can afford to charge and
far below what any competent persons can
afford d, who have yet to familiarize themselves
18th the euor nous and constantly increasing
mass of American and foreign patents. We
charge no more than fair remuneration. We
are not willing to work for less. In ordinary
cases, our charge is $40 which covers all our
fees before the Exam liner and the Board of
Examiners iu chief. Exceptionally difficult
cas- es must be made a matter of special ar
rangemeut. Our fee is not conditional. We
cannot afford to work for nothing. But we
rarely fail to get patent after favorable
report on preliminary examination. The
Commissioners report shows that about %
per cent. of the applications made in 1869,
were finally rejected. Of cases filed by US
during that year, less than 4 per cent. were
thus rel cted.

A RATHER bashful young man, after
long and arduous courtship, found
himself one bright evening the be-
trothed of pretty girl, the very pink
of modesty. He was about 10 take
his departure, and, after lingering
about the door for some time, he de-
clared and protested to Miss Sallie
that he couldn't and wouldn't leave
until she had kissed him. OF course
Miss Sallie blushed beautifully red,
and avowed in return that she could
not and would not do that-she never
had done such 3 thing, and never
would until she was married. The
alteration became exciting, until the
gentleman got hufed, and declared il
he couldn't kiss her he wouldn't have
her, and was marching off. She
watched him to the door, and seeing
he was in earnest, and that she should
lose him unless something was done
she said, coaxingly, "Come back
then Fllrsplit the difference with you
You may squeeze my hand"
