Inventions and Patents,

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 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 d 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 Z. 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 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.

A Street Romance.

A few weeks ago a poor lonely bachelor,
who had never loved or been loved, LETT
his dreary home for the sake Of little ex.
ercise. The morning was bright and
sunny, and as he walked up Broadway he
gazed longing at the girls as they passed
him, and thought Of his wretched condl-
ton. As he saw their bright and smiling
countenances, and the happy faces of their
male companions he could not but con-
trast his own loneliness and single misery.
These thoughts weighed upon him, and he
became quite melancholy. AS he was
standing on the sidewalk, gazing listlessly
about, he saw beautiful young girl com,
ing toward him leading a venerable blind
man. Unmindful of the danger she In
Cured from the passing vehicles, her
whole thought was devoted to her charge,
which she finally landed in safety on the
sidewalk. He thanked her for her kind
ness, and she left him. The lonely bach
elor saw the whole transaction, and II
struck him so torcibly that all his ideas
concerning the gentler sex of the com,
munity were changed. He took a good
look at the young lady, that he might
know her again, and went his way. he
subsequently described her to some OF NJ
friends, and after ascertaining VINO she
was, procured an introduction. He found
she was just as good as he thought her
and now he is a married man OF course,
he told her of the incident that led to ther
acquaintance. She in turn told 1t TO hei
lady friends, and the consequence IS InaV

THE KNABE PIANo.--We refer with
special pleasure to the advertisement Of
the Great Piano Mandatory of Messrs.
VIM. Knabe & Co., of Baltimore.
This factory Is now one of the largest
in the world; it is a magnificent Ave
story structure, fronting an entire block
on Eutaw st., and covering together
with the Lumber Yards attached, some
two and one-halfacres of ground. Three
hundred and fifty men are constantly
employed turning out over forty instru-
ments per week.
The Knabe Piano has by its superior
lty not only well nigh driven those of
Northern manufacture from the home
market, but also enjoys large sale in
New York, Philadelphia and through
out the entire North and West, besides
their largely increased Southern trade.
The most talented musicians of the
day, both amateur and professional, ties.
THY TO their superiority, and wherever
exhibited they have never failed to
carry off the highest awards over all
competition, having received no less
than G5 first premiums. During the
last season they were used simulta-
neously by the most distinguished art
lists at the Opera Houses in Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New York, Brooklyn,
Chicago, &c. There is certainly no in.
strument made, more durable than the
Knabe Piano, none but the best work
men being employed and only the very
best materials used.
