Tricks upon Patentees.

An outrageous matchmaking trick is
still successfully resorted to, and should
be understood by all inventors, especially
by those who apply for extensions or re-
newals of patents. The lawyer, in COM
mon with the public generally, having
access to the records of the Patent Office,
prepares list of all applications made
for renewal or extension of patents, and
files with the Commissioner notice of
protest on his own account. He then ac-
quaints himself with the particulars of
each case, and writes to the applicant
that notice of remonstrance has been
filed here that he has been employed by
the persons whose interests are affected
by the proposed extension to argue the
case before the Commissioner; but that,
as his clients are disposed to deal fairly
with the applicant he (the lawyer) thinks
that the case might be compromised and
the applicant saved much trouble and eX-
pense; he adds, perhaps, that failure
to settle the matter beforehand will prob
ably result in a refusal of the petition
for extension. The lawyer is mot at
liberty to name his clients" but will be
glad to communicate to them any pro-
position which the applicant may make.
If the inventor is timid, as is often the
case, he will agree to buy off the imagi-
nary remonstrant, and the black-mailing
lawyer pockets the money. If, on the
other hand, he feels sure of his case, and
goes to great expense to collect evidence
and present it in the strongest possible
light, he finds when he comes before the
Commissioner, no opponent. One of
these swindlers has made large fortune
in this way.

EATON o. THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1871.

Canada trade which San Francisco can
not supply. Besides, the great bulk of
the Western trade require four months
credit. 1t takes capital to give credit.
San Francisco cannot give that credit, not
having the capital, and those that are
able to go to San Francisco to buy teas
for cash are also able to import their own
teas from China, take out what they want,
and sell the remainder of the chop to
other sections.
Chicago had an idea of doing a big
thing in the importation of teas, and or
ganized the Chicago and China Direct
Importation Tea Company, OR something
of that sort, with ever so much capital.
The first thing they did was to arrange
letter of credit through a New York
house, and the next to appoint Gideon
Nye their China agent. Everybody
knows Gideon. The third thing was to
bring about 5000 packages of tea to
Chicago, of which at least one half was a
quality called Chulan Powchong the
|coarsest OF all black tea and utterly un-
suited to the Western trrde, and which
had to find a market in Philadelphia to
supply limited demand for that peculiar
kind among the miners in the western
part of Pennsylvania.
= The fact is to handle teas successfully
two very important things are necessary
money and market. At present, San
Francisco has neither, and it must con-
tent to tarry atsJericho for long time to
come. 1t maylserve very well as for
warding station for what teas we prefer
to bring that way and may ultimately,
by the reduction of transportion rates,
handle respectable portion of them as
forwarding merchants, but as for doing
very much toward supplying the general
trade of the country it might as well give
up that little NATURALIZATION Grocer.

Am Advertising Dodge.

Heretofore America has been awarded
the palm for shrewd and successful ad-
xertising. Scarcely "dodge" known
or unknown, from Barnum's mermaid
down to Helmbold's coarh and six, or
Jim Fisk's diamond, that has not been
pressed into service. To such perfection
has this art been carried, that the inven-
ton of any new means of popular adver-
Using, no matter how outre or expensive,
will almost insure its inventor fortune
through the Patent Office. We thought
the apex of ingenuity had been capped
by the pill vendor in New York, who
shaved his dogs and led them down
Broadway, with the notices of his med1-
cine set forth in richly emblazoned let
ters on their naked bodies; but the feat
performed by London trapezist, with
the design of securing full benefit, goes
step beyond the pill vendor.
AS steamer was passing under Lon
don bridge, an elderly, highly respecta-
BILE looking gentlemen fell overheard.
The life buoy was Immediately thrown
out, but the drowning man, foundering
helplessly in the water, was too weak to
reach it. At this moment a powerful
looking young man divested himself of
his shoes, and without taking off his hat,
mounted the parapet of the bridge, dived
to the great depth below, and, soon
rising to the surface, swan to the rescue
of the drowning man, whom he caught
by the collar of his coat and held thus
until some boats came to the assistance
OF both. OF course this act of heroism
was.@reM ardsd with Immense cheering g
and the young man was not only carried
in triumph to his home, but his gallantry
became the theme of every tongue.
Alas for the spirit of chivalry, however
In an evil moment some good Samaritan,
anxious to reward the youthful hero in
a more public manner, started to hunt
him up, when 10! behold the rescuer and
rescued were discovered to be brothers.
and the latter, who came so near finding
a watery grave, was found out to own
swimming g-school in which, he taught
that art to London youth. The whole
affair had been a cleverly contrived trick,
and now London gnashes its teeth with
modification at having been so out
rageously and hopelessly sold. Its per
petrators have been forced to flee the
country, which fate differs from what
would reward them in America. Here
we would send them to Congress or elect
them Directors of the Erie railroad.-N

TRACING PAPER.-The Engineering
a,adi Mining Journal says that artists,
architects, land surveyors and all others
who have occasion to make use of tracing
paper in their professional duties, will
be glad to know that any paper is capa-
BILE of the transfer of drawing in ordi-
nary ink, pencil, or water color, and that
even stout drawing paper, can be made
as transparent as the thin yellowish pa
per at present used for tracing purposes.
The liquid used is benzine. If the paper
is dampened with pure and fresh distilled
benzine, it at once assumes transparency,
and permits of tracing being made, and
of ink or water colors being used on its
surface without any running" The
paper resumes its opacity as the bepzi1e
evaporates, and, if the drawing is not
the paper must again be dampened with
the benzine. This new discovery of the
properties of benzine will prove of ser
vice to the art profession, in allowing the
use of stiff paper where formerly only a
blight tissue could be used.

How TO CLEAN sFLooRs.-Offic floors
darkened by dirt may be satisfactorily
whitened at the spring cleaning by wash
ing with hot ley, of caustic soda to re-
move any grease, and when nearly dry
moistening with very dilute hydrochloric
acid, and then with a thin paste of hy-
pochlorite of lime, left on over night.
when washed off in the morning, the
whiteness of the floor will be equally
surprising and delightful. Stone house
fronts are cleansed by throwing against
them jet Of water under steam pres
sure. This method is cheap, and does
notinjure ornamental parts. Aside from
the clean and fresh appearance thus Sc
cured, it is calculated that If all theWails
of the buildings in London were kept
clean, instead Of being grimy and dark
from top to bottom, gain would be op-
tanned of half an hour of daylight out oi
every twenty-four.

An Elmira farmer wrote to Mark
Twain for advice as to the best kind OF
bees to keep, and received an answer to
the effect that "husking bees were the
best, but in order to make them lay honey
profitable he must use Il china nest egg,
blanket his bees when they are not on
the nest, and feed them on bran and mid
dlings."

glove looks nearly new. 1t will be soft,
glossy, smooth and elastic.

Mr.. Editorials the time for the Demo-
cratic and Conservative party to select a
Standard Bearer for the next Presidential
Campaign is fast approaching, and as the
friends of different aspirans are pressing
their claims, think it well for us to give
the matter some little attention We want
the most available man. It is evident 10
my mind that we must have frst-class
man, upon whom the Conservative element
of all parties can unite A man, who has
brains and administrative talent equal to
the proper and efficient administration OF the
affairs Of the Nation. A man, who will not
run the Government in the interest of the
Whjskey, Tobacco and all the various rings
that infest the Capital of the Country.
In looking around for man who is avail
able and competent, I have come to the con-
clusion that the Hon. Jno. w. Garrett, Pres
ident Of the Baltimoreand Ohio Railroad, is
the man. He has shown, in his management
of hatimmense Corporation that he hos great
administrative talent-that he has a mind
of the first order, and feel certain that the
Conservative people throughout the County
would unite upon him, and his election
would be sure. Whilst he has always been
Conservative in politics, he has never been
a partisan, which, in my opinion, is an iqs
portant fact-one that will 60 a great way
