Patent Office Abuses.

The U. s. Patent Office was Intended
to encourage inventive genius by secur.
ing to the inventor of useful labor-saving
machinery aud other valuable inven.
tons, the benefit Of the same, by patent.
So far, so good. But abuses have crept
into it, as well as into every other de-
partment of government. Instead of
blessing il is becoming a curse to the
country, and the instrument Of the
foulest wrong and oppression. Through
its iustrumentality wealthy monopolies
have been built up, which are fattening
upon the spoil they are thus enabled to
wiring from henest industry throughout
the land. Patents are now obtained
for everything, however trivial, and 10
some instances, patents are issued to
different individuals for the same in
veution. With money enough, the
possessors Of patent about to expire,
can obtain a renewal, and thus secure
a fresh lease Of power to rob the public,
adj E6itan,, for an indefinite period
The oppression Of these monopolies, in
some instances, has become unbearable,
aud their exactious little better than
robbery. They have become an incubus
upon public prosperity, and a clog to
the business of the country, aud call
loudly for reform. Let Congress look
into this subject with an honest scru-
tiny.
We speak Of the wrongs inflicted
upon society by the Patent Office, only
In general terms. We might specify
many instances to support what we have
said, but it is unnecessary. The ex.
pcriences of many persons sufficiently
attestall we have said, while the record
Of sundry cases made public within the
last few years more than corroborate it.
We repeat that the administration of
the Patent Office, and the laws bearing
upon the subject, require the closest
scrutiny, and the most thorough reform.

Swan Lake---The iHighest Water In
o.. ..e@ .E lava


From the Emmett County Indicator.
One of the most beautiful and pic
turesque lakes I'm Northwestern Iowa
il situated about seven miles north
west of Estherville, near the Mime
sofa line, on the great central high
lands between the Des Moines and
Little Sioux rivers. The former
flows into the Mississippi, while the
latter meanders along more south
westerly and empties into the Mis-
souri,. .gEagt8 -M N
Spirit Lake has heretofore claimed
the honor of'heing the highest body
of water In Iowa; but by q more
careful and accurate engineering sur.
vey, Ii has been found that Miss Spirit
will have to retire to her sulphurous
regions and pass over the laurels to a
higher and more rarified neighbor.
Swan Lake is pre-eminently like
Its wild sharp-eyed namesake-being
securely hidden away ameng high
granite boulders. From the shore
SUBMITS OF this picturesque body OF
water oLe has broad and command
ing outlook over the whole surround
ing country. 1t is.also great annual
nesting place for Immense fiocks OF
swan, pelican, white crane and other
migratory fowls.
A few miles from the crystal shores
of this skysmirrored lake the huge
folds of prairie have reached their
climax, and on this grand summit
the most far-reaching views can be
obtained. On clear day the dark
outlines of the Blue Earth timber,
fifty miles to the north.e east, can be
plainly seen, also seven thriving viii
lages are In full view. The eye can
distinctly trace the Little Sioux river
from its source until 1t leaves Clay
county, and over forty mag nificent
lakes with their encircling belts OF
timber, and the great valley of the
Des Moines river, in natures own
painting, is plainly mapped out be-
fore you for distance Of seventy.five
miles, #aw..".

Our National Disease.

If we were to classify the diseases
of the three nations, we should say
that in France disease attacks the
heart, in America the brain, in Eng
land the toes. .'. :
We live in q climate ten times
more trying than either that OF
France or England. We work be.
meath sun which In India would
keep man indoors, with. n native
tanning him by day and punkah
doing duty by night. We toll. we
strain, we think we make one grand
stride from the cradle TO the grave. -
A doctor once remarked that every
body wrote about the advantages of
exercise, but no enc Of the beauties OF
repose.
We once knew q Hungarian who
shut himself up In his room for
three weeks with his pipe, and didn't
speak to human being during that
time. On asking him what he did
with himself, he replied Messing"
"What did you think about ?" "Oh |!
nossing Just sat to my chair, with
out to see nobody, and I was quite
disgoost when | go to my daener."-
Some people might call this fellow
lazy, but there was more philosophy
about him than one would imagine.
Without pretending In the slight
est degree TO professional knowl~
edge of our national disease, we con-
ceive the principal remedy to be rest
and better attention to the CASTRO
nomic juices. What we want Is a
knowledge Of how to amuse our
selves, more aesthetic pleasures, more
bonhoniie more shooting boxes, and
above all these things, more joviali.
ty. Poor Tom Corwin used to say
that solemnity was the only thing
which succeeded in the world. He
may have been right In one way, yet
laughter is the healthiest. AS a ma
tion we need an alternative, an OPT
ate IL may be; at all events, some
thing to stop this feverish action of
the rational heart, this sleepless en-.
ergy of the national brain. Golden
