three cities have elected women to the
responsible office of city physician. The
latest event of the kind happened i'm

of Springfield, in that State, has recent

ans right to heal the sick officially as

Women as Inventors.

The Hon. :. 5. Fisher, Commissioner
of Patents, lectured in Cincinnati some
time since, on Inventors and the In
ventions." The american EnGineeT.
gives the following interesting report of
the commissioners lecture: He spoke
of the Patent Office building, of the
method of procuring q patent, and the
laws regulating their use, and the bene-
fits resulting from the system, all of
which are pretty generally understood.
Among points not so well known is the
part taken by women in the mechanical
inventions. On this subject the Com
missioner speaks encOuragingly. In
the department OF wearing apparel they
have taken out patents for almost every
thing mentiOnable and unmentionable.
Among the patents issued to them the
past year is one for Il fatirOn, another
for a musquitO net, and others for step
ladders, fluting machines, toys, corset
clasps, wash stands, toilet powders, sticks
for trundling hoops, clothes dryers, etc
One unusually ingenious lady has al
ready taken out her sixth patent. To
show that their inventions are not only
ornamental but useful, he mentions one
that has been presented. 1t was called
IAN improvement on erimping pins"
but the fair patentee says of it that at
modification, into ticket holder, book
mark, tweezers, pin for securing orna-
ments to the person, file for bills and
circulars, q tassel holder for window
curtains, an ornament, a stamp ripper,
nail cleaner, ear pick, lamp chimney
cleaner, and last, but not least, an orna-
mental head band for securing the hair
of children It is to be hoped this
''slight modification" will never be
made, otherwise there would be little
left for future inventors to puzzle over.
As the practical education of woman
improves, and her field of labor widens,
many other classes of mechanical con-
trivances viii undoubtedly be the better
for her attention.
The Commissioner gave some examples
of odd or whimsical inventions, of which
this is one: \ gentleman took out a
patent last year for an elaborate system
of strings, straps aad buckles, the pur-
pose of which was to keep the human
mouth shut without any effort on the
part of the owner. The theory of the
inventor was that many of the "ills flesh
is heir tO' result housekeeping with the
mouth open, an absurd habit he pro-
posed to correct by mechanical appli-
ances. His invention has not vet been
introduced into this State, but will
doubtless be immensely popular, partic-
ularly with those who are suffering from
curtain lectures. Of the velocipede,
four hundred and thirty-twO American
varieties were presented for patents, of
which about three hundred were pat
ented. Fifty of these inventors rushed
into the Patent Office at once, the ma
jOrity of them claiming precisely the
same invention

A SENSIBLE YOUNG LADY.-The life
of DIR. Ratfies, of Liverpool, has the fol-
lowing:
\ young lady, the daughter of the
owner of the house, was addressed by
man who, though agreeable to her, was
disliked by her father. OF course he
would not hear to their union, and they
determined to elOpe. The night was
fixed, the hour came, he placed the lad
der at her window, and in a few mo-
ments she was in his arms. They
mounted double horse and were soon
at some distance from the city. After
while the lady broke silence by say
ing:
"Well, you see what a proof have
given you Of my affection. hope that
in return you will make me 4 good hus-
{ band"
He was a surly fellow, and gruffiy an
swered:
'Perhaps I may, and perhaps may
not"
She made no reply, but after 81
lence of some minutes suddenly eX-
claimed:
"Oh, what shall we do? [ have left
NV money behind me in my room!'
f'Then," said he, I'VE must go back
They were soon at the house, the lad
der was again placed, and the lady re-
mounted, while the ill-natured lover
waited below. But she delayed to
come, and so he gently called;
"Are you cOming?"
She looked out of the window and
said:
"Perhaps may, and perhaps I NAV
not" and then shut down the window
and left him to return upon the double
horse alone.

QUEER NIISTAKEs.-There are in Dor
chester, says correspondent, twin
brothers, whose resemblance to each
other is so strong that strangers can
hardly tell them apart. They keep a
grocery and provision store, and were
one day bringing in bags of meal from a
wagon, which was out of sight from IN
side the store. Nathan had his coat on,
but Eli was in his shirt-sleeves. a
stranger in the shop watched them he of6nr com
ing i'm and going out one after the other,
tnS t,tS, Iii one was visible at a time, and
at last he exclaimed to Eli, "Well,

w ,,onT coat ?h These brothers and
several other men were in the habit of
getting up early and going to swim in
the ''reservoir pond" and once Eli go
ing. as was his wont, to Nathan's house
to call him, by tapping OH the pan, saw
his own face reflected from the glass,
and taking it for his brother, called out,
