American Inaenuitr.

The inventive genius OF the country, as
shown by the records of the patent office, has
had a most extraordinary development within
the past fye years. Up to 1850 the patents but
once reached 1000 per annum From that period
until 1860 no year showed 5000 patents, while
the average of five years past has been over
$4,000 per year
The patents for the month past show, in a
notable degree, the wide range of subjects upon
which the inventors of the country are now eX-
ercising their gifts and skill. In size they ex-
tend from needle-sharpener to propeller ma
chine and they cover improvements in nearly
every branch of human art. Among the recent
inventions are: device for attaching buttons
to clothing with screw-driver; an attachment
to pianos, so that the strings may be touched
midlength by a pedal movement and sounds
similar to violin or guitar obtained;
a child's carriage, so arranged that
when the handles are dropped a pull
stops the wheels and arrests motion at
once, and when grasped the pawl is released;
a pencil sharpener that also operates as han
die for stumps of lead pencils; breast pins and
earrings with tubes to hold artificial flowers;
an apparatus for drawing on boots, consisting
OF strap passing around the body below the
waist, having at each end a hook TO engage the
boot tugs; medical compound for the small
poX, composed OF first, saltpetre, gum camphor
and charcoal; second, black cohosh water, Ga
compound TO cure cholera infantum,) olive oil,
mutton tallow, saltpetre, cinnamon bark and
CuaICOdls IL DOuQutt HOlu6F Oh SOU metal, Inat
after filling with flowers and water may be
closed at the top; castor for stove legs;
towel holder, TO be let into woodwork; a lady's
comb, passed into the back hair in the usual
manner and the leaves allowed to overlap aud
press upon the chignOn, a spring serving not
only to retain the ornament in place, but the
chignon also; headlight for locomotives, with
an adjustable number placed in front of the
light, and also with movable cOlored screen
to be operated by the engineer.
Some of the most simple among the patents
consist IN those manufactured for toys. A game
called success, in which a ball dropped mechani-
cally is driven around by rotating star; toy
hydrogen pistol, in which sodium balls, coated
with paratinc, are exploded; dolls head, with
removable sections, to hold head.dresses, and
also blank front, allowing the dolls face also
to be changed; a top, the blast of the breath
through the tube rotates the lower portion, and
strong blast suStanS the lower part in mid
air by the action of spiral yanes; toy saving
machine, the invention of a Baltimorean; toy
bank, in which an autOmaton banker stands to
receive money, and, when a spring is olsen
gagged, he turns around, the door is shut, and
the money is deposited in the back part OF the
bank.
The season of the year has led to many in
ventions OF fly traps and frames for mosquito
nets, but notwithstanding the heat, the patents
for stoves largely outnumber those for refrigera-
tors and other cooling apparatus Correspond

A JAPANESE GROoM.-At 5 O'Clock in the
morning we set off with NJ. Lndau, on an ex-
cursion which promises to be charming, and,
indeed, is so. We are going to try some horses
which we think of taking for month. II is
ride Of fOrty-eight miles and if they resist such
fatigue the bargain will be concluded. They
are cobs, black as ebony, with bright and
lively eye and touch Of the Arab about them.
To horse, to horsel we must be off. We began
by an hours fast trot along the valley which
extends south Of Yokohama, and followed a
narrow path in the middle of the rice fields,
every moment jumping over little bridges foot
wide, made of three bamboos placed side by
side. All this time / never got tired Of watch
ing my "betto" (Japanese groom who ran be.

my horse, his friend, by sharp little cry at

past Of beans. wish could show you how he
barely touches the ground with his light tread
When he started bis dress was magnificent; he
wore dark blue robe with enormously large
sleeves, and tight trousers which defined the
most exquisite legs AS ne ran through the rice
fields, his sleeves streaming in the winds, he
looked like great blue butterfly racing after
the tall flowers. Soon, gradually throwing off
all bis coverings, he appeared only in a pair of
socks and his scarlet tattoo marks, which repre-.
sented a struggle between woman, some large
birds and a serpent English ladies would have
preferred the tattooing of NJ. Lindau's betto--
perfectly naked, he was yet clothed. His tattoo
marks represented blue jacket with white but

deemed sufficient TO control the beast It sub

on entering the arena suddenly threw up its
head and, plunging mady 10 the right and left
broke loose from the men and dashed forward
through the tents. Its first victim was John
Gillem, a canYasman, who was knocked down
and, the beast trampling upon his breast, he
was killed instantly.
1t next ran its nose against Martin Ready
another canyasman, striking him in the stom-
ach, ripping out his bowels, and killing him on
the spot. II then made dash in the direction

Anthony Froude, who has been known to us be-
fore as James Mr. Mccarthy, we suppose, is
a good authority for the name which his spon-
sors gave him in baptism. ALBERT Rhodes con-

is an interesting paper on an unfamiliar subject.
Gen. Custer tells more of his life on the plains.

people of New England, is problem which
seems too difficult to be solved. Our suggestion
for the relief Of the Posts perplexity is to doubt
the correctness Of the census figures, which, for
our own part, so far as the statistics of agricu-
ture are concerned, we find much more easy
than TO accept them implicitly, as minute
ly or substantially accurate. To oppose
general impressions to a tabuated report
where everything is set down in exact figures
presumably obtained by careful inquiry in the
bestinformed quarters, may seem unreasonable;
but some OF the statements of the report, which
we are able to subject to a rough test, prove so
wide Of the mark that we are obliged to with
hold our confidence from all of them. In table
v, entitled Selected statistics of agriculture in
townships where the value of all productions of
all kinds equals orexceeds 500 0O0, - we find the
agricultural products of Springfield valued at
S754 ,s6S, largely exceeding those of any other
town or city in the state. This is very likely
not exaggerated, SO far as the actual production
OF Springfield is concerned; but ON looking
further we fail 10 find Worcester among the
towns whose products are reported. The
omission implies that the agricultural
products of this city are of less
value than s1OO 900, which every
person capable of forming an opinion
must know to be untrue. 1t also appears that
Springfield, with some thousands of acres less
of improved land, has agricultural products val
ued at more than seven and half times as much
as those of Worcester. The former city may
possibly exceed Worcester in the value Of these

photography and well known as critic and
magazine writer
James R. ossood & Co. have in press and will
publish this fall a volume of essays and stories
selected from the writings of the late George B
Wood, of the DailyAdvertiser. Mr. Wood had
many friends in Worcester county, who will be
glad to have this memorial from him. The vol
umn will also have an interest of its own, for
although its author died at the threshold of
promising and brilliant life, he had made the
most of his opportunities, and written many
things which will be remembered long after the
work of more pretentious writers is forgotten.
