CONVENIENT ETIQUETTE.-A professor IN one
OF our western colleges, whose bodily presence
was weak, but who, havinga tall spirit, was deter
mined to bate inch ofthe respect due to his office
or himself, disappearing also of the lax conven-
tlonality OF the frontier" requested the STU
dents whenever they should meet him, DR.. H.
their friend and their professor, TO take off their
hats! This enactment did not suit the western
temper, and stirred slightly the western pulse
No remonstrance however was offered and the
doctor, who had been visited by misgivings as
to the result breathed freely, felt that the rough
point was rounded, and lelicitatcd himself upon
his firmness.
Returning one evening from a supper party
in unusually genial mood, DR.. II. assembled the

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE NATIONAL CAPITOL.
A law passed by congress during the session
just closed authorized the purchase of two
squares of ground, to be added to the public
grounds surrounding the capitol. These squares
are situated, one north and one south of the inn,
proved grounds east of the capitol, and when
included and improved will make the boundary
of the capitol grounds regular and uniform, and
will cut Off all parts of the capitol building from
any of the public streets. The steps necessary
to procure condemnation Of the property on
the two squares have been already taken. and
the plans for their Improvement have been ap.
proved by the committee on public build
ings and grounds. plan for the i'm

sion, and is ordered to be adopted by
the law above alluded to. The plan contem.
plates the cutting down Of the east capitol park
from the building, in order TO leave the capitol
on prominence, and the filling Of New Jersey
and Delaware avenues, North Capitol and other
streets north Of the capitol and obliteraung the
hollow now existing at the Baltimore depot and
along the line Of that road for several squares
This will compel that company 10 raise its track
so that it will not interfere with the approaches
TO the capitol. The plan further contemplates
the cutting and filling of New jersey avenue
south OF the capitol. This plan has been ap.
proved by the committee, and in accordance with
IT, the east capitol park will be cut down as
recommended, so that the drainage, instead of
being upon the capitol as now, will be from the
building toward First street, east. In cutting
down the east capitol park, many Of the trees
will be taken out of IL, especially those of rough
appearance and rapid growth. Valuable trees
will be lowered with thenpark. The committee
also recommend the gradual abolition Of the

IMPORTANT PATENT DECIsIoN.-Among the
decisions rendered yesterday in the circuit court,
one of the most important was that in the case
of AlziruS Brown VS.. j. r. Whittemore ct al,
sustaining the patent of George Whitcomb for
Improvements in horse hay rakes The de-
cision involved such adjudication upon the con-
struction of patents and the rights of patentees
in new mechanical combinations as to make
the case assume the significance of jul
dicial landmark. Ii was deliberately argued at
the early part of the term by Messrs. Thomas
II. Dodge and George W. Searle for the com
panants and by Messrs. Chauncey Smith and
VIM. W. Swan for the respondents. The opin-
ion was delivered by Judge Lowell in full con-
currencc with Judge Clifford. In word, the
leading issue was this: the respondents claimed
that IN a machine where one new element or de
vice is used, in order to have a legitimate and
legal combination, all the other elements used
in connection with such device must be included
On the other hand, the complainanis con-
tended that where machine is improved upon,
a combination of two elements, even though
those clements may be both old is legitimate
combination, provided such clements are ar
ranged so as to produce a new and useful result !;
and that to a certain extent the law of cquiva-
Tents may he invoked by the patentee to protect
him in his rights secured by such claims.-Bos-

HAIL TEMPEST IN BERKs HIRE--A CORE
