PRoGREssIvE.-AIis Anna Nichols,
of Massachusetts, has recently been ap-
pointed assistant examiner of the Patent
Office. The lady has for some time very
creditably fulfilled the duties OF clerk (;
and on the occasion of some vacancies in
the eXaminerships, she was one of sew
eral ladies who competed for places. All
the candidates were subjected to general
scientific examination as 10 their capa-
bilities for the position, and four ladies
passed the ordeal with much credit.
The Commissioner, however, cOncIeled
TO appoint only one Of them for the
present, as q sort of experiment.
There are few duties connected with
the operation of the Patent Office but
may be efficiently performed by intel
ligent women. 1t is all indoor work,
mostly of fixed, clerical nature, for
which petticoats are admirably adapted;
and If the Commissioner would make
more general use Of them, he would set
Tree a large number OF pantaloons to be
nseiully employed in developing the
more direct outdoor industries OF the
country, for which men are, by nature,
50 especially prepared.

Mr.. Herbert Spencer writes in the
London Examiner several pleasant
things of the late John Stuart Mill, IL
lustrating the practical generosity of
the man. "SOme seven years ago" I"
writes Mr.. Spencer, latter bearing as
long as was possible the continued losses
entailed on me by the publication OF the
System Of Philosophy, notified the
subscribers that should be Obliged 10
cease at the close OF the volume then in
progress. Shortly after the issue of this
announcement l received from Mr.. Mill
letter, in which, after expressions Of
regret, and after naming plan which
he wished to prosecute for reimbursing
me, ne went on to say: I'm the next
place, what propose is that you should
write the the next OF your treatises, and
that L should guarantee the publisher
against ioss-i. e., should engage, after
such length OF time as may be agreed
on, to make good any deficiency that
may occur, not exceeding q given sum,
that sum being such as the publisher
may think sufficient to secure him.
Now, though these arrangements were
Of kinds that could not bring myself to
yield to, they none the less profoundly
impressed me with Mr.. Millis mobility
OF feeling, and his anxiety to further
what he regarded as beneficial end.
Such proposals would have been re-
markable even had there been entire
agreement of opinion. But they were
the more remarkable as being made by
him nnder the consciousness that there
existed between us certain fundamental
differences, openly avowed."

tho latter is chcatipg tho county! 1t Is alleged

The report Of the Finnnce Committee Of the
Common Council which waa made public yestor-
day, aud will bo formally preaentcd to tho Coun-
ell tomorrow evening, aftor an examination Of
Mr. Gago'a accounts, ia o very complete answer
to tho unsupported runaors which hayo beon
vaguoly limited by his opponents to assist
them in their efforts to grab the city funds,
The Finance Committee report tn Language
that is perfectly p1ain mud unambguous. "Wo
find the Treasurer's accounts correct" they say,
"and tho cash in hand that tho city funds arc
entiroly safo, and the special funds IN the con-
ditton required by law" We do not think that
any Intelligent man iu Chicago has honestly ba-
1iovod that the situation was otherwise, in
spite Of the fact that Mr. Hesing's howl
about "Counting the Money" was put
forth expressly with tho purpose Of ex-
citing dstrust. Wo have already pointed
out how tho money could be easiiy counted by
any one who suspected that it Was not intact.
Every oitizon WHO has not taken the pains to do
this personally muBt accept tho report of the
Finance Committee. which fortunately consists
Of sonlo Of tic beat mon in tue community. At
tho samo time, the accounts show that Mr.
Gage has paid out during the last month
81, ,170, 150.10. This Is tho largest disbursement
ever made in ono month in tho City Of Chicago.
with tho exception Of tho month immediately
preceding the fire, which was reckoned up to
tho 9th of October. It is important as showing
that Alr. Gage pnys out the money, according to
tho rcsouroes of tile Treasury, as tho demands
are made for It, We hayo, then, in Mr. Gage, a
candidate for City Treasurer who has kept tho
money safely up to tlis time, who pays it
ont promptly as tho demands arc mude, and
who Inns, at the Same time, paid tho city moro
than $4,000 Of interest in three ycars which
he might lawfully have put in his own pocket.
Tllfa is not tho kind OF MN that suits Atr.
Hosing.. No presume. therefore, that his caudi-
date for Mr. Gasa'a place would have to purauo
different policy In order to satisfy him.
