AMERICAN AND FOREIGN PATENTS.
 R. H. EDDY, SOLICITOR OF PATENTS,

For Inventions, Trade Marks. or Designs No. 76 STATE ST., OPPOSITE KIIBY ST., Bosrox 4 FTER an extensive practice of upwards of A thirty years, continues to secure Patents in the United States; also in Great Britain, France. and other foreign countries. Caveats, Specihca- tons, Assignments, and all papers for Patents ex- ecuted on reasonable terms with dispatch. Re- searches made to determine the validity and utili- advice rendered in all matters touching the same. Copies of the claims of any patent furnished by remitting one dollar. Assignments recorded tn Washington.
 No Agency in tho United States possesses supO- rior facilities for obtaining Patsnts, or ascertain ing the patentability of inventions. All necessity of journey to Washington to pro- cure patent, and the usual great delay tAere, here saved inventors.

A CASE OF MILLIoNAIRE--An new mis ser millionaire of New York has just been discovered, or rather brought to light, for his residence has long been known. It is in tumble-down shanty, half mile from Central Park-the cheapest and most worthless roof the rich man owns. He is sixty years old, white haired and bearded, and bed-ridden. His house is kept by termagant who drives all curi- ous people and visitors away, except those who bring proper credentials that they come on business. 1ntervlewers are never let in, but, the other day, the house was penetrated by photographer who went there by appointment to take down what the old man had to say regarding a case at law in which he was interested. The man of rapid hand took iu self-im- posed misery at glance. Every corner of the house was stuffed full of of crock cry, furniture, ornaments, &c., that had Been taken from tenants unable to pay their rent.
 1t was museum of household truck that had been wrung from tho hands of misfortune by the grasp of averice. The man had near his bed blackboard and q piece of chalk to do his figuring and com pute his income whenever be felt so in- clined. It was cheaper than pen, ink and paper. He amused himself by doing sums of interest and rent, and rubbing them out and doing them over again for the pleasure 1t afforded him.
 He varied the picture of the miser counting his money-he figured. The photographer took down what he had to say about the case, and put the old man in terrible spasms of pain by using paper for this purpose wasting it by recording what he had to say-an enormous rob- bcry of fifty cents page which he sup posed he would have to pay for. He rec ognized conflict of his interest in busi ness; it was his interest to talk. and it was his interest to say just as little as was compatible with the rules of intelligi- ble language. It nearly killed him to steer between the latter and the former without injury to either. It is the worst case of miser millionaire in New York probably anywhere. And this man owns palaces In Fifth Avenue, and blocks of stores on Broadway; put how little com fort does all this give him.

ry for demanding" in a resolution
passed by them, that the condition Of
the Insane be examined into; in other
words, the Auditor. as editor of the

ed With crying abuse in the Insane
Asylum, should get down on their knees
ana humbly beg that the /" August" and
Honorable" ofice-holders would deign
to consider the condition Ct the institu-
ton named. But if it in anyway inter-
feres with the pleasure or emoluments
of any of the political pets; why, then!
then! perhaps you can smoothe it over.
II is, however, the opinion of the pro-
fession. that, as part of the people,
they have right to demand that the

MATT. CARPENTER Chares d.
Robinson, the Oldest and ablest Demo-
cratic editor in Wisconsin, says it is
probably certain that Matt. Carpenter
will be returned to the Senate, and takes
the following philosophic view of the
case:
'As to whether that is good thing
or not, depends mainly on the stand
point from which such things are re-
garded. From the Republican side Of
view, there are thousand contending
elements, principal among which are
the various personal views of the host
of them in that party. each of whom
thinks he would make the best kind Of
Senator himself. From the Reform
side, where, on account of the peculiar
political circumstances this year, there
are no candidates, we can look over the
ground impartially. These considera-
tons suggest themselves: MIR. Carpen-
ter has no superior, on the Radical side,
in the Senate, in point of intellectual
ability-indeed, it is a question if he
has an equal. In that particular, Wis
consin need noi be ashamed of him. AS
to his record on public matters he is no
worse eff than pretty much the whole
Senate. He took the back pay. but he
voted to repeal the law--to be sure,
without refunding what "swag" fell to
his share; but we reckon he didn't have
it to refund. 1t went "where the wood
bine twineth." Grant, for instance,
pocketed his share. ard has got it to-
day, in the shape of bonds and stocks;
Matt, beyond a doubt, lent his to his
party vagabonds who are forever hang
ing on his skirts. AS to the balance of
tie peccadilloes, the Credit Mobilier,
the press. gag and so on. he is no worse
than his Radical associates, who are un-
repentant, while he, doubtless, every
night, repents him OF his sins and his
associates. In all these matters we are
inclined to the view of the railroad pres
ident who was solicited to remove GER
tain conductors on his road, who were
charged with stealing. "No." said he,
it will be economy to keep them. They
have now got their fast horses and gold
watches and so on, and will not steal
much more If you put new men into
the places, they will all have to be fit
ted out again"
Standing upon the outside rim of
the circle, then, and looking in impair
TALLY, we are of the opinion that the
coming Republican Legislature most
likely will and indeed ought re-elect

The quality of mercy Of . Pittsburg,
Pa, clothing dealer cas- rather severely
strained the other day. He caught a fell
low in his store stealing pair of panta-
looms; but the thief declared he did it
because he had no money, no home, no
friends, no place to lay his head and he
wanted to go to the work-house. The
clothing man, instead Of sending the
thief to Jail, took pity on him and set
him to work in his store; but some bad
boys hearing of it, thought it presented
a fine opening for them, and went next
day and stole eight pair of pantaloons.
The clothing man now advertises that
he don't want to hire any more help.

MINING VENTURE To those who care

MINING VENTURE To those who care
to make a small venture in mining ops
erations With no contingent risk. the
offer of the .Seattle Gold and Silver
Mining Company, presents very "a
vorable opportunity. If the mines turn
out one half as well as they prospect.
every unassessable share now taken at
ten dollars, will be worth fifty dollars as
soon as the mine is developed, and be-
vond the first investment there is no
risk to the holder and no danger OF be-
ing frozen ont by exorbitant assessments.
1t is objected by some, that the Compa-
ny. after selling two thousand shares OF
stock at ten dollars a share, retain eight
thousand shares, which would be put
ting in their mines at an aggregate of
one hundred thousand dollars. Well.
discoveries of no greater apparent value
have frequently sold for much more
than that amount, and the probabilities
are that by putting the whole of their
stock on the San Francisco market, it
could be sold to spectators for pore
than an average of ten dollars share,
and the small stockholders would be
speedily frozen out. The plan of SELL
ing portion ut low rates for cash to be
applied to.developing the mines. is to
guard against any such contingency.
and to secure to every holder of stock
the full value of his interest therein. II
the mines turn out to be worth ten mlll-
ions of dollals is not impossible
every unassessable share for which
ten dollars is now paid, will be worth
one thousand dollars, and the Company
who own the mines and are responsible
for all the expense of developing and
improving them, will realize eight mill
ions from their venture. The PROPOSE
ton is plain. open and fair. free from
trick OF false pretence. All the personal
interest we have in this project is in
unassessable shares, paid for at the rate
of ten dollars share. If it proves
worthless, we shall lose less by it than
any one of the original stockholders,
without "wear and tare" about it.

fact that Office holders have habit of
shifting responsibility. the Society felt
it their duty to make the resolution
strong enough to cover the whole
ground, and If there is no law that will
enable them TO appoint the commission
asked for, they can present the facts
and affidavits to the Grand Jury of the
district in which the Asylum is located.
The Standard says that the afidavlts
were from "former employees OF the
Institution. That is true, but not all
of the truth, nor tho principal truth, for
the afidavits upon which the Medical
Society founded their demand. we're
from former patients who had been dis
charged as cnred. and the reletives of
parties who had seen the maltreatment
while visiting their friends at the Asy-
lum; and instead of condemning the
contractor by er parte evidence. as the
Standard claims, the Society delayed
the action of their committee until after
election, that the contractor, who was
candidate, need not be affected by state
ments that mig ht possibly prove to be
unjust; and it was for this reason that
the Society requested that perfectly re
liabl men be placed on the commission
to examine into the affairs of the Insti-
tuition; and while the present Board OF
Inspectors may be men of honor and
probity. if the statements made In the
affidavits are true, they are either in-
competent to fill SO important trust,
and have been grossly deceived. or have
wilfully aided in deceiving the public;
and if they are free from faint in this
matter, they should be the first to ask
thorough examination; not by them
selves, but by others. who have no OBJ
iect or interest in making false report
on either side.
The truth is, the Asylum is entirely
in the hands and under the care of those
who both by education and habit are
totally untitled for an enlightened and
thorough treatment of the Insane, as is
evidenced by the low percentage Of
cures in comparison with other institu-
tions not as favorably situated. Out
siders have said that all the medical
profession want is to get the Institution
into their hands that they may make
money out of it. A moments thought
will show the falacy of such argument.
There is nothing to prevent any one OF
the profession from taking the keeping
of the Insane by contract, and they
could do it cheaper than any one else
and make money ont of it. But the
profession object to letting the keeping
of the Insane by contract. as it is liable
to abuse in any mans hands. And In
any circumstances but one member OF
tho profession can be benefited. out OF
the whole number in The Territory. But
the profession claim that they can do
better for the Insane. and at less cost to
the people, if the Asylum is placed un-
der the entire control of q competent
member of their fraternity. a5a
To illustrate: if the contract for the
public printing should be given at high
rates to person who knew nothing Of
the art, who did his work in shiftless
manner, because he knew no better,
would not the craft be justified in de-
manding change, that those who knew
what the work should be, should have
charge of it? The medical profession
stand in the same relation to the Insane
and their treat
