Investigation of the same, has re :

the motives that prompt your re,

US with a copy of one of his photo
graphs taken at Camp Apache.
The subject is a group of General
Crooks Indian scouts, with the
General, Major Randall and Ma
jor Rice standing in the back
ground with other officers. Tt is
a very life-like picture. We are
sorry that Mr.. Flanders is suffer-
ing from severe illness. While
at Camp Apache he contracted
that malarious fever so prevalent
in that region. But for his sick
ness he would have stopped a
while in Yuma, but he went on
to his home in Los Angeles hop
ing to regain his health in that
glorious climate. We hope he
will speedily get we'll and return
to Yuma, for there is good field
here for an artist of his accom-
plishments.

VALUABLE INVENTION BY CHARLES r. THOMAS.
Mr. Charles f.. Thomas, of Boughman, Thom-
as Il Co., has received letters patent OH an in-
vention which he has lately made and by which
the keeping of accounts is much simplifed. The
patent may now be seen at i2i Market street,
but the following description is given for the
nifty of inspecting it.
Each page Of a set of alphabetically arranged
pages is printed with horizontal and vertical
alphabets. At the intersecting square deter
mined by the first letter OF the christian and
middle names upon the page OF the index CORES
ponding to the surname, the page number of the
account ia entered. That is to say, the desired
name may be easily found by turning to the al
phabetcally arranged page of the last name,
then tracing the vertical column until the initial
letter OF the first name is found, when the trac-
ing is continued in the horizontal alphabet to
the fret letter of the middle name, and there in
a small square will be found the desired page.
No names are entered in the index, and they APP
pear only at the head of the account in its prop
er place. In cases Of more than one name with
with the same alphabetical letters the last
letter of the last name is added after the figures
which denote the page OF the account, so that
no hesitancy or mistakes need occur. A sepa-
rate column on the page, adjoining the vertical
column of initial letters, is provided for names
which have no middle letter, and IN cases of the
tions noted above are made.
We have spoken of the index above only IN its
relation to the accountant, and it will serve with
equal value the Bank the Insurance Company,
the Merchant and all others who keep accounts.
Messrs. Boughman, Thomas q Co. have been
employing the system in their books since the
first OF the year, and have frequently astonished
expert accountants with the rapdity by which
they have sought ont names. IL has been shown
to but few persons however, because the let
ters patent were only obtained a few days ago.
But there are other uses to which the index
may be put where its value is equally felt-ln
public records. Any one at all familiar wit the
process of searching forrecords and the liability
to pass over names in long columns, will see at
glance the utility of this patent. The figures
as above found will direct to the name desired,
and in cases of more than one transfer of pro-
perty, to any desired one in a way that is rapid
and easy
The system is clear, simple and accurate, and
by its systematic method saves greatly in time,
labor and expense. 1t has been tested by COM
petent accountants and in every instance has met
with their unqualified approval. The most fat
te-ing testimonies have already been made to its
utility, and when it shall come INTO general use,
az ii ultimately must do, Mr.. Thomas praises
will be sung by all book-keepers weary with
searching out and poring over accounts.
