Burning of the Patent Office at Wash

WAsaINareB,,S Sept. 95. =
Thirty thousand models were destroyed
by fire in the Patent Office. The value
of the property lost, in the abstract, will
aggregate 81, 500, 900, but as large class
of the models cannot or will not be re-
placed the actual loss will probably not
reach over 100000 or 100000. The
Patent Office has to its credit with the
Treasury, over and above its earnings, a
sum sufficient to meet this expenditure,
but it cannot be used without an appro-
priation by Congress. r.l : ..

WASHINGTON, Sept. u.
The Commissioner of Patents makes
the following official announcement re-
garding the late fire: "Apart from the
damage done to the building the Pc
cuniary loss occasioned by the fire is not
very great. No files of pending appli-
cations for patents or of rejected appli-
cations were lost or damaged, and no
original drawings, except in very few
cases, were destroyed. Those drawings
destroyed were only of one Issue, Sept.
4, 1877, and of these photo-lithograph
copies had been made, SO that no incon-
venience will arise from their destruction.
A considerable quantity of photo-litho-
graph copies were burned, but of these
in no case were all the copies burned of
one patent, part of the copies have
been preserved by storage in another
room of the building, which was unin
jured, There will be no interruption OF
the business of the office, The exami-
nation of applications will go on as usual,
and patents will be issued without delay

House bill No. 303, which passed the
Legislature on the last day OF the ses-
sion, and which provides for the recep-
ton by the city Of various kinds Of GER
tificates of its indebtedness In payment
Of taxes for past years, appears to US to
be an entirely proper measure. The
only objection which we have heard
raised against 1t is founded upon the
assumption that 1t enables delinquent
taxpayers to discharge their obligations
to the city on easy terms by purchasing
these certificates at low rates. But
there Is neither sense nor merit in
this argument, for the simple rea-
son that it is based upon
mere assumption, namely, that the hold
ers of the city's floating debt will rush
into the market to unload their certifi-
Gates. or whatever they may be called,
at great sacrifice to themselves in
order to benefit delinquent taxpayers.
Suppose these creditors Of the city
should, on the contrary, determine to
hold on to their certificates until the
demand for them raises their mar
ket value to par, or nearly SO,
what will become Of this argu-
ment against the bill? We remem-
ber having been told in the past
that many property holders and others
were compelled to accept from their
debtors in payment for rent, supplies,
ETC., these evidences Of the city's bad
faith towards It's employees, and we do
not understand why they should not be
allowed to recover something like fair
equivalent for what they gave for them.
On the other hand, we cannot see upon
what principle Of morality or law the
city can object to receiving in payment Of
back taxes the evidences Of its outstand
ing debt to its own employees for the
same period. We do not like to see this
city involved in acts Of bad faith and
Reputation, and he is no good citizen
who will countenance any measure
tending to throw discredit upon it's
name or to impeach its good faith In it's
dealings with its honest creditors.

GENERAL OGDEN's ORDER.

Major Gen. Ogden, commanding the
Louisiana State Militia, this morning
publishes general order recognizing
the unseIfish and gallant services OF the
citizen soldiery during the eventful and
exciting hundred days that followed the
Ninth of January. In the name Of all
the people Of the State OF Louisiana
Gen. Ogden thanks these noble men;
and we know that all the people of
Louisiana will respond from the very
depths of their grateful hearts. The
Fourteenth OF September and the Ninth
of January will, in all coming years, be
days dear to the hearts Of our people
and identified with the honor and
chivalry Of our State, which shone 80
brightly amid the darkness Of the sad
and shameful period embraced in the
last decade.
And what those days are to US, the
generous and unselfish heroism of the
men to whom Gen. Ogden's ringing
order is addressed made them. And
more; the organization which they
constitute has been the power, resolute.
armed and undaunted, which, through
all the plots and counterplots for the
emancipation Of this State upon the one
hand and It's continued enslavement
upon the other. commanded for our
cause respectful hearing and gave to
our demands O weight which all the
policies, intrigues and concessions of
politicians could not have impaired to
them and therefore again we say, that to
General Order No. Is every citizen of the
State and every woman Of Louisiana
responds with pride and gladness.
And to the honored citizen and gallant
soldier who commands these men and
issues this order. what tribute too fiat
tering can our people pay? Unselfish
and courageous devotion to the right
and to the cause Of country have found
their highest expression in his charac-
ter, and all the people Of our State
recognize in Gen. Fred. N. Ogden "the
Rose of Chivalry."

KEEPING PoULTY IN LARGE NUMBERS
Keeping poultry, as business to support
family, has often been tried in the United
States and England, but with very poor
success. The difficulty seems to be that
the fowls, when kept in large numbers, are
much more subject to diseases, and to
become infected with vermin. That is the
experience of all persons who have kept
fowls extensively. Besides these Difficult
ties, large number of fowls cannot be
made to extend their foraging over a suffi-
GENTLY extended surface of land, 20 or 80
rods from their house being about as far as
they can be made to roam; and 1000, or
more, would soon exhaust their locality of
all the bugs and worms upon it, eat every
spear of grass, and begin to sicken and fall
off in laying eggs. If fowls could be kept
in lots of about 100 each, 40 rods apart,
there might be enough kept on farm to
support the owner, as the profit would
average about one dollar per fowl.

in a comfortable chair, he appeared to
listen with extraordinary attention to the
orator of the occasion, and that gentleman,
very much fattered, judged it wise to em-
broider his discourse with an excessively
pompous and diffuse. eulogy of his imperial
auditor. The rest Of the audience thought
it only polite to applaud his remarks, and
Immediately made great noise. Dom Pc

sound nap, imagined that this applause
was addressed to the scientific opinions ot
the lecturer, and instantly began to claI

air. Tableaul
