The SCRAP BooK.-Every one who
takes newspaper which he in the least
appreciates, will often regret to see any
number which contains some interest
ing and important articles, thrown
aside for waste paper. A good way to
preserve these is by the use Of scrap
book. One who has never been accus-
toned thus to preserve short articles,
can hardly realize the pleasure it at
fords to sit down and turn over the
pleasant, familiar pages. Here piece
of poetry meets the eye, which you
would have long since lost had it not
been for your scrap book. There is q
witty apecdote-it does you good to
laugh over it yet, although it may be
for the twentieth time. Next is val,
liable recipe you had almost forgotten,
and which you found just in time to
avoid so much perplexity. There is a
sweet little story, the memory of which
has cheered and encouraged you when
almost ready to despair under the pres
sure of life's cares. Indeed, you can
hardly take up single paper without
reperusiug. Then hoard with care the
precious gems, and see at the end of
the year what rich treasure you will
have accumulated.

Latest from MIR. Tilden


A reporter Of the New York Herald
publishes an interview with Hon. Sam
uel J. Tilden, from which the follow
ing is extracted:
"Do you purpose prosecuting your
right to the Presidential chair Z"
Certainly l do" answered Mr.. Til
den, spiritedly. 1.-THE country knows
that 1 was legally elected President,
and this American people is too intel
ligent to forget that one glaring and
paramount fact. On that fact the very
foundations OF the Republic rests. Ii
the voice of nation be not realized in
the serious question of electing its SUI
preme ruler, then you may calculate
on bitterness of feeling that will not be
assuaged until the wrong is righted.
The people who supported me feel to-.
day that their votes were given in vain.
They feel that they might as we'll have
cast their suffrages for dummy. and
they number so large portion OF the
population of the whole country that
it is an unwise experiment to trifle with
their rights. As far as I am concerned,
it is of little consequence, but | tell you
one of the gravest principles in repre-;
sentative government is involved, and
if the people do not see to it the matter
will be subject Of deep regret to
coming generations"
A PARTY GOING TO PIECES.
What do pou think Of the action of
the Senate in the case of the Southern
Senators?"
well, as l said before, the Admin
istration and the Republican party are
going to pieces. Mr.. Hayes has no
color and the Republican party has no
policy"
"You appear, Governor, to feel a dis
trust of the Southern support of Mr..
Hayes?"
"Humbug," responded the Governor
sententiousIy: you can't mix oil and
water"

THE PATENT OFFICE F1RE-sAvING TIE
MODELs-sETTINa THINGS TO RIGHTS.
WARRINGTON, Sept. 25.-A large force Of
men are at work in the two burned wings
of the Patent Office to- day picking out
models that were not entirely destroyed.
Many of these models are in comparatively
good condition, inasmuch as they were
mainly composed of iron which escaped
melting by the heat. Another large force
Is at work restoring to their proper plAces
records and books which were removed yes
terday.
In the unburnt portions of the Patent
Office employees are at work replacing
models in their positions. Several of the
bureaus are attending to regular work as
heretofore. There are several dremen on
the roof of the building, in case any fire
should still be under the roof. All the fine
fresco.work In the Patent Office room has
been damaged by water.
PROSPECTS OF EXTENDING AMERICAN
TRADE.
In response to the trade circular recently
transmitted from the Department of State
to our consular officers, an interesting re.
port on the prospects for an extension Of
American trade in eastern and central Ger
many has been received from the United
States Consul General 1t Frankfort on the
Main.
After fully reviewing the obstacles to this
increase, such as the attachment of the
German people to fixed customs, and their
disinclination to accept innovations which
imply change of habits, and the manner
of doing things which have come down
from generation to generation, the Consul
General feels assured that all such obsta-
cles will readily yield to the great law OF
profit and pecuniary interest which governs
commerce, and that is peculiarly favorable
for the introduction and sale Of American
productions in that part Of Germany the ex-
listing plethorr of coin, the languishing state
of skilled production and the low rates of
duty prevailing specially invites our pro"
ducers and manufacturers to find profts-
BILE market there.
The best and surest way to command this
extension of trade, in the opinion of the
Consul General, would be by the establish-
ment of q central depot at Frankfort, where
American goods and manufactures would
be constantly on exhibition; this permanent
depot or exhibition to be attended by re-
sponsible agents, men Of strict integrity
and financial responsibility, to solicit sales
and carry out all the rules necessary to the
full success Of any active legitimate enter,
prise.
A compliance with these rules, and an
accommodating spirit towards the peculiar
The Morning herald., 1877-09-26

tiles Of the people, and their requirements,
cannot but lead to large and profitable in-
crease In American trade with that import
ant part Of the German Empire comprised
within tho Consul General of Frankfort on
the Main.
The very friendly feeling which prevails
among the people toward the United States
will greatly facilitate all commercial rela-
tions between the two nations.
