A SWEEPING PATENT LAW DECISION.
A Washington dispatch under date of
August 10th says the decision of the at
torney general regarding the prepara-
ton of patents and patent cases is re-
garded by patent office officials as of
great importance, as it will affect more
or less every manufacturing interest in
the country. 1t renders void letters is
suing to two or more persons when but
one of them is the inventor. The law
clerk of the patent office, Mr.. Pierce,
said to-day that manufacturers are often
induced to buy a patent that is ap-
parently valid, issuing under the seal
of the patent Office, without stopping to
inquire very carefully whether all the
requirements of the law have been
complied with, presuming that they
have been, or the office would not have
issued the patent. 1t chances often
times that the office has no means of
ascertainlng whether the parties were
properly joined in making the applica-
ton. Probably one-third Of all the
cases issued by the patent office, aver
Il, g.
years past, come under this head, and
manufacturers purchasing patents are
necessarily vitality interested. As a con-
sequence the decision will be fought,
and there is little doubt that test of its
validity will soon be made in the courts.
According to the provision of the patent
law, when period of two years elapses
from the time of the discovery of a
vital error in a patent it becomes public
property. As a consequence this de-
cision will work disaster to very many
inventors and their assignees. The 1e-
cords of the patent Office show that this
decision, if sustained by the courts, will
invalidate between forty and fifty thous-
and live patents. Mr. Pierce said that it
had been pretty well known to the profes-
sion that vital defect of the character
existed. The only way. however, in
which it could be fully established would
be where there was itigated case,
when the patents would be examined,
and the question of inventorship
thoroughly ventilated. So there is no
way of telling exactly what particular
patents are affected until they pass I'M
der the test by litigation.

Taking Out i'm Trade.

A day or two 81. blackberry mer-
chant from the sou l side of the river
brought in about two gallons of berries
for sale. One. of our physicians asked
the man to set price on his berries,
which he did at % cents per gallon,
cash, or so cents in trade, supposing the
doctor to be merchant. The doctor
who loves joke as we'll as anybody,
told the fellow he wodld take the berries
and pay him in trade. He invited him
to go with him to the doctor-shop, where
he cut off three or four huge blue
mass pills and with them handed his
bill, as follows:
To prescription. 80. 25c
Total ...................... 6Oc
By two gals. berries, at 3Oc. go cents
The fellow eyed the doctor as though
he thought somebody was crazy, and
he seemed uncertain who was. While
he was reading the bill, the doctor re-
marked, "Take one of these pills now,
another before supper, and the other
just before going to bed, wash them
down with castor oil, and if they don't
wake you up before breakfast, bring
me some more berries and I'll give you
another Dose"
"No, sir: I'll be = if IF do. You
may keep the berries and your blarst-
ed pills also, and if ever / trade for
any more blackberries I'll be blessed"
He started for the door in great
hurry, without waiting for his bucket,
but he was called back, and much to
his astonishment and relief, received
his thirty cents per gallon cash.-Ot-

The days of railroads were still in the fu-

Forget ana Forgive.

We bury our youth, our health and our
strength; and we only come TO grief
when we try to resuscitate the dead and
forget the chain of years that we have
forged between then and now. The long
walk, the days hunting and the nights
dance. the cold bath, and the half hours
swim, the imprudent food, and the reck-
less exposure to the sun and the rain, the
wind and the snowfall these things are
among the buried dead of ou impossi-
bilities, and we must accept them as
memories only, never again to be living
facts. And why not bury the remem-
brance of past pains, past enmities, of the
quarrel that has been verbally made up,
the offence once offered and since atoned
for? Some people never bury these things.
They say that they forgive, but they keep
their dead displeasure, as the dwarfs
kept Rosered's pretty body, with glass
window in the coffin by which they could
look in and watch her whenever they
chose. No; there is no good in that. Cof-
fins with glass windows in them are a
mistake. Let us bury the dead things of
life deep in the good honest soil, plant
flowers on them, so that the place where
they lie shall not be barren nor disfigured; /;
make of each mistake, each sad expert
ence, a means for-future good and truth
and beauty; aud go on, always on-till
we come to the end, when we ourselves
shall be among the dead and buried,
some of us remaining as beautiful remem-
brances, ever enshrined in honor and de-
light; somo of us standing out in the
backward vista, ,as but sorrowful mistakes,
like blind creatures who have missed
their way or children of sorrow, brought
up under the hard tutelage of pain, and
never suffered to escape the hand of that
| stern teacher; the cruel monitor.

luxurious society of the South. And yet,
these men and women, accustomed to ev-

lit-bottomed'' chairs, the plain beds,
the pine tables, and the rustic routine of
the spot. 1t offered them, indeed-much
more than their fine home mansions could
supply-health, high spirits, and an at
mosphere so delightfully."- cool and braeing

luxury. The tradition of these honest old
times is well preserved. The visitors
were a single family, everybody showing
everybody else. The days were spent in
hunting, riding, whist, reading, and gay
talk, the nights in sweet sleep. There was
no stiffness, or ceremony whatever. The
weeks passed in a round of enjoyment,
and so strong hold did this animal visit
to the White Sulphur take on the old
planter. class, that to have been compelled
to forego it for a single season would have
been regarded by them as real misfor-
