History Repeats Itself.


The denUnciation of lecherous bond
holders and all hard money men is not a
new thing under the sun. A hundred years
ago, when the old Centennial money began
to depreciate in value, every effort was
made to bolster it up. Attempts we're
made to drive hard money out of, f,,circulation
and those who refused the paper were de-
Donnced in unmeasured terms. The rag
money men even went SO far as to punish
men who thus refused. A letter in the
Philadelphia Pocket, 100 years ago this very
summer, gives the following account of the
way in which one Of the gold bugs was
treated in Albany
s Last week, two transgressors who sold
rum for more than the regulated price, were
publicly cried through the city, by order of
the committee, as having incurred the just
indignation of the people. The inhabitants
ordered them Immediately to appear before
them, being met at the market. place;
where, by falling upon their kneesson a
scafold, they acknowledged themselves
guilty, and promised to stand By and assist
the orders of the committee; upon which
they were discharged. Hard money Is not

Important Legal Decision.

Attorney General Deven's decision that
letters-patent are void when issued to two
or more persons, of whom only one is the
real inventor, will create widespread anxi
ETY. and CONSERVATION throughout the coun-
try for, if not reversed by the courts, it
will invalidate between 10000 and $4,000
patents now in force, and thereby intiict
serious damage, if not absolute financial
ruin, on the holders. To properly under
stand the scope and bearings of the Attor-
ney-G Generals ruling, it is necessary to
know that at least one third Of our most
valuable and popular inventions emanate
from the brains of struggling mechanics
and others who do not possess the funds
requisite to construct working model,
pay fees and secure patent. The course
usually pursued by men thus situated is
to purchase the cooperation of some mon
eyed acquaintance who supplies the de-
sired amount of ready cash, and, as secu-
rity for his loan is represented on the face
of the patent as being part inventor OF the
device or article. In order to do this, the
persoti VIE furnishes the money must
qualify that he is one of the inventors, thus
clearly committing perjury under technl-
cal construction of the law. It is estimated
at the Patent Office that fully 100 cases
weekly for years past come under this head
ALI of which are now pronounced void
by the legal adviser of the Government.

Cheering Indications.


A few days since Detroit wife called at
the Office of prominent physician to con-
suit him re egarding her husbands state of
health, an being invited to explain the
points, she said
"Well, he eats enough, and doesn't shirk
work but he doesn't seem to have any
ambition to go anywhere. He hasn't been
to church for year, WON'T even go to the
door of an evening when a brass band. is
playing, and he seems to have fallen into
sort of lethargy and dependency. think
he will sometime go crazy over his melan-
choly."
The doctor agreed to look into his case III
a day or two, and when he finally called at
the house he was met by the wife, whose
ccuntenance betrayed perfect satisfaction.
"Is there any change?" queried the ply
sician.
"Oh! yes--a great change ?'' she re-
piled. ga friend came along last night
and gave Obediah a ticket to the negro
minstrels, and he was so anxious to go that
he hardly ate mouthful of supper. /
think the indications are che ering, doctor,

Saved by Whisky.
Virginia Chronicle.


The most extraordinary instance of pluck
and endurance, combined with miracu
lous escape from horrible death by suffo-
cation or starvation, recently transpired at
Grizzly Flat, naer Iowa Hill, Placer county.
California. An old man, known as Grizzly
Brown, while at work in his mine, was
overwhelmed and buried by cave of the
mine. He was tightly shut in seventy-ffve
yards from daylight, with scarcely a hope
that be would be missed and search made,
as his mine was quite distance from any
human habitation, with not a mouthful of
food and only half bottle of whisky for
drink, and no person or thing from which
to look for assistance save his pick and
shovel, which, fortunately as it proved for
him, were buried with him. He began the
almost hopeless task of digging himself
out. Fortunately the earth proved soft and
easy to work in, and finally, after having
been entombsd for three days, with nothing
to sustain life but the friendly bottle of
whisky, he reached the surface, completely
exhausted from his long fast, but with
strength enough remaining to reach a place
where he could get nourishment. Score
one for whisky.

Literary Men in Politics.

EXAMPLES OF THE PROMINENCE AND IN
FLUENcE OF "THE LITERARY TELLER "
IN ENGLAND.
Thirty or forty years ago it was one of
the creeds of British statesmen that authors
of books were unfit for political employ
ment, and the blunders of Theodore Hook
at Mauritius and Tommy Moore at Ber-
muda gave some color to the absurd notion.
But since that time common sense has
been allowed some sway, and the result has
been of considerable advantage to the
State. | could name many men who, after
career of letters, have proved themselves
very capable in positions of public response
bility. Gilbert A. Beckett, of the London
Punch staff, made an excellent stipendiary
London Magistrate Hannay, of the Lon
don CourGnt editor of Poe's works. was
made Consul at Barcelona; G. P. r James
and Charles Lever (''Charles O'Malley,"
etc., held Consular Offices in Italy; Mitch
ell, of the Morning Post, was Consul Gen.
eral at st. Petersburg; Albany Fonblanque,
of the Examiner, and author of three or
four works; Samuel Warren, "Ten Thous-
and Year ;" John Forster, "Life of Gold
smith and Charles Dickens; and Tom Tay-
lor, dramatic author, were all appointed to
lucrative and responsible Offices in England.
Greasy, Fifteen Decisive Battles" was
raised to the bench; Charles Phillips, "Life
of Curran," ETC., was made Insolvent Com
missioner J. W. Kaye, "Afghanstan,"
" The Sepoy War;" ETC., died Political Sec
retary at the India Office; Lord Dufferin,
" High Latitudes, 'etc., has not made bad
G Governor-General, and Lord Lytton, sOwen
Meredith" (" has been as successful as Vice.
roy of India as his father, ''Lady of Lyons,
Pelham" etc., was conspicuous in the
House of Lords and as Secretary for the
Colonies. Macaulay's literary work, equal
ly with his two good speeches, procured
him office in India and England, to say
nothing of the peerage. The names of
Boyle and Grattan are in my recollection,
one as a Consul and the other as a Colonial
Secretary, but forget where. And EN-
erson Tennent was thorough good Colo
NAL Secretary at Ceylon, of which island
he wrote an admirable account. I could
swell the list from my memory alone, but
enough has been said to upset the bigotry
of the men who would deny official capacity
to Washington Irving, Hawthorne, Bryant,
Motley, Lowell and Bayard Taylor.

A oNz-slDzD PAIR.
HOW a SMART MAN FROM OHIO SETTLED
A CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST.
From the Washington Star.


One of the characters who figured in
Washington during the last session of Con-
gress was Ike Hill, ofNeWark, Ohio. He
floated here with the army Of hungry Dem
ocrats seeking an Office when the House of
Representatives changed hands. Not get
ting on the Irregular" payroll, Ike became
a general utility man and offered his ser
vices to help keep statesmen straight, and
hunt up absentees when the full Democrat
ic vote was needed. He knew the haunt of
every lively statesman and just where to
find him night and day. When the Field
Dean contest was up in the House, Ike
kept Mr.. Springer from calling vote on
the case for nineteen days, because as Ike
says, &c / told Springer to hold off until |
was sure of my men. | knew one vote
would finish the business one way or the
other" and it SO proved, but how Ike
cheated the Republicans can best be told in
his own way:
"You see,'' says Ike, "there amt any
use of making any bones of the matter;
there were a good many Democrats who
didn't care to vote for Dean because they
didn't believe he was elected no how. Well,
after had told Springer to 60 ahead, that
we were all right, one of our men, add
Dutchman named Eicholtz, representing
New York district, started to go home. /
went for him and caught him on the steps
of the Capitol Says /: Look here, Eich-
oltz, there is to be vote on the Field Dean
case to-day we need all our votes He
wouldn't come back; he was as obstinate as
mule. Well, something had to be done,
SO I went to Van Voorhees,, Of Ohio, a good
fellow, whom knew well, and said !:
sLook here, Van, Eicholtz is sick and
wants pair on the Dean vote. At first
Van didn't want TO rair, but when told
him Eicholtz was very sick he reluctantly
did SO. / was afraid all day that the thing
would bscfound ont, and that they would
raise the devil with me for getting pair
without authority, but Dean Slipped in, and
EiohoItz don't know to this day how be
was sold OUT
