The Prince of Wales and the Irish.
lLOndon World,

London WOrldl
The Prince of Wales never did wiser, more
popular or more polite thing than ON Saturday
last, when he received the $50 Irish tenant
farmers, who led by Canon Bagot, having come
over for the Agricultural Show, have been
doing the sights of London under the expe-
renced guidance of Lord Powerscourt and
Captain King-Harman. Previous to their
starting Canon Bagot had telegraphed that of
all the sights in London the most grateful to
the farmers would be that of the Princess of
Wales, and at o'clock on Saturday they en-
tered the garden at Marlborough House, where
they were welcomed by their royal host and
hostess, with whom were their children and the
Duke and Duchess of Connaught. The Prince
addressed some kindly words to them; they
were duly refreshed" but as one of them re-
marked, "It is not the eating and drinking,
but the welcome that pleases u.s." They were,
indeed, thoroughly delighted and In addition
to the rounds Of cheering one enthusiast called
out, II hope we shall soon see you all in Ire
land" sentiment which was received with
shouts OF applause. My compliments to the
lady who acts as housekeeper at St ,James's
Palace. When the Irish tenant-farmers were
being shown through the state apartments one
of them said to the housekeeper, who was
kindly in attendance: 81 am afraid, nrz am
you must be alarmed at seeing so many Irish
men here" The chatelaine was quite equal to
the occasion and replied, "Not at ALL never
knew an Irishman who did not know how to
behave himself like gentleman" Honor to
whom honor is due The organizers of this re-
markable expedition were the Rev Canon
Bagot, rector Of Fontstown County Kildare,
and Mr.. James Robertson, two of the most
active members of the council of the Royal
Agricultural Society Of Ireland. About $50
men came over, representative of many differ
ent counties Sligo, Kerry, Cork,
Galway and Wicklow. They were much
struck by the show and one of them remared,
:.M ali asleep in Irelandl We had
no idea OF this kind Of thing" Lord Powers
court, Captain King-Harman, Mr.. Hugh Law
and other gentlemen, devoted much valuable
time to the services of their tenant friends.

THE GREAT PAIN RELIEVING and
curative remedies have already worked their
way into every hamlet where the English Ian
| guage is spoken That the reputation of and
| demand for such remedies as these are
should extend and increase, could not be other
wise. THERE is NO PAIN, soreness or
swelling which they will not alleviate. There
are but exceptional cases of constitutional
| humors and distorted joints, which they do not
cure, and none they will not benefit. They
are SOOTHING, absorbing and emollient
They EXTRACT THE PAIN from and heal
burns and scalds without scars. For RHEU-
MATIC AFFECTIONS, pains in the back,
stiff joints, wounds strains and eruptions, they
act with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. These
preparations are of two kinds, the FAMILY
and the ANIMAL Liniments Being univer-
sally adapted to the external ailments of man
and beast, the name of the HALF-HORSE
and HALF-MAN Centaurs was naturally at
tached to them. They perform cures never be-
fore effected by any remedy. Undoubtedly
more of them are sold than of all other lmi-
ments, ointments, oils, embrocations, plasters
and so-called pain-killers combined.
The WHITE Centaur Liniment cures Rheu-
matism, Sciatica, Lumbago and Tic doul-

many a hard-fought field, and would spurn
with disgust such an eulogist.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, with no desire to
discuss the age, qualification or the question
OF the exact amount of political expert
enoe requisite for candidacy for the guberna-
torial chair in Maine, 1 may be pardoned for
saying that, having served in the First Maine
Cavalry from the day of its organization to the
date of its final muster out of service, / feel
that | have quite an equal right with one who,
II he were really euer a member of the regi-
ment, at the best joined it only in September
or October '64, to speak for my comrades, and
Indignantly protest againt using the prestige
OF the name OF the regiment to decry any man
whatever, to attempt to belittle his reputation,
or detract from his good name whether he
wore the epaulettes of commissioned officer,
the chevrons of the sergeant or corporal, OF the
simple uniform of the private soldier.
1t is new and strange doctrine to lay down
in these times, that wearing the uniform of a
private is to debar o man from future promo
ton, and L respectfully call the attention of my
friend to the fact that when the First Maine
Cavalry returned to Maine Ia August, 65,
more than four-fifths of its line officers were
promotions from the ranks and L hazard moth
ing in saying that no regiment from this or any
other State, taken all in all, was better Off
cered than was ours. JOHN d. MYRIcK

What Makes an American Patent
SO Valuable.

The distinctive feature of the American pa-
tent system is embodied in statute 4SS6, which
provides that "any person who has invented or
discovered any new and useful art, machine,
manufacture or composition of any matter, or
any new and useful improvement thereof not
known or used by others in this country, and
not patented or described in any printed publi-
cation in this or any foreign country before
his invention or discovery thereof may, upon
the payment Of fees, etc. obtain patent there
for In order to comply with the requirements
of this law, it is necessary, in theory, at least,
that in connection with every application for
patent right an examination of the plans of
all previously-granted patents in this and 9TH
or countries should be made, in order to deter
mine whether the ideas embodied in the new
application are really novel; Not only this,
but in theory, and to a great extent in practice,
must the examiner search the scientific publi-
cations of this and other lands to find out
whether the principles upon which the device
in hand is based have ever been described in
them; such description rendering the deyico
unpatentable. To the thoroughness with which
this work of examination has generally been
performed is due the marketability of an
A%efican "a ne patent right quality possessed on
4
The American patent is accepted as prims IA
Gle, and, in the vast majority of the cases, as
conclusive evidence Of the novelty of the de-
vice described and the ownership of the person
named in it. In the English system no such
examination is made, and cases Of interference
are matters which the courts are called upon
to settle. The rapid development Of the art of
photo-lithography has rendered it independent
OF the slow hand-method of copying, and makes
1t possible at very trifling expense to place in
the hands Of every examiner, and every one
else who requires it, an accurate copy Of the
original plans upon which every one Of par
ticular class of patents has been granted Two
years ago the English Government, with ex-
traordinary liberality, gave outright to the
American Patent Office a full duplicate set Of
the plans of all patents ever granted in that
country, and these, divided into classes and
sub-classeS, being placed in the hands of the
examiners in the respective classes, very mate.

animation ashington Letter.
