The United States surpasses all other coun-
tries In the variety and number Of its inven-
tons. While in 1s4S there had been only 60OO
patents issued from the office In Washington,
and at the same time England had issued
10000, the figures are not only reversed now,
but so increased as to show tie wonderful in
ventlve faculty Of the age. The records show
that the total number Of patents issued at
Washington is 2ls,OOo England has issued
$4,000, France $4,000, and Germany and Bel
Oium 40 00O. |@ %@9@

The Memphians are apparently opposed tC
any strict or severe rules. They oppose bit
terly the curfew regulations passed by the
State Board of Health Mt Nashville, which
prohibits the citizens OF Memphis from leav
ing their houses between the hours OF 8 p. m
and 4 a, m, and will probably force u repea
of this rule. The people OF Chelsea, thu
Northern suburb of Memphis, which has, v
to this time, escaped the fever, have ben
fighting bitterly against the quarantine when
the board Of health established for their bne-
fit. 1t was thought that by statt0ing
u number of guards along tho bayou Rhlch
| separates Memphis from Chelsea, 40 re-
fusing any persons permission to Ass pc
tween the two, towns that the overnight DC
kept out Of the latter town. 1t wald seem
that the Chelseans ought to have hen pleased
with this quarantine, which was artalnlV 1or
their benefit. Instead OF this hing 80, they
rebclled and resorted to all abterfuges IN
order to visit the infected district, walking
far out In the country to avid the guards
In view of the impossibiliyof carrying out
this quarantine against the will OF the Chel-
seams, 1t was abandoned yesterday, and Chel-
sea will now nave a chance afforded it of get
ting the fever.
The Memphians have shown themselves
very unwilling to submit TO any rules or reg
u%lationg for their own benefit and protection.
Last summer the board OF health and city an-
thorities of Memphis endeavored to have the
city putin proper condition. Great attention
was paid to the vRnlts, and notices served or
all citizens whose premises were not in proper
condition. Instead of complying with these
orders, many citizens resorted to the courts
to defeat them and were able to fight off for
many days and weeks. Something Of the ep-
idemic this year is doubtless due to this OBJ
stinacy and opposition to the rules intended
for the public welfare.

DYING PATIENT RECEIVERS THROUGH THE
lNTERP0sITI0N OF HUMBLE GERMAN
Some weeks ago Dr.. c., very reputable
and widely-knOWn physician, living on c.
street, was called to attend very complicated
case Of rheumatism. Upon arriving at the
mouse he found a man, about forty years of age,
lying in q prostrated and serious condition, with
his whole frame dangerously affected with the
painful disease. He prescribed for the patient,
but the man continued to grow worse, and on
Sunday evening he was found to be in a very
alarming condition. The knees and elbows and
larger joints were greatly infamed, and could
not be moved. 1t was only with extreme diff
Guilty that the patient could be turned in bed,
with the ald OF three four persons. The weight
OF the clothing WassO oppressive that means had
to be adopted to keep itfrom the patients body
The doctor saw that his assistance would be Of
no avail, and left the house, the members of the
family following him to the door, weeping, At
TINS critical hour, a neighbOr, poor and hum
Bile German shoemaker, appeared to the grief
smitten ones as saving angel. He had heard
OF the despair otthe family, and now asked them
totry his remedy and accordingly brought forth

Will catch at straWs, so the poor wife applied
this remedy; she had no hope, but would try
anything, as matter of duty. The first applf-
cation eased the patient very much; after q few
hours they used 1t again, and, wonder of won
deFs, the pain vanished entirely! Every subso-
quent application improved the sufferer, and in
two days he was well and out. When the doc.
tor called few days after, he was indeed sur

sOnYille,
Last Thursday night, according to Prof. Tlce,
there was to be meteOric shower, and itcame to
pass that eleven Of the astronomical yOungm0n Of
JeHersonville stayed up to see il something was
really going to "dTap." 1t was a cloudless night
and the myriads Of stars shOne out in all their
splendor. After working with their instru.
ments for some time the astronomers, feeling
that something for the "inner man" would not
be Objectionable, repaired to the provision store
OF Grow Il Co. and, after listening to a neat lit
tie speech on science from the leader of the astro
nomical body, they were invited to break bread
with him and eat, and it came to pass that they
did eat, drink and be merry. And it came to
pass, at the twelfth hour Of the evening, whilst
the body were silently waiting for the great
phenomena to occur, that they were disturbed
and forced to disband and go to their respective
houses. And by virtue Of the meeting being dis
turbed the falling Of the stars was postponed for
o future date. Now the Professors were indig-
nant considering the way they had been treated,
whilst watching for a rhetorical showert that in
the historical period of our existence, never
was known to occur but once before, and were
more indignant when they were arrested and
brought before the "Lcrd Mayor" and charged
with being "False Prophets" Now the pro-
fessors, when they heard the charge were much
afraid, and began to ask one another, "is it
possible that we are to be tried by the laws and
customs Of Antedlluvan timesp Are we to be
dealt with as were the prophets of ye olden
timesw mop saysthe stentorian voice Of one
called Joseph, "No sir may itpease the court,
these young men have done nothing to merit the |
displeasure Of the populace,a ,aud they shall never
answer guilty to the charge as long as water
flows and grass grows; and ask your Honor
to give the young astronomers their freedom"
which he did do, to the dissatisfaction of the
prosecution, THOMAS BOUNCE.

EDS. HERALD:
Were you ever at a surprise party? Tmean
one OF those spontaneous gatherings of the old
and young of both sexes to pay their tribute of
respect to the old folks-One Of the best and
most commendable traits in human nature.
Among the heathen Chinese it is common GUS
tom, and rather suspect that our missionaries
70 emma, receiving new lesson in the humani-
YES OF me among that people, intimated to their
friends at home that it was good thing-a very
good thlng--th gladsOme salutation Of aged
parents by their neighbOrs, their children and
grandchildren on their natal days; and from the
occasional Jottings in your paper | find that
Christian people are apt scholars, and that such
gatherings occur often in our own county. On
the llth Of November, 1870, there was such q
meeting at Joel Woods, In the northern part OF
Jefferson township, Fayette county, Ohio, who
was sixty-eight years old on that day; and a
happier, gladder company you seldom meet
with whether man Is immortal or not, judg-
ing from the number Of grandchildren who
saluted the old folks on that day the "race" OF
the Woods Is certainly immortal. The company
numbered about one hundred friends from
Greene, Madison and Fayette counties, While
the table was being spread Eyes, and such
table-go0d enough for a Presldent) the children
gamboled and the old folks chatted with merry
glee0f the incidents OF the past, while the lads
and lasses, taking items, jocularly whispering
that their own lives were only another edition
of the old volume of humanity, Whisked away
to join their merry companions; and the old
felt good over 1t, In due time the bell rang for
dinner. When all was ready was pleased to
notice quiet calm pervade the assembly, and
a brothers voice invoked the blessing OF the
good Father on all, reminding the company Of
the command issued from Sinai OF old, to ''hOnor
thy father and mother, that thy days may be
long in the land" The friends parted, all feel
ing better, and no doubt inwardly saying, as
did, 81 hope the telegraph or telephone or some-
body will remind me of his next birthday
