A Sad Case

young lady of this city lately invented a
table for use in Pullman cars She applied for
patent and her only fear was that some one
might have iorestalled her by some invention
of their own sufficiently resembling hers to
make her invention useless. While awaiting
results Mr.. Tucker, of the Maine Central and
Eastern roads, who had seen the table, was SO
impressed that he expressed willingness to get
1t introduced on his roads if she was success
fnl. The young lady fell sick with typhoid
fever, and on Saturday, her birthday, died.
Just as she expired the looked-for patent ar
rived, alasi too late to be of any use to her.
Perhaps it was better that the affair should
have turned out SO, but the world which had
been hard to her, the patent would have
changed, to smiling happy world while she
was young and able to enjoy it.

. An Independent Yankee.

Yesterdays Boston Globe tells the following
story about former resident of Portland:
A gentleman of Portland tells rather an
amusing story of one Of our citizens who has
now gone over to the majority" but who
was about 1861 a decidedly rough but yerv
honest man, and withal very earnest Repub-
lican. He was well along in life, but was anx-
ious to serve his country in her hour of trial.
and calling to mind the fact that he knew
great deal about horses, he went to Washing
ton and in some way managed to be appointed
an inspector of horses, and proved very use
fnl officer. He failed, however, to take kind
u to ''red tape" and at last walked into the
War Department and remarked to one of the
clerks, at the same time throwing down his
commission: "Just you tell old Stanton and
Abe Lincoln that [ guess I've had about
enough OF this id nonsense; and young
man, you tell old Stanton and Abe Lincoln
that I've gone, /" and out he walked, and with
out further formality took the next train for
home, and was promptly ordered to go back,
the order being sent through an official, who
10 break it more gently to the old man, told
him that Secretary Stanton wanted to see him
in Washington. Drawing himself up and TAX
ing big chew of tobacco, the old fellow re-
piled: "Mr Marshal, you write to Secretary
Stanton and tell him it isn't any further from
Washington to Portland than it is from Port
land TO Washington, and that if he wants to
see me he can come here" The message, it is
needless to say, was not sent, but the "inspect-
or" was at least induced to hand IN his resig-
nation in the regular way, and it was accepted.
