The California Gold Discovery.

The man who discovered gold in
California in 1848 died recently and
with a commendable appreciation of
romance, he died ''broken-hearted and
poverty stricken" His death will re-
call to the 'old Forty miners" and to
all who remember the gold excitement,
one of the most romantic incidents in
history. When MARSHALL S child found
the first nugget of gold on the Pacific
slope, Missouri and Arkansas were
the only States north of Texas and
west of the Missouri river that had
been admitted into the Union, and
Texas and Iowa were under their first
State administrations. The bank of
the Missouri river was practically our
ultima thule, and the region be-
yond the Rocky Mountains was
an unknown land. The small set
Elements on the Pacific coast were
but far off colonies. The tide OF emil
grafton from the Eastern States had
already set westward, but it was ex-
tending only as the cheap agricultural
lands attracted farmers. Rapid as
the growth of the West had been
(Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky were yet
called the West) it's growth had been
prosaic. But Marshall's discovery of
gold gave it a. romantic impetus.
From every state the adventurous
went to the new Ell Dorado, and the
trans-Rocky Mountain country be-
came known, and parts of it became
as rapidly populous as the accessible
states along the Mississippi, but with
another class. In 1850 California
had more than $4,000 inhabitants,
most of whom were adventurers; and
in 1860 it had nearly 100000, which
was the most rapid increase of popu-
lation in one decade that any state
has made. People went not only
from other states of the Union, but
from other countries as well.
How much richer these discoveries
of precious metals have made US is
only partially shown by the relief they
gave the world in its need of gold and
silver; but the magnitude of this con-
tribution is itself romatic. The esti-
mate of the amount of gold and silver
produced in the United States in 1S47
was less than $S9O,OOO; in 1S4S, it
was S1O,OOO,OoO; in ls49, 1T was
$40, O,OOO,OOO; and it reached its high
est point in 1878, when the produc-
tion was estimated at more than
S96, 6,OOO,OOO; and our total produc-
ton of gold and silver since lS47, is
SO, ,O74, ,545, 900. This is little less
than the total production ofprecious
metals in Mexico from the time of
their discovry there by Europeans till

Priority of Invention.
From the Electrical Review.

From the Electrical Review.
The following are points indecisions
'on priority of invention:
The party who first reduces an in
vention to actual use is entitled to
the patent for it, although the other
party may have first conceived it, if
he did not exercise reasonable dill
gence in reducing it to practice.
II a party who first conceived q ma
chine followed up the idea diligently,
and was the first to reduce it to actu-
al practice, he is entitled to a patent
for it, although his competitors had
complete working drawings of it pre-
viously prepared, and had obtained a
patent
Whoever first reduces an invention
to practice and makes an application
OF it to use, will usually be the prior
inventor
In order to defeat patent the
courts require it to be shown that an
other not only conceived the inven-
tion in dispute before the patentee,
but was also the first to perfect and
adopt the same to practical use, or
was using reasonable diligencefor that
purpose.
TIE parties who first embodied an
invention in a machine which they
kept in operation afterward for actual
use. beside manufacturing and selling
other machines, are prima facie enti.
tied to that patent.
He is the inventor, entitled to the
protection of the patent law, who is
first to complete the invention and
publish it to the world, and not he
who confines the knowledge of it to his
client.
When an invention consists of a
combination of elements, the date
when all the elements are combined is
the date of invention.
When, one IS first to conceive an in
vention, he throws aside all evidences
ofthe conception, makes no efforts to
complete or intI oduce it to the public,
and delays making an application for
a patent for nearly four years after
another has brought it into extensive
use, he has standing as an inventor.

asked for counsel. The superinten-
dent looked grave, but simply prom
ised to make inquiries, and communi-
cate their result. The next day a
man walked into the shop, and in
inquired for Mr.. Glister. That gen.
tleman confessing his identity, the
stranger gave his name as Green of
I Scotland Yard. To him Mr. Glister
recounted the nefarious deeds of the
rural dean and his nephew, and the
acts of Inspector Roberts.
''There is no such name at Scotland
Yard, sir. It's pretty plain. He was
one Of the gang-a confederate!''
Mr.. Glister staggered as if Green had
shot him,
But why?" he asked; '.why was he
wanted? They had the goods, and
were going away with them, when he
"Ye-es," said Green, thoughtfully
"You didn't happen to leave 'em all to,
gether in the shop did you?"
Mr.. Glister confessed that he had
done so, and gave his reason.
''Have you missed anything
thing more, I mean, than the man
Roberts took away with him?"
Yes; SIX rings ana a DfOach. L
couldn't think what could have be-
come of them, Pm sure they were not
among the purchases. Here is the
note. But l see it all now"
"Well, Mr.. Glister, of course the
yard will do all that's possible. I
know the man with the scar on his
cheek, and I dare say, some of onr
men may know the other two. Well
do all we can-you may depend on
that; but I'm afraid you'll never see
your jewels again"
And indeed, he never did.

HARVEST SONG.

From the Western Christian Advocate.
The odor sweet of new-mown hay
Is waited DER the land;
Piled high, the sheaves OF golden grain,
Wait for the tresher's hand.
Wide, billowy fields of corn uplift
Their banners broad and green,
With plenty's promise craven brigh'
On each, in glittering sheen.
The leafy vine bends low with weight
OF juicy clusters fair.
Springtime's glad prophecies fulfilled
The burdened orchards bear.
Ger all the land brown-handed Toll
And patient Thrift have wrought
Day after Day, till dreams have been
To full fruition brought.
Yet not to them all praise be given,
Not all to Toll and Thrift;
"Who gives the increase" unto Him
Our grateful hearts we lift.
Who can the richly varied store
OF goodly gifts behold,
Nor say with Israel's prophet bard,
THY works, how manifold!'

SAN FRANCIsco, CAL, June l6.-The

rived yesterday with Sydney dates of May q,
and Auckland New leland, of May 26. The
Auckland papers contain accounts Of the ar
rest, on May 5, of Walter II, Lennox Max
well, alias Theodore Ceril Danguire,
charged with having murdered Charles A.
Preller, in St Louis, April ). The arrest
was made by United States Consul Gamble,
who received telegram from the Chief OF
Police ofSt Louis with instructions to that
effect. Two days later Cousul Gamble re-
ceiyed 8 telegram from the United
States Secretary Of State authorizing him
10 make the arrest. Two detectives boarded
the steamer The purser in reply to their
questions stated that there was a man
among the steerage passengers answering
Maxwell description. The man was sum
moned on deck and the FIRST question asked
him was whether he vas n physician. lie
promptly denied this, saying he was native
of France and an officer in the French
army. The detectives informed him they
had a wsrrsn. fer bis arrest and would
have to take him into custody. Maxwell
appeared to be disconnected, but recovered
his composure while the officers were hand
cutting him, coolly remsrking that the
whole matter was q mistake, which would
be quickly explained away.
On MAY ) be WAS brought into the police
court and charges against him read. The
Crown Solicitor appeared for the prosecu-
ton and Messrs Napier and Burton tor the
defense. The latter claimed that the court

ment the case was remanded to the jury,

large scots of blood on it. In reply to ques-
tions as TO how the articles not. bearing the
initials of his name had come into his pos
session, Maxwell said they had been given
20 him in San Francisco by a mau named
Robinson.
The case was then remsnded to May l6:

effort to keep the report quiet, and stating
that they have plenty of men and can get
plenty. They send out the report that
everything has been settled between them
and the strikers. But this seems not to be
true, and the evidence appears to be against
them. The brakemen sent out on camel
