The Publishing and Patent Onices of
the Scientific American.

Perhaps some of our readers ha
visited the extensive Offices of
Scientifc american, at 36l Broadway,
New York, but many have not, and to
such the following account may be of
interest. A correspondent who recent
ly had this pleasure informs US that he
was greatly surprised at the magnitude
OF The establishment. 1t suggested to
his mind an enormous insurance com.
pany or banking house. At the main
office, which is principally devoted to
the patent misunderstanding as it does
so important part of the establish
ment-may be seen the members of the
tlrm and their able corps of examiners.
Ready access to the principals is afford
ed to every one; and here may be seen
inventors from all parts of the country
showing their models and drawings,
and explaining their inventions. The
models left by inventors form a large
and interesting collection, and are kept
in room by themselves. The large
corps OF draughtsmen who prepare the
patent drawings are for the most part
experienced mechanics, electricians, or
engineers, some of them having been
connected with the q. S. Patent Office.
Most of the correspondence is carried
on by type writers, and this necessi-
tates separate department, where a
number of experienced lady type writ
ers and stenOgraphers are constantly
employed. The dark room, where the
photographs of the patent drawings are
copied, and where the photographs for
the architectural department are devel-
oped, is also on this floor. On the floor
above may be found the editorial rooms,
compositors' and subscription room,
and the engravers' department.
The Architectural Department oc-
cupies the top floor, and here may be
seen the manager of this department,
and also number of draughtsmen at
work preparing the plans and general
designs for the architect and builder
editor of the Scientific american, which
is published monthly, and has attained
widespread circulation. The print
ing of the papers is carried on in o
separate building. At the entrance of
the main office, which alone occupies
floor space of go by 165 feet, may be
seen one of Prof Draper's remarkable
recording barometers, with which in
strument complete record is kept of
the atmospheric changes This ba-
rometer was built especially for the
Scientific american, and it is re-
markably fine and sensitive as we'll as q
very expensive instrument.
Some idea may be had of the extent
of the business done at the office of the
scientific american when we state that
over one hundred persons are employ
ed by Mum & Co. on their several pub
locations ami in their extensive patent
departments.

WHITE CAPS.
1t is Now Believed There Are None
Northarn Ohio or Naxv Work t.E

~ Is NOW DeueVeO 1uere are NONE IN
Northern Ohio or New York. ~"
CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Two weeks ago there
began to appear in the newspapers tele-
graphic reports as to the alleged doings of
organized banditta, styling themselves White
Caps, in northern Ohio. A reporter of the
Tribune was detailed to investigate the
facts, if facts there were. The truth is that
these White Cap stories are destitute Of any
foundation.
It is the tendency of stories of this kind to
become epidemic. There is no doubt that in
some parts Of Indiana and in two or three
Ohio counties bordering on the river there
exists bands of self-appointed regulators,
who choose to call themselves White Caps,
and who deal out rude variety Of justice to
horse thieves, gamblers and lewd women.
But no such organizations ere to be found in
northern Ohio, and there is no use for them.

Eight People Burpel, TO Death.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Tex, Dec. Is. A dis
patch from Cookville gives the outlines Of a
terrible affair that occurred there yesterday.
At o'clock yesterday morning the residence
Of John R. King was burned, and King, his
wife and six children were burned to death.
Il was thought that the fire was incendiary
and that some Of the victims were mur-
dered. The bodies Of the eight victims were
taken from the ruins and buried in one
grave. The family recently came from
Alabama.

Harper Improved.

COLUMBUS, O., Dec l7-Harper spent
almost the entire day Friday with his de-
voted wife, her father, Mr.. Matthews and
their nephew, Mr.. Will P. Harris. Shortly
before the party left in the afternoon, Hon.
H. s. Bundy, the father-in-law to Governor
Foraker, who was such a heavy loser by the
Fidelity, called and walked with Harper
down to the gate when the party left The
two Jagged behind the others and talked
most earnestly.
Mr.. Harpel's condition is much improved.
His mind is apparently as clear and steady
as ever, and he recalls with perfect distinct
ness every one of the ridiculous things he
said He is much ashamed of himself and
can in no wise account for the sudden and
remarkable occurrence.

twelve thousand-has one Republican

If such fact as this existed South, it

Seven thousand Republicans in Ne

 Uncle Hiram certainly displayed set ot as white and sound looking teeth as any one ever saw. The case of his brother-in. laws and his own perfect molars seemed to give some foundation for the superstl. tious belief in the healing virtues of the rattlesnake; but when we learned accident ally that Joe Moore's consumption never returned after heate the rattlesnake's s heart because he died two days later, and that Uncle Hiram's wonderful teeth were the production of peripatetic dentist who hac been through the settlements two yeari ago, we changed our mind, and concluded not to come up some nice day in Octobe either.

- THE convention at Chicago was in session six days, adjourning Monday night of this week. Three ballots were taken on Friday, two on Saturday and three on Monday, Har- rison being nominated on the 9th. One bal lot for vice president gave Levi P. Morton of New York 591, ". W. Phelps of New York 119, W. O. Bradley of Kentucky 1O3, Biance K. Bruce of Mississippi II, Walter E.
 Thomas of Texas 1. There were long recesses between ballots for the first place on the tick ct, delegates were labored with to bring about an agreement upon some one candidate. The desire to have Blaine nominated kept several states from falling in. On the final ballot California, which had been solid for Blaine, gave all it's votes but one for Harrison and Oregon, which had likewise stuck for Blaine, gave it's entire vote for Harrison. It is mo- tieeable that no intimate friend of Blaine's was in the ''Blaine movement" in the convention. All these realized that his declination to be candidate was final. The deadlock was be- cause of several candidates from nearly the same section of country. There were those who hoped that it needed Blaine to unlock 1t, but Blaine's confidential friends knew that it was of no use to hope to change his decision.
