A True story with a Moral.

To the Editor of EVENING JOURNAL.
Please tell Mr.. George H. Bates of
Every Evening this little story A party
intoxicated went into a shooting gallery,
where two marksmen were trying very
difficult shot. After trying several times
and neither succeeding, our tipsy friend
said: Give me that gun. He took the
gun and without any aim hit the bulls
eye. Although pretty full he had sense
enough not to shoot again, and no amount
Of coaxing could induce him to Shoot
again.
Moral-If Every Evening had stopped
when it shot j. J. Dougherty, a grea
many people would have thought that i
was powerful; but by shooting at Mr.
Hickman it has given the thing away
and no candidate will take it into accoun
| any more. X.

The greatest interest centered in the
contest for the Levy Court But eX
Sheriff John Pyle who disputed the
nomination with the present incumbent,
Henry d. Hickman, was heavily handi-
capped by the support which Every Even
ing gave him. There is no more popular
Democrat in New Castle county than Mr..
PYLE No Democrat of this city
could poll more votes in rural
New Castle county, for the Office in ques
ton, than Mr.. Pyle Three weeks ago
his canvas was in splendid shape. Com
missioner Hickman and his lieutenants
hardly knew where the next break in
their ranks would occur, so rapid and eff
fective was Mr. Pyle in his personal can
vass. That class of voters who want TO
be on the winning side began TO flock to
him. In fatal hour Every
| Evening, too, focked. 1t had
the additional motive Of grievance
against Hickman But from that day
PYLE lost ground, and on Saturday the
fight was almost a rout Mr.. Pyle de-
served a better fate. The vote in the
twelve wards respectively for Messrs.
Hickman and Pyle was as follows:
Hickman-1s2, 222 1856, 24l 200, 140,

The three Democratic county assessors
were renominated according to the Gus
toms Of the party. Edward C. Higgins,
running in the first assessment district,
received 261 votes in the First ward, 299

in the Eighth, or a total of 1868 votes.
Francis A. McCloskey Of the Second

A New London Bridge.
[ChicapO Herald. !

Americans who have vast ed more or
less valuable time in crossing the over
crowded London bridge will be glad to
know that this bridge will soon be re-
lieVed of part of its immense traffic by
the construction of tower bridge, half a
mile from London bridge, at cost of
$4,000, OG0. 1t will be suspension bridge
with two castellated towers, each 200 feet
high, in the river, at the end of two an
chOrage towers on the river bends The
central roadway span of 800 feet width
will be in two parts. each of which will,
on a level being touched, fold upward
against its tower, leaving a clear space
200 feet wide and 135 feet high for the
passage of vessels.
Hydraulic machinery operating these
draws will be under the control of one
man, and so powerful that each of these
great iron draws, 100 feet wide and 100
feet long, will be raised and lowered with
out Earring or jerking. A foot bridge
over the central cables, and approached
by elevators in river towers, will be al
ways ready for use without regard to the
condition of the draw bridge below. The
bridge will be 200 feet long, and even
during its construction the passage of
vessels will not be stopped

PrOfi,1ess Patents.
american Machinist.l

Probably not one in ten of the patents
issued is ever heard from afterward. and
of those that do find some kind of foot,
ing, IN ABOUT nine cases out of ten it
would have been better for the inventor
and those interested with him if they had
been abandoned If those who are anx:
lous to show up what they call the monop.
oily of invention will take the trouble to
divide all they can charge in the way of
pro is to patents by the total number of
pateutees, they will not find the quotient
alarmingly large
In The Official Gazette of July 21 the
number of the last patent recorded is
322, 664. If all the profits arising from
patents were accounted for, and from this
the cost, actual and incidental, deducted
the sum left to divide would in all prob
ability be a minus quantity. A good
deal of the progress of the country is due
to invention, Notwithstanding which in
Ventors, as a class, are poorly paid, if
paid at all, which seems doubtful
