among sentimenta!ists, was kept in
the back ground, and the men who
wore it were kept in the front by the
Republicans as the life long enemies
of "protection." The solid South" Is
undoubtedly the weak spot-although
apparently the strongest point in the
Democratic party. 1t is .sure to solid
ify the North which is immensely the
stronger in both money and votes.
While this state of parties remains the
Democrats can only hope for occasional
transient national successes. Indeed it
is question whether the party in its
present organization can survive this
last defeat. 1t looks like Bonapart's
return from Elba to Waterloo. There
are momentous questions pressing to
the front, compared to which in ma
lional Importance the tariff is the mer-
est bagatelle. In fact it is and ever
must remain Unstable as the mercury,
and this generation cannot be bam-
boozled with it again.

The Publishing and Patent Offices OF
The Scientific American.

| Perhaps some OF our readers have Wis
| tied the extensive offices of the Scien.
| title American, at 36l Broadway. New
| York, but many have not, and 10 such
| the following account may be Of inter.
| est. A correspondent who recently
had this pleasure informs us that he
was greatly surprised at the magni-
tude of the establishment. IL suggest
ed to his mind an enormous insurance
company or banking house. At the
main office, which is principally devot-
ed to the patent misunderstanding as
it does SO important part of the
establishment-may be seen the mem
bers of the firm and their able corps
of examiners. Ready access to the
principals is afforded to every one; and
here may be seen inventors ron all
parts of the country showing their
models and drawings, and explaining
their inventions. The models left nv
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 exper-
fenced mechanics, electricians, or en-.
engineers, some of them having been
connected with the U 5. Patent Office.
Most of the correspondence is carried
on by type writers, and this neces-
aitates separate department, where
number OF experienced female type
writers and stenographers are con-
stantly employed. The dark room,
where The photographs of the patent
drawings ars copied, and where the
photographs for the architectural de.
partment are developed, Is also on
this floor. On the floor above NAV be
found the editorial rooms, compost
tors 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 draughtmen at
work preparing the plans and general
designs for the Architect and Builder
edition of the Scientific American,
which is published monthly, and has
attained widespread circulation.
The printing of the papers is carried
ON in separate building. At the en-
trance of the main office, which alone
occupies floor space of 50 by l65 feet,
may be seen one of Prof. Diapers re-
markable recording barometers, with
which instrument complete record
is kept of the atmospheric changes.
This barometer was built specially fOl
the Scientific American; and it is re.
markably fine and sensitive as well as
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 en-
ployed by Mum & Co. on their several
publications and in their extensive
patent departments.
