Progress of 1nventions sino. tasa.

In the year 1S45 the present owners of the Scientific American newspaper commenced its publication, and soon after established bureau for the pro curing of patents for inventions at home and in foreign countries. Dur ing the year 1S45 there were only oo2 patents issued from the |. S. Patent Office, and the total issue from the establishment of the Patent Office, up to the end of that year, numbered only 4,347
 Up to the first of July this year there have been granted 405,4l3. Showing that since the commence ment of the publication of the Seien- tific American there have been issued from the U. <. Patent Office 4O2, l6o patents, and about one third more ap- plications have been made than have been granted, showing the ingenuity of our people to be phenomenal, and much greater than even the enormous number of patents issued indicates. l Probably q good many of our readers l have had business transacted through i the offices of the Scientific American, l in New York or Washington, and are l familiar with Nun & Cos mode of doing business, but those who have not will be interested in knowing something about this, the oldest paten: soliciting firm in this country, prob ably in the world
 Persons visiting the offices Of th6 Scientific Amencan, 36I Broadway, \
 Y, for the first time, will be surprised on entering the main office, to find such an extensive and elegantly equipped establishment. with it's wal nut counters, desks, and chairs to cor respond, and it's enormous safes, anc such a large number of draughtsmen
 specification writers. and clerks, al
 busy as bees, reminding one ofa bank ing or insurance office, with it's hun
 dred employees
 In conversation with one of the firm
 who had commenced the business c
 soliciting patents in connection witi
 the publication of the Scientific Amer
 ican, more than forty years ago,
 learned that his firm had made appli
 cation for patents for upward of on
 hundred thousand inventors in tn
 United States. and several thousand in different foreign countries, and ha' , filed as many cases in the Paten
 Office in a single month as there wer patents issued during the entire frs
 year of their business career. Thi , gentleman had seen the Patent otiic
 grow from a sapling to a sturdy oak
 and he modesily hinted that man
 thought the Scientific American, wit it's large circulation, had performed n mean share in stimulating invention and advancing the interests of tn Patent Office. But it is not alone tn patent soliciting that occupies the a tention of the one hundred person employed by Mum & Co.,, but larg ? number are engaged on the four put : lications issued weekly and monthl from their office, 361 Broadway, \. | , viz: The Scientific American, th Scien fife American Supplement, tn
 Export Edition of the Scientific Ame
 ican, and the Architects and Builder
 Edition of the Scientific American : The first two publications are issue P every week, and the latter two, th

The Yerdler Murder.

Gentlemen from the scene of the recent murder at Walnut Grove state that Peter Verdier w shot twice through the right e, his skull crushed in over one in the fore head and the back ofaAe head, while his throat was cut just above the thy roid cartilage, there being, also, two lesser cuts, one straight down the neck. to the right of the main cut, the other directly under the center of the main cut. Either of the shots or blows would have been fatal. There were marks of blood on the counter, as of a mans hands, the supposition being that Verdier had been knocked sdown and left, when he crawled up by grasping the counter with his bloody hands and, possibly, made his way out of the store, when he WAS followed and finished by the fleeing fiend, who is de- scribed as POO pound, smooth faced Mexican or Yaqui. AS before stated, the store bears plain evidence of a desperate struggle having taken place.
 A small coat was found on the coun- ter with blood around the collar. This coat was too small for the murderer A Mexican woman who was cook for Verdier, says the murderer was neith er Mexican nor Yaqui, but an In dian
 Judge Andrews held an inquest on the body. Jury rendered verdict in accordance with facts.
 The Mexican woman says she would know the murderer.
 Judge Andrews and District Attor- ney Ross returned from Verdiers place last evening-Courier.

TIE election for delegates to the constitution al convention went by de- fault in Pinal county, and the result fully justifies the expressed opinion of THE ENTERPRISE that the people in this county regarded the movement with disfavor, or at least extreme in difference. Our people are fully alive to the advantages of statehood, but they are willing to wait until they can enter the sisterhood Of states without millstonc of excessive tax ation about their necks. A few years more of somewhat irritating depend ency will bring about the desired con- ditions for statehood and the boon will then be better appreciated for the ad- ditional period of probation.

American lady named Miss

F. American lady named Miss C1'IAell, whose social ambitions led d open matrimonial negotiations With Prince Murat, q French epeSa- thrift of unquestfonably bad character, has experienced considerable difficulty m arriylDg at satisfactory price for ths tstle she covets. She enjoys TO- bust income and the Prince considers the settlement of ten thousand dol lars per year upon him too small a prics for the only remaining fragment of his inheritance his tile Miss Caldwell evidently realizes that she can attain nobility only through her money, and Prince Murat is equally convinced that he can obtain money through his nobility, and the affair is one of those senseless commercial transactions that bring American heiresses before the European peo- .ple only as a last resort to repair the ortnnes of titled rascals whose dissipa-
 pms have made them physical and

The term of the present in cumbent has expired and the time has arrived for him 10 lay down the off cial baton and return to private life The pretext of the necessity of his re- tention for the conviction of the rob bers of Paymaster Wham is the most flimsy subterfuge to get the rich strip pings from the public udder that can be imagined.

TIE murder of Sheriff Reynolds and Deputy Holmes of Globe, by the Apache Indian prisoners in their GUS tody adds two fresh victims to the al- ready long list of crimes perpetrated by these fends. These Indians had been accorded fair and impartial trials for their several oifenses, without the slightest feeling of cnmity or vindic- tiyeness upon the part of the civil authorities, and every privilege and benefit enjoyed by other criminals were extended them They fully req lized that their. escape was only brief and temporary release from the stern mandates of the law, and that 1t was only question of a few days or possibly weeks of undesirable liberty that would reward their success in killing these officers, and the crime can only be attributed 10 their unsuitable thirst for human blood. They will surely be captured and will pay the ful penalty of q cold-blooded and inex- cusable murder.

 THE parties sent out by the South ern Pacific Railroad company to gath CT data and material for preparing illustrated pamphlets descriptive of the arid regions, did not visit Flor ence, presumably through the lack of an invitation. It is therefore prob able that their circulars will speak of this piace merely as a point to be reached from Casa Grande station. Had our Board of Trade been organ ized it could have placed itself in com munication with these gentlemen and provided facilities bringing them here and showing them about our valley. Opportunities for the exercise of the legitimate functions of an organiza ton of this kind in the interests of the valley are constantly presenting themselves and it is only by organized effort that they can be turned to ad vantage. It is stated that the Pheniy ! Chamber of Commerce has been in strumental in doing more for the ad vancement of the Salt river valley than all other agencies combined, ant there is no doubt of the truth of the assertion. We urge the progressive people of Florence again to meet to gether and perfect an organization that is SD full of promise for the goo( of the valley.

MRs. JOHN W. MAcKAY has brought a libel suit against the Manchester Examiner, of England, for stating that she was a poor widow and a washer
 woman for Nevada miners when Mackay married her. She contends that the article suggested that she was not lady by birth or education and not accustomed to associating with persons of good position. The acquisition of unlimited wealth seems to be the only process of successfully changing the spots of the lepoard, and the poor washerwoman at the steam ing tub is unrecognizable in rich velvets and costly diamonds, and it is a crime to think otherwise. The woman that can preside with equal grace at the wash tub or a royal ban quet needs no judicial determination of her claim to the gentle virtues and quiet refnements that distinguish the real lady. They are the priceless jewels thskheaven plants within the human sotA to expand with nourish- ment or decay with neglect, and which wealth cannot buy nor thieves purloin.

FOR PURE FOOD.
The San Francisco Board of Health Notf- fy Consumers Whic h Is the Best
 Baking Powder.
San Francisco Chronicle


 The Board of Health can engage in no more laudable occupation than the examination of our food supply and the instruction of the public as to those articles 1t finds to be pure and wholesome, and which, therefore, con sumers should use.
 There are quantities ot baking DOW der in the market to use which is cer- tain detriment to the health of the consumer. They are made from alum or improperly compounded from other chemicals, so that they leave 6 strong alkaline residum in the food Many of these powders, having been pro hi itcd from sale in the east, have been collected by their manufacturers from the dealers with whom they were left on commission, and shipped to the Pacific Coast. The public knows nothing about their quality except what it reads in the newspaper adver- 1 tisements. In the effort to gain q foothold in thismarket unscru- pulous manuiacturersof these cheap ly made, low grade baking pow, ders have indulged in extrvaagant statements, both with reference to their own and other brands, claim. ing the most improbable endorsements for their goods and denouncing the brands best known and longest used upon the Pacific Coast.
 The action Of the physicians of the Board of Health, therefore, in giving the public reliable, authoritative in formation as to the brands of baking powder to be used to secure the mos economical and wholesome foodis mos valuable and timely.

 where the laboring man finds more fault with his situation. It is the right, as well as duty, of every man 10 better his condition in life whenever he can, and most men are not slow to take advantage of every opportunity that offers a change for the better. Nc less than 75 per cent of the we'll to-do men in this Territory came here comparatively poor, and have worked their way mp from very humble be ginnings. There are hundreds of ! wealthy men in this Territory to-day, who made their first stake with the pick and shovel, plainly illustrating the fact that the poor man has as much show here as the rich, and that it altogether depends upon a mans calibre as to whether he succeeds or or fails. The great trouble now is, that the poor man thinks he must live in the same style and spend as much money as the rich man, who may have labored for years foc the first few dollars he possessed, and practiced the most rigid economy, with out which no man can succeed.
