The centennial of the patent office,
which is to be celebrated in Washington
on the 9Th of April, is to be a unique
affair. 1t will be both civil and mill
tary in its character, ana the addresses
will almost have the nature of a popu-
lar congress of inventors during the
three days which will be devoted to the
centenary. Representative men from
all parts of the country will take part in
these exercises, and the occasion prom
ises to be brilliant and special in its fea-
lures. 1t will be a happy result of the
celebration if it shall lead to the better
guarding of the patent system, so that
the rights of inventors shall be faith
fully maintained and the usefulness of
the patent system shall not be impaired.
To many it seems as if the patent Office
were simply repository of the ideas of
these cranks I; and yet many of the ideas
of these so called cranks have been de-
veloped into some of the most useful
inventions which the country has
known.

he smiled back at a young woman who
winked at him. He was not quite salts,

to see if she meant business, when she
duplicated the wink, and then he gave
out an unrestrained smile extending
clear across his countenance, whereupon
a man and woman ran out and mashed
the masher. He had merely adopted the

The young Duke of Orleans, the hope
of the French monarchy, and the hero
of the pigeon pies and prisons of
Charities, has just destroyed all the
hopes that were entertained in the
bosom of his family of affecting a
matrimonial alliance" for him either
in Russia or Austria, by rendering him
self absolutely impossible both at St
Petersburg and at Vienna. At St
Petersburg, face to face with the czar,
he passed whole evening at the opera
making himself noisily conspicuous by
throwing bouquets to a lady on the
stage. He wound up by asking an
audience of the emperor, letting him
know at the same time that he was in
st Petersburg in defiance of his fathers
orders. To this the czar replied by re-
fusing the audience, and signifying at
the same time that he must quit Russian
territory, :.''since he found himself
there in defiance of his fathers orders. +"
At Vienna he showed himself at the
opera openly in front box with an OBJ
jectionable companion. This provoked
a manifestation on the part of society"
which rose and left the house in body.

THE CONGO TREATY.

Should Not Rafffy II.

WILMINGTON CRY. June IA number of in
0uiries have been received at the state depart
ment from philanthropie organizations and in
dfviduais a. 10 the failure of the United States
70 signify its adherence to the Congo treaty final
ratification OF which must be exchanged before
the end Of the month. This treaty is an agree
ment to suppress the slave trade and the sale OF
breech-ioading firearms and intoxicants in the
Congo district OF Equatorial Africa. and nearly
Ill OF the great powers have accepted il.
To the inquiries the state department replied
That the subject was stili pending in the United
States Senate and the department does not feel
~ liberty to discuss the matter generally, but it
r. proper 70 say, as result Of recent correspond
ence, that IL is not probable the treaty will 20
into effect at the appointed time In respect to all
OF the signatures except the United States, and
It will be left open to this government TO give its
adhesion hereafter. The opponents OF the
treaty In the last session OF congress took their
stand upon several propositions. One was that
approval of the treaty by the United States would
carry with IL recognition of certain French
claims 10 large part OF Liberia, which recent
acts show Ia now being actively pushed. AS that
country In regarded as one of our wards, we
could not permit such aggression. II is also
urged that We could not, consistently with the
Monroe doctrine. undertake TO join in a plan of
dictation respecting the affairs of another con-
ttrent, and again. IL would be unwise for the
United States to give recognition 10 the present
rather broad claims of European nations TO the
best portions of Africa, which are tacitly recor.
nixed by the treaty.
