PATENTS - Subscriber, City. The appli-
cant for patent is required first to file in
the Patent Office a petition on oath or af-
firmaton that the inventor believes himself
to be the first to frame the invention and
does not believe that it has been known or
used before, and this must be accompanied
by full description of the invention, with
drawings, and a model when it is possible
1t is not at all necessary that the Invented
article shall be sent to the Patent Office. but
If model in miniature can be made of it
that is essential. The application must be
In writing, addressed to the Commissioner
OF Patents, and If the inventor is living his
signature must accompany it, no matter
who makes the application. The descrp-
ton OF the invention must specify the man.
ner OF constructing and using it so clearly
and fully that any person familiar with the
art or science 10 which it pertains can make
and use it. These specifications must be
followed by the claim, in which the inventor
shows very plainly the part, improvement
or combination which he claims as purely
his own discovery. 1t is quite important
that the specifications should be well and
carefully prepared, as patents have often
been refused, and indeed have been declared
Invalid after granting, because of defective
specifications. If on examination of speci-
fcadons and model the invention is found to
be quite new the inventor is so informed,
and Letters patent" as the official papers
are called. are sent to him on payment of the
money fees. A fee of SIS is required on
filing the application and $40 mere when the
patent is issued. q There are o number
of patent agencies in this city, the names of
which may be obtained from the City Di-
rectory.

by their titles, appear to be taken from
events in the history of the Jews. Thus
the opening attraction will be "Sulamita, or
The Daughter of Jerusalem" which might
have for its time of action the first captiv-
lily, and for IFS motive the pathetic words OF
the psalmist: "By the rivers of Babylon,
there sat we down, yea, we wept when we
remembered Zion. We have hanged our
harps upon the willows in the midst
thereof For they that carried us away cap
tive required of us song, and they that
wasted us required OF MS mirth, saying,
sing US one of the songs of Zion How
shall we sing the Lords song in
a strange land ?" We do not say
the trend of the work is in this
direction, but it might be, to good purpose.
The opera Is in five acts, dramatic IN char
acter and IS from the pen of the composer
Goldfaden. The second in the repertoire,
to be presented on Friday night, is called

possessing excellent voices.

years ago. Many of the oid-timers may re-
member him, but to the native sons of the
Golden West, for the most part, the man

chaff of thick coming fancies has never been
thoroughly winnowed, will be an attractive
novelty. From the time Train. a Boston

San FranciScO's banking system and of
California's business methods generally, he
has managed to be more talked about, writ

slap-dash style and eccentric ideas, is at the
same time magnetic in a wonderful degree.

the eyes of their managers are closed by the
dust thus created. 1t is about time the in

well as the profit Of the actor; it is about
time for the managers TO ask themselves
the question how long will the public sta nd

Boucicault's "Old Heads and Young

Calling Them Back.

Lucy Hooper writes from Paris: There
is talk of revival of the DEMONSTRATION Of
Les Miserables at the Porte st. Martin,
with the veteran Dumaine In his original
character, that of Jean Vatican. And poor
old Dumaine, aged, corpulent aud unwieldy,
his voice broken and his gestures fettered
by an attack of paralysis, will hardly,
think, prove a very attractive spectacle to
the audience. But still worse will be the
projected celebration of the centennial an
niversary of the birth OF Meyerbeer at the
Grand Opera, which is to take place early
in September, and at which Nine Pauline
Viardot, II years of age, is to sing the role
Of FideO in one act of LIE Prophetic and

To DESTROY ANTs-Constant Reader,
City. Constant watchfulness and daily
cleaning is an absolute requisite. Red
pepper. kerosene oil, powdered alum and
sugar and other preventives and destroyers
are used with success, but these must be re-
newed daily, and the shelves and places
freauented by them must be washed with
boiling hot water. If this course is pursued
thoroughly for short time, not only will
ants, but other veIpin will disappear.
Bread and butter. covered with rough on rats
and lightly sprinkled with sugar is an excel
lent remedy, but great care has tn be taken
to prevent children or pets from eating It,
Powdered borax will answer the purpose
equally as we'll as the alum.

A Criminal Sentenced beyond the Maxi
mum Period.
William Robinson yesterday made an ap-
plication to Judge Murphy for writ of
habeas corpus He was convicted ON De-
cember s, $780, of petty larceny, second
offeDse, and sentenced by Judge Shafter to
ten-year term in San Quentin. The maxi
mum punishment allowed by law Is five
years, and it was commended that the sem
tence was void. Judge Murphy so decided,
but instead of ordering the release of the
prisoner he turned him over to the custody
OF the Sheriff that the prisoner might be
produced in Judge Hebbard's court and be
resentenced on NEXT Monday according to
law; Robinsun's counsel viii take the case
TO the Supreme Court holding that the pris-
oner should be discharged.

Rose CoghIan,s Opinion.

Shall we say one word about the morality
of the drama? 1t is hardly necessary. 1t
is conveDtionality that the stage shall rep
resent OILY seemly events. But events may
contravene ethical standards or the Ten
Commandments and yet be seemly. An I'M
broken line OF strictly faultless characters
reading Hannah More's works and the
'Rollo" books alone would not survive a
first night. Human events, proceeding
with circumstances, partake OF human SIM
fitness. and continually give rise to erratic
and ill-regulated emotions. This is real
