OF the many .-ac.s ,-1o ti.jl, they know
a good deal ABOUT the confederate govern
ment only teys are aware o. the fact that
the confederacy was supplied with pat
ent Office, and that it issued patents in just
about the same style as that practiced by
the United States. How many inventions
received such protection as could be
thrown around by the power which ruled
the south for four years may never be
known, but it is certain that at least fif-
teen received official recognition, for on q
wall in the Office of Mr.. James L. Norris
Is an original document which assured
John L. Jones, of Tally o, n. c., that for
fourteen years from the 26th day of
August, 1861, he should have ''the full and
exclusive right and liberty of making,
constructing, using and vending to others
TO be used" new and useful improvement
IN carriage wheels
This was the fifteenth patent issued by
the confederacy. 1t was signed by Judah
Z. Benjamin, attorney general, and coun-
tersigned by Rufus R. Rhodes. commits
sioner Of patents. Mr. Rhodes was United
States commissioner of patents prior to the
war. Accompanying the parchment,
which is properly sealed, and which cost
Mr.. Jones the sum Of forty dollars, are the
customary specifications and drawings.
The penmanship displayed in the specif-
cations is extremely beautiful, while the
drawings, which are in india ink on linen
tracing, could hardly be improved on. The
whole forms a most interesting and valu-
able souvenir.-Washingto Star

SUPPLIES FOR TYpeWRITERs.
Mysteries of the Processes for Making Ink
Ribbons and Manifoldine Papcrs

The manufacture OF 1ypewri' ing supplies
Is first class mystery. IL would seem
that the making of such ar. c,es as ink
ribbons, carbon paper and manifold paper
is hedged around with secrets The pro-
prietary value of the various b -ands on the
market CONSISTS in the private knowlei ge
of processes watch are explains 70 nobody
typewriter ribbons Of the best sort are
male out of the finest cotton RI bbon, which
Is bought in large rolls. They vary in
width from five-sixteenths of an inch to an
inch and hall Some ribbonsc-e cut out
of cotton cloth, but this is an inferior
method. Th: ribbon is soaked in liquid
ink, being subsequently rubbed very
thoroughly in order TO distribute the ink
through all tue flores. Finally it is sub
Iected to a process of polish ing, which
renders it possible 20 handle the ribbon
without much smut.
The most important point is the compo-
sition of the ink, the ingredient is of which
are kept secret. 1t is mixed with oil and
glycerine to keep it from gettin z dry. Two
kinds of inks are used for the ribbons
That employed for ordinary ribbons con-
tains such insoluble pigments as logwood
or prussian blue or lampblacl. But the
ink for copying ribbons must he composed
with soluble colors, usually aniline dyes.
After being soaked, rubbed and polished
the ribbon is cut into lengths Of from five
to eighteen yards, according to the ma
chimes on which they are intended to be
used. Lastly each ribbon is wrapped in
silver paper or tin foil and put into paste
board box. However, the newe est thing is
to sell each ribbon wound on a little reel
inside of a tin box. Durability is the quail
ity chiefly demanded in typewriter rib
bons. The process of applying the ink re-
quires great skill. If there is too much 1t
will smut.
Carbon paper, for manifolding on the
typewriter, is 50 difficult to make that it is
exceptional to find any that is first rate 1t
is manufactured simply by combining
lampblack and underlying oils with suitable
paper. How to accomplish this success
fully is problem on which a vast amount
Of labor and money have been expended.
Manifold tissue paper, such Us the press
associations and syndicate correspondents
use for sending ont their news and letters,
as many as sixteen good copies being
struck off at a single touch of the type key,
is made from the best cotton and MANILA
stock. Animal oil is distributed over the
paper by machinery specially II ade for the
purpose. But as to what kind of animal
the oil is obtained from and how the ma
chine works nobody outside of the business

That there is a mysterious association in

Has il occurred to our republican
friends that defeat has left them leader
less? they must have someone to reor-
gsnize the party. TO shape its policy, to
enable il 10 modernIZe itself and adapt
itself to the issues of present and future.
President Hsrrison believes himself g.
leader still, and he is writing q message
intended 10 rally the party around him.
But President Harrison is almost unique
in cliDgiIg TO the delusion that he is still
politically alive. BE never was capable
of recruiting party. As leader he
could only lead to defeat it is impos>
sible be should survive. He represents civil
war politics and nothing else, while in
order to survive the republican party
must show that it is something more than
a civil war party.
Where is the statesman TO whom re-
publicsns can look to mend their shat
tered iortunet Is it to the snile Hoar
the sebsceous Reed, or the invertebrate
Allisonf II they will have none Of
these, they will turn TO Edmunds to find
his place vacant, while Sherman's active
work is over and he lsgs supeIfuous in
the senate.

Feebles, mere number of managers OF
blocks-of- five. shakers Of the bloody shirt
whose occupation is gone.
But then there is Blaine, "the greatest
living statesman" Poor Blainel All
the consolation be has in politics is that
he knew his party was going TO ruin.
But be is hardly fit for its Cariolanus
even if it had sense enough 10 get down
on its knees and beg his pardon for its
folly.
The democratic party makes leaders as
ii needs them. 1t can get along well
enough without them until it is ready to
make them. But the republican perty
must have them always on hand, since it
cannot make them in an emergency. Andi
at present, it has no one capable of TAX
ing charge of it and setting its face for
ward. II is lesderless.

Within a couple of blocks of the Stock
exchange is an old bookseller, who gets a
deal of comfort from his occupation. On a
fair day share Of his stock is brought out
for display on boxes near the entrance of
the basement in which he has his shop,
and he sits beside them, at once advertis-
ing his business and improving his mind
by reading one of his books Customers
make their pick Of the stock, pay for the
books they select and go their way, but he
reads on, and is Happy in spite of the in
terruptions when the money comes in

The article as based on an er-
roneous statement Of facts which had
been made TO us. AS soon as the
paper was handed to few Of our
SUI scr1bers our attention was called
to the fact that we had been mis-
Informed about the matter. That
heing the case We concluded not to
send out any other papers.
A rule for contempt was served
upon us. We appeared and answered
the rule by declining any 1NTEN-

stating that we had proceeded upon
an erroneous statement of the facts
As soon IS this was done the rule was
discharged by our paying fine Of u
