NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the his
tory Of our country when the demand
for inventions and improvements in
the arts and sciences generally was so
great as now. The conveniences of
mankind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual &C
cesslons to the appurtenances and
implements of each in order to save
labor, time, and expense. The political
change in the administration OF the
government does not affect the progress
pf the American inventor, wi being
Gil the alert and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit
the affairs Of government to deter him
from quickly conceiving the remedy to
overcome existing discrepancies. Too
great care cannot be exercised in choos
nga competent and skillfully attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an ap-
plication for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in in
Vulnerable instances by the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class Of attorneys
do so at imminent risk, as the breadth
and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of quick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain th'
fee then due. THE PRESS CLAIMS

Manager, GlS + street, N. W., Wash

tect its patrons from the unsafe
methods heretofore employed in this
line of business. The said Company
is prepared to take charge of all patent
business entrusted to it for reasonable
fees, and prepares and prosecutes ap-
plicationS generally, including
mechanical inventions, design patents

PICTURE OF A HEROINE.
A Long-Missed Painting Turns
Upin New Jersey.

The State.
Some time ago, when there was
some talk about having designed
new coat-of-arms of the State,
the idea of having the female
figures thereto exact likenesses OF
some of the Revolutionary heroines
of South Carolina was suggested. /.
The name of Emily Geiger was the
first mentioned, but nowhere could
any trace of likeness of her be
sound.
Now comes letter to some OF
the descendants of her family
stating that the original picture OF
her capture by Flagg, showing her
as she was-a paintings in the
possession of Stacy 4. Potts, of
Trenton, New Jersey, and could
be Obtained.
This letter also gives the fol-
lowing interesting sketch of
Miss Geiger's heroic deed: "Lee
ascertained that Rawdon had de-
termind to abandon Ninety-Six,
and to form force under Col.
Stuart, whom he had ordered to
advance from Charleston to Fri
days Ferry at CRANKY; while COL
Cruger, with lis Harrison, and
those Loyaiists with their property
who might choose to follow were
to march directly to Orang0burg.
While Rawdon was thus preparing
to abandon the upper country,
Sumter intercepted a letter to that
officer from Col. Balfour in Char
lesion, informing him that he had
recalled Stuart after he had COM
menced his march for Fridays
Ferry. This letter was sent to
Greene, who Immediately sent his
hospital and heavy baggage, then
at, Winnsboro, to be forwarded to
Camden, while he prepared to
pursue Rawdon with all his force.
He sent Lee TO reach the front OF
of the British army before It could
reach Fridays Ferry, and dis
patched messages to Marion and
Sumter ordering them 10 take a
similar position. 1t is said that
the message to Sumter from
Greene was conveyed by Emily
Geiger, the daughter of a German
planter in Fairfield district. He
prepared letter to Sumter but
none of mis- men appeared willing
to attempt the hazardous service,
for the Tories were on the alert,
as Rawdon was approaching the
Congaree. Greene was delighted
by the boldness of a young girl,
not more than eighteen years OF
age. who came forward and vol1n-
teered to carry the letter to Sum-
ter. With his usual caution be
communicated the contents of the
letter to Emily, fearing she might
lose it on the way. She mounted
a fresh horse and crossing the
Wateree at the Camden Ferry,
pressed ON towards Sumter's camp.
Passing through dry swamp on
the second day of her journey, she
was intercepted by some Tory
scouts, coming from the direction
of Greene's army. She was an OBJ
iect of suspicion and was taken
tc a house on the edge of the
swamp and confined in a room.
They then sent for a woman to
search her person. No sooner was
she alone than she ate up Greene s
letter piece by piece. After a while
the matron arrived, made a careful
search but discovered nothing.
With many apologies Emily was
allowed to pursue her journey.
She reached Sumter's camp, COM
municated Greene's message, and
soon Rawdon was flying before the
Americans towards Orangoburg.
Emily Geigcr afterwards married
