WEALTH HERE AND tsRoAD.
Points of Contrast Between the Rich In
America and In Europe.

Points OF Contrast Between the Rtch In
America and In Europe.
The English and the Americans are
both rich, but which are the richer?
Perhaps the statisticians know or can
find out, but it is not certain that the
statistical answer would give the infor-
nation that n really wants and which
involves the distribution of wealth as
well as its mere existence. Most Amer
leans have to work; but, as is well
known, a considerable proportion Of
English people toll not nor spin, and
make nc pretense of doing anything for
a living. Is that because the English
are richer than we. or is it a matter of
taste or a result Of primogeniture? So
also it ap~pears-from close study Of
documents submitted by Anthony Troll
lope and other conternporaneous histo-
rians-that British gentlemen in re-
spectacle circumstances employ from
five to fifty servants and have several
houses apiece, all of which they live in,
and travel much besides. An Ameri-
can who lives in that way is looked
upon as a man Of very exceptional re-
sources, but it would seem that an Eng
fish gentleman who does not live in that
way is thought to be somewhat strait
ened. In England there are 300 or 400
hunt clubs, and something like 90, 900
Britishers ride pretty regularly to
hounds. But hunting is a expensive
sport that takes both time and money.
These English seem to have both to
spare.
A returned traveller was speaking Of
the shoals of agreeable English people
he met in the Riviera and in all the
play places of southern Europe. When
asked if they were rich people, he said
not, but that they were able to live as
they did because they knew how and
got their moneys worth. He thought,
too, that the well to do English had a
more complete domestic apparatus ready
to hand than most Americans and
could spend a larger proportion of their
incomes on travel and amusement.
Houses and furniture and such expen-
sive vanities they had already by in
heritance and were not compelled to
spend useful money in providing them.
Regarding the English habit of pub
fishing novels in three bound volumes
would the American buy novels in such
costly form? Are not all the habits Of
living that we borrow from the British,
from dock tailed horses to indoor men
servants, more costly than the customs
they supersede? They must have a great
deal of money to spend. those enterpris-
ing islanders. No one would hesitate
to say hat the Americans are richer
than the Russians, or the Italians, or
the Germans, or ever the thrifty French,
but the Briton gives us pause. Is he
really richer than we are, or is he mere
ly an older son. and adweller in a land
where servants work for small pay,
and clothes are cheap, and novels are
rented out by Nude, and the tax on
stimulants is laid for revenue, and not
for prevention. and where to loaf and
invite ones soul is esteemed a prefer

PLAYING Cards.


The invention of playing cards has
been attributed to the Chinese, Hindoos,
Arabians and Romans, but cards as
now used were invented by Jacques
Gringonneur, d painter, in Paris in the
fourteenth century. They were sup
posed to have been first made for the
amusement of Charles VI of France,
who was deranged. The French had
particular names for the ~ court cards.
The four kings were David, Alexander,
Caesar and Charles; the four queens,
Angine, Esther, Judith and Pallas; the
four knaves or knights, Ogier the Dane,
Lancelot, La Hire and Hector de Gar
land. Cards seem originally, however,
to have been taken to England direct
from Spain, having probably been in
troduced into that country by the Moors;
the clubs, in Spanish cards, not being
trefoils as with Us, but cudgels-that is,
bastos-the spades or swords, espadas.
They were at first stamped from wood
blocks in outline and filled in by hand,
but after the invention of engraving the
best artists engraved them on copper
and struck them off at once. Column
bines were spades; rabbits, clubs; pinks,
diamonds, and roses, hearts. Human
figures opposed to those of flowers and
animals were the ancestors Of court
cards. -Brooklyn Eagle.

The funeral of Joseph Barber, from
the house of hisson, Addison o., April
10th, called together a respectable num-
Der of neighbors. He was in the S7th
year of his age. His father was Tim
othy Barber, brother of Elijah and Ben
jamin Barber. His grandfather was
Joseph Barber, who came pto Vermont
from Connecticut and settled in Pownal.
These three sons, mentioned above,
owned adjoining farms in the east part
of the town. Joseph, the subject of this
sketch, is survived by two sons, Addison
o. and Edward J.

One of them has been discontinued by

other one is Bennington affair, that is,
as far as plaintiff is concerned. Where
it will end, no one can tell. Lawyers
are sometimes compared to mixers, e"
who milk the COW while the parties to
the suit quarrel over the animal. OF
course If the COW is not dry one,
that is, if there is any money in the pool,
the affair may be protracted one, as
lawyers are good mixers when there is
plenty of milk.

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the history
of our country when the demand for in
ventions and improvements in tho arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The conveniences of mankind in
the factory and workshop, the house
hold, on the farm, and in official life, re-
quire continual accessions to the appur-
tenances and implements of each in or
der to save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra-
ton of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who
being on the alert, and ready to perceive
the existing DEFICIENCIES, does not per-
init the affairs of government to deter
him from quickly conceiving the rem
edy to overcome existing discrepancies.
Too great care can not be exercised in
choosing competent and skillful attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an appli-
cation for patent Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in innu-
merable instances by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and especially
is this ADVICE applicable to those who
adopt the mo 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 a
quick endeavor to get an allowance and
obtain the fee then due. THE PRESS
