Something About st. Patrick, the
Apostle Of Ireland.

In the long list of the saints Of the
church since the days of the apostles,
there is perhaps no naine in the ca!en-
dar whose meDtion fills the hearts Of
Catholics the world over with such a
warm thrill of affection rs the name of
st. Patrick, the apostle of Ireland.
The life story Of the saiut il familiar
to nearly all patriotic 1rishmeD. as is
his miraculous conversion OF the Irish
people, whom he had first learned to
love and to thirst for their conversion.
while he was a captive on the island.
The wonderful incidents in his long
missionary career in Ireland, and his
conversion Of the princes and people Of
Erin, are familiar to all. Before his
death he had converted all the people,
founded 1856 churches, and cOnsecrated
as many bishops. Tradition states that,
ia expnunding the doctrine Of the holy
trinity, he used a little sprig Of t%refoil,
or three-leayed grass, whence the sham
rock came to be the national emblem,
as st. Patrick ia the national saint or
patron of ireland.
It was no other than st. Patrick who
auencied the fire of paganism in Ire
land, and lighted the flame of Christian
faith. After a life of more than a hun
dred years, he died on the nth of March,
483. The entire people of Ireland haye
accepted his faith without resistance,
and have since chung to it with q loyalty
and devotion nnequafed by another
PEOPLE in Christendom.

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never q time in the history OF
our country when the demand for inventions
and improvements 10 the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now. The conven-
fences Of mankind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, and in
official life, require continual accessions to the
appurtenances and implements of each in
order to save labor, time and expense. The
political change in the administration of gov
eminent does not affect the progress Of the
American inventor, who being on the alert,
and ready to perceive the existing deflclen-
cies, does not permit the affairs of govern
ment to deter him from quickly conceiving
the remedy to overcome existing discrepan-
cies. Too great care cannot be exercised IN
choosing a competent and skilltul attorney to
prepare and prosecute an application Tor
patent. Valuable interests have been lost
the employment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to those
who adopt the "No patent, no pay" system.
Inventors who intrust their business to this
class Of attorneys do scat an imminent risk,
as the breadth and strength of the patent is
never considered in view of IL quick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain the fee then
due. The Press Claims Company, John We'd
derbnrn, General Manager, 6l8 + street, N.
w., Washington, d. C., representing Il large
number of important daily and weekly papers,
as we'll as general periodicals Of the country,
was instituted to protect its patrons from the
unsafe methods heretofore employed in this
line of business. The said Company is PIE
pared to take charge of all patent business
entrusted to it for reasonable fees, and pre-
pares and prosecutes applications generally.
including mechanical Inventions, design pat
ents, trademarks, labels, copyrights, inter
f%erences, infringements. validity reports, and
gives especial attention to rejected cases. 1t
is also prepared to enter into competition
with any firm in securing foreign patents.

The Purchase of State Bonds.

Times-Democrat.
The Board of Liquidation advertised
some weeks ago for the purchase and
retirement of State bonds, the money
for that purpose to come from the sur-
plus interest fund. The pendency Of
the Roster suit prevented this from be-
ing done, and the money for the bonds
retired had to be taken from the sur
plus to the credit of the general fund,
also available for this purpose. It left
the entire interest fund untouched.
The public has naturally desired 70
know what the Board of Liquidation
would do with the large amount OF
money it has on hand, as, since the de-
cisions Of the State and Federal courts.
it enjoys full liberty of action. under
the law. The matter could not he de-
cided until the meeting of the board
Saturday, when it was determined to
issue another call for bonds, without
stating tue amount desired, so as to
give the State an opportunity TO reject
any offer that might he made. and at
the same time to open negotiations with
the holders of coupons to see if salts
factory terms could not be arranged
with them. These are the gentlemen
who brought suit in the Roster case
and endeav0red to dictate terms, but
WuU AOuuu thde thOJ Souiu uOG uO 5os
The Board of Liquidation, however, is
not disposed to remember their suit
against them. Louisiana is willing and
anxious to pay all its honest debts, and
shows a disposition to Investigate these
coupon claims. 1t is true that their
holders have no standing in court; and
further true, that even if they had a
standing they wouid have no case, as
the Constitution and laws Of Louisiana
provide that the coupons of any year
must be paid put Of the taxes of that
year. None of these points, however,
will be pressed, but the coupon holders
will be given a hearing, and any pr0po-
sitions they may have to make will be
entertained. The State promises moth
ing it can be forced to nothing it only
opens negotiations. 1t is to be hoped
that the coupon holders will appreciate
this fact, and, recognizing the situation
and the generosity which prompts the
offer, will make u reasonable prnpo-
sition. We are satisfied that the board
will accept none other, aud that the
people will approve whatever action is
taken. Q
