Notice to Inventors.

There was never time in the history OF
our country when the demand for Inventions
and improvements in the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now. The con-
veniences 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 to each
in order TO snye labor, time ard expense
The political change in the administration
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 permit the affairs Of
government to deter him from quickly con.
eeiylng the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care cannot be
exercised in choosing competent and skill
full attorney to prepare and prosecute an
application for patent Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in lnnumerable
instances by the employment of incOmpe-
tent counsel, and especially is this advice
applicable to those who adopt the mo pat.
ent, nc pay" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class of attorneys do
80 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 the fee then due. THE PRESS

THE LITTLE THINGS THE
MOST VALUABLE.

Comnaratiyely few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
mas been struck, at one time or announcer
with IDEAS that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the little frictions of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.

its car windows so that they could De slla W,

the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out or break off, or gouge out the BACK

And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances and begin to think OF some
thing else. Ifthey would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their IDEAS
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then Apply
for patents, they might find themselves as
independently wealthy as the man VINO III

NOT so HARD AS 1T SEEMS,

ingly formidable thing. The idea IS lhat an AZ
inventor must be a natural genius, llke Eui-
son or Bell :; that he must put years 10 ueis'nS

of his experiments: But the man who e,t con.
ce;ved the idea of fastening bit OF rubber
cord to a child's ball, so that it would come
back to his hand when thrown made lor-
tune out of his scheme. The modern sew

product of the toll ofhundIeds OF busy brains

whole brilliant result rests upon the simple
device of putting the eye OF the needle AZ Tue

NEW SACRAMENTO.
Congratulations From the southern
Metropolis.
[From the Los Angeles Express.l

From the Los Angeles Express.
The Express has already congratulated
the State Capital OH having found an
economic spring at which 1t is about to
renew its youth and begin life of indus
trial progress and prosperity. But Sacra-
mento Is coming out so elaborately in her
electrical carnival that we take occasion
to again congratulate her on having got
ten rid of her mossbacks and having
taken her place beside Los Angeles and
the other live towns of California.
We notice that the invitations to her
carnival on September 9th contain amid
the pictures Of the electrical decorations
that are to be used this one, New Sacra-
mento," and we are sincerely rejoiced to
see that in future the Sacramento that
CaIifornians will know will be a new city,
with well-paved streets extending tor
miles in every direction; with factories
by the dozens, with their thousands of
employees, giving q substantial evidence
that Sacramento is one of the great manu-
facturiug cities on this coast. Cheap
power ought to make any city, and cleo
lricity is undou btedly the power of the
future. Sacramento has an abundance of
this new force for industrial purposes,
which she can furnish manufacturers at q
mere nominal cost Now that the city
has awakened to it's new possi bilitles, and
that life and action have been called forth
to replace the inertia and sleep of the past,
we shall expect great things OF Sacra-
mentO.
A large delegation is going north to the
carnival from Southern California, and
the Express urges that everyone who can
should join the procession and'help chant
the songs of glory tor the State Capital.

PERVEESE JURIES.

There is SO prevalent a disposition to
score the courts whenever it is supposed
that there is a defeat Of justice. that it is
refreshing to hear of court now and
then getting back" at the people, who
are primarily and in this case wholly
responsible for defeat of the law.
In Chicago on Tuesday burglar was
on trial. The fellow was taken red
handed, so to speak, and made no de-
fense. He was captured while leaving
residence in the night time, loaded dow n
with the plumber of his thieving. But a
jury Of twelve men, good and true" AS
runs the phrase of the law, promptly
brought in verdict of not guilty.
Whereupon the Judge told the jury to
stand up, and he then and there scored
them roundly, telling the jurors that
their verdict was asinine, that the man
was guilty, and had made no pretense of
innocence; that such verdict was dis
grace and shame, and he wished mover
to see one of the jurors in that court
again.
We are not given by wire any particu-
lars in behalf of the jurors. but that the
man was guilty, and that the jury, sim
ply rebellious ald resolved upon show
ing out of mere lust its contempt for the
law, seems to be agreed. OF course such
jurors cannot be followed for perjury,
more's the pity.
The Chicago incident does not stand
alone. We know of case in this city a
few years ago in which verdict of mot
guilty" was returned though the defend
ant admitted his offense on the witness
stand. But his attorney besought the
jury to rise superior to the law concern
ing the wisdom of which the community
was divided in opinion. That jury took
the advice of the lawyer, and ignored
their oaths and the instructions Of the
court.
Another case came under our notice in
San Francisco of this character. A citi-
zen had sued to recover the value of
property lost by a common carrier, be-
question OF the value of the property was
not involved. 1t was admitted that if the
defendant was responsible at all, then
the damages should be assessed as claimed
in the complaint. All the jury had to
pass upon was the liability of the carrier.
Formally, OF course. it had to find the
amount of damages if it found the car
rier to have been responsible by rea-
son Of his negligence. That jury brought
in a verdict for the defendant, and as
sessed his damages at less than one-third
the value of the goods as admitted in the
pleadings.
The court was so amazed at the verdict
that it announced it's intention to grant a
new trial, and expressed itself freely CON-
corning the jury. The defendant was 80
we'll convinced that the jury had simply
upon consen ted that judgment be entered
against him for the amount claimed.
The perversity of juries is indeed fire.
quently manifest. 1t is to be accounted
for in most cases on no other ground than
that of desire to exercise the power COM
mitted, in way to show courts that the
jury is body they cannot discipline. In
no other way can such perverse verdicts
as those in the three instances cited be ac-
counted for, except it be taken that in all
such cases the jurors are asses.
