Patents
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-
venences of mankind IN the factory and
work shop, the household, on the farm, and
in Official life, require continual accessons
to the appurtenances and implements to each
in order TO save labor, time ard expense
The political change in the administration
ofgovernment does not affect the progress
OF the American inventor, who beng on the
alert, and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, docs not permit the affairs or
government to deter him from quickly con-
eeiylng the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care cannot be
exercised in choosing a competent and skill.

No Blanks in this Competition.

This is competition of rather an unusual
nature 1t is common to offer prizes for the

all the competitors risklng the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling

A Visit From the Bayleys.

The servant at No. told the serv-
ant at No. that her master expected
his old friends, the Bayleys, to pay a
visit, and No. told No that No. 1
expected to have the Bayleys in the
house every day, and No. 8 told No.
4 that it was all up with No. and
that they couldn't keep the bailiffs
out, whereupon No. 4 told No. 5 that
the officers were after No. 1, and that

vent himself from being taken in OK.

The BrOwn-Sequard El1xir.

The Riforma Medica, an Italian
journal, gives results of long series
of experiments with the Brown-se-
Guard elixir and concludes that the
liquid, injected hypodermically, has
not the slightest lasting effect upon
the human organism; that the tri-
fling and transitory notifications of
circulation, respiration, temperature
and muscular power are explicable
by the excitement and tension of the
subjects mind; that any rare and
transient improvement observed in
the treatment of various organic dis
eases by this method was due to sug-
gestion and the influence of imagina-
ton, to which causes alone is to be
attributed the cure of some cases OF
hysteria and neurasthenia.
