A Useful Patent.

The Tebelman Bros.. of Trenton, Ark, Alex and John, have recently
 ome into the possession of very use- fui and valuable patent. It is an um- orelia and cane rack of the simplest ,ud yet the most ingenious pattern. It vas patented by German resident of 3remen, and MT. Tebelman the elder. father of our TebeTmans, secured the right for the United States of America aud presented it to his boys. The de- vice has to be seen'to be appreciated. Briefly, however, it is a handsome rack, III might say, fastened to the wall. in- u' which you may lock your umbrella, waking cane, billiard cue, or articles li1- them, automatically. They are pro. vided with a metal trough at the bot tom, in which the lower end of the um- orelia may rest; and this trough, if your umbrella is wet, will take care of the water that drains from it. Every D ace of business, and especially every residence and club room. and even churches, should be provided with tl.ese useful and yet cheap devices. It is great comfort to be able to walk into your office and put your wet umbrella into rack, from which you may take it later in dry condition. The Messrs. rebeiman will manufacture them in large quantities, probably in Detroit, and control all the territory in the coun- try bv employing agents to sell them.
 Rev. J. A. Mason has the agency for the above useful and ornamental de- vice, and will canvass this and Monroe countisa.
