RAILRoADING PATENTs.-A single firm Of
Patent Lawyers, C. A. Snow 81 Co, of Wash
ington, d. c., have IN the last year procured
1880 patents for their clients, many of them
for rejected inventions. G. A, Snow & Co. 1,
have been accused of railroading patents
through the Patent Office, but they insist
that this locomotion is better than OK carting
them for by the latter process the inventor
often dies before he gets his patent. jS3m

Women Object to Making Wills
"In this country comparatively few
women make their wills" said woman

is that when they die complications and
Disputes are apt to arise. I think the
explanation of this lies in the fact that
women are superstitious about the mat

One of our valued exchanges speaks OF the
eclipse Of the sun in May next as an annular
eclipse No, it will not be annuar, 1t will be
a total eclipse in a certain path, partial
eclipse elsewhere. An annular (ring like
eclipse occurs when, due to the moon being
at its greatest distance from the earth and
the sun nearest, the apparent diameter ofthe
noon is less than that Of the sun, hence when
the eclipse occurs, at the middle OF the eclipse
there appears a ring of the suns surface SUI
rounding the opaque body of the moon.
Daring the eclipse in May next, the moon
will totally obscure the sun, the point of to,
tality nearest to this place being Norfolk,
Va. The fee of the sun will be almost en-
tirely hidden here, but we will not enjoy the
! magnificence of total eclipse.

/ oil Iaul Revere IIue, Dut lLlS was Il
| greater ride than that Paul Revere's
ride on that long ago April night
was 10 save the military supplies AT
! Concord and Lexington 20 the patri-
Otic cause; but this other ride was TO
save the Declaration OF Independence.
1t happened on that famous Fourth
Of July, 1776, the day in which the
American colonies were declared free
and independent States. If Caesar
Rodney had not made his historic ride
there might not have been any free
America to-day.
The Provincial Congress was In
session NJ Philadelphia, each of the
thirteen colonies having representa-
tivcs there. II was n great Congress
and a momentous question was before
the distinguished body. The great
charter Of our freedom had been writ
ten by jefferson; and Benjamin Har-
rison father and great-grandfather of
Presidents had presented II TO Con
gress on Monday. July ]. What
would the Continental Congress do?
In order that our country should
be free and independent, the Declar-
alton must be adopted. This could
be done if only the colonies stood
united for freedom, but not If the
colonies were divided. And there
were some good men who did not
believe il best 10 take this step at
this time. Four Of the seven dele
gates OF Pennsylvania were opposed
TO il; and. of the two Delaware dele
gates present, Thomas Mexican was
IN favor OF independence. but George
Read was opposed 10 the measure.
Caesar Rodney, the other member,
was in the southern part Of his State,
in the capacity of a brigadier-general,
organizing and drilling troops for the
coming struggle.
Two of the opposing Pennsylvania
delegates were persuaded TO absent
themselves, and thus the keystone
State" would favor the Declaration;
but the vote of Caesar Rodney was
necessary 10 carry the State OF Della
ware. A messenger was despatched
in hot haste 10 summon him to Phila
delphia and then for hours the pat
riots OF &c" talked and manoeuyred
o delay the final vote. On Thursday,
July 4, Congress was TO vote on the
momentous question.

Rodney kept up his reckless pace. Lit
tie, sleepy villages saw the horseman
pass like n feeting phantom; and the
inmates OF solitary farm-houses, awak-
ened 10y the clatter OF his horses hoofs,
wondered at that hurried flight.
The stars faded out of the morning
sky and the sun came up, red and
fiery, the herald OF a sultry day. And
still Caesar Rodney kept on his way.
He was yet many miles from Phila-
delphia. Would he be in time TO make
his country great and independent
His horse was jaded, and he was trav-
el-worn and covered with dust; but
the patriot did not slackon rein. He
must be there TO vote for the indie
pendence of America. And he was
there,
