FIRE-EXTINGUISITERS, HISTORY OP A GREAT MONOPOLY. Special Dispateh to Tue Trivune. WASRINGTON, D. C., Sept. 2L—A patent has Tecently been issued to Archibald Graham, ad- mipistrator of William A, Grabam, late of Lex- ington, Va., for methods of and apparatus for ing fires, which covers all the fire-ax- unguishers, and perpetuates the monopoly in the manufacture of fire-extinzuisherstda period of thirty years from the date of the first patent for the same. On the 23a of November, 1537, William A. Graham, of Lexington, Va., applied fora patent for a mode of exumguishinz fires, .but his application was rejected on the ground that his so-called invention was devoid of nov- eity or utifity. The soda-fountain represented the machine; and the abstract principle thay carbouic acid will not keep up combustion fs, as youare aware, well kuown. Bevond this, the officer held, Grabam had uot goue, and was therefore not entitled to a patent. Ou 2 appesl to the Commissioner, Heory L. Elisworth, the father of the patent oflicer then bolding the position, Dec. 1337, said: “Upon a areful examination of your applieation and 2 perusal of yours of the 13th, the opinion of the oflice rematos unchan By adverting to your claim you will perceivé that you do not claim a pew agent or 4 uew macmue, but simply 1ibe idea oF aiscovery that varbonic gas or fixed air will extinguish flame.” The next year TIE APFLICATION WAS RENEWED with the addition of a third claim, ana wes Te- jected, the additioual claim being declared but +8 modification of the other two. Gralam then rasked tim to demoustrate the practicability aud ratility, which was granted. 1 Herethe matter rested for mearly fourtcen years, when Grabam agaip presented his appli- Uon und tiae Commissioner refused 1o re- werse the decision of bis predecessor. From this point Graham dropped out of }siebt for several years, and in 1865 s patent ¥as granted for a firc-extinguisher to Braz- .

Mr. Mlouiton thinks that Secretaty Sherman is growiy tired of public life. For pearly o quarter ol a century he has held public posi- tious, during which time he has been constantly uuder a heavy strain.

Whatever Mr. Sherman may have done, he cannot be accuwed of bemg tucousictent. On the contrary, the record of no otiier public man who has taken part in the dis- cuesion of the fiuancial question presents the same evidences of fived opinions, unwaveringly pur- sued. The article also insists that Sherman has no doubts about resimption, and intended to ex- p2ess no hesitation with respect to it last week.

CRIME, BETRAYED AND MURDERED. New Yok, Sept. 20.~The staid inhabitants of Staten Island have been in a state of excite- ment since Sunday last, When the body of a girl was found buried in a pasture near Silver Lake, by boys tending cattle. The body had been wrapped in sheets, then in 2 carpet, and after- wards jammed into-n barrel, in s sitting posi- tion, with the head between the knees, and the arms crossed on the breast. The sheets were saturated with chloride of lime. The physi- ciaus said the womwan. was pregnant, and had Deen buried between three sud four weeks, aud believed the girl was u victim of malpractice. “The wystery remained unexplained till to- duy, when George Hommell, u_farmer of Sau- gerties, N. Y., and his pastor, the Rey. Lichten- berg, recognized the body as that of Hommell’s daughter Annic. Lichtenverg said toa, Tribune reporter that seven years ago Homraell, with bis wife ana six childrén, emlzrated to America from Wurtem- bergz. Anuie, who was a fine-loolane girl, when 14 years old, became u servant in the family or awealthy Jew, a clothier, of Sauwerties, and within a year theJcw and the girl have be suspected of too great intimacy. In December last Aunie diseppeared. Suspicion settled on her employer as the caase of her ruin aud dis- appearance. He pretended 10 nid the search for hier, and for that purpose came to New York in March with the Rev. Lichtenberg, who says the Jew acted peculiarly. The Hommell family recelved several .letters in a disguised hand, ourporting to explain Annie’s disappearance. Oue, bearing the post- wark Philadelphia, Aug. 29, was signed ** M. D.,”” saying that Annie had been sick with dropsy, bad lost her reason. and concluded: 1 am sorry to tell you that your dear daughter, in spite of all my niedical iclp, has goue to a bet- ter bome. Her last words were: “Dear mother, don’t forget your Annie,’” After this letter was received the Jew main- tained that Annie died-of dropsy. The towus- people bave distrusted him; and have refused to trade with him. When the New York papers reached Sauger- tics yesterday, stating that the body found was a fine-looking, weli-developed girl, 20 years old, with small hands and feet, perfect set of teeth, and loug black hair, stating also the fact of se- duction, villagers hurried to the Rev. Lichten- berg, who was avtending a funeral, to declare their belief that the girl was the missing An- Die, The pastor and Hommell took the first boat for New York, and arrived at the Poor-House, Staten Island, this atternoon, half an hour atter the girl was buricd. Soon after the body was a second time disintered, aud the father, alter a careful examination, said: **’That is the body ol my daughter. Her mouth andteeth tell e s0; the color and lengzh of her hair tell me so. Yes, she used to braid her hair like this (point- ing to a threc-strand braid). 1 am surc my daughter lies there. Ifeel that it is she.” The. Rev. Lichtenbery was equally confident that it was Aunic Hommell. “The girl’s former employer will be prosecuted. fle bas a daughter hiving 1o Philadelphia, and it is supposed that the Philadetphis letter was posted by her.

Paris, Aug. 2.—Having conscientionsly worked my way throush a tnousaud wonders of porcelain ana [urniture, paintings, glass, bronzes, and mnch besides; I had almost fancied that the picturesque and artistic side of the British section'was exbausted. I was about to zrapple with such serious subjects as textile fabrics, machiaery, and agricultursl immple- meuts (all equally sbomivable in the sight of my fair readers, 1 'know), when a providential circumstance led meto a corner Which, to my surprise, I had hitherto (so gigantic is this Ex- hibition) entirely negzlected. No soover did I see it than I threw Jooms and printinu-presses to the winds; nor will any lady blame te for so doing when she hears that the attraction which beguiled me from my graver duties was the exhibition of LACE AND FANCT WORK. Now, [putitto each-individual female con- science: Could the temptation:be resisted? Lace had played an important part iu the un- ' doing of many a lady’s morality. Thrilliog tales of fraud committed at custom-houses by gentle and innocent-looking creatures must be present in the mminds of most of us. In the days when crinoline was still toleruted, the smugeling of Honitoa or Valencienues was car- ried on toan alarminge extent: and even when amore seusible fashion banished the hideous old balloons to the Jumber-room,—whence, pray heaven, - they shall never more return to plague us,~it was ‘the commonest thing in the world to” find lace-triminings surreptitiously crossing the froutier, and evading the diligent search of Governuient-officials. The oddest tricks have been resorted to by inventive smugglers. Lace bas been buried in the scented recesses of Cheshire cheeses, pagked into oyster-varrels, squeezed into walnut-shells, aud hidden in the saered folds of ladies’ outdP—and inner—sur- ments. There is sume subtie fascination in the pretty, cobwebby stuff, that women can’t fizht against. A fanciful historian, reluting the piteous tale of the death of Scottish Mary, has discovered tbat Elizabeth had her beantiful nival beheaded merely in order to GET POSSESSION OF S0ME WONDERPUL LACE which she coveted. But that may be safely set down as caluany. g is'alibel on the * Virsin Queen ™ and her sex. . Let it not be supposed that men are imimaculate in the matter of lace- smugpling, either. Do you remember that sweat aueedote of the respectable French Mayor, the representative of orderund lezality fu hisown commune, who wis discovered in the very act of contrapand on the Belmun frontier? Whether the temptation took tue form of Valenciennes or Maltese, Irish polnt or Honiton. history re- cordeth mot. All we are told is this: The worthy Mayor had hastily bestowed the forbidden goods within a shiny aud digmitied-looki uieh hat. He was catmly passing throuzh the ordeal of exawination, when, 23 puetic justice would have it, whom should he behold comine towards him but a humble admirer of his, the Chef de Dousne. Being, like all French-speaking per- sons, cssentially polite,—particularlyto Mayors, Prefeets, and such administrative characters,— the Cliet de Douane saluted in the usual way. M. le Maire_could do no less thun respond: so strong is habit that he for & moment forgot the lace. Off went the hat,—dowu came several bundles of (et us say) Valencienues, and in a wmoment our respectable iriend was draped from hiead to fout iu snowy-white, looking for ail the world like one of “the rustic maidens whose orange-blossoms M. le Maire had so often been called upon to consecrate. His own oranee- blossums—a spotlessreputation—vanished, alas! forever.
