TUM PATENT CORSET. An ingenious inventor called at Tae Tribune. oflice yesterday evening to display n model of a concern which be said was bound to revolu- vonize suclety und prove a blessing of the first water, Jt was inspected curiously by the editors und reporters, and public sentinvent was greatly divided 9 to its nature, the opinion being freely expressed that it was a life-saving jackot, a model of an improved dry-dock, s patent wheat- cradle, anda combined horse-trough and bear- trap. Wrong. gentlemen; all of you ure positively wrong,” said the inventor, Glandlys “this here isa corset.” “Oh, yes," exclaimed a member of the stafl; “T seo In tho Inst utimber of Fornesy’s J’rogresa that many men wear them—prevents them from taking cold, £ suppose, ora uselil thing to turn the Ditlet of an agenssin.”” “No, slr,” said the in- ventor, ‘these ore for women's use,—~for use by women of all ages aud conditions, but es- pecially by young and wnmarried women, and of them particularly by those who have the mla- fortune to bave no uadinirers of the male sux, or whoso lovers are drummers er go to visit other girls, = while they are left Jamenting, aa the poet beautifully says. You see It is just the same ag the ordinary coract fo all essential par- tculars.”? ‘The editors und reporters nodded ussent; though they had neyer—that fa, lardly ever—seep an ordinary corsct, except perhaps in a shop-wwindow, snd were entirely trnorant of the uses to which thet singular instrument of jeweiry is sald to be put, But," vontinued “the inventor, ‘there are several attachments not fottnd in the ordinary cor- set, and which form the partleular charn of oy patent improved corset,—the Absent Friend Hecalled, as TL poetieally call it. Routid the central section of the aorset there extends, as you will see, a binged clamp—a curious and, yot very slinple orravgemient of powerful springs, 60 arranged that the pressure they ex- ert cun be graduated at pleasure, and os in- stuntancously exerted or removed. ‘The com- pression varles from that of a thinfd and una custumed friend whose muscle is imperfect Is developed, or who has a bolt on the lustde of his elbow, up to that exerted by a Tlercules when engaged {tu strangling a boa-con- strictur; an the scale they are marked, you see, from G Sup to AA 11, the equivatent in pounds belng given, 80 that the young lady cao set her corset so ag to squeeze her precisely su wnuch and no more, when she has discovered by experlinent,—as she can easily do,x—her be- trothed’s hugeing vower. ‘Thus if a woman hus no tover, or her admirer has goue to the lodge, or to see another, or is out of town, all she has to do is to put on her automatte corset, touch the spring, and, with o Httle exercise of the, imagination, recall the absent one.” ‘Chey all said it wus an admir- able fuvention, and the pleased inventor satd tt war, and he expected to have millions of the corsets in nee soa, especially in boarding. schools, “Ef Judge Hilton dud had each of, his boarders fitted with one of these,” said he, “the Women's Tote! would never have busted up, but would survive, ons of the noblest of charitles.” dle also explaiued that be intends to fit to the corset au outside arrange: ment,—a rod of steel surmounted with a spiral spring bearlug an urtillclal mustache strongly impregnated with cloves, trix, ctyar-smoke, or any other perfunio that muy be desired, aug which by the action of the compressors of the corset will be made to touch the wearer's check with w Ifelike motion.
