The reports from the patent office during the last few years must be very encouraging to those who some ten or twelve yeats ago had occasion to defend our patent system against the attacks of quite a large number of oppo- nents, principally from the west and the terri- to#ies, who favored either the adoption of the English system or the entire abolition of the LOCAL MENTION.

The iti di ly to the q w 7th and E, opposition was due largely 1e abuse of the system of granting reissues and the lax methods of the patent oifice in this re- spect and also in respect to its exceedingly lib- eral tendencies in granting patents generally. Recently, however, the courts have taken a very decided stand against reissues founded upon any mere pretense of inadvertence or mistake in issuing the original patent, and have held invalid many patents that have been reissued on avery plausible but not a very sat- isfactory showing of error; jicularly when there has been unusual delay in filing the Manufacturing Clothiers and Tailors. CITY AND DISTRICT CONDENSED LOCALS. The case of Anha C. Morrison against Robert M. Morrison for divorce on the ground of bad treatment has been discontinue: C. W.

The office has also within recent years followed more closely than formerly ‘the practice announced by the courts in respect to the re- quirements in specification and claims of patents, the constructions to be given the same and the limitations to be placed thereon. el of assaulting his wife and left collateral COUPLED WITH THE IMPROVED METHODS for og appearance in the Police Court next | of procedure in the office there has been a weel marked increase in the number of applications for patents, which are now more carefully pre- pared than heretofore, anda large number of hew and original inventions and discoveries have recently been patented, including amon; this number the telephone in several improve: forms, practical electric railway appliances and many other important inventions, particularly in the electrical divisions. ‘Thus the patent office has arrived ata period in its history where its usefulness is made manifest and at which it has become ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BUREAUS OF THE GOVERNMENT departments and the proper administration of its affairs necessitates the selection of men possessing superior qualifications and a high order of general knowedge, as well as legal training, in order that the business of the office may be properly conducted. It has probably been truly said that the examining corps com- prises a larger body of men of intelligence, The Young Woman’s Home association has elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Miss Anaa A.

The late Commissioner Fisher, often spoken of as the ‘model commis- sioner” by reasun of his able and learned legal opinions and his excellent business capacity, probably did more than any other man to place the office on a solid foundation, and the practice outlined by him has continued in force in many important | maker to this day without change. The force of this statement becomes more apparent when it is remembered that the practice of the office has undergone many and frequent changes in other respects, but very few in respect to questions once definitely settled by Mr. Fisher. The office and the attorneys gen- erally began to think that the mantle of Mr. Fisher had fallen upon ex-Commissioner Hall, | but his work was cut short by a change in the administration, which resulted in his retire- ment at a time when he had just become suf- ficiently familiar with the affairsand needs of the office to render effective service. It is thought, however, that the present adminis- tration has been very fortunate in the selection of the seer commissioner, Hon, Charles E.

There was a large attendance, refresh- ments were served and a literary and musical | program was enjoyed. Among special attrac- tive incidents was a presentation to Miss Thompson from the children of a beautifully en- graved gold badge of the general form of the temple silver badge, and a gift of similar style, varying only in the engraving, to Miss Nellie Pumphrey, from the superintendent. The oc- casion was the graduation of Miss Pumphrey, and Miss Martin accompanied the presenta- tion with impressive and appropriate remarks.

Tllus- trated from the Antiquities Discovered in Mounds, Cairns, and Bows, as well ss from the Ancient Sagas and Eddas. By PAUL B. DU CHAILLU, Author of “Equatorial Africa,” “Land of the Mid- night Sup," &c. With 1,400 Tlustrations,.........0000..2 BOlt., 8v0.,87.50 Mr. Du Ohaillu's great popular work is the product of eight and a half years of constant labor, It pre- sents a graphic picture of the civilization of the Norse- men, the sources of the suthor’s information being he Sagas and Eddas, and the archmological treasures of the Scandinavian museums. All of these he ex- amined at first hand, and the result is a view, at once comprehensive and accurste, of the laws, customs, habits, industrial skill and mode of life of the Norse- men. Mr. Du Chaillu’s inference from the great mass of evidence thus presented is that ancestors of the English-speaking race were Scandinavian and not, as is generally held, Germanic in origin. The import- ‘ance, as well as the interest of the work, is thus ap- parent. The volumes are enriched with 1,400 illus- trations, conveying a vast amount of curious informa- tion and adding beauty to s useful holiday volume. HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. Br HENRY ADAMS. Vols. IandIL The First Administration of Thomas Jefferson. 12mo., $4. ‘Mr. Adams’ work, the first two volumes of which are now published, will be completed in eight volumes and will embrace the two admiuistrations of Jefferson and the two following of Madison, from 1801 to 1817. The author has gone to original sources for his infor- mation, to governmental archives in London, Paris and Madrid, as well as in Washington, The larger part of the documents found abroad had never before been consulted, aud the new discoveries found therein greatly increase the importance and interest of the work. The style is fresh and virile, the treatment dige nified, scholarly and essentially popular. GOODHOLME’s DOMESTIC CYCLOPEDIA of Practical Information. With nearly 400 illustra- tions.
