The bourse here was closed Thursday aftornoon for the rest of the week and throughout quiot prevailed, The tone was firm, especially for Austrian stocks on the strength of the report that the Austrain currenc; question was definitely scttled, tho government's docision in tho matter being for the resumption of spocie payments ob & gold basis, Bills authorizing the resumption ot payments will be introduced 1w the the Austrian ond Hungarian parliaments immediately after the zollverein commeccial treatics aro voted.

Ll GRAND ARMY MATTEKS, A Neb aska Survivor of the Mexican War—Other Interesting News. Fuevont, Neb,, De —[Special to T Bee.|—The ranks of those who fought in tho rebellion are being rapldly decimated, and soon the survivors of that war will be looked upon not ouly with veneration, but likewise with a peculiar interost. This is now true of the surviving avd scattered romnants of the companies ana regiments of men who enlisied in the forties to go to Mexico under Taylorand Scott. I'remont hus one interosting character of this kind among the few living in Nebraska. His nawe is William Martin, or “Squire’ Martin, as he is familiarly known. He is a hale old man, now nearly 83 vears of age, who recounts’ with exceeding vividuess, his exploits in the land of the Aztecs in thoso surring times. I enlisted at Detroit in 1847, said Mr, Martin. “There was ulways a good deal of daring and bantering in my nature. I uad not thought of going to Mexico until one day 1 met a friend of mine, an attorney, who was captaiu of an independont company, aud who bud applied to the governor for a commission as an ofticer in @ Moxican regiment. This application had been granted, and then my friend had shown the white featber by re fusing to go. I tola bim he was & d-—n scoundrel aud a disgrace to Lis country, and that I proposed to go myself if that was the way he was going Lo uot. And so 1 gold kegs, §.75 gold per quintal; in American,§2.75 gold per bbl. try, and fu threo days [ was with a0y on the way to the seat of disturbance. 'he captwin of my company was A. H. Hans: <com, a brother of “Jack' Hanscom of Omaha, undor Colonel ‘. 8. W.

The guns in the fort commanded a good sweep of tho field and cut deep gashes in the American runks, but our soldiers sWepL on up to the fort, dospite the onslaught scalod its precipitous height and captured it at the point of the bayo Martin, in @ hand-to-hand fight with & Mexican, wrested the sword from his antagonist aund now has this military trophy hanging on tho wall in his home, While stationed at Cordova during the summer of 184%, Cuptain Hanscom one day callea for volunteers He stated to the troops that Colonel Stockton had gone up from Cogdova to Orizeba, with a small escort of dragodns, for the purpose of conferring with Colonel Bankhead on some important maneuver and that while on the way ho had been hemmed in at & mountain pass by the Mexican guerrillas. Volunteers were wanted 10 go to tho relief, Martin was the first man to step up and offer his services, Soon a good force was on the w: to Colonel Stockton’s relief. Whilo approaching the pass and narrow defile 1 the wmountains where Stockton and his dragoons were be sieged, tho guerrillas began an assault upon the rescuers by rolling an avalanche of stones down upon them from the sides of the mountains oo either hand. Strange to say, nobody was killed, but it was bere that Mar- tin recoived a paiiful wound, from which he was ever after u cripple. One of theso stones crushed his left foot anda sent him to the hospital. This was after dark, but his company pressed forward and succeeded in its mission of extending help to Colonel Stockton. Martin’s experier.co in the hos- pital soon rendered him a valuable assistant in that braoch, In the latter part of June, 1848, he was placed in charge of the wounded which were sent back from Vera Cruzto Cincinnati, srriving at the latter p on the 4th day of July, when he was mustered out of tho service, * Mr. Martin has many recollections of Grant in the Mexican servic The first time he mot Grant was at Vera Cruz, whon he was a licutenant and,though then good soldier, as vet all unknown to fame. After the war thoy met the first time in Judge Clancy’s office at Detroit in 1551, Grant noticed that his comrade, Martin, was lame. He in- quired 1f he (Martin) was getting a pension Being suswered negativel ant_ said “You should make application; you may not need a pension now, bub some day you may wish you had one.” And so application was made and a pension granted. At first he got &5 per month, afterward $12, £16, £20 and $30, iving the latter sum for & number of R under the general pevsion act. In the 1ifty-first congress Representative Dorsoy introduced a special bill raising the pension to £0 per month. The il was passed by congress and this veteran has, since March 4 st been gotting 50 regularly every thirty days from Uncle Sam, “It was in the Mexican war that Graut was nicknamed ‘Fiank Movement Grant,’ " suid Mr. Martin, “Flank movements were invariably his tacties. During the rebellion when I would prophesy that Grant would re- sort 1o flank movements after certain battles and e would do as I predicted I was often asked how I knew be would do so. My reply would be that that was a habit he formed in Mexico. The Iast tune [ saw Grant was when ho passedahrough Fremont on his way home from his tour around the world. His traim was about to pull out of the depot when I saluted nim with, ‘General. it has been a good many years sinee we were together in Mexico.’ “He recognized my voice atonco avd called me by name. It wasa happy moment for me. ‘Not so very loug,’ said he, ‘we arc both boys yet.’ “Squire” Marum did not goto the front in the civil war, but remained at_home where he was engaged in tha secrot service. He is an intensely patriotic man and no Fourth of, July or Memorial day passes but his resi donce and his oftice (which ho maintained until within a year) are covered with flags.

Talvera, head surgeon of the Valpa- raiso hospitals, has sont » paper to tho Academy of Mediciue on the effects of the new missiles employed for the Maualichor ritle. The balls ara of course small and the arm is of the repoution cluss. From per- sonal observation of hundreds of soldiors wounded by tho modern projectile, tho latter, on penctrating tho fleshy parts, acts in tho senseof an antisoptic; alter thejpassage of the ball tho wound sell-closes within, thus ex- cludiug the air; the entrance and exit points lap together, forming a crust; hence, like Ithnuel's spear, the ball cures while it wounds. This was completcly proven in the case of balls that had cut their way through tho abdonien, the lungs, the legs and the arms. When a missilo comes in contact with 1 flat bone it passes through it as if a sheev of paper. In the case of long bones, theso are fractured into splinters as if pounded on an anvil with a hainner, The surgeon concludes that while modern balls wound a greater number of men, the wounas possess more chances of being cured than and Ariny Notes. ‘The Clay Center camp, Sons of Veteran: clected tho following ofticers: William I3, Carney,captain; John Hager,first lieutenant'; Jonn Crouse, second lieutenant; camp coun- cil, W.

To the fnventor the all important question presents ltself, “How can I securea patenti™ oud to this Tk Bre Bureau offers the fol- lowing explanation : Inventors as a class are not familiar with the laws under which lottors patent are granted, the forms and practice in the patent office at \Washington and the technical methods of casting specifications and claims to properly protect their inventions against infringers, yet the value of the patent and even its valigity depend largely upon the careful and expert preparation of the case. Specifications must be drawn to fully dis- close the invention, to distinguish between what is new and what is oli, and claims, upon which the value and validity of the patent depend, must be cast to fully cover the invention yet not to encroach upon pat- ents already granted. lure in either of these respects often renders the patent vaiue- less orvoid. The employment of counsel skilled in patent law 1s therefore usually a prerequisite to the proper prosecution -of a case and a grant of a valuable patent. Many inventors suffer the loss of benefits that should be derived from valuable inven- tions owing to insuficient protection by pat ets procured through incompetent or care- less agents, etc. r What Granted. Under the laws of the Uuited States let- ters patent are granted to any person who has invented or discovered any new and use ful ar., machine, wanufacture or composition of matter, ot has inventod any new or useful improvement thereon, Term of Patent. A patent is granted for seventeen yenrs, during which time tho owner has solo and exclusive right to make, use and sell tho patented invention, How to Proceed. Fore3) nomic reasons before making ap- plication to the patent ofice for a patent, the novelty and patentability of the inven- tion should be ascertained, because, if the nvention is not new or not patentable an unnccessary expense is ncurred by filing an application on which a patent can never oo granted, ete, The first thing to be dono is to find out whether or not the invention is new and patentable. For advice on the point it is necessary to seud to the bureau a ropgh or complete ora photograph of the invention, to- with a brief description thereof, setting forth the object of tho improve- ments, the arrangement of the parts and the advantages attained. While a modei is very seldom necessary, yet 1t is often of great assistance. The latter can be made of any cheap material, ard will be returned 1f a request is made to that effect. Upon receipt of tho data mentioned zuffic- fent to enable the invention to_ be understood our counsel will at onco examine thereinto, and will advise without charge what is the best course to pursue and will express un opinion, from their knowledge of the arts and patents already geanted, ns to the patent- ability of the invention. In this conuection it is recommended that the best und safest course is to have a special search made in the patent oftice to ascertain whether or not the fuvention has been herotofore patented. The advantage of such a search is that if noanticipating patent is aiscovered the application can be filed with u greater decree of cortainty. whereas if the invention is found to be old all further ex- penscis avoided. The costof a search of this nature is £, and with the report of the result thereof the inventor will be furnished with copies of such patents, if any, as em- brace his ideas. It is much better to have this search made in the outset before incur- ring any expense whatever regarding the ap- plication for patent, If1t s found that the invention is new avd patentablo the clientis advised to proceed with the filing of an_application for patent, and will then be requested to remit $15 to cover the first government feo and #5 in payment of cost of drawing, wiien one is necessary, As soon as possiblo after the receipt of this remittance tho specification of the invention will be curefully prepared and forwarded to the inventor, together with forms for appiication for patent ready for execution. Upon return of the latter the case will be promptly fiied at the patent office and notice will be sant when action is had there- o, and also of the nature of such action, ‘Lhe examining corps of the patent office is divided into thirty-two divisions, among which the applications ave divided according to the ofticiul classification. The condition of the work in the various divisions varies from one to five months in arrears. The Burcau Charges. Consistent with the spirit with which this bureau was formed, it is not intended to conduct any branch’ of the business on a money making basis, but it is proposed to do the work as near the actual costas will pro- tect the business from loss. Although counsel are retainod at heavy expense to the burenu, you it is the wish o charge in ordinary cases ouly tho minimum feo of $25. However, in cases requiring extra care, time and labor the feo will bo proportionatély increased, but clients will always be advised in advance should such increase of feo be found neces- sary.

Patents for designs aro grantea for the term of three and one-half years, the governmeut fee being 8103 or for seven years, the fea being §15; or for fourteen years, the fee being $30. The charge of the bureyu in such cases is usually §25. Reissues. A patent can be reissued whenever the same is inoperative or 1uvalid by reason of a defective or insufliciont spacification, or by reason of the patentee's claiming more thun be had a right to claim as new, providing the error bas arisen by accident, mistake or in advertence, ana without fraudulent intent, Tho government fee for a reissue is §0. Tho cost of drawing is #, and the bureau charge is usually §5, Great care must bo exercised in reissuing @ patent, because very often what little vahdity there may be in a defec- atent is entirely lost by procuring a ro- 1s5u€ which is totally invalid. Rejected Onses. "There are in the patent offico a great many cases which stand rejected, but which should bo allowed. This condition of the case may be due either to incompetenoy 01 the part of the attorney employed or his inability, be. cause of residence elsewhero than in Wash- ington, to wake the examiuer see the inven- tion iu its true light; and then, again, as often occurs, vases aro rejected on ' improper or insuficient grounds, \When so requested we will bave our counsel examine into any such case free of charge and advise as Lo the prospects for success by further prosccution, The client will also be then informed of the probable cost of completion Caveats.

Testimony will also be taken under our_dircction in uny part of the Unitod Stutes, While no speeific sumn can be sot down as applicable to all terference cases alike, yet the charges will always be as reasonableus possible, Infringements, The question whethor or not one patent in- fringes another is the very soul of all patent, litigation. The questions involved are many, and of the most intricate nature. It 1s al- ways & matter of such great importance that 10 one should ever glaim that another is in- fringing on his rights, or, likewise, no atten- tion should be paid to'the claims of infringe- ment by others until the questions involved are carefully passed upon by a reliable at- torney. For such scrvices the charses are always fair and reasonable, Forcign Patents, In addition to tho bureau’s facilities for attending to the incerests of its inventor-pat- rons before the United States patent oftice and courts, it is also. enabled to procure vatents for inventions in all countries of the world. In many of the foreign coun- wries, notably Canada, Eneland and Ger- many, vatents for inventions previously patented in this cowntry are looked upon with great favor,ard inventors ara there very frequently more. likely to realize protits from their inventions thun they are even in this country. The cost of forcign patents varies with " differcnt cases, but as a_ genor rule the expenses of procuring patents, cov ering all charges, is about as follows: Canaaa, £0; England, $0; Germany, $00; rance, $35; Spain, $40: Bolgiuw, $60.

When a patent appears in the Patent Ofice Gazette patentees are beset with innumer- able offers, solicitations, requests, etc., some pretencing to waat to purchase their patents, while others offer to take an interest therein under promise of procuring foreiga patents. The sole object of theso peopla is to obtain money from inventors, and they never mako the slightest endeavor to carry out their groundiess or worthless promises, Models.

Tue Ber BUREAU oF CLaiws, in dealing with the claims arising under the Indian deprodations act, has been successful in pro- tectipg a large number of subscribers aud others from oxtortion and loss. I'rom com- plaiuts that have como to it, howover, it ap- pears that many of the claimants do not un derstand their position undor tho act. At a time when there appeared to bo little chanco that congress would take up the claims or make any appropriation to pay them, they signed contracts with the Washington agents, promising from one-quarter to one-half thé amount to the agent in case the money should be collected. Tu view of this extortion con- gress insorted a provision in tho act aunul- ing all contracts.and limiting the agent's commission to 15 or 20 por cont. The claimants all probably understand that the agent’s commission has beon_limited by the law, but many of them, according to their own statements, do not understand that they are froo to do as they please about employing tho agent they hud first choson. Thay con siger that they aro still bound to employ the agent with whom they signed the exorbitant contracts whether they are satisfied with him or not. 1t was the inzention of congress to protect them at all points and they were loft on_tho passage of tho act free to” do as they plonsed and employ whom they pleasod. Section 0 of the act stated: “That all sales, transfers or assignrients of any such clsims eretoforo or hereafter made, oxcept such as have ocourred in the due adwinistration of decedents’ es tates, and all contracts heretofore mado for fees and allowances to claimants’ attorneys are herevy declared void, There could be no mistale about tho mean- iug of this.

Tt is like. wise o demonstration. if one was requirod,o he need of such un organization The revelations in regard to the Loomis agency which have been published recently go even furthorin the same direction. When # man sought for by the police for nearly a yoar on a warrant for embezzlement can sot up as a claim agent, flood the westorn coun. try with circulars and receive assignments for several million dollar’s worth of claims, it appoars that there is little protection for tho claimant whosonds to an unknown ropre sentative, The men who assigned their cla im to Loomis would have had small chance o their scoing any of their monoy if tha schemer hud boon given time to collect their claims. When such risks aro run and men who are not able to go to Washington and know no ono thore must hiro their attorneys at_hiaphazard, the need for a burean to pro- tect tho people and do their work at reason- ablo rates is apparent. ‘The approval with which Tue Beg enter prise is received by journalists and public men i3 as gratifying as the response of the public - Drs, Betts & Bets - Unrivaled For thelr success {n the treatment and cure of Syphilis, Gonorrhosa, Gleet, Stricture, Hydrocele, Varicocele, Piles, Fistula, Rectal Ulcers, Seminal Weakness, Spermatorrhoea, Lost Manhood, Errors of Youth, Excessive Sexual Indulgences, Kidney, Urinary and Bladder Troubles, Blood and Skin Diseases, Nervous Diseases, Chronic Diseases, Private Diseases, Female Weakness and Disoasos, Sexual Diseaces of every nature.
