The contrivance is so simple that he would not risk it in the hands of a lawyer to get it patented, but went to Washington himself.

When he returns from Washington w e can tell you more about it. While taking in the sights in Portland last Saturday night Charlie Martin was knocked down by three foot pads and re lieved of a watch.

Of the future of the negroes Mr. Har vey doea not entertain very bright hoie.
