The political change in the administra on government does not affect the proKress of the American inventor, who beiug on the alert, and ready to per ceive the existing diiioiencies, does not permit the affaire of government to de ter him from quickly oonoeiving the remedy to overcome existing discrepan cies. Too great care cannot be exer cised in choosing a competent and skill ful attorney to prepare and prosecute an application for patent. Valuable in terest have been hint and destroyed in innumerable instances bv the employ meat of incompetent counsel, and es pecially is this advice applicable to those who adopt the "No patent, no pay" estHm. Inventors who entriirit their buHiness to this clans of attorneys do an at imminent risk, as the breadth and strength of the patent is never con sidered in view of n quick endeavor to get an allowance and obtain the fee.

THE CORPSE ODJECTED. Kicked tlio Conlii l.M Oir IVImn All WM Uoruly for tho llin-lal. Thomaa Kelly, a colored man, disap pointed n l;ir;re au,licn"e in Chester, I 'a., tho other day by refusing to tre buried when the audience wan ready to bury him. lie had been pi -bed tip for dead ou a wharf the nihl heforo and had been tenderly removed to the coroner's oillce to await an inquest and a funeral. When tbe undertaker eiune around the next day ho had the corpse put in an ice-box, while he went for a hearse and some mourners, and the preparations lor sepulture were nearly complete when Mr. Kelly kicked the lid from the box, (jot tip and asked for his over coat. Instead of rriviny tho corpse its overcoat, the Ilrooklvn i;a:,'le says, the coroner nnd other ol'iicial.s took to their heels, not that they were averse in prunting the dead man's request, but thai it was not in the usual order of things for dead men to make requests. Presently Mr. Kelly climbed out of the box and in plaintive language, punctuated with hiccoughs, went abouL town complaining of the indignities to which ho had been subjected nnd also of headacho. At last a"''ounts ho was still watulerinff around Chester terrify ing people by these remarks and creat ing a Htronir sentiment i:i favor of his recapture and burial. A pretty state of things Mr. Kelly is try-ill),' to establish! If he has a spark of consideration for the toolings of his fellows ami the fees of the coroner he will pe back to the undertaker and ask him to finish the work that be had befrnn. His refusal to be pul into his eotllu is a direct re flection upon the acumen of the police and tho personal qualifications of tho coroner, nnd, njruin, if his exnmplo should tic followed to any preat extent, it would create no end of confusion and lend to a vast amount of trouble with wills. Mr. Kelly should submit to be buried. ' A REGAL MOTH M-IN -LAW. Uuwu Yli-tnrl I's '1'i-e.i! nent of Her IIuiikIi-ler-s' I ? it .IkiiiiW.

WARD INSTUTUTE, 120 N. 9th 8L ST. LOUIS. KO. CHINESE SOLDIERS. Movfil Way lu Which They Receive Their Iy. The Chinese soldier receives his pay once a month only, and Chinese months, it may be remembered, lire much long er than Uionc wo are accustomed U) reckon by. (In tho eve of the pay day the captain of the company, together with his Bergeant-major, goes and re ceives the amount of money requisite to pay his company from his next superior officer, says the Cincinnati Kn quirer. This is not paid to him In jingling coins but in pure stiver, which, how ever, has been broken into somewhat irregular pieces. The whole of the night preceding pay day is occupied in weighing out for caidi man the required quantity of silver, and this occupation, as may bo imagined, iH a very tedious one, and only successfully accomplished by infinite care, for hero a pieco the size of u pin's head has to beelippcdoff, and t here a piece of larger dimensions has to he added to make up weight, ant any deviation one way or the other means the loss of perhaps a day's payor more to some poor defender of the ce lest ial empire. When the process of melting out is accomplished the silver is carefully wrapped in paper, upon which is writ ten the iiiuneof thi? intended recipient. On the following afternoon the com pany is mustered nnd the sergeant major divides the money, commencing with the tirst man in the company and going on to the last. When this divi sion is concluded tho question is asked in stentorian tones: 'llas anyone else a claim?" and the customary "No" having been promptly given, the men arc then dismissed. lOueh man now repairs to the nearest tradesman's shop, where he exchanges his silver. For one tael he receives one thousand small coins called cash, per forated in the center so as to allow of being threaded on a string, and, having received the proper amount, turns homeward with a cheerful mien, but nearly sinking beneath his burden. The private receives three and one half taels, equal to about nineteeen shil lings, monthly, out of which he has to provide himself with clothes and food, lint ho lives on rice anil his clothes cost but a trille.

A TUtPMNo dog is generally not half as trifling as the man who keeps him. Some fellows kick a horse every time thev enter his stall and then wonder why he docs not love them. Tub stalk of corn that grows the tallest and appears the most conspic uous nearly always bears a blasted ear. I'noutnAi.iTY is no sign i f generosity. It rather indicates a narrowness of both mind and heart too contracted to comprehend the real value of things. Ik some men would hoc with as much devotion as they appear to pray in prayer meeting they would not have nearly so much complaint to make of hard times.
