There waB never a time in tlie history of onr country when the demund fur inventions and improvements in the arts and sciences Kenerliy was eo great us now. The oonvenienees of mankind in the fuotory and workshop, the household and on the farm, hh well as in ofiicinl life, require ooutinmil ucceBB'ons to the appurtenance and implimenta of eaeh in order to save labor, time and expense. The political change in the admimfltra- on government does not affect the progress of the American inventor, who being on the alert, and ready to per ceive the existing deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of government to de ter him from quickly oonoeiving the remedy to overoome existing discrepan oies. Too great oare cannot he exer- oised in choosing a competent and skill ful attorney to prepare and prosecute Bn application for patent. Valuable in terests have been lost and destroyed in innumerable instances by the employ meiit of incompetent counsel, and es pecially is this advioe applicable to those who adopt the "No patent, no pay" Bjstem. Inventors who entrust their business to this oluss of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the breadth and strength of the patent is never con sidered in view of a quiok endeavor to get an allowance and obtain the fee.

A poor, worn-out musician, carrying a violin which lie was too feeble to play, wan met with in Paris by three young btudcntH of the conservatoire.

Thereupon, says Temple l!ar, one of them proposed ii) take the old man's violin and accom pany the voices of his companions. Nc sooner said than done. Commencing with a solo upon th theme of the "Carnival of Venice," 0 large concourse of listeners was soon attracted. Then came a favorite cava tina from "La Dame llhmche," sung in such a manner as to hoop the audience spell-bound, and yet again the trio from "liiiillaume Tell." liy this time the poor old man, was galvanized into life and activity by the artistic performance, lie. stood erect, and, with his stick, di rected the concert with the authority of a practiced leader. Meanwhile con tributions of silver and even gold rained into the old man's hut. To his aston ished and grateful demand to know who were his benefactors he received from the first the name of Faith, and from the others the response of Hope and Charity. "And you do not even know mine," Fobbed the poor musician; "my name i ( 'banner, and for ten years 1 directed the opera at IStrusbnrg. You have saved my life, for 1 can now go back to my native place, where I shall be able to teach what 1 can no longer perform."

WARD INSTUTUTE, 120ft 9l!i St, SUOUIUO. THIS EARTH OF CURS. Its Af;e Acrnrili:i:j to the Uccllrrhes o. (IcoIokILh. (ioo1ot'is1s have ascertained that the i,iie at liti ii erosion isiucs piace enn be measured; by applying their scale to the sedimentary rocks they have formed tt hypothesis lis to the time which has elapsed since erosion began. The si rati lied rocks tit lain an average thickness of 1(10,0(11) feet. The material of which they consist was all washed down fi-otti high planes, deposited and left to KtrotifV. I'" ' ' " v-ti nt river nanus it. Is found that in places the surface of the land which has been carried down us sediment in rivers has been reduced at the rate of a foot in 7:1(1 years, w hile in ot her places, where the land was more stubborn or less flexible, it had taken tl.sou years to lower the surface one foot. The de posit must be equal to the denudation. We tind that while some of the sedi mentary rocks have grown a foot in 7110 years others have taken II, SOU years to rise that height. Tims the period of time that was roipiirod to build up 100, OOl) feet, of sedimentary l'ock has varied according to locality' from 7:1.000,000 to (IS0,000,000 years, it follows that the active work of creation lasted for a cycle intermediate between these two figures. The cycle varied with endless succession of periods of disturbance by volcanic force and glacial action, and the frequent submersion of dry land, alternating with the emerging of conti nents out of the seas. These may have retarded the growth of sedimentary rocks, hut they cannot have accelerated it. A study of fossils teaches the steady uniformity with which the work of cre ation proceeded. Since man began to observe there has been no change in the for ins of animal and vegetable life. A few species have disappeared not one new species has been evolved. Not only do we find the fauna and tlora of ancient Egypt as depicted on monuments w hich are probably 8,000 or 10,000 years old identical with those which are found in that country to-day, hut shells which inhabited our seas before the ice age and grew in an ocean whose bed overlay the Uoeky mouutuins are precisely the same species that are found in the bay of Monterey and the waters of the Chesapeake. It is evident that there has been no essential change in the con ditions of life since these animals and these vegetables weie lirst created, yet how vast the shortest period which we can assign to the gap Hull divides us from that remote epoch! int'ty-livo year a Jutrn.'

When Horace Greeley visited Paris in 1855 he was the victim of a mistake that Caused him to spend a night behind the bars of the debtors' prison of the Hue dct'lichy. A French sculptor had sent a statue for exhibition to the world s fair at New York, of which Mr. Grecl"y was one of the managers; the statue had been returned in an injured condi tion, and the sculptor took the method of causing Mr. Greeley's arrest to re cover damages. A friend of Mr. Gree ley, Mr. Field, went to the prison the next morning. W hen he entered the large common room in which the pris oners and their friends were assembled, the Youth's Companion says, he saw a singular scene. In one corner squatted a laboring man in his blouse, surround ed by his wife and children, who had brought him some delicacies for his Sunday dinner. In another corner lounged a fashionably-dressed young gentleman. The room was filled with the most strangely contrasted groupes. "Standing in the middle of it," says Mr. Field, "wearing his old white over coat, and with his hat on the back of his head, his countenance wreathed in smiles, flanked on either side by a United States minister, stood Horace Greeley. To refrain from laughing was impossible. " 'Field,' he exclaimed, 'this has been one of the most fortunate incidents in my life! Without it I doubt if I ever should have had the opportunity to see good society. You know I know noth ing about it at home. I have never as sociated with the. people who compose it there. I dare (say they are very good people, but they are not my people. Last evening at dinner we had a prince at the head of the table, an d I was flanked on one side by a count and on the other side by a baron. If I only re main here long enough I shall not only learn the French language, but good manners into the bargain.' " Of course when the case came up fo trial Mr. Greeley was released. clear!

Once upon a time, says the San Fran cisco Examiner, there ras s judg'e named Kedman, who presided over a big territory, which kept him racing from Santa Cruz to Salinas and San Luis Obispo. The Spanish population was the chief race to be found in that district, and Kedman knew but two words In that language, which were "No tiende, " and waa put to the neces sity of employing a court interpreter, who attended him in his rapid tour of the big circuit. It happened that a murderer was to be sentenced in Monterey and that an important trial must be attended, miles away, on the same day. Ecdman's in terpreter had gone off to a fandango in the wilds somewhere and could not be found when court was opened, and Ked man was in a fury of impatience. At last, when he could endure the delay no longer, he said to the man below in the dock: "Prisoner at the bar stand up!" "No tiende," said the man, shaking his head stupidly. "Ypu don't savey, do you?" exclaimed the judge sharply. "Well, do you un derstand this?" and he proceeded to gesticulate vigorously with his handa and indicate the motion of rising. The man finally comprehended and arose stiffly in his seat. "Prisoner at the bar, it is the sentence of this court that you be taken from the place whence you came on Friday, the 27th day of June next, be hanged by the neck until you are dead, and may God have mercy on your soul. Now, do you savey that?" The poor prisoner shook his head in a bewildered fashion, and could only cry: "No tiende, no tiende." "Is there anybody present in this court who can translate that awful sentence to this prisoner?" demanded the judge of the half a dozen of officials and spectators in the room. They were in the same boat as the prisoner, and could only shake their heads mourn fully. "VVell," exclaimed the judge, a bright thought striking him: "I'll just Bhow you, then, this way:" whereupon he un reeled a yard of red tape that lay on his desk, and, twisting it hurriedly about his own nock, held the two ends high over his left car, at the same time roll ing his eyes and wagging his tongue down against his chin. A dreadful groan went up from the prisoner and from the others in the court room. They understood the grim judicial kindergarten completely. AN AWFUL FALL, , (t III Two Miles, Hut the Falter Wu Not Hart. I The experimenter was Lieut. Mans field of the Koyal Naval Reserve, says London Invention. lie made his ascent from the Victoria gardens recently, sit ting upon a trapeze immediately be neath the balloon, to which was also attached a parachute of a new fashion. The whole rose to a height which ren dered even the big balloon itself scarce ly visible in the cloudless sky. It wat now, as appears from this brave sea man's narrative, at an altitude of eleven thousand four hundred feet, or mor than two miles, commanding a vas horizon, but tho voyager's hands wen so numbed that he was becoming un- V.la 4no 4V,- J-. ,1' . Lieut. Mansfield, "finding my apparatus all clear, I took tho balloon ring in my right hand, drew myself clear of the trapeze and dropped down into space." After descending with terrible velocity for some distance the para chute began to open. At ten thousand two hundred feet he was falling at a great speed, but was fully able to con trol the apparatus. At ten thousand feet he was sailing down calmly into space. Then he drifted to and fro in various counter currents, and at one thousand feet exactly felt the heat from a long, red, iron chimney. Now comes tho more remarkable part of the narrative. "Steering my parachute," he continued, "to the eastward, I dropped her rapidly to clear the buildings ahead, and, seeing nothing but houses to descend on, I selected the flattest I could find and dropped gently down on it." A spectator who watched the voy age from the gardens gives a vivid ao count of straining the eyes till he was just able to discern a tiny white speck on the blue sky. After what seemed a terrible length of time, Lieut. Mans field became visible swinging under the parachute, and working the valve lines so as to insure a safe landing when he choso to make it. "Such a complete master of the air," says the eye-witness, ; "has never been seen before in this coun try." The balloon fell, as was intend ed, in tlte sea, where, being fitted with cork belts for the purpose, it was easily recovered. Lieut. Mansfield, who looks for great advantages from his manage able parachute in naval operations, ha announced that his next ascent will b with an entirely new apparatus, sp cially adapted to military warfare, IN SPITE OF HIMSELF. su Amusing SimigglliiK- Story Related bf the Victim. The rector of one of the most fashion able churches in this city tells thii aimisinfr story nt his own expense, snyt tho Philadelphia Record. During a visit to England a year or so ago his mother, who lives there, asked him to take back to this country a small silver tea set and tome spoons, which wore family heir looms, and which slw wished to give to her married daughter in New York. Tho good rector said that he could only do so on condition that ho de clared the articles aixl paitl tho duty on them, but womanlike, his mother would not hear of Uncle Sam's bene fiting by her gift to her daughter, and so she continued to plead with her son to still the whisperings of hiscon Bcicnco and do this little bit of smug gling even at the cost of a fib. It was all in vain, however, and when the worthy man bade her good-by she gave him a motherly scolding about his un dutiful treatment of her, and hoped he would come to so regard his refusal and repent it as he ought, Safely landed in New York and at tho residence of his sister he accepted her otter to unpack his luggage for him, and was as com pletely overcome with astonishment as site was in finding a toapot in one of his boots, a sugar bowl in another, and the balance of the tea set and a dozen or so of spoons hidden in the pockets of his slothes. And by the next mail came a letter from his mother, which was tilled trith gleeful mirth at his expense.

The best remedy for this complaint is Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. "Last Sprlaft, I was taken down with La Grippe. At times I was completely pros trated, and so difficult was my breathing that my breast seemed as if confined in an iron cafie. I procured a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and no sooner had 1 began taking it than relief followed. I could not be lieve that the effect would be so rapid and the cure so complete.
