INVENTORS' AND PATENTEES'
Bazaar and Sales. Rooms
529 Chestnut St., Philadelphia
ym NO FEES IN ADVANCE.
The undersigned would respectlully inform the
public that they have opened an establishment
under the above title, where Inventors, Paten
tees ,and Owners of Patents are free to resort
for the negotiation of the sales of their Inveu
tion and Patents.
The feature of this Bazaar consists in this,
that Inventors, Patentees and Owners of Pat
ents and Inventions may transact their busi
ness and effect sales themselves, without any
Interference on the part of the Proprietors. On
such sales they charge no commission whatever
nor do they ask registration or like fees, nor
any commissions in advance, believing it to be
unlair to ask pay for services not yet rendered.
But II any of their Patrons desire to employ
them as their personal agents, for the safe of
their interests, the Proprietors will then charge
such commissions as many be mutually agreed
upon. The only charge made by this Establish
ment is for the Storage of Models and Machin
ery of all size, on exhibitions therein, as follows :
FROM TWENTY-FIVE (25) CENTS To ONE DOL
LARS PER WEEJC PER JilltiAßE Poor OF SPACE.
For this very small compensation the Models
and 'Machines are kept in good order and their
W orkings completely explained to the numer
ous visitors of the Bazaar and brought tbrward
to the best advantage, with a view to prepar
ing the way to eventual sales.
An experienced PATENT LAWYER and an
able CONSULTING ENGINEER, are attached
ct this establishment, thus enabling the u nde,-
signed to procure, at all times, the best legal and
practical advice to their Patrons, The Putrona go
of :On is respectfully solicitcd.

IEE BROKEN SA STORY
FOR BOYS
A boy went to live with a man who was
accounted a hard master. 310 never kept
his boys; they ran away or gave notice
they meant to quit; so he was half his time
without and in search of a boy. The work
was not very hard -opening and sweeping
out the shop, chopping wood, going errands
and helping round. At last Sam Fisher
went to live with hint. "Sam's a good boy,"
said his mother. " I should like to see a
boy now-u-days that had a spark of good
ness in him," growled the new master.
It is elways bad to begin with a man who
has no confidence in you ; because, do
your best, you are likely to Intro little
credit for it. However, Sans would try it ;
the wages were good, and his mother want
ed him to go. Sam had been there three
days, before; in sawing a cross-grained
stick of wood, he broke the saw, lle was a
little frightened. lie knew he was careful,
and he knew he was a pretty good saver,
too, for a boy of his age; nererthele-s, the
saw broke in his hands
`And Mr. Jones will thrash you for it,"
and another boy who was in the wood
house with him. "Why of course 1 didn't
mean it, and accidents will happen to the
best of folks," said Saw, looking with a
very sorrowful air on the broken saw.
" Mr. Jones, never makes allowances,"
said the other boy; "I never saw anything
like him. That Bill might have stayed,
only that he jumped into a hen's nest and
broke her eggs. Ile darti't tell of it ; but
Mr. Jones kept suspecting and suspecting,
aud laid everything out of the way to Bill,
whatever• Bill was to blame or not, still Bill
couldn't stand it, and wouldn't." " Did be
tell Mr. Jones about the eggs asked Sam.
"No," said the boy ; he was 'fraid; Mr. J.
has got such a temper•" "I think he'd
better• owned just at once," said Sam. " I
suspect you'll find it better to preach than
practice," said the boy. "I'd run away be
fore tell bite;'' and he soon turned on
his heel left poor Sam alone with his broken
saw.
The poor boy did not feel very comforta
ble or happy. ile shut up the woodhouse,
and then went up to his little 2bainber tin
der the caves. He wished he could tell
Mrs. Jones; but she wasn't sociable, and
he had rather not. " Oh, my God," said
Sam, filling upon his knees, "help inc to
do the thing that is right."
I do not know what time it was, but when
Mr. Jones came Into the house the boy
heard him. Ile got up, crept down stairs,
and met. Mr. Jones in the kitchen. " Sir,"
said Sant," I broke your saw, and I thought
I'd come and tell you, 'fore you saw it in
the morning." Mr. Jones: "1 should
think morning soon enough for to tell of
your carelessness." " Because," said Sam,
•' I Iva:, afraid if I put it ()111 might be
tempted to tell a lie about it. I'm sorry I
broke it; but I tried to be careful." Mr.
Jones looked at the boy front head to foot,
then stretching out his hand, " there Sam,"
he said heartily, "give me your hand.
Shake hands; I'll trust you, Sam. That's
right; that's right. Go to bed. boy. Never
fear. I'm glad the saw broke; it shows
the :nettle's in you. Go to bed."
Mr. Jones was fairly won. Never were
better friends after that than Sam and he.
Sam thinks justice has not been done Mr.
Jones. It the boys had treated him honestly
and "above-board" he would have been a
good man to live with. It was their con
duct which soared and made him suspi
cious. Ido not know how this is; I only
know that Sam Fisher finds in Mr. Jones
a kind and faithful master.

HOW DANIEL LIVEMIORE HT 2115 GOLD
He was born in one of the roughest towns
in all New England, and his father was ono
of the roughest of men. When the boy was
ten and his father sixty,:they separated for
ever. Daniel wanted to go to scnool, end
the old man would not let him. It would
cost money to pay the school-bill, and both
money a id trouble to board the teacher,
and so he ran away from home, and an
uncle past eighty took him in.
Dan, as the boys called him, improved in
his reading, learned to write, and did the
old man's chores so well that when he died,
five years after be gave him twelve acres of
land.
This gift awakened in die boy a desire
for wealth, and as land was the only form
in which ho had ever seen it, his thoughts
of course ran to that, and at sixteen he be
gan to work and save. He had but one
hope, and that was—a farm of 150 acres.
For ten years ho never spent a dollar, not a
cent except for clothing, and but a few dol
lars for that. I3is shrewdness all the time
grew apace. Ho did not lend his money,
to the best of men, without a mortgage on
real estate worth four times the amount
lent, and generally. as he grew older to
thosewho in he hoped, not being able to pay
would be obliged to sell - the land to him at
his own price. .I.t twenty-four, toughened
by nine years of unceasing work, he mar
ried a woman who for tour yeas, one even
ing in each week, had listened to the story
of his gains, and shared with him in the
joy of coining possessions. The day they
were married witnessed the expenditure of
the first dime for anything outside of food
and clothing, and that was five shillings,
sterling money, to the man who married
Hiring a farm,they went to work. Money
was scarce, but whet ever a dollar could be
got, there he sought it. Living forty miles
from an Eastern city, he carted coal which
he had previously burned, when he had
nothing else to cart, with a yoke of oxen
and a horse ahead, spending one night and
a part of another and two days on the road,
always carrying the food for his team and
his o and never spending a penny ex
cept for toll-gate fees, which he sometimes
escaped by passing them idler the middle
of the night. Ills one thought, in all his
work was, have something to sell; and
while his neighbors who owned farms were
only making both ends 111001, he paid his
rent and laid up money.
In six years he bought a farm and paid
for it, when the man of whom he made the
purchase delivered him the deed, signed
and sealed, his joy was boundless—he had
attained the first object of his early ambi
tion.
In process of time, lour boys were born
to this pair—children that mainly looked
out for themselves at six months, and en
tirely so at sixteen months old, spending
the long days making, mud-pies in the dirt
that begrimmed them, while it made per
petually filthy the 4orbidding doorway ;
until they were old enough to be helpful
upon the farm, when, like the boy in Bur
yitt's story of the English Natters, their lit
tle hands grew horny and hard, and their
bodies prematurely old by the incessant
work.
All this time, Daniel throve amain. Once
in about eight years ho doubled his acres
and doubled his money, "salted down," us
he used to say. His expenditures for be
nevolent objects were measured by those
fur objects of comfort and objects of taste,
and fin• neither of the last did he appropri
ate a dollar.
Money once his was always his. Ile
never bought his clothes even for cash, but
bartered for them what he could not sell for
anything else. Even his table was set in
the most meagre manner--potatoes,Johnny
cakes,and salt pork making up ninety-nine
one hundredths of his family food.
At length, at sixty-two years of age, in
the presence of his wife and his four chil
dren, in a house that had neither taste with
out nor comfort within, ho died, the owner
of more than twelve hundred acres of laud,
and with over seven thousand dollar.'

CLERICAL JOKE
Old Dr. Strong, of Hartford, Conn, was
not often outwitted by his people. On one
occasion he in yited a young man to preach
for him, who proved rather a dull speaker.
and whose sermon was unusually long. The
people became weary, and as Doctor Strong
lived near the bridge, near the commence
ment of the afternoon service, he saw his
people docking across the river to the other
church, lle readily 'understood that they
feared they should have to hear the same
young man in the afternoon.
Gathering up his wits, which generally
cane at his bidding, he said to the young
minister—
" My brother across the river is rather fee
ble and I know ho will take it kindly to
have you preach to his people, and if you
will do so, I will give you a note to him,
and will be as much obliged to you as ifyou
preached for roe; am' I want you to preach
the same sermon that you preached to my
people this morning."
The young minister supposing this to be
a commendation of his sermon, started ell'
in good sidrits, delivered his note, and was
invited to preach most cordially. He saw
before him one-half of Doctor Strong's peo
ple, and they had to listen ono hour and a
half to the same humdrum sermon that
they heard in the morning. They under
stood the joke, however, and said they
would never undertake to run away from
Strong again.
Tun Boston Traveler relates the following
anecdote to illustrate the power of the elo
quence of Wendell Philips :
"Some years ago—it was before the re
bellion—when Wendell Philips and others
were using every effort to abolish slavery,
there was a meeting in this city at which he
made an address. A Southern slaveholder
was present. and after listening a while to
the burning words of the orator,went out in
a rage, and resorting to the counting room
of a friend, exclaimed, ' I have been to bear
Wendell Philips speak, and such words,
such abuse, too bad The rascal deserves
to be hung, and if we had hint at the South
ho would be hung, and that right quickly
too.—Oh, it is too bad, too bad.' ilow long
did you hear him speak ?' asked the friend.
—• Why for more than one lull hour,' repli
ed the Southerner, and all the time he
poured out the hardest words towards the
South.'—' But why,' inquired the friend,
' why did you sit there so long and hear
such severe words?' Because,' answered
the slaveholder, • confound the fellow, I
could not get away front
A BRAVE GIRL
Our heroine lived iu Bartlett, New Hamp
shire, and was a decendant of the uld Craw
fords. Her father was a Crawford, and fol
lowed the profession of a guide among the
mountains. Her name was Bessie and she
was the only daughter remaining at home
—a dark-eed,y brown-haired girl, of slight
but compact frame, just entering her nine
teenth year. Her mother had been dead
several years, and upon her devolved the
whole care of the household.
One day, late in summer, Mr. Crawford
wont, with a party of travelers, away to the
head waters of one of the many mounntain
streams that empty into Saco, and Bessie
was left alone. Even the dogs had all gone
with the pleasure-seekers. Near the mid
dle of the afternoon, while the girl was sit
ting by an open window in the front loom,
engaged in sowing, a man came up from
the road and asked her if she would give
him a drink of water. Bessie had seen this
loan before, and had never liked his looks.
lle was a stout,broad-shouldered, ill-favor
ed fellow, and the bits of moss and spikes
of the pines upon his clothes indicated that
he had slept in the woods.
But Bessie did not hesitate. She laid
aside her work and went to get the water.
When she came back the man had entered
the room. She did not like this, for she was
sure he had come in the window; but she
handed him the tin dipper without remark.
The man drank, and then set the dipper
down upon the table. Then he turned upon
the girl, and drew a broad-bladed knife
from his pocket.
" Look ye, my young lady," said he '•
know there is money in this house ; and I
know you are alone. Show me where the
money is ! If you dont I shall kill you,and
then hunt it up myself! I'm in earliest,
and there is no time to waste. Don't make
a tins, for if you do, you'll feel this knife
quick!"
Bessie shrank back, and looked into the
man's face, and she could see that he meant
'tint what he said.
"HI show you where the money is will
you promise not to t 1.,) me harm ?"
•' Show mo, honest, and I won't harm
"Then come with me. But you will take
only the money—you wont take my father's
papers."
"Only the money, girl."
Bessie led the way to a small bedroom on
the ground floor, whore there was an old
mahogany bureau, the upper drawer of
which she unlocked. The man, when ho
saw this, thinking doubtless that Craw
ford's gold was within his grasp, shut up
his knife and put it into his pocket. The
girl opened the drawer, and, quick as
thought, drew forth a large navy revolver
—one with which she herself bad killed a
trapped bear—and cocked it.
" illian !" she exclaimed, planting her
back against the wall, and aiming the weap
on at his bosom, "many a wild beast have I
shot with this good pistol, and I'll now
shoot you if you do not instantly leave this
house ! I will give you not even a;-second !
Start, or I tire!"
The ruffian could road. human looks as
well as could the maiden, and he could
read very plainly in the firm-set lips and
in the flashing eyes—but more clearly in
the steady hand which held the pistol—that
she would not only fire, as she had promis
cd,but her aim would be a sure and a dead
ly- one.
And he backed out from the bed-room—
hacked into the sitting-room—then leaped
from the open window and disappeared.
Bessie kept her pistol by her side until her
father and guests came home ; and when
she had told her story, search was made
for the ruffian. But he was not found.
Our heroine had so thoroughly frightened
him that he never came that way again.
ANECDOTES OF DOGS
A dog belonged to a convent in France.—
Twenty-four poor beggars were daily serv
ed with a dinner, passed out to them
through an aperture in the wall by means
of a tour, or revolving box. There was a
bell rope hanging beside the opening.
Each beggar in turn rang and received his
dinner. After a time, the cook noticed that
twenty-five dinners were passed out. A
watch was set, and it was discovered after
the beggars had each received their portion
and turned away, this dog would go up and
ring the bell and get a dinner for himself.
The authorities of the convent, learning
of the case, decreed that the dog should
continue to have his dinner for ringing for
it.
Another case, related by a man who
saw it: A party of huntsman had to cross
a river—which they did by swimming their
horses—the pack of dogs all following, ex
cept a terrier, who dreaded the plunge. Af
ter looking on fur a time, with many dis
tressful barks, he suddenly turned and rau
swiftly up a bank till out of sight. There
was a bridge some distance above. After
a while the dog came running down the
other side of the river, and joined his com
rades.
Another, of a clog belonging to a grocer
in London : A pieman with meat pies was
wont to stop on the street before the shop,
and sell his pies to the passers-by—the dog
often standing by and observing the traflic.
One day the piematt gave him IL pie. The
next day, when the pieman came along, the
dog came out, looking expectantly. But
the pieman, shaking his head,said no. The
dog turned immediately into the shop, and
contrived to make his master understand
he wanted a penny. Getting it, ho sailed
out, carrying it to the pieman, and received
his pie.
There is one more anecdote worth relat
ing, that is not in the books: I had it front
those admirable gentlewomen of the old
school, the Misses It., long time my neigh
bors on the Passaic. They had a carriage
dog that commonly accompanied theta in
their drives.—Their course often took theta
across the river, over a bridge four miles
from their residence. The keeper of the
toll house had a big, surly mastiff, that al
ways sai led out and attacked their dog, who
was no match for him, and sometimes
Beaujeu suffered severely ; so that at length
he declined accompanying, them if they
took the road up the river toward the bridge.
The way through the lawn front their house
to the high road was nearly half a mile.
One day, when they came down to the gate,
they found the dog there waiting for them.
.A.s soon as ho saw theta take the up river
road he turned and ran with great speed
back to the house. In a very little while
he returned and overtook the carriage, ac
companied by a very powerful dog that or
dinarily kept about the house and grounds
and never Went With the carriage. The
two trotted along. side by side, following
the carriage, until they came to the bridge,
when the mastiff sallied out as usual. The
little dog then held back, and his big com
rade went at the assailant and gave him a
tremendous punishing, evidently to the lit
tle fellow's great satisfaction.
No person over got stung by hornets who
kept away from where they were. It is so
with bad habits.
SPECIMENS OF "YARNS" BY AN ILLINOIS
FARMER,
When I first came here in ISI9, those
oxen were steers. Stock was rather short
then, and I worked in the critters early.
Well, one day, Tennessee Smith down by
the Lillypache, had cut a red elm and it
got lodged in the slough, and none of them
dared venture out to cut it clear. So they
hitched on all the oxen they had and tried
to drag it up on the bluff. But with six
yoke they could'nt make it let go. Then
some one said, send for Spencer's steers.
When Mr. Smith's boy came I told him he
could ha,•e the steers, Charley, but no one
else drives them but me. So I yoked up
and went down.
When I got there I said, gentlemen, take
away your oxen, and they did. Then I
told them to cut a welt all round the log,
so that my chain would lie inside of it just
oven with the bark. Then I cut a slit from
his welt to the end of the butt, so that the
taut of my chain wouldn't catch in the ha
zel-brush. Then I put the chain round
and hitched on, and took up ,the whip and
just gave the critters a cheerful start with
the lash. They sprang to it and jerked the
log two feet, and then it stuck fast. Then
I yelled and put on the string, and those
two little fellows leaned into their work,
and just shivered a little, and then they
went like a shot for a yard or two and with
a long red stick behind 'em, and every
body shouted and then shut up their fly
traps and said not a word. For, gentlemen,
would you believe it, those two little bucks
had drawn the heart right out of that log!
Yes, sir; and if that Yankee don't believe
it, I can show him the same log to-day at
Jackson. The road commissioners took it
for a town pump. It was all bored for use.
I started one day with my span of greys
and load of corn to drive to Jackson, nine
miles to market. Brought back twelve
bags of meal and a barrel of flour. Well,
just as I got shut of town and had about
eight miles of Prairie 'twist me and Han
nah, I heard a rattling noise behind me,
and when I looked round there was a bounc
ing hail storm right upon me. I yelled at
the greys and flung my chaw of tobacco at
Billy, for he was the laziest, and we swung
along at what you Yankees call a good
Hiram Woodruff pace. I never quit yell
ing, and they never stopped running till
we struck Felderkin's corner, right where
you blazed that burr oak ibis morning.
Then I found the storm was over, and when
I looked to see whether the load was safe,
there were two bushels and a-half of hail
stones in the hind end of my wagon, but
not one of 'em on my sacks or on me.
Gentlemen, I had raced on the edge of that
hail storm all those eight miles home.
Now its my opinion that you couldn't do
that little trick to•day with any two horses
in Illinois, not if you soak their tails in
turpentine the night before, and touch a
match to 'em just as you say—Git out of
this !—Boston Advertiser.
FLAGSTAFF ON TEE FIELD OF BANNOCK
BURN.
A flagstaff was inaugurated on Saturday
last on the battle-field of Bannockburn, on
the site of the borestone where King Robert
the Bruce erected his standard at the fa
mous battle. The staff is built upon a stone
foundation five feet square, has a base of
cast-iron weighing newt., surrounded by
Scotch thistles painted green. The staff
consists of two parts. The lower, which is
of malleable iron, is about SO feet in height
and weighs three tons. The upper portion
of the staff is of Baltic pine, and being 50
feet in length, makes the total height of the
staff 130 feet. The staff is supported by a
galvanized wire rope attached to large
stones placed at equal distances around the
base, and is surmounted by a battle am.
The total cost of the staff is about £3OO,
which has chiefly been collected by the
Dumbarton Lodge of Odd Fellows, who
were the originators of the movement, as
sisted by the Stirling Lodge. On the occa
sastou of the inauguration, there were Ma
sonic processions, and gatherings of great
numbers of spectators from Edinburg,
Glasgow, and other places, excursion trains
being run'to accommodate the public.—El

ATLANTIC CA,BL'L RITAIRED
The cable of ISGG, of the Anglo-American
Company, which has been interrupted for
some months past, has been repaired, and
is found to be excellent condition. Much
surprise has been expressed that this cable
was not sooner repaired, the location of the
break having been well known. The cause
of the delay was that the company had to
construct a steamer, the Robert Lowe, for
the purpose of repairing such faults, and.
the stormy character of the coast of New
foundland necessitates long waiting after
the cable is raised and the ends buoyed, un
til a time is found when the sea is suffi
ciently calm to permit a splice to be made
The European war has created an im
mense business for the cables, and the re
storation of the cable at this time is very
opportune, and greatly facilitates the trans
mission of business.
The Robert Lowe will at once proceed to
repair the break in the French cable oil St.
Pierre, and we shall soon have the three ca
bles connecting this country with Europe
in good working order.— The Telegrapher.
