Will rebuffed and furious, buhol
the yacht, and he knew what it was
meant for.

So he went to his lodging at the
hotel and tied a wet towel around
his head and sat down to think it

Three hours after he made bis way
to miss Agnes cottage on tbe bluff.
and although the lights were out
save the servants' lamp in the kitch
en, he was undaunted. Tbe coach
man of the family had onr twwn n.
former servant of his own, and so he
rapped at the rear door. A a luck
would have it, the identical Michael
came, and Will drew him out into the
shadow and gave him a note for his
mistress.
Fifteen minutes later, a pretty fior-
nre stole down the avenue, and then
there waa a scene the historian has
no desire to disclose. 'On, why did
yon come here, VV ill t Why do you

You know there is no danger I would
not undertake for you. But bat-but

Then (hey strolled off a little fur.

he felt be must put a bold face upon

and held her tight until he bad fin

ran ou a gagen yard.
BUe waa pretty well frightened.

all, he had a smooth tongue and a

The Records of the United States.
Patent One exhibit innumerable
applications for ludicrous as wety as
impracticable invention. The time
and talont expended in devising some
machine, which it it supposed will
make the invontor fortune, would,
if applied to his ordinary daily labor
make him a thoroughly coupotout
mechanio and sooiira hit a romforta
ble livelihood. As a proof of the
truth of tho above remarks, a few
illustrations may be given. In 1870
the ownor of some beehives, irritated
by thq loss of his honey by tho bee
moth, anked for a patent for a com
bined henroost and beehive. He
had noticed that the bee moth trav
els at night, while the buny boe
works by day. 11 is desire, therefore,
was for a devioe that should admit
the worker by day and keep out tle
thief by night thus his ingenuity
effected the erection of a henrooet
pivoted upon a bocbive, provided
with gates. The bees were expected
to bo in their hivea just before dark
the hens lighting on thoir roosts.
were then to closo the gates of the
hive and keep them ahut all nitrlt
1 he early rising of the hone would
antomaticeUy opon tho gatos again
and roturn the beos their lionoy all

Anothor applicant nuked for
patent ngnt ior au nrtiucial moon
that should light each town that
used it without expenne. His eye
uaa oi wn ooon struck by tuo rauoa-
tion of the distant windows at sunset,
and how for light travelled. He,
tuererore, proposed A balloon for
each town sufficiently large to raise a
nuge roiioctor, tbat was to be boistod
every evening at dusk, about the
time the hens bod shut in the bees.
Tho reflection of tho sun's rnvs cast
downward upon tuo villago was euro
to light it throu' all the darkness of
the night Fortunately for himself
this inventor presented his applica
, ... ... .
tion turoucru a p item attorney, who
told him it was doubtful if it could
be obtained.
In tho fall of 1872 a eontleman
apiJiod for and reoeived a patent for
building houses on wheels and roll

Auoiuor geuueman applied lor a
patent for hoatina canals ly steam.
so that boating could go on in tho
winter an well as in the suiuuior.

was worthy of protection and gave
him his patent
Another annliod for a combination
of a clock and a bed ao ingeniously
contrived that when the clock strut'k

He claimed that this plan would pro
bably awaken the sleeper.
Another mventor from tho fron
tiers asked for a patont for a combi
nation of a cannon and plough. For
this purpose be filed tliroe applica
tions, making the elongated bundles
of tho plough hollow, so as to form
two cannon. Those were to to be
kept loaded till the guerillas were
after the ploughman, the cannon
were thou to bo fired the guerillas
shot down and the funuor tq go on
bis way rejoicing.
In 1870 a very ingenious oentle
man from the rural districts applied
for a patent to prevent cows from
switching their tails. He presented
two module one shaped like a bottle
around the end of which the cow
uiu was to be curled i tne other was
a square block with the hole through
the centre wherein tqe tail was to be
put aud tied in a knot, so that the
animal could not withdrew it

A novel Bnoclacle was. recently
witnessed in Detroit Michigan.
About a fortnight since a widow
named Gathner met an acquaintance
on the street, and said that sbe won
in a destitute candition, and had no
means af keeping starvation and
death from, her door. The gentle
man thus addrossed looked at the
woman a moment and replied that
sho was young and good looking
enough to marry again. Ta this
Mrs. Gathner answered that she hid
no objection to such an arrangment
but she had thus fur, boon unable ta
find a husband. "I'll sell you at
auction," replied the gentleman, "and
the only proviso shall he that the
highest bidder shall court you for a
week, in ordor that you may know
him.' The woman consented and
the sale was announced The auc
tioneer suited to the crowd which
assembled that he had known the
woman for years, and that he knew
her to bo industrious and of good
character, and then opened the sale.
Bidding was bvely and everybody in
great humqr. In the crowd was an
old bachulqr, named Jqglyn, and he
was the only one who took the joke

cents ta $5, and then raised to $3.
The auctioneer called on that figure
and the widow wag knocked down.
Joslyn handod her tbe money, agreed
to tho proviso, and left the crowd,
none of whom bat a thought that a
marriage would take place however,
after the terms of the proviso had
been faithfully carried out And

has found a good helpmeet, tha
bridegroom's friends say tnat he is
