money market there is a distinct prospect o
a decrease in resources. Bolero business
closed -on Thursday , .C.100,000 in gold was
drawn for Germany , and n further drain Is
Imminent. This withdrawal , combined with
the withdrawals usual nt the end of the
year for Internal circulation , has docrca-ei

will release largo amounts of money.
On the Stock exchange the week opened
strong. Dealings then were animated , con

close. American railway securities were es
pcclally sliong , mainly owing to Wall stree
support. Operators hero readily followec
the lead of New York and n largo huslnes

participated in the riso. Operators boliovoc
that every sort of business will benefit by th

BCIII.IV , Dec. 27. The bourse hero was
closed Thursday afternoon for the rest of the
week and throughout quiet prevailed. The
tone was firm , especially for Austrian
stocks on the strength of the report that the
Australn currency question was definitely
settled , the government's decision in the
matter being for the resumption of specie
payments on a gold basij. Bills
authorizing the resumption ot specie
payments will bo introduced m the
the Austriannnd Hungarian parliaments
immediately after the zollvercln commercial
treaties are voted. The Austrian government
al no Intends to abandon the florin and adopt
the mark as a tnonov unit to further facilll-

PAIUM , Doc. 27. Business during the week
was of a holiday character. Dealing ) yes
terday wore almost nil. Tha week's In

Credit Fancier , 5 } francj ; Klo Tintos , l1
francs. The feud of the official bouiMo par
quet \vlth the coulisses continues. The par.
quot demands the entire cessation of business
outside of official hours , n change involving
the suppression ot the petit bourse. The
coulisses will nnt submit to this , as th change
would result In the niln of many of them. If
the parquet persists In trying to suppress
the outsldo mnikot the whole question of
broilers' privileges , which are onpojcd bv
powerful enemies , will bo raised In parlia
ment. The report obtains credence that
Russia Is again feeling the way for n big

leaving the government no option but to

FIIKMONT , Nob. , Deo. 20 , [ Special to Tin ;
Bun. I The ranks of these who fought In
the rebellion are being rapidly decimated ,
nnd soon the survivors of that war will bo
looked upon not only with veuoration , but
llkowlso with a peculiar interest. This is
now true of the surviving ami scattered
remnants of the companies aim regiments
of men who enlisted in the forties to go to
Mexico under Taylor rtnd Scott , Fremont
has ono interesting character ot this kind
among the few living In Nohrasua. His
iiiuno Is William Martin , or ' "Squire"
Martin , as ho Is familiarly known , lie is u
halo old man , now nearly S3 years of ago ,
who recounts with exceeding vivldnojo , hii
exploits In tbo laud of tbo Aztecs in these
stirring times.
"I enlisted nt Detroit In 1847 , " said Mr.
Martin. "Thpro was ulwuya a good deal
of daring and bantering In my nature. I uad
pot thought of going to Mexico until one day
I mot a friend of mine , un attorney , who was
captain of nn Independent company , and who
had applied to the governor for a commission
as an olllcer In a Mexican regiment. This
application had been granted , nnd then mv
frlnnd had shown the white feutbnr by re
fusing to go. I told him ho was a d - n
scoundrel and a disgrace to his country , and
that I prorosed logo myself if that w'as the
way ho was going to not. And so I enlisted
in Company O or the First Michigan Infan
try , and in three days I was with my company -
pany on the way to the scut of disturbance.
The captain of my company was A. H. linns.
com , abiotherof Muck' ' Hanscom of Omaha ,
under Colonel T , B. W. Stockton. I well re
member the day wo started from Detroit ,
Wo were drawn up In line on Jefferson
nvouuo and were being addressed by Colonel
Stockton. Prcioatlnu uptUlrt wludo\v
near by wont * Up and n woman's volco rang
out wltli , 'William , never lot mo hoar of your
getting n bullet In your back.1 It was tny
wife who spoke. Colonel Stocktoi paused
and then said , 'boys let's give thron cheers
for Mrs. Martin,1 and they wcro given with
n will. "
Mr. Martin wciit-wlth his company to Uin-
clnmitl and thonrc , taking n steamer , was
transported down the Ohio nnd Mississippi
thence across thn Gulf of Mexico , landing at
Vera Cuoz. The company was engaged in u
good many skirmishes with guerrillas nnt
was also nt Ccrro'Gordo , Chcrtibusco nni
Molina del Koe , the latter boli.i ? n red-he
llirht In which < > JO American soldiers were
slain. Tbo guns in the fort commanded n
good sweep of the field and cut deep gashes
In the American ranks , but our soldiers
swept on up to the fort , despite thn onshuigh
scaled Its precipitous height nnd captured It
nt the point of the bayonet. Martin , In i
hand-to-hand fight with n Mexican , wrestci
the .sword from his antagonist nnd now tins
this military trophy hanging on the wall In
his home.
While stationed at Cordova during the
summer of HlS , Captain Hanscom ono day
called for volunteers. Ho stated to the
troops that Colonel Stockton had t'ono u |
from Cordova to Orizcba , with n small cscor
of dragoons , for the purpose of conferring
with Colonel Bankhcad on some Important
maneuver nnd that while on the way bo tint
been hemmed In nt a mountain pass by ttu
Mexican guerrillas. Volunteers were wautet
to go to the relief , Martin was the first
man to step up and offer his services
Soon a good force was on the way to Colone
Stockton's relief. Wb.Ho approaching the
pass and narrow dclllo in the mountains
where Stockton and hia dragoons wore besieged
sieged , the guerrillas boean an assault upot
the rescuers by rolling an avalanche o
stones down upon thorn from the sides of the
mountains on cither hand. Strange to any
nobody was killed , but It was born that Mar
tin received n painful wound , from which ho
was ever after a cripple. Ono ot Ihoso
stones crushed his loft foot and snnt him to
the hospital. This was after dark , but his
company pressed forward nnd succeeded it ;
Us mission of extending help to Colone
Stockton. Martin's experience In the hos
pital soon rendered him n valuable asslstan
in that branch. In the latter part of June
IbIS , ho was placed In charge of the Woundei
whicti woioscnt back from Vera Cruz to
Cincinnati , arriving at the latter place ot
the -Ith day of July , when he was mustered
out of the service.
Mr. Martin has many recollections of Grant
in the Mexican service. The first time hemet
mot Grant was at Vera Cru ? , when ho was a
lieutenant nnd , though then a good soldier , as
yet all unltno.vn to fume. After the war
they met the llrst tlmo in Judge Clancy's
olllco at Detroit In 1SIH. Grant noticed that
his comrade , Martin , was In me. lie in
quired if ho ( Martin ) was getting a pension
Being answered ncpativoly Grant said :
"You should make application ; you may not
need a pension now , but some day you may
wish you had ono. " And so application was
made and a pension granted. At first ho getS
$ S > per month , afterward ? I2 , $10 , JiO and $ : ! 0 ,
receiving the latter sum for a number ol
years under the general pension act. In the
Fifty-first congress Representative Dorsoy
introduced a special bill raising the pension
to STK ) per month. The bill was p.used by
congi oss nnd this veteran has , since March
I last , boon getting WO regularly every thirty
days from Undo Sam.
' It was In the Mexican war that Grant
was nicknamed 'Flunk Movement Grant , ' "
said Mr. Martin. "Flank movements were
invariably his tactics. Daring the rebellion
when I would prophesy that Grant would re
sort to Hank movements after certain battles
and ho would do as I predicted I was often
asked how I know he would do so. My reply
would bo that that was a habit he formed in
Mexico. The last time I saw Grant was when
ho p.isscd'through Fremont on his way homo
from his tour around the woild. His train
was about to pull out of the depot when I
saluted him with , 'General , it has been u
good many years since wo were together in
Mexico. ' Ho recogni/ed my voice at once
ard called mo by name. It was a happy
moment for me. 'Not so very long , ' sold
he , 'we nro both boys yut. ' "
"Squire' ' Martin did not goto the front In
the civil war , but remained ut homo where
ho was engaged in tfco secret snrvlco. He is
nn intensely patriotic man and no Fourth of
July or Memorial day passes but his resi
dence and his office ( which ho maintained
until within a year ) are covered with flags.
Ho is proud of his Mexican baJgt : , made
from some of the enemy's cannon capturei
in Chnpullapec.
Of Interest to Army Surgeons.
M. Talvora , head surgeon of the Valparaiso
raise hospitals , has sent a paper to the
Academy of Medicine on the effects of the
now missiles employed tor the Mnunlichor
rifle. The balls ara of course small and tbo
arm is of the repetition class. From por-
bonal observation of hundreds of soldiers
wounded by the modern projectile , the latter ,
on penetrating the fleshy parts , acts in the
sense of nn antiseptic ; afU'rthepassagoof ; the
ball the wound self-clos.es within , thus ex
cluding the air ; the entrance and exit points
lap together , forming a crust ; hence , like
Ithnuel's spear , the ball cures while it
wounds. This was completely proven In the
case of balls that had cut their way through
the abdomen , the lungs , the lugs and the
arms. When a missile comes in contact
with u fiat bone 4t passes through it as if a
shool of paper. In the case of long bones ,
these uro fractured into splinters as If
pounded on an anvil with a hammer. The
surgeon concludes that while modern balls
wound a greater number of men , the wounds
possess moro chances of being cured than
heretofore.

HOW TO SECURE A PATENT ,
Directions to Inventors Issnsd by The Bee
Bureau of Olnlmi ,
METHODS OF THE PATENT OFFICE ,
Tlie Course Followed by the Author of
nn Invention to Protect Ids
lllfjhts Ccm of Obtain-
! MK n Patent.
To the Inventor the all important question
presents Itself , "How can I secure a patent1 !
and to this TUB line Uureau olTcrs the fol
lowing explanation :
Inventors as a class are not familiar with
the laws under which lotto patent are
grunted , the forms and practice In the patent
olllco at Washington and the technical
methods of casting specifications and claims
to properly protect their Invention * against
Infringers , yet the value of the patent and
even Its validity depend largely upon the
careful and expert preparation of the case.
Specifications must bo diawn to fully dls-
rloso the Invention , to distinguish between
what Is now and what Is old , and claims ,
upon which the vuluo and validity of the
patent depend , must ho cast to fully cover
the Invention yet not to encroach upon pat
ents already granted. Failure In either of
these icspects often renders the patent value
less or void. The employment of counsel
skilled In patent law is therefore usually a
prerequisite to the proper prosecution of a
case and a grant of a valuable patent.
Many Inventors suffer the loss of benefits
that should bo derived from valuable inven
tions owing to insufficient protection by pat-
ets procured through Incompetent or care
less agents , etc.
Kor AVIuit Granted.
Under the laws of the United States lot-
turs patent nro grafted to any poraon who
has Invented or discovered any new and use
ful ari , machine , manufacture or composition
of matter , or has Invented any now or useful
improvement thereon.
Term of Patent.
A patent is granted for seventeen yonrs ,
during which time the owner has solo and
exclusive right to make , use and soil the
patented invention.
.How to Proceed.
For 03) nomic reasons before mauing ap
plication to the patent ofllco for a patent ,
the noveltv and patentability of the inven
tion should bo ascertained , because , If the
nvcntton is not now or not patontablo at
unnecessary axpenso Is incurred by llling an
application on which a patent can never oo
grunted , etc.
The lirst thine to bo done is to find out
whether or not tbo Invention is now ant
palcntublc.
For advice on the point it is necessary to
send to the bureau a ropeh or complete
sketch or a photograph of the invention , to
gethur with a brief description thereof
setting forth the object , of the improve
ments , the arrangement of the patts am
the advantages attained. While a model Is
very seldom necessary , yet it is often o
great assistance. The latter can bo made o
any cheap material , ar.d will be returned if a
request Is made to that olTcct.
upon receipt of the data mentioned : uftlc-
iont to enable the invention to bo understood
our counsel will at once examine thereinto
and will advise without charge what is the
best course to pursue and will express an
opinion , from their knowledge of the arts
and patents already goanted , as to the patent
ability of the invention.
In this connection it Is recommended that
the best and safest course is to huvo i
special search made in the pat rut olllco to
ascertain whether or not the Invention ha ;
been heretofore patented. Tno advantage of
such a search is that it no anticipating patcnl
Is discovered thd application can bo tiled with
u greater decree of certainty , whereas if the
invention is found to bo old all further ex
pense is avoided. The cost of a search of
this nature is $5 , and with the report of the
result thereof tbo Inventor will bo furnished
with copies , of such patents , if anv , as em
brace his ideas. It is much bettor to have
this search made in the outset before incur
ring any expense whatever regarding the ap
plication for patent.
If it is found that the invention is now ami
patentablo the client is advibed to proceed
with the filing of nu application for patent ,
and will then bo reejuestod to remit 815
to cover tbo first government fee and
? 5 in payment of cost of drawing , wrfon one
is necessary. As soon as possible after the
receipt of this remittance the specification of
the invention will bo carefully prepared
and forwarded to the inventor , together with
forms for application for patent ready for
execution. Upon return of the latter the case
will bo promptly Hied at the patent ofllco and
notice -vill bo sent when action is had thereon -
on , and also of the nature of such action.
The examining corps of the patent ofllco is
divided into thirty-two divisions , among
which the applications mo divided according
to the ofllciul classification. The condition of
the work in the various divisions varies Irom
ono to live months in arrears.
Thn Rurcaii Charges.
Consistent with the spirit with which this
bureau was formed , It is not intended to
conduct any branch of the business on H
money making basis , but it is proposed to do
the work as near the actual cost as will pro
tect the business from lo s. Although counsel
are retained at heavv expense to the bureau ,
yet It is the wish 10 charge in ordinary cases
only the minimum fee of ? J5. ! However , in
cases requiring e\tra care , tlmo and labor
the fee will oo proportionately Increased , but
clients will always' bo advised in advance
should such increase of feu bo found neces
sary. In dircclitiir Inquiries either to our
Omaha or Washington olllco please mention
the fact that vou read these instructions in

IPHljjn Patents.
A patent for a design is granted to any
person who has invented or procured any
now and original doslgn for the printing of
woolen , silk , cotton or other fubrica ; any
now and original impression , ornament , pat

An Interference is a judicial proceeding In
stituted under the dlioction of the commis
sioner of patents to enable' him to de
termine the question of priority of
Invention between rival claimants. The
bureau , recognizing the fact that extraor
dinary care nnd skill are requisite on thg
part of an attorney In charge of a case In in
terference , has at Its command counsel ore-
piired to conduct a cuso in Interference from
the very Inception down to a final determina
tion of the merits of the cause. Testimony
will ale bo taken under our direction in any
part of the United States. While no specific
sum can bn sot down as applicable to all In
terference cases alike , yet the charges will
always bo as reasonable as possible.
Inii iii c
The question whether or not ono patent In
fringes another is the very soul of all patent
litigation. The questions Involved aro'many ,
and of the most intricate nature. It is al
ways a matter of such great Importance that
no ono should over claim that , another is in-
frincing on his rlchts , or , likewise , no atten
tion should be paid to the claims of infringe
ment by others until the questions involved
are carefully passed upon by n reliable at
torney. For such services "tbo charges uro
always fair and reasonable.

attending to tbo incerests of its inventor-pat
rons before the Unitid ) States patent olllco
nnd courts , it is olsb enabled to procure
patents for inventions in all. countries
of the world. In many of the foreign coun
tries , notably Canaan , Enirland and Ger
many. patents for inventions previously
patented in this cvnrtitry mo looked upon
with meat favor.'jahjd inventors arn th'eio
very frequently inoie , likely to roaluo profits
ftom their inventioiiM than they are even in
this country. The cost of foreign patents
varies with different cases , but as a general
rule the expanses pf procuring patents , covering
oring all charges , is about as follows :
Canaua , $ "iO ; England , WO ; Germany , $00 ;
France , $ i > ; Spain , t'JO ; Bnlgiura , $ ( X ) . Ad
ditional information .regarding the cost , etc. ,
in any foreign couptry will bo furnished by
Jotter on application ! " In" nil such requests
mention bavin ; ; rijacltheso instructions in
THE BEE. fcjjjj '
. Iinportiint.AV'tirnlnff.
It seems remarkable' that in this enlight
ened ago it becomes tbe duty of every re
liable and trust vortby "attorney in patent
matters to advise -his clients to beware of
the many sharks who set out with the ap
parent Intention of defrauding inventors
immediately after the issue of their patents.
When a patent appears in the Patent Ofllco
Gazette patentees are beset with innumer
able offers , solicitations , requests , etc. , some
pretending to wa&t to purchase their patents ,
while others offer to take an interest therein
under promise of procuring foreign patents.
The solo object of those pcoplo U to obtain
money from inventors , and they never make
the slightest endeavor to carry out their
groundless or worthless promises.
Models.
As hcrslnbeforo mentioned , models are not
required in the patent olllce except in intri
cate or complicated cases. But at the same
time when nn invention can bo better ex
plained by a model It is well to send thn same
to us. A model should always bo of a size
not larger than one square foot , and in send
ing the same by express the charges should
bo prepaid and the box addressed to

THE 1X1H.ICls.inil. .
THE BEI : BUHEAU or CMIMS , in dealing
xvith the claims arising under the Indian
depredations act , has been successful in pro-
tectljig a largo number of subscribers nnd ,
others from extortion and loss. From com
plaints that have como to it , however , It ap
pears that inanvof the claimants do not uu
derstand their position under the act. At a
time when there appeared to ho little ohanco
that congress would take up the claims or
make any appropriation to pay them , they
signed contracts with the Washington agents ,
promising from ono-quartor to one-half the
amount to the agent in case the money should
bo collected. In view of this extortion con
gress inserted u provision in the act annul-
ing all contracts.and limiting the agent' *
commission to 15 or 20 per cont.
The claimants all probably understand that
the agent's commission has been limited by
the law , but many of them , according to their
own statements , dn not understand that they
are free to do as they please about employing
the agent they had first choson. Tlunr con
sider that they are still bound to employ the
ngent with \vhom they signed the exorbitant
contracts whether they are satisfied with
him or not.
It was the iiuontlon of congress to protect
them nt all points and they were loft on the
passage of the act free to' do as they pleased
nnd employ whom they pleased. Section 0 of
the act utatod : "That all sales , transfers or
assigncionts of onysueh claim * horetoforu or
hereafter made , except such as have occurred
In the duo administration of decedents' os
tales , and nil contracts heretofore made for
fees and allowances to claimants' attorneys
are hereby declared , yola ,
There could bo no'mlstnlco about the moan
ing of this. All clBfMunts had to make now
contracts with uecnlu after the passage of
the act , and tnoyvAta at llbarty to employ
any ono they plvusod,0 if they wore pleased
with the zoul and acts of their first iont
ihov might mako.pfiir , ( new contract with
him. If they wtruyrdlssatlspd they might
choose any other ngwit that they pleased.
Those who have iior signed now contracts
since the passage ptjtho net may profit by
this to secure. mucuT/ottpr / terms than they
could other wise got < 7roni the agents. The
tool that TIII ; BKRmniAU , : is doing the work
for the buro oxpen .lnvolvod 1ms had n good
effect in modoniting'Mio charges of all agents
to those who know how to protect them
selves. For these who distrust their ability
to cope \\lth the clnlra agents on their own
giound TUB HKK BUIIKAU U alwava open.

The organisation ol the now court of law

lounconient that Itm court will bold Its ll na
ession In that city on the 17th of November
tvo promise that ho | ong-voxod titles In the
western territories and state Will soon bo In
u fair way to settlement. The disputed titles
under the Mexican and Spanish grants hayo
irovod especially troublesome In Arizona and
\ow Mexico , They have delayed settlement
ana investment in some of the tairost lands
if the southwest , mid have provoJ annoying
n the districts farther to the north , After
nuch agitation and complaint uongrui a wa
nduccd at the lait session to provldo a court
or the consideration of this businott , and
" 111 soon begin to work.
The organiinlon of. tuli court elvoa TUB
BKK ftuitGAum-Ol.MMSnchnnco to extend Its
UBotuIituts. It will take claims under this
law nnd prosecute them for persons who do
not know whpm to cngngo tor the service.
The business entrusted to the bureau In
Washington Is being prosccutod with energy.
The Indian depredations patent , laud
mining and other claims before the courts
nnd departments are being pushed as rapidly
as possible , with no delays on nceunt or the
largo amount of business which has been sent
to the bureau. The largo amount of claims
Intrusted to Its carols n standing proof of the
CBtoom nnd confidence In which Tin : But : is
hold by the public which it serves. It Is likewise -
wise n demonstration. If ono was roquirod.o
ho need of such un organization
The revelations in regard to the Loomls
agency which have boon published recently
go oven further In tbo same direction. When
u man sought for by the pollco for nearly n
year on a warrant for ombuzrlomont can setup
up as n claim agent , Hood the wotern coun
try with circulars nnd receive assignments
for several million dollar's worth of claims ,
It appears that there Is little protection for
the claimant who sends to nn unknown repre
sentative. The men who assigned their claim
to Loomls would have had small chance o
their seolng any of their money If thn
schemer had boon given tlmo to collect their
claims. When such risks uro run nnd men
who oru not nhlo to go to Washington nnd
know no ono there must hlro their attorneys
at haphazard , the need for n bureau to pro
tect tno people and do tholr work at reason
able rates is apparent.
The approval with which THE BKH enter
prise Is received by Journalists and public
men is as gratifying us the response of the
public.
