If you will read our article through again you will see that your zeal
for the Bohemians has made you defend them before they were accused.

We stated that the governing of Austria is a very difficult task in
consequence of the three conflicting elements of which it is composed,
and explained the nature and grievance of each element.

You must not let your sympathies cloud your judgment.

INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.

By means of slot-boxes one may buy gum or postage-stamps, be weighed, or
have his picture taken.

A schoolboy of St. Louis has recently invented a new and practical form
of this popular machine.

The Martin paper slot-box is to be used upon street cars and railway
trains for the sale of daily papers.

It has separate compartments for each morning daily, with movable
name-slips so that the one box may serve for the sale of both morning
and evening papers.

Though small and neat, the box will hold forty-five papers.

By inserting a penny and pushing a button, any paper desired may be had.
The boxes are so arranged that five cents will be necessary to work the
button for Sunday papers.

The patent papers have been received, and the youthful inventor is
superintending the making of the boxes. As soon as a sufficient number
are ready they are to be given a thorough trial on the leading lines of
cars in St. Louis.
