LA GRANDE DtfCIIE'SSE.
J Dramatic Critique, by the “Fat Con
tributor.'’ •
The Grande Duchesse At the National is
an orphan, without father and mother, or
parents either. She was a spoilt child when
little, and when she grew to be a Grand
Duchesse she was fully prepared to exercise
her prerogatives and have her own way.
Her prime minister, a prime old fellow,
named Puck, endeavored to arrange a mar
riage for her with Prince Paul, a weak
headed and thiu-legged scion of nobility
ifotn a neighboring State, but she delayed it
‘ from day to day, not feeling in any particu
lar hurry about it.
One day, at a review of the troops (she
had a small war on her hands), she noticed
a handsome young soldier, named Fritz,
with whom she immediately fell in love. She
called Fritz tt> her side, and lor fear that the
neighbors might make remarks about her
conversing with a common soldier, she ad
vanced him rapidly through the various
grades to Major-General of Militia. This
greatly enraged General Bourn, commander
of her forces, who was a regular army
officer, and a graduate of West Point.
He made some slurring remark about it,
whereupon the Grand Duchess got her
grand Duch up and suspended Bourn, ap
pointing Fritz to the vacancy. She made
Bourn shell out his epaulettes, Ins sash, and
his plume to Fritz—a regular bumb shell
in the camp, as one might say. She also
conferred upon the new made General the
title of "Baron der Over-dor Rhine Von
Lager beer, Count d’Switzerkaie-vint blona
saussage, Sclopp-em-over-derKopff I” Then,
as he was about to march away to the wars,
she gave him the “Sword of Bunker Hill,”
which belonged to her father, who fought
in the Revolution. At sight of the sword
the entire army unite in singing—
“ The toothpick ! the toothpick 1”
We almost forgot to mention that Fritz is
in love with a little peasant maiden of his
native village, named Wanda. She was at
the camp and witnessed her lover’s rapid
promotion quite apprehensively, fearful that
since being made a General he might “go
back” on his girl, as they major generally
do. But he assured her that in whatever
rank, and in all his wanderings, his heart
would never wander away from his Wauda.
In fact he looked upon himself as
“Prone to Wanda,” etc.
Fritz led the troops against the enemy,
whom he vanquished by a cunning piece of
strategy. The enemy numbered one hun
dred and twenty thousand men. Fritz
caused one hundred and twenty thousand
kegs of lager beer to be left out doors one
night near their camp. The enemy found it,
and before morning they weie all dead
drunk, each man having a keg of lager beer
in his system. Thus they fell an easy prey
to his soldiers. He then came back to relate
his victories to the Grand Duchees, returning
her father’s sword to her, which she ordered
deposited in Dr. Kerr’s museum.
The Grand Duchess was more in love with
Fritz than ever, and wanted to marry him,
and thus promote him totherauk of a Grand
Dutch. She tried all manner ol ways to
make him understand that she loved him
without telling him so right out, but Fritz,
the stupid dolt, couldn't see it. It is enough
to make one mad to see the fascinating
Duchess fondling him with her bands, and
caressing him with eyes breath, and dim
ples, and he, the great lout, so thick headed
and opaque as not to know she loves him.
If we were Fritz in that chamber scene,
Wanda might go to the deuce and we would
go for the Duchess, in spite of Offenbach or
Bateman I
The Duchess receives intelligence—
through the chief of her detectives —Her
Von Larihazen, that Fritz is secretly visit
ing Wanda, whose board he is paying in
the city. This inflames her jealousy, and
she joins in a conspiracy with his other
enemies to prepare him foe the cemetery.
But he was reserved for a worse fate—he
was doomed to be married. Let us not
anticipate, however.
The Duchess is very fickle. As they arc
about to arrange for the assassination of
Fritz, she falls in love with one of the con
spirators. named Grog, minister to the
court of Prince Paul’s papa, who had come
to urge her marriage with the Prince. She
loves Fritz no longer, and says he may live
and marry Wanda if he wants to, which he
does. The Duchess consents to marry the
Prince. Having acquired a fondness for
Grog, she naturally wanted to be where she
could have it bandy.
Fritz and Wanda are married. They
put up at the Burnet House, and arc as
signed the “bridal chamber.” They are
serenaded by the Newport Barracks band,
and Fritz makes a little speech to them
from the window, urging them to remember
the importance of one vote, and go for
“ short span.”
As they were about to seek that repose
so necessary to the health of young people,
the door of their apartment is rudely burst
in, and Prince Paul, Puck, Grog, Bourn
(erang),and party rush in with the intelligence
that the enemy, having slept off their beer,
were again in the field, and he must fly to
the rescue. It was a little rough on a bus
band scarce two hours old, but he prepared
to fly. (He ordered his horse, so of course
it was a horse-fly.) The “ Sword of Bunker
HiH” was brought from the museum, and
again placed in his grasp, when away he
went, followed by a burst of tears from
Wanda, and melodious bursts from the
orchestra.
The enemy was all in your eve, however.
It was only a trick to humiliate Fritz, and it
worked well. Bourn contrived io have Fritz
receive a caning from an indignant husband,
which he (Boum) had merited, and which
was awaiting him. Frilz retnmed in a sorry
plighl, uniform imiL d and torn, epaulet ten
gone, and the “sword of Buuker Hili’’
twisted into a coriMcreW. I’hc Duchesse
jarred at him and reduced him to the rank
*n a common soldier, Cetwntnting Boum in
command. Fritz h <mitent, and only asks
Io hut a district school loteaehthat Winter,
which is granted. He marches off gaily,
singing that, sweet operatic air :
“Goosy, goosy gander,
Where is iny Wanda ?
Up stairs, down stairs,
In the bridal chamber,” etc.

city. This location is one of very easy access by
strangers inasmuch as it is withiu a stone s throw
from the City Hall.' All inventors teni|iorai ily so
journiug in tho metropolis me invited to visit this
establishment. In|t he majority of inst Juice no model'
or drawing of an invention will be necessary on
the first interview, as a mere oral description by
the visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such
aknowledge of liis invention as willeuable Messrs.
Brown, Coombs A. Co. to definitely determine
whether a machine or process is new or old -paten
Lih'.e er not. The oiliiw hesu s are from It A. »i.

Messis. Brown, Coombs &. Co. are prepared to
furnish to persons residing at a distance from Now
York—free of i harge— written opinions as to
whether inventions contain any features of paten
table novelty; to do this they simply require u
sketch or rough model ofthe machine or other in
vention that is supposed to be new, together with
a brief description ofthe same, and assooii 6s pos
sible thereafter a letter ofthe best advice is mail
ed to the person desiring the information. These
opinions are formed from their own mature expel ■
ience.butif mi inventor desires to know, positively,-
whether his incipient idea lias over been embodied
in a machine or process already patented, his wisest
course will bo to have a preliminary examination
made at the United States Patent office by Messrs.
Brown, Coombs A. Co., who will make a special
seaicb>uuong nil the records of that institution, and
then promptly forward a full and carefully written
report as to the patentability of tho invention un
der examination. For this’labor the small fee ol
$5 is payable in advance; ami the remittance
should be accompanied by a sketch of tile invention
ami a few lines of writing describing the same,
ami distinctly stating those points of novelty which
the inventor deffires to have protected by Letters-
Patent.
Patents for new and useful inventions are now
granted for the term of seventh, n years The
first instalment ofthe Government Ice is sls, which
Bum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp-tax
on tho power-of attorney— is payable in advance,
on applying for the patent; and $-’!> additional are
due to tile Government when the Letters-Patent are
allowed. The Agency fee is from $25 upward, ac
cording to the labor involved; but in all eases onr
charges will be as moderate as possible iu t)ie pre
paration of drawings and all necessary documents.
This tee is not pavable until ufter the application
has been prepared mid the case is ready to be sent
to Wa.'-himiton. Messrs. Brown. Coombs■& Co.
have a branch, in Washington so that all applica
tions made through them can have every necessary
attention in their passage through the Patent office
Inventors applying for patents must, furnish
models of their machines, whenever possible, for
the insin etion of the Examiners in the Patent
Office ; but if the invention is a Chemical composi
tion, samples of all the ingredients will be neces
sary, Each of these should be marki-d with the in
ventor's name, then carefully boxed, and sent (by
expres«,prepaid),togetlier with the first instalmen
of the Government fee, to Messrs Brown , Uoombs
& Co. When the model is small and light, it can
be conveniently and cheaply sentby mail The
model must not exceed one fool in any of itsdimens
ions, unless it is of such a character that it is im
practicable.
Patents, except those for dosigiie. are granted
on equal terms to citizens amlnll foreigners,except
iiilnujitunts of Canada and ;oine others of the
British Ameriean Provinces.
Besides patents or new and USefii. inventions,
there are also granted patents for <icsigtrs.
Derieu pateiits are uut now. as formerly, limited
strictly to. ornamental cun figuration ; but. under
Section 11 of the Act of March 2, 1861. any new
/orm qfany article, ornny impression ~rfigure upon
the surface of any article or material, by wlmtever
menus or process produced, can be patented. Un
der this Act, patentees are entitled to the exten
sion of their respective patents for the term of seven
years from the day on which said patents shall ex
pire, upon t.lm same terms ami restrictions as are
now provided fertile extensions of Letters Patent.
Among the numerous subjects foi patents of this
class may be particularly mentioned —cant lugs of
all tuetals, parts of machines, household furniture
ami utensils; glassware, hardware of all kinds,
cornice s.HHd oilier interior and exterior decor lions
of buildings; also, designs for woven aud printed
fabrics, dress ami upholstery trimmings, and liar
ness labels and trade-marks for medicines, per
fumery, ami all preparntfons, compositions, or
merchamli e, put up in bottles, boxes, or other
packages, are suitable subjects; also, the forms of
such bottles, boxes, or packages thymselves, ami
envelopes, likewise all works Qfai't,as statuary,
busts, compositions In alto or basso relievo. The
Government fee on a design-patent for 3j years is
$10;.7 years,sls; If years, S3O. No models of
oesigns are required; but duplicate drawings or
photographs must be furnished- The epecilii ijtiou
to accompany the drawings or photogranhs re
quires to be prepared with .great e-are. Messrs
Bmws, Coombb A- Co. give very p*rti<*nler at
tention to this branch of their business. Their
charge lor preparing ajiplications tor design-patents
is generally about sls. Design patents uro only
granted to American citizcnsor to aliens who have
resided one year in the United States and made
oath of their intention to become citizens thereof.
The facilities of Meters. Baowx, Coombs & Co
for obtaining patents in the various European
countries are equal if not superior to those of any
otheßki the United States. With regard to their
qualifications for such business, it need only be
stated that Mr. Brown Ims had the prepare
lion of more European applications than any
otbei person iu this cooutry, Messis. Brown,
Coombs A Co., besides having a branch office in
Washington, have their own agencies in the
principal capitals of Europe. A circular relating
to foreign patent business will be furuiahed ires
on application personally or by mail.

I > EAD TIHJ FOLLOWING LETTER FROM
it Rev. It. Telford, Missionary in China, now
visiting his home in Pennsylvania;
Washington, Pa., Juue25,1866.
Messrs. Perry Davis A Son, Providence, R. L:
. Dear Sirs—During a residence of some ten
years as h Missionary in Siam and China, I found
your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable
remedy for that fearful scourge, the Cholera.
In administering the medicine, I found it most
effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then,
after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
spoonful oi the same mixture every minnte until
relief was obtained. Apply hot applioations to
the extremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain
Killer, clear and rub the limbs briskly. Os those
who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith
fully in the way stated above, eight out of ten
recovered. Yours, trnlv,
R TELFORD.
If an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery., or
Cramp Colic, ihm't delay the use of the Pain
Killer. Sold by. all medicine dealers. J’rice, 25
cents, 50 vents. alifl-$l per bottle.
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17, 1866.
Gentlemen— * • " I want to say a little
more aboet. the Pain Killer. 1 consider it a very
valuable medietne, wul always keep it on hand.
I have travelled a good deal since I have been in
Kansas, and never without taking it with me.
In nfy• practice 1 used it freely for the Asiatic
Cholera, in 1819, and with better success than any
■ other medicine ; I also used it. here for cholera in
1855, with goad result.
Truly, yours, ‘ A. HUNTING, M. D.
SwAto, Chin*.
Cholcxa J * * * I regret, to Buy that the
cholera has prevailed here of Into to a fearful
extent. For the last three weeks, from ten to
fifty or sixty fatal cases eych flay has been re
portqd. 1 should add that-the Pain Killer, setit.
recoutjy from the Mission House, has been used
with'eonsMerable hucctbs dnring'this epidemic.

Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel cumplaiiits Beein juat now to be the
piuviiiliiig element, and any medicine that is
everywhere acceptable, and’ftiat in reliable, U a
ve?y dcHirable acquisition. From what we have
ijcen. heard, and experienced, we believe Davit*’
PainyKiller is this desideratum. For the beet
nieih"»i of using it, we quote from the directions:
“For common bowel complaints, give one tea
spoon tnl in a fifilt of new luilk and naohisses, in
equal pains, stirred well together; lessen Uie dose
for children, according to the age. If the pain bo
severe, bathe the bowels and back with the medi
cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of
the cholera morbus, sudden stoppages, ete. Re
peat the dose every hour.
“The quickest way 1 ever saw the dysentery
cured was by taking one spoonful of the Pain
Killer in rone'gill of milk and molasses stirred
, well together and drunk hot, at the same time
bathing the bowels freely with medicine. Let
the dose be repeated every hour until the patient
i is relieved.”
If every person who has reason to fear this
disease would provide themselves with a bottle
of this medicine, and uw an occasion re<|iiire<l, we
believe a great amount of suffering and sickness
would be saved j- I?—2m
