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. .1 LGUSTA MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

The applicatioou for the jiatents upon many of tho greater and moTe im portant invent ions’ol the present century have been prepared by him. Messrs. Biiowis, CooMjis A Co., are thoroughly familiar with all the rules mid re gulations Inst ituted for the rapid 'transaction of business with the United States Patent Office, ami the gencial practice in the Patent Bureaus of vari ous European countries; aud this knowledge ren ders themcontiileut that their post experience, with their present unequaled facilities, enables them to elaborately an 'l ye* speedily prepare all tho docu ments required by law in applications for patents, and to promise their clients an absolute oertainly ofsuccespm theirjeffoite to,obtain,LeUers|Patent for inventions that ato really new and useful. Parti cular fare is given to the execution ofthe accurate drawings Which must always accompany every application for a patent, and they employ none but the mqsj < effi.cieiit draughtsmen. The best evidence of the'inanner in which Messrs. Bttowa, Coombs & Uo?s business is performed, is, that the “Amku ican Artisan Patent Aoencv,” dining the three years of its existence, has been the. most successftd institution of the kind ever established,. The principal offices of Messrs. BnoWN.Coo;miss & Co are situated at 189 Broadway .opposite John street. New York, in the most central part of the 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. tosr. M. 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.

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.

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 Special Notice. h/Kn* , ft K r ? o § - ‘w - i- _ I M -■ c s i -5 K a I i HI S 2 H g IS * * - - i IM 85 s O Rn ft.
