Mr.. Edison seems 10 possess the quality
Of self-defense. In an article on the So
called g ~microphone'' Of Professor Hughes
of London, Edison claims that it is only an
elaboration Of his own discoveries and IN
ventions, and says OF Mr.. W. IL. Preece'
"the coadjutor Of Professor Hughes IN
this pretended invention =
Mr.. Preecc was in this country in the
early part Of last year, and visited my lan-
oratorv. l freely showed him the expert
ments / was tlen making, including the
principle Of tho carbon telephone. and the

graph, in England, aud kcpthim informed
by copies Of publications aud by private
letters, of my leading experiments, as he
ALWAYS manifested q great desire to be the
means OF presenting my discoveries to the
British public. | therefore regard the con-
duct Of Mr.. Preece in this matter as not
merely n violation of my rights as an m
ventor, but az q gross infringement OF the
confidence obtained under tie guise Oh
friendship.
1t is gratifying to know that Mr.. Edi-
sons reputation is such that lie will be
credited with priority Of the discovery OF
the sensibility of metallized carbon and
that the Hughes pretentions will not affect
his status as a patentee or his fame as a
scientist.

A PROVOKING MISTAKE.

NHY FATHER and mother both died
IVl when was still great awkward
boy and 1, being the only thing they
had to bequeath, became the property of
distant relation. do not know how
1t happened, but l had no near relations.
l was kind of waif upon the world
from the beginning, and suppose it
was owing to my having no family
anchorage that l acquired the habit of
swaying to and fro and drifting hither
and thither, at the pleasure of the wind
and tide. Not that my guardian was in
attentive or unkind-quite the reverse;
but he was indolent and careless, con-
tenting himself with providing abun-
dantly for my schooling and my pocket,
and leaving everything else to chance.
He would have done the same to his son
if he had had one, and he did the same
thing to his daughter. But girls some
how cling where they are cast-any-
thing is an anchorage for them; and
as Laura grew up she gave the care she
had never found, and was the little
mother to the whole house. AS for the
titular mother, she had not an atom of
character of any kind. She might have
been picture, or vase, or anything
else that is useless except to the taste or
the affections. But mamma was indis-
pensable. 1t is vulgar error to sup
pose that people who have nothing in
them are nobody in a house.
1t is no wonder that was always in
hurry for L must have had an instructive
idea that had my fortune to look for.
The Governor had nothing more than
a good deal lessened after his death by
the lapse of an annuity. But sister
Laura was thus provided for well enough,
while had not a shilling in actual
money, although plenty of hypothetical
thousands and sundry castles in the air.
1t was the consciousness of the latter
kind of property, no doubt, that gave
me so free and easy an air, and made
me so complete the master of my ac-
tions. How did worry the blessed old
woman how Laura lectured and scold-
ed how the governor stormed and
how was forgiven the next minute,
and we were all happy again as the day
was long, But at length the time of
separation came. had grown great
hulking fellow, strong enough to make
my bread as porter, if that had been
needed; and so situation was found for
me in counting house at Barcelona,
and after lecture and hearty cry from
sister Laura, blessing and kiss from
mamma, and great sob kept down by

Select Poetry.
HOPE.

Hope is life, and we who living
Having no hope, are as the dead,
Who in gloomy graves are sleeping,
While the sun shines bright o'er head
IT'S the source of all ambition,
IT'S the life of every scheme,
In II we see the future
OF every prospect, every dream.
Hope will cheer the broken hearted,
Soothing sorrow, curing pain,
IT'S the star of friends when parted,
For in It they meet again.
It Is that which makes the future
Seem pathway bright and fair;
Lifting oft poor weary mortals
From the depths of woe and care.
Hope is Gods great gift from Heaven
Radiance from higher sphere
Priceless boon, in mercy given,
Helping us to do and bear.

Little Danny ana His Dead Mother

I've just been down in the parlor to
see mamma. She's in long box, with
flowers on her. Iwish she'd come and
battle my head-it aches so. Nobody
ever makes it feel good but mamma.
She knew how it hurt me, and she used
to read to me out Of the little book how
my head would get we'll and not ache
any more some day. wish It was
S'''somc day. now. Nobody likes me but
mamma. That's cause I've got a sick
heal. Mamma used to take me in her
arms and cry. When asked her what's
the matter she would say, Il am only
tired darling" I guess Aunt Anges
made her tired, for when she came and
stayed all day mamma would take me
up in the evening and cry awful hard.
I Amt had any dinner to-day Mamma
always gave me my dinner and a little
pudding with sd, for Danny on the
top. I like to sit in my little chair and
eat em, Iwish mamma wouldn't stay
in the long box. I guess Aunt Agnes
put her, there. cause she put all the flow
er trimmings on and shows her to every
body. There amt any fire in the CRATE,
but I guess I'll sit by it and make believe
there is. I'll get my little dish and
spoon and play I've got pudding with
