IT will be recollected that about year
ago a widow named Oliver brought suit
against the Hon. Simon Cameron for a
breach of marriage promise Nothing has
been publicly known concerning this suit
until the 2Sth ult. 1t now appears by a

How ARENAS w ard Wrote.

A friend of ARENAS Wards, who was
with him on the Cleveland Plaindealer
for some time, says he used to be inces-
sanity whiting his chair and desk His
manner of writing was as peculiar as
everything else about the man. His
mission in life seemed to be to hunt up
funny things. When he found them,
out of his own head or elsewhere, he
himself enjoyed them better than any
one else. As he sat writing, when the
funny idea struck him, he would laugh
with guffaw which seemed to shake him
from his. heels upward. He sat in an
armchair, always with his left leg swung
over the arm of his chair. When the
joke came, he used to pound the table
with his fist, slap the long, thin leg that
hung over the chair, and explode with
laughter. 1t was his habit to share a
good joke with his associates in the
office at once. He loved sympathy as if
he had been a woman, and seemed to
stand as much in need of it. He wrote
rather rapidly, and writing seemed to
come easy to him. He laughed nearly all
the time he was writing.

ing torrent more than knee-deep in one
of the great thoroughfares. Lines were
stretched along the streets to enable
people to keep their feet. Carriages
could not stem the tide, for great blocks
of stone came roaring down the hills and
smashed their wheels. Two men were
carried away and drowned in the street.
Many small houses were also swept
away. There is, however, this compen-
sation, that the street dogs were carried
off too. The storm lasted for five or six
hours, and in the evening the gas-works
suddenly went down, and Perc and
Galata were left in darkness Houses
here commonly use candles or petroleum,
but the streets and the shops are lighted
with gas, and in the Sultan's palace
there is nothing but gas. Hence the
sudden destruction Of the gasometer pro-

Outside was the roar of waters dashing
against the doors of the palace, the

Electric Light.

The first experiment with the electric
light in Berlin was made on the 18th of
November, in the new synagogue in the
Oranienburg street, before a large crowd
of people. In the courtyard of the
building a stationary apparatus fur
nished the light, which was conducted
over the roof into two of the five round
windows, whence the light streamed
down on the synagogue below. The eff
feet was astonishing. The light was so
brilliant that it illuminated the gallery
and the remotest corners. of the edifice.
The splendor of the light was vivid, but
not offensive to the sight. In compari-
son with gas, the result is as follows:
Gas, per hour, fifteen dollars; the cleo
trio light, one dollar for the same time.
The apparatus costs several thousand
marks. The synagogue was also lit DIP
outside by the electric light, bringing it
out as bright as day and producing a
most magical effect. Gas burned along
side of the electric light looked pale, and
was, as it were, thrown into the shade.
