now engaged in devising improve

"You may say this for me-" says
Edward II. johnson, an associate of
Edison, "after a long and intimate &C
quaintance, l allege that Edison is one
of the faircst and squarest men ever

men who are trying to avail them
selves of his ingenuity by slandering
him will be exposed and beaten"
Thomas A. Edison was born in
Milan, Erie county, Ohio, Feb. 18th,

years of age.

When Edison is in the thToes of In

Billy Can We Forgive a FelIer.

One day, three or four weeks ago,
a gamin, who seemed to have no
friends in the world, was run over
by vehicle, on Madison avenue,
and fatally injured. After he had
been in the hospital for a week, a
boy about his own size, and looking
as friendless and forlorn, called to
ask about him and leave an orange.
He seemed much embarrassed and
would answer no questions. After
that he came daily, always bringing
something, if no more than an ap-
pie. Last week, when the nurse
told him Billy had no chance to
get well, the strange boy waited
around longer than usual, and final
ly asked if he could go in. He had
been invited to, many times before
but had always refused. Billy, pale
and weak and emacisted, opened
his eyes in woDder at the sigEt d
the boy, and before he realized who
it was the stranger bent close tt
his face and sobbed:
Chilly, can ye forgive a Teller

The young lad, then almos in thu

Bob was half an hour late thl
morning Billy died. When tn,
nurse took him to the shroudeC
corpse, he kissed the pale face ten
derly, and gasped:
"D-did he say anything about
about me?"
"He spoke of you just before b.
died. Asked If you were here,
replied the nurse.
alp"
"You may"
And he did. He was the only
mourner. HIS heart was the only
one that ached. No tears were shec
by others, and they left him sitting
by the new-made grave, with heart
so big he could not speak.

a Issertera Horse.
Noah Brooks in April scribner.


In Scribner for April, Mr.. Noah
Brooks prints a number of new an
ecdotes of Lincoln, elected by his
Lincoln "reminiscences in the March
and February numbers. The fol-
lowing is one of them:
"a young gentleman in Tennes-
see was once travelling q country
road mounted on q fine black. ra-
cling horse of great value. His cas-
nal companion was shrewd old
fellow, who was known in those
parts as Yankee, and rode q rack
a-bones of herse, apparently hard
ly able to stand on his feet. The
Yankee bantered the Southerner
for 8 horse trade, which the South
ern Indignantly declined. The YAM
kee, however, insisted that his was
very remarkable horse, of what
was known as the setter breed,
which sets for big game SO dog
sets for small game, and that as an
finals of this breed were very scarce,
his horse was accordingly valuable.
The Yankee soon had an opportu-
nifty to demonstrate the truth of his
statement, as his had the popularity
of dropping on .Sall-fours when
touched IN q certain spot by the
spur or heel of the rider. The Yam
kee seeing a deer on knoll not far
away, touched his raw-bones in the
tender spot, and, sure enough, down
he went on all-fours, assuring the
Southerner there was game ahead.
hnECn -x=o kAl1 hA
Southerner that there must be game
near by, for his horse never set in
that way except when on the scent
of game. Immediately after, the
deer made its appearance to the
SoutherneF, who succeeded in
bringing him down, and so much
pleased was he with the wonderful
instinct of the horse that he imme-
diately snapped with the Yankee,
on even terms. Soon after they
came to a stream which the Yankee,
mounted on the Southerner's horse,
crossed in good style; then stand
ing on the opposite bank, he looked
back after his companion. The
setter horse had sunk, his head be-
ing hardly above water; his rider
was dismounted and nearly drown
ed. Reaching the bank and blow
ing the water from his mouth, he
exclaimed: Here, you internal
Yankeel what kind of q horse is
this to drop on his knees in the
middle of a stream p Hush hush =
replied the Yankee, keep perfectly
quiet. That's a setter horse; be
sets for fish as well as for deer, and

CONTRACT BREAK ERS:

We know of a farmer whose property Is
now advertised for sale by the Sheriff upon
bond made for q debt, in 1868, of $1,000.
Wheat that year averaged SO 5SH per

Greenbacks were at $1.75. The gold bug
financiers brought about contraction. A
neighbor Of the farmer we have referred to,
sold his wheat crop last week to help him.
1000 bushels of wheat were sold to pay the
debt. The money, when borrowed, could
have been raised by the sale of 3S4 bushels
of wheat. In gold the farmer received $571
