A fictitious cable dispatch of inor-
dinite length, purpOrting to emanate
from a staff correspondent who has
been sent across the seas to find Mr..
Edison, is an amusing jeu'd' esprit in
saunders Irish Ne,cS. When the
correspondent landed in New York,
President Hayes went tearing down
Broadway to the Battery in an open
carriage drawn by six crpam-colored
horses, and preceded by number OF
outriders in scarlet and gold, and a
squadron of a siege artillery in full
gallop. As they approached the
President descended from his carri-
age, saluted the correspondent on
both cheeks, and mediately raised
a cheer, which was at once taken up
by his party and repeated from the
Battery to the Central Park. The
President carried his guest off to the
White House, where they had birds
nest soup, bluetish, bread fruit piatf,
and oysters in every style. After
lunch the Pr sident drove the cores
pondent out without the artillerly)
to see the sights in the immediate
Observation-Disclosures Falls of Niagara,
theprairies, the Yosemite Valley, and
giant trees in Mariposa county.
When he learned that the freshman
had crossed the seas to talk with Mr..
Edison, the President urged him to
do nothing Of the sort. He remarked
that the inventor was hardly ever at
home, being generally at the patent
office registering some new discovery,
and besides he was so highly charged
with electricity that it was dangerous

remarked that the inventor was FIRE.

The trouble of the De- 0cratS will
culminatp when the new Congress
meets. Upon the towering burden
Of ciphers aud tissue ballots. there
will then be placed desperate South
ern plunge into the United States
Treasury. The Solid South is get
ting ready for the attack now. Its
leaders see in the organization Of a
Solid North a comnlete check to all
their hopes after the next Congress,
and they are declaring openly that
what they wish for must be secured
then, or not at all. The Southern
press openly advocates this idea, and
declares that the Southern members
must control the party action in the
next House. This means a grand
rush for claims and appropriations,
and coming just before the campaign
in 1880 it will serve as a most timely
warning to the country of what a
complete Democratic ascendancy in
the Government would mean.
