A Local Enterprise.

The Home Indultrial Aid Associ-
alton should be n public Institu-
tion. 1t is Incorporated to promote
and protect home industry, devel-
ope the resources of the city and
county and give employment to
the honest and Industrious poor.
Its capital stock is $4,000 divided
into 5000 shares of one dollar each.
They are fixed at this low valua-
tion in the hope that every person
will lake one and thus make the
society and its operations objects of
universal and public interest
Its Directors are some of our best
and most respected citizens; honest
men and true.
Believing that in this favored
section manufactures are urgently
needed, which, while utilizing and
rendering valuable many of its
surplus products, will give employ.
nlent to the idle. bread to the hun
CRY and render smiling and happy
many sad and poverty-stricken
homes, the Association earnestly
entreats cooperation and assist
aDce in movement that may have
the effect of establishing one or
more in this city.
The company has already COM
menced in small way the busi-
ness of canning fruits and vegeta-
bles, on Commercial street, in the
building formerly occupied as the
Mcdonald restaurant, which SUBJ
scribers and the public generally
are cordially invited to visit; the
former may see what is being done
with their money, and the latter
may be induced to lend a helping
hand. Both will witness lively
and encouraging scene.
Mr.. Butts, the patentee and pro-
prietor of Butts's dryer, having
made a very favorable proposition
to sell, the Directors resolved to
purchase one of his dryers, and it
is expected here to be in operation
in the course of the next ten days.
Visitors at the Horticultural Fair
will doubtless remember the
model of this machine and
the beautiful specimens of
its products. Both were awarded
premiums by the committee
and the former comes highly rec
commended from other quarters.
But favorable as is the proposition,
it calls for $500 cash, and to raise
this amount contributions from
our fellow-citizens are needed. BY
clause in its constitution, paid-up
shares are made unassessable. AS
far as the laws of the State will
permit, the Association intends to
keep them. so under all circum-
stances except those of unavoida-
BILE misfortune.
Trusting that the goodness of the
object may be appreciated and
feeling the necessity of prompt
and substantial aid, subscriptions
are respectfully solicited.

President.

CLEAR AS DAY.

One of the noticeable features of
the light when fully turned on was
that all the colors could be dis
tinguished as readily as by sun
light.
"When do you expect to have the
invention completed, Mr.. Edison?n
asked the reporter.
1.-THE substance of il is all right |
now," Unanswered, putting the APP
paratus away and turning on the |
gas. "But there are the usual
little details that must be attended
to before it goes to the public. For
instance, We have got to devise
some arrangement for registering
"a sort of meter; and, again, there
are several different forms that we
are experimenting on now in order
to select the best"
"Are the lights to be all of the
same degree of brilliancy?"
"All the same"
| "Have you run across any serl-
Gus difficulties in it as yet?
"Well, no. replied the inven-
tor, "and that's what worries me,
for in the telephone | found ABOUT
thousand obstacles, and so in the
quadruplex. 1 worked on both
over two years before l overcame
them"
Mr.. Bachelor, the Professors
assistant, who here joined in the
conversation, said: "Many time
Mr.. Edison sat down, almost on the
point of giving up the telephone as
a lost job, but at the last nome
he would see light"
| THE SIMPLEST OF ALL.
"Of all the things that we have
discovered this is about the simp-
lest" continued Mr.. Edison, "and
the public will say so when il is ex-
planned. We have got it pretty
we'll advanced now, but there are
some few Improvements | have in
my mind. You see it's got { o be so
fixed that it can't get out of order.
Suppose where one light only is
p employed 1t got out of order once a
year, where two were used it would
get out of order twice year, and

!, can see that there would be much
trouble in looking after them
| Therefore, when the light leaves

, such shape that it can't get out ol

O some accident"
Leaving Mr.. Edison to continue
his work, the reporter accepted the
invitation of Mr.. Griffen, his pri
. vate secretary, to view the general
g ing machine.
: "Mr. Edison has just purchased {
