ED1sON,s VICTORY.
MenlO Park Brilliantly Illuminated with
Electric Light.

New YORK, December 28.-The
Herald says the labratory of Edison at
Menlo Park was brilliantly illumi-
mated last night with the new electric
light, the occasion being a visit of a
number ofinyentors, personal friends.
Forty lamps in all were burning from
6 o'clock until after 10. The effect of
the exhibition was to convince those
present, who before we're skeptical,
that Mr.. Edison had in reality pro-
duced the electric light for household
illumination. No day is yet set for a
general public exhibition, but it is
quite probable that inside of a week
everything will be in readiness to be
seen by all who desire to visit Menlo
Gas stocks are still depressed,
with a downward tendency.

A Reminiscence of Hooker.
N. Y. World

N. Y. World
How it came about that 1000 Con-
federate soldiers cheered Justify for
Fighting Joe Hooker is explained
by the editor Of the Rural Sun Nash
vile, TENN, who wa a prisoner at
Rock Island, ILL.,, during the severe
winter of1S63-4. The General visited
the military prison one day, and all
the inmates were drawn up in line for
inspection. His keen eyes seemed to
scan every man from head to heel. as
he slowly passed before them, and at
the upper end Of the lines the party
halted. The general half-wheeling
his horse, lifted his plumed hat with
as much knightly grace as if they had
all been courtiers, and a soft express
sion passed over his face as he said.
Young gentlemen, | am sorry. very
sorry for you, and hope soon our diff
ferences will be settled, 80 that YOU
all can return safely home agar"
Simple as the expression was, il was
so different from those they had been
accustomed to hearing from the com
mander Of the prison that il touched
the hearts Of the ragged Rebs" like a
current Of electricity, and instantly
99OOthroats gave a lusty cheer for Joe
Hooker.
