Edison at Home.

Of the number of persons In the labo
ratory, remark principally the one you
may have thought of selecting, says Scrib-
her, from the informalitv of his appear
ance. The rest are but skilIful assistants
TO whom he is able 10 commit some exper-
iments in their secondary stages. 1t is a
figure of perhaps five feet nine in highth,
bending intently over some detail of work.
There is a general appearance Of youth
about il, but the face knit into anxious
wrinkles, seems old. The dark hair, be-
ginning to be touched with gray, falls over
the forehead in mop. The hands are
stained with acid, and the clothing is of
an ordinary, 'ready made" order. 1t is
Edison. He has the air Of mechanic,
or more definitely, with his peculiar pal
lor, of a night-printer. His features are
large; the brow we'll shaped, without un-
usual Developments; the eyes light gray
the nose irregular, and the mouth display
ing teeth which are, also, not altogether
regular. When he Looks up his attention
comes back slowly, as if he had been a
long way off. But it comes back fully
and cordially, and the expression of the
face, now that it can be seen, is frank and
prepossessing. 4 cheerful smile ohases
away the grave and somewhat weary look
that belongs to it in its moments Of rest
lie seems no longer old. He has almost
the air Of a big, careless schoolboy re-
leased from his tasks.

Colorado Mines.

A correspondent of the Chicago Tri-
bHnc writing from Pueblo says OF Color
ados prolific mines. From all that l
could see and learn from reliable sources,
| give it as my deliberate opinion that
the mines of Colorado have only just be-
gun to be developed. 1t may be doubted
whether even half, and perhaps not the
best Of them, have yet been discovered.
Ten years ago | was in Orc City, in Cali
tOrnia Gulch. The miners were doing q
moderate business, and cont nued to do
So without a suspicion, till within the
last few months, that a bonanza district
like Lcadville was hid away within three
miles of them. Last June a most Won
derful discovery of horn silver in large
quantities was made near Rosita, and so
in Ea9le Mountain, the San Juan districts,
and Mt. lincoln, Clear Creek, and in fact
all through these lofty mountain ranges,
for 800 miles north and south, and more
than half as many east and west, there
are doubtless mines which, if not equal TO
the COmstoCk lode, may in the aggrosste
furnish ten-fold more gold and silver
than that wonderful deposit. Important
discoveries are constantly made in the re-
duction Of ores, and good judges estimate
the product of the Colorado mines for
1878 at $1O,000,0OO. The mines of coal
and iron are Of fabulous extent and rich
ness. Coke of the best quality is made
from the extensive mines near Trinidad,
and nearly the entire eastern base of the
mountains for 800 miles is underlaid with
coal beds, some Of which are fifteen feet
and more in thickness. Adding, there
fore, her mineral to her agricultural re-
sources, all that is needed is people and
time to develop them to make the young
est at no distant day one OF the richest
states in the Union"

Journal Boxes for Steamers.

The advantages Of good lining metal
for 'ournal boxes and bearings have been
Gle rlv illustrated in the case OF the ship
GIencagie, one Of the tea clippers taking
part in the annual race from China so
London.
Last year this vessel lost the race by
about one day and half, and this was
attributed to the bad working of her bear
ings, which were this year reiitted and
lined with Parsons white brass and the
crank pin brasses were replaced by man
ganese bronze.
The result of this alteration, we learn
from a London paper, was that three
more revolutions per minute were got out
Of the engine. The bearings ran without
the slightest signs of heating, and the
speed Of the vessel was so increased
that she made the passage in rather under
two days less than she did last year, beat
ing her former successful competitor by
about one day.
Assuming the other vessels speed to be
about the same this year as last the actual
gain i'll the speed Of the GIeneagle in the
whole run from China, resulting from the
manganese bronze and the white brass.
amounted TO about two and half DAYS;
the passage from Woosung to London,
including detention at Singapore and the
Suez Canal, having been accomplished in
thirty-eight days two hours, said to be
the quickest passage on record. On ex-
animation in London the bearings were
found to be in the most perfect order, and
SO little worn that the vessel has been
started on another outward voyage.

4 Bird in 4 Balloon.

Miss Nellie ThurstOn made a balloon
ascension from Oneida, New York, the
other day, and after a journey OF sixty
miles, landed safely at Burlington Flats,
Otsego county, making the distance in
forty minutes. She took with her hum
ming pigeon from the Oneida communi-
ty, and when she reached an altitude of
three miles undertook to release it. Miss
Tnurston opened the cage, but the bird
would not fly. She then put it on the
edge of the basket and it Immediately
jumped down to the bottom and nestled
by her in a manner which seemed to say:
''Please protect me-
Miss Thurston said she felt sorry for
the pretty little bird, and dreaded to
throw it out, but thought she would try it
again and see if it would not 90 willing
ly; so she sat it on the edge of the basket
again, when it Immediately alighted on
her shoulders. She then took it in her
hand, gave it a gentle toss but instead of
starting for the world below, it sailed
around the balloon several times and
alighted again in the basket She took it
again in her hand, pctted it, and with
words of sympathy and assurance she
gave it a kiss, saying, "Birdie, you will
get home all right" ard the pigeon, as if
comprehending the words of Kindness and
assurance, flew from her hand and was
soon lost sight of. 1t did not, however,
reach Its home until the next day.

Farm Life.

1t is a common complaint that the farm
and farm life are not appreciated by our
people. We long for the more elegant
pursuits or the ways and fashions OF the
town. But the farmer has the most sane
and natural occupation, and ought to find
life swecter, if less highly seasoned, than
any other. He alone, strictly speaking,
has a home How can man take root
and thrive without landl He writes his
history upon his field. How many ties,
how many resources he has; his friend
ships with his cattle, his team, his dog,
his trees, the satisfaction in his growing
crops, in his improved fields; his intimacy
with Nature, with bird and beast, and
with the quickening elemental forces;
his corporations with the cloud, the sun,
the seasons, heat, wind, rain, frost. Moth
ing will take the various social distem-
pers which the city and artificial life
breed out Of man like farming, like di-
rect and loving contact with the soil. 1t
draws out the poison. 1t humbles him,
teaches him patience and reverence, and
restores the proper tone to his system.
Cling to the farm, make much Of it,
bcstow your heart and your brain upon it,
so that it shall SAVIOR Of you and radiate
your virtue after your days work is done.

Successful Business Men the Least
Hurried.

4 writer in Sunday Afternoon says
"When all the rich men have set up sta--
ucS everywhere in honor Of the industri-
Gus, | mean to beg enough money to per
suade some clever artist to execute q.
statue OF r1Ie lDuStrlouS man TO be set up
in the market place. 1t makes me laugh
and cry by turns to go into one of our
money streets and see thlc anxious men
and boys hurrylng up and down. One
would think that business and hurry We're
partners, but they are really enemies to
each other. The most successful men of
business are the least hurried. What
would not men give, il they could get rid
OF this perpetual hurry and drive, this
gallOping to the end Of g journey only to
mount fresh steed and galIop on the
next stage, the clatter Of the horses hoots
an accompaniment to all their thoughts
There is certainly something ignominious
in the confession which people are CON
stantly making, that they have no time to
do this or that ncedful thing, and that
they shall breathe more freely If they can
once clear their desk, or finish ths Job, or
wipe out this obligation. One comes to
feel that Time has been borrowed FROM
and that ones notes are perpetually ma
turing, while one makes a vain effort to
cancel them by giving fresh notes. We
turn round in a helpless sort of fashion
and beTate the age we live in with its
WhiZZing locomotives and its clicking tel
egraphs, as if the punctuality of railway
trains and the instantaneousness of dcS-
patches were not the very friends and
servants Of honest leisure"
