Prof. Edison.

A writer in Edmund Yates's new and very interesting monthly, Time, des- cribes visit to Professor Edison, at Menlo Park, in which it is stated that Professor E. |" has spent $4O0, 900 in the last few years in experiments and re- searches, but his income from his in- ventions is enormous. The Western Union Company paid him $100. 900 for his carbon telephone, and as much again for the quadruple system. He is the owner of ninety patents of inventions, and receives royalty of $500 week for the exhibition of the photograph alone. His wife was lady telegraph operator, whose soft and nimble fingers attracted the shy students notice as she worked at her instrument. And the two little ones who crowd on to his knee when he comes home from work are named Dot and Dash, after the letters of the telegraphic alphabet. All this he tell' with pleasant, unaffected simplicity, at you sit with him far into the smal hours."

Fighting the Zulus.

It has been so frequently urged by the English forces in South Africa that if the little body of troops at Isandula had acted solely on the defensive, and their wagons been disposed in laager, :" the terrific massacre of the 22d of Janu- ary would not have occurred. Our readers will be interested to know what tln laager" means. The following de- scription will show : The ordinary wagon of the colonists in that part of the world measures eighteen feet in length of body, the average height, not including the tilt,' being five feet. On arrival in camp the oxen are |" outspanned," or unyoked, and the wagons drawn up lengthways, one in rear of the other, each pole resting underneath the wagon in front, so that the front wheels of the rear and rear wheels of the front wagon are touching. In this manner with fifty wagons circle of about 300 yards in circumference is formed, and within this area the whole of the oxen, some 2, 800, are herded every night, so that in case of attack. they are in the safest place and at the same time out of the way of the defenders. An outer circle of rather more than 100 wagons forms the actual defensible line of the laager, the inter- vening space between the inner and outer circles containing the hospital, cavalry camp, and all horses belonging to the column. The tents of the artil- lery and infantry are arranged as close as possible outside the laager. In front of the centre are the guns of the artil- lery, line of shelter trenches covering the front of the infantry tents. In case of alarm or a night attack the tents are immediately struck, the infantry occu- pyipg the shelter trenches, the gunners standing to their guns, all mounted men to their horses. Should it be found necessary to retreat within the laager, every man at once repairs to that wagon to which he has already been detailed, the guns being ruu back through tenn porary opening at the outer circle oi wagons. The strength of such posi- | tion is obvious.

see the supremacy of the Constitution

see the supremacy of the Constitution replaced by the omnipotence of any de- partRent of the Government
 The enactment of this bill into law will establish a precedent which will tend to destroy the equal independt nee of the several branches of the Govern ment. Its principle places, not merely the Senate and the Executive, but the Judiciary also, under the coercive dicta- tion of the House. The House alone will be the judge of what constitutes 8 grievance, and also of the means and measure of redress. An act of Congress to protect elections is now the grievance complained of. But the House may on the same principle determine that any other act of Congress, treaty made by the President with the advice and con- sent of the Senate, nomination or ap- pointment to office, or that decision or opinion of the Supreme Court is a grievance, and that the measure of re- dress is to withhold the appropriations required for the support of the offending branch of the Government.
 Believing that this bill is dangerous violation of the spirit and meaning of the Constitution, am compelled to re- Luru 1G IO buo hOuS0 Ill WHICH It OTISl- mated without my approval. The quail fled negative with which the Constitu- tion invests the President is trust that involves @ duty which cannot decline to perform.
 With firm and conscientious purpose to do what can to preserve unimpaired the constitutional powers and equal in- dependence, not merely of the Execu- tive but of every branch of the Govern me1t which will be imperilled by the adoption of the principle of this bill, desire earnestly to urge upon the House of Representatives 8 return to the wise and wholesome usage of the earlier days of the republic, which excluded from appropriation bills all irrelevant legisla- tion. By this course you will inaugurate an important reform in the method oi Congressional legislation. Your action will be in harmony with the fundamental principles of the Constitution and the patriotic sentiment of nationality, which is their firm support, and you will re- store to the country that feeling of con fi1ence and security and the repose which are so essential to the prosperity of all of our fellow citizens.

The Horrors of Gambling.

A Monaco letter to the London Times says :-The stories of ruin every day, sometimes on good authority, are horri- ble. Fortunes, trust money, provision for children and widows, the sums &C., quired by the sale of commissions, sums raised on house and land, have disap- peared in few days or hours. Often it is the extravaganza of the companion that drives her victim back and back to the tables, deeper and deeper. But the the women themselves are the most reck- less gamblers. The common computa- tion is suicide a month, and there sometimes come three or four together. On the ramparts or the garden of Mon aco. there are several points from which ruined gamblers have thrown themselves into the sea three hundred feet below. Only the other day "lady threw her. self out of her third floor chamber into the road. There have been suicides in the rooms of the Casino, and one at the table itself. Having staked and lost his last franc, a gentleman stood up and drew, his pistol and discharged it in his mouth. For the reception of such scan. dals there is provided a room, handy for the railway, which passes almost direct ly under the Casino. Some inquest there must be, and it is performed by the ser wants of the establishment. But most of the victims go away and hide them selves, aud die like a sick dog in some corner, where they hasten death or let broken heart take it's course. It is inn possible to conjecture the total amount | of the annual ruin; nor is that an i'm portant matter, for the loss of a few hundred is as utter ruin to some people as tens of thousands is to others. When a man cannot meet his creditors, or even his wife and children, it is all over with him, unless he is devoid of natural feel ing and loss of shame. The mere ex' citement of days gambling has been known to kill people constitutionally
 weak of heart and head, whether they
 have won or lost. Ecstacy works the
 effect of despair in such cases. People
 have been known to go to Monte Carlo
 after being assured by friends and doc
 tors that it will be their death if they
 do, return home late and die in few hours. The attraction once given way to becomes irresistible. It is on this fact that the bank chiefly stands. If { visitor loses, he leaves the table ant there is an end of him. If he gains, h. always returns and plays till he has los
 everything.

The Story of Tim. Finnegan.

A stranger, says the Salt Lake 7Ta- bune, asked miner why a series of nineteen claims have the name "Tim FinDegan." The reply in the vernacu- lar explains the matter: "Well, stranger, it was at Prescott, an me an Tuscan Jake was playing game of cards jes' for the drinks, you know, when in comes one of them crazy, blood thirsty bloodhounds that turns loose in mining camps sometimes, pulled out his six-shooter and shot the barkeeper dead. Then, turning on me an' Tuscan Jake, he said: Now, either of you move an inch an I'll blow the top of your heads of! We know'd he'd do it. Thar was the barkeeper dead, and thar was the pistol pointed right at us. It was fear ful; we darsn't take 8 full breath. Jake's feelin's worked on him so power fully that he couldn't keep still he hitched round little. Quick as light ming bullet laid him at my feet. The sweat stood on my face like cobble- stones. I even wished he would shoot me an have it over with. Jes' then a pistol flashed behind the wild beast an he fell dead in his boots. Tim Finne- gan had got too much whisky early in the evenin', an stretched out on some barrels in the corner, an went to sleep. The shots that killed the barkeeper an Jake walked him. Bein' sobered by his nap, he, unbeknownst to me an the murderer, easily an gradually drew his pistol an sent the bloodhound to king dom come. I hugged an kissed Tim, an I've named the claims after him
 an if I die before my wife-Tim's g bacbelor--I want her to be named Mrs Tim Finnegan.

stimulate inc sluuxish Kidneys.

In addition to its tonic and cathartic prop critics, Hostetters Stomach Bitters exercises 8 beneficial influence upon the kidneys and ting them to exsrtion, thus reopening, as it were, sluice for the escape of impurities whose regular channel of exit is the organs of urination. Among these are certain ab- normal and infammatory elements, pro ductive of irreparable injury to the system if not entirely expelled. The kidneys and bladder themselves are also benefited by this stimulus, as their inactivity is usually pre- liminary to their disease aud Reorganization. They also experience, in common with other portions of the system, the potent inVigora- tive effects of the Bitters, which furthermore corrects disordsred conditions of the stomach, bowels and liver.
