NV YORK, March Tt Herald to-day
says The first practical illustration of the Edi-
son electric light, as a system. has just been
gwen. For the past two nights his entire labora-
tory and machine shop have been lighted up with
the red light, and the result has been eminently
satisfactory In the machine shop, l25 feet long
by . feet wide, twelve of the new lights did the
work OF eighteen gas burners previously used.
The lamps were regulated so that each gave n
light Of eighteen to twenty candle power inten-
sity. The generator used was the ordinary
Gramme machine. The progress made during
the past two months by Edison has been quite
marked. The most prominent Of improvements
is one relating to the platinum and iridium coil.
BY a discovery, pronounced by experts who have
seen II as OF great scientific Importance, Edison
has succeeded in practically creating a new alloy
ono that possesses properties hitherto unknown.
With the new improvements he claims to be able
to furnish light at half the cost of gas.
BERLIN, March 27.-The ReichstaS to-day
unanimously adopted 4 motion in favor Of an
autonomous government for Alsace-Lorraine.
During the debate Herr Schneegans declared he
had adopted the Frankfort treaty ne a basis for

raine, and that he firmly adhered thereto.
Bismarck expressed his satisfaction at the
unanimity Of the House, and predicted from that
fact the success Of the project. Up to the present,
ne said, there had been only confidential negotia-
tions with the Federal Government. Bismarck
cOncurred with Deputy Hoenel that the Imperial
Sovereignty over Alsace-Lorraine and the respOn-
sibility Of the Government towards the Imperial
authorities should be maintained and, further,
that a certain degree of responsibility should re-
main in the hands of the Imperial Chancellor.

BRET HARTE IN LONDoN.-Bret Harte's first
appearance on the lecture platform in London is
said to have been highly successful. The NelgS
describes him as a man : about As years of age -
and speaks editorially of him as follows The
Americans arc of our own stock, yet in their
treatment of the ludicrous how unlike us they
are Mr.. Bret Harte's own vein is
much more English and less thoroughly Yankee
than that of his contemporaries. He is a disciple
of Thackeray and Dickens. Of all the pupils of
Dickens be is perhaps the only one who has con-
tinued to be himself, who has not fallen into a
trick Of aping his masters mannerisms. His
mixture Of the serious, the earnest, the pathetic,
makes his humor not unlike the melancholy
mirth Of Thaekeray and Sterne. He is almost
the only American humorist with sentiment"

The Load on His Mind.

Some one, a figure arrayed in white, with frills
around it's head and blood in it's eye, let him in,
and he lOunged with easy grace into the first chair
that went past him, after he had made several
vain attempts to seat himself on the piano. The
reprOachful figure of Mrs. BOsbyschell regarded
him with calm severity, and her icy silence
made him feel uncomfortable. Affairs were ap-
parently eliminating to a crisis, and he met
danger half way.

The Babylonian Cylinders.

Mr.. Conway. in Il recent letter from London TO
the Cincinnati Commercial, discourses as follows
on one OF the recent discoveries made from the
Babylonian Cylinders: &. IL is now a pretty
general African version Of the fall of man that
Adam and Eve were negroes. and only when they
had sinned and heard the Creator calling were
their faces stricken with that pale hue wine has
continued among the more sinful race. Il now
appears from the earliest tables on the subject
that there is more ground for this tradition than

established, and may bis will fall in the mouth
of the dark races which his hand has made"
This is the earliest allusion in existence to the
Biblical account of creation, and it distinctly
points to the first race being dark. This confirms
what Sir Henry Rawlinson said long ago, that
Adam meant dark race, in distinction from
sc Sarku,' light race; and Geo, Smith thought
that the account (Gen. vi OF the sons of God
marrying the daughters Of men, meant the Sarku
intermarrying with the Adam. 1t appears, there
fore, that when this Adam (not a proper name,
but meaning I" dark man y had sinned (the

The London correspondent Of the Chicago
Times, who is in the habit of sending very high
Iy~-colored dispatches, furnishes the following SEN
sational rumors : The telegraph flashes ugly news.
Russia is angry with Germany and Austria and
officially declares that the plague has ceased, and
requests her neighbors to remove the restrictions
on her commerce France makes Il strange con-
centration of her troops on the Belgian frontier.
Russian agents help TO revive report that Ger
many desires to annex Holland, creating quite a
panic among the better class OF the Dutch. 1t is
even reported that war is expected, and that
France will strike at Germany's power by taking
Belgium, and the latter Holland. Where there
is so much smoke there must be fire. Latterly,
Germany has been very imperious toward Holland.
The belief that England is having her hands full
in Asia and Africa promotes the expectation that
another attempt will be made to reconstruct the
map of Europe.
The Standards Berlin correspondent youches
for the truth of the rumors SO far as relates to
Germany and Holland. The Dutch papers are
full of exciting editorials.
There is an uneasy feeling in France Spain
and England are wrangling over commercial
treaties Italy is DISCONTINUED with the action
of France and England in Egypt and altogether,
Europe cannot be said to be settling down to
peace with honor, but is in an ~agitated, uneasy

SOCIALISTS VIEWS IN THE GERMAN REIcHsTAc.
BERLIN, March 15th.-ln his speech in the
Reichstag on Monday. Herr Liedknecht Social
ist) commended that Hoedel and Modelling, the
would-be assassins of Emperor William, were
not Socialists. The Socialists, he said, were con-
WINGED that the progress of history and the tri-
umph of their philanthropic programme could
not be impeded by the existence Of any single
individual. Their societies might be dissolved
and their journals suppressed, yet they would
cling to their tenets. The middle classes would
soon perceive that what they really ought to
dread was the Governments drill-and-barrack
system. If the Government could prove the con-
nection of the German Socialists with the attempt
on the lives of kings in Spain and Italy, he would
accept anti-Socialist laws. The Government
should itself be placed at the bar for imposing a
petty state of siege in Berlin rather than the
Socialists. Remaining seated when the Emperor
was cheered was no insult, but merely a duty
which the Socialists owed to their political con-
~victions.

y prolonged drought has brought the inhabit-
ants of the Philippine Islands to a state of star
walton, and their destitution has been intensified
by the rayages Of ~locusts, which have cleared off
the remnants of the maize and vegetable crops.
Many Of the people subsist on roots, other food
being unprOcurablc. In some districts the
streams and wells have dried up under the infu-
ence Of the intense heat and the want of rain.
The appearance OF swarms OF lOcusts, following
here, as IN India and other countries, on severe
drought, seems to bear out the theory that the
existence and multiplication of these insects are
favored b. dry weather.
