heart-bunings in good humor and well

indulge in fair and honest criticism.
Eight o'clock was the hour designated, and
the wcll-known punctua1 habits of the bride 5

fused into the young pair, for Mt three min
utcs past the hour they entered the church
unattended and alone, the parents and friends
having already been seated, and passing up

A BANKRUPT NEGoTIATEs MILLIONS
OF DoLIARs.-Thc Toledo Bee has a
correspondent, who says: "About four
weeks ago, noticed in he Salt Lake
Tribune, that Jay Cooke, with party of
capitalists, was in Utah and negotiating
for the purchase of the Horn Silver Mine
at 100000. At the time | supposed
the name was misprint, and that it was
mean tor Jay Gould. Meeting a San
dusky gentleman the same day, called
his attention to the article, and he in-
tormt d me the name was correct. Re
mnding him that Cooke was in bank
ruptcy, he smiled and said, notwi,hstand.
ing such was the case, that, nevertheless
he was one of the owners of the First
National Bank of New York, and coult
command an unlimited amount O
money. When it is remembered tha
Cooke and John Sherman have beer
lifelong friends, is it not reasonable t,
suppose that Sherman also has all inter
est in the said bank, and will not thi
accoun, for the extraordinary tavoritisn
shown the First National Bank of New
York in the way of deposits, which en-
able the bank to realize hundreds O
thousands of dollars in interest on more

At least Mr.. Edison has not vet publicIv
demonstrated the success of his expert
ments having that end in view, and he
does not promise TO do so until some
months have elapsed. He is, however,
just as confident as ever that he will ul.
timately give us the light, and we hope
his confidence is well grounded.
The holders of gas shares are in better
spirits, but some of them are sti II doubt
whether to sell now or wait for the reac

PURE WATER.-It is doubtful If there
would be any purer water than that which
flows down the Brandywine lift were per-
mitted to reach the mills without being
charged with filth and poisonous sub
stances. The bed of the stream has a
rough and uneven flooring of rocks over
which the water dashes and foams as it
descends, and is thus purified and sweet
ened by its contact with the fresh air and
the influence of the sun and this is
again repeated as it dashes over the seve-
raj dams in its course to the mills where
it is pumped to the city reservoirs. In
fact nature seems to have provided this
stream for the use We make of it,and it is
little short of criminality to corrupt so
healthful source of pure water.

though they obtrude themselves among
