Edison Gives It Up.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger" says Il am
informed, on authority almost as relia-
BILE as that of Mr.. Edison himself, that
the inventor, after spending so much
valuable time and means on the elabora-
ton of his theory of electric light, has
dropped it, or has determined to do so,
and has decided to adopt that of Mr..
Wallace, of Ansonia, Conn.,, who has
already constructed a machine for pro-
ducing the light and advanced some
what in the line of solving the great
problem of the division of the same. 1t
is called the carbon theory while Mr..
Edison has held to the platinum theory,
whatever these terms may imply. At
any rate, the announcement, some time
ago, by the New York papers, that Mr..
Edison had solved his great problem was
a trifle premature.

How a Mouse Becape a Pet.


Miss Lille Smith, residing on Never
sink street, vouches for the following;
About II months ago, one day while she
was busy with her needle work, she was
startled by little scream that appeared
to come from beneath her chair. Upon
making an examinations he discovered q
little mouse that had been squeezed by
the treadle of her sewing machine, and
was making vain endeavors to extricate
itself. Being lady of compassion she
tenderly released the poor animal from
its captivity, when it scampered away.
The mouse after this occurrence be-
came greatly attached to Miss Smith,
and whenever she had occasion to use
the machine, the little mouse was punctu-
ally at hand and would sit and gaze at
the young lady with the utmost interest,
seemingly studying the operation of
the machine. One day this week the
family were deeply grieved when they
found poor mousy stiff and cold.-ReotI-

Heaviest People in the United States.

John Powers and sister-probably the
two heaviest people in the United States
who have been on exhibition in Har-
risburg on several occasions within the
last few years are still about and well,
reports of their death to the contrary
Notwithstanding. The Reading Eagle,
of Thursday week says: John Pow
ers, aged about twenty years, and whose
weight is over seven hundred pounds,
drove up to the Eagle Office at noon
today and desired this paper to state
that the report now in circulation
throughout the country that his sister,
weighing eight hundred and eight
pounds, is dead, is erroneous. Mr..
Powers sister is just as well as she ever
was and is gaining steadily in flesh, and
he is confident that both, himself and
sister will tip the beam at 1000 pounds
in the course of couple years.
