The wonderful Edison received a
party yesterday. That is, he opened
the doors of his work shop to a num-
Der of ladies and gentlemen and then
secluded himself, leaving his assis-
tants to fulfil the part of hosts. 1t
might be supposed that Edison is
bashful but the truth is he is not
Over-pleased to have people ask him
all sorts Of questions. although he is
always ready to enter into single com

Illustrating the value of Edisen's tele-
phone, Mr.. johnson called to Mr..
Bachelor, Edison's chief assistant,
who was stationed at the other end
Of the wire, one hundred feet or more
away and up stairs, through a Bell
telephone, and asked him to make a
speech. There was a. clicking of wire
and then the distant voice-it seemed
a mile distant-of Mr.. Bachelor
could be heard reOiting something
about Mary and a lamb. Some of the
ladies could not distinguish the words
without putting their ears close to the
instrument, and all agreed with Mr..
Johnson that the sound seemed to
reach them from ever so far away.
The carbon transmitter was then
tried With Bells receiver. BY plac-
ing a funnel over tho receiver what
Mr.. Bachelor had to say was dis.
tipctly audible. Mr.. johnson then
explained that the receiver used by
MIR. Edison was operated without
magnetism. For the Bell receiver had

SeIfD Destruction Of an Ambitious
but Disappointed Woman.

A romantic suicide occurred in St.
Louis Thursday afternoon. The vic
tim was a married lady, Mrs. Minta
Barnard Hoffman, thirty years of age,
the wife of August Hoffman, an old
gentleman of sixty-two, who keeps a
grocery on the corner Of Gamble ave-
nue. and Twenty-frst street. The act
was caused by disappointed ambition,
the lady being, beside the possessor of
rare beauty, quite clever in the litera-
ry line. A volume of poems she pub
lished in 1877 met with very favorable
comment from the local press. Her
model was Alice Carey, and her
friends say hat she labOred under
great dependency of late, and
acknowledged as the cause her lack of
power to reach the position in the
literary world for which she longed
and worked in vain.
Her husbands health failing of late,
she was compelled to pass most of her
time attending to the corner grocery,
and this uncongenial employment
drove her to commit the fatal act.
Beside her body wa a letter, in which
she said she had committed suicide
with morphine, and in which she gave
minute instructions as to the DISPOSE
ton of her effects and person. From
the specimen of her literary work
displayed at the coroner's inquest, it
was easily seen that the deceased was
a woman Of fine imagination and con-
siderable culture, and that under more
favorable circumstances she might
have accomplished good literary work.

THE NIHILIsT COAT.
Why a Russian Journalist Emlgrated to
Vienna.

Monsieur s. was an editor on the
staff Of the leading Warsaw paper.
One cold morning he was ambling over
the frozen ground in the direction Of
his office with a bran new overcoat on,
when the passing police superintend-
ent halted him, and asked him to fol-
low him to his Office. NJ. s. had
enough respect for his own welfare to
do so.
After a sharp inquiry into his per-
sOnal affairs, he was asked where his
coat came from.
From Posen,"
Il thought so" said the superin-
tendent. You can CO."
NJ. s. went, no little mystifed.
Thereafter, whenever he appeared in
the streets in his new overcoat, he
was sure to meet a police spy, who
invariably halted him and searched
his pockets. The regularity with
which this occurred became monoto-
nous, and he called on the superin-
tendent and requested an explanation.
Why do you wear this ~overcoat?"
demanded the superintendent.
Because | have no other. What
has that got to do with the question:"
Nothing; only my men have orders
to stop you every time you are seen in
the street in that coat"
Il know that already. But why ?"
The coat came from Posen, didn't
Yes"
We'll, Posen is the hot-bed of
Nihilism. The head of the move
ment there is the cloth manufacturer
X. The cloth your coat is made of
comes from his factory. Do you per.
ceive?"
"Not quite. Because a Nihilist
makes the cloth 1 wear, am | neces-
sarily a Nihilist too?"
IF you were you would have been
in Siberia long ago. Still your wear
ing that coat is a bad example. Take
my advice and get another"
As,for reasons which will be obvious
to all journalists, NJ. s. could not
get another, he emigrated to Vienna,
where he tells his story in the Tages-
blatt, and wears his prescribed gar
ment in peace.

When / was living in the southern

talking to him of the voices and nOisos
high up on the mountains. He was
honestly amazed. He said he thought
the world slept for the night. [ told
him only the man slept in the wilder
ness: but he would find the world
very much awake if he would spend a
night high up from the habitatiOns of
man. He was resolved to see. And
so, with two blankets and two pistols,
some bread and a bottle of provisions,
we climbed up the steep, timbered
mountain, a mile above any habita-
ton. We spread our blankets under
a mighty tree. We saw the day fade
and die on the far snow peaks, and its
ghost came down in darkness and COW
cred us with its wings. The first thing
we heard was a great, black bug, that
came buzzing along. 1t struck the
bark of the tree and fell down on the
doctors blanket. Nothing dangerous
in a bug. The doctor was delighted. He
caught it up classified it with a Latin
name big enough to Kill it; put a pin
through it, and resolved to keep it as
a specimen and trophy of the night.
Suddenly, far across on the other
mountain side, there rose the howl of
a hundred wolves; then a thousand
wolves high upon the mountain top
made the woods tremble. The doctor
was not a bit frightened. He only
sat up a little closer to me, and 'Whis-
pcred gently that he thought it was
going to rain. Then a broad winged
bird, a black owl, struck in the boughs
above us, as if he meant to tear down
the tree. | am subject to rheuma-
tism," said the doctor, and | don't
want to get wet" Then there came a
crash A great grizzly bear that
evidently had business in somebody's
hog-pen, tore through the bush and
woods on his way to the settlement.
Possibly the doctor wanted the bear
for a specimen also, for he sprang up,
forgot his bug, and started for the
nearest house. He should have wait
ed to see the moon come wheeling up
