The Man with the Umbrella.

Why it is that the public do not look
kindly upon man carrying an umbrella
in a hot day is a mystery to be solved,
but the fact is they do not, and that not
one man in a hundred has the moral
courage to carry one. Yesterday, when
an eminent and dlgnified citizen, coming
back from his dinner, turned into Girls
void street with an umbrella over his
head he was accosted with
" Been raining down your way B"
No sir
Going TO? ?"
"No, sir
"Then YOU carry the umbrella to keep
the flies off?"
Yes, sir. "
"Well, that's a good plan, and all
soft men ought to practice 1t.

Suppose you did -
"Suppose you mind your own bust
ness. SIR.
The next one presumed upon his long
friendship to halt the man with the UNI
brella and whisper:
g Pretty sharp in you, old fellow;
keep the edges toward your creditors
and they can't see you.
Other mon told him that wearing
poultice on the head would dispense
with the umbrella, and others said If he
was afraid of his ears being tanned he
should fasten fan on each side of his
hat. Not one single man took him by
the hand and encouraged him, and
when he reached the postofIice he was
so discouraged that he lowered his shade,
and used it to punch the ribs of boy
who had begun to sing:
He's a nat. he's q feller.

A CoNsUMMArE IDxL,

The string that tied the dog fetched loose,
The dog came bowling on:
That misadventure cooked his goose,
His cup Of Joy was gone.
Swift for the picket fence he sped,
As swallows skim the plain;
Two inches scant the dog has led;
He never smiled again.
Bright eyes were passing on the street,
Soft voices laughed in glee.
And merry shouts from happy hearts
Called other hearts 10 see.
He reached the fence, he strove 10 climb
With sudden, mighty strain;
Sore was his need, scant was his time
He never smiled again.
Where erst, like robins in the spring
HIS sweethearts. voice he heard,
He hears her fathers accents ring
With many heartless word,
One leg the bIistling fence besrrides,
But Fastening In mis- train
The naughty dog his speed derides-
He never smiled again.
Around him whirled the giddy throns
With happy faucies blest;
Around him rose the registering song.
The laugh, the merry Jest;
He lived for life NAV long be borne.
Ere sorrow breaks its chain;
But that dog chewed him all iorlorn--
He never smiled again.

Pocket Pistols.

Since cast iron revolvers can be bought
for dollar, about every other boy and
Young man in the State has one OF these
weapons in his pocket, and makes 1t a
constant companion as his watch or
pocket-knife. At bowery dance or
billiard room in the heat of passion he
wbipes it out and commits a murder. In
this peaceful age no man wants a-revolv-
er. except at his own home, to protect
himself and family from burglars. The
law against man making a peripatetic
arsenal of himself, if enforced, would put
a stop to three-fourths of the murders.

MIR. EDISON'S INVENTION
COMPLETE.
The Illumination Produced by
|. Fifty Incandescent Bamboo
Looms.

= Fifty Incandescent Bamboo
Loops.
n. Y. sun.
The large building, formerly private
residence, on the northeast corner oil
Fifth avenue and Fourteenth street, was
illuminated last evening with from fifty
to sixty Edison lights.
The incandescent loops OF charred
bamboo glowed steadily and pleasantly
TO the eve, in their air-tight glass globes.
The loops are not shaped like hoise-
shoes, as were those made OF charred
bristol board with which he formerly
lighted Menlo Park. They are a little
over two inches long and shaped like
capital U. The charred bamboo was a
mere thread.
When all the lights in large upper
back parlor were turned out except one
the paragraphs in the 'Sunbeams' col
umn OF the Sun could be read easily.
A throng OF invited guests passed from
room to room. The building is occu.
pied as the offices OF the company, and
Mr.. Edison personally did the honors Of
the evening. In the cellar ten-horse
power single-piston engine ground out
the electricity.
Mr.. Edison delivered little lecture
in response to the fire ofquestions pour
ed in upon hun by his guests. He took
out large map OF the downtown DIS
trict which he proposes to light with an
800 horse power engine. The district
is bounded by Spruce and Wall streets,
aud by Nassau street and the East river.
The district was represented on the map
in black, and every gas jet now in use
in the district, 1850 III all, was repre-
scented in its proper place by white dots.
The engine was to be located, he said ,
not far from the intersection OF Gold
and John streets.
lie said that he could sell power
enough in that district to enable him to
nav the entire cost OF supplying the
light for the whole district. A careful
canvass of the district had showed that
there were now in use 2il engines oil
less than five horse power. These en-
zines, in all, were OF 566i horse power.
There were in the district, also, 4Sa
hosting spparatuses worked by hand,
and LOG such apparatuses worked by
horses. There we're also $50 hand'pow-
er machines that might be worked by
all electric motor.
