The Electric LIGHT In New York.

IN. Y. Correspondent Conrier-Journal.
A very fair experiment has been
made by. the Brush Electric Light
Company in an attempt to shut up
the old street lamps on Broadway.
This new light is in use from -Four.
teenth street to Thirty .fourth-one
mile. There is one light to every
bock-2OO feet, and the width II
the cross street added. Twenty
lights elevated twenty-five feet
above the sidewalks. They pre-
sent twenty intensely bright globes
of light that nobody cares to look
at. At distance of few feet from
the lamp.posts an object casts n
shadow of ink like blackness. The
lights turn the ordinary gaslight
into a dim, dirty orange.colorcd
glow. The contrast between Broad.
way and cross street is markcd-it
is light and twilight, and yet Broad.
way is not fully lighted in the part
of it on which the Brush Company
is experimenting. The light re.
Quires to he more diffused. This
can be accomplished, it would ap'
pear. 10y the use OF reilcctors similar
to those used by the lime.light.
One half of the lights might be made
to throw divergent beams up street,
the other half down, and there
would probably, with this device,
be required not over one.fourth as
many lights Us are now used by the
Brush Company unless there is
something in the nature of the
electric light that would forbid the

qualities to reconcile are great lumi

THE GUARDIAN.

The New York Sun has the followin
prize poem on the muL:
The mule seemed pensive, even sad,
As IL by conscience pricked;
Bnt when they cams to share his woes,
He raised objections kicked.
The cat came up to sympathizc,
With new and gentle pnrr,
Alas she got within his reach.
n-iidlle-strings and fur
The dog. in pity, Heared him ta
Alleviate his care;
He tried to pass aronnd him one,
But-sausage meat and hair.
And John. the honest farmer bay,
Who had the hrast IN charge,
Tried rrcklcsslr-tp harness him
His funeral was large.
oh. trif,iur were thu causes which
His ilrxilr legs unfurlcd;
And many were the qnndrupcd'
That sought another world.
He never did drcrnt thing;
He wasn't worth ducat;
He kicked aud kicked until he died,
And then he kicked the bucket.

1llustrious Dead.
AT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.


Memorial services for President Garfield
were held on SUNDAY evening last, at the
Catholic church. The church was heavily
draped in mourning and decorated with
emblems of grief. Beneath the organ loft
and just above the entrance was hung por-
trait Of the dead President, which was encir-
cled by the stars and stripes dressed in thick
Grape. The altar and chancel was beautiful
~ decorated with emblems. evergreens and
flowers Of every description, and the church
generally bore solemn and sorrowful ap-
pearance. The church Was filled to its ut
! most capacity; every creed, party and nation
was represented, the highest and the lowest,
the rich and the poor, assembled to do honor
to the memory Of their dead President. at
precisely Z o'clock the brass band under the
leadership of Professor Walker poured out
in clear strains an impressive funeral march.
Then followed a short prayer in which the
congregation joined. The choir then sung the
beautiful and impressive hymn, Il Would
not Live Always" The history Of the life
Of President Garfield was then briefly deliY-
cred by William FL. Hunt, Jr Esq The Sc
lection Of Mr.. Hunt for this duty was made
At the request Of a number Of leading citi-
zens, owing to his relation to the deceased
President Mr Hunt prefaced his address
by expressing his thanks for having been Sc
lected to illustrate the life Of James Abram
| Garfield, our dead President. While the
speaker could not claim an intimate acquaint
ance with the distinguished deceased, as those
listening to him knew. his father was not on
" aconfidential adviser OF the President, but
lie was numbered among General Garfield 8
true and long timed friends. Mr. Hunt then
proceeded to bis task, which was rendered in
chaste, beautiful and impressive language,
interspersed with periods OF eloquence that
tended not little to invite the attention of
the congregation. He related step by step
tie early struggles Of the President, his adj
vance from the humblest stage Of life to that
Of the most distinguished and exalted posi-
tons The speaker carried his hearers stage
by stage through the long and honorable ca
reer Of President Garfield upon the battle
