EDIsoN,s ELECTRIC LIGHT:

New York, Sept. 5.-Most of the prime
pal stores on Fulton street, from Nassi
street TO the river, were last evening for u
nrst time lighted by the Edison electr
light, and there were few other places /
the first district, which extends from Spru
street to Wall street, that were also lightt
by this system, which can now be csntin,
ously supplied from the first station, at No

placed In very many of the buildin
throughout the entire district, and the ligi

Each building requires inspection by u
Roard Of Underwriters before the light ca
be supplied. The lights are rather mo.
brilliant than gas, and are 50 arranged th.

Was There n False Garibaldi.
From London Telegraph.

From London Telegraph.
The writer of an editorial article published
in recent issue of an Italian newspaper
called the Sentinelle du Midi, asserts that
Garabaldi was slain at Aspromonte, and has,
ever since that fatal day, been impersonated
by a Livornese, whose resemblance to him
was matter of public notoriety for some
years before the Generals death. 1t Is fur
ther alleged that the late Victor Emanuel
must be held responsible for the substitution
in question, an expedient of his ewn sug
gestion for averting downright breach be-
tween the Garibaldian faction and the dy.
nasty. Several of the real Garlbaldi's fellow
campaigners in Uruguay have at different
times testified publicly to the hoax thus
practiced upon the Italian nation, but to no
purpose, although their allegations have
been uniformly supported by indIsputable
physical evidence. they point for instance
to the fact that Garibaldis hands aud feet
were small and finely formed, while those OF
his impersonator were large and ILL shaped
that the former could scarcely write his own
name, while the latter was. skilled aud
fluent penman. "This imposture, observes
the writer, accounts for the unconcesled
antipathy entertained by Menotti and Rcci-
otti Garibaldi to their dead fathers imper-
senator, whom Menotti could never meet
without breaking out into abusive language,
while Ricciotti, although resident upon the
island of Caprera, steadfastly declined to
cross the impostor's threshold.' 1t is wor-
thy of mention that the Fanulla, an organ
of the Italian government, denounces the
above mentioned article In good round
terms, but, nevertheless, reproduces IL In Its
entirety surrounded by a black border. ..l

To Forstell the Weather.


II the sun sets IN crimson clouds and rises
brilliant, or II the stars are numerous and
bright, we know In general way that we
may reckon on duration of fine weather.
Dews and white morning fogs are symp-
tcms of clear days.
A dark and vapory sun, and sickly- looking
moon with blunt horns, and circle around
her, or pallid, big and non-scintillating stars,
are all signs of approaching rain.
If the sun comes up pale and then turns
red, or If the moon is large and ruddy, with
sharp, black horns, we may count on wind.
The chickweed Is called 'tbe poor mans
barometer" because 1t shuts up Its flowers
when wet is approaching.
The aurora bereals, when very bright,
forebodes stormy, moist, unsettled weather.
A haze around the sun indicates rain; 1t ID
caused by fine rain or mist in the upper re-
giois of the atmosphere.
A halo around the sun has often been fol.
lowed by heavy rains.
A halo around the moon is also an indica-
lion of rain. The larger the halo the nearer
the wet spell.
Lack Of dew Ia another sign Of rain.
Sharp, white frosts In autumn aud winter
precede damp weather, and three successive
white frosts are IN infallible sign Of rain.

| The time of the year is approaching in
which the normal efforts of Christian
churches to extend their influence and en-
large their numbers are supplemented fire.
quently by additional religious meetings.
| On these occasions, the services of such peo
| pie as those whose portraits we present here
with, are often called into requisiton. For
reasons which appear in the following brief
than they are now in the field. Their meth
DDS are original and seem to be effective.
The young lady, Miss Marie Barnes, is said
to be In her twenty-third year. She Is the
Sankey in the combnation-plays a reed
organ and sings hymns pleasingly if not with
the ability of trained vocalist Miss Marie
has good features and expression. She is a
trife too thin, but lovable- looking damsel
with black eyes and hair; and her fathers
success is not improperly attributed in part
to the interest which attaches to her COM
panionship with him in his unsystematic per-
ordinations. The interesting partnership
:
when the sweet soprano voice and the little
organ were heard for the first time in concert
publicly.
Her father, the Rev. George o. Barnes, the
mountain evangelist as he is generally called,
was born in Paint Lick, Garrard county, ten
miles from Lancaster, Kentucky, on the 22d
Of April, 1877. His father was an English
man and his mother native of New Jersey.
Young Barnes enjoyed advantages of culture
in his youth. His father was Presbyterian
minister, and encouraged the sons decided
bias towards mental work. Having been
graduated from Center College, Danville, the
future evangelist read theology at the Pres
byterian theological institution, Princeton,
New Jersey, and was ordained a minister In
1854, when he was found to be acquainted
with the Greek, Hebrew, Sanskrit aud other
languages, and apt in general literary knowl-
edge. He married aud went to India as
missionary. Marie and another child were
born in that far-of country, from which the
family returned in 1861, the father with
broken health, the victim of rheumatic and
spinal pains from which he sought relief in
the use Of morphine. In two years he was
so far recovered from these diseases and the
effect of the remedy he had used for them, as
to be able to preach, and became Presbyte-
rian pastor at Stanford, Kentucky, connec-
tion severed in 1871, in consequence of cer-
| tain peculiarities in Mr. Rarnes, tbaolooica Al
views not in accord with the Presbyterian
standard. These do not appear of essential i'm
portance to the outsider, as he seems to have
questioned merely the absolute purity of the
Bible, and the doctrinal infallibility and per-
fection of the Presbyterian dognas. Hew

The Harvest Moon.

From tie Providence Journal, Aug. 30.
The September moon fulls on the 9th at
1925 A. NJ. 1t is the beautiful harvest moon
and possesses special claims to distinction.
For, owing to the position of the ecliptc in
regard to the equator at this season, the
moon rises for several consecutive nights
with ouly comparatively small interval be-
tween the successive risings. The short au-
tumpal days seem thus to be prolonged by
the foods of silvery moonlight that make
the night beautiful as day. The phenome-
MN Is as easily explained as the axial rota-
ton o: the earth. But in the older times,
when man was nearer TO nature, the harvest
moon was considered q direct interposition
Of Providence to assist the husbandman in
gathering In the harvest. The waning moon
Is in conjunction with Neptune on the I'd,
with Saturn on the Sd, with Jupiter on the
9Th, and with Uranus on the 18th. The
new moon of the 18th Is In conjunction
with Mercury and Mars on the l4th and with
Venus on the 10th, passing degree and q
half north of her.

She sat on the steps of the organ loft
Just after the second hymn,
And through nave and choir to the cool gray

The sound rose faint and dim,
As they settled themselves in the church

For the sermon that followed next,
And seated myself at the affairs side
As the parson took his text.
marked the tender flush of her cheek,
And the CLEAN of her golden hair,
The snowy kerchief round her neck
And her throat all white and bare
A throat so white that indeed 1t might
An anchorite entice;
And I family heard the parsons word
As he preached of Paradise.
My arm stole gently around her waist
Until our fingers met,
And fluttering blush made the tender fiusl
OF her cheek grow deeper yet.
Snowy and fair the hand beneath.
And brown the palm above,
The the Drown closed soiuy ofei tno "hi's
And the parson spoke of love.
All, who is wise when deep blue eyes
Meet his hand and look coyly down?
Who would but drink, nor care to think
0fenvy's jealous frown?
IT was but to bend till felt her breath
Grow warm on my cheek, and then
Ny lips softly touched her own
As the parson said amen.

A Nihflist Warming.

An extraordinary Whilst story is told by
the St. Petersburg correspondent Of the Vol
tdire, published In Paris: Shortly after the
opening of the Moscow exhibition, which was
recently inaugurated by the Grand Duke
vladimir, young man demanded an andi-
ence of the Chief of Police at St. Petersburg.
He refused to state his errand to any of the
subordinate officials, so after being carefully
searched he was admitted TO the presence Of
the General. here he stated at once that he
was sent by the Revolutionary party, and ex-
planned his mission in the following terms /:
"The Emperor is prevented from going 10
Moscow by his fear of our schemes. HIS
dread will cease to be justified whenever he
grants constitution. Then he need fear no
conspiracy, and can 20 In safety wherever he
pleases. II has fallen to my lot to inform
you that IL the Emperor persists in his reac-
tionary policy nothing can save him. Neither
my friends nor myself wish to murder him
treacherously. Alexander iii is warned as
was Alexander ii. We do not assassinate,
but we render Justice" AT this point of the
interview the police officer seemed anxious
to call In assistance, but the young Nihlist
stopped him and sddel: 81 do not wish to
| be subjected to the indiguity of torture. In
coming here / have sacrificed my life. l
could have killed you, but we do net commit
murder uselessly." With these words the
youth stepped back few PAGES and knocked
two large buttons, with which his cuffs were
fastened, against his forehead. The buttons,
being full Of an explosive substance, burst
and inflicted such wounds on the young man
that he expired In few moments, leaving
no trace as to his identity. This sensational
! incident has reminded the public that the
murder of Alexander ii was preceded by
similar warnings.

good man, and an eloquent and faithful
pastor, and his retirement was deeply regret
ted by his people and many members of all
the Protestant churches residing in the neigh
oorhood. He went to Pink College to liv,
and was there offered an independent church
This he declined, but preached frequently II
Stanford, Chicago and other places during
the ensuing years. The offer in Chicago Of
church and residence to be his own property
and four thousand dollars a year salary, he
also declined, and in August, 1876, deter,
mined to devote himself to the poor and un.
taught mountaineers of his native State. He
was fully at work in this way in few months
afterwards, living the uncertain and precari-
Gus life of the primitive apostle. His field OF
operations gradually extended, and In Feb
ruary, 1877, as before stated his daughter be.
gan to actively assist him in his public work.
Many thousand persons have made profes.
sion Of Christianity as the result of his
preaching, and acting upon his counsel, have
Joined themselves TO the churches. His con-
verts at Louisville included Governor Black.
burn, of Kentucky, and other persons of en-
inence. At Frankfort, Kentucky, Dayton,
Ohio, and many other places his labors have
proved very fruitful.
Mr.. Barnes is above six feet in height, has
q thin face, aquiline nose, dark hazel eyes,
and long auburn hair. While his appearance
resembles that of the ordinary minister in
some respects, his unaffected and simple ora
tory, the independence of his views and the
original and effective English in which he
presents them, differ pleasingly from the
conventional. His faith is child-like. His
simplicity obeys as he believes duty leads.
His capacity for work is enormous. Holding
fifteen services week, as he ordinarily does,
he Is indifferent as to the possible conse-
quences to his health. He is satisfied to do
the work If it seems the right thing that he
should do 1t, leaving results as to himself
and otherwise with Him, who he believes
has called him to do IL. This principle he
carries so far as to reject all artificial aids
to the vocal organs, and perseveres in sim
plicity of diet which, unquestienably, is a
good foundation for faith to build upon. He
anoints with oil for the cure of sickness, &C.
companying the ceremony With PRAYER, in
obedience to the fourteenth'Verse of the fifth
chapter of the Epistle of James, because he
believes it is the will of God that he should
do so, and for 10 other reason, and wthsu,
holding out expectations to the diseased per.
sons and their friends. In this matter, as in
his preaching, he makes no personal prsten,
sions, and the universal respect in which Mr.
Barnes is held is largely due to the unset
fshness and modesty of his character.

Chairman OF the Republican State Central
Committee, and during that year managed
the most memorable campaign ever Witness
I'd In any State, and nothing but the corrupt
nse Of barrels Of Tilden's money prevented
Indiana going Republican. Since that time
he has pracficed law with great success, and
