How Edison Got Married.

"Stock" Griffin, Edison's private sec
retary, once told me funnily charac-
teristic story of the manner i'll which
Edison came to get married. The idea
was first suggested by an intimate
friend who made the point that he
needed ii mistress to preside over his
house, which was being managed by ii
hOusekeeper and several servants. |
dare say the idea had never occurred
to him before, for be it known he is
the shyest and most bashful of men,
but he seemed pleased with the propO-
sition, and timidly inquired whom he
should marry. The friend somewhat
testify replied "any one" that a man
who had so little sentiment in his soul
as to ask such question ought to he
satisfied with anything that wore Il pet
ticoat and was decent, and concluded
by saying, "There are number of
nice girls employed in your factory
over yOnder; they aren't especially re
fined or cultivated, must confess, but
they are respectable and that is the
main consideration after all"
Edison looked them all over and, af-
ter making his selection, put the ques-
ton plumply to her. 1t was Edison's
way of doing business. She asked time
to consider and Edison granted her a
week. At the end of that period she
accepted him and they were married
without delay. They had decided to
visit the New England states and
Canadas and make an extensive tour.
As the bridal party drove to the station
they passed his laboratory. Turning
to his wife Edison excused himself foI
few minutes, saying there were some
matters that needed his attention and
that he would be at the station in time
for the train. The train came and
went and So did several others, but no
Edison. The bride, who knew his pc
culiarities, finally drove back to the
house and waited her liege lords pleas
ure. She never saw him again for for
ty-eight hours. Immersed i'll some
idea that had suddenly occurred to
him, he became obliviOus to brides
hOneymoons or anything else Cor

BenefactiOns Reviewed.

The Free Press reviews the generous
acts of its benefactOr, j. p. Howard,
Esq, and pays him tribute. His gifts
are thus summarized To the Univer-
sity, besides the Lafayette statue,
which will cost S25, 900, and be a splen-
did work of art, he has given S50,000
in cash and is rebuilding its main edi-
flee at Il cost of but little less making
an aggregate of about SI25,000. To
the Home of Destitute Children he
made the splendid gift of the beautiful
opera house which bears his name, and
which cost nearly SI25,00O. To St.
Paul's Episcopal church he gave an
elegant stone chapel erected at a cost
of $1,000; to the fund for the support
of the bishop of the diocese he gave
5000; and for the home missions of
the diocese, eighteen hundred acres of
valuable western land. Three elegant
fountains in the city parks still further

it was ut his expense that the present
stately entrance to Lake View Gene
terry was erected, and the walks there
and in Battery Park put in fine condi-
tson-the entire outlay being a large
one. To the new Fair enterprise he
made "a most liberal subscription and
it was i'll just compliment to his splen-
did public spirit that the permanent
site of the fair has been named How
ard Park. His minor gifts and benefac-
tiOns have been almost unlimited.

Colorado Springs.
A MODEL WESTERN CITY.

MODEL W ESIERN CITY.
The incOrpOrators restricted that this
should be a temperance town. BY ad
herring to that plan, and by religiously
carrying it out, there is presented in
Colorado Springs city of nearly six
thousand inhabitants, situated in the
far West, an attractive place, which
has none of the vices usually found in
Colorado cities, and which can truly
and honestly boast of refinement
which compares favorably with that
found i'll many an Eastern town. The
Springs can well be proud of the repu-
tatiOn it has earned. 1t deserves all
the praises lavished by enthusiastic
visitors and contented inhabitants. 1t
is exactly suited to the wants of the
invalid and the lover of the beautiful.
Those coming here for the sake of their
lungs or their liver may take that per
feet rest which they in so many cases
need the most: and if their health is
really impaired they will find in the
Springs Il city of comforts, fair living,
good rooms and ii place where the air
is as bracing and imvigOrating as the
most faStidiOus could desire. There is
no smoke from manufacturing eStab-
lishments to poison the air, and no
noisy paved streets to deafen the ear.
1t is not hard to find Il quiet country
town with pure air; but it is difficult
to find place with city comforts which
has no drawbacks. And | am sure
that many Il weary body and tired mind
can be restored here. Let the invalid
live sensible life at the Springs, sleep
ing well, eating enough, and riding or
driving to the many points of interest
near ut hand let the sufferers from all
ills accept the gifts of sunshine and
air which Nature so lavishly gives, and
| venture the assertion that they will
bless the day they came here. There
is no drunkenness outside of private
homes and there are no salOOns.- Cor.

when she lay a-dying, putting those thin

her back to speak your name with the
