Thg attempted Bribery.

Washington, Dickinson made
q general statement regarding the
alleged attempt as bribery, but
would give no formal statement for
publication. He said be would, to-
morrow, lay before the district at
torney, or his assistant, such facts
as we're within his knowledge. On
August Esd he had been approached
with an offer of $1,000 by an officer
connected with the department of
justice, who produced letters Of ap-
pointment as special agent of that
department; and stated he was au-
thOrized to act in the matter, if he
would vote for the conviction
Of Brady and Stephen w. Dorsey.
That statement would be corrobor-
ated by witnesses and by circum-
stantial evidence. When he made
his offer he did not believe he had
$50 in his possession, much less
$1,000 and it was his opinion the
man had been employed to get the
unwaTy to commit themselves. He
would not allow this matter to drop,
but would see the thing through.

STORED ELECTRICITY.
An Experiment that Seemed to Please
Number Of Electricians.

New YORK, Dec. 22.-The first public ex-
pertinent in this city with the Brush storage
system of lighting by electricity was made
last evening in the rooms of the Brush Swan
Electric Light company, at S53 Broadway.
Many distinguished electricians were present.
A battery of twenty-four cells was charged
with power from the ordinary street circuits
of the Brush company. Twenty
Swan lamps were kept burning for five
hours by the electricity thus accumulated.
The storage battery consists of box contain
ing cells, in each of which are lead plates
The plates are electrically treated, and I'M
mersed in calculated water. The battery ex-
hibited last evening was provided with an
automatic switch, attached to which was a
meter. The switch automatically regulated
the charge of The storage battery, and the
meter registered the amount of current used
The lights used were equal to one of the big
lights on the circuit that supplies the lamps
between Elizabeth street and the Grand Cen
trail depot Mr.. G. F. Brush explained the
operation of the system to the visitors
It is declared that the storage system pos
sesses great advantages over the system of
lighting directly by power generated from
dynamo machines. With the storage system
every consumer of light has his reservoir of
electricity on his own premises. A stopping
of the machinery at the central station would
not put out his lights. 1t is also said that the
lights furnished by the storage battery are ab-
solutely steady, while those supplied directly
from the dynamo machine are not At the ex-
hibition dynamo machine of about horse
power was run by power from a storage bat
terry. The twenty-seven lights, in little glass
globes, burned brightly and steadily Mr. Ed
win Einstein, the president of the Brush com
pany, said it was now prepared to supply Swan
lamps for factory, store, or domestic use All
who were present seemed to be pleased with
the result of the exhibition

MRS. LANGTRY,
She and MIR. Gebhardt Arrived In
Brooklyn.

New YORK, Dec. 26-Mrs Langtry appeared
as Juliana in "The Honeymoon" at Haverly's
theater in Brooklyn yesterday An audience
Of about $50 were present. Alright the house
was about three quarters full The applause
was very slight
Mr.. Gcbhart returned to New York from
Philadelphia with Mrs. Langtry. He dined
Sunday evening at Delmonicos, and to
Judge by his appearance, his recent travels
did not appear to effect either his appetite OF
his looks. In fact, he seemed to be in unusual
ly good humor, and, notwithstanding that
he was the object of general at
traction in the dining-room, he bore
ers with the utmost indifference 1t is
said that at the clubs he has visited since
his return Mr. Gebhardt has experienced
some severe chatting" all of which he has
taken with apparent Indifference With refer
once to Mrs Langtry, save among his most
intimate friends, he has maintained frigd
silence During her engagement in Brooklyn,
Mrs. Langtry stops at Hubels hotel, which is

rooms on the first floor of the hotel at
the south end have been engaged for the
lady New furniture has been put in the
rooms at an expense of $4,000. The green
room of the theltre has also been refurnished
Fred Gebhardt visited the hotel yesterday
for the purpose of ascertaining if
everything was ready to receive the
Jersey Lily. After being assured
that every detail for Mrs. Langtry's comfort
had been attended to, Freddie Jumped into a
hack and was driven to the Mansion house,
where he took room. The people at Hubels
do not know if Gebhardt will join Mrs Lang

Bill Arp on Nature.

Atlanta Constitution.
There are some curious things about Indian
corn, and one is whore do the red ears and
the speckled ears come from when you don't
plant any but white ears; and another lie,
why don't we find an ear with an odd number
of rows on itg You can find four-leaf clio
YER, but have never found the odd row on
an ear of corn yet 1t is always fourteen, OF
sixteen or twenty, or some even number, and
would like to understand what corn knows
about mathematics, and what objection nature
has to odd numbers But nature is full of
mysteries. was looking at some honeycomb
the other day and wondered how it could be
made so true and uniform and perfect even
under microscope, and yet be all made In
the dark. And I would like TO know how
the lightning bug kindles the fire 30 suddenly,
and I've noticed that there is not only
light in it to show him how to travel, but
there is power in it that pushes him forward
and always upward. He rises as he lights,
which is good emblem. When a man sets
himself up as a preacher, or teacher, or a
statesman, and undertakes to throw light
around upon the people he ought to so live
by precept and example that he would rise
higher and higher as he Illuminated And right
before me in front OF the piazza are two vines
climbing a cane-one madeira and the other
q jessamine-and they cross each other at
every round, climbing in opposite directions,
