ANY person, on fine day, wishing to take
walk, and turning his steps towards Bon
ham street, will much wonder why it is that
from Bonham to Bowie street on the south
sidewalks have been laid, while not a vestge
OF a sidewalk is to be seen on the opposite
side. Now, let this same person inquire the
why and wherefore OF this, and he will learn
that the sidewalks on the south side were all
laid down by the city, and as far back as 1881
pavements should have been placed on the
other side. by order OF the city. This order
has never been carried out, and the LIGHT
would like TO know whose fault il is.

NOV, let me see if I understand this

Blaine and Cleveland were chosen,

"They were nominated at Chicago,
my sweety sweet-not elected"
when will they be elected, my angel
love?"
"Only one of them will be elected,

''Then they were both nominated at
Chicago, my pretty pet?"
you see my dear, one is a Democrat
and the other is a Republican"
"Then what is the use of having two
men nominated at Chicago if they can't
both be elected? 1 know there are al
ways two men on the ticket. There
were Tilden and Hendricks and Hayes
aud Wheeler. Pa told me So"

there is a vice president"
"Oh, my darling of darlingsl" ex-

INVENTOR ED1soE,s WIFE
Romanoe Of Their Marriage Recalled b,
Her Death.

6c1 00abns
Mrs. Mary Stillwell Edison, wife of
the inventor. Thomas Alva Edison, who
died at 2 A. NJ. Saturday at Menlo Park
n. j., was t~wentY-nine years ofage, and
leaves surviving her three children.
The story of her marriage to Mr.. Edison
is a singularly strange and romantic one.
When he first formed her acquaintance
he was about twenty-five years of age.
He had just invented the chemical tele-
graph, by means of which could be
transteansmitted he claimed ON a single
wire 5000 words a minute. The tele-
graph, Notwithstanding this, however,
became s~ubservient to the Morse system.
While working on the chemical tele-
graph he employed several young wom-
en- to punch the holes in the paper.
Among them was Miss Mary Stillwell.
One day he was standing behind her
C chair examining a telegraph instrument.
Mr.. Edison" remarked Miss Still
we'll, suddenly turning around, 81 can
always tell when you are behind me or
near me-"
How do you account for that ?"
mechanically asked Mr.. Edison, still
absorbed in his work.
II don't know, 1 am sure" she quietly
answered; "but l seem to feel when you
Ire near me-"
"Miss Stillwell," said Mr.. Edison,
turning round now in his turn, and
looking his interlocutor in the face,
I've been thinking considerably of you
of late, andif you are willing to have
me I'd like to marry you"
you astonish me-" exclaimed Miss
S tillwell. "I-I never"
Il know you never thought 1 would
be your wooer, I" interrupted Mr.. Edison,
"but think over my proposal, Miss
Stillwell, and talk over it with your
mother" Then he added in the same
offhand business-like way, as though
he might be experimenting upon a new
mode of courtship lie me know as
early as possible if you consent to
marry me, and your mother is willing,
we can be married pext Teusday."
This was the extent of Mr.. Edison's
courtship, 1t is hardly necessary to
add that the highly favored lady laid
the abrupt proposal before her mother.
MA has consented" she told Mr..
Edison the next day.
THAT all right" said Mr.. Eds on
in reply. 1--WE will be married a week
from to-day"
And so it was. The two were mar
ried in a week and a day from the be-
ginning of Mr.. Edison's novel and pre-
cipitate courtship. In connection with
his marriage, however, a story is told
quite as singular, hut fully in keeping
with the one already given touching his
oourtship. 1t is said that directly fol-
lowiD" the marriage he entered his lab
ora oIy il his wedding suit, and hastily
thro, IN his coat on a bench began
work.
why, surely you are not going to
work on your wedding night? ?" remon-
strated his chief assistant.
Suppose it is ?"he quickly answered,
setting to work with renewed zeal ''the
Gold and Stock company don't care for
that. They want their instruments to-
morrow, anil they've got to have them,
marriage or no marriage so here goes"
The wedding trip of Mr.. Edison ran
into the mysteries of inventions. His
welded life. however, is said to have
been a ~singularly happy me-.

Harvey Wakefield, who died last week

Harvey Wakefield, who died last week
in Colebrook, Conn, at the age of
e~ighty-two, had a passion for saving all
sorts of articles that people generally
throw away. In his barn is a huge pile
of newspapers and it is said that every
newspaper he had received in sixty
years lies in that heap. He is said to
have been in a church not more than
three times in his whole life, but his
will gives 81, 900 each to the Episcopal,
Methodist, Roman Catholic and Con-
gregational churches of Winsted. Some
small legacies are left to relatives,
81, 900 to the borough of Winsted and
the rest Of his estate to the town of Win

Louisiana, it seems, will take part
in the Worlds Exhibition of 1884
at New Orleans, in q general
convention of Educational Socie-
ties and committees from all the
States Of the Union. We hope
that this display of earnest zeal
in the subject of Education will
wake up our people to a proper
sense Of their duties and obliga,
tons in that good and sacred
cause. Col. Louis Bush is chair
man of the Educational Society
Of our States and VIC we'll know
that when he undertakes a good
work, he is mighty apt to bring
about good results.
