How She Lost DObbin.

A young lady of good position re-
Gently became engaged to young man
whose name is not Dobbin, though it
ought to be. Some day after the en-
gagement was made public he called,
as was his custom, on his betrothed,
and was admitted by servant, who
was delayed by a messenger with apar-
eel from announcing him Immediately.
Dobbin stepped behind the heavy drap-
cry to look at blooming chrysanthe-
mum in the bay window, waiting pa
tiently. just then the bell rung again
and another gentleman was admitted,
and the fair betrothed instantly entered
the drawing-room to greet the new
conner. 1t might have been bashful
ness, it might have been some other
reason; but, at any rate, Dobbin paused
fatal moment before presenting him
self. There was a warm kiss; then the
gentleman asked impetuously if the
news of the engagement he had heard
only that day was true. Yes, it was
awfullv true, said the betrothed of Dob
bin, though he was the only man she
loved, and though she still wore his
ring given her before he went away.
"But papa has lost everything. and I
had to take" What! all his fortunep"
asked the visitor anxiously. "Yes, ev-
erything'' well. am very sorry;
don't cry" etc. mo. l mustn't make
my eyes red, for l expect him every
moment. and he is our only hope"
Whereupon, so the gossips say. No. 2
departed, leaving No. to settle up
matters with his tiancee. But Dobbin
seized the opportunity while his beloved
returned to her room to bathe her eyes
to make good his escape as well, and
now there is a broken engagement and
despair generally in a mansion not
hundred miles from the Public Garden.
So few girls here got engaged this au-
tumn that it is terrible to break to
pieces an engagement actually accom-
plished, but this is the misery of being
found out; and. alas! she never intend
ed that it should happen.-Boston Let
ter Albany Journal.

The Thompson Houston Electric
Light Company.

The system of Thompson Houston Elec.
tfic Light, which it is proposed shall be
employed in lighting our city, is thus re.
ferred to by the regular correspondent of
the Neac York Scientific Times and 1ferc7.1,a-
tile Register, high authority upon such
matters
One OF the attractions at the New Or
leans World sssExposition is the 5000 In.
candeScent and 1000 arc electric LIGHTS
which illuminate the buildings. DuTing
the past few years the use of electricity for
artificial light has steadily won favor and
every city and town of note in the country
is being supplied with them. The .sWiz-
ard OF Menlo Park" succeeded in reyolu-
tlonlzlng public opinion as to the cheap-
ness and efficiency of the electric fluid as
an illumination, but decided improvements
have been recently made by the Thompson
Houston Electric Light Co, 131 Devon
shire street, Boston, which render their
system the best in the world. They manu-
facture dynamO-electric machines, electric
motors, arc lamps, incandescent. current
regulators and distributors, lightning ar
rosters, cut-outs, switch boards, etc.. and
every device connected with the use of
electricity. The Louisville Exposition in
1883 awarded them the first prize for the
best Are Light !" also at Cincinnati.
1883. and First Gold Medal at San Fran |
cisco, and flu Their endorsement comes from
every part of the United States in testi-
monlals OF their economy and effectiveness.
The Thompson Houston system provides |
power for the number of lights which are |
needed only by automatic regulating thus
enabling customers to extinguish any
number of lights without changing or at |
tending the generator in any way. An
other advantage is that the lights are
strong and steady, of brilliant white
color. and all Kissing. suffering and fluc-
tuation is avoided Incandescent lamps
may be run from the same circuit with arc
lamps. regardless of their variety or num-
Der. These advantages are possessed by
70 other aystem and are PECULIAR only to
the 1h0mpson-H Houston. This admirable
system has been investigated by all of the
insurance companies, and they have pro-
nGuneed 1T as coming within all OF the re-
qulrements laid down by them, and COM
pletely IN eOnformance with insurance
rules. All OF their apparatus are made of
lrst-class materials and are as durable and |
effective as skill and material can make I
hem, each part being fully tested before {
eaving the works. The manifest superb '
)rlty OF this system when compared with ;
'thers in point Of hrilliappy and economy,
warrant US IN DECLARING it unequaled, and
