marietta CentennfaICIosed,

MARIETTA, Ohio, July 19,-Ohio Day
crowned the Centennial jubilee with
imposing laurels. Although the weather
was foi bidding, the streets were massed
with $4,000 people, and from tn point
where the fathers landed to the fair
grounds, the sea OF humanity surged.
At the hall more than 5000 lent willing
ears to Ohio's veteran, Senator John
Sherman, whose off-hand speech was
a marvel OF condensed historical state
ments. Senator Sherman was followed
by General Grosvenor, Hon. j. @. Lee
and other Ohio speakers.
The dealing Of the century box, copper
lined, to be opened 100 years hence, was
publicly done. Thus closed the second
great purely historical celebration at
Marietta.

EDISON,S PHONOGRAP PHI.
The Inventor Realizes Hand
sOmeIy OH the Device.

New YoRK, July 19.-The reported
sale OF Eaison's Phonograph has been
confirmed, but the statement that it had
been sold to an English syndicate for
$250,000 was an error.
The Edison Phonograph Company
which owns all of Mr.. Edison's patents
for recording, perpetuating and repro
ducing articulate speech in the United
States and Canada, has been sold to
Jesse II. Lippincott of this city and
Pittsburg, for about one million dollars.
The purchase includes all the improve
ments to the phonograph that may be
made by Edison during the next fifteen
years.
Lippincott has also acquired license
to run for fifteen years for the graphone,
the invention of Messrs. Tainter & Bell,
of Washington. The inventors retain all
their foreign rights to the invention.

Condition of Copper.

At the present rate of expectation
it cannot be long before American
manufacturers will be compelled to
buy American copper from France,
and the price will depend upon the
good nature of the syndicate. But
in England and France the COM
petition of outside producers will
for obvious reasons, be more keenly
felt than here, so that American cop
per manufacturers, living in one Of
the great copper-producing countries
in the world, will find themselves in
the curious position of being obliged
to pay the highest price in the
world for copper. More than this,
our Government, for the protection
Of American miners who are as
sumed to be unable to take care o.

meanest Man ON Record.

The meanest man on record
jumped aboard a Woodward Avenue
car the other afternoon. Every seat
was occupied, and what did that
man do but look out of a window
and whisper something about a dog
fight. OF course, no man could
keep his seat under such a pro-
vocation. When Brown had looked
in vain for the dog fight, he also
looked in vain for his seat. 1t was
completely hidden by that mean
man. who was SO deeply interested
in his paper as to be wholly
oblivious of everything else. But
Brown had his revenge. A lady
soon entered, and before any one
could offer her q seat. he punched up
the mean man and said:
Will you please give this lady g
seat, sir?"
Then they hung on to the straps
and glowered at each other until

rhe Best Kind of Pipe

don't know as / ought 10 tell
you about it," said a we'll known
Park row dealer, " but it is o fact
that the soft, white clay pipe, which
costs only a penny, is the healthiest
and ~cleanest of all pipes now in use.
OF course, the meerschaum is very
good when ii is new, but it becomes
unhealthy the older it gets, conse-
quently it is not fit to smoke after il
has been used six months, if you
have any regard for your mouth.
All pipes absorb, more or less, the
nicotine, which is a poisonous Juice,
and when the pipe becomes full it
unexpectedly finds its way to the
mouth and stomach. | am ac-
quainted with several persons who,
having used the same pipe for o
number of years, have finally be-
come seriously poisoned. The clay
pipes will soak up twice as much
nicotine as the meerschaum, conse-
quently they should not be used
more than a dozen times, especially
when the tobacco is of u greenish
color or at all damp. Now. in re
gard to wooden pipes, they ought
never to be smoked more than two
months; but this is according to the
strength OF the tobacco people use
in them. After the white clay comes
the m%eerschaum then, third, comes
the hard earthen pipe; fourth, comes
the wooden pipe, then the porcelain
pipe. and last, and the worst, the
metallic pipe.
The dealer was asked, Do many
persons use cigar holders?"
That fashion," the dealer re
piled, is principally confined to the
rustic population. In the metrop-
oils it is gradually going out Of
style. I notice it is either to very
young or very old men that cigar Of
cigarette holders are now sold. They
are not very odoriferous. or handy

Der unknown seas until we feel
Our little bark must founder;

Cheering our hearts and whispering,

Could we bear up without thee
Still shine upon US from on high,
Shedding a yellow lustre,
And ever, when the night comes on,
May lights around thee cluster.

A Dakota hurricane.

A clerk of the Land Office, who is
somewhat of a wag. and has recently
returned from Dakota, whore he
was sent to investigate some land
matters, astenishes his colleagues in
the Office by the astonishing fer
tility of his imagination. He tells
numberless stories of the accom-
modating qualities of the average
Dakota hurricane.
There is a man out there" says
he, "who had redemption and
homestead claims adjoining. He
had just proved up the former,
when the following remarkable oc-
currence took place. The day after
his proof had been made, he was
eating his evening meal in the
shanty with a neighbor. Say,
pard,' be remarked, now that I've
got my presumption, I'll have to
move this house into the homestead
claim, as it will be cheaper than put
ting up another Hardly were the
words out of his mouth, when one
of those sudden small cyclones
struck the shanty, and as it may
seem, lifted the house off the pre-
emption and set it down on the
homestead, without breaking any
thing except a shaving cup"
That clerks reputation for truth
fulness has been seriously damaged

l had just been married, and my

that he come to Hicksville and
spend Sunday with me and call
upon the bride. We started on
horseback, but q cold rain storm
came up, and we were drenched to
the skin. We stopped at a cabin to
remain over night. 1t was a little
affair of one room and an attic.
The pioneers wife hung up u blanket
before the fireplace, and behind
this the future Chief Justice and
myself stripped and dried our
clothes. We slept in the attic. and

my stockings, l found a hole
through which my big toe thrust
itself. / pulled off the stocking and
turned it wrong side out, and pus ii
on the same foot. Again the toe
came through the hole, and Waite,
who was watching my agony, said:
Why don't you put the stocking
on the other foot. and then the
little toe will be in the hole" l tried
this plan and found it q success.
and with this began my admiration
for Judge Waite. which steadily in
creased as l knew him better New
