freshest of the best, comprising everything of
interest iu the current newspaper literal are of
the day.
IY\ Its editorial department :s full, br’gbt aud
vivaciovs. and its aud opinions are
more widely quoted than those of any Southern
journal. It discusses all questions of public in
terest. and touches upon a’l current themes.
V. “Bill Arp,” the most eeui il of humores.s
will continue to contribute’to its columns.- Oct
Si” and “Uncle Benins” will work in thea* suer ai
fields, and will furnish fun both in prose ana
verse.
VI. It is a complete news, family and ag-i* u’-
tural journal. It is edited with the greatest cave,
and its columns contain everything of mtcrest
in the domain of politics, liters;lire ami science.
VII. In addition to these, full reports of rhe
Supreme Court, and of the proceedings o. i.e
General Assembly, will bepubUsbed. and uo pa ns
will be spared to keep the paper to is present

Edison's Marriage.
The sioi y of Eiiison’s courlublj),
while it lucks I he rosetite (i:i;re of ro
mance, il ustmles the man’s faculty
for goiiii- to the heart of things with
the smallest possible amount 'j/ppf 11
cnuilocution. When lie wits exrr

little automatic telegraph system, he
perfecteil a contrivance for prodne

of a key-board. Amoug the young
women whom he employed !o man
ipulate tlieve machines, with a view
to Usfiog their capacity for speed,
vi as a rath; r demure young person
who attended to her work and never
raised her eyes to the incipient
genius. One day Edison stood ob
serving her as she drove down one
key after another with her plump
fingers, until, growing nervous un
der his prolonged stare, she
dropped her hands idly in her lap
and looked up helplessly into bis
face. A genial smile, such as the
irreverent paragraphists have re
fel.red to as “the Edison grin,” over
spread Edison’s face, and he pres
ently inquired, rather abruptly:
“Wliat do you think of me, little
g ri? Do you like me? Don’t be iu
any hurry about telling mo. It
doesn’t matter much unless yon
would like to marry me.”
The young woman was disposed
to laugh, but Edison went on:
“Oh, I mean it. Don’t be in a
rush, though. Think it ove: - ; talk
1o your mol her about it, and let rue
know soon m conveuent —Tne.-aUy,
say. llow will Tuesday suit you,

Ellison’s shop was at Newark in
ilio.e day s ', aul one lrght a friend
o' his, emp’oyed in the main office
of toe Western Union telegraph
company iu New York, returning
home bv the last train, saw a ii "lit in
Edison’s private laboratory, and
climbed the dingy stairs to find his
friend in one of llis characteristic
si npovs, h;df awake and half dozing
over some intricate point in elec
trical science which was baffling
him.
‘TITIo, Tom!” cried the visitor
cheer ly, “what are yon doing here
this late? Aren’t you going home?”
“What time is it?” inquired Eoi
son, sleepily rabbi,lg liis eyes, and
stretching l.ke a lion suddenly
aroused.
“Midnight, easy enough. Come
along.”
“Is that so?” returned Ed ison in
a dreamy sort of way. “Gy George,
I must go home, then. 1 was mar
ried to-dav.”

Kerosene Oil and Diphtheria.—
A correspondent of the Pittsburg
(Peun.) Republican writes from
West Chazy: “Allow me to say a
few words of the greatest import
ance to the public, through your
journal, in regard to the terrible
disease diphtheria, which is raging
with great distruction of lives
throughout the country. It h s
raged here to a fearful extent, quite
a large number < f cases proving
fatal. There is a family living here
by the name of Light, a miller, who
moved here from Rochester this sea
son. Mrs. Light said to some of the
neighbors that previous to iuoviug
here she had au attack of diphtheria,
ami ciTled herself by the use of ker
osene oil as a gargle, also swal
lowed some; but the remedy was bo
simple that our citizens didn’t think
any thing of it until five of Joseph
Jelley’s children were taken down
with the diphtheria, their throats
became swollen and cankered terri
bly. Mrs. Jelley sent after her
neighbor, Mrs. Milliette, who had
lately lost a son by tue disease,
to ascertain whether it was really
diphtheria or not. Mrs. Milliette
pronounced it diphtheria io a very
dangerous form. Mrs. Jelley said
she would use Airs. Light’s remedy
kerosene oil—which she gave her
children as a gargle, also had them
swallow some. The childeru recov
ered rapidly, and iu a few days were
out on iha street. Several other
Cures are mentioned.”

Specimen Fasting Girla.
Miss Mollie Fancher, of Brooklyn,
who has gained so mnch notoriety
ub the champion fasting-girl, having
denied f he *♦''*•- 'June tor thirteen
yeais she has eaten next to nothing,
UfiPtSiSa not be classed among the
many other tu’hgnd fasting-girls,
each of whom, on investigation,
proved to be a fraud. Her case,
according to her own statement*
printed in yesterday’s Star, is a
very ordinary one. She is partially
paralysed aud subject to epileptic
tits, and, consequently has for along
time been confined to ber bed. She
scarcely ever moves, and think*
tie, so that no part of ber sywtem ia
brought into active play, and the
quantity of food she needs to aoa 4 -
tain life is, as a natnral consequence,
very small, Among other recent
cases of so-called fasting, a few ara
here given, simply to show that,
even if the grossly exaggerated re
ports about Mias Fancher’* eM had
not received their qniems from her
own lips, there wa* every reason td
believe them untrue.
In 1872 there was an alleged faak
in g girl, named Mary Weston, re
sidng in the village of Causeway
head, near the Bridge of Allan, En*
gland. When a newspaper octree
pondent called npon her ahe wa*
reported to have subsisted for nearly
five years without partaking of any
nourishment. She wa* visited 4k
year after, when she lay in exactly
the same condition. A rhamamtte
attack had left her limb* swolletv.
Upon close investigation it was
fouud that she certainly took nour
ishment, though it consisted merely
of an occasional morsel of apple and
a teacup full of milk every morning
and evening.
Carmarthenshire, in Walea, fnr
nishe* a singular story of another
alleged fasting girl, named Sarah
Jacobs. A correspondent who vis
ited her wrote: “I found the girl
lying on her back iu bed in the bed
room which her parents occupied.
The organs of selfesteem and firm
ness are fully developed, indicating
much mental susceptibility and cer
ebral activity. She has not the
power of moving her body. The left
side is quite paralyzed, bat she can
use the right hand a little, the skin
of which is red, as if blood had con
gested iu the capillariea. The hand
felt cold and clammy; the muscle*
are shrunk and flaccid to thetonch.
There is no arterial action ia the
wrist, but a little in temples. Her
face looks full and healthy. The
brain seems active. She has fits sev
eral times a day, lasting three or
four minutes, irihe is just twelve
years old. I heard rumors as to her
existing without food or drink, but
could learn nothing decisive. I was
told I hat she lay six weeks in an on
conscious tit, during which time sh*
ate nothing. Then she called for
milk, aud took this and a little apple
occasionally. Her parents say that
for sventeen months she has not
eaten any thing at all, and has no
desire for drink. No evacuation*
are noticed, bat it is a question
whether a little water is not some
times passed. Her abdomen is not in
a collapsed (date, but full, and even
distended beyond normal propor
tions.” —New York Star.
Colored
can papers .have been shrieking
themselves hoarae over the fact that
there are no negro representative
in Congress from the South. Neither
are there any from the North. New
York Republicans could have sent
half a dozen negroes to Congrese, if
they had chosen; Petinsylvaniacould
have sent a dozen and Massachu
setts could have been represented
by negroes solely at Washington, if
she had desired it. But while they
are demanding that theSoutb should
send negroes to Congress, they are
very careful not to send any them
selves. In point of fact the conntrt
has yet to hear the first instance
where a negro has been elected to
any office, great or small, in the
North; and it cannot be forgotten
that a few months ago white men
iu New York State refused to serve
on the same jury with negroes. In
view of these facts, it would be in
better taste for Northern journals
to say nothing more on this subject.
The death of Princess of
Hesse conveys a warning which
should not be forgotten. The phy- ,
sicians who have investigated the
cause of the peculiar virulence of the
diphtheria which attacked her fam
ily with such fatal results have
agreed that the rapid spread of the
infection was entirely due to im
prudent kissing. A child with a
sore throat ought not to bo per
mitted to kiss auy of its companions.
To refuse hospitality, and not t<S
1 saceor the poor, are srns.
