Death of Mrs KBdison.
}
THE CELEBRATED INVENTOR’S BRIEF COURT- SHIP AND HAPPY MARRIED LIFE.
Mrs. Mary Stillwell Edison, wife of the inventor, Thomas Alva Edison, died sud- denly, at her late residence at Meulo Park, N. J., a few days ago. She was 29 years of age, and leave surviving her three child- ren. The story of her marriage to Mr. Edison is a singularly strange and romantic one. When he first formed her acquaint- ance he was about 25 years of age. He had just invented the chemica) telegraph, _by means of which cou d be t:ancmitted, he ‘claimed, on a single wire 3,000 words a ‘minute. The telegraph, notwithstanding ithis, however, became subservient to the 'Morse system. While working on the \chemical telegraph, he employed several ‘young women to punch the holes in the |paper. Among them was Miss Mary Still- | well, One day he was standing behind her chair examining a telegraphic instrument.
‘‘Mr, Edison,” remarked Mias Stillwell, suddenly turning round, ‘‘I can a)ways tell when you are behind or near me.”
‘*How dv you account for that?” me- chanically asked Mr. Edison, still absorbed in his work.
‘I don’t know, I am sure,’’ she quietly answered ; but I seem to feel when you are near me.”
**Miss Stillwell,” said Mr. Edison, tarn- ing round now in his turn and looking at his interlocutor in the face, ‘‘I’ve been thinking considerably of you of late, and if /you are willing to have me, Id _ like to |marry you,”
“You astenish me,” ““l—I never—”’ “i know you never thought I would be ‘interrupted Mr. Edison, but | think over my proposal, Miss Stillwell, and jtalk it over with your wother.’’ Then he added in the same off-hand, business-like
exclaimed Mies
If you wart to get! way, as though he wight be experimenting the worth «f your money give him a call. ; upon a new mode of courtship :
‘Let me | know as early as possible, as if you consent }to marry me, and your mother is willing, we can be married by next Tuesday.”
This was the extent of Mr. Edison’s courtship. It 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’s all right,” said Mr. Edison in reply. ‘‘We will be married a week from to-day.”
And soit was. The two were married in a week anda day from the beginning of Edison’s novel and precipitate courtship. In connection with his marriage, however, a story is told quite as singular, but fally in keeping with the one already given touching his courtship. It is said that directly after the marriage he entered his laboratory in his wedding suit, and hastily throwing his coat on a bench began work. “‘Why, surely you are not going to work on your wedding night?” remonstrated his chief assistant.
‘‘Suppose it is!’ he quickly answered, setting to work with renewed zeal; ‘‘the Gold & Stock Company don’t care for that. They want their instruments to-morrow, and 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 wedded life, however, is said to have been a singularly happy cne.
Muscle and Intellect
——
The enormous earnings of pugilists and pedestrians of late tend to give muscle a standing that it had not before. But these do not monopolize all the honor or all the prizes bestowed upon muscle. The base ball player is coming to the front, from a financial point of view, with an amazing rapidity. If he be a good pitcher, he can command from $2,000 to $4,000 a year. A good catcher will command $3,000 a year. An infielder who is master of his business
Poor outfielders
] ’ ' can get the same salary. are seldom paid less than $2,000 a year. | These figures will bring jealousy to the 100 | hearts of the thousands of professiona! men

Risks Vaken on Most Favorable Terms. dvct of their refinerice
who are trying to think that life is worth living on an income half as large as that of the base ball player. If they find consola- tion at all, it is in the belief that
brains, in these days, are at a dis- count. This belief is based upon a false assumption. It is assumed that the men
who distinguish themselves as pugilists, pedestrians and base ball players have no intellect, that the poor half-starved profes- sional men are all intellect. Probably it is true that the majority of men noted for muscle have not spent much time in study. Perhaps they do not possess the better in- stincts. But the fact that they are suc- cessful in their profession is proof of their patience, perseverance and industry. Suc- cess never attends indolence and imbecility. On the other hand, the poor, hali-starsed professional man is not always made up of pure intellect. Frequently he is not a master of his profession ; he is not persis- tent or industrious. When this is the case it is not necessary to attribute his failure in life to the want of appreciation of brains on the part of the public. His poverty is the reward that nature bestows upon inca- pacity.
The Sugar Trade in Scotland.
Ata meeting of the Greenock, Scotland, sugar refiners, lately held, it was deter- ‘mined that a reduction of the output was lan absolute necessity. It was therefore jagreed that a diminution of 700 tons per week should be made. The London re- ifiners have been for weeks going on the ‘short output system. The Liverpool re- ifiners have also been decreasing the pro- The troubie is |that Free Trade allows the sugar supported iby foreign bounties to come in without duty.

Leigh Smith,the English Arctic explorer, says that if men under him were reduced to such straits as were the Greely party, he would not interfere with their eating the bodies of their dead comrades.
Lieut. Greely bas written to the father of Sergt. Gardiner, assuring him that there was 50 truth in the story of cannibalism set aftoat; this statement, however, seems only to be meant to apply to the one case in point.
Blaine, in his ‘‘Farewell address,” sug- gests that all our present prosperity in this country is to be attributed to the pro- tective tariff. From this time fourth we must dispense with singing the good old hymn commencing: “Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow.”—Lastern Argus.
A plot to depose President Gonzales of Mexico has been discovered and a number of arrests made. The conspirators pro- posed to make Iglesias president, to assassi nate General Diaz, and effect a revolution. The conspiracy is said- to be widespread and embraces a number of ex-mininisters, judges and prominent officials.
A New York despatch says that a re- markable feature of European travel at that port is the exodus of a large number of Italians, the majority of whom have been but a short time in the country. The Scotia, one day last week, took 600, anda steamer following will take as many., The exodus is attributable to the fact that rail- way building is almost at a standstill.
The exports of refined sugar from the United States since January Ist to July Slst aggregate 72,100,000 pounds, of which 63,700,000 ponnds has gone to Europe. Last year the total exports from this country for the corresponding period amounted to only 15,000,000 pounds. This, says the Commercial List, is a significant fact in connection with the relative cost of production here and there.
The Port Warden of Montreal has fur- nished a siatement giving comparisons of the shipment of cattle from the port of Montreal. From this statement it appears that in 1883 there were 50,345 cattle shipped against 28,401 in 1882; the sheep in 1883 were 1,021,547 as against 641,590 in 1882. For the four months ending August 2nd, 1884, there were 29,565 cattle and 17,351 sheep shipped, as against 28,060 cattle and 3,234 sheep in 1585.
Ths Winnipeg Times proprietors have taken the trouble to send a circular to farmers, irrespective of politics,asking their opinions upon the subject of the Farmers’ Union, its usefulness, and its wisdom, or otherwise, in passing the anti-immigration resolutions at the Convention held last winter. The answers are, almost without exception, a condemnation of the Union and its n ethods, reformers being quite as emphatic in their condemation as conserva- tives.
A representative of the Winnipeg Sun on Monday last interviewed a number of wholesale merchants in that city and reports them as being well satisfied with the situation. Their losses during the year have been little or nil, and a very fair business has been done. Payments too, with the exception of the last month, have been very satisfactory, and an excellent fall business is looked forward to. It is difficult to get money from the farmers at present, but as soon as the harvest is reap- ed and wheat sold money is expected to be plentiful.
*‘Laclede,” in the Montreal Gazette says: ‘*Next November will be forty years since John Alexander Macdonald entered Parlia- ment, and he has been in continuous actual service ever since. Jor far more than half of that time he has been a Minister of the Crown. He is a statesman every inch of him, and fit to be Prime Minister of Eng- land. I think that a double movement should be maugurated, one on the part of Canadians tv do him honor, another to pro- cure for him either a baronetcy or a peer- age. He, at least, belonging to the good old school, would appreciate the latter.’’
Beer is becoming more and more a popu- lar beverage in Europe. Its consumption last year was no small item. A Vienna journal gives returns of the quantity of beer brewed in the several countries in Europe during the past twelve months. The figures are quite interesting. England, of course, comes first, with 37,050 breweries, which turned out about 990,000,000 gal- lons, or an average of 30 gallons for every man, woman and child in the United King- dom. Germany comes next with 25,902 breweries and 900,000,000 gallons. These two countries are far ahead of all the others, the third being France, which has 3,000 breweries as against only 2,094 in Austria and Hungary, though the quantity of beer brewed in France is only 157,000,- 000, as against 280,000,000 brewed in Austria and Hungary. The other countries of Europe are thus summed up. Bel-
gium has 1,250 breweries, which produced last year 210,250,000 gal- lons, and then comes Holland, with 500 breweries, producing 34,000,000
gallons ; Russia, with 430 breweries, pro- ducing 68,000,000 gallons; Switzerland, with 423 breweries, producing 27,000,000 gallons; Norway, with 400 breweries, pro- ducing only 18,500,000 gallons, and Italy, with 150 breweries, producing 4,000,000 gallons. No returns are given for Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, or the Danubian Kingdoms, but the production of beer is very staal] in then.
