Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly.

In the March number of Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthley the wonderful story of the life and inventions of Thomas Alva Edison is set forth, in an article by Henry Tyrrell, with the apparent purpose of contrasting an actual living hero, a modern conqueror of science, with the dark and sinister shadow of Napoleon as projected anew by the curious contemporary revival of liis sanguinary legend. The paper is accompanied with some interesting illustrations, including new “portraits of Edison, of his parents. wife, children, and scientific collaborators. Other important contributions to this unusually full and interesting number of Prank Leslie’s Popular Monthly are: M. V. Moore's striking account of ‘ ‘The Great Salt Lake, and Mormondom;” Captain H. D.
