THE'BRITISH CORN TRADE.

WEEKLY RKVIEW OP THE MARL LANS EXPRESS.

London, Nov.

13.—The

Mark Lane

Express, in its review of the British corn trade for the past week, says: "Notwithstanding the very cold weather, rain and some fall of snow and Sleet, fair progress has been made with wheat sowing,except on some heavy lands in midland counties, where abund ant moisture has been productive ofdelay. This is also the case in Scotland, where the farmers' energies have been chiefly oirected to stubble plowing and the preparation of potato land for winter sowing, the bulk of potatoes having fortunately been secured before the weather broke. As a rule, however, agricultural operations are fairly advanced for the time of ysar throughout the kingdom. There has been but little alteration in the quantity of English wheat marketed. The supplies at Mark Lane and the provincial exchanges continue on a limited scale, as the weather has been unfavorable for threshing and the farmers are much en* gaged in the fields. The nigh price for money and distrust occasioned by recent failures have been against speculation, but some demand of a speculative character should be experienced shortly, as the present time seems favorable for transactions having regard to an upward tendea cy of values, and the probability of a severe winter.

THE BRAVE GUIDE.

A party of four young men were traveling in Northern New England, intent upon making the most of limited vaca* cationc from business and study. They rode or walked, as circumstances dictated, turning aside from the usual thoroughfares wherever there was promise of pleasure. They had heard of a nicely* discovered waterfall in the depths of the fcrest, and looked about for a guide who would lead them there. **Guess Forrest Graves '11 go along with you," said an old farmer of whom they made some inqoirier. '"Come to think on't, 'twas him that see the fall fust of anybody. You go right up a quarter of a mile or so, and then turn off into a lane, and keen on until YOU come to a house. There's where Mrs. Grave* lives, and if you can find her boy to home he'll tell you more 'bout out-door things than anybody else round heie. Strange that youngster* want to go tramping 'round that fashion, muttered the speaker, as the companv walked in the way he had indicated.

The plainest house, and yel everything around bespoke the refinement and taste of its occupants. .Vines draped the small wipdowsj di.nbingover the moss-grown roof. A plot of ground devoted to flow•rs bore witness^ in its arrangement and bleftding of

C9N»rs,

to true aftiktahaiul.

My son hasguided a few par ties, was her. reply, I will call him. A single bugle-note was anwered with a shout, and directly the boy came in view. Thoroughbred was the comment made by one, and never was this term used more fittingly.

Forrest Graves1 services were engaged, and the party being already provided with food for the day, set out at ones, the guide walking in advance with a quick, elastic step, which was the envy of his companions. He did not intrude upon them. He was simply acting as their guide, and spoke only when addressed, or when necessary to give some direction. He led them to the desired point, where he withdrew to a short distance, yet standing where he could see the glancing of the water.

He looked up and around to note the position of the sun, and said: In about ten minutes a rainbow will span the fall.

They waited, impatient. Gradually the arch grew to perfection before their gaze, and then as gradually disappear* ed.

Anything to be seen up-stream? Nothing, to be com bared with this, re* plied Forrest. You'll find it hard climbing, but you'll need no one to show you the way. I'll wait for you here, and keep guard over your haversacks.

They were not long gone—returning half-famished, as they protested, and glad to find that tables and plates had been improvished for the occasion.

Can I be of any assistance? asked the guide. You can assist in finally disposing of our provisions, was the hearty response.

Thank you, 1 have my lunch and again the boy went away by himself. Later, when full justice had been done to their repast, and a flash of brandy had' been finished each with a stimulating draught, Forris Graves was called.

You must drink with us, if you will not eat with us, now said the owner of the flask, and the most reckless of the party.

No sir thank you, was the boy's courteous response." But I shall iusist upon it.

You can do as you please, and I shall do as I ptafteThe young man sprang to his feet, and with abound stood beside the boy, too much absorbed in his own purpose to heed the quivering lips and flashing eyes of another.

Now you are bound to try my brandy I always rule. You cannot rule me. These words wore scarcely uttered when the flask was seized and hurled into the stream, where the clinking of glass betrayed its utter destruction. Then a clear defiant tone rang out: I did it iu sclf-defence. You no right to tempt me. My father was once a rich nobleman but he died a miserable drunkard, and my mother came here to live to keep me from

ANEW ELECTRIC LIGHT.

THE ELECTRO-DYNAMIC UGHt* COMPANY READY TO COMMENCE

OPERATIONS.

From the New York TiaMS.

a new

An interesting exhibition of electric light was given by the ElcVtro) Dynair fc Light Company yesterday afternoon, at the corner of Elm and Walker streets. The new light is the invention of W. E. Sawyer, ot this city, and Albon Man, of Brooklyn. It is a very simple affair, consisting of a small pencil of carbon a little larger than an ordinary pin, connected bv wires with an electric machine and inclosed in a hermetically scaled glass globe, which is filled with pure nitrogen gas. The pencil of carbon is heated by the electic current to a temperature of fiom

30,000

50,000

grees Fahrenheit, in an atmosphere with hich can not chemically combine. The carbon is particularly indestructible, and the light is therefore produced without any consumption of material. In the ex* periments made yesterday, five lights were placed in different parts, of a darkened room,and all connected by wires with a small Hochhausen electric machine in the adjoining room. A simple key was placed in one of three ordinary keyholes in one of the walls and turned a little. Two ot the burners attached to a hanging chandelier in the center of the room immediately glowed faintly, and as tbe keys were turned, still further around, the glow increased, until a brilliant and perfectly steady white light was obtained, equal to the light of 18 •v gas gets. The key was then turned in another of the key holes, and another of the lamps was "lighted up." In the same way the fourth and filth burners were ignited, and there resulted an exceedingly brilliant white light, yet so soft and steady I tf it dia not pain the eyes. The lights were easily turned to any desired of brilliancy, from that of a mere mark to I light of six times the intensity of the common gas jet—that being the maximum power of the lights in use yesterday. The company asserts its ability to easily fit up lights equal to 30-gas burn* ers. By a very simple "switch" in the wall the current of electricity is divided and subdivided to supply any number of burners desired, the electricity reaching the switch from the generator through a Single wire. The light is turned on or off, or regulated to any degree, merely by turning a key which operates the switch.

Messrs. Sawyer and Man have recently taken out a number of patents covering all the points of their new iavenuon, which arc now the property of a stock company which bas beea formed to introduce the light to the public. Tbe plan is similar to that proposed by Eoison— the establishing of central stations in Marions parts of the rity, from which powerful electric, generators will siipply thenoeOisary eleeuicitj. Tl* company daiitia to be abte to supply tte tiKtoic tig!* at0a*4xiieththsco*t tf or&Mir gas. Whether this will prove true or not remsins to be seeto. The difficulty a meter haa been overcome by the fnvtn tion of a meter which wilf record the number of. burners used in any given house and the number of hours each burner is lighted. The measurement of the electricity used would involve so complicated and delicate instruments that the time plan has been adopted. Mr. Sawyer asserted yesterday that Mr. Ediion was behind time with his much trumpeted light, as the Electro-Dynamic Company have their light nearly ready for the public, and every necessary point to covered by patents of recent date.

Martin Hollinger has associated with himself, in the practice of law, Tilghman TilloUon, Their- office is in the old Sharks building, on the south-west corner of Third and Ohio streets, which has been leased by Mi. Wm. E. Hendricks, and is now being thoroughly refitted. The GAZETTE wishes the new firm a measure of success commensurate with their great deserving*.
