It is rumored that a new electric wire has
been invented which has such remarkable
powers that it is probable that for telegaphic
and telephonic purposes it will supercede
every other cable and wire now in use. The
inventor is Ross C. Stone, Esq., the editor
of Hurllion, who, by the way, is quite emi
nent as an electrician and as a practical tel
egraph man. There are rumors of wonder
ful changes and in this battle of the giants
let us hope that the public will be benefited.
Tammany seems to be in full control of
the politics of New York. John Kelly is
king. Truly yours, BROADBRIM.

EDITOn CHIEF:
I don't know that I am much more of a
bull than a bear, but when bruin gets tossed
I never feel sorry, and oh, how they did toss
the bears last week! An exultant bear
some time ago remarked, when the market
was very much on the bull side, that they
were going to take the bull by the horns.
On-which the listener reminded him of the
old adage, " When you take the bull by the
horns don't forget that the horns belong to
the bull. " The bears forgot this, and be
came bold by continued success, and they
worried the poor beasts till patience ceased
to be a virtue, and when they did turn they
made the fur fly.
