- Editor's Notes
- The electric light is looking up. We have had a fine burner made of a piece of carbonized thread which gave a light of two or three gas jets. Mr. Edison now proposes to give an exhibition of some lamps in actual operation. There is talk if he can show a number of lamps of organizing a large company with three or five millions capital to push the matter through. I have been offered $1,000 for five shares of my stock making at that rate what Edison gave me worth $7,400 a good years pay I think. Edison says the stock is worth a thousand dollars a share or more, yet he is always sanguine and his valuations are on his hopes more than on his realities. I am going to New York tomorrow early, to buy a few books and togo with Lizzie to see if we can get a girl.
