DR.. E. S. CoopER's EYE AND Ear Ixr,RM.-
RY.-Dr Cooper was introduced to our acqaini-
ance several months ago, by letters 10 ,s frorst
eminent men in the States Of Ohio and Illintas.
as gentleman of high reputation and established
surgical skill Since his arrival he has opened
Eye, Ear and Orthopedic Infrmary. in this
city, where the patients can have comfortable
rooms and the benefit of his skiful attention
The following complimentary notice of his de-
parture from his home, in Illinois, We find in
the Peoria CID News:
We learn that townsman and distinguish
ed young surgeon, DR.. r. S. Cooper, starts this
morning on q tour TO Europe, preparatory TO set
Ting in San Fransisco which he has decided TO
make his permanent home. We know of no
one IN his profession more worthy than DIR.
Cooper of the high reputation he hds establish
ed for surgical skill during his residence among
us. For the last two years his infirmary and Or
thopedy have been crowded with patients from
various parts of this and adjoining States, and
the constant increase of their number is the
best evidence of the Dr's success In his treat
ment of them. We congratulate our friends of
Oregon and California, upon the prospect of re-
ceiving surgeon OF such abilities for when we
say that his nntiring energy and fixed determin-
alton to be second to none in his profession, to-
gether with his exclusive devotion to the at-
tainment of single object, the certain pre-
udes OF future greatness, if he lives, we only
give utterance to the private opinion of nearly
every thinking man in the community; for
however little his retiring manners and unsoci.
al habits are calculated TO secure feelings OF per-
sona interest In his favor, such concentration of
effort and unceasing industry, always have been
and always will be attended with abundant sue
cess. II has our best wishes for his prosperi-
ty and happlness.-AHa Cal.

A maiden's tears were streaming
in torrents from her eyes.
Aud her bosom pure was heaving
With heavy sobs and sighs;
Her form of grace was bending
Like f1owret in a gale,
And asked that maiden, gently,
Herscause Of woe and wall.
Wepi she not her loves betrayal,
Or for hopes too rudely crossed I
II was not for faithless lover
All those pearly tears were lost.
She said. and sobbed the louder,
Relating .hus her woes:

An American lady who was in Paris at the
time Of the late visit of Victoria TO the French
Emperor sends to the New York Tribune the
following sketch of the Queen:
AT twenty, her Majesty was doubtless pretty,
and merited the touching title of Sweet Rose
OF England" She must always have been pret-
ty rather than beautiful; her form can never
reach the matchless grace of Eugenie's. Victo-
ria has, however still her charms. Her figure
is naturally mienon, though time has rounded il
little into fullness. | think she must count
even less than the feminine height of the Venus
dc Medici's beauties. Years sit lightly on her
Majesty, though they have cast their rosy slla-
dows over her blonde face. 1t is pity 10 af-
firm it. yet folly to deny it, that the Queen is
now often positively, and without qualification,
really red. Her Majesty's hair is light and SAN
dy; her ferehe&d and eyes fine-the latter
large, of beautiful form and expression Her
nose is exquisitely delicate, and rather aqul'ne.
The upper lip is pretty, but The pearls are sad
ly long aud the small mouth. in attempting to
close over them, becomes even disasreeable in
expression. IN short, the Queen should never
shut her mouih-she looks better with il open.
Her smile is agreeable and aheclonate. Her
quiet dignity inspires respect, and her woman
ly and motherly graces, united 10 intelligence
cultivation. AID iaaliless domestic virtues, rem
der her the idol of her people. The English
love their Qneen as the French do the Virgin
Mary.

D~ On the sixteen principal roads in
New York, out of 12,256,7l4 passengers
carried, only twelve were killed-or about
one in million. All these came to their
death either while standing on, or jumping
on or off the platform. So say official re-
ports, which show that for the passenger in
his seat, the railroad is as safe mode of
travel as any in the world The number
of employees killed and persons run over
are what swell the aggregate of railway
