TnE GREAT FizzLE.-From the three days
notice that had been given, and the notoriety
Of the speaker, and the extensive bonfiree,
We we're led to believe that the Copperheads
would put their best foot forward, and do a
"big thing" but alas,
"The best laid schemes Of mice and men
Aft gang ngey."
The Democracy, with their candidate for
Governor, assembled on the corner of Main
and Third streets last night, and simmer
and more unenthusiastic crowd of men never
before convened at a political gathering in
this city.
The meeting was opened by a small gun or
ator, in order to give the crowd an opportu-
nifty to collect TO hear the big gum" Judge
Mason, but anhappily for the unterrifed, the
crowd did not increase, but those who were
there soon became heartily disguised with
The political nonsense of the speaker, and
began to dwindle away, SO that by the time
the Democratic candidate mounted the store.
box, there could not have been over seventy
i've persons present to hear the distinguished
stranger.
Well, Mason spoke, or rather made des,
perate effort to do that thing. In fact, as a
public speaker, he is complete failure. We
really felt sorry for the Judge. We had
been led to believe that Mason was a man OF
| no ordinary character, but his exhibition oil
last evening dispelled that opinion. After
vrithing and stammering for the space Of if.
teen or twenty minutes he finally subsidized
movement which was evidently : relief "a
himself, to his friends and the little knot who
had gathered to listen to the q words Of wis
dom " from man now 80 prominently before
| the people Of our State.
The Cops. have spent their force in Keo
kuk for this campaign. Henry, the dirty
opened the battle that was to be an over
whelming defeat Of the Radicals of Keokuk
and Mason was to follow and tenderly ea,he,
up the bodies Of the foe and give them de
cent burial, but the attacks were so harm
less that not Radical fell, but, ON the 9th. i
hand, their columns have been made strong.

SoME time since small boy, by the name
Of Frank Stevens, who was perfectly blind,
and had been for several years, was found
cropping his way up Main street, asking char
ity at the stores and from those he met on
the way. Happening in this way to 60 into
the clothing house of Vencill, Jones l. Co.,
he was supplied with some clothing, and Col.
Thompson, who was there, feeling sympa
thy for the little sufferer, requested Mr..
Goldman, who was near by with his buggy, to
take him TO DR., Sanford and see if anything
could be done to restore his vision. Many
Of our citizens we'll remember the benevolent
efforts of Mr.. Goldman and Judge Lowe, on
the streets, to procure for this poor boy suffi.
Gent means to remain in DR.. Sanford's In
\6rmary during an effort in his behalf. After
Nue preparation the Doctor performed an.op.
Grafton on his eye for the purpose Of making
an artificial pupil. This operation was en-
,irely successful, and the little boy, whose
eyes before were pearly and totally sghtless,
can now see. We chronicle this remarkable
case to show, first, what can be done for the
ameoratiou of human misery, by properly
directed scientific effort; and secondly, that
all persons who contributed to this poor blind
boys relief, may see how great and valuable
was the blessing they bestowed upon him.
Such an action is proper cause of deep
elt happiness and satisfaction.
