ANOTHER CLEVER GAME.-It is proposed by
somebody to establish an express company
whose business shall be to take care of the bag
gage of travellers. What commentary on the
management of our railroads and the patience
of the public Every railroad company is re-
quired by its charter to transport reasonable
amount of luggage for every passenger, in the
same train and without extra charge. If the
railway officials did their duty with tolerable
care and promptness, there would be no room
for company like the one proposed Yet
everybody must admit that, ifproperly conduct
ed, it would be great convenience; it would
save many a trunk from being dashed to pieces
by rough porters, broken open by dishonest
baggage-men, lost, left behind, or sent to the
wrong station. The aggrayation would be that
we should not>only have to pay an express
agent for what we were entitled to have done
for nothing, but a good share of the profits
would go TO the very railroad companies whose
misman cement made the profit possible

GoLD.-I'he decline in the premium on
gold to 1899 is an advance of the value
of the paper dollar of the Government
and the bank to rs cents in gold. AL
though gold touched 1888 on the 1Ith of
May, 1865, and averaged I30 for week
afterward, there has been no period since
July, 1862, when it has stood for a month
at as low figure as it stands now. The
principal cause of its present ebb is that
the Goverement has rceently paid out a.
bout 100000 in gold, ana on the 1st of
January will disperse abont s2O,000,OOO
more, leaving the net hoard then in the
Sub-Treasury but little over sso,OOO,O0O.

eTThe New York World thinks General
Hancock far sutsriorto General Grant in ability
and Judgment. That means that General Grant
cannot be flattered into the Democratic ranks
end tttere are hopes that General Hancock may
he. The same game was tried on General Sher-
man. but without success. and the hero OF the
great march has been in great disfavor since
his st. Louis speech.
Es,-The acquisition of Cuba and Porto Rico,
notwithstanding the high price stated to be the
proposed consideration, finds an unexpected
number OF advocates at Washington, among all
parties and shades of political opinion, even
among those who oppose all the preceding pur-
chases, and one special says that il is regarded
as certain that the bargain viii be completed
forthwith.
EB- 1t was announced at meeting of the
shareholders and directors of the Atlantic Tele-
graph Company, held in London on the Sd in
stant, that the gross average receipts were now
about 81, coo day, or eI40 day more than at
this time last year. So much for reducing the
tolls. We have little doubt that under the new
tariff which has just gone into operation there
will be a corresponding improvement in the
next balance sheet

The following letter attributed, and, doubt
less, correctly, to Gen. DENT, brother-in- law
to Gen. GRNAT, may be taken as correct in all
its essential statements:
DEAR SIR.-To be quite frank with
you, General Grant does not wish to be
either a Republican or Democratic can
didate for the Presidency. He would
prefer to be elected by the people, with
out any reference to the present party
organizations. fit is possible let there
be new organization representing the
people, and not politicians. The Gener-
al is now in position which suits him
very well, and be -yill not give it up IN
less he thinks he can be of more service
Presidency if he cannot enter upon its
Office unpledged and unembarrassCd by
party atfiIiation and platforms. lie does
not want to decide upon questions of
public policy until they come up for set
tlement, and hence his reluctance to be
questioned as TO platforms or confined to
certain lines of action. He has definite
views Of his own, which are tolerably ex-
pressed in an article written by young
friend of his for the January number Of
the Galary OF course he must not be
held responsible for all the views there
in expressed, but it gives about what he
thinks of the present political situation.
While demanding perfect freedom Of ac
ton for himself, Gen. Grant does not
wish to act independent of the people.
His care would be, if elected, to strictly
comply with their interests and wishes,
and DO for them about what they wanted
to do for themselves. Let party questions
enter the canvass for congressman, and
whatever the will of the people is the
General is quite clear-it' elected, he will
make no appointments on account OF pol
itical services. He believes that re-
form of our civil service, such as that
embodied IN Mr. Jencks' bill of last ses-
sion, is Of vital moment, and all he will
ask of any candidate for position is his
honesty and capacity. You may use this
note among your friends, and if they
think General Grant can be elected with
out reference to either of the existing
political parties, let them go ahead but
[ again repeat, Generil Grant does not
care for the Presidency if it is to be the

How They Make Glass Eyes.

1t is asserted there are in this city
at least seven thousand people who
wear false eyes. There are two or
three places here where false eyes are
made and inserted. One house in
forms the public that 'persons de-
prived of an eye can have this defor-
nifty removed by an artificial one,
which moves and looks like the nat
ural organ. No pain when inserted.
Patients at distance having a bro
ken eye, can have another one with
out calling personally"
The manufacture of these eyes is
done entirely by hand. A man sits
down behind q let of gas flame, which
is pointed and directed as he wishes
by a.blow pipe.
The pupil of the eye is made with
a drop of black glass imbeded in the
centre OF the iris. The blood-vessels
seen in the white of the eye are easily
put in with red glass, while the optic
is glowing with heat like ball of
goIi. The whole can be made inside
ot an hour, and is at once ready to
put in. The reader should know that
it is simply thin glass shell. which
is intended to cover the thumb of the
blind eye. After being dipped in
water the shell is slipped in place,
being held by the eyelids. The Sc
cret of imparting motion to it de-
2ends upon working the glass eye so
that it will fit the stump; if it is too
large, it will not move; IL 1t fits
nicely, it moves in every particular
like the natural eye, and is quite i'm
possible, in many cases, to tell one
from the other. The operations is not
in the least painful. and those who
have worn them a number OF years
feel better with them in than when
they are out. A glass eye shonld be
taken out every night and put in in the
morning. In three or four years the
false eye becomes so worn that a new
one has to be obtained. Some ladies,
who live at a distance from the man
ufactory, keep box of glass eyes on
hand in case of accident, for, besides
wearing out they will break un-
der certain circumstances, as when
aHate's last lightning quivers from
his eyes,. artisan.

Scraping and Washing Trees.
We consider early winter to be the
best time Tor scraping and washing
the trunks Of trees. 1t is well known
to all observing fruit growers that
the loose bark of trees is the winter
quarters of myriads of insects, where
they securely remain until the ensu-
ing spring, when the warm, genial
weather invites them to quit their CO.
sy homes, end begin their destruct-
i've operations for the season. We
have found a narrow saw, rather fine
toothed, to be Fan excellent tool in
rasping off the superauous bark. 1t
accomplishes it more uniformly tqan
a hoe. trOwel, or other scraper |;
trowel or a short handled hoe, how
ever, is very good, when the other
may not be possessed. After the
bark is removed, the trunks should
be washed with q preparation of
whale-oil soap and water, say in pro-
portion of pound of soap to four
gallons of water. 1t can be applied
to large trees with a hickory broom,
or stiff whitewash brush, and to
small trees, especially dwarfs, with q
hand scrvb brush. Sickly trees,
which can at this season be easily de.
tected by being covered with a, spe-
lies of fungi, or perhaps more prop
,rly peculiar insectiverOus deposit |
should be scrubbed so as to COM
,letely remove this. The mixture Of
will itself benefit the tree, while the
'emovai from the stem of all extra
leous and injurious substances win
i've to it new health and vigor the
nsuing season-in some instances to
surprising extent When whale.oil
oap is not obtainable, ley may bel
sed, but it should not be too strong,
r it might be injurious to the roots +
