"Last summer, DR.. Barbour,

who had been blind for several years.
The cause of their blindness was Cat
aract, which the Doctor extracted in a
most skillful manner. Their sight was
soon restored and they can now see as
we'll as any person of their age. They
can see to read the finest print. One,
Mrs. James Logan, was aged 73, aud the
other, Mrs. Sheridan, was IS. attended

fer much, if any pain during or after
the operation.

the man arrested in this city on Tues
day, charged with swindling the Grover

was given a hearing before Justice
Johnston yesterday afternoon. The ev'

him as a fugitive from justice, and he
was remanded to Jail for culture refer

S.. Muncie, Esq, a Cleveland De-
tective, reached the city. last night, to
take charge of Todd and convey him to
that city. Il seems that the prisoner
has carried on his game very saccess'
fully, swindling the Cleveland Office
out of over one thousand dollars, the
Chicago office about seven hundred, In
dianapolis about six hundred, and sew
eral other offices out of small amounts
Todd was the local agent for the
Grover x Baker Company, at Mans
field, Ohio, where he resided with his
family. He has played sharp game
but before he is through with it We
think he will find that "the way sf the

In one of the Cincinnati church.
es, last Sunday, the officiating
clergyman stopped in the middle
of a long and tedious discourse,
and raised his hands as if to pro-
nounce the benediction, to which
the congregation responded by ri
sing, kneeling, etc. But the mo-
ton was made only to adjust his
surplice, which being done he con-
tinued his discourse, and the con-
gregation resumed their seats with
a general giggle.

Stanton no Gentleman.

1t is rather humiliating that the
country should be convulsed from
centre to circumference in order
to keep in Office a man who is
not a gentleman when measured
even ty the low standard of Rad
icalism. Had Mr.. Stanton been
a gentleman he would have resign
ed on the first intimation that his
presence was distasteful 10 the Pres
ident. Senator Sherman, when
the tesure-of-ofice bill passed said,
If he supposed any Cabinet officer
would hold his place after an in
timation from the President that
his services were not required, he
(Shelman) would favor excepting
Cabinet officers from the operation
of the bill. He added that no gen.
tlenan would hold place uAder
such circumstances. But Stanton
is not a gentleman, and nothing
but legal process or the Execu-
tive boot will move him.-Mash-
ville Gazette.

The Washington city National
MteNigencer is our authority for sta
ting that two members of Congress
who voted to impeach the Presl,
dent, for high crimes and m'tsde-
aaeanorS, within three hours after
that vote got into a hack, went to
the White House, and paid a visit
of personal respect to Mr.. JOHN
SON, shaking him by the hand !
The only reason assigned tor
the removal of the President is
that he has exercised the power
to remove one of his clerks who is
called a cabinet officer. This pow
er has been exercised by every
President from the time OF WASH
TON to that of LINCOLN inclusive.
It's exercise is vital to the exist
ence of the presidential office.

Soon after the war, when an

known as a dam nasty oath-was
considered by some a desideratuns
"a ching of beauty" (?) which
would last for ever,-a long lank
scion of the Confederacy, clad in
butternut jeans, walked into the
Provost Marshars Office at Char
lottesville, and inquired
''Is this yer the place to git in
to the Union at ?'
The dapper little "individual'
presiding over the establishment
replied, in blue-nosed Yankee
twang-
eyes, sir, we administer the am
nesty oath here"
Butternut-"Well, sir, I want to
be cussed in to the institution,
quicker'n HI can scorch a feath-
er,"
Reb's name, rank, regiment, and
place of abode being ascertained,
the oath was administered with
due solemnity and impressiveness..
After its administration our Reb,
gulped two or three times, and.
started out and-then turning,
suddenly around as if he had for
gotten something, thus addressed
himself to the presiding functiona-s
