The undersigned has perfected arrangements for

cd pursued by the best 0custs in this country and
in Europe, This method is based upon an examin-
alton and test Of the eye, such as is entirely un
known in the ordinary fitting Of glasses-and which
an Qculist only is qualified to make.
Glasses fitted in this way viii not only give the
greatest assistance TO the eye but will prevent pain
In using, and viii best preserve the sight. II deter
mines to mathem tcal exactness what glasses only
can he worn Sithout Inconvenience or injury. Want
Of accommodation and other common defects Of Wis
ion, whereby many persons have been unable to get
ing in this the exact lens required for each
eye. if1a4tss II
The rapid failure Of sight which many persons en-
peieuee after they begin glasses demonstrates
how Incompetent they are to at their own eyes
People are troubled with many little detects in their
eyesight which they do not understand, and ire
quenty force their eyes, although dissimar to lock
through lenses precisely alike; consequently one eye
Is constantly strained and injured This Is the only
cause Of many cases of blindness and In any ease,
IL prevents the harmonious action of both eyes, and
the full Development ot the sight.
This method IL not put forward as In any respect
new or experimental 1t is founded upon lSnowl-

Between Butler and A. Johnson, Gen. Kill
patrick has hard time of it. But the Senate
is not likely to swallow the bait Mr. johnson
threw out to induce it to abandon its purpose
not to consider his nominations. 1t will not
even confirm Gen. Grants brother-in-law as
Minister to Chill; and our excellent Fitzpatrick
may rest in peace, assured that between this
and the 4th of March, in all probability, neitl,r
the hostile Representative nor the too frienGG.:i
President can interfere with the regular dis
charge of his diplomatic duties to Chill on the
lecturers platform of every Lyceum that may
choose to invite him. Meanwhile we trust that
Congress, seeing how easily these duties are per-
formed, may yet find reason for confirming the
opinion of the House, that we might get along
through the next administration without full
missions to every little South American gov
eminent. ncl

We see no reason to doubt the substantial
truth of certain reports of conversations with
Gen. Grant, printed elsewhere. The public
printing has reached mOnstrous proportions,
and much of it is so utterly useless That 1t is
by no means surprising to hear of his pro-
test against it. The Franking Privilege Is
another abuse so gross that our only surprise
would be to find him not in favor of its abo-
lition. And yet, assured as we have been
from the outset of the hostility of the
President elect to these and kindred wastes OF
the public money, we are still glad to find IN
his outspoken expressions concerning them an
earnest of the zeal with which we may expect
war to be waged against extravagant expendl-
lures from the very beginning of the incoming
Administration. Gen. Grant cannot reform the
prOfuse practices of Congress, but he can at
least throw heavy influence against them.
We expect to see a healthier sentiment in
favor of retrenchment among Senators and
Representatives after the 4th of March.

was convicted of the murder, but as the jury
could not imagine any motive for his commit
ting it, and apparently felt bound to find a
motive, they also convicted another prisoner
named Sweet, whom they judged to have been
an accomplice, and who was supposed to have
been actuated by jealousy. Both were to have
been hanged, but in the nick OF time Bisgroye'
made confession which established Sweets
entire innocence. II now turns out, almost at
the last moment, that Bisgrove is lunatlc,
and that he lost his mind in consequence OF
epileptic fits brought on by seeing collier
killed in very nearly the same way that he
killed the murdered man. 1t is very re-
markable illustration of the loOseness with
which mems lives may be judicially taken away
that these facts were not brought out on the
trial, though they were well known to all Bis
groves neighbors. Suppose they had not come
to light until the poor mailman had been

President has agreed to arbitrate between Great
Britain and Portugal concerning boundary
question in their African possessions. Much
more important is the fact that the South
American Republics have accepted the long
rejected mediation Of the United States in
the adjustment of their difficulties with
Spain. If the question on the other side were
now an open one, Spain might be less willing
to accept our decision, since the Cuban revolt
could well be thought likely to place us IN
some sense in the position of not absolutely
disinterested party. But the assent OF the
Spanish Government to the mediation of the
United States was given when it was first
offered, and could hardly be now Withdrawn.

He can't touch the Senators who wouldn't
