PROTECTION OF EYEs.-In a recent in
vestigation by an oculist of Breslau,
embracing six manufacturing establish
ments, employing in the aggregate l.
2S3 workmen in the different depart
ments of boiler making, blacksmithing.
turning, fitting, etc, it was found that
80 per cent. had often been injured in
the eye by minute pieces of metal, and
that 40 per cent. had been under medi-
cal treatment for their eyes. The whole
time lost by the workmen from this
cause amounted to 4,726 working DAYS.
Ordinary glass spectacles were objected
&c on account of their liability to be
broken. Mica spectacles were tried,
and found to fulfill all requirements.
The mica used is of the purest kind,
very thin, and is curved somewh hat like
watch glass. II is held In a frame
which fits closely enough to the eye
to prevent the passage OF metallic frag-
meHts.
Mica imparts a pale gray tint to OBJ
jects, but does not impair the eye. The
price of pair of these spectacles at
Breslau, is about fifteen cents. If, from
want of protection, fragment of met
al, wood. or other substance should get
in the eye, it can often be easily remov-
ed as follows: Take a horse hair and
double it, leaving loop. If the mote
can be seen lay the loop over it, close
the eye, and the mote will come out as
the hair is Withdrawn. If the irritating
object cannot be seen raise the lid OF

the loop as far in as you can, close the
eve and roll the ball around few
times, draw out the hair; the substance
which caused so much pain viii be sure

A LYING HE'LL. IN A CUBIC INCH OF
SUGAR.

Last night we saw the hidden won
ders of raw sugar as they Were reveal
ed By q microscope of uncommon pow

will forever set us against all sweets in
that form with an Intensity of horror
such as no man can conceive who has
not been behind the scenes. We saw
the living hell in it, however, in less
than qurrter of an ounce ofraw sugar.
There were myriads, apparently, of hor-
rible insects as large as beetles, and bav-
ing the appearance of crabs. -Four
dreadful legs, with claw-piHcers at the
end of them. Joined in four parts as with
armor, and bristiing with sharp point
ed spears. were in front of the monster,
and his head has long pyramidal form
ia two joints with five finger tips at the
terminus, where the mouth ought TO
have been. The body was oval-shaped,
aud marked almost exactly like that of
a crab, only upon the rims of an inner
circle upon the back there were twelve
more or less of those long sharp spears,
with two at the tail. and four snake-like
tentecula, exceedingly fine in articula-'
ton, and no doubt intended, like puss's
whiskers, TO be feelers, to warn the
hinder end and parts of contiguous
danger. J he reverse side showed the
ugliness of the beast even more than
the diverse, but it also showed the WON
drous mechanical genius of the maker
of it. Each limb was padded by mass
of muscle at the base, which gave the
impression of immense (relative) pow
er, and over the muscles there was a
case of armor, through which it showed.

they were. Eager, restless, ravenous

ANSWER TO PRAYER.-A correspond
ent of the New York Independent, writ
ing from Andcrsonville, the locality
made UNANIMOUSLY immortal by the great
prison-pen of forty -four thousand of the
boys in blue, in stockaie where the
space allowed to each man was one foot
by six feet, says:
Many wells still remain, which were
dug by the prisoners, varying from IL
to 70 feet in depth, now dry. and said
never TO contain much water. AT one
time they were famished with thirst. All
means had failed to supply them. What
could they do? They had a great and
earnest prayer meeting. To God did
they cry for water. Now mark the re-
suit. That very night a terrible rain
storm came on, such as this country
sometimes witnesses. The wind howl
ed among the trees, and the rain poured
down in torrents. Amid the darkness
of that terrible night, to the rebels,
many Of our prisoners escaped. The
torrents of water quilted deep down
yonder hillside, la the stockade. In the
morning a pure spring of water was
running from that excavation; and il
continued TO run while the prisoners
abode there. And still this ''Providen-
tial Spring" gives forth its ever-fiowing
water. have just tasted of that sacred
spring.

GRN. CUsTAR,S REPORT.

a long report has been received at mil
litary headquarters. ST. Louis, from Gen.
Custar. detailing his operations in the
field. Alter breaking camp at Medicine
Bluff creek, the first signs OF Indians were
discovered on the 18th of March. and
the whole command, numbering l 800
men. moved rapidly, making daily
marches two or three times as long as
those ofthe Indians. Tents were burn
ed, and all blankets, except one per man,
aud all surplus clothing shared the same
fate. On the 18th, they reached a camp
ground which had been abandoned only
two days before About the same time
a herd of ponies, in charge of two Indi-
ans, was discovered. Custar determined
to capture the herd. but after proceed
ing some two milo S saw in the distance,
partially concealed behind the Sand
Hills, body of Indians. After good
deal of signaling. eight of them came
out, from whom Custar learned that 260
Cheyenne lodges were encamped within
ten or twelve miles, 200 OF which were
directly in front of small stream.
Medicine Arrow, Chief of the Chey-
eDHe, and several other noted Chiefs,
then rode up. Among the POO lodges
were those of the Dog Soldiers" the
most mischievous, bloodthirsty, and
barbarous bands of Indians that infest
the Plains. Gen. Gustav first intended
to attack this villainous lot, when he
discovered that the Cheyennes held two
white female captives, Mrs. Morgan and
Miss White. He concluded not to do
so, at least until he had those women
out OF the hands of sayages. lie there
fore went with "Medicine Arrow" to
his lodge in the center of the village.
Before entering the village he perceived
the greatest eXcitemehta and noticed that
everything WIS prepared for fight. The
General thinks that had he then been
compelled to attack them with his fatig-
ued troops, he could not have effected
more than the captu OF their lodge. He
ordered the arrest of the chiefs big
Head" and Dull Knife" intending to
hold them under guard as hostages for
the women captives. After considerable
parleying, and only when the rope and
tree were chosen to hang the imprison-
ed chiefs, did the Indians deliver ny
their captives. The story of their treat
ment told by the captives, is of such bar
barous eruelties aud enormous indigni-
ties that it is surprising that civilized
beings could have endured it and sur
vived. The Indians express themselves
heartily sick of war, and are willing to
go to that part of the country which has
been designated for them. The General
did not lose single man of his com
mand. He concludes his report with
the following words: 'Inow hold cap
tive Cheyenne chiefs as hostages for the
good behavior of their tribes, and for the
fulfillmeGt of the promise of the latter
to come in and conform to the demands
of the Government. This consider is
the end ofthe Indian war"

You wish to dress your wife better

A lucid statement of the questions at
issue in tile present contest between
Cuba and the Spanish Government is
contained in pamphlet entitled The
Case Of Cuba, recently published for
the Cuban Association, by the Ameri-
can News Company. The gist of the
controversy, as here explained, may be
stated in few words, namely: Tie
existing system regards Cuba as sim
pie property, ignoring her physical,
social, and national condition, contrary
to the principles of justice, aud the de-
mands of the age, and tends to keep
alive in the breasts of the people spirit
of characterization which is no less at
war with the prosperity of the island
than with the sovereignty of Spain.
The Spanish rule represents an abso-
lutte bar TO the development of the nat
urai resources of Cuba, and is shackle
on her trade, more especially with the
United States, whose position aud pur-
suits present the greatest opportunities
of market and traffic. The essay, al
though written in a subdued and tenn
perate tone, with no appeals to the
spread eagle patriotism of the Anieri-
can people, is pointed and forcible, and
can hardly fail to produce an impress
ion in favor of the cause to WHICH it is
devoted.

IMPORTANT TO LETTER WRITER'S.

According to recent change in the
regulations of the Post Office Depart
ment, no letters addressed to initials will
be delivered at any residence nor in any
Post Office Box. The man Who adj
dresses his communication to a. ID. c.,
box l0.001, may rest assured that his
epistle will never be deposited in the
box in question; but that, OH the other
hlnd, will be Immediately aud eflectual-
ly destroyed.
1t has been said that sword to the
wise is sufficient" but i'll this case either
the people are not SO wise As they might
be, or else one word is not quite suIfi-
cient to convince them, for we are con-
tinually hearing complaints that letters
addressed to initials or obvious MONIES de
plume have failed to reach their desti-
nation.
The information we desire to impress
upon the popular mind, especially COLI
Germs advertisers i'll the public press.
Five out of six miscellaneous. advertise
mcnts, such as Wants" or Lost" aud
"Found" notices, simply bear the initials
of the advertisers, and in very many of
these instances the address is not to the
newspaper office, hut to some box in tho
Post Office. Such advertisers may be
certain that not a single reply to them
will ever reach them. The letter, if not
addressed to the office of the paper. must
be directed to the name and not to the
initial OK nom dc plume of the party re-
cipient.
That the above is fact can readily be
learned from the Post Office aul horities
of the city. Advertisers in particular.
and the public in general. will see the
necessity of governing themselves ac-
cordingly. AS for the reason of the
above regulation, it is probably inferred
b. the authorities that if a man has le-
ultimate correspondence, he viii not
care to see other than his own name,
while if his correspondence is not legit-
mate, it is but wise to prevent him from
INDUCING therein.-4nitt raRkee Sentinel.

A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENTAL gentle
man relates that many years ago he WAS

his walks. he strolled into the quiet
churehyard, where repOse the bodies o.

Near grave in corner of the church.
yard he noticed lady with little girl
(the latter about twelve years of age,)
TO whom she was relating the story of
the Dairyman's Daughter, whose re-
mains lay beneath their feet. AS the
lady proceeded with the narrative, she
observed the little girl lift up her eyes
filed with tears, and heard her say she
would try and be as good as the Dairy
mans Daughter had been. After plant
ing beautiful liiy on the grave, they
walked slowly away. The gentleman
upon making inquiry, found that the
lady was the Duchess of Kent, ard the
little girl her daughter. The latter is
now Queen of England.

A German gentleman who lately
Travelled in the United States, and who
upon his return has, of course, publish
ed book about his meandcrings, mem
tiOns a curious misfortune which befell
him in Washington. He states that he
called upon the late Mr.. Andy Johnson,
and that, while alone in room with
that parsonage, he was treated in the
most cruel aud remorseless way. I'm
able to escape, he was subjected to q
speech of sixty minutes in length,
enunciated by the late President with
much vehemence and accompanying
gesticulation. That this Inflated for
eigner survived, is evident from the
fact that he has printed his book; but
next TO those recorded in works OF Cen
trail African travel, we consider this to
be the most extraordinary of deliver
ances from imminent peril. If the
Teutonic adventurcr had been disCoV-
cred dead upon the floor of the den,
with Mr.. johnson still continuing his
Grafton over the remains. we should
not have been in the least astonished,
though what the coroner might have
said under such suspicious circum-
stances would not, probably. have been
agreeable to the Presidential ears. We
refer to this little incident because we
think that it may be turned TO public
good. If a man be big with II speech,
or as, in Mr.. Johnson's case, with TO-
000,000,000 "a superfetation) of speech
es, instead of venting them upon the
public, how much better it would be to
have some poor devil, some Newman
Noggs, to listen to him in the attic, or
the cellar, or in one of the out houses.
The economy of this course is apparent.
There would be no reporting, no print
ing and DO franking, yet the orator would
How long the auditor would survive in
this hard service would depend upon
the strength of his constitution; but
the preference given to deaf listeners
would undoubtedly result in a great
saving of life.-Neao York Tribune.
