A NEW CURE FOR BLINDNEss. - About A
year ago, Prof. Nagel, of Tibingen, published
reports of cases by which he had, by the use of
strychnia, restored sight to patients suffering
from decay Of vision or blindness Strychnia,
as is well known, is deadly poison, but it has a
wonderful effect in stimulating the nerves; and
Prof Nagel found that in diseases of the optic
nerve, whether functional or organic, its opera
ton was alike speedy and efIicacious. The
quantity used is of course exceedingly small,
one-loftieth of grain, mixed with water, and
this solution is not to be swallowed but is
injected under the skin of one of she arms,
which seems TO render the result more re-
markable. This remedy has been tried by ocu-
lists elsewhere with marked success; and
among recent instances occurs a naval captain
aged hfty-two, whose sight was so much i'm
paired that he required TO be led about. Within
few minutes after the injection, as above de-
scribed the fog which darkened his eyes became
less dense, and an impression of light was per-
ceptible After three days use of the remedy
tan injection night and morning. he could make
out the furniture OF the ward with sufficient
clearness TO guide himself about without feeling;
"and, on the fourth day OF treatment, without
help, he succeeded at midday in walking alone
through the thOroughlares of the city to the
home Of his family, mile from the inirmary"
May we not hope from this experience that
hencelorth the number of cases Of blindness
will be largely diminished. Chambers Jour
nal.

How Much CAN TAKE PLACE IN THE
COURSE OF ONE LIFE is suggested by the Bos
ton Traveller in the following survey of events
since the birth of the late Father Cleveland"
Had he lived sixteen days longer he would
have completed a century of life, as he was bora
at Norwich, (Conu.l on the 21st of June 1.-THE
summer solstce), 1872, in the twelfth year of the
reign OF George the Third, of whom he was Il
subject rather more than four years; aud
George the Third, after a reign of more than
hlty-nlne years, has been in his grave more than
iity-twO years, Washington was very little
known when Mr.. Cleveland was born, Louis
XVI. had not assembled the French throne, Ma
poleon was not three years old, Wellington had
Just completed his third year, Scott was not
year old, Wordsworth was but two years old,
Fanny Burney was only twenty, Maria Edge
worth but six, Samuel Rogers but nine, Andrew
jackson but SIX, C0lerRige but two, Cuyier but
three, Canning but two years, and Thorwaldsen
but one year. Southey, Byron, Shelley, Keats,
Macaulay, Washington Irving, Hawthorne,
Hallam, Sir William Hamilton, Thomas
Moore, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Palmerstou,
Louis Philippe, FoscOlo, Chantrey, Daniel Web
ster, Henry Clay, John G. Calhoun, Lewis Cass,
and Thomas II. Bcnton-all men of note, were
born after Father Cleveland; and all Of them
are dead, and nearly every one of them has been
dead for many years. OF the great events that
belong to the past, that happened after he was
land, (Which began the year of his birth, } the
| American revolution, the French revo-

man empire, the creation of the present

power in America, the conquest of most of India

INTERESTING TO TOBACCO SMoKERs.-It has
always been takeU for granted that there was
nicotine in tobacco smoke which was thus nee
esSarly poisonous to smokers; but MeSSrs. VOhl
and Gutenberg, in the aTciv der pharmacie, an
nOunce that, after a series of the most careful
experiments with the very strongest tobacco,
containing four per cent of nicotine, they have
demonstrated that there was not Il trace OF nico-
tine in this smoke. There was pyridine, pico-
line, lutidme, collidne, parrolne, cOridine, rubi.
dine, and yiridine-but not trace of that fright.
ful, muIderous, assassinating, noxious, and
deadly nicotine anywherel Whenth the first cigar
makes the young smoker sick at bis innocent
stomach, the nausea is to be attributed not to
nicotine, but to the pyrodine and pcoliue bases
which resemble nicotine closely both in smell
and physiological action Whether it is any
pleasanter to be killed by pyrdine and pcoline
bases than by nicotine, is a question which we
leave amateurs in slow suicide TO determine.
We wonder whether there will be the same cease
less discussion about tobacco century hence.
The way men of science have set forth the in
EQUITIES of the weed, in the very longest and
most unprOnouncable words, has been perfectly
heart breaking; but the votares of the herb
have gone on Tuning and masticatng and in
haling. They may be fairly set down as incor-
ngible. But how will the opponents of tobacco
ever do justice to the theme again, since now
they must leave out of their diatribes the newt
able tom-cat, all Of whose nine tails were taken
away IN three minutes by placing two drops OF
nicotine on her tongue?-N. Y. Tribune.

1t ought 10 be possible to make Earl Granville
understand that we will have no more negotia-
tions on the Alabama business The subject is
exhausted and he has been SO informed Cen
eral Sehenck's last communication should have
convinced him of this; he was told that 1t was
useless TO discuss amendments, and that the
United States had no suggestions to offer or en-
iertain. This seems plain enough, and one
would think it should silence Earl Granville on
that subject, but the noble lord blandly persists
IN urging delay AMI discussion From view of
me correspondence, he says, it appears an agree
ment on the supplemental article might probably
pe arrived at Insufficient time were given for dis.

words expressive enough, and Mr. schenck'-
ingenuity is equal to the demand upon II. we
trust he will contrive phrases SO unmistakablv
significant Of settled and unalterable purpose To
discuss the matter no more, that even Earl Gran.
vilc's persistency will he overcome. Tosave tho

effort and sacrifice, but to hear the last Of (, now
seems almost as desirable.

Mr.. Greeley, though protesting to believe
that the use Of tobacco is immoral and perni-
cious, and that association with Tweed in a
business venture was highly culpable in Tom
Murphy, nevertheless embarked in partner
ship with Tweed for the manufacture of cigars.
He has attempted no defence of his conduct in
that matter, SO far as VIC know; but the Tribune
some days since announced as fact OF interest
TO smokers, that the prevalent belief that to-
bacco smoke contains the deadly poison, nico-
tine, is a mistake. Tobacco itself contains nico-
tine, but two celebrated chemists, having care
fully analysed the smoke from the strongest
tobacco, declare that they were unable to de-
teet trace of that injurious substance This
tends TO relieve MIR. Greeley from the odium Of
prosecuting business he believed to be mmor-
al, but bis connection with Tweed still requires
explanation.
