A Lost Patient.

A foreign scientific journal relates this
suggestive story: ''Some time since a
lady called upon a celebrated oculist in
order to consult him on account of her
eyes, complaining that their power of
vision had of late considerably diminish
ed. AT a glance, the doctor saw she was
at her eyes, shook his head, and thought
the treatment would require much time,
as there were reasons to fear amaurosis
in her case. He must advise her, first
of all, that as she had informed him she
was residing a considerable distance in
the country, she must move into the
city at once, and thus enable him to see
her frequently, if possible daily.
The lady then rented an elegant man
sion, moved into the city, and the physi-
clan was punctual in his attendance. He
prescribed this and that, and thus days
ran into weeks and weeks into months.
The cure, however, was still coming.
The physician tried to console her. One
day the patient hit upon a curious
scheme, and she waited only long enough
to carry it into effect. She procured
for herself a very old and poor attire,
put hood Of tremendous size upon her
head, took an old umbrella and market
basket in her hand, and in these habili-
ments she visited her physician. select
ing for the purpose very rainy day.
She had so well succeeded in distOrting
and Disgusting herself that the eye even
of a lover could scarcely have recognized
her She was obliged to wait a long
time in the ante-rO0m of her physician
with many others wEO, like her, were
seeking relief. At last her turn came.
'Well, my good woman, what have
you to complain OFF,"
Very bad eyes, DOCTOR" she answer
ed
lie took her to the light, looked into
her eyes, but failed to recognize his
patient. Struggling his shoulders, he
said;

eyes, that is it, doctor.
Don't let them make you believe
any such nonsense. Your eyes are lit
tie weak, but that is all. Your physi-
clan is an ass :"
IAN -"
Yes, an ass! Tell him boldly that
said So"
The lady now arose, and in her Gus
tomary voice said: Sir, you are my
physician don't you know me ?"
The face the sage counsellor made is
easier to imagine than describe,
Gracious, madame he commenced
to stammer an apology, but the lady
would not listen to him, and left him
Indignantly. She never saw the gentle
man any more.

The work contained five thousand chap
tiers, all with running titles. The agent,
after talking on the general excellence
of the volume about five minutes, COM
mences on the headings of those chapters,
and as the woman did not say word to
interrupt him, he felt that he was MAX
ing conquest, and he ratified away so
that she couldn't have chance to say
no. 1t took him nearly half an hour, and
as he breathlessly went on the sweat
started on his forehead, and he made
convulsive grasps at his collar, and when
he finished he had hardly strength enough
left to put on a bewitching smile and
hand her bis ready pen wherewith to
subscribe her name to the order-book.
She took the pen, but, instead of putting
her autograph on his list, she lifted a
scrap of paper from her work box, and
wrote in plain letters, "Ime defe and
dunn" He said not word, but the I'M
uterable things that he looked, as he
turned to the door, would fill library.

The Death of Prince Frederick
william. of Prussia.

A correspondent of the London Times
writes to that journal, from Darmstadt,
on June 1st:
The sad accident which caused the
death of Prince Frederick William, of
Hesse. has | believe, not been fully de-
scribed in any English, or indeed, in any
German journal The facts are as fol-
lows:
On Thursday morning last, at LAS,
the nurses brought as usual, the Royal
children into Princess Alice's bedroom.
On this occasion there were but three,
viz: Prince Ernest. Prince Frederick
William, and the baby, Princess Nicto-
ria. Out of the bedroom opens a bath
room, into which, shortly after his ar
rival, Prince Ernest ran. The Princess,
knowing the window was open, as was
also the one In her bedroom, hastily got
NJ and followed the child. leaving Prince
Frederick William by himself, and the
baby on the bed During her short alb
sence Prince Frederick William let
toy, with which he was playing, fall out
of the window. and. while trying to re-
cover it, he fell hight of twenty feet
(not five, as first stated, to the ground.
The Princess, hearing a noise, rushed
back. but only in time to see the IN
happy child in the air. Her sbrieks soon
brought assistance. but all efforts were
useless, but the poor little fellow died at
about II o'clock He was a weakly
child from his birth, but of lively and
gay disposition, and his death is an in
tense sorrow to his parents, for whom,
it is needless to say, the greatest sympa-
thy is felt. The little Prince viii be
buried at 6 o'clock this evening, and bis
funeral will be attended by the various
officials and foreign ministers. The
Princess Imperial of Germany arrived
Yesterday on a visit of coincidence to her
sister but left again this morning. This
mournful event must throw gloom over
the festivities of the month, in the cele-
bration of the twenty-fifth anniversary
of the Grand Dukes accession, and also
of the visit of the Emperor Of Germany
/ and the Gar of Russia.
To one curious fact must draw atten-
tion-that while in England Court
mourning is ordered, here there will be
none. as the deceased Prince was not
| twelve years of age.

No GAMBLING IN SWITZERLAND
The Saojss Times says that another at

Switzerland has been defeated by the
Grand Conseil of Valais. NJ. Dupres-

at Baden Baden, had asked for con-
cession permitting him to carry on sim

to give twenty thousand pounds annual

that is, during the term of the proposed

institution besides building several

A REVOLT IN A HAREM. 1t is men

the short sojourn of the Shah of Persia
in Moscow was marked by striking
change in his arrangements, for his Maj

termination to send back to Teheran the
four or five Persian ladies who had tray-

accommodation of these ladies, who

His Majesty telegraphed to Moscow,
more than once upon the subject, ana
on learning that apartments in the pal

Shah suddenly decided on their being plac-

The ladies not relishing this insulation,
sent messenger to the Shah complain
ing that they were not suitably lodged.

inflicted had been rather serious, yet as
it was shown that the complainant bore
a very Indifferent character, and that
Cautau was an inoffensive man, who had
been provoked by the jeers of his neigh
bors concerning his conjugal mis fortunes,
the Court only sentenced him to fine
of 200 francs. He nevertheless appeared
greatly vexed at the condemnation, but
he left the bar, and another case was
going on when great excitement was
caused by the report of two pistol shots
on the lobby outside. Cautau, it APP
peared, had met his adversary, Trent,
and the son of the latter, young man
of twenty-five, and drawing a revolver
from his pocket, had fired at each of
them. One ball merely grazed the
blouse of the father, but the other en-
tered the breast of the son, killing him
on the spot. The assailant was seized
and taken back to the court, where he
was questioned, but he manifested no
regret whatever at his crime. He was
removed in custody.

Africa To-Day.
A GREAT FACT Nor To BE Cor RID
OF-FIFTEEN MILLIONS OF. NEGROES
AS SLAVES AND AS FREEMEN-Pos-
sIBuITIEs OF THE RACE.

SIBTLITIES OF TIE IACE.
Africa is a great fact; we cannot get
rid of it. and we are fast becoming con-
WINGED that it may be turned to a better
use than we have hitherto made of it.
The Africans are irrepressible; they
have the gift of vatilIty above most men,
and live and multiply under circum-
stances that would be death to other
races. The natives of Tasmania have
disappeared; the Australians are nearly
extinct; it is but an actuary's question
as to when we shall see the last of New
New Zealanders; and the Indians of
America die out in the presence of the
white man. Nor so the African. Place
him where you will, so long as he gets
sunshine, and under what circumstances
YOU may, and Israel in Egypt scarcely
Increased faster. 1t is now estimated
that there are very nearly $4,000, 900 of
people of African descent on the main
land and islands of America. Africa it
self is more thickly populated than was
supposed Instead of 30, 900, 600 1t
probably contains 100, 000,0 900 of people.
We cannot hope to possess ourselves OF
Africa as we did of America, for side
by side with us on his own soil the At
rican would surely prove the stronger.
So, whether we met with him on his
own land or elsewhere, it is manifestly
to our own interests Ito say nothing OF
higher motives) to make the best Of him.
1t is in Africa itself we must look for
the highest possibilities of the race, for
those outside are slaves or the descend
ants of slaves. The live also IN the
lands of their thraldom, and in the pres
ence of those who are, or who have been,
their masters. You may free them al,
but you will not purge them from the
i'll effects of slavery simply by emacipat-
ing them.
1t will take many years to get rid OF
the mischief which long generations of
| slavery have wrought in their natures.
Had the Israelites after their emancipa-
ton remained in Egypt in the presence
/ Of their former masters, they would
! have been slaves in nature still. And SO
/ it is with the free COlored men in the
| United States and the West Indies.
| Their associations tend to keep alive the
1 recollections of the past and to check
their noblest aspirations. The CALLING
! discomfort, if not of legal prescription,
yet of bitter caste-prejudice in the whites,
! and which manifests itself in everyday
life in thousand cruel and annoying
ways are greatly against them. These
people, therefore, afford as yet no fail
criterion of what the African race is
capable. l believe, however, that the
possibilities of the Africans on their OWL
soil are not inferior to those of any race
on the earth. Their civilization may, il
some things, prove unlike our own, theil
range of virtue and vice somewhat diff
ferent, yet l do not think they viii
prove mentally our interiors, or that theil
moral standard will be lower. ! say
this from no theory evolved from my

From Chittcuden's "Capture of Ticou
derOga.Nl
'E'he Capture of Crown Point.

There has been much confusion in re-
Iation to the true date of the capture of
Crown Point Arnold, writing to the
Massachusetts Committee of Safety, on
the 18th, says:
. The party I advised were gone to
Crown Point. are returned, having met
with head winds, and that expedition,
and taking the slOOp, is entirely laid
aside" Arnold must have known this
statement to be false when he penncd it.
Ira Allen, who was in the expedition
against TicOnderOga, in his - History of
Vermont, p. 50, says, after describing
the capture of TiconderOga, " a party
was sent by water, as soon as possible,
to Crown Point. under the command Of
Captain Warner. Previous to this, Col
onel Allen had sent orders to Captain
Baker, of Onion River, forty miles north
of Crown Point, to come with his COM
pany and assist; and, though belated,
vet he met and took two small boats on
their way to give the alarm to Fort St.
John. Captains Warner and Baker APP
peared before Crown Point nearly at
the same time; the garrison, having only
few men, surrendered without Opposi-
ton" 1t has been commonly supposed
that Warner left on the morning of the
10th, soon after the capture of Ticonder-
oga, and that Crown Point was takenon
the same day. The following letter,
however, now in the possession of Hon.
l.. Hebard, of Lebanon, Conn, just pub
lished in The Dartmouth Magazjne, for
May, 1872. fixes the date of the capture
of Crown Point beyond question;

should come to the palace, where he
waited till after their arrival before he
proceeded to the theatre. It appears
that his favorite wife wished to go also
to the theatre, but the Shah would not
permit it. On the next evening, after
his Majesty's second visit to the ballet
and to the ball at the hotel of Prince
Delgoroukof, it is said that the ladies
were loud in their complaints, probably
being in Europe they expected to be al
lowed in some sort to follow European
fashions. However, the Shah de-
termined to send them back,
and, despite their tears and protestations,
he adhered to his determination, so that
a few hours before his Majesty left Mos

A Misguided Book Agent.

A book agent entered the open door of
snug Pittsfeld cottage one day last
week, and nodding to a trim, bright
looking little woman who sat sewing by
the window, commenced volubly to de-
scant ON the merits of great work
which he was for the first time giving
mankind an opportunity to purchase. 1t
was universal biography, cookbook;
dictionary, family physician, shorthand
instructor, and contained besides a de-
tailed history of every important event
that had transpired in the world, from
the apple incident and Adams fall to
Credit Mobilier and the fall of Congress.
