an hour, while her husband and others were
hunting up the proprietor of the store, who
was finally found, and the lady released; but
she was not TO escape with her disagreeable
detention alone, for after getting her dress
clear she placed her fingers In the crack OF
the door and sustained quite severe bruises
by its sudden closing.

How GRANT SAVED A WoMAN's EYE
slGHT.-There is another lady 1 have met
recently who says: "The President has saved
my eyesight." She is the widow of a con
federate officer. Her husband was an old
army officer and acquainted with Gen. GRAFT
before the war. The remembrance of the old
bond of friendship was still strong, and Sc
cured for the widow position in the Patent
Office several years ago. The fine tracing
work upon which the ladies are employed In
this office is extremely trying TO young,
strong eyes,, but fatal 10 those that are wea K
ened by tears OF anguish. The best oculists
warned Mrs. Gen. -. that total blindness
would be the result OF continuance of her
occupation. She tried in vain to impress
those ia authority over her of the impending
danger. Not only her own support depend
ed on the health of her eyes, but the care and
educatios of q young son. Day after day as
she left the office she would go to her room
and with bandaged eyes lie on the bed and
try to pierce the future, that seemed fraught
with an old age OF utter helplessness and de-
pendence. When the President returned
here, two weeks ago, she sought him, and
asked that he would interfere. She was sur
prised at his ready response. A note from
him procured transfer to the library where
she Is engaged in translating important
works for the use of the Patent Office.-V'dsli-
