General John f. Miller, of san Fran
cisco. while in the Union service at Lib
erty Gap, Tennessee, on the 9th of July,
1868, received a bullet in the ey and was
expected to die Of the wound. Though
his ife was spared he never entirely re-
covered the injured eye has often suffer
ed neuralgia pans and OF late the whole
one threatened TO become weak through
sympathy: He consulted Dr. Gruening,
Il San Francisco surgeon. and his worst
fears were confirmed The only resort
which offered itself to save the sound eve
was to subject the other to an operation.
About a week ago the General consented
to adopt the doctors proposition. An in
cison was accordingly made, and the eye
ball was raised. Behind it was dark
substance which, upon examination, PROV
ed to be the tapering end of an Enfield
rlle-ball The ball had adhered to the
bone in one place and was fast III its
place; but as it yielded to the instrument
it was speedily extracted The eye was
then dressed, and the General was lett IN
a comfortable situation. The ball was
found to weigh just one ounce.
The Empress Josephine was very fond
of perfumes and above all of musk. Her
dressino-room at Malmaison was filled
with it in spite Of Napoleon's frequent re-
monstrance. Many years have elapsed
since her death, and the present owner of
Malmaison has had the wall of that dress
ing-room repeatedly washed and painted !;
but neither scrubbing, nor acquafortis, nor
paint has been sufficient to remove the
smell Of the good Empress musk, which
continues as strong as if the bottle which
contained it had been but yesterday re-
moved.

you for the bogus impositions that

"a good many folks do that same.

floor / was without doubt the nearest
a perfect nobody ever seen or heard of
on earth. When we were told TO- ad-
dres partners l didn't know whether
to make an obeisance, say good even

l been asked if l was lost | should
have disposed Of my last affirmative and
stood forth complete negative; for
beyond that didn't know anything
nor anybody, where came from last
or where ! was going to next; and
had anyone asked my name I'd have
told them NO. When the professor
commanded me to go up one side I
was sure to be coming down t'other,
and when he told us to swing never
could catch anyone until the operation
was all over. and when he sung out
any man ls7 (or something that sound
ed very like it) then l shouted keno.
At that call | was always able to in
form his honor with great promptness
and entire truth that l was the bella
ted individual. Then we had single
handed. drunken, revolutionary sort Of
dances.
In these l never lost my partner,
though what was perhaps worse, l
never failed to lose my balance. A.
ter the first dozen revolutions my con-
dition was always very interesting to
a spectator not particularly sentimen-
tai. | bore a strong resemblance to
a sea-sick landsman clinging. to the
mast Of clipper ship under full head
way. A good artist, by sketching me
at that time could have produced the
most powerful illustration of forlorn
hope in existence.

The BEST Wool TO RAlsE.-Worst.
ed wools are more valuable now than
clothing wools. It is not good farm
ing to spend time on the less valuable
production. Cheap clothing has
forced the worsted into general use,
and manufacturers will make that
kind of goods for which there is most
demand. Grant was right about the
wool question, as the dealers tell me
they find but little Of the wool that
used to come from Washington Coun-
ty, Penn. Nearly all the clothing
wool of the best grades comes from
the South Sea and South America,
and l hope the time will soon arrive
when there will not be grown a pound
of extra clothing wool i'll this country.
1t has always been wool of the aris-
tocracy, and as general thing it has
not been useful to the million. It is
not cheap wool to raise nor useful to
the poor man when raised. OF the
capacity Of our country to produce
wool and sheep there can be no doubt.
But England laid the foundation Of her
manufacturing prosperity in her comb
ing wools, and so must this country
till we get cheaper labor.
