The case of Uri Carruth, the editor
Of Yineland, n. J., who promises to
live with a bullet IN his brain, con-
tinues to present new and surprising
features. The size Of the bali and the
depth to which it penetrated, rendered
recovery impossible from the ply
sicianis standpoint. The TACT that he
fell under the treatment Of home
paths is still regarded by many as
making his recovery still more remark
able. No attempt was made to extract
the ball, his physician depending N
nature to form a "cyst" round i and
heal up. The process has now fully
set in and the patient is pronounced
out of danger. It i now discovered
that the right optic nerve
was injured by the ball. and,
curiously enough, Carruth cannot see
the left side of anything as ordinarily
presented. This affords a remarkable
confirmation Of the theory that the
lines Of vision from the tEO eyes cross
each other. At the same time the right
eyehas acquired what is termed 'tele-
Bcopic vision" He can perceive dis
tant objects, hardly discernable to
other men, with wonderful clearness,
but cannot Judge Of their distance,
often imagining that buildings a long
way of are quite near. This affection
is doubtless temporary, and after some
experience he viii be able 10 determine
distances as well as any one-eyed per-

THE disputes aroused by the ap-
proach of the centennial year threaten
to unsettle the ''facts" recorded in our

Plymouth Rock is not safe, for Major
Phinney, Of Banstable, Mass, insists
that his Pilgrim Fathers did not land
there at all, but at Provncetown, and
he wants a monument erected at the

WE seem to be on the eve Of another
grand era of inventionss1ch as marked
the beginning of this century, annihi-
lating time and space. Steam is to be
superseded by Keely's cold water; the
London Times is arranging to print
newspapers by electricity in a dozen
provincial towns simultaneously, and
now photography or the art Of short
hand writing Is to be rendered supur-
fuous at one fell stroke. According
TO the Revue IHduStrielle, Of Paris, NJ.
Huppinger has invented machine for
writing spoken words. The instru-
ment is described as being about the
size Of a mans hand, and
operates by being placed In
connection with the vocal organs,
the little machine recording their
movements upon a band Of paper in
dots and dashes similar to the tele-
graphic alphabet. Hereafter the re-
porter, instead Of straining his ears and
fingers In the desperate efforts to keep
up with a rapid speaker, will merely
attach one of these instruments to his
own lips and repeat the words of his
orator inwardly. The zip language"
thus produced on the scroll by the
movements of the organs Of speech,
can be written out afterwards at leis-
ure. and with greater accuracy than
the ordinary Photographic characters.

SUGAR EXTRACTION QUESTION.

AN OLD PROJECT REVIVED.
Paris Correspond n e of the Times.

There HIS been a talk for some days,
with marked persisteucy, though in a
mysterious tone, Of a project of alliance
between the Prince Imperial and a Danish
princess, sis er of the Princess Of Wales
AID the Czarevna Dagmar. II is conf
dentially affirmed that the Prince Of Wales
aud the Queen. his mother, are ver> fa-
vourable TO this scheme, that the House
OF Denmark is inclined to it, and that
Russia alone shows some hesitation; which,
however, it is added, will, there Is every
reason to believe, shortly come to an end,
SO that the marriage will soon be arranged.
It is OBJECTED, indeed, that the princess
In question is two years and a half older
than the prince, who is only nineteen.
Those who talk of the match aud believe,
or wish to believe, or affect to believe in
it, reply by dwelling on The eclat and
advantages such an alliance would offer
to the Prince Imperial. 1t would be
like a providential Indication, said an
enthusiast recently ; the three Danish
princesses would be married to The three
heirs of the greatest thrones in The world,
consorts Of the King OF England, and the
Emperors of the French and Russia. We
should bling alliances ready made, and
Germany, perhaps, in view of this position,
and in consideration of an indemnity,
would make the princess a wedding pres
ent of the two unfortunate provinces,
which would be an everlasting cause OF
hatred and an inevitable pretext for
war;"

Homo News from Abroad.

The Associated Press is bad enough, but
when it comes to translating and re-trans-
lating the intelligence furnished by that
great American lie-disseminating institu-
tiOn, as is done when it is re republished in
the Isoo Republics of Mexico, it is great
deal worse. We find in that journal OF
January thirteenth the following remarka-
bic account Of occurrences in this city on
the fourth of that month. 1t is credited to
the Diario Official, which is published in the
Spanish language, and so the "news'' must
necessarily have passed through two trans
latiOns:
NEW ORLEANS, January 4.-General Sher-
ldan took command, yesterday, of the
States Of Louisiana, Arkansas and Missis-
sippi and Of the ports of the East, including

Governor John McEnery protested

acts, which are the first that have ever
been perpetrated in the country.

The Handkerchief.

Until the reign of the Empress Josephine
handkerchief was thought in France so
shocking an object that lady would never
have dared to use it before any one. The
word was even carefully avoided in refined
conversation. An actor who would have
used a handkerchief on the stage, even in
the most teaTfal moments of the play,
would have been numerically hissed; and
it was only in the beginning Of the present
century that a celebrated actress, Mile. Du-
chenoise dared to appear with handker-
chief in her hand. Having to speak of this
handkerchief in the course of the piece, she
never could summon courage to call it by
its true name, but referred to it as q light
tissue.
A few years later, translation of one of
Shakespeare's plays, by Alfred de Vigny,
having been acted, the word handkerchief
was used, for the first time on the stage,
amid cries of indignation from great part
of the house. | doubt it even to- day the
French elegantes would carry handkerchiefs
If the wife OF Napoleon had not given the
signal for adopting them. The Empress
Josephine, although really lovely, had ugly
teeth. To conceal them she was in the
habit of carrying small 4andkerchiefs,
adorned with costly laces, which she con-
tinually raised to her lips. Of course all
the ladies Of the court followed her exam
pie, and handkerchiefs have rapidly become
an important and costly part of the femi-
nine toilet; 80 much 90 that the price of q
single handkerchief of the trousseau of the
Duchess of EdlnburR would make the for
tune of q necessitous family.
