Something About Glass Eyes.

A novel exhibit in the German sec
ton of the Exposition Main Building is
a large collection Of artificial eyes rep
~resenting all sizes and shapes, from the
pale blue to the black and gray. care
full examination fails to discover any
that are green, thus setting ut rest for
eycr the conundrum, ado you see any
green in my eye?' For it follows IL
there are any green eyes among tho
people they would have found their
counterpart in the artificial. Judging
from the large stock of eyes on exhibit
ton, the business must be q good one
in the Old World. Taking it for grant
ed that one person in every 5000 in the
Centennial is the possessor of q glass
eve, the number thus far would amount
to an army Of about 1000. The eyes
on exhibition are gotten up in new
style, and could hardly be distinguished
from the original when placed in the
socket were it not that they keep
up q continual stare. They are
maze up VI IL ilShtt uu'"oio
material, and considerable skill has been
exemplitied in their preparation. Eyes
are divided into quite n number of
classes, and among them are laughing
eyes. These generally consist of q
light-blue iris with radiating swhite
lines, and the iris seems to dance
around in the aqueous fluid. Then
there are languid eyes, piercing eyes,
dull, heavy-looking eyes, and bright,
sparkling eyes, all of which have their
counterpart in the human race. As a
mere piece OF mechanism the world no.
where furnishes such a beautiful and
complex piece of machinery in so small
a space as the human eye, and as an
optical instrument it is perfect beyond
imitation. 1t is bad enough when an
individual loses both Of these instru-
ments; but there is comfort in the fact
that when one is gone tho hand oi the
optician has made another, which,
while it a not give sight, yet it can
help to restore marred beauty.-Cor.

President Grants Views OF the Situa.
ton.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 12.-The Herald has
the following interview with President
Grant at Washington last night;
Upon being asked what his solution was
OF the present situation, he said promptly,
Every, thing now depends upon II fair
COUNT
The charge Of corruption and fraud made
against the Republicans by their political
opponents was then discussed, and he said,
''Politicians in the South may i~nstigate all
sorts Of atrocities, and even be parties TO
them to the extent OF committing murder,
and nothing much is thought or said about
IL, but when fairness in elections, accord
ing to the lawful plan, is insisted upon,
great complaint is made, and there is a
charge OF unfairness.' lie went

lean people that there would be a 'air count
Of the vote for electors in Louisiana, he
had made up his mind some days since
to invite to so to Louisiana certain public
men of irreprOachable character and re-
spectsbility, whose opinions and judgment
would carry conviction TO the whole Amcri-
can people. 1t was not done as a counter
movement to that OF the Democrats under
the call OF their political managers. which
latter action, however, he understood was
in compliance with the request OF the PEG.
pie Of Louisiana. lie seemed TO feel that
the end, in his favoring justice and honesty,
would he subseryed by the course taken.
incidentally he remarked that the sending
of troops into South Carolina and
the Southern States had produced q
good effect, and has maintained the peace.
When the present troubled condition OF
public mind was referred to be said that he
did not anticipate any trouble II the proper
precautions were taken in time. All that a
rupture OF peace needed for its prevention
was irmness, promptness and decision, AS
well as having a force in command to nip it
in the bud.' Here the President reelected

not been followed there would not have been

OF the disturbance had got past his con-

replied, with Il smile. ~ have made 1t II

i never look for it-until it comes, but l
believe in being prepared for It., and having
the means at command to check it.'
A reference to the result OF the Presiden-
tial election brought from him the opinion
he has heretofore invariably expressed that
Gov. Hayes Is the fairly elected President,
but that it is a matter OF duty and propriety
70 submit to the result, as it will be hon.
estly declared upon the counting of the
votes.

IF you have any old cracked pottery
in the house, don't throw it over the
back fence into your neighbours yard.
Save it, and a hundred years hence it
will be worth more than fifty times as
much as now. The battered teapot

THESE are the nights that the single
unfortunate, with feeble calculations,
takes a jug of hot water with him or
her, as the case may be, and puts the
chilly toe and the frosty heel thereon,
and the cork comes out, and the voice
of wrath is heard in the still watches Of
the night, and a small, still voice ia
heard asking, "Why don't you get
marriedp"
A PICKERING pair of Quakers were
lately heard in high controversy, the
husband exclaiming: 81 am determin-
ed to have one quiet week with thec!"
"But how wilt thou be able to get itp"
said the haunting spouse, in that sort OF
reiteration which married ladies so
provohingly indulge in. 81 will keep
thee a week after thou art Dead" was
the Quaker's rejoinder.
A DRoLL bit of scriptural exegesis is
reported in the IndeT: A South Caro-
lima Baptist minister, desiring to inn
press upon his hearers the necessity OF
immersion, took for his text the verse,
"The voice of the turtle was heard in
the land" and argued that, inasmuch
as the turtle had no voice, it must have
been the sound "kujunk!" as he
plunged into the water thus proving q
biblical origin and authority for the
practice of baptism by immersion. The
grave question 10Y arises whether u
baptized ''turtle," as a church menu
Der, is entitled to open or close COM

From the ST. Louis Globe Democratic
Whatever may be the result Of an election
which, as we write, may be awarded many
times TO either party before the final award
is made, we trust that the Democracy will
not deceive themselves, nor lay to their soul
the fiattering JUNCTION that their success rep
resents any real victory. In one OF his bill.
liant campaign speeches, lngersoll described
the heritage Of the Democracy, by saying
that tho worst States and the worst cities,
and the worst wards In the worst cities,
were the Democratic States and the Demo-
cratic cities and the Democratic wards, and
Furthermore emphasized his remarks by
identifying Democratic districts Us those In
which there were ''the most ignorance. the
most crime, the most vice and the most
lice;N and the utmost that a Democratic
victory would mean, II n Democratic vic-
tory has been won, Is that the Democracy
has entered into It's own heritage.

The Presidents Order.
From the New York Graphlc.l


On many occasions President Grant has
surprised the country by the wisdom and
promptness Of his action. But yesterday
he surpassed himself in his order to Gener-
al Sherman. 1t congresses the whole phil.
osopby OF the situation into Il half dozen
terse and ringing sentences. The order ut
tiers the calm, deep sentiment OF the Amer
icen people OF all parties, and the patriotic
masses OF the country respond to the senti-
ment expressed in the words: "No man
worthy the office Of President should be
willing TO hold 1t II counted in or placed
there by any fraud. Either party can afford
to be disappointed in the result, but the
country can not afford to have the result
tainted by the suspicion Of illegal or false
returns.' The object Of the publication is
purely pacific, in the interests OF order and
honesty, to preserve peace In an intensely
excited city which has turbulent elements
In its population and a State whose internal
" known in both places that Federal
troops will protect the authorities and pre-
serve peace and order at all hazards, both
parties will be thrown back upon their 10y

an tullucutly suSuClOus anu tiIHcly pIopOsti,
and pours oil on the troubled waters. IL Is
the advice Of a cool-headed Executive who
feels the responsibilities of his position as
the head of the nation, whose integrity he IL
bound to maintain. The Presidents prompt
and prudent action has drawn all the fire
out OF the public mind and relieved public
apprehension. People have implicit cont :
dence in the Government. The republic Is
more than all the parties In It,, and neither
party can afford 10 make trouble nor refuse
to accept the unalterable verdict Of the ma.
1 Jrity as expressed in the legally
authorized way. The course OF President
Grant commands the approval Of every true
friend OF the country. He was never more
respected than to-day. Time will yindicate
his character. His record will read well In
the calm, clear light Of history, when the
passions OF the day have burned themselves
out. The only serious ground Of criticism
on him has been the questionable character
of some Of his appointments; and these
were partly due to his political inexperi-
ence, but still more to a vicious ciyil-servict
system. But the integrity Of his intentions
has been manifest from the beginning, ant
the soundness Of the general policy and
course Of his Administrator will be made
clear by events. There IL no question that
he has u level head and u sound heart, and
will carry with him into his retirement the
grateful respect OF the people he has splen'
lidly served.

Theory of Luminous Flames.

DIR. Karl Heumann considers the cir
cumstances that a gas-fame does not
actually touch the edge of the burner,
nor a candle-hame the summit Of the
wick, and that a flame never comes in
close contact with a cold body, are due
to the fact that heat is conducted away
by the solid body. The flame gases
are cooled for q certain distance below
their ignition point, and the flame is
consequently extinguished within this
region. The distance between a gas
flame and the burner is considerably
increased IL the inflammable gas or
vapor streams out under a high pres
sure, or is mixed with a large amount
Of some non-inflammable gas.-Mining

A special from New York to the st. Louis
Republican, 18th, says that the National
Democratic Committee claim q Democratic
majority in all Of the three doubtful States
as follows: Florida, 1,40O; Louisiana,
1000; South Carolina, 1900.
Per contra, Senator Conover telegraphed
that Florida had certainly gone for Hayes,
with State ticket in doubt, and the Repub-
lican claim In the other two States was still
firmly maintained.
The South Carolina Board of State Cam
vassers mel and organized on the 18th. The
question as to the. authority Of the Board to
decide contested cases was argued at length,
the Democrats claiming that the functions
of the Board were strictly ministerial, and
that they had no Constitutional authority
TO reject any returns properly authenticat-
ed by the Board Of County Canvassers.
General Sheridan and staff arrived at New
Orleans on the 10Th. There was no change
in the situation, and everything remained
