WHEN TO USE SPECrAcLEs. - The
simplest rules for ascertaining the need
OF eyeglasses are, firstly, to note ii you
are obliged TO remove small print or
objects further than usual from your eyes
in order tosee them distinctly; secondly,
II you find yourself involuntariIy moving
nearer to the light than was usual with
you IN order to read u letter or book,
thirdly, il very small objects appear to
be confused after you have looked at
them for any length Of time; fourthly,
il the eyes, after a little close attention
to anything, become 30 fatigued that you
are obliged to turn aside TO give them
relaxation; and lastly, II the sight ON lirst
waking is very weak, and does moi re-.
cover It's customary degree Of force until
some time after. As for the choice Of
eyeglasses, here are few general rules
to begin with: "In the first place, good
glasses ought never to magnify the objects
very much, but merely to show them to
us clear, simple and exactly such a1 they
are. Even in the exceptional cases where
rather strong magniGers are needed, the
proof when they are too strong will
be when you are obliged to bring the OBJ
ject much closer to the eye than a sound
sight requires'-in briel, "eyery person

n. PROPOSED SPECIE BILL.
A bill has been drafted to meet sub.
stantially the recommendations Of the
President in his recent special message
with regard to early specie payments
and submitted to him, as it probably
will be TO the Committee Of Ways and
Means. It's provisions differ in several
respects IRON the suggestions OF the
President, but II is thought he will not
seriously object TO the changes. The bill
provides for the use OF the 30 years. 4 per
cent bonds already authorized by the act
Of July, 1870, and by the redemption act
of January, 1875. The amount OF green
backs TO be funded into these bonds is
$lOOOOO,00O, limited TO $4,000, 900 in any
one month. A further sum Of $50, 100000
In greenbacks is authorized to be with
drawn in exchange for the subsidiary sill
yer, and to this end the coin is to
be increased 10 an aggregate Of Ss0000,.
600, including the 100000 at present
authorized. The theory Of the provision
is that silver change will take the place
Of small greenbRck ones and twos. These
are limited by the act Of 1868 to S35, ,OO0,-
900, but the amonnt outstanding sbelow

Once more the country is startled by re-
port Of one of those disasters which are as
unnecessary as they are destructive. 10
designate such calamities by the name OF
accidents is to misapply the English lam
guage. An accident is an occurrence due
to causes which cannot be foreseen; but 1t
requires only little reading of the HEEALD's
special despatch to learn that parsimonious
mill owners and careless contractors are to
blame for every phase of the Stafford disas-
ter. AS our correspondent telegraphs. 1T
is the old story-an enormous reservoir
and a miserably constructed DAM"
number Of mill owners find their
water supply insufficient so they in
crease the height of their dam, doing
the work in the winter, when wet or
'puddled" earth, instead of packing firmly,
assumes. through the capitalization result
ing from freezing, less solid mass than
could DO found in bodies of earth of ordi-
nary moisture and without special treat
ment Such body of SOIL whether sub
jected to erosive action or only to the
softening influence which moisture always
exerts upon frozen earth, has less resisting
power than should be trusted in the feeblest
dam of the smallest mill stream. The name
of the engineer of the enlargement, if
engineer there was, is not given, and the
insuficiency Of the sum paid for the So
called improvement, seems to indicate that
no engineer of any character would be will
ing to risk his reputation upon such an in
suit to the principles of construction.
AS is usual in such cases, the innocent
will suffer for the guilty. Some of the mill
owners who winked at this shameful menace
to life and property have lost heavily; but
the poor operatives, the occupants of the
tenements destroyed by the flood, lose in
many cases their entire accumulations, as
well as the present opportunity of earning
their daily bread. 1t is to be hoped that a
capable legislative commission will dis
tinctly fix the responsibility for this dis
aster, and that coroner's jury or juries
will find in the slight loss OF life sufficient
occasion for o decided expression Of opin-
ion. It is entirely within the ability of en-
pineers to construct dams which shall be
proof against any pressure to which they
can ever be subjected. Nothing, therefore,
can Justly be pleaded in extenuation of the
offence against life and property of which
niggardly mill owners, not at Stafford alone,
are guilty.

Better health and more receptions are tho
bulletins as to the Pope's condition which fol
low those particular statements given on the
authority Of the correspondent in Rome Of
the London Daily Ne,os Those particulars
sustained the opinion that the aged Pontiff is
at last very near to the limit of his long life !;
so near that it seems impossible he should
pass through the changes of the season and
recover again the comparatively satisfactory
physical condition he lately enjoyed,
and the news that o little respite only tends
to new activity shows that the respite will be
short. His symptoms are such as indicate
that death will result simply from
the failure of the vital forces rather than
from active disease. At his great age the
important organs perform their functions
sluggishly enough even with everything in
their favor, but if great labor is forced on any
one organ it must necessarily give out. Thus
the official duties that the Pontiff deems it a
sacred obligation to perform exhaust the
brain temporarily, and some hours of a
semi-comatose condition precede recovery.
From this condition he will at some early
day cease to recover if this exhaustng &C
tivity is continued.
