MY CURES Are Among You !

Your attention is called to the fact that Dr. Lls ton has been located in Albany, N. r., for over twenty-five years, and is as well known among business men for his reliability as he is among the sick for his skill, and must not be confounded with that host of irresponsible travelling physicians who have no home save where night finds them. For over twenty years he has been at the head of large Eye Infrmaries examining thousands, op- erating daily and curing yearly a multitude.
 As proofs on the strength of statements. we give you the names of persons cured. We could publish thousand cures Dr. Liston has made in your midst, but lack of space forbids. Enough however are given to show that he claims no more than he can perform.

A NEW YORK paper has an account of a
pair of opera glasses found in California with
pictures of surrounding objects distinctly
formed upon the object glass. The pictures
it is said are mostly Of trees and shrubs and
seem to be nearly in the center of the lens
a little nearer the concave than the convex
side. This wonderful sight may be new to
Californians but it is familiar to opticians,
and can be produced any time by laying IN
opera glass in the sun and allowing the heat
to contract and separate the balsam which
cements the two parts of the achroma-
tic lens together. As it separates it will
form figures like frost on window pane.
To the eye of the astonished discoverer they
resemble trees and shrubs.

THE New York Nation comes to the res
cue of the Rev. John Jasper, who maintains
that the sun moves ard the earth stands still.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Jasper is sus-
tained in his position by the unanimous vote
OF his parishioners. Of course majority
canDot be mistaken, more than in Congress.
ut is impossible" says the Nation, "not to
regard this, in the light of recent events, as
part of the great movement now spreading
over the country to give the poor and igno-
rant fair chance in the solution of the lead
ing problems of the day. A good many
branches OF knowledge have been kept until
now in the hands of persons who have had
leisure enough and money enough to study
them, until the arrogance OF this class has
become intolerable. The people are, however,
going to take the astronomy question into
their own hands, ,as they have taken the money
question, and the word of the honest, ,God-fear-
ing laborer, no matter of what color, will
soon go as far about the motions of the plan
cts as that of the bloated astronomer in his
luxurious observatory with his costly instru-
ments, which never would have existed but
for the toll Of the industrious mechanic. A
good deal ofpublic money goes now to the
maintenance Of him and his paraphernala
which could be better spent in beautifying OF
cheering humble homes"

THE Shoe end Leather Reporter is dis
casing the old problem whether the existing
depression of trade is attributable to over
production or underconsumption, and ad-
heres, as in the past, to the overproduction
theory. 1t is speaking of the leather busi-
ness, but its remarks apply to general trade
as well. In conclusion it says: "We have
strong doubts whether there are any good
grounds for anticipating relief to our trade in
the direction of increased consumption or
higher prices. At any rate, there can be no
dispute as to the expediency of adopting and
operating upon the other alternative. That
is the path of safety in any event, even if it
does not prove to be the way of escape from
danger. The precedents are all in favor of
the conservative policy. There are ninety
and nine cases of commercial calamity aris-
ing from OVERRIDING to every one that has had
its origin in underdoing. 1t would be well il
this historical truth were more generally re-
membered and profited by"

Bracket Street School House.
Facts and Figures.

AT the meeting at the Bracket Street School
House Saturday afternoon, Mr.. Fassstt, a
prominent architect stated that it would cost
as much to repair the old as to build new
school house. think he knows as much about
the matter as any person present at the meet
ing, The necessity of repairing or builiiDg
was admitted by ALL including the Mayor and
committee; the only question with the Mayor
being how to raise the money; the prevailing
opinion was that it could and should be done
by direct taxation.
The lowest estimate given as to the cost of
removing the vault, building cellar walls and
putting in ventilators, as offered by Dr. Ger
risb, we believe, was $4,000. A practical me-
chanic present thought it would cost S. OOO
Now call it Sc, 900 and add to that sum the ex-
pense OF building new stairway iE place of
the hre-hue now constructed on the outside of
the building, the cost of which has been esti-
maetd at 81 800, add we have a result of Sc 800;
add to this the expense of repairing the upper
floors, carpenter work. painting, white-wash-
log. Sc &c.-ssy 81 800 more, and we have
$4,000; and when to this sam is added the ex-
pense of building new schoolhouse to accom-
mocate the primary department to cost any
where from $1,000 to $4,000, would it not be
far cheaper in the end TO take down the old
building, and make use of the old material in
building new one?
MOob peOplo WHO nave bIleu tuo GApctluSDb
have found that it generally costs more to re-
pair an old house throughout than to build a
new one; and nothing bat the most thorough
and complete repairs will make the Brackett
street school house fit for children to breathe
in, and when done it would only be a piece of
carpenters patchwork, after all.
| And while, in the opinion of good Judges the
building cannot be properly repaired it seems to
me that the fact that nineteen twenteths of
the parties interested, desire a new school
house. should have due considerations; and that
whatever change is made, should be made In
| mediately, without waiting for the long vaca-
tion in July; for as all are agreed that it is a
positive injury to send children to the school in
| its present state-where is the gain? and as a
new building cannot be built and furnished
during the vacation, the extra time required
may as we'll be taken before the vacation as
after it.

suggestions, but have tried to put the matter In

A PROMINENT civil service Reformer of this
city who has just returned from Washington,
says that "Hayes has finished it beyond hope
for generation" And so it is. With the
most pretentious protestations of superior
virtue, the Administration INDUCES in the
most unbldshing favoritism in dispensing pat
ronage. The improvement in our civil SER
vice which has been for years slowly and
steadily effected under general laws is checked
by the cant and pretence of the silly and un-
practical Reformers, with big ''R". They

them the "civl service of the fathers" with a
