A Large Sized Stone Removed From d
Mdn's Eye.
For long time past John Bloomer
employed in the -four mills of VIM. Lea
& Sons, has been suffering with an acute
inflammation of the left eye. He applied
for reliefto a number of physicians in
this city, but to no avail, as they could
not ascertain the cause.
On Saturday he visited one of his uncles
in Philadelphia, to whom he related his
affliction. The uncle advised him to
call upon well-known occuli,t of that
city. Accordingly, in company with his
uncle, the physician who, after looking
at his eye, put HIM under the influence
of chloroform, removed the organ, and
found Immediately back of the ball a
large sized stone, resembling in appear
apce somewhat an oyster pearl. The
stone did not seem to obstruct his eye
sight, but merely kept up painful irri
tation. He returned home last evening
and this morning although the eye II
somewhat sore from the effects of thu
operati on, it feels much better than be
fore the stone was removed.

Desth OfFraDk Phelps.

The death of Frank Phelps, which
took place at Burlington, Iowa, Dec. 8,
will bring sorrow to many friends in
this place, and all over the state. He
was a son of the late Senator S. S.
Phelps, of Middlcbury; and was born
here in 1884. He has for long time
been city, editor of the Burlington, la.
Daily uawkeye. During the war he
was in the ,quartermaster's department
of the regulars for o season, and saw
three years of subsequent service in
New Mexico. He was bright and
genial man and ready writer. We
take the following from long and
|appreciative obituary in the Hawkcye:
MIR. Phelps was an unmarried man
He leaves half brother and sister at
Burlington, VT; brother at Wash.
ington, d. c.; brother at Joliet, H.,
and half brother, Judge Phelps, of
this place, Frank was expecting his
sister every day to spend part Of the
winter here, us ..i..f i..,. ...
He was o Jealous member of the Ma
sonic fraternity, and had reached the
rare eminence of the thirty-second de-
gree. He attended the grand lodge of
Iowa at nearly all its meetings, and he
was held in the highest esteem by the
brethren. He was a gentleman and
with all the instincts of gentleman.
He had culture of mind above the av-
erage, and his classical education at
Union college served him to excellent
purpose in his newspaper. work. 1t
was o matter of almost daily occur
renee for his associates in the sanctum
to appeal to him for the definition OF
some disputed word, or the exact LAM
guage of some quotation from The BIZ
BILE, or the poets or some standard wri-
ter. He had o good memory in that
direction and was well ycrscd in Eng
lish literature. ,eee, of ,ti.rI t.4
He spoke the German language with
fluenoy, and could converse to some ex-
tent in French, Spanish and Italian, and
render the brogue with fidelity. He
was q great lover of books, pictures
and flowers and had choice selection
of the best writers, and the walls of his
rooms were adorned with some fine
souvenirs. 81 Upon literary and moral
topics he was q fne writer, but in poll
tics, commercial news and statistics lie
made no pretentions, because his tastes
did not run In that way. lie had a
fund Of beautiful sen 'inent that often
found expression in rhy tbmic numbers,
even in. his prose-, and sometimes his
pen would charm the muses. with de-
lighttul thoughts. 1.fi. ~ -ss'9

vGen. Grant swinging around the
circle, receiving invitations and reccp-
tions from all the large cities of the
country, does not appear like plain
citizen of republic. Although his de-
meanor and language are admirable o ,
all occasions, yet these receptions look
too much like business. 1t would I'M
doubtedly be better for Gen. Grants
future fame not to expose him again to
the " fierce light which beats" upon
tine presidential chair. His admins
tration during his two terms was not
so successful as to blind the country TO
grave defects in several particulars. 1t
was throughout a period Of decline for
the Republican party, as that of his
successor has been period of recovery,
and no small share of these opposite
results is due to the men themselves.
Gen. Grants glorious services have re-
ceived and will receive all due recogni-
ton at the hands of his grateful coun-
trymen, but if we are to judge from their
careers as chief magistrates of the ma
ton as to which would give the coun-
try the best administration during the
next presidential term, 10 one can
doubt that President Hayes is the wiser
choice. His has been the best admin
istration the country has enjoyed since
the early days. All the departments Of
the government have been conducted
on business principles. His appoint.
ments to all important positions have
been characterized by wisdom and
good sense. He has Stood firm as q
rock in favor of probity in government
dealings, of justice and equal rights to
all citizens Of the United States, and
generally for all the grand principles Of
the Republican party. Instead of wag.
ing useless and damaging fight against
the deplorable position into which the
weak and foolish sentimentality of the
North toward the South had forced the
Republican party, he adopted policy
which, however it may have been con-
temned by blinded partisans, has proved
by its results to have been statesman.
like and wise, inasmuch as it has I'm.
doubtedly saved the country from the
domination of those who had sought,
and still seek, to destroy it. In short,
he has been the salvation and strength
of the party. Gen. Grants admins.
tration looks like that of persona
ruler; President Hayes that of far
seeing statesman. AS between the two
men, Gen. Grant should receive a mill
tary position adequate to his exalted
deserts, while the country should de-
mand that President Hayes should &
second time take upon himself the re-
probabilities which he has borne sc
well. There is hardly an untried mar
who has the confidence or could receiy
the votes of the country to an equal ex,
tent. I'd
