tween Englishmen and Irishmen.
In a conversation at Washington,
Secretary Sherman said that the action
of the Democrats in Congress had un-
tied the Republicans as they had not
been united in ten years. He thought
backdown on the part of the Demo-
Gratis inevitable, although they might
be able to postpone it month or two.
But it will have to come, in the nature
of things, and will throw upon that
party the responsibility for all the
evils and expenses of the extra session.
All this could have been avoided had
the Democrats done on the 4th of
March what they will be compelled to
sooner or later, pass the appropriation
bills. Referring to the threat made
by many Democrats, that they would
pass the Legislative ::and Executive
Appropriation bills, but not the Army
Bill, and leave the army TO perish, the
Secretary said that the Republicans
could not have stronger card to 90 be-
fore the country with. 1t would be point
ed out that the Democrats in Congress
had taken care to secure their own
pay, but lad left the soldier, fighting
the battles of his country on the from
tier to starve. With such ar issue
before the country, there would not
be much left of the Democratic party.
A TApEwoRM IN A MANS Eye
John j. Andrews merchant of this
city. was sitting blindfolded yesterday
in the second story front room Of his
handsome residence, No. COS North
Thirteenth street. Mr.. Andrews
shapely head was bound up with many
linen bandages, but although his eyes
we're for the time being sightless he
was in happier frame of mind, than
he had known for years. He: has
been blind in the left eye for twenty
gears or more, and during the past two
years be has at intervals suffered the
most intense agony in the eye from
which the light had gone out. Scores
of doctors looked at and prescribed for
the eye, but without doing if any good

geon of this city removed from the
eye live cysticercus, or embryo tape.
worm. This is the first authenticated
case of cysticercus in the human eye
that has ever occurred on the Ameri-
can continent, although there have
been hundred or more cases reported
in Europe, particular y in Prussia.
Mr., Andrews case is every way simi-
lar to the case of the 'ssnake' in
horses eye, which was reported 10 the
Tunes about year ago, except that in
the case of the horse the parasite Ia
the eye was, the doctors said, a COM

gentleman's eye was laryal tapeworm.

Senator Chandler has made two
speeches during his present term, and

MORE THAN IHE1 CAN Oha w.
The democrats in congress feel that
they have, in the irrepressible language
of the Mississippi pilot, "bit off more
than they can chaw." Mr.. Fernando
Wood is particularly disgusted with
the present aspect cf things. In would
have been money IN the democratic
party's pocket if this special session had
not been invented. - Cleveland Leader.
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.-Th
democrats do not like Senator Chand-
ler's way of putting things, and, In
fact, it is sometimes rather a rough
way But it is important sometimes
that me truth should be told plainly,
even plain speaking may seem harsh
And Mr.. Chandler did tell the truth
