COLOR BLINDNESS.

Dr. B. Joy Jeffries some time ago discov, cred that color blindness is the great hind rance to progress, and has ever since labored with much assiduity to convert others to his opinion. He, or some of his converts, or both together, got the Legislature of this State to pass a law decreeing the examina- tion of all the eyes of all the railroad men of Connecticut, at a cost to the railroad compa- nies of two dollars for each man examined. The examination of men in the employ of the Consolidated railroad is now going on in this city, and a number of men who have hereto fore performed their duties satisfactorily, and would doubtless continue to, have been thrown out of their situations. The exami- nation of railroad men for color blindness and other defects of vision may be, as now conducted, great reform, and may reduce the number of railroad accidents in this State, but practical men who ought to know what they are talking about characterize it a humbug. Whether wholly humbug or not it is "a fat thing" for the doctors who do the work, and an imposition, so far as it's exces- sive cost is concerned, on the railroad con- panies. The Legislature was altogether too generous with the money of the railroads when it ordered this examination.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 As other journals have sent their reporters to several men who are not friendly disposed towards me in politics, and have cuIled out every statement that would place me in the worst light possible and as they are willing to loan the use of their columns for this pur- pose, and absolutely refuse me the privilege to reply, appeal to you to publish my reply. Two months ago I urged the princi- city to issue @ call for a gathering to consider the situation. They said they would like to see movement but everything was dead, and they did not believe ten men could be got together. 1 urged them again and again to sign call for meeting. They said it no use and refused then put notice in the papers for all interested men of our party to meet at Franklin Hall. Our To- cal papers stated that only six were present, but there were eleven. We appointed another meeting, when nineteen were present. We continued to meet, and in my exertions, as the movement progressed, I was fought inch by inch. Every foot of ground pupils of the Greenback Vatican, yet notwithstanding this we succeeded in forming a club of twenty members Steadily we gained ground against the mighty power of the Sage of East street, until our club now numbers forty-seVen members, and there Is now prospect of @ Greenback movement from every ward in the city.
 In relation to charges of ignorance from 'the Sage of East street." plead guilty. I always knew I was strongly tainted with it, and when was constructed, had possessed the power, should have seriously objected to so much of it being put into my organiza- tion. Were we wise enough, the principal evils of the human race would soon vanish Nearly all our woes are the results of ignor- ance, and I have my full share of it, but it is hair is white with the frosts of sixty winters, and utility, and who has far-seeing faculties and great powers of mind, to bounce with such force on such an insignificant, ignorant object would strike a fool or kick cripple but such are the ways of the world. The strong man tramples on the weak. This principle we propose to combat It is the cornerstone of the third party, and for one will still move on, no matter what are the obstacles. Society on this question is divided into two classes. On one side are the class, the producers, the tramps, the paupers, the beggars. On the other side are the bullionists, the bankers, the bond makers and the purse-proud aristocracy. We will fight until death this system that has the human race, and we never will abandon @ principle or point of our doctrine until we surrender into the hands of that great Judge in whose presence the poor est rag on the poorest beggar will shine with the splendor of kings coronation garment

Women at the Beach.

DOSeOAA
 Kind reader, didst ever see two women bathe? They emerge from their bathhouse looking as though they had stolen something and expected to see a burly policeman bob around the corner, clap his hands upon them, and exultantly cry 'Now pve got you" Then they trip along half dozen steps, not altogether like Dundreary or sandpier, but somewhat resembling both. Then one says, 'tOh, dear !'' and reaches down to pick peb- ble out of her shoe, while the other takes the opportunity to yell like pair of partners, and then runs back with all her might to the bath house. Her mate, of course doesn't get the pebble out of her shoe, but gets sever- al more in to keep it from getting lonesome. Then the screamer tiptoes down to the place and says, ''what fool was!" The other comes down, having secured new invoice of pebbles in transit, and screams, ''What is it ?'' As it is nothing but a devils apron string and not snake, the screamer again says, 'What a fool'' Then they laugh. But they keep their eyes about them, and each mouth is already to emit scream. By this time they reach the waters edge. puny roller is advancing. It breaks little way out, and as the line of foam is sent up the beach they turn and scamper with all their might. Then one says, What fooll" And the other replies, 'I know it !" Then they take hold of hands, determined to do or die. Another wave makes them finch and tremble and scream just a little, but they Keep on tllI the water reaches to WnaJ WOulQ be their knees if they were men. Now they face each other, each holding the two hands of the other. Anybody who has seen the firemen at work on a hand-engine will under stand the motion readily They keep this up for five or ten minutes, talking like a brace of parrots all the time, till one of them screams with all her might and runs halfway to the bathhouse. She stops to remark that she knows she will die, and looking down sees the cause of her soare-a blade of eel grass tightly wound about her ankle. Spunk- ing up courage again, they seek the water once more, and again the hand-engine ma neuver is repeated. Then one of them whis- pers, There's man" And the other says T don't care one bit, :" and runs with all her might to the bathhouse. Then the one who had seen the man saunters slowly after, pick ing up shell or two on the way, pretending to think there isn't such & thing as a man in creation. By and by they emerge from the and ostentatiously display the key, towels and bathing dresses, chatting in most voluble manner. 1t was just lovely l'' one remarks.

For upward of twenty five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropoitan practice devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of Deafness Catarrh, aud dis eases of the Throat, Lungs and Nervous Sys- tenn, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which at tended his efforts His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so effectual that relief is expe- rienced at once, and permanent cures are of ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra- vated cases and it is one of the happy fea- lures of his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. candid opinion will inva- riabl. be given as to the possibilities of a cure, and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present a reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under Dr. Lighthilrs professional eft guaranteed by science, skill, and an ex- tensive experience.

HOME EVIDENCE Of the Success of pr. Light hills Practice in New Haven. Statement of MT. ". NE. Cox, No. S5 St. John Street,
 New Haven.
 @ Dr. Lighthi1I takes pleasure and pride in submitting to the consid- eration of those interested the fol- lowing statement of MT. T. M. Cox. an old and prominent resident of New Haven.
A Happy Experience.

(From the Journal and Courier, July 1O.)
 We take pleasure in presenting to our read CTS the following card from Mir. T. M. Cox, an old resident of New Haven, and gentle man highly respected and widely known in our business and social circles. The state ment of his happy experience of Dr. Light hills treatment Is full of interest and will be deservedly accepted by our community with the utmost confidence. Testimony of this nature and character reflects great credit on Dr. Lighthills ability and skill, and cannot fail to establish him in public confidence.
 NEW HAVEN, July 9.
 It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lighthin and the successful results of his treatment For the past thirty six years had been troubled with catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing. Of late years it at tackled my hearing, impairing it to consid- ereasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience One of Dr. Iighthilps pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment advised me to place myself un der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light hill effectually removed the catarrhal con- plaint and all it's attendant troubles, and Re- stored my hearing to its former perfection and acuteness know Dr. LighthiIl's repu- tation is so we'll known that any recomnen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but I feel like discharging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief.
 My happy experience of the resuHs of Dr. Lghthilrs efforts has taught mo to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lightni1l will con vince the most skentical of the fact that be ia a master of his profession.

A FIsTIU SETTLEMENT.
How Two Young Men Divided o
Love Affair.

The crowd Of young men who night
ly hang around Fourth and Marksr
streets, have among Them two who have
not been on good terms lately. TheJ
have been looking daggers at each 9th
sr for some time past, and saying hard
things about each other behind their
backs. Things have gone on in this
manner for days. They have been mad
very mad and anger has been search
ing in vain for some outlet. The cause
was young woman. She was like
nearly all young women woull nor
be satisfied with one fellow ): and they
were like mostly all young men could
not see how 1t was that any other
young man could honestly medd1e with
his love affair. As each thought the
other was the mSddler, the difficulty
in reaching q settlement may be ina
gined.
Finally matters got so that they had
to come to crisis. One called the
other a name that would not pass mus
ter In a Quaker community, and the
other retaliated with q blow on the
nose. Thus trouble began. Appeal
ing to frierds prize fight for mutual
satisfaction was suggested and the time
and place chosen by the aforesaid
friends. 1t was agreed by the young
men that he who won in the fight was
to have undisputed way in the race for
the you-g lady's hand aud heart.
In the evening the two youngsters,
thirating for each others blood, accom-
panied by few chosen Rcquaintances,
proceeded over Market street bridge to
a Geld beyond the city limits. Here a
ring was formed, the duelists stripped
for the fray, and sprang at each other
on the word with an eager zest.
What followed is described as most
interesting display of prowess in the
art pugilistie. They were both in earn.
est and the blows that were given in
each others faces, soon had the effect to
deform their physiognomy into such a
shape that their venerable grandmother
would not have known them. The
fght lasted just twenty minutes, and at
the end o: that time, one Of them threw
up his hands and cknowledged himself
whipped. They shook hands then, and
the whole party proceeded to the near
est beer saloon aud drank to the health
of the successful pugilist at the expense
OF the other.
