A NEW DISCOVERY THAT DOES
AWAY WITH TELESCOPES.

Professor Benz amin G. Merrill is gem
orally conceded to be one of the foremost
scientific men of Milwaukee. Hitherto
he has confined his researches to the
field of electricity rather than to that Of
optics, and it was not supposed that the
world be indebted to him for the most
important discovery in connection with
the eye that has ever yet been made.
Professor Merrill has loug been Of the
opinion that the telescope is clumsy
method of supplying the deficiency of
eye power, and some months ago he un-
dertook to ascertain if there was any way
by which we Lould be able to dispense
with artificial lenses. 1t is well ascer.
tanned fact that persons who are near
sighted, or, in other words, can see only
such objects as are near them, have the
ball of the eye globular and protuberant,
while those whose vision enables them
to see objects an long distance from
them have the eye fl sttened and sunken.
The obvious explanation of this fact is
hattened the lenses are compressed, and
lenses are compressed, and thus focal
distance is increased, while the opposite
effect follows the too great rotundity Of
the eye.
Acting in accordance with this theory
Prof. Merrill conceived the plan Of in
creasing the power of the eye, not by
using artificial glass lenses, but by im
proving the natural lenses He designed
an instrument, consisting of Two small
metallic disks, each one pierced with
an extremely small hole, and connected
by light steel band. These disks are
to be placed one directly over the center
of each eye, while the steel b nd, passing
around the head, holds them in place
This band is 30 made that it can be
sh rtened or heightened by turning u
hum mbscrew, and, Of course, just in pro-
poryion as il is shortened the dlsks press
against the eyes and Aatten them.
The inventor tried his instrument up
on himself before exhibiting 1t to any
one, H found that when the disks
were put in position and the screw was
gradually turned his power of seeing
distant objects increased A vary slight
increase Of pressure on the ewes gave a
marked increase of visual power. He
made experiments both day and nl9nt
and in every case with marked success
He found that in the daytime ne could
read the Times at distance of twenty
70 by giving the screw two complete
turns, and at night he could perCeiv the
moons OF Jupiter and the ring Of Saturn
with six turns of the screw Up to this
point the operation of the instrument
was quite painless, but any attempt to
give greater eye power was attended
with sharp PAIN in the eye and haz
zling light, which rendered all objects
invisible. Prof. Merrill has calculated,
however, that six turns of the thumb
screw gave his eyes power equal to
that Of refracting tele cope OF AZ feet TO-
cal distance, and that in fact, there is no
telescope in existence which has any
thing like the power Of hls eyes when
they have been properly adjusted by tho
help Of his new instrument.

majority at the late election in the city
are systematically at work to secure 1t
for the future. The plan is this All the
wealthy Republicans and Republican
firms are discharging white laoorers,
where skilled labor is not required, and
filling their places with negroes from
Kentucky and the two Virginias' The
whites who are being discharged will be
compelled to go elsewhere for employ
ment, and from 600 to 700 hundred ne
groes will take their places on the vot-
ing lists. The white laborer cannot be
depended on to vote the Republican
ticket; the negro can. This colonization
is not being carried on in Columbus
alone, but in q number Of Democratic
cities where few hundred reliable Re-
publican votes will prevent the election
of Democratic Senators aud Representa-.
tives in the Legislature next winter.
Here in Ohio colonization of the colored
ople of the South is being adopted as
a system and for the purpose OF making
Ohio solidlY Republican for many years
to come.

GEN. GRANT ON THE ROAD.
An Offer to Race With william H. Vanderbilt,
Which the Latter Declined.

An Offer to Race With William II. NSndeTDHV'
Which the Latter Declined.
New York, November VA clear
blue sky, bland air, and Seventh, st.
Nicholas and Jerome avenues all in fine
order, combined to render Monday and
Yesterday attractive to drivers of fast
hors g. There was an unusually large
number Of teams on the road. Among
the turnouts were some stylish four-in
hands, Numerous trials of speed took
place, attracting great attention from the
hundreds of spectators gathered at the
various hostelries along the road.
Gen. Grant was on the Seventh aVen'
ue Boulevard for the frat time, behind a
fast trotter, since he took an airing with
Mr.. Robert Bonner behind the famous
ex-king of the turf, Dexter, The horse
Gen. Grant drove was Mr.. Frank Works
celebrated trotter Dick Swiveller, and
the General enjoyed his cigar and han
died his reins with dexterity, W 1ile the
noted horse he had in hand made some
fine bursts of speed. He pulled up at
John Barry's Wayside Inn. The Gener-
al walked in, sat down, picked up the
Sun and began reading it. Sheppard F.
Knapp dropped in soon. He said, How
are you General2" General Grant nod
ded in return, but kept ON reading. Next
came William Turnbull. He said, 1
am glad to see you General" Gall
right" said General Grant, going on with
his enjoyment of his cigar and the Sun.
Mr., Knapp remarked in an aside, II will
make the General wake up" He pro.
ceeded to talk horse. General Grant
entered into the conversation. 1t was
upon the pedigree and breeding of fast
horses, The Gt neral displayed an amount
of kno Wedge on the subject that surpris
ed those present.
Mr.. Wm. II. Vanderbilt came in. Gen.
Grant saluted him with, Hello, Wander
bitl They say you drive faster horses
than anybody on the road ?"
II don't Know," Vanderbilt replied.
Vanderbilt" said Gen. Grant, II have
a horse under the shed that can beat you
down the road, right away"
Mr.. Vanderbilt did not reply immedi-
ately. Slipping alongside of Mr.. Knapp,
he whi-pered, "What horse is Gen. Grant
driving?' Mr.. KNAPP replied, Dick
Swiveller." Although Mr.. Vanderbilt
was driving the crack team Lvsander
and Leander, be did uot accept The chal-
lenge. On returning to Gen. Grant he
had a short chat with him. Soon after,
Gen. Grant, after providing himself itn
a fresh cigar, said, Gentlemen, you must
excuse me, as l have an engagement,
down town." and he left He drove off
at rafting gait, and it is stated that he
gave Dick Swiveller almost straight
heat of it to the Park gate-a distance of
over two miles-passing everybody on
the road.

The Pnlladelphia Republican papers
are in the habit of abusing the Southern
people for preferriug sepsrate schools for
whites and blacks. The PnilRdelphis
Record shows that in that Republican
ii the Equality" so greatly admired
ION paper Oy the hypocritica Republic
cans does not exist. The Record says of
cOlOred people and it's schools:
The High School for boys and the
Normal School for girls are practically
closed to them, and they are excluded
from all the other free schools, except
euCh as are specially appropriated to
them. Beside the separate primary and
secondary schools assigned them, they
have but one within the entire munlci
pal limits of higher grade This is the
r ,bert V4ux Public Gramm School,
on Wood treet, above Eleventh. 1t is
attended by coored children of both
sexes from all sections Of the city, many
pupils coming daily to the school from
me farrhest points of Frankfort, Ger
mantlwn and West Philadelphia. To
obtain any higher education than is sf
forded there, the sons and daughters of
our colored fellow citizens are compelled
to resort to private institutions. Some
avail themselve of the opportunities Of
fsred by the Institute for Cjlored Youth
at Ninth and cambridge streets, estab
ished by the Society Of Friends, while
others enter Catholic semlnaries, which
are fortunately open to them without
any distinction. Yet they are taxed the
same as white citlzens to maintain the
80 called system of fret schools This is
a grievance of waich they have just rea
son to complain A short time ago col
ored Philadelphian, VINO owns real es
tate, and heavy taxpayer according to
good authority, and worthy citizen,
found it necessary to apply to the courts
in order to get his daughter into the Nor

one, and 1t is to be hoped the father will
succeed in his effort. But there ought
to be no cause to make such case In

NON LUNATIC ASY-
LUM,
A Discussion Before the "NntiOnaI Association
for the Protection of the Insane"

for the Protection Of the Insane"
A meeting of the Council of the Ma
tional Association for the Protection OF
the Insane and Prevention of Insanity
was eld at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yes
terday, followed in the evening by an
open meeting of the association. Thirty
gentlemen and as many ladies were pres
ent. DR.. H B. WILDER, President, in
opening the meeting, said that there
were over fifty thousand insane persons
in tbe United States, the number in the
State of New York being l0500. Half
of these were in State hospitals and aey :
lums, and the system of imprisonment,
harsh restraints, confinement and idle
ness to which the insane were subjected
in this country, even under the manage
ment of the best intentions, continued
to augment the number of inCurables.
In the leading countries OF Europe the
system OF non re traint and employment
| for the insane had within the last fifteen
years produced marvellous results. These
asylums are under the restraining inhu.
ence of national boards of lunacy or
com m!ssioners, who hold their positions
for life and are entirely independent OF
local asylum management, and their in
speCtions have to be OF the most thor
ough kind. The Scotch asylums are the
most perfect. The ssylums are rows OF
cottages instead of great stone prisons
All forms of restraint are totally abol.
lshed, the inmates are enjoyed and
amused as if they we're rational beings,
and in visiting them it is hard to realize
that one is In lunstic asylum. No win
dows are barred or doors locked, Pa
tients are free from all visible restraint,
but are watched quite closely oy atten.
dants. Very few esCapes are attempted.
The Rev. Arthur, Of this city, spoke in
condemnation of the interference of
politics in the proper management of
charities and correction. A mans best
work could not be expected in position
which he fills temporarily, aud political
questions should never enter into the
appointment of officers or the control 6f

DR.. ]. W Morton spoke of the village
of Gael, in Belgium, where for centuries
the insane have been treated by the non
restraint system, and of large institu-
ton in Clermont France, which is sup
ported by the labor of the insane. Tue
only institution in this country where
this system has BEEN has been tried, he
said is the Kings County Asylum, where
under DR.. Slaw's management the b-st
results have been obtalned.-NeaO York

General Sherman in his annual report
says the army is too small, and ought to
be increased. The forts ought to be pro-
vided with better and more recent
armaments, that the smaller posts along
the Pacific railroads are not'needed and
should be abandoned. The sea coast
defenses are weak and ought to be re.
paired. He sustains General Schotield
in his views as to colored cadets at West
Point and says that there is some race
predjudice there just as there is every
where else in the country but not any
more, and it cannot be helped by COM
pusory methods. In conclusion, he
begs to state that the, army is patriotic,
patient and willing to encounter danger.
