A SUGGESTION.

The Democratic politicians Of San
Francisco are talking about a great
morning papers with ever 50 much cap
ital. We see no sense IN this. If they
will invest some of their spare cash in
giving a liberal support to that veteran
Democratic paper, the E'naminey, they
will thus build up useful, influential
and eminently worthy journal, and will
save themselves the sacrifice of count
less thousands in this proposed new en-
terprise.
But it Is none Of our funeral.

Preserving the Eye-sight.

A remarkable proof of the harmlessness
of useing glasses, even single glass, is
furnished by watch makers, who appear to
enjoy an envIable Immunity from eye dis
eases. 1t is uncommon to see a watch
maker in ophthalmic hospital. The
habitual exercise of the eye upon fine work
tends to the development and preservation
of its powers. This is in analogy to the
truth now getting currency that Orain-wnrk
is necessary to physical health The man
who would preserve the full integrity of his
functions to ripe Old age must avoid e1-
cesses of every description, and endeavor
10 employ the higher faculties of his mind
somewhat more energetically than is now
always customary. A time comes to every
one when the physical powers begin to de-
Cay, and then, unless the brain has been
kept active and recipient by exercise, there
is nothing left to live, and the man per-
Ishes. We say that he died of gout, ~ OF
overeating, or Of heart disease, or of kidney
disease, or of the failure of the particular
organ which was the first to exhibit symp-
toms of the approaching end. In reality
he has died OF stupidity, artifcially pro-
d9ced by neglect of the talents with which
he was endowed. That which is true OF
the organism as a whole is true also Of its
parts; and the eyes, among others, are best
treated by an amount OF systematic Use
which preserves the tone Of their muscles
and the regularity of shcir blood supply.
The acuteness of sight, moreover, is in a
great degree dependent upon the mental
attention haDitually paid to visual impress
sions; and we have often observed this
acuieness TO be below the natural average
in agricultural laborers, who, if able in
some sense to read. were not in the habit
of reading; and who were not accustomed
;c look carefully al any small objects.
We have even had reason 10 think that the
wives Of such men were indebted TO their
household needlework for the maintenance
of higher standard of vision than that Of
their husbands; and we have no doubt that
idleness Of the eyes, If We may use such cx-
preston, is in every way hurtful to them,
and that proper varied employment is en-
nently conductive to their preservation in
beauty and efficiency.

That Confounded Five-Year-OId.

pretty little girl, about five years old,
with one of those sugar loaf hats modelled
after Fra Diavolo's in the play no doubt,
came on board the Staten Island ferry boat
Westteld. In her train was weary look
ing, middle-aged lady, whom she treated
with condescension and called '.Auntie. y
After the young laiy had found comfort
able seat in the bow OF the boat she allowed
her aunt to take a camp stool near by.
When the boat started she began a syste-
matte method of torture 10 which the mid
dle-aged lady submitted with wonderful
resignation.
''ls that water, auntle." she asked point
ing to the bay.
''Yes, dear" said the weary looking
lady.
''Did the rain make all that waterl'
"No, darling"
why didn't the rain make all that
water ~

''The heat, suppose"
''What makes the heat :''
''The sun Of course, dear"
Nv hat is the SUM-"
''You know what the sun is well enough;
| shan't answer that"
The little girl twisted uneasily In her
chair for a moment and then burst out
with the question:
''What makes horses bonesi
81 don't know, SAID the aunt in a de-
spairing tone.
Il think they're made out of skin" " SAID
the little girl, with an air of conviction.
''Ies, they're made out of skin an wool
an rubber; that's what horses bones is
made out of
"Ies, DEAR" said the shameless woman.
IF my pa gets that bone taken out
of his leg he'll give me is watch.
Would you have bone taken out OF your
leg, auutie:"
You ridiculous child, of course not
Why not ?"
'Oh, keep still!''
The young woman then got up and

The aunt uttered shrek. and the writer,
much against his will, rescued the young
lady.
Thank you sir, said the aunt.
''What for: asked the terrible infant
''For nothing" said the rescuer.
"Auntie, did you ever see little dicky

''Yes, dear"
"Wherel'

''Did You see that colored lady, aIntie

You mustn't go home; your mamma is

''Wh hat makes mamma sick,'
'Never mind, she'll be well again in
week or two"
''But want to know what makes her

'.Never mind, dear

up to her pier at Stapleton, and the Inquisi-
tive young lady and her submissive aunt
disembarked.

The Worst of IL.

Several years before his death, MIR. Web
ster started of from Marshfield on a trout
ing expedition to Sandwich, a neighboring
town Of Cape Col On approaching the
fine stream he alighted from his wagon,
and Just then he met the owner of the farm
through which the stream run.
Good morning. says Webster, sis
there any trout herei"
"Well, p" says the farmer, ''some people
fish here, but don't know what they do
GET
'.rn throw my line in," says Webster,
and see what there il"
Webster walked the banks of the stream
trying his luck, and the old farmer fol-
lowed him. Soon Webster remarked:
''Iou have some bog on your farm?'
"Yes," says the farmer, that amt the
worst OF it.
Fishing still further along, Webster
says:
''You seem to have plenty of mosquitoes
herel"
Eyes" he replied, ''that amt the worst
Of it," .
Webster still kept on throwing his line
into the deep pools, and then said;
"You have plenty Of briars here.'
''Yes," said the farmer, land that ain,
the worst of it.
Mr.. Webster, getting somewhat discour-
aged in hot August day, bitten by mos
quitoes, scratched by brisrs, and not rails
ing single fish, dropped his ro,l and said
81 do not believe that there is any trout
here
Sand that amt the worst Of it, says the
! farmer.
''Well," says Mr.. Webster, 81 should
like 10 know what is the worst of iti'
"There never was any here :" says ths
farmer.
Mr.. Webster enjoyed the jske, and sftsa
: told II 70 his particular fr1sads.

A Valuable Discovery.

recent examination of old pack.
ages in one OF the vaults of the Mer-
chants National Bank of Baltimore, where
they had been locked up years ago. has
brought to light property which had been
long lost sight OF by the original owners.
In one of the boxes, the KEY to which was
in the bank, were discovered $4,000 in
first mortgage bonds of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, with the interest coupons for the
past fifteen wears attached. making the
aggregate value Of the property about 500
0Oo. These bonds, it has been ascertained,
belong to the Hagerstown md. Bank, of
which Gov. Hamilton is now the President.
In dealings between the two banks these
bonds were deposited with the Merchants
Bank fifteen years ago a. collateral. The
then President of Hagerstown Bank, Hon.
James Dixon Roman, died; the cashier
was superseded, and that bank los, traces
of the transaction. The disappearance of
the bonds. however, always remained an
unpleasant mystery, which is now happily
cleared up, and the bank adds 500, ,0O0
more to its surplus. The securities are
ranked az among the best. The other val
liable package found in the vault of the
Merchants Bank was a small trunk, con-
tanning papers and some diamond jewelry
valued st $1,000, which, il has been ascer-
tanned, were deposited with the bank by
Spaniard for safe keeping more than a
quarter Of a century ago, One Of the let
ters was signed with the name Of Robert
~ Fisher. now President Of the Board of
Trade of Baltimore, who, on investigation,
found that he had at the date named re-
ccived a consignment Of coffee from the
Spanish gentleman who, when here, deposited
the trunk with the bank, as was the Gus
tom in the safe keeping OF valuables at
that period Of time. The trunk was never
called for. the gentleman is dead, and his
heirs viii get the property through the
Spanish consul. The Merchants Bank has
been in business iorty-fiye years, and sew
eral of the original officers were a, their
posts until a comparatively recent date,
and Of course kept record Of the existence
Of the valuables above referred 10. Mr..
Wm. l.. Gill, one Of the tellers at the
starting of the bank, and afterwards the
cashier, died last year, and Mr.. Miffiin
Coulter, the other teller, was retired last
January, after 4 service of fOrty-five years.

A Clever FOX.

On a summer day a gentleman was IT,
ing under the shelter of some shrubs on the
banks of the river Tweed, when he saw a
large brood of ducks, which had been
made to rise on the wing by the drifting Of
fir branch among them. After circling
in the air for little time they again settled
down on their feeding ground.
There was pause for two or three min
utes, and then the same thing took place
again. "A branch drifted dowl with the
stream into the midst of the ducks, and
made them take to fight once more. But
when they found that the bough had diff
ed by, and done no harm, they flew down
TO the water as before.
After four or five boughs had drifted by
in this way, the ducks gave no heed to
them, and hardly tried to fly out of their
way, even when they were near being
touched.
The gentleman who had been observing
all this now watched for the cause of the
drifting of the boughs. At length he saw
higher up the bank of the stream a fox,
which; having set the boughs adrift, was
watching for the moment when the ducks
should cease to be startled by them.
This wise fox at last seemed satisfied
that the moment had come. So what did
he do but take a larger branch of spruce fir
than had yet been used, and, spreading
himself down sn it SO as to be almost hid
den from sight, set it adrift as he had done
the others. The ducks, now having ceas-
ed to fear the boughs, hardly moved till
the fox was in the midst of them, when,
making rapid snaps right and left, he seiz-
ed two fine young ducks as his prey, and
| fioated forward in triumph on his raft.
The ducks flew off in fright, but did not
come back.
That fox must have had a fine dinner
that day. The gentleman who
saw the trick pitied the poor ducks but
could not help laughing at the fox's cum
ming.

During the Reign OF Terror in France. a
party of the revolutionary myrmldons went
to the house Of gentleman IN Marseilles,
whose name was on the prescribed list, in
order to apprehend him. They found his
wife, who said that her husband was not at
home; he had been absent for several davs.
and she did not know where he had gone.
The party, however, insisted on searching
the house, which they did. without finding
their intended victim. They tten quilted il
and went TO make some other visits with
which they were charged. One of .he party
returned very soon, and finding the house
door open went in. He looked about and
saw no one: and then fastening upstairs to
a room on the first floor, he knocked at the
pannel of a wainscoat and said "Open
quickly" The panel was accordingly
opened, and at the same instant u double
barrel pistol was discharged from within.
Happily it did no injury to the person on
the outside. The master of the house, who
had been concealed within the panel, came
forth from his hiding place. How cried
the visitor, Il came to save you and you
would kill me. Then addressing himself
to the wife, whom the report of the pistol
had brought tOthe spot. ''Hear me madam"
said he: - have only associated myself
with those men who were recentlv here,
that may save my fellow citizens as much
as lies in my power. As we were search
ing your house | observed strong emotion
in your cOuntenance, and a tremOr in all
your frame as we passed this spot; and /
had no doubt, therefore, that your husband
was concealed within. This Occasioned
my speedy return TO warn YOU that your
good man is not in safety so long as he re-
mains in this house, or even in the town.
Ii is not dOubte Cd but that he is here; and
you will never cease to be troubled with
like visits till he is found. | will, however,
engage to procure you the sof escape, 7"
added he, turning TO the gentleman,
provided you dare conflde In me-" This
was not situation in which to hesitate
about accepting such an offer. and with
tears and thanks it was embraced both by
the husband and wife. II was now dusk
and the benevolent visitor said be would
return in about half an hour and take the
gentleman with him to his own house,
where he might remain in perfect security
till means could be found for his escape.
This was accordingly done, and three
nights after, he was consigned to Genoese
vecsel which carried him in safety out Of
J the republic.

The delights of the compartment railway
carriages in use in England and on the Con-
tinent were demonstrated TO the satisfaction
of German and Spaniard, who were shut
up tcgeth6 inh compartment on Swis rail-
road. A recent murder had occurred on
the same line, and the German knew about
il and was nervous. He was more than
nervous, he was frightened when the
Spaniard, who was admlring his cane.
wanted to know If it was q sword cane.
The question, if asked in the usual manner,
might not have seemed particularly terri
BILE; but the Spaniard, not understanding
German, nor the German Spanish, Don
Ouixote's countryman carried on the con
versation in pantomine. He made the
gesture of a man drawing a weapon and
brandishing 1t. The German thinking his
last hour had come, proceeded to propitiate
his supposed assassin by taking out his
pocket-book, portmonnaie and watch. The
Spaniard, endeavoring to explain to him
snly terrified him the more. Seizing the
alarm signal the German stopped the tram.
The guard thinking another crime had
been committed came forward. but the re-
marks of the two passengers did not help
him to clear up the question, and ne there
upon got into the compartment with them
until they reached large town where the
station-master explained the affair. But
the German refused TO travel any more
with man who had made himssH 70 disa-
Rssable by giving him this fright.
