TATTOOING A CHILD,S EYE.BALL.
"A Remark ably Skillful Operation in
a st. Louis Hospital.
Louisville Courier Journal.


An ingenious and skillful operation
was performed upon little girl yester-
day afternoon at St. Joseph's Infirmary.
The child had previously suffered from
an attack of what is techenically term
ed "ulcerative keratitis;" in other
words, an liberation of the transparent
portion of the eye-ball. This inaamma-
ton and liberation having subsidized,
there was left of course, what always
follows, scar. This scar in the cor
ner is Opaque and of a milky color, and
it interfered with the vision by OBJ
structing the rays of light as they pass
into the eye, and at the same time
produces an Objectionable deformity
which no one wishes to have
The object to be secured by
by the operation were two-fold: First to
remove the deformity; second, to re-
store the vision Of the afflicted eye.
The first object was the one sought in
yesterdays operation. The child was
put under the influence of and an
aesthetic: and then drop of ink being
placed upon this spot, the operator
made an innumerable number Of in
cisions into it with needle-knife; that
is to say, by a process of tattooing col
ored this white spot black. This Sc
cures the first object; the second re-
mains to be secured by another opera
ton, because the obstruction to vision
still remains, though being of the color
of the pupil or the iris, Is not dis
tinguishable by any but very close
observer.
The iris, or colored curtain which
hangs behind the transparent portion
of the globe: and which give the heav-
emily blue, or the cold gray, or the
passionate black eye, according as ma
ture chooses to color it, has circular
aperture for the admission of rays of
light, and as this opacity of the corner
is in front of the aperture, excluding
those rays Of light, there remains but
one thing to do, and that is to make
another opening in the curtain, or to
extend the one already made. Ifit is
impossible to 60 through an obstruction
or to remove it, then the simplest thing
of course is to go around it. That is
what is done by this operation of cut
ting out a portion of the iris, which is
called 'iridectomy." This piece of the
iris is usually taken out just above the
pupil for the reason that it is less no.
ticeable in that situation than any
other.

Her Youngest Child.
Chicago Tribune.
The evening of Tuesday, Oct. 18th,
the engineer and fireman of engine No.
81 on the Illinois Central railroad saw,
through the darkness and light fog
which prevailed at the time, woman
run rapidly across the tracks, and, after
pausing few moments on the break
water, deliberately plunge into the lake.
The next day Mrs. Fannie Wasserman
was reported missing, as was also her
youngest daughter. At about 1 80 yes
terday afternoon Engineer J. H. Col
bert, on the Illinois Central railroad,
discovered the dead bodies Of a woman
and child hoatir:~ II what is known as
the Illinois Central : >sin, but which is
only a small semi-circular arm of Lake
Michigan. He notified the police, and
Sergeant Croak removed the bodies
from the lake to the Morgue, where
they were shortly after identified as the
remains of Mrs. Fannie Wasserman
and her daughter Mamie, aged 2 years
and 10 months. The little one was
fastened between the knees and thighs
of the mother by means of a cloth
band. The railroad employees who saw
her Jump into the water stated that
before making the fatal plunge she was
seen to remain for some moments in a
STOPPING posture, apparently binding
her clothing about her knees, as they
thought, to prevent herself from being
buoyed up. They did not see the child,

Mrs. Lincoln, widow of President
J lincoln, was among the passengers by
the steamer AmeriquG from France,
last week. She is reported to be in ex-
cellent health, but looks old and worn,
and little like the woman whose pride
in the White House sixteen years ago
has become history. Her hair is al
most white, and her form has become
heavy, and she displays little interest in
what goes on about her. She will leave
New York in a few days for Chicago.

tBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Gencral {. H. GrOs-
venor, of Ohio has been here this week,
locking after the interests of Mr. Sher-
nan as Presidential candidate, and with
The view, it is reported of inducing Senator Blaine
TO withdraw all efforts to delegates for him
self IN Ohio leaving the State without dispute to
Mr. Sherman.
The reply of Mr. Blaine, as hear from an intimate
and Intelligent friend of the Senator was that he
had done nothing whatever in Ohio had asked for
no mans support I; had urged measures
IN his own behalf or against Mr. Sherman and that
he would hold that attitude to the end. He would
not interfere against any candidate he would not
take one active step for himself; he had not
done so in any State, and could not be induced
to do 50. At the same time Senator Blaine
gave Mr.. Grosven0r to understand that he
did not feel bound to interfere against
himself; and while he wOuld do nothing to initiate a
movement in his own behalf 1t ought not to be ex-
pecred that he would interfere to check movement
in his favor.
Mr. Blame has been complained of by his friends
for not taking active steps in his own behalf
lie was urged to do against General
Grant at the Conventions both LII Pennsylvania
and New-York but absolutely declined. Mr.. Blaine
has said that in 1876 he was by force
Of circumstances drawn into an aggressive
campaign, which was against his wishes and
against MS taste; and that now, in 1850, he pro-
poses 80 far ~ me ~ concerned. to let his friends do
just as they please, and he will not direct or request
ANYTHING.
Tie senator. as is we'll known by those who
see him most intimately Is perfectly cool,
placid, and apparently uncOncemed about the
canpaigu. meeting all who call on him
politely aud cordially and never soliciting support,
or even suggesting a word in regard TO the
Presidency. His Ohio friends, therefore. are,
Ike an hs friends IN other states at perfect liberty
