A COMPLIMENTARY CALL.-There 10 .
tramp who haunts the east end of Galveston
who has got 1t down dne. He has reduced 1t
to perfect system. He knocked at the door
of house. The owner came out. As soon
as he laid eyes on the tramp he said, Now,
look here, only recently ! gave you nickel
TO stay away for ten days, and here you are
back again" The tramp put bis hand to his
forehead and was lost in thought for several
minutes. Then he said, You are right,
Colonel. Your regular assessment Is not due
yet. When get back to my connting-rocm
I'll pay of my head book-keeper and discharge
him. He has neglected to give you the pro-
per credit on the ledger" Well, go on,
now" GAN right, Colonel this Is not
professional call; It is only complimentary.
No extra charge. "-GaIreston Nous.

THE CARE OF THE EYEs.-The eye is one
Of the most delicate organs of the body, and
partial or total blindness one Of the things
to be deplored, and to DO carefully guarded
against.
Even strong eyes soon become weakened,
and often diseased, by being cafelessly treated.
When reading, writing or working, the
light should always fall over the left shoulder,
and the book or work should never be held
nearer to the eyes than Is necessary.
1t Is always important to sit up straight.
STOPPING is not only injurious to the eyes, bat
to the lungs and spine.
Never work in the twilight, or by dim
light.
Reading or writing in car or carriage is
hurtful to the eyes.
If you work by gaslight the jet should be
shaded, and the light clear and steady.
Do not read in bed, nor lying down, nor in
a swinging hammock. Sleep in well-venti-
lated room, and lie in such position that a
bright light will not strike your eyes when
you waken. Battle your eyes freely each
night and morning with cold water, to which
occasionally it is well to add little salt.
II your eyes are weary or painful from toe
close application, rest them by closing them,
or looking away from your work, or battle
them with cold water, or with extract Of
witch hazel
Any foreign substance in the eye can
usually be removed by taking the upper eye
| lid between the thumb and finger, aud draw
| ing It down over the lower lid, gently pressing
| It toward the nose.
Little children should DO particularly care
full not to distort the eyes by constant
winking or twitebing of the eyelids, or BY
turning the eyes toward the nose. Many
children have become permanently cross-eyed,
and others seriously injurs their eys-sight b,
these pernicious practices.
Children who are nearsighted should i'm

The following Of these simple rules may pu
far off the evil day of failing eye-sight ans
glasses, and possibly avert 1t altogether.

MISCELLANY.
WHERE ARE THE MEN THAT WILL
SUCCEED OUR GREAT LITERARY
LIGHTS?

Longfellow, Emerson, Whittier, Holmes,
Lowell-what are we to do for authors when
these are gone? Who is in the succession ?
On whom will the nantes fall? These ques-
tions are often asked in Respondent tone, as
if American literature were to die with these
representative names of its present period
For one answer to them, IL is enough to ask
whether American literature died with Irving
and Cooper and Poe9 And if this is not
enough, other answers are by no means
wanting.
One such other is that In literature achieve
ment is seldom repeated, and, therefore, fame
Is seldom duplicated. There has been but
ono Homer, one Dante, one Chauoer, one
Spenser, one Shakespeare, one Milton. Each
individual genius makes his own mark in his
own place, and passes away. No one copies
it. He who attempts to copy it proves him
self s. n5 not g gensus l. n pct 70 bs
Lonefellows, Emersons, Whittiers, Lowells,
nol,ueses. We do not want their sacred
touch to become common performance
Their followers must strike new paths for
themselves.
There is another thought. Great flames
may be rising arouud us which we are too
near to measure. The older generation of
American authors, OF which Bryant was one.
have been before US SO long as to become its-
vested with some shadowy grandeur of the
historic parsonage, The present public has
grown up, as it were, into their presence. 1t
found them ia possession of the field. They
were already OF the past, and the past is yen-
cradle. They were before tho war, and the
war has showed .he years thai preceded it
back Into al honorable antiquity. Ours is a
new era. II cannot yet be that the men who
Belong to the new era should Seem to bc of
the same stature with the men of the old.
They are too near is. We touch them daily.
They are bone OF our bone and flesh of our
fiesfi. But for the generation which shall
come after, they may be looming up into the
proportions which other figures wear to-day.
assey have not yet assumed the historical
perspective whose lines alone determine fame.
But there Is another Thought still. We
sfSasl never know, as wise and thoughtful
scholar said to us the other day, how mitch
the civil war decmated our literary ranks.
Ours is thinned-out geHeration. We are
the oue.a armed soldier. Orr best members
are missing. Poets, essayists, historians,
philosophers, in the embryo, bright promises
of future performance, we're cut down in the
days Of iS6l-65. We SHAH never know what
American literature lost in the losses of those
terrible years. Perhaps there must be an in
terregnum of mediocrity until the youth OF
to-day have attained their capacity of to-
morrow. Literary World.

An exchange says that for bitterness and pro-

islands of rock Qave. like concretions), through

at point where there are eight or ten feet

feet in diameter, is projected upward with

Horse CURED OF BITINe.--One of the
commission houses on Woodbridge street has
horse that was the terror of every pedestrian
who got within three feet of his head. The
animal has teeth like shark, and up to few
days ago he'd bite anything within reach ex-
cept pile of grindstones. Whipping had no
effect and he would get rid of muzzles as
fast as they were put on. The firm had put
out considerable money to settle for his bites.
and was wondering what they could sell him
for, when along came man who guaranteed
cure for SO. He was told to go to work,
and his first move was to get IN old suit of
clothes and stuff 1t with straw. The horse
was driven down the street, and the suit was
tied to hitching post, back to the street. A
full pound of Cayenne pepper was then rub
bed into aud sprinkled over the garments and
the straw stutiing, aud the joke was ready.
The horse came jogging back, and the
driver left him standing withir six feet OF
the man Of straw. The old biter's eyes had a
twinkle as he saw fine chance 10 nae his

meant wickedness, but he had surprise in
store for him. As he lifted the figure off it's
feet and gave st shake 1t fell apart, and his
, mouth, nose aud eyes werc fiied with the
smarting powder. Great tears rolled down
his long nose he sneezed and snorted aud
coughed, and was just as chagrined at Vie
general laugh on him as . man would have
been. He backed away from the remnants,
opened his mouth to cool it, and hung bis
head in shame. He did not cease weeping
for day, but, when he got SO that he could
look the public square in the face. he was

rub his nose with impnnity. In fuct, he

Confederate Bonds in the U.
TREASURY

"MLLloNs IN IT'-BoNDs, NOTES AND CERTIFI-
GATES OF INDEBTEDNESS.
There have been a good many statements and
guesses as to the amount of confederate bonds
held by the US. Treasury. None of them have
come near the mark. The amount OF confederate
bonds held by the US. government has never been
accurately counted, but count sufficient to deter
mine that the sum is about 81 OOO has just been
made These bonds were captured by the army of
the union in different sections OF the south, and
forwarded to Washington, where they have re.
captured and abandoned property of the
Treasury department There is no in:
se @ s tbese 6s IN part
to these bOndS there is held in the Treasury about
$5O,0OO,OOO OF confederate notes The issues in
been cancelled by the confederate government be-
fore they came into the hands Of the United
States. 1t is not known exacly what the amount
of the uncancelled notes which help to make the
10000 is. The Treasury officers have never
taken the trouble to count the uncancelled notes
separately, as they possess no more value than han
classes of confederate securities mentioned above,
the Treasury has in its possession large amount
federate government, which were captured at
Richmond and the various confederate depOstO-
ries. The certificates were issued to take the place
OF confederate bonds, which had not then been
printed. They were eXchangeable for these bonds,
or could be used legal tenders OF the cOnfederacy
They range In amounts all the way from $50 to
been counted. The officers of the captured and
abandoned property division OF the Treasury de-
partment do not believe that there any deposits
abroad which are the property OF the late confed-
eracy. They differ from other officers of the gov
ernment in announcing this belief They base their
opinion upon correspondence between Mason and
Sldell, the confederate commissioners abroad with
their government, which correspondence is in the
possession of the captured and abandoned property
division. In their letters up to the very last days,
Mason and Slidell beg and keep begging for money
lrom the confederacy II there were conledefate
deposits abroad 1t is argued that Mason and Sldell
would not have been continually calling for money
but would have asked authority to check upon
these deposits.
THE BOOM ABOUT AT AN END.
The confederate bond boom In Washington
would seem to be about on its last legs. There
were no transactions OF any account yesterday.
The brokers here who had been buying upon
orders from New York yesterday and to-day re-
ceived instructions to buy no more. There are
several parties In the city who are to-day buying
on their own speculation and without commiSstO1
from New YORK. These people are paying only
from 150 10 $3 per thousand, instead or the
figures OF 81 and $l3 per thousand, which ruled
day or two ago.
