SIGHT RESTORED AFTER SIXTEEN YEARs.-A
singular case of restored sight, after total
blindness of sixteen years. occurred the other
day in East Dubuque. The person is Mrs. La
Claire. an aged lady. who has resided in Dun
leith for many years, and who has been an object
of pity among the good people Of that town be-
cause of her afiliction. Mrs. La Claire lost the
sight of one eye from disease about twenty
years ago, and four years later the other eye
became affected. and i'm a short time thereafter
the power of vision was destroyed and she be-
came totally blind, remaining i'm that condition
until one day last week, when her sight was
suddenly restored while she was seated in a
chair at the family residence i'm Dunleith.-

How PEANUTS ARE CLEANED MD PREPARED
FOR MARKET.-Peanuts, 10 be- prepared for the
market, are placed in a large cylinder, from
which they enter the brushes. where every nut
receives fifteen feet ola brushing before becomes
free. Then they are dropped on an endless belt.
passing along at the rate of four miles an hour.
On each side of the belt stand girls. and n the
nuts fall on the belt the girls, with quick mo-
ton of the hand, pick out all the poor looking
nun. allowing only the best to pass the cruel
ble Those that do pass drop into bags on the
floor below. When the bag is filed il is sewed
up and branded as cocks" with the figure OF a
rooster prominent on its sides. The peas caught
up by the girls are thrown to one side again
picked over. and the best singled out bagged
and branded as "ships." These are as fine
nut as the first for eating. but i'm shape and
color do not compare with the cock" The
third grade is branded as eagles" These are
picked out of the cuttings of the cocks" and
''ships." The cuttings that are left from the
eagles" are bagged, sent to the top story. and
what little meat is i'm them Is shaken out by o
patent shelter. The nuts beiHg shelled by this
new process, the meat drops i'm bags below, free
from dust or dirt of any kind and Is then ship
ped in 2O0-pound sacks to the North. where il
is bought by the confectioners for the purpose
OF making tally or peanut candy. Ii may be
here stated that a peculiar kind of oil is ex-
tracted from the meat of the nut, and in this
speciality large trade Is done among the whole
sale druggists. There is nothing wasted for
even the shells are made useful They are
packed In sacks and sold to stable keepers for

A HORSE COMMITS SUICIDE.-A correspondent
of the New York Word. writing from Fishkill
Landing, NY, August 9, says: The Journal Of
this town tells of a strange case Of a horse conf
hitting suicide. Mr.. L. e. Aldridge, who lives
close to the Hudson river, saw an old horse be-
longing to Mr.. Saunders come out Of the barn
and stand a few minutes looking out upon the
water. He then went back, and in q few mo-
ments came out again, went deliberately to the
water, waded into the cove that is inclOsed by
the Hudson river railroad track, swan through
the culvert under the railroad and out into the
channel Of the river. A man working on the
New England railroad pile-driver saw the man.
neuvers of the horse, and putting outin small
boat brought him back. On reaching the shore
the horse persistently refused to 90 on dry land.
He lay down in the water, floundercd abOlt and
apparently tried his best to drown himself By
keeping his head under water This he finally
accomplished In water not deep enough to cover
his body.

WOUNDED LIKE THE PRESIDENT.-Olive John
son was arraigned in the court of criminal cor
rectiOn on a charge of assault to kill Andrew
Nicker. The evidence of DR.. Nideiet was that
Nicker was shot Just where the President was
wounded. Some clothing entered the body and
the bullet lodged inthe muscles of the cavity and
was afterwards extracted. The fact that john
son could shoot a hole through Nicker in the
exact position of the Presidents wound was no
extenuatiOn, and he was held over.-&. Louis

Isaac Penny. Of this place, was walking along
the track Of the Newburg. Duchess and Con-
necticut Railroad he was struck on the leg by a
large black snake Of the racer variety. which lost
no time in wrapping itself around his limb. Mr..
Penny took it BY the neck with both heads and
held it SO firmly that the snake could not further
coil itself around his leg. At length he killed
the snake with stones and sticks. and in order
to get it off had to cut it in two. 1t was five
feet long, and was as big around as a policemans
club.

Holy See from Rome was contemplated were
yesterday called to the attention of the arch
bishop, who said he thought the Holy Father
would never make the change suggested, unless
some great indignity was offered him in Rome.

THE question OF whether railroad CON-
pany can hold Its lands granted on condition
that IL shall be constructed within certain
time, after that time has expired and the
road has not been constructed, Is about to be
contested In the courts. The Texas Pacific
road holds Is grant Of land under charter
similar 10 that Of the Northern Pacific. IL
has not been built within the time named
In lis charter. The Southern Pacific COM
pany has pushed Its road ahead and treated
the Texas Pacific grant as void. Jay Gould,
who has bought into the Texas Pacific, holds
that the grant never having been formally de-
clared forfeited is good, and has sued out re-
straining injunction against the Southern Pa
cifc. If this case Is permitted to reach de-
cision 1t will determine also the Northern
Pacific's right to lands where 1t has not CON-
pleted its road within the required time and 1t
may not prove TO have as invulnerable claims
To them as has been tacitly conceded. The
fact would make an exceedingly interesting
feature In suit 10 case the railroad company
should determine to not make compensation
where roadway In taken on even numbered
sections to which government title has been
issued subsequent to the actual, II not the
technical, forfeiture OF the grant by the
company.

Gambetta's Dictatorship Ended

PARIs, June 10.-The Repu6lique Frdn-
caise, Gambetta's organ, admits the defeat Of
its party and compares the vote on the
Scrutiu De Liste blu in the Senate yesterday
to the reactionary proceedings of the 9th of
May, 1877. The relations between the Sem
ate and the Chamber of Deputies, 1t says,
will now become greatly strained. The gen.
eral election, straiued as 1t will be by strong
agitation, will be adverse to the Senate il the
people pronounce in favor Of Scrutin De
Liste. The article concludes: We are not
discouraged; we shall regain our liberty of
aciioa, aud shall use 1t. The moderate
journals declare that the question of the
Scrutin De Liste will now be referred to the
electoral body, which Is Its natural Judge.
Irreconcilable and Monarchist papers profess
to regard the vote as putting an end to Gam
betta's dictatorship. Rumors are current
that Constaute, Minister of Justice, and
Gen. Faure, Minister of War, viii tender
their designations, and that Gambetta will
resign the Presidency of the Chamber of
Deputies.
