Mrs. LincOlnss Eyes.

Chicago, 10 Inter Oceans New
York: The published statement that Mrs.
Lincoln has lost the use of her ey-s is
untrue. DR. Lewis A. Sayre, who has
been her physician ever since her return
from Europe, a year ago last Septem Der,
told Herald reporter that her eyes had
been growing sensibly weaker for some
time past. and that he bad determined TO
call in his consulting physicians, the
occulists, Drs. G. B. 'Agnew and Herman
Krupp; that she had been accustomed 10
sitting in a darkened room for some
time, and having her letters written by
an attendant, which has doubtless led to
this statement.

English Idea.

London, 1.-THE conduct of Guiteau's
trial continues, am sorry to say, to dis
gust everybody here. No judge can un-
derstsnd the behavior of the accused in
court, and good many people think
such spectacle goes far to explain and
to excuse the preference shown in some
parts of your western country for the
tribunal of Judge Lynch. Murder at
least is not made joke of in that tribu-
nal.
The Spectator seems TO think this I'M
seemly behavior all comes from the tact
that your lawyers and judges dc not wear
any gowns in court, without which sp-
parently the dignity of justice cannot be
preserved. The proceedings, at all
events, are entirely inexplicable to all
lawyers here.

8 Washington, 1S.-Congressman Davis,
of Illinois, has introduced in the House
of Representatives a bill to amend the
mining law, so IS to provide that in any
case where, between two locations on the
same lode or vein, or between location
and any natural object which forms q
visible or apparent termination Of such
vein, there shall be rem nant or portion
of said lode or vein, not exceeding 1,5OO
feet in length, not localed or otherwise
appropriated for the space of one year,
and the same shall not be open and Visi-
Bile, or readily accessible in any part
thereof, by reason Of its being deeply
covered or otherwise inaccessible. It
shall he lawful for the owner or claim
ant of either of the adjoining ends of said
lode or vein to make claim to such unlO-
Gated remnant, and TO locate it as an eX-
tension Of the lode held by hin, and to
obtain patent for it without performing
the labor required in the case of the dis
covery and location of an original
claim.
The bill further provides that, in case
an application has not been made for a
patent en- such original claim, the appli-
cation for it may include the extension
as aforesaid. In all such cases, it shall
be sufficient location Of such unappro-
prIated tract that the locator set UP a no.
tce to file certificate of location indi-
eating bis claim to such tract H. an
extension of the adjacent lode; provid d,
however, that sucn owner snail apply for
q patent on such remnant within two
years after such location, or it shall be
he as abandoned and open for location
as in other cases.
Davis has also introduced bill to
amend the act Of June Sd, '78, author
izing citizens of Nevada, Colorado and
the territories. to take tim Der from the
public domain for mining and domestic
purposes, by adding to its first section a
proviso IS follows: PRO Vided, that
nothing in this act shall be construed to
authorize any person other than the
holder of a claim, or location upon 8
mineral lode. or other mineral land,
made and held pursuant to laws relating
to mineral lands, to enter upon such
claim or location, and cut, remove or de-
stroy, or otherwise injure, the tim Der
