Travels of an Eye-stone.
Midaletown lConn 1 Press.

Middletown (Conn Press.
 The following remarkable incident has just come to our knowledge. It would seem almost incredible were it not for the absolute veracity of the gentleman making the statement. MT. Rufus Miller is a well-known farmer of this town, living at Mechanicstown. Some five or six years ago, just before retiring, MT. Miller placed in his eye what was known as an eyestone, for the purpose of removing mote, as he had frequently done before. For the benefit of those of our readers who may not kuow what an eye-Stone is, We will ex- plain. It is small, white, round shell, about three-sixteenth of an inch in diameter, cencave on one side, convex on the other and quite thin. It is taken from the head of crab, one being found under each eye of that crustacean. In the morning, when Mir Miller awoke. he could not find the stone. He made a careful and thorough search, but all in vain, and he made up his mind that it was gone for good. A few weeks since he felt hard growth on the end of the little finger of his right hand. He showed it to some friends, who conclud> ed it was warf and advised him to let it alone. He did so until about week since, when it began to be sore, and he commenced picking at it. He soon found out that some hard substance was under the skin and, digging away, he finally took oout his longlost eye-stone. He examined 1t so carefully that there can be no mistake. He now recollects that at one time he experienced a consider able soreness in his wrist and supposed at that period the stone was pressing in that direction. How this bit of carbo- nate of lime ever made that long journey without being lost or absorbed is a mystery. That it did so there can be nc doubt.

 Tommy Stiles lived on, a. farm, and went to the district school. He was a bright boy, and always learned his les- sons well. But he liked best to hear the older children recite. He was fond of history. He likedto hear of wars, and the brave deeds of soldiers One fine June day Tommy thought he would play soldier himself, and go to war. He put on an old red vest which his father wore in, the brass band. His mother made him a, paper soldier-cap, with plumes. He had g wooden gun. tin sword, and 8 small drum. 4 There was no other boy there to play, with him and so he made believe he, was the whole army, He was Cantsi:, Thomas, and Tommy the drummer boy, and Tom the soldier, and all three were the army. Then Captain Thomas said, Forward. march P and waved his sword. Tom shouldered his gun. Tom my beat the. .drum,--but this was not easy, for Toms gun, and Captain Thom- ass sword were in the way. Then the army marched to the field behind the barn. Vi
 Up and down it filed, back and forth, now quick, no Y slow. Indeed, now and then it hopped! Captain Thomas had to call out to Tom pretty often to keek step. But there was no fault to find with Tommy. He drummed 80 hard that he scared the hens and sheep. All went well only for one thing. Once Tom ran so fast that he tumbled down, and bumped the army's nose against a stone. Then Captain Thomas was angry and scolded poor Tom well, can tell you.
 At last a grand charge was made. The army raced after Spot, the calf, and thumped the drum, and shook the sword and threw stones (This was firing the gun.) Poor Spot was put to flight: He ran up the hill with his heels and tail flying wildly in the air.
 Then the army marched back to the garden fence. and Captain Thomas made a speech. Soldiers" said he, Eve have whipped the whole world, and it has run away. I did it with my sword. Now Imust be king"
 Justthen Trix the gray goose, stretched her neck through the fence and bit Tom- my on the leg. The captain, the druIn- mer, and the whole army raised g loud yell, while Trix hissed fercely. Then down went the drum, and the gun, and the sword. The army limped off to the kitchen. Had you seen Captain Thomas soon after, sobbing on hls mothers lap, you would not have dreamed that he was the little man who had just "whip> ped the whole world" 4 9g

TAPPING THE WIRES.

The New York Esaiig Express, in its
annual review Of the past years business,
says that it has been the most remarkable
one in the history OF the country. During
It's progress more railroads have been built,
more freight and passengers have been
transported, more money earned, and more
interest and dividends paid, than in any
former year This happy condition Of
affairs is attributed to good crops, the
growth Of the country, the heavy influx Of
gold from abroad, and the complete restSra-
tiou of confidence, the outgrowth of the
success Of the resumption OF specie pay
meuts.
The summer residence of James ID.

traversers In Ireland was much fuller yes
terday than on preceding days. The At

which he stated that the principles taught
by the agitatOrs we're called American
principles, but they were more properly to
be called Red Rspublicanism and Nihilism.
When he concluded there was no manifesto
ton of any kind. Three hundred land
meetings are to be held on Sunday next.
Neither Mr.. ParneIl nor any Of the traversers
will participate in them, however. A large
meeting OF land owners and tenant farmers
was held at Ennisklllen, county Feruagb,
yesterday, at which the Land League was
denounced.

1881

Old Father Time has completed
another of his cycles called years. and,
having bid farewell to 1880. we today
enter upon the new year 1881.
The year Just passed has been a re-
markable one. Though characterized by
peace and prosperity throughout nearly
the entire globe, it has nevertheless wit
messed some important scenes, which
may materially affect the worlds his
tory in the near future. II
has seen in Europe a complete change
in the character of the government
of Great Britain, and the Inauguration
of an agitation in that realm which, be-
fore it ends, viii probably result in
material changes in old established
customs and laws, if in nothing more
serious. In America, we have been
blessed with good crops. a revival of
business on a solid basis and general pros
peritY which continues undated to the
present moment. Besides this, we
have passed through an exciting politi-
cal canvass, and have witnessed the
election of another Chief Magistrate Of
the Union, to be inaugurated early in
the present year, and whose administra
ton will perhaps play an important part
in determining the destiny Of the com
try. Therefore, though not specially
marked by excitement or sensation, in
the year 1880 the foundation for future
of unusual interest has been laid.
1891 IS ushered in amid circumstances
we'll calculated to inspire hope in the
entire country; but especially in the
South. Throughout the past season ouI
farmers have produced, in the main,
good crops, for which they have re
ceived satisfactory prices, aud, as re
suit, they have prospered, and their good
fortune has made itself felt throughout
our section. But this is by no means the
most important event which has tran
spired to inspire the South with hope for
the future. The peculiar circumstances
surrounding the recent Presidential cleo
ton have opened the eyes Of the South
ern people to their true interests. Here
tofore they have been relying too much
in fact almost entirely-upon Suppos
ed friends at the North. These supposed
friends deserted them at the very
moment when their alliance and
friendship were counted on, and
this desertion has taught the
people Of our section that they must
henceforth rely on themselves. 1t las
further caused them to realize that they
contain within themselves the means Of
true independence, and has given rise TO
determination to develop their re
sources and guard well their material
interests. if this determination is well
taken aud adhered to, the South will
have no cause to regret the treacherY
to which we have alluded, and one year
hence will see her on the high road TO
wealth and power.
We can, therefore, enter upon the year
just begun with feeling of confidence
and hope. Trusting that q kind and
beneficent Providence will watch over
our common country, and permit this
hope to be speedily lost in fruition, and
assuring our readers that the News will
faithfully strive to do its part towards
bringing about 50 happy a consumma-
ton, we wish them all HAPPY NEW
YEAR.

for the purpose OF making an investiga-
ton of the anti election Chinese riot in
that town. in which a number of the
BIongolians we're so roughly handled,
and their houses and property destroyed.
He estimates the loss at 100000. and
has already secured claims from China
men amounting TO three-fourths of this
sum. The sufferers seem to have been
very moderate in their claims; one third
of the loss is credited to money stolen
by the mob, another third to linen, etc,
belonging to their patrons, and which
was lost in the riot. while their claims
for houses, personal property, etc,
amounts to less than $4,000.
