Works, on tho ono hand mud tho Board OF
County Commissioners on tha other hand.
Out Of this controversy has grown lawsuit.
,r|lcso two Governments reprosent substan-
tlully t1lo samu people md tito salue taxable
property. The controversy is that the Coun-
ty Hospital building, which is located lu tho
city, Is supplied with water from the city
works. Tho city demands that tho county
shall pay for tho water used III tho hospital.
and tho County Government, regarding tho
hospital as a public charity. sustained BY
public taxation, open md free to al1, insists
that 1t should not pay any tax for tho water
consumed, The Water Department clalms
that It Is entitled to Its rovenuo, and gavo
orders that the water be cut of from the los
pital; whoreupon tho county Inns procured q
temporary injunction prohibiting any such
arbitrary action.

c0RKLIHa'B OPPORTUNITY.
Several Important announcements cahie
from Washington yesterday. VI course tho
most sensational was that OF Afr. .Conkling's
resignation from thu United States Senate.
There were two other statements however.
which were Of the nature OF singular and
Significant coincidence. and suggested grand
opportunity for ex-senator Conkling to
appeal to the country for popular verdict
upon Ills assumed grievance.
First, it Is announced on the authority OF
Senator Logan TINT Gen. Grant has decided
never again to present himself rs candidate
for President. Senator Logan Is reported rs
saying that Ito heard Gen. drant mnke tho |
declaration in such d manner rs to render 1t |
certain that lie will not change TITS mind.
Second. u gentleman very near to Secretary |
blaine told reporter tho very same day
that Blaine las abandoned all his rresi-
DENTAL aspirations, and TINT Ills ambition Is
now confined to promote the SUCCESS of Gar- |
fields first Administration anu 80 as Minister
to England during the second Adnlinfstra-
ton II Garfield shall be reSloctad.
This leaves fair Held for ex-senator Conk-
ling to enter tho lists MS n Presidential cn,dl
date, nntagonizinE Garfeld's denomination
md reelection rs the basis of his own candl-
dacy. II there were n number OF Formidable
candidates in the field 1t might not bo fair to
submit tho issue between Garfield md Conk-
ling to such n test. But tho retirement of
Grant and Blaine from future contests will
eliminate all confusing elements. Gartinll

"Neyer Mind the HAT. NV Boy,

General Sherman was idly sauntering
up and down the lobby of the Windsor
Hotel, deep in thought, and cOmplacent-
ly putting at his havana, and blowing
the white smoke into pretty little rings.
Suddenly a rough looking man, with
face so heavily bearded that one could
see nothing but the twinkling black eye,
approached him, and, raising his hat
with awkward embarrassment, said:
"GoOd morning, General"
The hero of Winchester returned the
greeting, touched his cap with military
pOliteness, and then, trying to peer
through the miners heavy beard to get
a glimpse of his features, the General
said:
Pm afraid I've forgotten your face,
sir"
The eyes of the man from Gunnison
twinkled brighter than ever as he re-
marked:
cts not unlikely, General; seems we
never met but once afOre, you wouldn't
be so apt to remember me as | am you.
It's seventeen years since saw you last.
Things has changed since then. 1t was
on the battle field of Cedar Creek. Don't
you remember the soldier that gave you
his horse when yours was shot from
under you by shower of canister from
the masked batteries OH the brow of the
hillw and the old man looked up with
eager pride into the Generals face.
THAT L do" answered the General,
with pleased interest and a brighter flash
in his eye; 81 remember it WE'LL"
81 was that soldier" continued the
miner, proudly. 81 remember the cir
cumstances well, sir. When you put the
spurs to my horse and gallOped off you
left your hat behind you. l called to you
as loud as | could, but you replied,
Never mind the hat, my boy I've got
that hat yet, General. It's hanging in
my cabin in the mountains" and the
rough fellows eyes glowed with pleasure.
Sheridan grasped his hand and lead him
to a seat, and for half an hour they
fought the battle of Cedar Creek over
again.-Denuer Tribune.

Long ana short sight.

Hartford Dispatch to the New York Times.
Last winter gentleman living near
Litchfield took his daughter, 16 years of
age, on a sleighride. The day was cold,
but very sunny. On their return the
girl complained of her eyes. The trouble
grew worse, and finally the girl was
kept in dark room, and there remained
with no ray of light until few days ago,
when she experienced peculiar sensa-
ton which she describes as follows; ut
seemed as If my eyes were running out,
or part of them. Putting my hand up
to my eyes could feel something coming
out over my lower eyelids, which l took
hold of and pulled out. Itgave me some
pain to do so, but almost Immediately
my eyes felt better. Instead Of a smart
ing sensation when / winked, they felt
cool and natural, and 1t was pleasure
to wink them. Then came the thought
Why, my eyes are better, and believe
could bear the light which thought was
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1881-08-27

so impressed upon upon my mind that l
determined to try. Hesitatingly open
ed the door, when to my great joy found
| was able to bear the light as well as |
ever could. The feeling that came over
me at the moment found out that
could once more leave the dark, dismal
room, and see the glorious sunlight again
was so OverpOwering that l gave one
scream for joy and tainted away.
Now comes the strangest part Of the
story. Six months ago the girls eyes
were straight and natural; now the girl
Is crOss-eyed, but she pays no atten-
ton to that. She sees things just the
same as she always did, but let her close
herlright eye and look out Of only her left
eye, and she can see q distance of eight
or ten miles, and distinguish things as
we'll as an ordinary person can only
sixty rods away. She is able to look
clear to the lake, distance Of three and
half miles, and identify anyone, de-
scrlbing their dress even. The distant
hills are brought close to her. and she
can see the farmers getting in their hay,
even counting the number of heaps,
which in an air line are seven miles
from her. To test her, a field-glass was
used, and her sight would far Outreach
any object that could be seen with glass.
If she closes her left eye and looks out of
the right, then she can not see anything
except close to her, but that eye is per-
feet microscope. She is able to distin-
guish things that the natural eye can
not see. The point of needle looks as
blunt as crOwbar, and it is wonderful
to hear her describe the beautiful cOlOrs
of flies and other insects. To her the
hairs on PERSONS head look as large as
darning needles, and in the finest piece
of linen she can count the threads as
easily as anyone can count bean poles. The
moment she opens both eyes they assume
the crOss-eyed expression OF shape, and
then she sees again:as any other person.
1t is the intention Of her father to take
her to New York at no distant day, to let
some of the celebrated physicians see this
wonderful phenomenon. The girl her
self is very bright. pretty girl, but
very timid.

Nothing to Me.

The grace has gone from our Used-to-be;
1t is nothing to me nOw-nOthing to me.
/ can muse unmoved on those days Of old
Their summer splendOr is pale and cold;
Recall the ferv0r of look and wcrd,
And never pulse Of my heart is stirred.
And more and more know and see
1t Is nothing to me.
How old one feels when something sweet
With Life's best beauty lies under his feet
When he would not stOop to lift from the earth
Something that late was of priceless worth;
When he carelessly treads down into the dust
A WORKOUT bliss, or threadbare trust;
When he says to himself, with smile maybe,
'It is nothing to me-"
I smile as say it. And yet, and yet,
1t is strange to sorrow for lost regret;
Strange to be missing from heart and brain
A cherished gift or petted pain;
And stranger still 1t seemeth to know
That the royal grace Of our LOng-ago,
The golden glow of our Yesterday,
Has faded forever into gray,
And sadly say it, and not in glee,
ut is nothing to me-"

Say, mister. are we on this side of the

lady of a gentleman on Court street
car yesterday morning.
"We are on this SIDE" responded the
gentleman gravely.
Laws mel Then we amt anywhere
near Greenwood cemetery yet?"
"Yes, madame, we are within few
squares of it,"
"Sakes a massv! thought Greenwood
was on the other side of the bridge"
"NO, madame; it is on this side."
"Well, that pesky conductor told me it
was the other side when we started"
ut was, madame. on the other side
then, but we have crossed the BRIDGE"
"Then we are on the other sidep
"NO, madame, we are on this side of
the bridge. We've passed it,"
"And is Greenwood on the other side?"
she asked starting up i'm some alarm.
"NO it is on this side."

nantly. Don't try to make me think
that Greenwood is on this side of the

to make me believe I'm on this side Of
the bridge when know I'm on the other!
Don't we do it! You want to be careful
how you amuse yourself with me, or I'll

the lady shook her umbrella in warning
