Experiments on the Eve,

That sensations of light may be pro-
duced by mechanical irritation of the
nerve of the eye is now shown to be the
case, by observations recently made by
Schmidt-kimpler. on person from
whom an eye had been removed not
long before. A blunt instrument was
placed against that part Of the orbit in
which the stump of the nerve was stu
ated, and the observations were made in
q room almost completely dark. OF
six persons, in two, pressure on this spot
always caused a flash of light on the
side of the enucleated eye, and some of
them averred that the sensation exactly
resembled that which he had before ex-
perienced when the eye-ball was gal
vanized; the same patients experienced
a similar sensation when the stump of
the nerve was galvanized. The negative
result of other cases is explained by the
more complete atrophy of the nerve,
or greater reaction of the stump.

AN EXTRAORDINARY OFFER.

There are a number of persons out of
employment in every county,-yet ener-
getic men willing to work do not need
to be. Those willing to work can make
from 500 to $500 month clear, work
ing for us in a pleasant and permanent
business. The amount our agents make
varies, some making as high as $500
month while others as low as 500, all
depending on the energy of the agent.
We have an article of great merit. It
should be sold to every HORSEPOWER and
pays over 100 per cent profit. Each
sale is from So. SO to $1,000. One agent
in Pennsylvania sold 80 in two days, and
cleared $64. 90. An agent in New York
made S45.0 in one day. Any man
with energy enough to work full day.
and will do this during the year can
make from 1900 to SO, 900 year We
only want one man In each county, and
to him will give the exclusive sale as
long as he continues to work faithfully
for us. There is no competition, and
nothing like our invention made. Par
ties having from $500 to 81, 900 to invest,
can obtain General Agency for ten
counties or state. Any one can make
an investment of from $25 to ST 900 with
out the least risk of loss, as our Circulars
will show that those investing S25 can
after a 80 days trial return the goods
unsold to US and get their money back,
if they do not clear at least 500. They
show that General Agent who will take
ten counties and invest S216. 90 can after
trial of 90 days return all goods unsold
to us, and have money returned to them
if they fail to clear at least $3.50 in that
time There are many persons having
money to invest who could not give the
business personal attention-such can
employ sub agents without leaving home
making large amount yearly out of q
very small investment. We are not pay
ing salaries, but want men willing to
work and obtain as their pay the profits
of their energy. Men not willing to work
On our terms will not work on any.
Those meaning business will receive

Bosses too Slow for the Funeral.

Judge Wylie, who is trying the star
route swindlers, had his little joke about
the newspapers the other day. He in
timated that they had been trying the
case. Il don't know what progress the
newspapers have made; may be they
have found verdict" said the Judge.
They should have-long ago-not hav-
ing been hindered by technicalities or
long-winded lawyers. The late Col.
isaac o. Barnes once attended the
funeral of a deceased friend. The ex-
ercises were long and tedious. While
they were dragging along Col. Barnes
turned to q stranger near him, and
whispered: Ibid you know - (ths
deceased)?'' Every WELL" was the re-
ply. '.He was mighty prompt man.
continued the colonel; i'if he had been
bossing this funeral the corpse would
have been to the ground an hour ago."

Dime far tha Children.

The New York Tribune, during tho
last summer, gave from week to week
the history of the effect which country
life, and the unwonted kindness shown
them, had upon the children who had
been sent out of the city into the coun-
try by the s'Fresh Air Fund" But even
that alert journal could not tell any
thing of the pleasure and glow Of
healthy feeling that had been produced
among the thousands of children and
grown people who contributed the
money.
of the country; from happy parents
whose children were still with them. and
from those whose children had left them
forever; from poor and rich; from old
men and from babies who saved their
pennies to keep other babies alive.
In one house, where the father sent q
cheque for large sum, the children
held fair in the woods and made 81.
A poor little colored boy on the place
hearing the story of the boys in New
York who never had seen q rabbit,
brought 25 cents-his savings for q
month-'sto send out dat ar poor fellah,
an glib him real coon hunt"
The children of a Sunday school in
New York city asked that their contri-
buttons for foreign missions might be
diverted to this purpose. "You see."
exclaimed one of the boys, 'we're so
much better acquainted with the shoe
blacks in Broadway than the shoe-blacks
in Siam''-which was accurate in reas-
oning if not in fact.
One poor seamstress who supported .
blind mother and drunken husband sent
a dollar, with the wish that she ''could
afford to give more in memory of the
dear babe she had lost"
Never was there, perhaps, an act of
charity which blessed SO largely both
those who gave and those who received
as this, which has given beautiful high
meaning to the summer just past.

"a Monster Sky-Scraper.

The all-absorbing topic on the streets
at Brockport, N. Y, is that of DR..
Beebee's kite. A few weeks ago the
Doctor told the boys of kite he made
in Madison county. The story was
large and those who heard it doubted
the Doctors veracity, but the Doctor,
in order to keep his credit good, told
couple of young lawyers that he would
make another, if they would furnish
the string, to which they agreed. The
kite was made. and the string, which
was a coil Of three-eighths rope, nearly
5000 feet in length, was ordered, and
sent from Rochester. 2'ne rope and
kite were taken out on South avenue,
and, to the establishment of the hum
dreds of spectators, the monster shot
into the air like balloon.
The frame was made of lumber two
inches wide, by half an inch thick, and
was covered with MANILA paper. The
surface contained nearly $50 square
feet. After the monster had foated a
mile high for couple of hours, the
problem of getting it down was next in
order, and was not accomplished until
Mr.. Cary brought pulley and team
and hauled it down.-RocheSter Express.

A Kentucky Assortment,

A remarkable terrier dog has his ex-
istence in Oldham county. He has ta-
ken charge of flock of thirty turkeys,
driving them to pasture where grass
hoppers and other insects are plenty,
and driving them home again at night
using coercive measures, when neces-
sary, to effect this end. He permits
neither chickens nor hawks to modest
his charges.
Two fierce dogs attacked a man in
Hartford, and had him down on the
ground preparatory to chewing him up,
when cow lying in the road attacked
the dogs and put them to flight.
An Eminence hen has brought out
three broods of chickens at different
times in the forks of beech tree, twen-
ty feet from the ground.
A hawk killed in Owen county recent

NJ. BARTHoLp1's colossal statue

M. BARTHoLDI's colossal statue of
Liberty" may go to Boston instead of
New York. The latter city virtu ally
accepted the gift in 1876, but has not
provided the pedestal, which would cost
about 100000. The lukewarm way in
which the New York people have treated
the French givers has led the French
committee having the matter in hand to
offer the statue to Boston. The statue
is nearly completed, and will arrive in
America in 1883.
