Submarine TeIegraPhV.
Io,x,on I1nkf


An appeal to the public is being
m ade on behalf of Jacob Brett, one of
the original projectors of the submarine
telegraph. 1t is not generally known
that, although some experiments have
been made bv Prof Wheatstone in
ENGLAND and Prof, Morse in America,
with the view of testing the possibility Of
submarine Geographic communication,
Messrs. Brett registered the first pat
ents for that object, and at their own
risk and cost obtained a concession
from the French government TO lay
down a submarine line between France
and England; and it was through
their energy and perseverance that a
scientific theory, disbelieved in by the
most eminent engineers Of the day, was
converted into the most important prac-
tical fact of the present century. Mr..
John Brettdied in 1858; his brother
wives, and now, at an advanced age,
has become homeless and penniless
owing to the failure of the investment
into which he had put the small for
tune his early exertions brought him.
Under these painful circumstances an
appeal for pecuniary assistance is put
forward on his behalf.

SENDING A TELEGRAM.

Burlington Hd,ekeye.


One man reached q long arm over the
little crowd clustered at the operators win
dow and asked for q "blank telegraphic
form" explaining that he wished 70 send
photographic dispatch to his family" Now,
when a man speaks of photographic dis.
patch" always wake up and look at him,
becsuse the cumbersome title Is all at utter
variance with the spirit of the telegraph.
II is too long. The use Of 1t detrays
the man who has little use for the telc-
graph. The more he uses the wire, the
shorter his terms. The more nearly he can
come to saying "msg' the more content he

form" he asks for d ''blank, black or red
as the case may be. And he never "tele-
graphs" anybody. He "wires' them. And
he doesn't explain to the operator what be
wants to do with the blank. Presumably
he wants to send q message. And as for
the matter referred 10 in that "msg and
the party for whom IL is intended, the ope-
rator will know all that be wishes to know
and sometimes much more than you want
him to know-soon enough.

HER EYES UNsEALeD.
A Girl Blind from Birth Made 20 Se<
by the Removal ola Cataract.

Those who have read Wilkie Collins
"Poor Miss Finch" says the Rochester
IN. ~ Post, will readily recall Lucilla's
misfortune, blindness from birth, caused
BY cataracts. DIR. Grdose's fallacies re-
garding the struggles Of sight to assert
itself in persons who have been blind for
life, the illusions OF the patient regard
ing distance, color, forms, ETC., will be
remembered. Lucilla could not, from
restored sight, tell whether an object
held before was q cube or globe;
whether handkerchief was white or
colored. She had great horror Of any
thing dark; that is, when she was
blind. In her Imagination, Lucilla's an-
swers questions were pat tn the theories
Of Sturgeon Optic Crosse" and he WAS
pleased at the result of this skill. There

the present time, the counterpart OF Id

surgeon optic" his fallacies and theor-
les. The subject is Emma Waterstraat,
IL years of age. She was born In Loets,
Pomerania, Germany. She came TO
New York city two years ago. On the
sth Of April this year, she came TO
Rochester and resided with her aunt on
Hoeizer street, her father and mother
being dead. Two or three months Of
this time she passed In the blind asOlum
at Batavia, where she learned to read
ruised letters by the touch. Her trou.
BILE was congential cataract, and from
birth she could only see so US to dis
tinguish between day and night.
When taken to the City Hospital, the
eminent oculist Of the institution, after
an examination, said her sight could be
restored, and three weeks ago he oPerat-
ed on the left eye, producing "rif In
the cloud" which had shut out her
sight for so many years. The writer,
interested In seeing her when the first
test was made, visited the h0spitsl, ana
when the bandage was removed BY the
surgeon she told him she could zee his
fingers. A vase Of flowers was held be-
fore her, and she said they were flowers
and one Of them red. She told wnat
other objects were, and their form. "lIr.
Grosse'sp confined theories, "Poor MHs

PEELED, by this practical illustration, this
fact. Emma's sight continues 70 I'M

from absorption. No further operation
may be necessary, and there b no ques-

Prehistoric Remains in Dako sa.


At the Sherman house, Bismark, is q
specimen of a tooth, that probably
once belonged to mammoth or mas
todon. 1t was found by Mr.. William
Chamberlain about one hundred
miles above the crossing of the North
eTn Pacific, on the little Missouri river,
near the mouth Of Box Elder. 1t
measures nine inches in length, four
and one-eighth inches in width, and
six inches in depth, and Is in perfect
state Of preservation. Near the tooth
was found a tusk, measuring four and
one half feet in length and five inches
in diameter. This crumbled somewhat
when exposed to the air, but it is being
preserved rs carefully as possible.
About five hundred feet from where the
tooth was discovered a huge bone over
eight feet in length and ten to fourteen
inches in diameter was found in the
bed Of the river, but as soon as exposed
crumbled into dust These curiosities
are indeed very rare specimens,

Comet Seen ut Noon.

The astronomical contributor to

that any complete observation of
comet at MONDAY, on the meridian,
has been made since the year l74f. The
grand comet in the early part of that
year, first remarked by Kinkenberg at
Harlem, on Dec 8, l743, attained an ex-
traordinary degree of brilliancy toward
the end Of February. We find Bliss

POLITICAL BREYITRs.

~ Bookwalter's friends say he was
.bled'' freely by the Ohio Democrats.
The Democrats on the contrary, con-
fess that they nominated him with the
brightest anticipations of being able to
do something of that kind, but that the
experiment was as disappointing as that
of the amateur scientist who once at
tempted to extract blood from turnip.

less 1t should be Davis. He was the
friend of Lincoln, he made an upright
Judge, and he has made conscien-
tious Senator His disposition is to act

Sly sammy.

! A Democratic member of the General
Assembly to-day asserted that the fire
now raging in the camp of the faithful
relative to the inwardness of the Book
walter campaign is nothing less than q
move on the part of the friends of Sem
ator Pendleton to crush the Springfield
statesman and pave his (Pendleton's)
way to securing this State for the Presi-
Dental nomination in 1884. Gentleman
George, it is claimed, is busily engaged
in setting up the pins, and has fears that
Mr.. Bookwalter may loom up in some
way and impede the progress of the
Presidential aspirant, for il must be re-
membered that Mr.. Pendleton did not
rend any linen last fall when Mr.. Book
walter was sorely in need of friends.
Now, it is asserted, that the Presiden-
tial bee has got to buzzing again in PEN
dleton's bonnet, he remembers his re-
missions then and fears that Mr. Book
walter may have q razor concealed about
his person, to be used in lifting hair
where it will do the most good and in
fiict the most punishment to lukewarm
friends and enemies in disguise.
With Bookwalter crushed and dis
posed of, Mr.. Pendleton imagines the
coast clear, but this. 1t is claimed, will
be found to be delusion and a snare.
There is sly old chap in the city of
New York who has his weather eve ON
the racket here, and will see that Mr..
Bookwalter shall rise again; and in this
connection it may be well to state that
Mr.. Bookwalter has been and may even
now be in that city, and closeted with
the sage of Grammercy Park. Tilden
is in the race for 1884, and will give Mr..
Pendleton tussle for the Buckeye State.
Bookwalter is one of the humber instru-
ments in the hands of Cipher Sam-one
of the strings which he will use to ma
nipulate affairs in this State. Then it is
claimed that when the proper time ar
rives Jongee viii be called on to lend a
hand, and Allen G. Thurman will rise
up to destroy the symmetry of Mr.. PEN
dleton's calculations. The programme
sensions among the Western, in order to
prize played for. 1t is, therefore,
claimed that the handspring behind the
business is Samuel j. Tilden, who sees
the rising star of the :. ..Young Eagle of
the West" and has set about to clip h 9
wings while his boom for the Presidency
is yet in its infancy, and to accomplish
ulate Thurman, and raise hades gener-
ally. Sam Tilden, it is believed, is in
this race to win, and will see that
"Gentleman George" and the Superb
are duly disposed of. His machinery is
in motion, and soon the Hoosier Democ-
racy will be engaged in devouring the
remnant left in that State. Hendricks,
Mcdonald, English and Voorhees, can
be induced to participate in little
mud-throwingi matinee that will cause
the alleged political soul of Cipher Sam
to leap with JOY and cause Eastern DEM
ocrats to become exceedingly glad.
With this view of things there is much
toll, turmoil and trouble in store for the
Democracy, AID q regular cat and par
rot time may be confidently expected
between this time and that when the
question of the Democratic Presidential
nomination of 1884 is set led Coluna-
