Blind Bride.

The american Farmer. in speaking against
the use of the blind bride, says: ''Wc know
not who invented this instrument of horse tor
ture, but we know that he did not understand
the anatomy and physiology of the eye of horse
Human vision is bnocular-that is, we see the
same object with both eyes-and so adjust the
axis of vision that the object appears single,
though seen with both eyes. But the eyes of
horse are placed on the side of the head
and the axis of each eye is nearly at right
angles with the longitudinal line of the body,
so that it is impossible that the same object
can be distinctly seen with two eyes. Now, by
binding the eye in the direction in which it
was intended in its construction that 1t should
see. it is forced to use an Oblique vision as if
we should cover the front Of our OPTICS and be
compelled to see only by the corner Of our eyes.
This unnatural and constrained use of the eye
must, to greater or less extent, impair vision.
If not entirely destroy it. The object for which
the blind bride is used is not ACCOMPLISHED by
It, horse is more readily frightened when he
cannot see the object of his dread than if he
can have fair view Of it. But it is surprising
to observe with what tenacity men hold on to
an absurd and cruel practice. when moments
reflection would teach them better. Nineteen
out of twenty horses you see in harness have a
blind bride on. and if you ask the owner to ex-
plain its benefits, or why he uses it, he will be
utterly unable to give rational answer. We
are not surprised that draught horses are sub
ject to diseased eyes-we wonder that they are
not all blind.

1880:
Last week the Sun did great Injustice to a
man and subjected him to much annoyance. for
which it desires to apologize. We received
letter from Mr.. Pierce, the hotel-keeper at Wa
tertown junction, saying that his friend Towne,
of Ayers hotel. Harvard, had sent to him to Dor
row number of cats; and, as he had but few
cats. he desired us to request hotel men to send
a number of cats to Mr.. Towne. We did so. and
the result has been all that could be desired, as
about 120 cats have arrived at Harvard by eX-
press. and the returns are not all in. We hereby
ask all hotel-men who have not sent cats to Mr.
TOwne to refrain from doing so. We know it

The whole thing is a mistake. 1t was '.cots :"
that Mr.. Towne wanted to borrow. and Mr.
Pierce. either wickedy or because he can
not read very WELL read "cots' cats -
as the following correspondence between the
two gentlemen will show:

such almost furious growth, such unscrupu-
lousness, yet such wild boar energy, that it
seems hundred years less civilized than Cincin-

society in the world that had no original mod

people, like Franklin's kind of honesty that no

Yet here dwell side by side, almost in the same
bosom, generous impulses and sordid life, the
hog bound to get his tusks into the money
trough, and the little pig who can tie an afrec-
tiOnate memorandum i'm his tail. Domestic life
and even social aspirations sprout to some ex-

A Plucky Little Fellow.

''You are a plucky little fellow" These
words were spoken on board the flagship
Portsmouth, of the training fleet, on the
occasion of the disl: ibution of medals to the
boys, at Newport, r. l., a few weeks ago. The
speaker was Admiral Porter, and the person
addressed was Apprentice Krepps, of the first
class The circumstances which brought about
the compliment from such distinguished source
are as follows:
Some seven or eight weeks ago, while the
Portsmouth was still far out of sight of land.
bound home from Europe. number of appren-
tees were sent up to take in canvas. There was
pretty stiff brceze blowing and the log shows
that the vessel was rolling to considerable ex-
tent. After the sails had been taken in and the
boys were In the act of Obeying the call to come
down, the vessel gave sudden lurch and over
went young krcpps into the sea. The cry,
" Boy overheard, " was Immediately heard, and
orders were given for boat to put out for the
little chap. He was repeatedly lost to view
while the vessel was heaving to, although it
was seen that he was making brave struggle
for iife.s He made for the stern of the vessel
and got hold of some chains that were hanging
there. These he chung to like grim death, and
then called out to the men in the boat: 81 guess
there is no danger; am here at the stern"
Blood was streaming from his eye, which had
been cut in falling. It was for his great pluck
that he was specially noticed by the admiral,
who took occasion to make q remark when
handing him the Admiral Bailey medal of gold
given annually to the apprentice who is most
proficient In gunnery.

Departure Of Howell and Lee
From the New York Herald, 6th


number Of faces well known In connection
with sporting matters were to be seen on the
Guon Company's steamship wharf at noon yes
terday. The object of the gathering was TO
wish good-by to Charley Rowe who went home
on the Arizona to spend Christmas and remain
there till news is received from the states that
winter has broken up. and to wish good luck to
George W. Lee who goes over to back up his
challenge to row any man i'm England. With
them was Mr. Peter J. Duryea, who was Row
ellis hacker in the races he engaged In this year
and will be again behind him whenever the lit
tie Englishman chooses to enter into any Pc
destrian contest. Mr.. Duryea has perfected
arrangements with Hanlan and Lee by which he
will manage their match making during the
coming season. and he stated that his idea i'm
taking Lee over was as much for the purpose of
giving the latter some work to do as anything
else. 1T is no use, said Mr.. Duryca. Ito take
Hanlan over, because there is no one to row him
there: but | think Lee will be afforded oppor-
tunties OF showing what he can do with some
of the English oarsmen. and they will be accom-
modated, as myself want to see Lee do some
racing" One of the last to shake hands with
Rowell was Paddy Fitzgerald who had Jour-
neyed over from Grecnpoint to wish the eN-
champion a safe voyage.

Mothers, Look to Your Girls.
From the Chicago Herald.


The American girl is by no means backward
about coming forward. Even when not absolutely
rude she too often manitests an unthinking per
tlnacity In pushing her way everywhere and at
all times, which resembles nothing so much as
the dsagreeable familiarity Of pet lamb A
few years ago her manner used to excite the
astOnishment and unfavorable differences of Eu-
r0pean communities wherever she might tenn
porarily soiourn. Her cOuntrymen were accus-
toned to excuse her eccentrcities as the play
of childlike and somewhat exuberant ma
ture, unacquainted as yet with the idea of
wrong. Lately her manners seem to have
deteriOrated. She no longer contents herself
with going about by herself at ill-advised and
unladylike hours. and with regarding every
man she meets in the light of an interesting ami
NAL, to be studied contemplated and stared at
She smiles, mods, fiirts with her handkerchief,
and i'll every way appears to desire the notice,
If not the acquaintance. of the opposite sex
She goes upon the streets at dusk and after.
with no protector more potent than compan-
lon OF similar age and greater foolishness. She
is to be seen with young man. eating late sup
pers. or walking slowly in quiet streets at late
hours Of the night. Her chances are bright and
cOquettish. They assume the appearance of
knowledge and desire beyond her presumed ex-
perience.
This is the spectacle upon which mothers and
fathers might proftably bestow their attention.
The modest, gentle, affectionate and lady-like
girl of the olden time has not reproduced her
self in her daughters. Whether this fact is to
be attributed to the fathers influence is a aues-
tiCn which we may safely leave for adjustment
within the family. Our present point is merely
this, that our young girls are not growing up
into lady-like ways and virgin modesty of man
ner. The fact is unquestionable, and plainly
points to defects in the home life and govern
ment which need to be remedied as soon as pos
sible. Mothers, look to your girls.
