TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
ecessisaiing Surgical Operation-Lov-
ing Isiher Attempts TO Take Pair
of Shears from Her Child.
PARENTS BE CAREFUL.

Domestic accidents common to women, and
some of them are very serious. Mrs. Warner, of
South Rondout, Ulster Co., N. Y, some weeks ago
attempted to take from her child a pair of shears
with which it was playing A slight. struggle en-
sued in which the point Of the shears entered Mrs.
Warmers left eye, entirely destroying the sight.
Her family physician dill what he could, but intense
ly painful Inflammation arose, which, by sympathy
threatened the LOGS of the other eye Total Blind
ness to a woman having the care CT a household is
an irr etrievable calamity, In this strait Mrs. W.
applied to the we'll known and skillful Surgeon, DR..
Daoid Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y, who removed
the injured eye by very successful operation, set
ting aside all danger of further harm to the sight of
the other eye, but. owing to pain and mental dis
tress, her system needed tonic and restorative
medicine. To do this work the Doctor prescribed
''Kennedys Fayorite Remedy which sustained its
reputation and laid sure foundation of health.
DR. Kennedy's ssFayorite Remedy''
removes all impurities from the blood, regu-
lates the Liver and Kidneys. Cures Constipation,
and all diseases and weaknesses peculiar to Fe
males. 1t is for sale by all our druggists at ONE
DOLLAR a bottle. feb25eod&w1m

The Result yesterday.

IL was unfortunate that so many sound Re
publicans were raisled by clafnor originating
in Democratic sources into voting for a sep
arate candidate for Mayor and thus prevent.
ing Mr.. Libby's election, by the majority
which is required. 1t might have been sup
posed that Mr.. Libby's record Of conspicuous
efficiency in enforcing the prohibitory law
while he was prosecuting attorney would be
a sufIicientguarante of his faithful and im-
partial discharge of all duties incumbent
upon him in any official position to which
he might be called, whatever his views as to
the expediency of the laws. If he were a
candidate for the legislature, where he
could vote to make or unmake laws, his
opinions respecting the expediency of the
prohibitory law might be proper snbiect of
scrutiny. But as a candidate for merely
executive office, his record of efficient SER
vice in the past ought certainly to count as
sufficient justification for the support of the
most earnest temperance men. 1t is to be
hoped that those who failed to support the
candidate of their party yesterday will re-
Mr.. Libby on the second trial. Everybody
must admit that on grounds of character, at
tainments and experience he is an eminent
ly fit candidate, and surely these high quail
ties ought not to be ignored because of his
personal opinions on the subject of law
which he cannot modify or abrogate in the
position for which he is named. n
Apart from this sad business of failure
TO elect the Mayor on first trial, the result is
eminently satisfactory and encouraging. AS
were given by Republicans we may add his
vote to Libby's to indicate the total Repub-
lican votes, viz, 1902. Adding to Deerings
vote all The scattering we have 23O6, showing
Republican majority Of S96, which is a very
nearly accurate estimate and indicates a de-
cided gain in Republican strength since last
year. An examination of the votes for AID
ermen and Councilmen justifies this esti-,
mate. So we send greetings to our neighbor
cities of Maine with assurance that Portland
remains staunch Republican town, despite
the mishap respecting the Mayoralty which
the Republicans propose to correct on the
next trial. Even if there should he failure
to elect then, the choice goes to the City
Council which Is strongly Republican. So
that Mr.. LIBBY viii be oufE Mayor in
any event. But it is better to give him
good majority at the polls, and to this task
the Republicans Should at once address
themselves with zeal and energy.
The Portland daily press., 1882-03-07

Mr.. MATTHEW ARNOLD writes to the Pail
Mall Gazette: 81 have just been reading
the vigorous article in yesterdays Daily Tel
egraph about the French gag with which
the government are going to stop free debate
in England. notice that the racy and lido
matte writer does not say bailton. May
ask why we all persist in saying clotare? Is
it for the pleasure of describing the circum-
flex when we write the word, and of pro-
nouncing the French u when we speak
it? Or is it from the mere English love of
whatever is complicated and not simple?
We all say enclosure, disclosure, every day
of our lives. But closure itself. also, in its
uncompounded state, is a perfectly good
English word-a word used by Chaucer,
Shakespeare, Boyle, Atterbury and Pope"
The Portland daily press., 1882-03-07

THERE are already half a dozen bridges
over the Mississippi, and there are at least
three bills before Congress for additional
ones. One of these, granting the privilege
for bridge over the river at Memphis, has
already passed, while another, permitting
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad
company to bridge the river at Keithsbnrg,
ILL.,, has been favorably reported by the COM
mittee on commerce, but is opposed by the
vessel interests on the ground that the bill is
for drawbridge, which would seriously in
terfere with navigation. 1t is claimed that
if Congress permits bridge to be built there
at all, it should be of sufficient height to al
low the passage of vessels underneath.

NOTWITHSTANDING the great falling-off in
the cotton crop of 1881, it is morally certain
that the product of 1882 will be smaller yet.
1t is now believed in New Orleans that the
reduction from last years yield will be fully
100000 bales. 1t is understood that in the
upland region of Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi, the farmers have determined to
give more attention to food crops and less to
cotton-to abandon, in other words, the old
notion of making cotton their only crop-and
if this very sensible plan is carried out OF
course it will result in large decrease in
the acreage devoted to cotton. The Missis-
sippi floods will, under the most favorable
circumstances, prevent crop from being
raised on thousands and thousands of acres
of the most productive cotton land in the
South.

THE heavy failures which are from time
to time reported in various parts OF the
country should be a warning to go slow.
The tendency of the present abundance Of
currency is to send prices upward. But at
some point they must pause and recede.
When this going backward occurs the pinch
will come. 1t is the highest wisdom to pre-
vent the necessity of going backward. For
this reason every effort to initiate the cur
rency either with silver certificates or any
thing else, should be watched with suspicion
and stoutly resisted.

EGYPT, says the correspondent ofs the
London World, is in the hands of one man,
Arab Bey, the Minister of War. The new
Ministry is formed by him and by him only.
The Egyptian Cabinet is ruled by Arab Bey
with more absolute authority than even
Prince Bismark exercises. The people treat
him with superstitious respect.

AN Englishman died recently in New Bed
ford leaving small property. His brother
living in Eadfield, England, was anxious to
know the contents of the will, and wrote to
President Arthur asking him to mail copy
of it and enclosing 24d. for expenses. The
President sent the request to Governor Long
and the Governor forwarded it to the regis
ter of probate for Bristol county by a sena-
tor from Bristol. A copy of the instrument
was made, and now the machinery bywhich
it was obtained has been reversed and
doubtless ere long the Englishman will be
in possession of the information which he
desires.
