Do Improvements Improve in Running
Logs.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.1
PORTAGE, Dec. PA law case of unus-
ual importance to the lumber men of
the Wisconsin river was decided to-day in
the Columbia county circuit court, Judge
Stewart presiding. The case was that of
the Wisconsin River improvement COM
pany VS.. John Woodlock. The suit
was brought to recover tolls on
100000 feet of lumber for
passing through the improvements
made by the company at the various dams,
canons, falls and rapids on the river above
Stevens Point, andspayment was resisted
on the ground that the tolls were excessive
and that the works which had been con-
structed at Grandfather falls were
damage to the running
of logs, rather than help,
and that the improvements were
the occasion of the big log jam which &C.
CURED at that point in the spring of 1881.
Damages were asked for by defendants.
The jury after short deliberation re-
turned verdict giving the plaintiff toll
of 81 cents instead of ~ cents, the maxi
mum amount allowed by the charter, and
refusing to allow the damages claimed.
The suit brought large number of the
prominent lumbermen on the river to tes-
tify in the case. Hon. G. W. Cate, of Stew
ems Point, ably conducted the case for the

plaintiffs, but the defendants were repre-.
sented by Messrs. Hetzel & Canon, of Mer-
rill, S. M. Penny, of Madison, and Hon.
G. w. Hazelton, of Milwaukee. 1t is
claimed by some members
of the improvement company
that the real purpose of the suit was to
force reorganization of the company by
which the system of improvement was to
be extended, other parties taken in and
the stock of the old company put into the
new organization at 80 cents on the dollar.

MORE REPUBLICAN, GRIEF.
Danger That Updegraff's Successor VIII be
Democrat.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.1
COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 21.-The Republicans
here are considerably alarmed for the re-
suit in the Seventeenth congressional dis
trict. Ross Alexander, who developed SO
much strength last October, has been nom
mated for both the short and long terms
by the Democrats, and the Republicans,
no doubt, will have another
troublesome convention next Tuesday.
1t is learned that Updegraff7s friends have
put on their war paint and propose to get
even with those who made so much trouble
last fall. 1t is said DR.. UpdegraH would
be still alive were it not for the fight made
en- him; that he was literally worried to
death. The latest information is
ID the effect thai the Updegraff
following propose to combine
on two men so as to give them two coun-
ties sure and the rest to skirmish with.
At the same time. beside the Republican
disaffection and the prospects for intensi
flying it next week, there is fear that not
half the Republican vote, which consists
mostly of the farmers, can be gotten out.
On the other hand, it is said
that the heaviest Democratic vote comes
from the miningtowns. and along the river
points, such as Martins Ferry, Bridgeport
AID Belair. If the Democrats carry the
district, and Campbell and Wallace are
successful in their contests, the next Ohio
delegation in congress will stand II Demo-
Gratis to Republicans, as compared to Is
Republicans and $ Democrats in the pres
ent congress.

Suit to Forfeit Property.

PH1LA DELPH1A, Dec. 21.-The select
council of this city at their meeting to-day
passed resolution of instruction to the
city solicitor, directing the instituting of
proceedings to forfeit to the city the prop
erty and privileges of the late American
Union Telegraph company in Philadel-
pnia. The proceeding is based upon the
bond of the American Union Telegraph
company, which it was required to give to
the city of Philadelphia before it was al
lowed to erect its lines in that city, condi-
tional that it would not consolidate with
any other telegraph company. and which
bond has been forfeited by the consolida-
ton between that company and the West
ern Union Telegraph company effected by
the agreements recently laid before the
attorney general.

The Rising of the Nile,

Measuring from the cdtaracts of
Sayene, where the Nile enters Upper
Egypt from Nubia, to the most north
ernly points of the Delta, or Lower
Egypt, there are about six hundred
miles of country, the settled popula-
tion of which is peculiarly dependent
upon the great river for very exist
ence, and every year swayed by hopes
or fears as the waters of the stream are
sufficient or scarce or too abundant.
The welfare of the Egyptians is, in
truth, intimately bound up with the
annual recurrence of a natural phe-
nomenon known as the Rising Of the
Nile" The river, issuing from val
ley few miles north of Cairo, enters
the low, wide plain, which, from its
resemblance to the fourth letter Of the
Greek alphabet, received from that
people the name of the Delta. The
stream divides itself into two branches,
that Of Rosetta, or old Canopic, and that
of Damiat, or Phatnitic. The river at
Rosetta is about 1900 feet wide, and at
Damiat nearly 800 feet. The rise Of
the Nile, occasioned by the periodical
Ittllio VI CGllIIdl AlIlCd, DtSlllS III lHe,
about the summer solstice, and con-
tinues to increase until September,
overlooking the lowlands along its
course. The Delta then looks like an
immense marsh, interspersed with ni1-
merous islands, with villages, towns
and trees Just above the water. Should
the Nile rise few feet above its GUS
tomary elevation, the humiliation
sweeps away the mud-built cottages of
the fellaheen, browns the cattle, and
involves the whole population in ruin.
Again, should it fall short of the or
dinary height, bad crops and dearth
are the consequences. The inunda-
tioD5 having remained stationary for
few days, begin to subside, and about
the end of November most of the fields
are left dry and covered with fresh
layer of rich brown slime; this is the
time that the lands are put under cul-
tivation. During the winter in Eng
land, which is the spring in Egypt, the
Dyi,a, us well as the valley of the
Nile, looks like delightful garden
smiling with verdure and blossom.

Those who have read Wilkie Col
Inns "Poor Miss iTinch,' says the
Rochester On. " Post, will feadily
recall Lucilla's Observation-Disclosures
from birth, caused by cataracts. DIR.
Crosses fallacies regarding the strug
giles of sight to assert itself in persons
who have been blind for life, the illu-
sions OF the patient regarding dis
tance, color, forms, etc, will be re-
membered. Lucilla could not, from
restored sight, tell whether an object
held before her was cube or a globe;
whether a handkerchief was white or
colored. She had great horror Of
anything dark; that is, when she was
blind. In her imagination Lucilla's
answers to questions We're pat to the
theories of "Surgeon Optic Crosse"
and he was pleased at the result of
his skill. There is in Rochester, at
the city hospital at the present time,
the counterpart of Lucilla in all
the realities, but not in the "surgeon
Optic" his fallacies and theories. The
subject is Emma Waterstraath, twelve
years Of age. She was born in LOets,
Pomerania, Germany. On the Sth of
April, this year, she came to Rochester
and resided with her aunt ON Hoelzer
street, her father and mother being
dead. Two or three months of this time
she passed in the blind asylum at Ba-
tavia, where she learned to read raised
letters by the touch. Her trouble was
cOngenital cataract, and from birth she
could only see so as to distinguish be-
tween day and night. When taken to
the city hospital, the eminent oculist
of the institution, after an eXamina-
tion, said her sight could be restored,
and three weeks ago he operated on
the left eye, producing a rift in the
cloud" which had shut out
her sight for so many years.
The writer, interested in see
ing her when the first test was
made, visited the hospital, and when
the bandage was removed by the sur
geOn she told him she could see his
fingers. A vase of flowers was held
before her, and she said they were flow
ers and one of them red. She told what
other objects were, and their form.
Cdr. Crosses" confirmed theories,
"Poor Miss Finch's" verification of
the "surgeon optics fallacies, were
disproved, dispelled by this practical
illustration, this fact. Emma's sight
continues to improve, as the "rift in
the cloud" widens from absorption.
No further operation may be necessary,
and there is no question that in the
good time she may see as others see,"
The patient sees and learns so gradu-
ally, the same as child learning to
read, that the mind is educated to
forms and distances easily. Cataract
patients never see instantly after the
operation.

Garibaldi'S Character.

The battle of the VolturnO, the
flight Of the king and the siege of
Capna followed in rapid succession.
During the whole of that stirring time
l wds at Naples. l saw the dictator
Of the Two Sicilies ut the summit of
his power and popularity, and L saw
how he used both. 1t was commonly
said that for fortnight after he en-
tered Naples no crimes were committed.
l stayed long enough to see the place
become sink Of iniquity once more.
After the battle Of the VolturnO there
was little to do except to get into mis-
chief, and plenty Of mischief there was
-duels, assassinations, gambling and
worse. But What a spell seemed to fall
upon the city whenever Garibaldi was
in it The nights were as a rule noisy
and uprOarious. One night he sent
out word that he could not sleep, and
you might have heard a pin drop on
the pavement all through that night.
The women brought him their chill
dren to bless, he stroked their heads
he rebuked their superstition-but he
could never say an umzind word to
them. His care for the wounded was
unwearied. lie went daily through
the military hospitals at Caserta.
! The doctors said his visits did more
for the men than all the physic. They
declared his touch and very look were
full OF healing; the dying heads were
lifted to see him pass, and wounded
men leaped from their couches to seize
his hand.
He was just the same on the battle
feld-he always went over it himself
to be sure that all the living had been
taken up and all the wounded cared
for. This is how he won the great and
simple love of his soldiers. His own
soul was great and simple.
remember his life at Naples-the
talk of the town. He would live in no
palace-he would not even be called
your eXcellency, although supreme
ruler of both Sicilies. He was lodged
up in a little attic at the top of the
Toledo. He said he liked to be high
up to breathe the air.
At Palermo the costliest wines and
Viands We're prepared for him he
lived on beans, potatoes and the COM
mon wine of the country; he spent on
an average eight francs day, and
never had anything in his pocket; any
one who asked him for money got it.
He had simple method. He borrowed
OF whoever happened to be near him,
and gave it away. The people whom
he borrowed from generally got paid;
but he never spent anything upon, or
asked anything for, himself. One week
he was the irresponsible controller of
millions, and the next week. hset sail
