An Extraordinary Eye.

There was an occurrence in Northern
Liberties yesterday which beyond doubt
has no parallel in any known history.
While John Daniel, or Hughes. negro,
better known as '.Pop-Eyed-John." was
walking along the street, his right eye
popped out and fell down Oh his cheek.
1t hung there for several minutes, and
John was frightened out of his wits for
fear he had lost his eye. He laid upon
the ground and gave vent to his grief
in loud groans, and while he was strug-
Cling around the eye quietly resumed
its position in the socket, and to John S
great surprise and happiness he could
see from it as well as ever. The gen

us says that it was witnessed by seven

The Dollar Of 1904.

In the recent sales at Bangs, in New
York, the most valuable specimen sold
was silver dollar of 1904, which
brought $40. 1t was a well-preserved
| coin, and was pronounced genuine by
experts. There has been some discus
sion among collectors as to the 1904
dollar recently, anG it has been asserted
that some of the coins bearing that date
and priced by proud owners had been
altered by clever manipulation from
earlier dates. 1t was said also that alb
solute counterfeits had been placed in
the hands of collectors by designing
persons, and that the really genuine
1s04's could be counted on the fingers
of one hand. The dollar of 1904 weighed
412I grains. The coin that was sold in
New York belonged to Baltimore col
lector, and has been for some time in
the hands of q well-known Philadel-
phia numiSmatist. 1t is said to have
come from Vienna, but how it found its
way there no one is able to tell. 1t is
in splendid condition. The price ex-
pected was at least ST.. 800 (somc pre-
dicted $4,000. but it is probable that
recent publications relative to restrikes
and alterations weakened to some eX-
tent the confidence of collectors Ac-
cording to the best authorities there was
more than one restrike of the 1904 dol

a collector said last night that. iudg-
ing from the number of 1904 dollars
that are coming TO light, they can not
be so rare as some people think. He
says that if they turn up as rapidly in
the next ten years as they have in the
last ten the 1904 dollar will cease to be
the rarest of American dollars and the
1858 will take its place. The latter
never got into circulation and the mint
books are silent as to silver dollars in
that year, but eighty or ninety proof
coins were struck and most of these are
in the hands of collectors. They sold
ten years ago for from $40 to Sl5 each,
but now they bring $50 or $40 and a
proof set of the silver coinage of that
year is worth from $40 to $5O.-Phla-

Sale of a Famous Trotting Stallion.

The Geographic announcement made a
few days ago that the famous trotting STALL
ion, Black Cloud, whose brilliant perform
ance upon the turf last season won the as
constituent and admiration of horsemen,
had been sold by the estate of the late An
drew Cutter, of Parma, Mich, to NJ. ".
Wagner, Esq, Mayor of Marshall, Mich,
has proven to DE correct. Black Cloud is
a marvel of beauty, and is perhaps one of
the handsomest horses in a race that ever
trotted upon the American turf, having a
record of 2:174. He is large, finely pro-
portioned, and I" as black as black can be !"
His hair is as fine as silk, and as soft as
velvet, his name and tail are long and
heavy, the latter almost touching the
ground. The noble animal passes into ex-
cellent hands. The purchaser, Mayor NJ.
V. Wagner, is not only an admirer and low
er of good horses, but is also a first-class
business man, of energy and enterprise.
He is a large manufacturer, and is the bust
ness manager of the Voltaic Belt Co., of
Marshall, Mich, whose appliances have
been so persistently and skillfully adver-
tised. Black Cloud has been placed in the
hands of noted Chicago driver, who will
campaign him this season.
