The Blind Man.

That a man may 5e blind in more
WAYS than one is conceded by almost
everybody. The man who's physical
ly blind, whose eyes have been de-
stroyed by disease or the sight re-

pitied and he should have the sympa-

good citizen. But the man who is

literature, and the world is full OF it
a man need not go to the expense OF
travelling, he can stay right at his own
6reside and make himself fully ac-
ouainted with everything that is going
on in the world, and thus become a
good Judge of the principles and char
acters which are best calculated to adj
vance the interests of every country
and better the condition of every indl'
yidual. 1t may be well perhaps, to

Smell of Paint.

To get rid of this Objectionable
Odor in a chamber or n living room,
slice a few onions and put them in a
pail Of water in the center Of the
room; close the doors, leave the win
dow open little, and in a few hours
the disagreeable smell will have al
most gone. Another method is to
plunge Il handful Of hay into n pail
full of water, and let it stand over Il
night; this plan is also effectual.
The foregoing have the important
advantage of being simple remedies,
as the necessary materials are always
easily obtainable. Yet another plan,
but it is more complicated. Place a
CRATE of lighted charcoal on a piece
Of flag or slate in the center of the
room, and throw on it a handful or
two Of juniper berries; shut out all
ventilation from the room for twen-
ty-fOur hours. The doors and win
dOws can then be opened, when it
will be found that the nasty, sickly
smell of paint has entirely gone.
The furniture may be left in the
room during the process, and none
of it will be injured. But the best
way to avoid the smell of paint is by
not having the painters in the house.

Mayor Glover said that there were

LOCAL.
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGs.

The City Council of Spokane Falls
held a regular monthly meeting
Monday evening, August 6, 1888.
Present-Mayor Glover and Council
men Cannon, Burch, Gray, Deuber
and Fredenrlch. Absent-G -Grimmer
and Candy.
On motion Mr.. Cannon was chosen
chairman.
The minutes Of the meeting Of
July 18th were read and approved.
Under "unfinished business" the
clerk stated that the bill of l.. Zeigler
& Son had never been acted upon.
Mr.. Gray moved that the bill of
Messrs. Ziegler & Son, amounting to
$3.50, be allowed, supplanting the
motion by the statement that the ac-
count had been permitted to go too
long unpaid already.
The mention of the bill revived
discussions similar to others that
have occurred every time the bill
has been brought up. 1t seems that
portion of the bill is for twenty
three buckets that were procured
from Zeigler's store during the eX-
citement that accompanied the great
fire last January, after which the
said buckets were spirited away.
Also for certain keg of powder,
which it is claimed only a small por-
tiOn was used. Some of the MEM
bers stated that they did not consider
the city responsible for the loss of
individuals on occasions Of this kind,
and several present reported losses
of thefr own which they did not ex-
pect the city to pay for.
1t was moved and seconded that
80 per cent. of the bill be allowed.
There being no second to Mr..
Gray's motion the last motion was
voted upon and carried.
The report of the Finance Com
mittee on the report of the City
Treasurer was called for, but not be-
ing prepared the matter was laid
over until next meeting.
Mr. Gray, as Chairman of the
Street and Alley Committee, stated
that he was not prepared to report
on the grading of First street as the
work was impracticable at the pres
cnt time on account Of the scarcity
of labor.
The following petition asking for
the vacation of Fall street was read:
To the Honorable city Council of
Spokane Fdlls:
The undersigned residents and
property owners in the City of SpO-
kane Falls, w. T., would respectful
ly represent:
lst. That the undersigned ]. n.
Glover, j. J. Browne, \. NJ. Cannon
and II. w. Fairweather are the sole
and only pOOperty-Owners in block
one Q( and two (2) in the town of
Spokane Falls, w. II,
I'd. That a certain strip or alley Of
land generally known as Fall street,
about thirty-One (3D feet Ia width,
situ1ted between blocks one l) and
two (2) in the town of Spokane Falls,
is not and never has heen used by
the public, or any portion thereof as
n public highway or thOrOughfare
Sd. That the interests of your petit
tiOners would be much enhanced if
said Fall street would be vacated.
4th. That the vacation of said
street would work no injury or in
convenience to the public or to any
individual.
Wherefore, we petition your hon
Ordble body that said Fall street, to-
wit: strip Of land about thirty-One
(3D feet in width, situated between
blocks one Q) and two (2), in the
town of Spokane Falls, be vacated.

Mayor Glover explained the posi-
tiOn Of the street at some length,
which could never exist only on a
map. 1t commenced at the lower
corner of CannOn's mill, running be-
tween blocks one and two, across the
channel Of the river to Havermale's s
little island, and was unavailable for
any purpose whatsoever. Atpresent
it is covered with slabs, and never
could be utilized.
Mr.. Cannon said that the street
does not appear on the present map
of the City Of Spokane Falls. 1t was
laid out by the surveyor who laid
out the original town and might pos
Silly be on record in Stevens county.
For public purposes it is perfectly
useless.
On motion of DR.. Burch the petit
tiOn was referred to the Committee
on Streets and Alleys with instruc-
tiOns to report at the next meeting.
The bill Of the Spokane Falls RE-
VIEW, for publishing ordinances and
job printing, slG.5O, was, on motion,
ordered paid.
The bill of Mcdonald & Pound, for
hauling away a dead horse, S5, was
read.
The Marshal explained that the
carcass had been complained of and
that lie had ordered it removed. 1t
had been dragged a long distance
away, as far as the old ferry. He
did not know who owned the ami
NAL.
Mayor Glover stated that it would
be advisable to establish a public
pound, where estray animals could
he kept, and have the keeper o. the
same see to the removal of dead ami
mails. He thought that dead stock
should be buried and not dumped
about the country to polute the at
mosphere. Considerable complaint
had reached his ears about the stencil
arising from decomposing carcasses.
Marshal Hyde stated that he had
made no contract with Mcdonald &
Pound. They had used six horses in
dragging off the nuisance, and had
pulled it a considerable distance. At
one time he had had a body removed
for 81, and at another the party had
brought in a bill for s2 for doing the
same kind.of work and the council
had reduced the bill to 81.
The bill was referred to the Finance
Committee.
The bill of the Chroaicle amount
ing to $40 for advertising was, on
motion, allowed.
A bill Of Mcdonald & Pound for
hauling lumber, sl.5O, was read.
The Marshal had ordered no haul
ing and several members remarked
that It was done for the 4th of July
celebration, and as there was money
10 meet oil those bills, did not think
the city was responsible for the in
iebie iuess.

Why Is 1t

There are some persons who plead. IN.
excuse for their own irreligion, that in
secular affairs religious men are no bet
ter than other people. If they are not,
they ought to be. I believe that, as a.
rule, they are. If not, how is it that
when a religious banker has been guilty
of using securities entrusted to his keep
ing, the whole country rings with his
crime, and there is so much sneering
and triumph at the expense of religion
itself? We do not make such q stir
when a man who makes no profession
of faith in Christ is guilty of the same
thing. We do not put articles in our
religious newspapers, headed in large
capitals: ''Doings of an I%rreligious
Banker" How is it if a minister Is be-
trayed into grevious sin the scandal of
his fall is kept alive for years? If an
other man commits the same ofense it
is soon forgotten. Hundreds of men
were hung for forgery in the last cent
ury; I doubt whether ten of my read
ers could tell me the name of any one
of them except DR.. Dodd. OF the peo-
pie that fill our jails. that are sent to

Jacobs Well.

This is one of the few spots in Pales-
tine whereof all tradition concurs as to
its identity. This makes it venerable.
And now we are looking down into the
well at which Joseph so often watered
the flock of his father Jacob. The top
has been partly arched over, covering
q little space around what we should
call the "curb" of the well. The
dragomen gave me his strong arm and
let me yer this upper and outer rim
down a few feet to a point where I got
a nearer view of the depth below. Ex-
plorers who have measured it have
found it over a hundred feet deep, but
a part of this has been filed up by the
stones cast into it.
But how came Jacob to dig such q
well? is q question often asked. He
was close to the Vale of Shecham, which
is full of streams. Whatneed of boring
a hundred feet through a solid rock to
find what amile or two distant was rum
ming away in exhaustless abundance?
The answer is that neighbors are not
always friends; that the inhabitants of
the towns and the shepherds of the
plains had little to do with each other,
and even might be in open feud. In
the time of Christ "the Jews had
ne dealings with the Samaritans,"
and seventeen hundred years before
the progenitor of the Hebrew C
may have been to them a stranger and
an alien. The people Of Shecham
might be friendly to day and enemies
tomorrow; and though they might
have water flowing through their city,
they might at any moment shut it off
from him. With all his tlocks and
herds, he could not be dependent on
such an uncertain supply. And 81 he
dug his well, "and drank thereof him.

The women of Samaria, who came here
to draw water, had probably been out

But the chief interest of this spot is
that One greater than Jacob or Joseph
has been here. On this very ground;
sitting where we now sit, our Savior
sat, and talked with that women of
Samaria, revealing to her astonished
eyes that in the worship Of
God the place matters little; that
"neither in the mountain" look
ing up to Gerizim which rose above
him, "nor yet at Jerusalem" shall
men "worship the Father" for that

Him must worship in spirit and IN

Curious Recovery Of Eye.Sight.

Captain Sam S. Thompson, the popu-
Young Captain of the Birmingham
iAcs, who visited Mobile during the
1campment of the Second Regiment,
ill be remembered by many citizens.
o one of the many who made his &C
%laintance here imagined that one of
is clear blue eyes was perfectly blind,
BIT such was indeed the fact. A stran-
er fact than this remains to be told.
bout seven years ago Captain Thomp-
pm, who is the pattern-maker at the
lynn Iron Works, Birmingham, re-
pived a blow on the left eye, which
thoroughly destroyed the sight of that
rb, although it did not change its out
lard appearance. Last Thursday,
Fhile at work, Captain Thompson no.
iced that he i%nvoluntarily shrank or
edged as he moved past objects on his
ft-hand side. This was a novel ex-
kperience, and he wondered why he
hould be so peculiarly nervous.
resently, however, he had occasion to
lace his hand to his right eye to rub
ome dust from it. At length the truth
his case was revealed to him, for he
lscovered as he closed his right eye
hat the old-time darkness did not sur
ound him. He could see with the eye
Fhlch had been totally blind for seven
ears. The sight is not as perfect as
hat of the right, but sufficiently clear to
lsllnguish objects wen at some dis
Pnce, although not distinctly. In re-
srd to this phenomenon the physicians
Birmingham say that the sight was
Ibscured by a coagulated particle of
!!ood under the iris, which has at length
lssolved. The sight will doubtless
ontlnue to improve.-Mobsle (Ala.)
