Down with the Blind Bride.

The american Farmer, in speaking,
ag2inst the use of the blind bride, says :
''We know not who invented this instr.;-
ment of horse torture, but we know that
he did not understand the anatomy and
physiology of the eye of horse. Hu-
man vision is binocular-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 the horse are
placed on the side of the head and the
axis of each eye 10 nearly at rigl.s
angles with the longitudinal line of the
be y, SO that it is Impossible q. it the
sane object can be distinctly seen wit
two eyes. Now, by binding the eyel in
the direction in which it was intended
in its construction that it 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 a.
greater or less extent, impair vision, if
not entirely destroy it. The object fo.
which the blind bride is used is not ac-
complished by it. A 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 surpris-
ing to observe with what uenacitv 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 blind
bride on, and if you ask the owner to
explain its benefits, or why he uses it,
he will be utterly unable to give ra-
tional answer We are not surprised
that draught horses are subject to dis
eased eyes-we wonder that they are
not all blind.'i

The Pail Mall Gazette relates that the
onjuror Hermann, who has been In
South America, during performance
at the house of the Governor Of Monte
video, determined to mystify three half
savage Patagonians who were present.
He stupified the first by taking an
orange from his nose, he astonished the
second by producing series of piastres
from his hair, but the third seemed
overpowered with terror as he extracted
from his nose living rat Uttering a
cry of fright the Patagonians with
drew, and the company congratulated
Hermann upon his success. While re-
ceiving their congratulations he sudden
ly discovered that his watch was gone,
and that his chain had gone with it.
His purse, too, had disappeared, and his
eye-glass and pocket -handkerchief.
Half an hour afterwards the chief of
the Patagonians returned, bringing the
missing articles. The savage from
whose nose Hermann had extracted the
rat had emptied the conjuror's pockets
at the momert when he was pretending
to be overcome with terror at the unex-
pected apparition of the rat from tho
tip of his nose.

This Maelstrom-This Wall Street

New York is an iron-fronted, and
iron-hearted town. Typical of New
York entirely is its screaming, screech-
ing, swift and very crooked elevated
railroad. Iron. All iron. Iron and
paint.
OF course if commerce and money
getting-the saving of time for these
two purposes-is the aim and end OF
life. this monstrosity ought to be called
success. For it certainly saves time
Frustrated themselves in arduous and
all-day battle with the many devices
and schemes and gambling games OF
Wall street.
But when we consider that these same
men never, from one years end to the
other, grow so much as one grain OF
wheat or manufacture so much as one
lucifer match, we doubt if they deserve
rest.
Let us stick pin here and reflect a
moment on this fact! This maelstrom-
this Wall street-that draws to itself the
brain of the land, that engages in cease
less battle the best forces of the repub-
lie, never gives back in return one bis
cult to be eaten, one garment to be
worn, or one line to be read. Nothing!
For the thousands of lives spent there
Wall street gives back to us annually
many insane and utterly wrecked men.
We have, as the two or three monstros-
ties: Goulds, Vanderbilts, etc. We have.
set opposite these. many maniacs, many
a ghastly corpse, pistol in hand, leaning
against wall in the dark; 10000 ruined
homes.
If so short time has wrought all this,
what may one not expect in the course
of century? Clearly something must
be done. At this rate some coarse and
cruel man will get hold of money enough
to not only ''damn the public" but the
republic.
1t occurs to me that stock-gambling
must be made odious; counted low and
vulgar as cards; despised and left to the
habitues of the prize-ring, the pool-den,
and the faro table.
Something certainly must be DONE
For state it as cold, frozen truth that

Children of Divorced Parents.

An interesting question as to the
claimed right of divorced mother to
see her children after their custody has
been awarded to the father has Just
been decided by the general term of the
Supreme Court in this city. The divorce
had been obtained by the husband, who
refused to permit the wife to visit their
child, which was living with him. The
mother petitioned the court for leave to
see the child, and the special term re-
ferred the matter to referee to aseer-
tain whether the petitioner was leading
proper life. The general term reverses
this order. and holds that whether tho
petitioner was or was not leading
proper life after the separation ''the
court has no jurisdiction on the petition
of the wife after final judgment to enjoin
upon the husband or the children the
company of the woman who has vio-
lated her marriage vows" 1t explains
that when the marital relation is ended
by decree of divorce the subsequent
relation of the parties to each other is
the same as though they had never been
married. "When the decree of divorce
is granted upon the application of the
husband for the marital. infdelitv of his
wife, says the opinion, '.she ceases to
have any right to the care, control, ed
ucation or companionship of the minor
children" This is so whether the final
decree awards the custody of the child
rem to. the father or is silent on that sub
ject. IN. Y. Herald.

Vinerar for the Siok-Room.

There is French legend that during
the plague in Marseilles band of rob-
bers plundered the dying and the dead
without injury to themselves. They
were imprisoned, tried and condemned
to die, but were pardoned on condition
of disclosing the secret whereby they
could ransack houses infected with the
terrible scourge. They gave the follow
ing recipe, which makes delicious
and refreshing wash for tie sick-room:
Take of rosemary, wormwood, layen-
der, rue, sage and mint. large handful
of each. Place in stone jar. and turn
over it one gallon of strong, clear vim

fire for four days, then strain, and add
one ounce of powdered camphor gum.
Bottle and keep tightly corked. 1t is
very Automatic, cooling and refreshing

The Troubles of Prize Beauties.

There was quite sensation the other
day nc the contest of beauty in Bunnell's
museum at New York. A young man
engaged to be married to one of the
beauties went to the museum, and after
a very animated discussion with the
young woman, finally persuaded her to
leave the place. The manager was sit
ting in his office when a tall, gaunt wo-
man about 40 years of age pushed her
way past the ticket collector and enter
ed the museum. II want my daughter"
she said. ..Where is my daughterP"-
She would not listen, but pushing her
way upstairs to where the contestants
were, looked for her daughter. She
finally discovered her in No. 81, and, in
a voice that startled the beauties, the
euriosities. and the visitors, exclaimed:
'.Anastasia Vickers, leave this place i'm
mediately! Come, make a novel, No.
50 recognized her mother, but she was
so frightened that it was some time be-
fore she could muster courage to speak.
Then she began: ''Why, mother -

Bob's Religion.

Bob IngersolPs religion was finely il
lustrated in Springfield. ILL.,, while in
that city TO deliver his lecture. Capt.
Tom Kidd, the genial, good-natured and
Jolly editor of the Monitor, was for
many years crier of the courts in which
Bob and other lawyers had practiced.
and perhaps no man in Illinois has
snapped as many stories or was a
warmer friend and admirer of Lincoln
than the captain. He has the misfor-
ture, however, Of being, like many 9TH
er editors, poor, although the proprietor

captain delivers lecture which is sway
ahead of anything yet delivered on Lin
coin, because it gives Lincoln Just as he
was in the court room, and before be-
coming president. The title of the leo
ture is Lawyer Lincoln by the Crier OF
the Court" Vending and others who
have heard it say it is full of merit, and
delivered in Capt. Tom Kidd's style
and he is rare character-one of the
most entertaining. Well, when Bob
went to Springfield. knowing Tom well,
he sent for him to come to his room,
when he asked the author of the lecture
to read it in manuscript. Tom did 80,
and Col. Ingersoll told bim that the
world must hear that lecture, and made
the arrangement with Kidd to have
Lawyer Lincoln by the Crier of the
Court delivered IN Washington. Bob
says he don't propose that an old friend
and court officer, who heard him
make the first argument he ever made
before the supreme and federal courts

style of any lawyer he ever heard make
speech-keep hid from the public
when he could help. This is the kind
of christian Col. Bob is, and while Kidd
is not what the world calls infidel. Bob
has shown a christian spirit in develop
ing what will prove an excellent lesson
for the young men of the land to hear
something of Lincoln as lawyer.
