A NEW ANEsTHETIC.

student at the University of Heidelberg, in
Germany, while experimenting, recently, with

coaine, which, to his amazement and surprise,
he accidentally discovered that when applied to
the surface of the eye, would make it insensible
to feeling. DR.. Noyes of this city, who was
In Heidelberg at the time heard of the wonder

its operation to his friends i'll the medical pro-

the active principle of cocoa, and is only made
by one firm in Germany. 1t cannot be obtained
In the drug stores in this country An an@s-

which will affect the whole body,
has long been sought by the medi-
cal profession and this new discovery will be
thoroughly tested aud experienced WITH in
hope that it may be found to have an
effect upon other portions Of the body than the
eye
This an8sthetic has been used in few cases
within the past two weeks by one or two eminent
ocuists in this city The material is costly at
present. and as it has not been made in this
country it will be some time before it will be
cheap enough to be used in ordinary practice. 1t
vas used on Monday for the first time at the
Mount Sinai Hospital, woman fifty years of
age was admitted to the hospital last week, who
was totally blind. About two years ago she
noticed a slight cloudiness at times in the left
eye which gradually increased until, at the end
of year, the sight was wholly destroyed The
right eye became affected in similar man
ner, with the same result. Her eyes being sub
;ected to a bright light, an internal examination
was made which revealed the presence of ahard,
mature cataract in the capsule, or membrane
covering the lens in each eye When the light
was before her eyes she could distinguish it from
darkness, but could not see any surrounding OBJ
jects.
On Monday afternoon the woman was taken
to the operating room, and laid fiat upon her
back upon the operating table, in order to retain
the LIQUID in her eye The hospital staff and
number of physicians were present. The at
tending physician had endeavored to procure
small quantity of the new an8sthetic, but could
not get it in the city, and used in the operation
some that he had previously obtained. 1t is

An English Prince.


Thomas Jefferson in Every Other Saturday
The real character of the Prince of Wales is
sometimes matter of controversy, and affords
a problem which is not easy to solve. The 10y
atty of the English is such that even the most
radical are slow to admit anything very wrong
in those who are hedged in by the dignity Of
royal state, and the law Of libel is such the

equal to his ability. has set out the whole House

specimen of humanity as can be found in this
sinful world but even he does not go into GER

How to Live,

BY thine own souls law learn TO live,
And if men thwart thee take no heed,
And il men hate thee have no care;
Sing thou thy song, and do thy deed
Hope thou thy home and pray thy prayer,
And claim no crown they viii not give.
Nor bays they grudse thee for thy hair.
Keep thou thy soulworn, steadfast OATH
And to thy heart be true thy heart;
What thy soul teaches learn to know,
And play out thine appointed part;
And thou shalt reap as thou shalt sow:
Nor helped nor hindered ia thy growth,
To thy full stature thou shalt grow.
Fix on thy future goal thy face,
And let thy feet be lured to stray
Novhither; but be swift to run,
And nowhere tarry by the way;
Until at last the end is won,
And thou mayst look back from thy place
And see thy long days journey done.

The Newspaper Reporter in Heaven.

st. Paul Pioneer Press.
The experiences of a newspaper reporter are
an excellent school for developing some of his
faculties, but are almost fatally opposed to hab-
its of concentrated and connected study. In the
nature of things, he must obtain a smattering of
a good many subjects, and remember a good
many fragments of current history But he is
always essentially an observer, and almost never
a participant in the matters he describes. In
fact it is necessary to his business that he
should remained unconcerned when others are
excited, and judicially bipartisan where others
are biased. Conversing on this subject, once
said Presbyterian doctor of divinity to me at
general assembly: 'You newspaper men must
have queer views of things You are always
looking on and never taking part Your knowl-
edge and habits of thought must be very circum-
ferential and superficial. l suppose, now, your
idea of the day of judgment is that you will
have table off at one side and report the pro-
ceedings for the morning paper"

tury we find these statements;

tury we find these statements:
"Over against the fifteen hundred
murders of the last year we have the
report of barely ninety-three legal ex-
ecutions. Many Of these must have
been cases in which the crime had
been committed during 1882, while
many Of the criminals Of 1883 had
not yet been brought to trial. 1t is
not, however, far from the truth to
say that, while thirteen or fourteen
hundred murders are committed in
this country every year, fewer than a
hundred of the murderers suffer the
extreme penalty Of the law. When
the willful slayer knows that he has
thirteen chances out of fourteen of
escaping the full penalty Of the law,
the deterrent influence Of punishment
cannot be said to be very powerful" "
What inspired the thirteen or four
teen hundred murders annually?
The saloons. What is responsible
for the maladministration of Justice
whereby twelve or thirteen hundred
Of the murderers escape full punish
ment? The saloons, and their varied
ranifying influences. Cincinnati has
paid heavily indeed for its defiance of
law and its maintenance Of system
which makes punishment Of criminals
only farce.

Crime and Justice.

"Cincinnati has encouraged law
breaking-winked at every kind Of
crime, debauched the youth, filled the
streets with drunkards, invited to her
borders every kind Of sin and carousal
and now she is astonished as she be-
holds the work of her hands"
So declares the Farmers Advance,
of Springfield, Ohio, a paper not de-
voted to Temperance or Reform, and
so the more certainly unbiased in its
enunciation. And after this refer
ence to the disgraceful Cincinnati
riots, it proceeds to say:
"a year or so ago the State Of Ohio
passed law closing the saloons on
Sunday. The saloon-keepers of Gin
cinnati in body refused to obey the
law. The City Council passed an or
dinance for packing juries, so that the
conviction Of a saloon-keeper for vio-
lation of the law was impossible
The law was violated by the whole
body of saloon-keepers, and nullifed
by the city. 1t is not a question now
of whether tie law was a wise one or
not, it is simply the fact that the exc
ecution Of the law was openly defed,
not by individuals, but by a whole
class, and that they were sustained in
their continued defiance of the law by
the official action of the city,
Crime is violation Of law. Justice
demands that crime be punished as
the law provides. All the saloon
lists Of Cincinnati were and are crimi-
mails, if the above extract speaks truth !;
and yet it was the saloon class, accor-
ding to all reports, who made loudest
complaint because one murderer was
not adequately sentenced On conviction
and because justice seemed likely to
be cheated, partially, of her dues.
During the two or three days when
Communism appeared rampant, and a
tigerish thirst for blood was manifest
on the part Of that frenxied mob, the
saloons of Cincinnati were open every
hour, stimulating it and goading it
on. What wonder that the rioters
held their way and had to be shot
down like brutes? What possible
show for justice, under conditions
such as our Ohio contemporary sets
forth?

Let The Work Move On!

While the Temperance question is
in no way mixed up with political
matters, while the respective parties
are united and preparing for the great
political struggle Of the presidential
year," let the agitation of the Tenn
perance question as a moral question
be kept up vigorously. The danger
from the horrible liquor-traffic is dai-
ly increasing-new souls are joining
the horrid procession from the dog
gerry to the grave, and new and start
ling features are being developed dai-
ly with regard to this great curse.
In reply to question asked M. c..
Keenan, in Jail a few days ago, would
you be here now, had it not been for
your drinking?" he said, with tears
in his eyes, that he would not-that
he had always advised men against
drinking to drown trouble" yet per-
mitted himself to fall into the very
snare against which he was ever warn
ing others.
And what is true of this case, is
true of almost every other where good
men permit themselves to be persuad-
ed into the dens where liquor is sold.
A minister once said, regarding funer-
al sermons, that he ''did not preach
for the dead so much as to the living" y"
It seems to be a good deal the same
way in Temperance work. The man
who becomes a confirmed sot, seems
to be dead to all reason, and while we
may not be able to awaken in such a
desire for reformation, or a better
way of living, we may point others
to their horrible example, and earn
estly caution them against similar
fate.
A drunken man stopped us on the
street, few days ago, and began his
usual story of physical weakness
which rendered him unfit for work.
Now" said we, "let me give you
some advice"-
"Oh, yes, Advice! Adoice! That's
just the way my friends all talk !!
Everybody wants to give advice!'
We found that the poor fellow was
highly indignant over the fact that
anybody should attempt to advise him
what he ought to do.
He, like others, is reeling along the
road to destruction, a striking exam
pie of the horrors Of the dram-shop.
The doors Of these dens greet him on
almost every street. Their proprie-
tors are watching every opportunity
to get even the last cent Of the most
helpless drunkard. Let the good
work of preaching and teaching Tenn
perance be pushed right along. Let
it be taught in the family circle, in
the School, in the Sabbath School, in
the Church-anywhere, everywhere,
let the people be taught that the dog
gery-keeper is the agent and repre-
sentative Of the Devil, and the enemy
to prosperity and Christianity.

The McHugh murder case, in Gin

case in Jackson. When the panel
was made up for the third trial, John
F. Hetzler was summoned as a juror.
The paper was left at the residence Of
John c. Hetzler When the panel
was called, John G. did not answer to
the name Of John F., yet the Judge
permitted the trial to proceed. De-
PENDANTS attorneys excepted to this,
and took the case to the Supreme
Court, where it is now pending. 1t
may be that the ignorance Of the
Judge upon law matters may cost the
people of Hamilton County the price

The recent unfortunate experiences
of Cincinnati have had an excellent
effect upon the local courts, and all,
from Judges to attorneys, are settling
down to prompt and effective work.
One day last week an attorney named
Buettner attempted one of the old
methods, and this, from one Of the
Cincinnati papers, tells how success
full he was:
During the forenoon, while cross
examining Mrs. Maloy, witness for
the State. Mr.. Buettner attempted to
pry into her domestic relations, appa-
rently to annoy and confuse her. See
ing that she was becoming nervous, a
big brother Of the lady, who looked as
though he was good for two ordinary
men. rose to his feet and took his
stand near her, facing the lawyer.
The lady's confidence in his ability to
protect her seemed unbounded and
her self-possession returned immedi-
ately. She told Buettner that his
question related to matter that was
none Of his business, and wisely con-
cluding that if he continued that line
Of inquiry he would be in danger Of
being pitched out Of the window head
first, Buettner subsidized"
That big brother was right. 1t is
time that attorneys were. taught to
confne themselves to questions bear
ing upon the cause on trial, and the
fellow who stands upon his rights as
an attorney" and attempts to insult
his superiors, ought to be summarily
kicked out Of the court room. And
the Judge who permits it ought to
be kicked out after him.
