THE DAWSON TRAGEDY.
Pickett Shot Down without a Word
An Old Grudge the Cause.

Pickett Shot Down without a Word
An Old Grudge the Cause.
DAWSON, GA, Oct. 27.-The following
contains some additional particulars of
the Cheves-Pickett affair: George W.
Cheves, editor of the Dawson Journal,
who shot and instantly killed Capt. S. H..
Pickett, prominent lawyer, here, Satur-
day afternoon, about 4 O'Clock, was under
the influence of whisky at the time and
had been for several days. He had re-
peatedly threatened the life of Pickett,
but no one had paid any attention to the
threats. Only a few minutes before the
killing CheYes sent a friend to Pickett and
requested him to say to him that he de-
sired to make friends, but before the
friend returned Cheves armed himself
with a dOuble-baTreled shot gun, walked
across the street and discharged the con-
tents of both barrels into the body
of Pickett, without any words
or prOvOcatiOn, the wounds
taking effect below the left nipple and
passing through the heart. Pickett died
without a word or scarcely a struggle.
Cheves was Immediately arrested and
lodged in jail, where he now awaits his
tate at the hands of the law. They were
both prominent gentlemen, and the hOr-
rible tragedy was a great shock to the
entire community. Public sentiment is
greatly against CheVes. The trouble
grew out of an old political grudge.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Lottie Francis,
the 13-year-Old daughter Oh William j.
Francis, of Jamaica, l.. l., tried to commit
suicide to-day by cutting her throat. She
cut terrible cash, but her act was dis

for alleged alienation of his wife's affec-
tions, and testified that his wife had con-
fessed that her father-in-law was the
father of her six children, but the jury
rendered a verdict in favor of the de-
fendant. The young girls attempt was
the result of her modification at the scan

The Causes of Deteriorated Eye

SlS hbs
The causes to which this deterioration
Of eyesight has been attributed are al
legged to be cross-lights from opposite
windows, light shining directly On the
face, insufficient light, small types. and
to the position of the desk, forcing the
scholar to bend over and bring the eyes
too close to the book or writing paper,
etc.
But were all these defects remedied,
the integrity of the eye would not be
restored nor its deterioration prevented.
The chief causes of the evil would still
remain. These are the colors of the pa
per and ink. White paper and black ink
! are running the eyesight OF all reading
nations. The rays of the SUM- says
Lord Bacon, fare reflected by a white
body, and are absorbed bya black one"
No one dissents from this opinion; but,
despite these indi atoms OF Nature and
Of philosophy, we print our books and
write our letters in direct opposition to
the suggestions of optical science.
When we read a book printed in the
existing mode we do not see the letters,

The shapes teach the Tetina, but they
are not received by q spontaneous, d.
rect action of that organ. The white
surface OF the paper is reflected, but the
letters are detected only by a discrim-
NATIVE effort of the optic nerves This
effort annoys the nerves, and, when
long continued, exhausts their sus-
ceptlbility. The human eye cannot
long sustain the broad glare of white
surface without injury. The author OF
Spanish Vistas," in Harper's Magazine,
says of Cartagena that ''blind people
seem to be numerous there, a fact which
may be owing to the excessive dazzle
of the sunlight and the absence OF YER
dure." Mr.. Seward, in his tour around
the world, observed that sSin Egypt OPP
thalmia is universal, " attributing it to
the same excessive dazzle" of the wide
areas of white sand; and the British sol
diers, in the state campaign In that
country, exhibited symptoms of the
disease. In the Smithsonian report for
1877 it is stated, in paper on Color
Blindness" that an. Chevreul has pro-
