strengthened BY Vanderbilts interview IN

other active shares at this time was unim-

of grangers and low-priced Gould stocks, a
sharp advance took place. Changers were
favorably affected by news from the west
concerning crops. The advance in prices
from Saturdays closing figures ranged from

ShOrtsightedness.

A writer in the London Times CLAIMS
the cause of myopia to be the application
Of the eyes to near objects; in other
words, the porting over books and handi-
crafts. When the ewes are directed to !
near object, they are turned in or rem
dered convergent, so that the axis of
vision meet upon it, and this position is
maintained by muscular effort which.
If continued, alters the shape of the eve
In the direction OF csongation. Mani
testify. the alteration will be most easily
1ted during youth, when the tissues
o the body, including those of the eve.
are comparatively lax and distcnsible.
and it will also be most easily effected
among those young people whose tissues
are exceptionally weak, by reason of in
adequate 70 d or OF unhealthy descent
or surroundings. Badly Lighted schools
are the great manufactures Of myopia
the bad light compelling approximation
Of the books or other materials Of study
The Mason g. Hamlin upright pianos are
pronounced to be, like the organs OF the same
company, the best of their kind. The refine
ment and purity Of tone attained in them are
especially commended. Boston Journal.

How strange 1t is that ideas in vari-
Gus parts Of the globe are so contra
siictory For instance, take the ques-
ton Of girls. In spite of our advancing
ideas, we have a general conviction
that gicls should not be put to very
hard work. We shield them If we
can. In Asia and Africa, on the con-
trory, in spite Of all we are always
hearing Of the lazy lives of women in
those countries, an old belief prevails
that they were born to labor. The
sameis true In many parts of Germany.
In Turkestan and on the Tartar
steppes, the Kirghese sultanas and
their daughters, in whose veins flow
the blood Of long lines of kings, still
milk the sheep, cows and goats, and
perform the mental duties of the house
hold. They reverse our order of things.
The mother wears silk and the daugh-
ter calico; the mother cultiyates ac-
complishments and the daughter does
the drudgery; in fact, they really con-
slider the mother entitled to the best Of
everything. Such is it TO be I'M
civilized. There the mother is at
home in the parlor and the daughter
in the kitchen, and we would look in
vain for the child too fashionable and
well-educated to scorn her mother.
What blessed state of affairs!--

From an article b. George + Williams.
the well-known war correspondents. on
Lights and Shadows Of Army Life il
the Century, we quote the following
Every general of prominence had
nickname bestowed upon him By his
troops. Some Of these names were Of q
sarcastic nature. but usually they iEdIca-
ted the confidence Of the men In their
leaders Or their admiration for them.
General Grant was commonly known over
the watch-iires in the Army Of the Po-
tomac as .'0ld United States. from the
Initials OF his name. but sometimes he
was called .sOld Three Stars, that mum.
Der indicating bis rank as lieutenant gen
eral Mcclellan Was endeared to his
army as Little Mac. Meade, who
wore spectacles. was delighted to learn
that the soldiers had named him -Four
eyed George |" for he knew It was not
intended as a reproach. Burnside,
the colonel Of the First Rhode Island
regiment, rose to the dignity of ssRh0dyn
when he became q general. Hooker
never liked the sobriquet of : Fighting
Joe, /" although he always lived up to It
during his career in the field. Pope was
saddled with the title of Saddle bag
John. " in memory of his famous order
about head quarters being on horseback.
His men used to say that their head
quarters moved pretty rapidly at times.
Sigcl, the German general. was known
in the other corps as s Dutchyn Han
cock won the brevet of $ Superb from
remark made by General Meade at Get
tysburg. when the second corps re
pulsed Longstreet's men. Humphrey.
being q distinguished engineer, was In
variably styled Old Mathematics. =
The Pennsylvania Reserves used to
call Crawford $ Physics" he beng
a surgeon at the beginningnof his mill
tary career Logan, with his long black
hair and dark complexion, was Black
Jack with his men. Sheridan, the
cavalry leader, was Little Phil and
Sherman's troops spoke of him as old
Tecumseh.' The sterling nature and
steadfast purpose Of Thomas earned for
him the significant and familiar name of
McCook, like Hooker, was called
s"Fighting" McCool The New York
city regiments in the Fifth Corps changed
Sykes to 'Syksey.' Halleck was derisively
nicknamed odd Brains, and Rosecrans
had his name shortened to Rosey. Lew
Wallace was Louisa to the soldiers
under his command; he was great
favorite for his fighting qualities, and the
soldiers adopted that Inappropriate name
for want of a better. Kearney, who had
left an arm in Mexico. was invariably
known in the ranks as sOne-armed Phil.
Butler was styled sCockeye, for obvious
reasons. Fitzpatrick was nicknamed
kill, while Custer was called sRinglets,
on account Of his long flowing curls; and
so the catalogue might be prolonged in
definitely.
Among the Confederates familiar
nicknames were not so common as with
the Federals. The soldiers of the Army Of
Northern Virginia usually spoke of Gen
eral lee as Bob Lee. Little Malone
was best known as Skin and Bone
Early was called bad OLD Man, and
Jackson will live in history as Stone.

A Wall street broker remarked the
other day: Women are the most reck-
less gamblers in the world. / never
yet knew one to come out ahead specu-
lating in Wall street. for they never
know when to let 60. As spectators,
however, they have ten times the
nerve of men, and they stand their
losses with extraordinary fortitude.
A striking instance OF the hold which
gambling gains on any one occurred
the other dry. A woman came into
my Office about l o'clock in the a.
ternoon and asked to see me on a
matter OF Importance. I went out to
her and found she had travelled all
the way down from Springfield,
Mass. for the purpose Of investing
some money. She took bank book
out of her bosom, and showed me
that she had a deposit Of $4,000.
While was talking to her it occurred
to me several times that her face was
familiar, but I found 1t was impossi-
bic to place her. Finally | asked her
and she seemed greatly surprised that
had forgotten. She recalled the fact
that she came to my Office nearly
twelve years ago with $4,000 and be-
gun t0 speculate. She had made $10,-
900 within two weeks and then sud-
denly got caught in a flurry and was
completely wiped out She lost every
cent that she had. She went back
to Springfield and here she is
again ready to blow in the rest Of
her savings. During al these twelve
years she saved the money carefully,
and every day she has read the stock
reports in the newspapers. She has
followed the market carefully and her
ideas are sound enough On stocks. bnt
there IS no chance OF her winning.
