A Remarkable Cure.

The following is taken from an interview

months ego, when Prof Samuels, the noted
optician, furnished him a pair Of glasses
that filled the bill completely, and enabled
him to zee Just as well out Of his heretofore
blind eye as he can out OF the good one.
Mr.. Edison himself never thought that such
thing could be done, because before meet
ing Prof. Samuels he bad tried all the differ
ent kinds Of glasses made. but could not
get anything that gave him any sort Of re-
lief. Such . wonderful cure - this 10 GER

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
The Preambled Declaration Of the
Principles Of this Great
Order.

The alarming development and aggression
of aggregated wealth, which, unless checked
will inevitably lead to the pauperization and
hopeless degradation of the toiling masses,
renders it imperative, ii we desire to enjoy
the blessings of life, that a check should be
placed upon its power and upon unjust accu
mul lation, and a system adopted which will
secure to the laborer the fruits of his toll
and as this mnch desired object can only be
accomplished by the thorough unihcation OF
those who labor, and the united efforts Of
those who earn their bread by the sweat Of
heir brow, we have formed the order OF the
Knights of Labor, with view OF securing
the organization and direction, by coopera.
tive effort, of the power of the industrial
classes; and we submit to the world the
objects sought to be accomplished by our
organization, calling upon all who believe in
securing "the greatest good to the greatest
number" to aid and assist us.
1. To bring within the fold of organization

2. To secure to the toilers a proper share
of the wealth that they create; more of the
leisure that rightfully belongs to them: more
ociety. advantages; more of the benefits,
privileges and emoluments of the world in
a word, all those rights and privileges neces~
ary to make them capable of enjayin 4 ap.

blessings of good government

and financial condition, by demanding from

5. The reservlng of the public lands-the

7. The enactment of laws to compel

preceding week. in the lawful money of the
country.
s. The enactment of laws giving mechanics

their full wages.

just now, on politics, and things are

No Waste About Him.

Was there ever more direct and busi-
nesslike character than Ben Butler, or
one who attacked his work with less
circumlocution or uncertainty In order
devote to the labor he has now in hand,
speechmaking, the other night when he
arose to address a great audience in
Jersey. ity, he begged that there might
be no interruption from cheering. He
had been spending most of the day in
speaking at other meetings, and there
was none too much time left for him to
say what he had to say to the people
of Jersey City. This is characteristic
of him. He is against unnecessary
waste and needless display, and shams
and humbugs of all sorts. He is after
the substance of things and doesn't care
copper for their shadows What he
thinks he says, and few men do more
thinking or can present their thoughts
in clearer and more convincing style
than he; and that this is 80 there can be
no stronger proof possible than the
crowds that have gone to hear him speak,
in whatever section of the country it
might be, and the enthusiasm with
which his words and opinions have
been received.
But it seems now that Gen Butler
would rather have these demonstrations
dispensed with. He has a great work
on hand, and little time to do it in. The
fact is that until the Democratic Con-
vention in July resolved to throw over
board the principle of protection and
the interests of the workingmen, Gen.
Butler didn't know what his work would
be for this campaign. When it secuted
the ideas that he offered, and adopted
instead deeoction which included those
of the free trade Democrats, then the
burden of upholding the principles of
Democracy that had been accepted and
maintained by Jackson and Silas Wright
fell chiefly upon his shoulders, and he
hasn't spared himself in performing his
task.
The result of his labors will not be
limited by the election of this fall, but
the more people that go to hear hin, ),
and the closer attention they give to his
remarks. " hen listening, the more bene-
fit will be gained from his canvass. Go
and listen and think 1t over, and then
perhaps you will vote for the Peoples
candidate
