THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Eye Diseases in the Black ana White
Raccs-Anciont implements and Pot
terry.
Tho Anthropological society met last evon-
ing in tho Army Medical museum. The
president announced that this would be tho
closing meeting of this season, and that the
society would adjourn to meet again in No
vember. Tho papers for the evening were
as follows: Comparative frequency of GER
tain eye diseases in the white and the colored
rate in the United States" by DIR. Swan NJ.
Burnett; Remarks on collection Of antiqui-
ties from Vendome. Senlis, and the cave
dwellings of France" by DIR. Elmer II. Roy
nolds, and 1.-THE antiquity of man in Mex
CO." by Mr. William ii. Holmes, OF the bu-
reau Of ethnology The curator acknowl-
edged the receipt of series of beautiful
photographs from Prince Roland Bonaparte
and several volumes from correspondents in
our own and in foreign countries
Dr. Burnett related briefly the history of
the manner in which tho colored race was
suddenly transported from its old to its new
environment. Now Physicians have been
earnest in the inquiry how much this race
has been affected by contact with the supe-
rior race. DR.. Burnett himself has made OK
tensivo researches on this question ut tho eye
and ear disponsary, and his address was a
IepcVlIlOu Oh MS experience, G,o4l Caseb nav
ing been examined, 530icoored, 1,S11,white.
The statistics covered inquiries concerning
constitutional diseases of the eye, as well as
defects in the optical instrument itself. Tho
most marked race difference is in the entire
absence of granular lids in the blacks, while
1t forms quite largo per cent. of eye dis
eases among the whites. In healing power
the races are alike.
DR.. Reynolds exhibited beautiful collec-
ton of stone implements sent to him by cor
respondents in France; and his paper was q
narration of their story, reaching through the
archaeolithic, the neolithic, and the bronze
age. The objects were sent by the Count de
Maricout and his brother as types of all tho
characteristic stone implements in France.
Dr. Reynolds reviewed tho collection in the
light of his own experiences, and showed the
method of manufacture and the uses of each.
Mr.. Holmes described human skull inn
bedded in solid limestone. In the suburbs of
Mexico excavations reveal the fact that
while the surface affords innumerable speci-
mems of Aztec art, pottery &C., extending
several feet down, still further down were
found fragments of a far ruder pottery than
any seen in the United States.

This he did not consider money.
Never bet on law su 4, said the judge
rs the witness left the stand. UNLESS you
do the swearing YOURSELF" was the parting
salute Judge Mackey fired ut tho witness.
Tho government at this point announced
their case closed in chief MIR. Mackey
moved to strike all testimony showing tho
immoral and adulterous conduct Of the wife,
except that on the night of the homicide,
on the ground of incompotency in falling to
show that it was done with knowledge, con-
sent, and connivanco Of tho husband, Kar-
cher. Tho counsel made an argument in
support of the motion, citing number of
authorities.
His honor said that he should hold that
this was a question of fact to be submitted to
the jury.
Mr.. Mackey asked that tho court give him
until morning to decide whether or not he
would submit the case.
Juror Nourse wished to know IL these par
ties were ever legally married. ..
Judge Macarthur said that was for consid.
Grafton hereafter
District Attorney Worthington would admit
that the parties were legally married, but
that Karcher, becoming ashamed of his wife's
conduct, denied the existence of tho mar.
| riago.
Judge Mackoy said that they might put in
the certificate and thore rest their case.
District Attorney Worihington thought no
had been little too hasty in admitting tho
marriage. 1Io had just been informed that a
license to marry was issued, but had never
| been returned.
Judge Macarthur thought it was too late
for the government to recedo from the posi-
ton 1t had taken. In the opening and all
through the trial they had proceeded on the
theory that the parties were married, and it
was late for them to rcCede now. Judge
Mackey said they could show beyond fear
of contradiction that there was legal mar
riage existing. At this point the court al
iourned until this morning

\ MURDERERs CHOICE,
He Sacrificed His Son TO Save His owr
Life,

OTTAWA, ONT, December 23.-John
Lowdcr, the father Of George Lowdcr,
who was hanged last June, for the MUIR
der OF Peter La2icr died at Plcton, on
Saturday, aud before his death it is said,
confessed to having committed the muir.
der aud that his son had nothing to do
with II, further than driving him TO the
house of Jones. II was about wear ago
this month that Peter Lozer, resident
OF PictOn, was murdered at the residence
OF Gilbert Jones in Bloomfield. About
ten O'Clock AT night two masked men
went to Jones' house to rob him, but on
finding Lozicr there, they failed to ac-
compIiSh their purpose. one of
the murdcrers had gun,
and his companion q revolver
also. Lolicr grapplcd with one Of the
outlaws, aud In the tuSsle was shot. The
intruders then ran away. They were
tracked from the scene of the murder
over fields TO a lake, near Lowder's house.
Other footprints In the snow led 10
Joseph Tompsits house. Tompsit and
John and George Lowder were arrested.
but AT the trial John Lowdcr was &C.
quilted. The other prisoners were found
guilty OF murder and suffered the penalty
OF the law on the scaifold on the 10th Of
June last
Geo. Lowder protested his innocence to
the last, and the general feeling at the
time was that he preferred death to con.
yictng his father II now appears that
the latter's guilty conscience would not
allow him TO die without making clean
confession of the murder.
Certain parties saw Lowder on the
night In question going In the direction of
Jones house with three persons, but
these persons could not be induced to
give evidence to that effect In the witness
box, The boots that exactly correspondent
with one track In the snow were those
claimed by George Lowder at the time of
his arrest, Hence he was found guilty.
