Optical Indications.

It's said that very quiet eyes, which
impress and embarass one with their
reFose, signify not only self command
but also much complacency and some
conceit. Restless eyes that cannot
look one steadily in the face denote a
deceitful designing mind. Eyes in
which the white has yellowish
tlnge and is streaked with reddish
veins, prove much of strong passion
and hasty temper Very blue eyes
bespeak a mind inclined to coquetry.
Grey eyes signify dignity, intelli-
gence, and excellent reasonable fac
ulties. Greensh eyes, falsehood and
a fondness for scandal a malicious
mind is often indicated by greenish
eyes. Black eyes show a passionate,

Special Telegram to The Inter Ocean
HERKIMER, n. Y, Aug. 12.-This has
been a perfect day in Herkimer, and
General and Mrs. Logan have passed it
most pleasantly. During the day time,
accompanied by Senator and Mrs. Miller,
they drove to many points of interest in
this beautiful Mohawk Valley, visiting
among others the home of the famous
General Spinner. In the evening the
handsome parlors at Senator Miller's res
idence were thrown open, and hundreds
thronged them to greet the distinguished
guests. The house was tastefully deco
rated for the occasion. General Logan
will leave Herkimer early Thursday
morning reaching Utica at o'clock
where a private car will be placed at his
disposal. He will go direct TO Water
town, where, after a reception and
speeches, he expects to visit the Thousand
Islands for a few hours, returning to
Utica Friday. Great preparations are
being made to receive him there. Then
after participating in the ceremonies he
will take up his journey west, stopping
for few hours at Buffalo and Chautau-
qua. General Logan is looking and
feeling the best, has entire confidence in
the result OF the election, and naturally
is much gratified at the cordial greeting
which he is receiving while journeying
home through New York State.
When General Logan was shown the
sensational article in the New York Sun,
which stated that Blaine's friends were
much alarmed over the state of his
health, that he had not been himself for
some months, was losing his mental
yigor, self-coniidence, etc, he laughed
heartily and said, 81 never saw Blaine
looking better than when ! met him in
Maine last month" If a mans mind is
affected who can do the work he has the
past year, write such book as his, so
powerful, yet giving offense to so few,
and also write such Il remarkable letter
of acceptance when nominated for the
presidency. / think there are many who
would want to be afflicted the same
way"
Blaine's political opponents are the
ones who have reason to feel most alarm
ed about his mental vigor, as the short
sharp speeches he is making and his Wig
orous, aggressive campaign work are
having a powerful effect for republican
success.

being questioned, said:
There is undoubtedly a very large labor
vote in the country which has hitherto
been in sympathy with the democratic
party which is dissati sled with the
nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland, and which,
were a vote polled at the present nme,
would support Mr.. Blaine. Doubtless a

Blaine under any condition. as the best
means of expressing their dislike to Mr..
Cleveland and THEN belief in practical
system which the convention rejected
when offered by Gen Butler. The can
didacy of Butler at the first blush might
not be considered of advantage to Mr..
Blaine, but in the wear and scar of the
canvass the labor vote is more likely, on
account of the previous affiliations with
the democratic party, to remain stead
fast in its allegiance to Butler, than it
would to a candidate of the republican
party. The candidacy of Butler is there
fore a great advantage to the republican
party.

The Prospect Clearing Up.

The St Paul Pioncer-PycSS says on
prospects of the campaigns;
The stars in their courses fight for
Blaine. Every week since his nomina-
ton increases the probability of his cleo
ton. A great many honest republicans,
personal friends as well as fractional enc
mics of the republican candidate, doubt
ed the wisdom of his nomination. and
trembled for republican success after the
Chicago convention took the decisive
step of making it. The nomination of
Cleveland by the democrats, in obedience
to the demand Of the Independent repub-
leans opposed to Blaine, added to the
republican uncertainties, while it intro
duced new and unforeseen complications
on the democratic side. For two or
three weeks after the democratic CON
ventiOn it was anybody's race, The
prospect was full of chaotic uncertain
ties The candidates on either side
I'D bitter and implacable opposition,
and each was confronted with boiling
minority of uncertain numbers. Party
lines were broken and party forces scat

counterdrift Of complex tendencies, any
novel result was possible, and the
shrewdest observers cOntented them
selves with vaguely looking for the un-
expected. More recently this chaos is

character Of its partisans, and energetic

more and more insignificant in numbers
and impotent in effective capacity as the
campaign goes on. The Independent
movement was never able to rally
against Blaine more than a respectable
minority of the people who opposed
both him and Arthur before the conven-
ton. The majority Of the Edmunds
men in the convention, including all the
Younger active, working members like
Roosevelt and Cabot Lodge, after a brief
season Of excusable sulks, have come
