II Gen. Grant reads the newspapers
and is at all sensitive to criticism ne
cannot be having very comfortable tlme'
Since The publication Of his letters TO
Fish. the President Of the broken Marine
Bank. in which he said that he was Will
ing that Ward should make all that could
be made by the use Of his name and IN
auence. the newspapers haven't spared
him. It is true the letters do
not show conelusively that Grant
knew that Ward was en-
gagged in swindling operations, but
Fish's INQUIRIES were sufficient TO arouse
suspicion, and ought to have caused him
10 make himself acquainted with his firms
business before indorsing Ward so en-
phatically. In Grants first letter in an
swer TO Fish's inquiries, he avoids saying
anything about the government contracts.
He probably knew nothing about them.
He must have shown Fish's inquiries to
Ward, who satisfied him that every
thing was right without telling
him the truth. and then secured from him
the second letter to Fish, which contains
the words which seem TO indicate that he
was fully aware Of the nature Of the bust
ness that Ward was doing. The impress
sion is beginning to grow that the Grant
boys knew that the business was not
wholly legitimate, because they talked to
Fish and others glibly about government
contracts. Fred. Grant knows, or ought
to know. that there is no honest money
for spectators in government contracts.
Supplies are purchased by inviting bids,
and the competition is very keen. Fred.
/ Grant must have learned this during his
/ connection with the army. Whether he
/ did or not, there are few intelligent bust
ness men in the country who dc not know
\ all about the method in which government
/ supplies are purchased. 1t is probable
that this experience will cure Grant OF
his itching for great wealth. Whether he
knew Of Wards operations or not, there
are plenty of people who will believe that
! he did. He will never again hold the
place he once held in the estimation of the
public. H cannot very well now avoid
retiring into comparative Obseurity. He
may properly be regarded as on the re-
/ tired list.

The sensational report has again been
given out from New York that Tilden will
positively decline to be a candidate for the
Democratic Presidential nomination, and
will throw the weight Of his influence in
favor Of Senator-elect Payne, Of Ohio.
This is most improbable story. 1t is be-
lieved, in well informed circles, that the
spontaneous support Tilden is receiving
from many sections of the Union, has had
the effect to make him wayer in his de-
termination not to allow his name to be
used at Chicago. 1t is asserted that
his health is better than it has
been in several months, and that
he has so far relaxed his policy of eUclu-
siveness as to cordially receive everyone
that has any claim to his attention. 1t
will be remembered that Payne does not
come up to the ideal pictured by Mr.. Til
den in interviews several weeks ago.
Among other things it was stated that
the sage of Gramercy excused himself
! from being a candidate on account of his
| age and feebleness, and that he added,
with a twinkle Of the eye, payne is tour
years older than | am" The twaddle
| about Payne appears to have been started
/ by the New York Sun, which has a we'll
| deserved reputation for killing off every
! candidate it attempts to advocate. Mr..
/ Tilden is surely not so imbecile as to
think Payne, with his known opposition
/ to both revenue reform and civil service
reform, would be an acceptable candidate
/ to any considerable portion of the Demo-
/ cratic party. The Tilden boom is not
transferable by gift, devise or purchase.
The Macon Telegraph and Messenger
says:
| But conceding to the MORNING News
/ the right to oppose the return of Mr..
! Nichols to Congress, for any or no rea-
/ son at all. still we are at loss to under
/ stand how it can support che reelection
/ of Senator Brown. who occupies the same
/ position on the Morrison tariff bill.
Has Senator Brown announced himself
| as a candidate for reelection, or said that
he would accept are-electiOn? Has our es-
teemed contemporary seen any statement
| i'm the MORNING NEWS that it was or was
not supporting Senator Brown for re-
/ election! Does our esteemed contempt
rary think that it is doing exactly the
right thing to assume that the MORNING
NEWS occupies a certain position and
then proceed to say that it is sat loss to
understand how the NEWS can occupy
such a position? Would it not be well
! for our esteemed contemporary to answer
the above questions, particularly the last,
before discussing the MORNING NEWS
further in connection with Senator
/ Brown

Wonderful Insect Eyes.

Physicians call attention to the in
creasing instances of defective or imper-
feet sight occurring in civilized coun-
tries, and attribute it to various condi-
tlons of modern life-the overwork of
the eyes in childhood. the study of
books in small print, the habit of read
ing by imperfect light, aud many other
causes. 1t appears certain that in mat
ter of eyesight the savage has usually
the advantage of the civilized man. The
gift of sight is one very unequally dis
tributed among the animal world. Some
creatures enjoy it in excess, like the
eagle; others are totally deprived of it,
like the earthworm. In many other in
stances the sense of sight. if not actu-
ally lacking is extremely imperfect, as
in the case of the mole. Insects are in
many cases far more richly endowed
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-02-11

with eyes than even birds or beasts.
The little creature called a whirlwig
(GyT'inus s1tator) which skins about
on the surface of standing water, is
furnished with double set of optics,
the upper portion of the eyes Gifted for
seeing in the air) being placed in the
upper portion of the head, and the low
er portion of the eyes Gifted for seeing
in the water) in the lower portion OF
the head, thin division separating the
two. Spiders possess six eyes-some
species eight, centipedes twenty, while
the eyes of many insects (bees, butter
flies, dragon tiies) are composed OF a
number of facets, each eye being, in
fact, cluster of eyes. Dr. Hook
counted $4,000 of these facets in the
eye of dragon-hy, and Leeuwen-
hoek found as many as 1854
in another specimen Of the same
species. The latter naturalist adapted
one of the eyes of dragon-hy so as to
be able to see objects through it by
means OF microscope, and found that
he could view the steeple of church
299 feet high and $50 feet from the
place where he stood; he could also dis.
tinguish if the door of house, at the
same distance, was open or shut. Fleas'
eyes diminish as well as multiply OBJ
jects; as Puget discovered by perform
ing a similar experiment to that OF
Leeuwenhoek, "A soldier viewed
through it represented an army of pig
mics. the fame of candle
seemed the illumination of thousand
lamps. Blind or imperfectly, sighted
human beings may think with envy OF
the beautiful provision of visual organs
bestowed by Nature on some of her
children; and yet many creatures live
happily with but small share of the
blessings of sight In some of the in
Sc It's who possess the largest share oil
visual organs, some other sense-taste,
hearing or touch-is deficient. Huber
believes their sense of both hearing and
taste to be imperfect. On the other
hand, the blind earthworm will retreat
rapidly into its hole if the light of a
candle is thrown upon it, its sense oi
hearing or smell warning it of the ap-
proach of the danger it can not see. A
bats senses of touch, hearing and smell
are so acute that it depends little on the
aid of its eyes. Spallanzani tested this
by the cruel experiment of destroying
the sight of several bats, and then set.
ting them free. In their flight through
the room they avoided even the smallest
thread placed to obstruct their way
Latrielle, the French naturalist, states
that there is a species of ants which are
entirely blind, but pursue the same
mode of life as their sighted brethren
