Single Eyeglasses.

1.-The custom of wearing single eye
glasses said well-known optician
yesterday, lis feature of the English
craze, which, happily, does not seem to
be growing in favor. The few that |
sell are, almost without exception, for
use in public or private theatricals. to
be worn by characters of the Lord Dun
dreary stamp"
"You say happily the custom is
not growing What is the objection to
their use?"
Il will tell you. There are few ex-
ceptions. as there are to every rule, but
the eyes of most people are so full that
a glass of that kind cannot be kept IN
place without a decided distortion OF
the face. This distortion is apt, in
time, to become permanent and dishg-
ure person for life.
"The use Of one by person with
good eyesight, simply as an atfectation,
is extremely injurious to theeyes, for the
vision then not being binocular vii

"They are only suitable for moment
ary use, where there is difference in
the vision of two eyes. But even when
such difference exists it is much bet
ter for person to have a double glass,
ono lens, if an eye is good, being ot
plain glass, and the other especially
adapted for the defective eye.
"a person can thus look at the world

in the majority of cases the use of single
eye glasses is an afectation, and an in

Buffers 8 Address.

LOWELL, Mass, Aug. 18.-Butler has
given out an address to the people as well
as an acceptance of the nomination ten
dered him by the anti monopoly and
gIeenback parties. He claims that his
resolutions were voted down in the COM
mittee meeting at Chicago, and if they
had been cordially received he would have
been bound by the action of the convens
tion to support both its platform and
nominees. The republican party being
corrupt. and the democratic party failing
to carefully foster the interests of the
working classes, he thinks reform can
only be derived by electing him to the
presidency. He abjures the laboring men
to vote together, and desires to make a
fusion in all states with the supposed
minority. He closed with an address to
the democrats of Massachusetts, who put
their faith in him once before. He invites
them to stick to him now and to come
into the peoples party" To such as
cannot he bids political farewell. Al
the end of the address, as an appendix, is
note to the effect that he issued the ad>
dress sooner than he he had expected. He
would have preferred to wait for Mr.
Cleveland, but he yielded TO the advice OF
trusted friends in making it now. He
believes in short campaign.

A Young Gorilla.

1t had been imported from the
Gaboon, and it was the first living spec
linen of this great anthropomorphic ape
which had been brought to France. Its
study would have presented many
points of interest, not alone from the
natural history point of view, but also
from the opportunity it would have
afforded of studying the development
of its intellectual faculties. This.young
specimen was about three years of age;
he had already his full complement of
milk teeth, and the long and sharp
CANNES were decidedly longer than the
molars. In disposition he appeared TO
be very different from either the orang-
outang or the chimpanzee. While these
in state of captivity are mostly gentle
and sociable, this young gorilla, on the
other hand, was savage, morose, and
brutal; he never gave his keeper the
least mark of affection; he never al
lowed himself to be touched without
evidencing the greatest aversion, and
for the most part he returned caresses
by snappings. He never took the least
part in the games of the other apes,
and he most reluctantly tolerated hav-
ing them near him. He was but little
active, and most generally kept himself
crouched up in a corner of the cage, OF
sitting on branch with his back ur
against the wall, and scarcely ever
moved except to look about for some.
thing to eat He used his hands with
much readiness, and they were extreme
ly well developed. His lips were less
mobile than in the chimpanzee, espe-
cially the lower lip, which was never
pouted out when drinking into spoon
shaped form. His eyes were extreme
ly mobile. and were crowned with inn
mense superciliary ridges; his nose was
fiat, with extensively large nostrils, Civ
