Re.UnIOn Of the Grand Army.

Yesterday the people of Baltimore
and Of the State, extended hearty
greeting aud hospitable reception to
the Army of the Potomac at their
first Reunion in that city. Mayor
Latrobe made q most eloquent recep-
zion speech, rendering the hospitali-
~ of the city to the Blue and the
Gray. The meeting of the army of

federacy was singularly cordial and
fraternal. The day was pleasant and
the display was simply grand. The

Destructive Forest Fire.

A forest FIRE on the farm Of Mrs
Milton Whitney and others on the
Severn river on Monday and Tues
day, is said to have done considerable
damage. It is stated that the FIRE
started on the portion of the farm oc-
cupied by Van Buren, Carter, and
that efforts to keep it under control
were unavailing. It was reported
here that church building, known as
Mount Hope Chapel, had been de-
stroyed, and that another chapel on
the place was saved with difficulty
Much fencing and cord wood was also
burned.

to a London Lecturers Notion.
An American woman has been lee
turing in London on love. courtship
and marriage. Her views concerning
the amount of conjugal happiness are
slightly pessimistic. Estimating that
every third married couple is thor
oughly miserable, she declares tho
cause of this Gate of things to be tha
social prohibition against proposal III
marriage by the omar 1t appears
to her hardly fair that man should
m%onopolize the privilege of selecting a
a partner for life, and She deplorcs the
restrictions that condemn q girl to sit
in silence while he on whom she has
fixed her young affections goes around
counting other girls. The lecturers
constant use of the word '.lady''
amused her audience, especially when
she told of the Gladly" who was un-
happy in her marriage but entirely sue
cessful as a market gardener. Her
notion of domestic happiness is this:
A pleasant room, a bright fire. a
comfortable cat and dog, ro~sy-cheeked
children and p~rettily dressed mother,
with sewing in hand. 10 these enters
the husband. tired with his days work.

himself in a comfortable armchair. in
an attitude of careless repose, which
he completes by placing his feet upon

The circumstances Which Tend to Induce
Myopic Vision.

The Circumstances Which Tend to Induce
Myopic Vision.
"Myopia, or near sight" says .
Pittsburgh physician, sis ceused by
poor light, the improper direction of
it, STOPPING or dropping the head,
holding the eyes too near the object
and using them too continuously upon
print, writing, etc. l could pile up
statistics to prove hat education is the
cause of myopia, but every well-in-
formed layman knows it. But it is
not education particularly; it is the
vicious way in which it is acquired,
and it is plain that all the causes l have
enumerated may be removed by an in
telligent school board and thoughtful
teachers. One of the most pernicious
practices in some public schools, and
one calculated to develop more eye dis
eases than an army OF oculists can
eoutyals is that of requiring such a vast
amount of writing of lessons by the
little ones. Writing in poor light is
worse than reading, because the paper
must lie upon the desk, which does not
slope enough, thus causing STOPPING
! and bringing the eyes too near it. The
light falls upon it obliquely, and is re-
| fected in such a way thai much of the
| illumination is lost. Every letter must
| be looked at as written, which is not the
case in reading.
The right side is turned toward the
desk, and the paper is placed obliquely,
which causes tipping Of the head to the
left and a difference in the distance of
the two eyes from the point of the pen.
AS results. many children have a differ
ent focus in each eye; one. eye is used
for reading and the other turns out
ward; one shoulder becomes higher
than the other, the spine gets twisted
and curved, the chest is developed on one
side and is contracted on the other. and
other evils beside eye affections arise.
Myopia is the most common disorder
induced by close eye work, but very
many other diseases are brought on by
it, and any congenital defect, such as
far sight and irregular curvature of the
cornea and lens, is made apparent and
requires correction before the eyes can
be abused, as they are abused in our
public schools. You know now why
so many children wear glasses, and
why SO many general practitioners are
putting out signs as oculists, but | must
tell you that | rarely order glasses for
little folks, because in many cases these
tend to develop the very disease they
are expected to cure. It is a thousand
times better to relieve the eye strain by
rest and a little medicine than to mount
a pair of spectacles. "-Pits6urgA

THE STANDARD DOLLAR,
Some of the Blemishcs Which Disfigurc Its
Fair Proportions.

Some of the BlemisIlcs Which DisfiSurc Its
Fair Proportions.
Morgan, the English engraver of the
die for the standard or s'buzZardn dol
lar, animated perhaps by an ambition
similar to that of the youth who fired
the Ephesian dome, struggled into his
work in two places the initial letter of
his surname. Although microscopic
in size. these ms" are plainly
discernible on the coin even to
the naked eve after a careful
search. An e%aglc-eyed Wall street
man discovered one of the letters, and
following puzzle: ''Find three Ms on
the standard dollar" Two we're
readily found-one in the word "unum''
and another in "America," but the
third is not so easily found. An inter-
view with Chief Drummond of the
United States Secret Service, showed
that there were four Ms instead of
three, and the fourth, hitherto I'M
noticed even by Wall street men. was
pointed out to the reporter. Mr..
Drummond laughed when his attention
was called to the matter, and said:
THE presence of these extra lettees on
the standard dollar was first brought to
my notice by one of my clerks. They
were of course cut in the die by Nor
gam The chief of the Secret Service
acknowledged that they had not es-
capped the attention of the counter
feiter, who had placed them on the
false coins.
Similar instances of the mutilation
of dies are recalled in the case of Eng
fish and French .engravers' work.
Wyon, the artist to the English mint,
many years ago, placed on the plate of
a postage stampa ''W'' on so minute a
character that for years the stamp cir
culated without a doubt of its perfec-
ton. The eventual discovery of the
blemish created a sensation in Eng
land; the Objectionable addition to the
work was promptly erased. and a
stringent law passed against the com
mission of a like offence. In the reign
of Napoleon III. an engraver placed
the initial letter of his surname on the
plate of a stamp. This also was of
such m~icroscopical dimensions that it
escaped detection for a long time. The
discovery of the fact led to the same
result as in the English case.-M. Y.
Tribune.
