New Pupils for Blind Eyes.
From the Cincinnati ENQUIRER

DR.. G. G. McDermott has performed
two operations on a patients eyes
this week that are considered marvel
Gus by those who have q knowledge of
the subject. The patient is little girl
from Lebanon, O., who is now with
her mother at 53 West Seventh Street.
Her name is Mary Margaret Reardon,
and her father is an employe of the
l., B. & W. Railroad. She is II years
old, and has been almost totally blind
since birth, being afflicted with what
is known as congenital cataracts. The
center of each pupil had cataract,
and she could only see dimly from the
circle around the cataract. AS her
mother said, she could see dark OBJ
iects moving, but could not distin-
guish horse or COW from train of
cars. She had received an education
such as is given to the blind, and can
read very we'll the raised letters which
are used for the sightless. Her par
ents had been anxious to have some
thing done for her eyes since she was 8
years old, and taken her to prominent
specialists, who would not guarantee
that they could do her any good.
w 1Ul1lA1 UAC 1C1SU low NCOhS LII. n1CICI
mott has been treating her, and Tues
day last he made an operation on the
left eye. He did not attempt to re-
move the cataract, but made an in
cision in the lower part of the eye, and
formed a new pupil. He then band
aged che eye, and found yesterday
that it entirely healed up without in
fammation. He therefore repeated
the operation on the right eye yester-
day afternoon. The little girl, who
had a fine, intelligent face and pretty
golden hair, was startled when the
bandage was removed yesterday morn
ing from the first eye operated on, and
declared that things looked strange to
her. Shetook no an@sthetic while the
operation was performed, and never
finched or cried.
The doctor says that for a few days
his patient will have to wear band
age, and after that she will begin to
see, and in few weeks be able to read
common tpye,
A number of physicians were present
when the dangerous operation was
performed at DR.. McDermott's Office
yesterday, and unite in praising that
physicians skill. By the operation
two artificial pupils for the eye are
formed.

Fun In a Telegraph Office.
Iron the Chicago Herald.l

[From the Chicago Herald.]
Said one Of the Western Union tele-
graph receivers yesterday:
"Do you know that few people out
side the doctors and the telegraph re-
celvers realize how many babies are
born IN the world? Why, there isn't
q day, Sunday included, that | don't

baby kilograms as we call 'em. BY
these L mean Geographic announce
ments OF the advent of little strangers.
There's good deal of human nature
IN these messages. Of course they are
usually sent to the little ones grand
parents, and they take on all shades
OF exuberance from the wildly exalted
ecstacy OF frst-born to the cold, for

say, however, that after the second or
third event of the kind the lightning is
not drawn on SO recklessly Theslow

enough for the emergency. The COM
ing OF the first, however, is as sure to
bring out an excited telegram as that
the sun shines. 1t is great fun to
watch the senders of these first baby
dispatches as they prepare them. A
young father comes In with q hurried
step and an exultant, beaming face.
He grabs a blank and dashes off some
thing like this: Great news Mary

that up. Somehow he doesn't want
the rude telegrapher to know the

But pshaw,' he says, that's rather a
cold way to speak of her to her own
father and mother. Wife, why of
course she's wife, but / don't like

starts again and this time he says:

dashes off: It's girl. Mother doing
nicely, and after looking at that five
or SIX minutes, and may be with q
moistened eye, he signs his first name
to it and hands it in. They're all

They're proud and happy and con-
scious, and yet they will do almost
anything to conceal their identity

A Formal Call in Persia.

1PP4LLENG CRIMES.
Austin. Tex, Shocked by Two Terrible
1,ragedies-The City Excited.

Austin. Tex, Shocked by Two Terrible
Iragedies-The City Excited.
Two terrible crimes were committed
in Austin, Tex, on the night of the
25th, after midnight, which undoubt-
edly will result n three deaths, and no
telling how many lynchings. During
the past year Austin has been Mortified
every few weeks by some dastardly
attack on servant women, both white
and colored. Fully dozen servants
have been assaulted and eight MUIR
dered within this period. The crimes
all bore evidence OF being perpetrated
and planned by the same persons.
Every effort was made to apprehend
the criminals, and skilled detec-
tives have been employed. About
midnight on the 25th, w.
FL. Hancock, a. well-to-do car
penter, residing at 2O3 Water Street,
was awakened by groans. Entering
his wife's chamber adjoining, he found
the vacant bed covered with blood
spots. He followed the trail out OF the
front door around the house and into
the yard, where he found his wife welt
ering in a pool of blood. Shehad been
struck twice &C oss the head and face
with a blunt axe and her skull tract
ured. Although still alive, physicians
say the lady will surely die from her
wounds. Mrs. Hancock is 40 years OF
age and still handsome woman: She
bore an unblemished character. In
the midst Of the great excitement pro-
duced by this outrage, citizens were
appalled, at learning of q still greater
crime about the same hour, several
squares distant. At 1 o'clock Mrs.
Phillips, residing at 3OS Hickory
Street, was awakened by the cries OF
her grandson. Entering her son, James
Phillips room, she found the infant on
the bed covered with blood, and Phil
lips lying senseless from a terrible blow
across the head. Ella Phillips, his
wife, was missing. A frightened neigh
Dor followed the bloody trail and
found her body lying in the back yard
of the adjoining premises. Death had
resulted from blow on the forehead
with an axe. Across the body lay
heavy rails Her person had been
outraged There is no clue to either
crime. The excitement on the streets
during the day was very great.
Christmas was forgotten. The mayor
called meeting of citizens at the state
house. Nearly 1000 attended. A
committee of public safety was organ
lied. The feeling over these last out
RACES is intense. A house-to-house
search for the bloody-handed murder
,ers will probably be made.

Black Erysipelas.
from the hartford Times

A gentleman of this city found some
erysipelas blotches on his face last
week. His physician gave him a wash.
Feeling a burning sensation in the
night he got up and took what he
thought was the vial from the mantel,
without lighting his gas jet, and dur
ing the night rubbed the wash upon
his face three times. In the morning
he found his face had turned black,
and he thought he had been struck
with the "black erysipelas." But on
examining the vial he found he had
been rubbing upon his face some very
black and Staying" writing ink, which
a drummer had left for trial, and which
the gentleman's wife had placed upon
the mantel alongside of the erysipelas
wash.

How Dead Horses Were Utilized.
From the Boston Budget |


Among other army contractors of
high and low degree at or about Wash
ington during the war was one who
had purchased, as the highest bidder,
the dead horses of the Army of the
Potomac, for which he paid $1.76
each, delivered at his establishment"
They averaged, in the winter, fifty a
day. and were thus disposed of: First,
the shoes were pulled off; then the
hoofs were cut off; then the names and
tails were sheared. The animal was
then skinned, the carcass was boiled
that the tallow might be extracted, the
best of the bones were sold for knife
handles, and the remainder to be
ground for fertilizers. The total result
was that these different parts of the
dead nag were worth when prepared
for market at least $25 head, and
the profits of the contractor were con.
sequently very large.

thriving business IN Milwaukee during
tue past few weeks.
THE central committee of the ma
tlonal s@ngerfest, to be held in Mil
yankee next July, report that SO far
seventy six societies have signified their
intention of taking part in the festi-
val.
A SHOCKING tragedy took place in
the town of Freedom, on the afternoon
OF the 10th, the particulars OF which,
in the excited state of the neighbour
hood, it has been difficult to obtain.
The facts, as far as gathered, are as
follows: August Endter, a farmer OF
Freedom, was chopping in the woods
IN company with his son, q youngman
10 years of age. About 3 O'Clock
Hugh Boyle, a neighboring farmer,
came up and a quarrel arose, it is sup
| posed, in reference to the cutting Of
wood over disputed boundary line.
There is report to the effect that the
Endters set their dog upon Boyle, but
| this IS not certainly known. Boyle
however, assaulted them with billet
OF wood, striking both of them upon
the head, injuring the older man about
the temple and fracturing the skull Of
the younger. Boyle Immediately dis
appeared, and the elder Endter drove
to the city and laid the case before q
Justice OF the peace. The young mar
died on the following afternoon from
the effects of the blow. Boyle was ar
rested at q late hour on the 21st
| and says he fought in self-defense,
