The Time to wear Glasses.
CMedical Journal.)

When persons find their eyes become
dry and itching in reading, as well as
those who find it necessary to place an
object more than fourteen inches from
their face to read, they need spectacles.
Spectacles sold by peddlers and jewell
ers generally are nurtful to the eyes of
those who read much, as the lenses are
made of inferior glass, and are not SYM
metrically ground. Unless the lenses
are mounted in a suitable frame and
properly placed before the eye, discom-
fort will arise from their prolonged use.
The proper time to begin wearing
glasses is just as soon as the eyes tire on
being subject to prolonged use.

The balance in favor OF narrowing is
in itself a fair profit; the clean culture

ever, here lies in substituting for the
poor and exacting manual labor of the
day, the easily purchased and controlled
animal power doing infinitely better
work at cheaper rate. Two horse

substitute this, but the object was to
show advantage of the (per se) harrow.

nothing Il not cautious. lie knows that

as he had the power to create vacancy
in the Supreme Court before the close oi
the present administration, he had de-
oided to avail himself Of the statutory pro.
vision governing his case.
1t Is reported as an interesting piece OF

over one Hundred Ocean Vessels oyerdu.

New YoRx, Feb. 1S.-Neyef before in
the history Of the marine world have &C
many steamship and sailing vessels beer
so long overdue as at the present time
There are upward Of one hundred ships al
sea bound to this port which have not YET
been spoken or otherwise heard from. The
majority should have arrived here many
lays-and in some cases fortnight-sgo
Concerning number OF the "square.rig.
gers" grave fears are entertained as To
their safety, five being given up by their
agents In this city and their owners on the
other side as lost, together with all on
board. The offices OF the agents here are
thronged daily by the anxious friends Of
those who set sail in the different ships
now behtih time, and although their ap-
prehensions are allayed to considerable
degree by the assertion made by theagents
that they do not fear for the welfare Of the
yesselr, they still adhere with wonderful
pertinacity to the belief that some ter
riDle disaster has befallen the particular
crafts for whose safe arrival they daily
seek and pray.
Every report furnished to the press by
the commanders Of incoming steamers Is
eagerly sought after. 1t Is well known
that the unusually heavy west.northwest
gales and high seas on all parts of the At
lantic for the past fifteen days bave to o
great extent retarded the progress and en-
dangered the safe navigation OF vessels
bound this way.
The owners Of the British ship Grassen-
dale, which sailed from New York May
IL last for Shanghai under the charge OF
Captain Richardson, have now given up
all hopes regarding the safety Of the YES
sci. The American brig Mary 4. ThaYer,
which sailed from Wilmington, N. G., oc-
tober for Cape. Hayten, and the Ameri-
can schooner ]. s. Ives, which left South
Amboy on October Is with coal for Med
ford, Macs, are also regarded as lost, to-
gether with their crews.
The Sound boats were oil from two to

shores OF the Sound were fringed with ice

there is solid mass Of stationary ice.
The ice is heavier than for many years,
and should the cold weather continue n
day ortwo longer the Sound will he COM

sible for sailing crafts to make their way,
and tug boats only get through by follow

is packed more solidly together with every
rising tide, and In many places young ice
bergs from ten to fifteen feet high have

Ohio Republicans Uuanimously Resolve. e

Ohio Republican, Unanimously Resolve to
Vote Against the License Amendment.
CoLuMnus, O., Feb. 1S,-The Republi-
can Senators aud Representatives held a
Joint conference in the Office OF the Secre-
tary OF State, 10 consider Withstand they
wonid take as q patty, in regard TO the
proposed license amendment to the Con-
stitution agreed upon by the Democrats.
There was a large attendance. Senator
wolcott, OF portsge, presided, and Repre-
sentative Matthews, OF Gallia, acted as
Secretary. The entire subject was fully
and freely discussed in all its bearings,
and a resolution was arrived at unani.
mously that not Republican vote should
be given for license. The Democrats have
three morc votes than necessary to carry
the proposition through the Senate, but
they lack three votes IN the House, II they
themselves vote as . unit.
II can now be confidently asserted that
a license amendment will not be submit
ted by this Legislature. There is only
ono uncertain Republican vote, that OF
Jones. OF jackson. He was not present at
the conference, but he has expressed him
self az in favor OF straight-out license, such
as proposed by the Democrats. The Re
publican colleagues Of Mr.. Jones are
hopeful, however, that II he can not cou'
scientiously vote With them on this ques-
tion, hc will not vote with tho Democrats.
The proceedings OF the conference were
conducted in the best Of spirit, and the
policy TO be followed was determined upon
with harmony and absolute unanimity:
There is no concealment Of the fact that
number OF Republican members OF Che
Legislature are individually in favor oi
license as against free whisky, but they
are strongly opposed to helping the Demo
crats out Of their dilemma, ana they JUS
| tify their action OH the ground that the
Democratic party, for political reasons,
| fought the Scott act, the best liquor Law
ever passed, and overturned it by n dis
reputable conspiracy, and that the re-
sponsibility for the existing state OF thingt
rests solely with the Democracy.
