ting room Of her house. She uncOnsciously
dropped into dreamland, and the child,
missing her attention, determined to
arouse her. Re had piece OF shingle IN
his hand, and scrambiing up to the side
OF the lounge, he leaned over his uncon-
scIOus grandparent, and, raising the shin
gle, struck her across the eyes with 1t.
The woman started up, terrified and
amazed. She had regAined her sight, and
she knew not how. She experienced a
a sharp pain for an instant, but the sud
den transition from darkness to light,
from blindness TO the blessing OF eight,
made this vanish, and she cried out aloud
with Joy. Members OF the family sur
rounded her, and upon examination it
was found that both cataracts had been
broken by the blow which the grandson
administered. Mrs. Scanlon has been en-
tirey cured, and neighbors who have
known her for many years vOuch for the
truthfulness of the statements made
above. There is great JOY in the Scanon
homestead, aud the infant oculst is the
lion of the hour.

Hanging of the siouxs.
from the 50. Pau Glo6e.

An eyewitness to the hanging of thirty
eight Sioux Indians at Mankato, saws
that the cOpper-c0lored murderers came
from their prison, danced across the
street and capered up the stairway Of the
platform like a herd OF wild animals,
Each man bore between his bronze lips
cigar Mt which he Justify pulled as the
rope was placed around his neck and the
knot adjusted under his ear. When the
rope that held the platform was cut,
thirty-eight Indians shot downward
thirtv-elght spinal columns snapped
apart and thirty-eIght cigar stumps flew
into the air and fell TO the ground 10 be-
come food for avnrcious bootblacks, The
bodice were loaded into express wagons
much as the carcasses OF butchered hogs
would have been, and half buried in the
sandy river bottom, but before the sun had
been two hours behind the western hills
not an Indian cadaver could be found. "a
they had been purloined by medical stu.
dents who plucked them for the scalpel
and dssecting table.
