NECESSARY LAW.

There are very decided and just objec-
tions made to the ratification of the pend
ing Extradition Treaty between the
United States and the British Empire,
and doubtless the Senate will refuse con-
currence in many OF its provisions. The
sections, however, which make it lawful
to arrest and return defaulters and en-
beZzlers, will doubtless be concurred in,
and thus forever erase the dark spot on
the national name, now made so con-
spicuous by the many wealthy thieves
who have taken refuge in Canada. Steal
ing in high places has been reduced to
science, and while the only punishment
under the present law, is forced absence
from the country, no proper provision for
the punishment OF the criminal exists,
and many are led into crime in conse-
quence OF such immunity. Ia he great
money centers where millions change
hands daily, men are tempted to join in
the swim, for ii successful they are
wealthy, and if they fail, it is but to run
to the border and they are safe. Who
can tell but that these thoughts were
often in the mind of Gray, the Boston
deiaulter, who committed suicide yester-
day, when he saw no chance TO escape
punishment. He certainly did not look
ahead to dishonor with violent death
by his own hand, when he took the
money OF his employers. lie looked TO Il
life Of ease, while he could cover his
tracks, and then safety over the border in
Canada. Had it not been for this chance
OF escape he, and many others now there
would never dare to rob the people in the
wholesale manner they have. If the law
can be made TO reach such mem in the
uttermost corners OF the earth, it will be
better for humanity, for men who are
naturally OF a thieyish propensity, fear
nothing but the law, and its absence or
invalidity leaves them free to follow their
criminal promptings. The very recent
defalcations and flight Of the Philadel-
phia canal treasurer is another case in
point, and proves the necessity OF such a
law. If this man could be brought back

The following, from the Boston Herald,
touching Whittier's beautiful tribute to
Samuel J.. Tilden, proves that Pulsifer is
a gentleman, ii he is a Mugwump:
The manly tribute of the poet Whittier to
Mr.. Tilden is something which men who
have not the soul to see anything good in
political opponent will do well to ponder.
1t is pity that SO many of our public men
have to wait till death before their worth is
recognized. Mr.. Tilden moy have had his
faults, but in life, AZ in death, he was a
conspicuous public benefactor. Yet, where
one of the opposition press recognized this
there were ten to shamefully taunt him for
his physical intirmities, and this for years
after he had ceased to be dangerous to their
party as candidate for public office.

BUFFALO BILL, not content with depicting
the pockets of New Workers with his show,
is suing for $15, 100000 worth of property on
Euclid avenue, Cleveland. His lawyer in
forms him that he is likely to win, in which
case William will eschew red shirts and
sombreros, and settle down as part of
Cleveland's creme de la creme.-S. r. Post.
This sweet little advertising chestnut,
so often OF late roasted and busted "
seems to have taken on new lease OF
life. Cody has been informed long ago
by the Court of Appeals in Cleveland,
that there is nothing in his claim, and he
has quietly dropped it and taken to the
mimic warpath. He had ghost OF q
claim which hinged on forged signature
but it did not pan out.

A petition was received frem st. Louis by
Senator Cockrell, addressed to the Senators
and Representatives from Missouri, asking
their aid in securing regulations by the In
dian bureau requiring an Indian trader to
purchase the stock of his predecessor in the
tradeship. The petition is signed by Samuel
c. Davis q Co., the Simmons Hardware
Company, the Greeley-Burnham Company
and other prominent mercantile houses, and
explains that great losses have been suffered
by the business concerns of st. Louis and
other cities through the changes of traders
at short intervals, without affOrding them
opportunity to dispose of the stock of goods
accumulated when they had no expectation
of change. As a means of protection to
the wholesale merchants who sell to these
traders on credit, the petition asks a regula.

EXPLODED HER BOILER.
A Sternwheel Steamer Saved by a
Woman Who Kept Her Presence OF
Mind when all Others were Panic
Stricken.

The small sternwheel steamer Ike Bonham
exploded her boiler about six miles below
Vicksburg in midstream and under way
going down to Davis Bend. VIM. An
drews, the mate, white. and fivecolored men
of the deck crew were blown overheard and
drowned. Ed McElroy, captain, and Chas.
Girard, engineer, were both seriously in
jured but not fatally. After the explosion
the wreck took fire but was put out by Mrs.
W. II. Sargent, wife of the owner, who,
with colored woman, 3 passenger, were
the only persons left on the wreck unin-
jured. The wreck drifted on sandbar in
three feet of water. The engineer was badly
scalded and almost covered with pieces of
the wreck. He was released by the lady.
She also threw a line out and saved two
eolored men who were in the river. The
boat was valued at $4,000.
Engineer Charles Girard of the Ike Bon
ham makes the following statement: "Pilot

FACTS ABOUT THE EYE.
Which VIII Do no Harm For Any One
to Read.

There is no cure for color blindness.
The fist case of color blindness was re-
ported in 17T.
Color blindness is due to exhaustion of
nerve flores.
-Four out of every 100 males and one in
every 400 females are color blind.
1t is no sign man is color blind because
he cannot name every color.
The eye of an insect contains from fifty to
10000 small eyes. 1t is really composed of
eyes.
We do not need light to see certain objects.
A sharp blow On the eye often causes man
to ''see stars"
The causes of color blindness, aside from
natural causes, are alcohol, tobacco and dis
eases. 1t is in many cases hereditary.
The writer saw man who was color blind
take 100 colors and divide them into four
groups-black, yellow, white and blue.
1t Is nonsense to believe there Is any par
ticular way to rub the eyes. 1t makes no
difference whether you move from or toward
the nose or up or down.
The cat, horse and birds have third eye
! lid, which Is used to protect the eye from
| too much light. Man has third eyelid in
/ the corner of the eye which is undevel0ped.
| The defects Of the eye are numerous, but
we are pretty well satisfied with it. Every
one has blind spot In his eye. This Is
proved by shutting one eye and Looking q,
an object. We cannot see 1t fully.
The use of the eye-cups to change the form
Of the eye, in hope Of betterinR the sight, /:
ridiculous. They draw the eye out Of shape
and often cause blindness. Thousands oi
these cups are sold every year.

New York, March l5.-When the big Gu.

cock and Fire island a three-masted sehoon-
er, presumably coaster, was seen a mile
or so off the port bow of the Oregon. First
Officer Matthews, of the Oregon, was on the
bridge and Capt. Cottier was below. Wheth-
er the Oregon was seen by the men aboard
the schooner will never be known. There
was light southwesterly breeze, before
which the schooner was moving slowly and
nOiselessly. About 4 20 o'clock the schooner
was short distence off the port bow of the
Cunarder. According to the story of pas
senger who happened to be on the deck at
that moment, probably, First Officer Mat
thews was not aware of the schOoner's
proximity. The sleeping passengers were
suddenly awakened by a sound resembling
the discharge of cannon. The little
coaster had crashed into the port side of the
iron giant, just abatt the foremast and i'm
mediately under the salooon, making large
hole above and below the water-line, through
which horse and cart might be driven.
Passengers jumped from their berths in
scanty attire, and ran on deck. Water
rushed into the hold and ran into the fur.
naces. The tiremen hastened on deck, but
were ordered by the officers to return to
their posts. The eight big life boats were
got into the water with difficulty. During
the lowering of the boats rockets were sent

will draw only twenty-five inches of water
The boat will be side wheeler, and will
have TWO condensing engines for each
wheel. The cost will depend largely on
the finish and decorations. IL soft woods
are used it will not cost less than S150. 600,
but Sl00, 600 more could easily be put into
