A Spectacle Mission.

Tho death of DR.. Agnew, the eminent
Oculist gives peculiar interest to singu-
lar design OF philanthropy. Several ew
York women who annually spend goo lily
portion Of their time and money in sch mes
for beneftting their unfortunate fellow
creatures ar contemplating a POSITIVE
novelty in this line, and one which might
paradOxically be the far-sighted conception
of a near-sighted woman. This is nothing
less thar a spectacle mission, and its
bene Is will fall, not only on the very
poor, but indirectly, upon the very ignor-
ant in humble life. DR.. Agnew approved
it himself, aud was going to endow it with
his name.
1t Is a lamentable fact that youth i BE-,
coming almost as dependent upon eye
glasses as age; and the increase of the
necessity for them among young children
Is also noticeable. In most cases the trO ble
is due to the nature of the victims daily
labor The mission would be of especial
benefit to poor seamstresses, talors, shoe
makers, etc, I'm the lowest grades of the
work. The city holds thousands of such
aborers to whom the price of a good pair
of spectaces, properly fitted to the eye,
means self-denial in other directions for a
month at least, while to many they are
wholly unatta'nable, and the ruin of the
sight inevitably results. The mission, IL
now started, will employ an Oculist, and
no charge will be made for the glasses;
the only stipulation being an introduction
from some reputable party. Physicians
indorse the project as a excellent one, and
believe that it will remedy in consider
able degree the evil now so common among
the poor, of wearing glasses quite unsuited
to the eyes which they are supposed to as

No one responded for two or three min

LAW MAD


One of the faculty of the Manka-
to Normal School recently came
out in favor of law prohibiting the
issuing of teachers certificatea to any
but Normal school graduates.
A prominent man in Chicago, and a
newspaper man at that. recently came
out in favor of a law compelling every
man who writes for a newspaper to
sign his name to his articles. This was
suggested as means of limiting the
power of the press.
The regular doctors have laws in a
number of States, and are asking them
in every State, prohibiting any one
from healing except the regular drug
doctors.
The regular orthodox preachers are
asking laws in every State to close all
libraries, theaters, etc., stop the run
ming Of all public conveyances, etc., on
Sunday, so that the pulpits and church
es can have a monopoly. More than
this. they are asking that the very Con-
stitution of the United States be 60
amended as to declare that their relig-
ion and their view of God be binding
upon the whole nation.
The Vice Society of New York, sup
ported by the more bigoted orthodox
elements of the country, has national
law now, and is asking that it be made
still stronger in their interest, by which
any publisher can be sent to the peni-
Tertiary for publishing opinions upon
social, sexual. marriage, scientific. or
other subjects, which are not in &C.
cordance with the established views of
ignorant society.
And 50 on and on. Every class, ev-
cry religion, every society, every manu-
featuring and laboring interest, is ask
ing law, law, law, to give their views
or interests the advantage over the
views and interests of others.
And strange to say, tens of thousands
of people, like ignorant sheep going to
wiz O'Sos oPP'o%O VI CIIIS 1uIvul~
tous, headloDg rush into the jaws and
the gives of foolish laws, and actually
jeer down and cry down the friend who
raises a voice in their behalf.
This is why anarchists are springing
up everywhere. This is why anarchists
will multiply till there is a halt made in
this mad rush into law, or until the
whole iniquitous fabric is overthrown.
There are thousands of bills before
Congress now; there are hundreds up
on hundreds before every State legisla-
ture.
The ADVANCE long ago came out in
favor Of changing the whole plan of
making laws, so that rome of them
Spould be enacted until the people had
