COFFEE DRINKING AND BLINDNESS.
The Experience Of One Who Has Dropped tie
Habit-An Unpleasant Theory.
North American Review.

am satisfied that defective vision and
blindness will pretty soon be rromi-
nent characteristic among the American
people, the same as rotten teeth have
been during the last 200 years. ! make
this assertion without having seen any
statistics whatever on the subject Of
blindness. l found out long ago that q
cup of coffee leaves n night shade on the
brain which continues logger than an
eclipse of the sun. For some months
past have been consulting with different
persons in Council Bluffs who are suffer
Ing with failing sight, and in each in
stance ascertained that the unfortunate
person was and is, regular coffee drink
er. l have often noticed that the eyes OF
old coffee drinkers had dry and shrivel-
ed appearance.
Having discovered some years ago,
that my own eyesight was surely falling,
then ceased 70 drink coffee as freely as
had used il. But learned that mode
rate coffee drinking is hard thing to
manage, being pretty sure to develop into
the regular habit again with insiduoas
ease, especially at those times when the
physical system feels itself to be in need
of some ellxer.
have no doubt but what this weakness
of the eyes which results from coffee
drinking is due 10 the sympathy which
the optic nerve has for the nasal cavity
(the latter being continuous with the
membranes of the mouth. The naaa
cavity with its first pair of brain nerves,
ID naturally principal place to be affect
ed by any drinking habit. For instance,
to partake of dish of soup will soma
times cause persons breathing TO be-
come thick and decidedly labored. All
the sensory nerves are much affected by
coffee drinking-those gentle ard highly
fehned threads of sympathetic force
which enter largely into the sense of
smell, taste, sight and hearing. The en-
tire sympathetic system is likewise in
yolved immediately in the coffee drinking
habit. The brain, again, is intensely af-
fected thereby, because the principal
nerves OF the brain branch off from the
nasal cavity.
Coffee drinking is especially injurious
when 1t Is resorted to as a back ing for
strong food. There are plenty OF robust
persons among Us who have used coffee
pretty freely all their lives, but who are
seemingly uninjured by it. To this fact
reply that appearances are sometimes
deceiving to uupracticed eyes, and that Il
vice does not in all cases show its effects
plainly IN the first generation. The free
use OF coffee dates back only one genera.
uon IN this country. But this / will say,
that no person is us stout for three hours
after lie mas drank coffee as he was be
fore.

4 Section of South Carolina That has Enjoyed

Over Fifty Consecutive Rainy Days.
CoLUMBIA.-Some remarkable weather
Is reported from section of Collection
county, this state, about twenty miles
square. For fourteen months following
the great earthquake OF August, 1856,
there was al almost continual drouth,
during which the total rainfall did not
exceed two inches. Streams and springs
dried up, crops and sattle perished for
want of water, and it was difficult for the
people TO obtain good drinking water \
little over two months ago rain began to
fall steadily in that section and for fifty
seven consecutive days there were only
two on which it did not fel! All the low
lands have been turned into lakes, no
crops have been made and the people are
IN deplorable condition.

WHAT NEXT?

1t makes no difference what evil be-
falls the earth, the Republicans attempt
O saddle the responsibility for it upon
the Democrats. An amusing illustra-
ton of this tendency is the story that
originated in the Republican head
quarters at Washington, that The yellow
fever scare in Florida is Democratic
invention to frighten Republicans out
of the state so as to increase the Demo
cratic majority. AS a matter of fact,
Democrats are usually more courageous
than Republicans, but when it comes to
facing Yellow Jack a mans political
education is not apt to govern his move
ments. And yet the Republican man
ayers who tell the story haven't faith
enough in it to go down and take up
their residence in Jacksonville.

WASHINGTON, Aug. pa short but
animated debate over the propriety of
granting leaves of absence to members
to go home and make political speeches
was the feature of the house proceed
lngs to-day. The speaker laid before
the house number of requests for
leaves of absence; but Mr. Brecken-
ridge said he felt it his duty to object to
any leaves of absence being granted eX-
cept Oh account of sickness. Mr.. Gros-
yenor stated frankly that he wanted to
go away for ten days to make political
speeches in Maine. Mr.. Breckenridge
persisted in his objection. He wanted
to know whether members might make
political engagements with the ap-
proval of the house. Quite an
animated discussion followed, but
MIR. Grosvenor's request was fin
ally granted. The bill provid-
ing for the printing of government Sc
curities by hand-presses was then taken
up in committee of the whole. Mr.
Foran, of Ohio, and Farquhar, of New
York, spoke in favor of the bill, con-
tending that the work done by steam
presses was inferior to handwOrk, and
was more easily cOunterfeited. With
out dispoSing of the bill, the matter
went over and the ''OklahOma'' bill
was taken up. Mr.. Paysons proposed
an amendment throwing open the lands
to homeSteaders. This was opposed by
Mr.. Springer, but, pending discussion
of the amendment, the house at 5 o'clock
adjourned.

GOOD ENDORSEMENT

After reading the TRADE OF abuse the
hired organs of the Republican party
are hurting at President CLEVELAND
Oh account of his Canadian retaliation
message, it is refreshing to listen to the
sensible talk of a sensible man like eX-
Postmaster General JAMES, whose Re
publicaniSm has always been of the
most stalwart type. When asked by the
New York Herald to give his opinion of
the message, Alr. JAMES replied: Il
think it bold and brave act. 1t is the
message of statesman, not of a politi-
cian-of statesman who has the wei
fare of his country at heart. President
CLEVELAND deserves we'll of his coun-
trymen for hitting Canada hard blow
right between the eyes" Mr.. JAMES
then related discovery he made while
postmaster general of trick the Cana
dians were playing us by appropriating
United States mail bags. His attention
was called to it by noticing in the re-
port of the postmaster general of Canada
a statement of the cost of mail bags in
that country-a ridiculously small sum.
He accordingly sent special agent to
Canada, who found that they were US
ing almost exclusively sacks belonging
to the United States throughout the ell
tire dominion.
Judge COOLEY, chairman of the inter
state commission, expresses the opinion
that the message is an unusually able
document, and as wise as it is able.
The opinions of such men as JAMES
and COOLEY are worth more than the
opinions of all the partisan and subsid-
lied organs in the world.

DoNNELLY sUCCUMRs.

The ruling passion is strong, even in
death. When seventy-five men and one
woman got together yesterday and
nominated IGNATIUS DONNELLY as
their candidate for governor, his judg-
ment was strong against accepting the
nomination, but he couldn't resist the
ruling passion OF his being. an itching
for office, and accepted. As MI. Don
NELLY is one of those men who derive
more pleasure in the pursuit of an OBJ
ject than the possession, he will doubt
less derive considerable comfort and en-
joyment from the nomination. 1t is fair
to admit that Mr.. DoNNELLY will re-
ceive more than seventy-siX votes at
the polls. He will probably be able to
poll somewhat like 5000 to 10000; that
is if the labor unions and ERICK
OLSON stick to him until election day.
Of course, Mr.. DoNNELLY does not ex-
pect to be elected governor, and proba-
bly, does not want to be. That was not
the purpose of the persons who manip-
ulated his nomination. The ultimate
object in view is the capturing of some
votes in the next legislature for the
railroad candidate for United States
senator. MI. DoNNELLY is the Trojan
horse in which the corporations conceal
themselves to invade the camp of the
farmers and the wOrkingmen. He has
played that role once before, and as a
trick cnce discovered is not likely to
prove a success the second time, the
probabilities are that Mr.. DoNNEL1.Y Y
will make more money out of his Crypt
ogram than he will out of his guberna-
tOrial canvass.

GOV. PERRY BLAMED.
To His lnaction Is Largely Due
the Spread of the Plague.

-
ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 2S.-There was
a lively meeting of Jacksonville refu-
gees at their headquarters here to-day,
the subject under discussion being
the action of the railroads in keeping
the people in Jacksonville. P. Walters,
a prominent merchant of Jacksonville,
moved the appointment of committee
to go to Tallahassee and confer
with Gov. Perry ON the situa-
ton. In supporting his motion
MIR. Walters charged that when
Surgeon General Hamilton visited
the scene he came in Savannah, Flor
ida u Western palace car, and when
there is any consultation regarding the
fever, officials of that road always
manage to be present. He charged
that the Savannah. Florida & West
ern company by virtue of its monopoly,
dictated the entire policy of the marine
hospital service. Speaking of Gov.
Perry, Mr.. Walter said that to his mac
tion is largely due the presence of fever
in Jacksonville. If he had created
state board of health and a strict
quarantine, the fever could have
stamped out of Tampa and Manatee
and never would have reached Jack
sonville. The committee was appointed
to go to Tallahassee. They will leave
tomorrow and will try to get the state
authorities to locate the blame for the
present condition of affairs in Jack
SOnYille.

MATTERS OF MONEY.
Senators Engage in a Heated Dis
cussion ofthe Sundry Civil Bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Considera-
tion of the conference report on the
sundry civil bill took up the entire
time of the senate. to-day. The
resolution offered by Mr.. Hoar
last Friday, With Mr.. Edmunds' amend
ment calling on the president for
copies OF correspondence with Great
Britain relative to Canadian troubles,
was adopted. Mr.. Allison then pre-
sented the conference report on the
sundry civil bill, and made long state
ment about provisions OF the bill as
agreed upon in conference, the princi-
pal items Of which were mentioned in
these dispatches last night, and the
points of disagreement between the
senate and house conferences. While
explaining the appropriations for
public buildings, Mr.. Allison, incident,
ally, and with considerable feeling, re-
ferred to the distinction apparently
made by the president in approving
public building bills in Democratic
states, and disappearing similar bills
for buildings in Republican states. A
prolonged and heated discussion then
enSued between Senators Hale, Beck,
Blackburn and Sherman, and pending a
disposition of the conference report the
senate went into secret session, and

A PONsPEIIAN HORROR.
Such Was the Recent Volcanic
Eruption in Japan.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The state
department has received from Minister
Hubbard, at Toxic, an account of trip
recently taken by F. S. Mansfield. the
secretary of the United States legation,
to the scene of the disastrous volcanic
eruption of the mount lin of Badaisanin,
in the province of Iwashiro. The letter
states that the first disturbance was no
ticed on July %. and was followed by
three earthquake shocks ten min
utes apart. Then loud explo-
sion took place, accompanied by
another terrific trembling. The
air became filled with black ashes and
Suffocating sulphurous dust. Many
persons were killed in the great panic
that'ensued. while others died of suffo-
cation. At 5 O'Clock in the afternoon
the eruptions, which lasted seven hours,
entirely ceased. The number of lives
lost was 513, and only seventy bodies
have been recovered. The imperial
government has established hospitals
for the care OF the wounded. In the
villages surrounding the mountain
majority of the houses were thrown
down. The rice crop has been ruined
and the land will probably never be fit
for cultivation again.

FAILING BUILDINGS.

The falling down of the stone build
ing on Robert street yesterday has re-
vived the discussion of very old legal
question as to the rights of property
holders and the privileges that
builder enjoys. However interesting this
question may be to the general public,
and'hOwever perpleXing it may be to the
courts and lawyers, there is another
question of still higher Importance asso-
ciated with this matter. 1t is as to where
tie responsibility lies for permitting
such conditions to exist as in this in
stance, when not only the lives of the
occupants of buildings are being jeop-
ardized, but passengers on the streets
are in immediate danger of being
crushed under falling walls. 1t must
have been apparent to those acquainted
with the character of the ground in that
locality that the work of eXcaVating on
the ENDICOTT property would most
likely result in the falling down of the
STowELL building, especially if the ex-
cavation were made UP TO the line, as was
done. And yet there seems to have
been no one who considered himself
clothed with authority to take steps to
prevent the accident that did occur, and
which had been imminent for days and
days. That no one was buried under
the falling walls is simply proyidential,
and not due to any effort that was made
by those in authority to prevent loss
OF life. 1t is not for the purpose of
prejudicing the rights of any property
owner, or other person interested in any
litigation that may grow out of the acci-
dent. that we indulge in these structures.
We do it simply for the purpose Of call
ing public attention to the necessity
ior adopting some municipal system
whereby the lives of our citizens can be
protected against dangers of this char
acter. If the building inspector is not
already clothed with the authority,
he should be, to take prompt measures
to prevent the recurrence of such acci-
dents as that of yesterday. And in adj
dition thereto there should be system,
such as prevails i'll Chicago and other
cities, of requiring the fire department,
salvage corps, Or some other association
capable of performing the work, to i'm
diately take down the remnants of walls
where part of building has fallen in,
and not to leave them stand as further
menace to human life.
