Blinded Through Vanity.

About a year ago one of the
most lovely girls in the State lived
at 40 Orange avenue in this city,
says the Evansville Times. A pair
of large, liquid blue eyes set off a
face that would put any picture to
shame, and her form was simply
perfect. The young lady was
highly educated and possessed all
the qualities that 60 to make up a
society belle. Her parents are
we'll to do, and she has wanted for
nothing since she was old enough
to prattle. But she had n fault,
and that fault has proved her un-
doing. 1t is called vanity. She
fairly worshiped her own eyes, and
did everything in her power to
make them more beautiful than
they were. She used numerous
drugs before she found what she
wanted. This last drug made her
eyes sparkle like diamonds, and
she used it to such an extent that
her right eye began to shrivel. This
brought her to her senses, and
the family physician was called in.
But he came too late, and informed
the poor cir. that she must lose
one of her eyes sure. and probably
both. The right eye was taken
out some time ago, and she has lost
all sight in the left, and will be
blind for life.

A GENE r E
Negroes Marched to the Polls IN
Line and Voted by Their
Bosses.

At halfpast seven O'Clock Tues
day a line composed of about
fifty colored men marched from the
rooms of the colored Republican
club ON South Jefferson street, and
going to the Court House in single
file, deposited their ballots at the
polls, under the direction of their
bosses, white and black.
The scheme as devised a week or
two since was not carried out.
When the bosses first suggested the
plan of voting in a body, a large
number of colored men were eager
in their support of the idea. They
ceased to be 80 Jealous within a
few days, however, and after sober
thought, many refused to have any.
thing to do with the arrangement.
So it was that only half a hundred
colored men submitted to being
marched to the polls in convict
style and voted.
The second negro to face the vot.
ing window was Immediately chal.
lenged by a bystander.
"That man is an ex-convict,'
said the gentleman, "and he ough'
to be in Jefferson now"
The colored men mumbled al
answer and worked his way out O
the crowd to allow the next negro
to deposit his ballot. The white
and black bosses stood by, greedily
watching the men as they voted
As the last of the hirellngs deposit
ed his vote, they left, apparent,
satisfied with their work of co
ercion.
