The Battle Of Gettysburg and the Siege
OF Paris have been shown for several
years on opposite sides Of Hubbard

large dividends. Each was advertised
as the work Of celebrated French
artists, father and son. and the popular
idea is that these gentlemen painted
them. The fact 10 that, beyond q

was probably faithfully made after
maps procured from authentic sources,
and general direction Of the plan OF
the work. the artist-in-chief had very
little to do with it. No man engaged
In battle sees it, and an accurate
painting Of two armies in combat
is impossible. The general features
only are known. For instance. In the
Gettysburg painting there are accur-
ately defined the roads, Crown Hill.

In which memorable charge was
made, one or two buildings which
were headquarters OF the leading Gem

the topography Of the country is de-
picted with excellent perspective. But
the details Of the battle, the actual
clash OF arms between this and that
division or brigade, is left good deal
to the imagination. The artist-in-
chief hires some men to put in the sky.
other men to put in the trees and
foliage, other men to put in the men in
action. Attention is paid to develop

The Rev. +. X. Donehoo, secretary Of
the Pittsburgh association which r'c-
poses to erect an institution for the in
struction of the blind, has received
remarkable letter from Alden +. Hays,
a prominent blind citizen Of Sewickley
The letter is in the clear and pretty
characters of the typewriter, and was
written upon the machine by that gen.
tleman himself. In it Mr.. Hays briefly
tells Mr.. Donehoo his own history, to
show what wonders may be worked
among the blind people by education.
He was for eight years a pupil in the
Philadelphia Institution for the Blind,
where SO many blind boys and girls
from Allegheny were trained. He is
now man of about thirty-eight years
OF age. His career since leaving school
and his present mode of life present
some marvellous facts. A few of these
he relates to Mr.. Donehoo as an evil
dence Of the bright future that is pos
sible for every blind person, II school
ing advantages were only more COM
mon.
Mr.. Hays is a son Of the brilliant
General Alexander Hays, whose horoic
services in the late war ended with
death in the Wilderness. He is now,
and has been for several years past, \
coal merchant, supplying most OF
Sewickley with fuel. He conducts the
entire business himsolf-without cler-
ical assistance.
He is totally blind. yet he writes all
his own orders by typewriter for coal
from the mine operators. takes the car
numbers when the cal arrives; weighs
the coal by the wagon-load for custo-
mers; gives the drivers properly filed
out tickets, or makes out the receipts;
receives money, counts it, and makes
change; keeps set of books; walks to
and from his home without company.
and in fact goes anywhere in Sewickley
by himself and without cane.

eighteen years past he has been organ
iss sn the Presbyterian church, and he
still takes every Friday afternoon from
his business to rehearse the music for
this church on Sabbaths. Pittsburgh

CURE foR BLINDNESS.


An Operation which Relieves the Brain
and Restores Sight.
English surgeons have devised q new
and beneficent operation by which the
sheath Of the optic nerve behind the
eye is opened and not only is the pres
sure upon the nerve removed, and to-
tai. or almost total. blindness cured,
but the brain itself is relieved. The
membranes which invest the brain,
and are continued down to the eye in
the form OF a sheath which surrounds
the optic nerve. secrete a certain
amount OF fluid. and whenever there Is
an excess of this secretion, or by other
means, as by the growth Of brain
tumor, the pressure within the cavity
OF the brain is increased, SUPER
abundance Of fluid is apt to find its
way down the nerve sheath to the leyel
of the eye, subjecting the optic nerve
to injurious pressure and frequently
destroying the sight. This blindness
may be permanent. even though the
pressure in the brain cavity which
causes it be only temporary and be
cured. DIR. Dewecker, Of Paris. six
teen or seventeen years ago, suggested
that it was possible to open the
optic-nerve sheath, and thus not only
to relieve the nerve from pressure,
but also to drain the brain cav
ity and relieve the brain pressure
there. He made two experiments in
this line upon two nearly hopeless
cases, but he tried to feel his way to
the nerve without the aid Of sight, and
to cut the sheath by means Of an in
strument carrying a concealed knife
which was projected by means Of .
spring. Only one other attempt of this
sort was made, and the results not
being satisfactory, the experiment.
were dropped until last year. DR..
Brudenell Carter, Of London, devised q
method of operating by which the
sheath was exposed to view, and every
step OF the operation was guided by
the surgeons eye. In a paper read
before the British Medical Association
at its recent meeting at Glasgow. DIR
Carter told OF four cases in which h
had performed the operation. In ont
the result was negative. 50 far as tn
sight was concerned; in the other thre'
the patients were not only quickly re
stored to sight, but were relieved o.
cured OF headache and sickness arising
from pressure on the brain. DR.. Car
ter claims that the new operation coul'
be performed with certainty and with
out risk either to life or to any i'm
portant structure.
DR.. Bickerton, of Liverpool, at tn
saae meeting said that after hearing
OF DR.. Carriers first case, he has per
formed the operation himself In tw'
cases. in one of which temporary res
toration of sight was followed by re
lapse, but in the other one the result
was favorable. N. Y. Cor. Chicdg
