A Singular. Case.

For four years Mrs. Benjamin
Meyer, of Souderton, Pa, was to-
tally blind. Not long ago she was
taken i'll, SO that she had to stay in
he'd several days. On the fourth
day she awoke in the morning and
exclaimed: Il seeI" Her husband
rushed to the bedside and was re-
cognized. She pointed out different
articles Of furniture in the room,
told different persons what they
were wearing, and in many ways
proved that she saw. She asked
that all her children aud grandchil.
dren, twenty-five in all, come to her
bedside, and they did. She told
them that she had earnestly prayed
that she might see them all once
before she died, and this was the
answer to her prayer. Then she
said: "Tkis is the last day that I
shall ever have the use of my eye
sight" She awoke the next morn
ing as blind as ever, and has been
so ever since.

Who Is the Elagiarist.

We published some time since
letter from Mrs. @. C. Jones, of
Abbeville, Vermilion parish, La,
averring that she is the author of
that popular and charming poem,
"What My Lover Said," which has
at times been popularly attributed
to the late DR.. Greeley, to Richard
Realf: and to Homer Greene, of
Honesdale; and since then the ques.
ton has been elabosately considered
in various journals, and more or less
light has been shed upon it. The
most important essay, however, is
that which we copy this morning
from the Wilkcs.Barre News. Dealer,
to which paper it was contributed
by Mr.. j. Andrew Boyd, of Ashley.
1t contains a letter from Mr.. Greene
renewing the assertion OF his own
authorship, and offering to give the
cottage in which he resides at Homes.
dale, and which is worth fifteen
thousand dollars, as a reward to any
one who will produce a copy of the
poem printed in any publication pre-.
vious to November l9, 1875.
Mrs. Jones, on the other hand,
says that she wrote the poem imme.
diateIy after the surrender of Vicks.
burg, at the end of the war in 1865.
when she returned to reside in that
town; and she refers to clipping
from paper Of that year in which
this poem is contained. The clip,
ping, however, she does not produce
because it is in the possession of the
Times Democrat of New Orleans.
Colonel Page NJ. Baker, the distin.
guished editor of that journal de-
clines to submit this piece of
evidence to Mr.. Boyd at present,
because he wishes to reserve it for
o publication which he intends to
make in his own columns at no dis
tant day. ~at
30 tnls important literary dispute
stands at present; and. while we
have great respect for Mr.. Greene,
we must say that the case of Mrs.
0. G. Jones seems to be pretty
strong and pretty we'll fortified. If,
in publishing his view of the ques-
ton, Colonel Baker should prove
that newspaper extract of the
year 1865 containing this poem is in
existence, we can tell Mr.. Greene
that his stock will sink below par
whether Baker claims his cottage
or not, and that Mrs. Jones will be
universally recognized as the author
of that sweet piece Of melody and
sentiment. 1t looks as though the
case might be against Bro. Greene.

Important Change in the Boilers for Our

WAsHSaroN May 4-Secretary Tracy
has determined to give coil steam boilers
practical trial to test their value for use
In large naval vessels. Secretary Whit
ney took the preliminary steps toward
such trial, and some manufacturers
built boilers for the trial, but as the end
OF the administration was drawing near,
the project was dropped. Coil boilers
have provel very successful in small
boats, but they have not passed the exper-
mental state in large vessels,
although the French government
has placed them in q number Of war ships
Part OF the steam power for the armored
coast defense vessel Is TO be generated by
this type of boiler II will be q long time,
however, before the boilers Of the coast de-
