MATCHING A GREAT FRAUD.

Word comes from Kansas City that
a gang of adroit swindlers is prepar-
ing to food Eastern cities with
fraudulent bonds of counties in
southwestern Kansas and north
western Texas Bankers there have
been receiving inquiries from the east
for several weeks in regard to bonds
of various Kansas and Texas coun-
ties, most of which have not been
listed here In the northwestern
corner of the Pan Handle of Texas is
an immense grazing ground and this
country is selected as the seat of OPP
erations The swindlers make their
headquarters in some small town,
procure signatures to petitions for
the establishment of counties, file
their petition with the secretary of
state and get the boundary lines es-
tablished and hold bogus elections
at which bonds are voted. A high
rate of interest is promised and the
bonds are listed considerably below
par The agencies are established
where the bonds are sold to the
smaller class of investors, who are
persuaded that large returns will
follow the investments in the worth
less securities. The authorities OF
Texas have about run the swindlers
to earth, but are holding off until
they have sufficient evidence to break
up the gang.

A difference of Opinion.

Senator Sherman comes home from
Europe with the opinion that the
low wages and misery of the work
ing classes abroad amply vindicate
thevote of last fall in favor of protec-
ton against this labor. But the
workingmen of the Scripps league
came back with the opinion that the
European laborer works shorter
hours than the American, has more
holidays, is aided by more clumsy
machinery and altogether is much
less efficient, leaving small cause for

STRANGE SURGICAL EXPERIMENT.

A Bridgeport artist recently consul
ted a specialist about one of his eyes,
which had been paining him intense
1y. The doctor ascribed the irrita-
ton to the presence of some foreign
substance, and when a superfcial-ex-
amina ton failed to locate it he deer
mined it would be necessary to take
the eye out. He temporarily depriv-
ed the organ of all feeling by spray
ing it with cocaine and then forced
out the eye-ball. A cinder was found
to be the trouble This was removed
and the eye replaced in its socket.
The operation was entirely painless,
but the feature about it which struck
the subject as absolutely ludicrous
was the fact that while the eye-ball
was lying on his cheek he could see
with it the ear on that side, the pow
er of vision being fully retained.
With the other eye he also obtained
a full view of the eye that was rest
ing on his cheek. The cocaine caus-
ed dilation of the pupil to nearly
twice its natural size, and this condl-
ton remained for some time after
the operation.

GENERALS THE SOLDIERS

There were three men avho 'haS /.
peculiarly strong hold upon our
corps, rank and file, especially upon
the common soldier They were
Mcclellan, Sedgwick, and Sheridan.
McClellan's attractiveness was due
almost wholly to his assidous care of
his army He made the army feel
that he had kindly personal inter
est in them, that first Of all he was
bound to have them we'll fed and
well clothed Then he was very
democratic in his bearing towards
the common soldier. A soldier new
er saluted without a return OF the
salute, as every officer was bound to
do. But McClellan's salute was not
formal, but always kindly. | was not

his leadership, but used to hear fire.
campfire gossip. Sedgwick's attrac-
ton lay in his humanness and COM
monness or LONELINESS. He was
without the least pretension of
haughtiness. He wore the common
soldiers uniform as often as any
other, in winter as we'll as in time OF
campaigning. A stranger entering
his headquarters would be likely to
salute some self-important subaltern
as the chief officer. Anecdotes of
such mistakes as this were the Cos
sips of the camp. Sedgwick held his
place at the head of the corps as
though he had been chosen from the
ranks by unanimous vote to take the
| lead. His care of his men was untir-
ing. while his chief concern was to
have them do good service in battle.
Sheridan drew men to him by his
mastery, das11ing generalship. He
had the caution of Mcclellan, the
persistence of Grant, the skill OF
Sedgwick, and celebrity of action,
power of seeing and selling the
golden opportunity, a faculty OF
'getting a twist" on the enemy
peculiarly his own. Gen. Sheridan
was equal to every emergency III

all the campaigns in which he had
the sole command, he hardly made &

unsurpassed by any commander II

A MIRAGE ON THE PLAINS.

We witnessed the most perfect mir
age we ever saw on the Laramie
plains Tuesday evening. 1t was
about an hour before sunset, and
looking out of a car window we saw
about mile away a beautiful lake.
1t was in slight depression among
the hills, and seemed to be about
two miles long by a mile wide. New
er having noticed lake at that place
on the road, we were considerably
astonished, and asked the conductor
for an explanation. He was equally
astonished, as were passengers tam1l-
lar with the road AS the train adj
vanced the lake appeared to enlarge
and rise, but in spite of this it was
difficult to believe the appearance
was simply that optical delusion
known as mirage, and that what APP
peared to be a lake was a grassy,
level plain. The apparent lake was
as smooth and bright as a mirror,
except at one edge, where it appeared
to be ruffled by the wind. The
strange sight was viewed with Won
der by hundreds of passengers until
it was out of sight.-[Rock Springs
