1xsranr loss oE SIGHT.

A middle-aged man, with slightly
gray hair and mustache, standing in
the Post oonnting-room last evening,
his crippled legs reinforced by a pair OF
crutches, was suddenly, without,
a moments premonition, stricken
stone blind. He was MI. Henry Dodge,
of No. oil Fourth street. He had just
got a copy of yesterdays paper, and had
scarcely rested his eyes on it when the
paper dropped from his hands, and ne
covered his eyes with them and cried:
"Mv God! I'm struck blind"
He leaned on the counter and sobbed.
his shoulders shaking, and tears from
his sightless eyes streaming through his
fingers.
Nj. Dodge wears on his breast the
bronze emblem of the Grand Army OF
the Republic. A wound he received IN
the army had injured his spinal cord.
From the effects of the wound he mas
never recovered, and some time ago ne
suffered a partial stroke OF paralysis
His sudden blindness probably is attrlo-
utable to the same cause. He felt no
pain, he said, but his eyes were as
siehtless as though they had been
plucked out. Policeman Boyce was

A Happy GO-Lucky Fellow.

The negro in Florida and through the
South is ignorant, superstitious and has
only q child's mind. He is good ma
tured and %contented, and while he has
little conscience, he has no nerves. For
this reason the South has no fear of
serious instruction, for he would be
too cowardly to execute his plans. The
Negroes powers OF imitation are good,
but the gift of reasoning is absent. Still
he is happy, and with a controlling in
f%luence, makes a useful citizen and a
devoted servant. The South could no
move live without the negro than the
negro without the South. He is the
background to the ideal Southern pic
ture-a happy, contented creature,
laughing, talking, singing and enjoy
ing to-day with no thought of the flu
ture. He makes his money this morn
ing and spends it tonight in a happy,
go-lucky, don't-care-for-to-morrow way,
and shirks his work at every oppor-
tunity. Every Florida town has on the
outskirts a negro settlement reri-
table Hayti. Here, scattered about,
are the small cabins or shanties, pens
for the pet pigs, chicken coops, mewing
caCS, Snuue, IuelauC1oly OoSS, "Ilie
%pickaninnies of all ages and sizes crawl
and lay about in picturesque confusion.
Here, every evening, the music Of the
banjo and fiddle is heard. The gray
haired uncles and aunties of to-day we're
all slaves, and as they sang the old
plantation melodies, the memory of q
happy careless past comes to many of
them. Many of the old patriarchs say:
"When I was n slave missus clothed me
and massa fed me; now, in my old days,
I know not where the next meal will
come from"
Twenty-Five years of freedom has
made little improvement in him, and we
can only hope for a better day when ed
ucation and true religion shall take the
place Of the ignorance and the super
stition of the sluggish African. A hoe
cake and q fiddle make the negro &
king among men. In fact, in his in
difference to every ordinary ambition,
he may be likened to Diogenes, differ
ing in that the tub is under Aunt
Chloe's domain, and he does not care so
long as nothing comes between the sun
light that dries the white folks

The Tomb OF Cleopatra.


The tomb supposed to be that Of
Cleoptra, lately discovered in Egypt,
was found at a depth Of twenty-five feet
from the surface in a chamber ten feet
long and two and one-half feet wide and
lofty in proportion. The sarcophagus
was built in the form Of q pyramid, and
covered with exquisite carvings, among
them being five female figures, five
crowns Of laurel and four figures of
children. Some OF the latter are ell"
tirely nude, while others are draped.
In the center of each Of the crowns a
bunch of grapes is carved. At last &C
counts the discoveries were awaiting
the arrival of an Egyptian official to
formerly open the neutrality-suspicious.

SEALS DISAPPEARING,
Slow Diplomatic Negotiations Likely to Re
suit in their Being Wiped Out.

Slow Diplomatic Negotiations Likely to Re
suit in their Being Wiped Out.
WASHINGTON, Oct 17.-Official reports
received at the Treasury Department
from Special Agent Golf, in charge Of
the seal island fisheries, are of a most
discouraging character. They state
that poaching has been carried on this
season to such an extent as actually to
threaten the life of the seal industry as
a source of revenue to the United States
in the future and, if persisted in to the
same extent next season, to endanger
its very existence. Because of the
alarming extent to which poaching has
been carried on the number of seals al.
lowed to be captured by the North
American Commercial Company, which
holds a lease of St George and ST. Paul
islands, was limited by the Treasury
Department to 90. 900 isseason, though
their contract called for CO. coo.
1t IS estimated by the Treasury De-
partment officials familiar with the
poaching operations in the Behring sea
that fully 60, 900 seals have been cap
tured unlawfully this season. These
seals are shot in the open ocean and not
more than one in six shot is secured.
This would represent a slaughter of
800, 600 seals which have been wantonly
killed and whose skins have never been
recovered. 1t is not thought that the
seal can long withstand this slaughter,
as the seals are killed indiscriminately,
without regard to age, sex or breeding
season.
At this time only one revenue cutter,
the Bear, is at the Seal islands The
Rush arrived yesterday at San Francisco
and the Corwin is now at Port Townsend.
Several naval vessels are still in the re-
gion Of the Seal islands, but pending
negotiations between the
United States and Great Britain in re-
gard to the fisheries question general
ly, both on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, little aggressive action has been
taken by naval officers for fear of
further complicating the situation. In
the meantime the seals are fast disap-
pearing from the Behring sea.

cases and on the McCullom seven. On
the McCullom the men were in horrible
condition, their bodies being covered
with running sores and their gums black
and swo len. The sailors say that dur
ing the voyage of 154 days they had not
tasted vegetables of any Sort and the
meat given them was putrid. Two of
the men, James Masure and Thomas
Hayes, as result of the disease had be-
come blind. During the voyage of the

A LEVEL HEAD.
Tho Advantage of Presence Of Mind In
an Emergency

Tne Advantage of Presence Of Mind In
an Emergency.
During the late strike on the New York
central Railroad, the militia were ordered
to be in readiness in case of riot, but they
were not called out.
In an interview, Gov. Hill said the troops
were not to be called upon except in case Of
an emergency. The emergency had not
arisen, therefore they would not be ordered
out. He remarked that this was the first
great strike with which he had had ex-
perience, and he did not propose to lose his
head; the only point at which there had
been serious trouble was at Syracuse, and
there deputy-sherif had lost his head and
precipitated an encounter
The strike continued several weeks. and
there was riotous action at various points
along the road, but the civil authorities
were able to cope with it without calling on
the militia.
The test Of mans real ability comes when
an emergency arises which makes hasty
call on his good judgment and discretion
The man who retains his presence Of mind,
maintains his equipoise and exercises sound
discretion at such critical junctures, is to
be relied on and will be put to the front.
Men with level heads have the staying
qualities which do not falter IN the face of
danger. Otis A. Cole, of Kinsman, O,
June 10, 1890, writes: I'm the fall Of 1883
was feeling very i'll consulted doctor
and he said had Bright's disease Of the
kidneys and that he would not stand in my
shoes for the state Of Ohio" But he did
not lose courage or give up; he says: ~
saw the testimonial of Mr.. John Coleman,
100 Gregory ST., New Haven, Conn, and I
wrote to him. In due time I received an
answer, stating that the testimonial that
he gave was genuine and not overdrawn in
any particular. took good many bottles
of Warmers Safe Cure; have not taken any
for one year."
Gov. Hill is accounted very successful
man he is cool and calculating and belongs
to the class that do not lose their heads
when emergencies arise.

Insurance Against Disease.

In certain instances there have been ar
rangements made between physician and
the head of a family that a fixed an cunt
should be paid for each day the various
health. But should sickness enter tie
household, the physicians usual st pend
was discontinued. Such an agreement is
founded on common sense, for we don
want to be made well, we want TO be kept
resulting from want of careful
attention to bodily requirements. Keep
the blood pure, keep the functional habits
OF the body regular, counterfeit the effects
of exposure by always having a bottle Of
hold and using it in anticipation of an at
tack Of illness or when the very first symp
toms are manifest. Disease will not trouble
you if you will heed this good advice. 1t is
an excellent preventive of disease and de-
cay, as well as a safe cure.-MariOnB Banner.
