Diphtheria of the Eye.
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
A disease known as diphtheria o.
the eye has lately shown itself IN tht
vicinity of Boston. AS yet 1T has moi
gained much headwav, hut eye
specialists are on the lookout tor such
cases, in the hope that It's progress
may be effeciually checked.
In conversation with Leading eye
physician of this city day or two
since it was found that the disease up
to the present time has been very
rare one, but a very few cases being
known to him in the past eight or
nine years years in this part OF the
country. These, however, have in
nearly every instance, resulted in the
loss of the member affected, and often
in the loss of the entire sight.
The disease, which is considered a
very serious one, is peculiar to Ger
many, in the the vicinity of Berlin,
where many people have suffered
from its effects. In nature it is pre-
cisely the same as throat diphtheria,
and may be caused by coming In con-
tact with that disease, If the person
ewes have been at all sore or lnflamed
from any cause.
At the present time there is one
case under treatment at the Massa-
chusetts Eye and Ear infirmary, on
Charles street, this city, the patient
being little girl; but, as it is a COM
paratively new case, hopes are en- ,er-
tanned that it may not result serious
ly, and that her present impaired
sight may be restored.
The most difficult trouble encount-
cred in the treatment of this disease
by the specialist is to keep the I'M
affected member tightly hooded, that
it may not draw he Inflammation
from the diseased eye to itself, for, if
this should happen, there would be
scarcely any hope of the patient re-
covering.
AS yet there Is no cause for extreme
alarm, as most cautionary measures
are being taken to reach these cases
before they shall be impaired to
others

The DRsxEI BROTHERS.
o~zh Gossips About Philadeiphia's Multi
Millionaire Bankers-

Millionaire bankers
The house of Drexel arose IN Phiis-
delphia somewhat earlier than that Of
Jay Cooke, commencing with Tyrolese
artist who painted pictures and shaved
notes and currency. Upon careful
foundations, writes Cath" IN the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, he raised a house
which at the decay of Jay Cooke seized
upon many great occasions and, drawing
in such men as Mr.. MCSgan, OF New En-.
gland, began to play vast intermediate
part between railroads and investment
and general financial directions. The
fortunes of the three Drexel brothers,
though not as large as some fortunes in
New York City, have been in the aggre-
gate probably SIS. 600, 600 to S5O, 600, 900.
These bankers were wise in drawing
young blood into their departments and
buying experience as princes formerly
bought great military commanders. The
Drexels have recently absorbed the
Stock Exchange Of Philadelphia into
their huge marble block which they
have put up on Chestnut street op-
posite the old Hall OF Congress, and be-
tween that and the Bank Of the United
States, which still stands and is the
American custom-house. A portion Of
that ground was covered by the Phila-
delphia library which Franklin founded
and before which his statue stood. 1
know of no American city where the
lawyers Offices seem to extend so many
miles as in Philadelphia; they commence
down by the old and now effete Stock
Exchange on Third street and can be
followed up Walnut street nearly to
Broad. The civil war finding PhGadel-
phia far out upon its frontier, since
Baltimore sulked at the recovery Of the
Union, electrified the former city, alb
sorbed all its functions, and hence TO the
present day the politics Of Pennsylvania
Is as much directed by the war on the
one side as the politics of Virginia by
the opposite side.

How an Oshkosh WIS., Miser Rewarded
the Good Little Boys.
There Is miserly old lady living n
Oshkosh, says the Times Of that city,
who, it is believed, judging from cir
cumstances, has chests and chests Of
gold secreted in her house somewhere.
She is so penurious and hates 20 part
with her money so bad, that when she
is compelled from absolute necessity to
buy the necessaries of life she walks TO
the store farthest from her house so
that she can keep in her possession the
money that must be spent for food q
little longer, and pays for her purchase
with more reluctance than Isaac Of
York could command while parting
with his gold.
1t is told Of this old lady that one
day, while counting over some money, .
hye-cent piece dropped in a big wood
box filed with wood, shavings, etc. She
searched for an hour in vain, and was
almost distracted by the loss, when $
bright thought struck her. She would
have a couple of little boys, who were
playing near the house, seek it. Ac-
eordingly she called them in and told
them that if they wonld find the money
which had dropped in the wood-box she
would give them each cent. The
youngsters, eager to earn the price of 5
stick of candy, went willingly to work.
and after hunting for about two hours
gave howl Of delight when they dis
covered the missing coin
The old woman eagerly snatched II
from them and, after carefully deposit
ing it in her pocket-book, called them
dear little children and said they well
earned their reward. She then went
into another room, brought out =
bottle that had once been filled with
perfume. and gave each one Of the boys
a scent OF the lingering odOr, after
which she called them dear little dsr-
hngs again and told them 20 run away
now and play. The little fellows were
