common sense method OF studying these
southern peoples, find out what they
want, how they want it made, how
packed and shipped. This means that
Americans must wake up and regain
their spirit of enterprise. Mr.. Murphy
believes that even without reciprocity
American goods can be largely and
probably exported 10 those countries
He says: There Is nothing whatever IL
the way of our doing business in the
south excepting what exists here at
home, and that we can remedy. We
have free raw material for all the south
requires. The credit system is as good,
l say better, than our own. We have
ample steamship and mail service. We
have access 10 all the markets of the
south on the same terms as the most ia
vored nation. These advantages are
sufficient TO insure rs a trade of $780,

one. The few able Representatives we
have in the south see no movement on
our part indicating that we want any OF

Wild Beasts Far Sighted.

a curious communication has been made
to the Academic de Medicine by NJ
Motals, OF Anglers, whose works on the
various diseases of the eye are highly Is
teemed. He has closely examined the eff
feet Of captivity on the sight of wild beasts
such as lions, tigers, etc, and asserts that
all animals in savage state are far sighted
The same remark applies TO man in an IN
civilized state, and even to those who
though civilized, follow avocations which
oblige them to remain constantly in the
open air. such as sailors or farm la5orers.
The same faculty subsists in Gagged ami
mails when they have been taken after the
age of 6 or S months; but when born in
captivity, or kept in cages when very
young, they become near sighted. which
NJ. Motais attributes to the narrow space
in which they are confined. and the train
ing which obliges them to follow the eve
of the keeper or tanner to obey his will
The near sightedness of school children
may, in his opinion, be ascribed to the
same cause.-the habit of concentrating tht
sight on one point, and the fact that tht
power Of the visual organ becomes modi
fed according to the requirements TO which

The greatest European soldier of the
last half century died with Count Won
Moltke, and in America the greatest of
his soldier contemporaries were dead be-
fore him. A question that has been fires
quently discussed is whether or not Won
Moltke was greater master of the art of
war and displayed greater military genius
than his American contemporaries. The
discussion was of necessity, says the New
York World commenting on the great
field msrshsls death, q fruitless one. be-
cause the conditions of campaigning in
Europe are so fatally different from those
in America. Won Moltke had studied
the conditions OF war in Europe with as
much thoroughDess and exsctitude as a

transfer of his wife's property, but this
will fall short of his pilferings The
transfer includes the mansion at Fifth

the company had secured mortgages

In consideration of the transfer the
company agrees not to prosecute Hoey.
When asked whether or not any agree =

Mr.. Sanford said the arrangement with
Mr.. Hoey would not affect Mr.. Spooner.
However, he said, he expected that
either Mr.. Spooner or his attorney
would make advances toward resttu-
tion. Mr.. Spooner was seen, but
would not talk. He has been i'll, and
is barely able to be out of bed.
