If Warren had the opposition of his

THE SLOT OPERA-GLAss.

Diseases of the Eye Contracted Through
Its Use.
''The introduction of tho drop-a-dime-
in-the-slot opera-glasses into the the
aters has probably done more to injure
the eyes of the users than any one
thing. These opera-glasses generally
are worth about $1S per dozen, and for
inferiority in finish and quality of lenses
they can not be surpassed. This, how
ever, is of not so much Importance to
the public as the injurious and dan
gerous diseases that may be taken
from one user to the other. 1t is an
acknowledged fact that number of
eye diseases may be contracted by
bringing the eye in contact with towels,
handkerchiefs, or any thing the afflicted
! may have used around the eyes. What
then would be the effect if tonight a
person with such a disease uses one OF
these opera-glasses, and particle of
the secret ton adheres to the eye-piece,
and tomorrow night it comes in con-
tact with healthy eye? Could not
the infectious particle come in contact
| with healthy eve as easy as it could
be left by an unhealthy one? 1t is use-
less to answer these questions In New
York City children with eye diseases
are prohibited from entering tho baths
for fear that the water will be contain
mated and the diseases thereby con-
veyed to others, and, although precau-
tions are taken, scarcely a season passes
without an epidemic among the great
upwashed. But very few have heard of
disease caused by the use of the opera
glass in the theaters. Why is this so :?
| because those becoming afflicted do not
have thought that an opera-glass
they have used is the cause. A physi-
clan will ask them if they have use d
towels or other articles that have been
used by others with sore eyes, but he
does not ask them about the use of an
opera-glass. and therefore the source of
disease in o large number of cases is
unaccounted for.-Jewelers' Circular.

WONDERFUL MECHANISM
lROt Machines which Perform the Par

| Ilot Machines which Perform the Part

cial comment on our part Hardly a
railway station or place of popular
resort where the public may have few
unoccupied minutes of waiting, but is
furnished with one or more of the lat est
products of mechanical genius, Offering
Its various wares in exchange for a
trifiing fee. Report has it that these
inventions produce handsome returns,
and certainly the low-working expenses
incurred should conduce to render them
good investment for their proprietors.
| A new form of automatic machine has
recently been perfected, and should
shortly be in active operation, which,
as regards the complicated process it
performs automatically, far surprising
any thing yet achieved in this branch
Of mechanical science. The now autom.
atom will take instantaneous photo
graphs, delivering finished prints of the
same in forty-fve seconds. Such re-
suit. more especially when secured for
the tri fling sum of one penny, may we'll
be considered marvellous.
The process may be briefly sketched.
Tho patron of this latest mechanical
triumph, after duly placing the penny in
the slot provided for the purpose, takes
his stand in front of the lens, fitted into a
substantial box, and adjusts his position
by small looking-glass placed above
the lensss He leans against post or rail
placed some three feet from tho ma
chine, and in about five seconds the
ringing of bell announces the compile
ton of his sitting, while forty seconds
subsequently his photograph is deliv-
cred to him by the machine, requiring
only half minutes exposure to the sun
or lighted match to dry and finish it
An additional halfpenny placed in an.
other slot procures a frame for the pho
ograph thus obtained. The plates arc
ON tin plate, and measure one inch by
one and half, each machine being con-
structed to furnish five hundred prints
before requiring replenishing.
The exact process through which the
plate passes from the time its exposure
to that of it's delivery to the pur-
chaser are not made public, form
ing, in fact, along with tho
precise nature of the chemicals
employed, the patents and secret
of the invention. Suffice it to the point
out that it may be assumed that the de-
veloping, fixing and working incidental
to all Photographic reproduction are
carried out by mechanical arrange
ments, inside the box carrying the lens,
which forms the dark room for these
operations.
A recent public demonstration of this
wonderful piece of mechanism is stated
to have furnished results in ever par
ticular most satisfactory; and certainly

difficulties to contend against in Crap

| uTs of remembering that pleasure was
always attended with pain. But Helen
had an all-powerful panaeea to mental
troubles in ambitious work. There
was enough to keep her mind and
| hands busy. Then all her hours of re-
creation were spent with her afflicted
! brother. If she found herself dreaming
/ ambitious dreams in which Warren Stu
art was her hero, she Immediately BAN
ished them from her mind, and applied
| herself industriously to her household
duties. Warren frequently of an even
| ing came to the rear porch, with a book
or paper, for he said it was the coolest
place, being on the east side of the L,
/ which formed the kitchen; but some
/ how Warren never read his book or
paper, but spent his time in talking
with Helen or amusing Amos. The
little cripple grew quite fond of him,
and used to call him frequently against
! the protests of his sister, who blushed
! profuscly in spite of herself when War
| rem came.
! The afternoons were usually en-
I ployed by Helen in sewing for Mrs.
j Stuart, for she was 'handy with the
; needle" Nearly every afternoon found
4 Warren there also, unless his father
, and mother devised some plan to keep
him away.
| Poor Helen-she was blamed; al
though she did nothing to encourage
the young physician.
Mr.. Stuart said he thought when he
sent Warren to college it would make
him know more than ordinary mortals.
but where pretty face was concerned
he was about as big a fool as any other
boy.
! Deludcd man, did he suppose love
could be educated out of the human
heart, and did he suppose he could add
one atom of wisdom to love-sick
youth?
| Warren's parents did not forbid his
, frequent attentions to Helen in direct
! words; they were too wise for that; but
they did every thing they could to dis
courage them, and cried to find some
: thing for him to do to keep him away
from the kitchen. Mr.. Stuart grew
sullcn, and even cross, to the little Grip
pied boy whom he had fondled and
pctted before. Mrs. Stuart, good wom-
an, was kind to both Helen and her
little brother. She knew it was not the
poor girls fault.
Helen was quick to perceive that
Warren'S manner toward her was caus-
ing his parents uneasiness, and appre-
ciatcd the fact that hired girl for a
daughtcr-in-law fell far below the ambi-
ton of the Stuarts. She kept away
from church for two Sabbaths, and
when she went on the third, Warren,
who had set parental vigilance at def
ancc, overlook her and accompanied
her to church against her protest. On
the way home she sought to avoid con-
vcrsation with him, but rs they paused
at the rear gate he caught her hand and
said:
"Hclcn, 1 love you, can't help it =;
I don't care if the whole world knows
it. Do You love me in return ?"
She cast y frightened, appealing
glance in his face, full of mild entreaty,
and said "Oh do not talk so. it is
it is wicked" and bursting into tears
broke away from him and ran to the
kitchen.

"Well, Tn glad you have" said
Mrs. Stuart, bringing her to the sit
ting-room and offering her the best
rocking chair.
Mrs. Arnold was the heightened Cos
sip of the ncighborhood. She knew all
about the "first weddings" that were
to "come off" long before anybody
else. She did not mix up much with
scandal, leaving that for the mother
Tantrums and Grundys to attend to,
but she was authority on dress and
rumor. 1t was no easy matter to
breach the subject of her errand, and
Mrs. Arnold found the evening half
spent and it had not been alluded to.
1t must be done, and she began nerving
herself for the task. Mrs. Arnold was
u woman of no little courage, but how
to speak to this quiet, self-possessed
yet confiding Mrs. Stuart, so as to make
her words effective, was a puzzle to her.
AT last she did it. 1t was after long
spell of trying to pick up n dropped
stitch, when she laid her knitting in
her lap and elevating her nose in the
air so as to look under her spectacles.
she started out:
"Do you know the talk that is goin'
round about Warren P"
NO" answered Mrs. Stuart, in sur
prise. The two ladies were alone, and
Mrs. Arnold moved her chair up little
nearer to her neighbor and said:
"People say he's going to marry"
"Marry-marry who?" asked Mrs.
Stuart.
Your hired girl" There was just
the least contempt in the answer.
Its false; I don't believe it," said
Mrs. Stuart, with indignation.
"Now, Mrs. Stuart, 1 want you to
forgive me if seem to be meddlin'
with your family affairs, but assure
you what am goin' to say say out
of my strong friendship and desire for
your happiness.
"What do you mean P" asked the
terrified Mrs. Stuart. "Please tell me
what it is"
"Well, there is danger of Warren
being carried away by that girl"

''Do you know any wrong of herg''
''Well, she is no better than she
ought to be. I know that" and Mrs.
Arnold rocked back in her chair with
that air of reserved information so
gratifying to a tattler.
'.Mrs. Arnold, wish you would tell
me what there is against Helen Lake

son in my house who has q blot upon

There's only rumors from where
she came, but these, of course, couldn't

it's best to say nothin' about it; but she
has determined to become your daugh-
ter-in-law."

But heard it confirmed by others. ="
"Well, then, Mrs. Stuart don't know
it; l Know they know nothing about it.
It's my duty to go and tell them"
"Yes, and have them say you are
meddling with other peoples business, :"
said Halle, tears of Indignation rising
in her eyes.
Halle was in fact almost in despair
She had struggled so long to get the
"best catch" in Sandy Fork in her net,
and just as she thought she had sue
ceeded, to have him triumphantly led
away by hired girl was too much.
II don't care what they say" said
Mrs. Arnold, "I'm going to do my
duty-f people don't thank me for it

Mrs. Arnold was sure that it was a
mere matter of duty. She was not
actuated by any selfish notions, but
acted wholly from sense of duty as a
neighbor. She was satisfied that that
hired girl was not as good as she ought
to be, and that she was silently playing
a deep game, though how she became
satisfied on this point we do not know.
That afternoon she arrayed herself in
her dark-brown dress, changed her
steel-bowed spectacles for her gold
ones and put on her large, rounded
bonnet which she wore to "meetin'."
Mrs. Stuart met her at the door, shook
hands with her and asked her in.

Special to the Jerseg City Neus-
TRENTON, July IL, 1s91.-Supreme Court
Justice Scudder has filed an opinion In
the case Of Paul Allen against the State.
on appeal from Hudson county. The
question involved and settled was the
right of railroad companies to cross
streets of cities and villages, and he
Court decides that they have the right.
Paul Allen, an employe OF the Erie Rail-
road, was arrested in Jersey City for tear
ing up the public streets and laying
tracks without first obtaining the permits
sion OF the Board of Aldermen. He was
found guilty of violating a city ordinance.
aud the case was taken TO the Supreme
Court on certioari.
The Supreme Court holds that a rail-
road company, under its charter. has
power to lay oct and construct a railroad,
aud cross streets within the line OF the
road, without any special grant to that
effect.
Any municipal corporation, however,
has power to regulate the use of streets
by railroads, providing there is no inter
ference with the exercise of the franchise
Of the corporation given by the Legisla-
ture. When a city ordinance prohibits
the digging up of "a street, except by per-
mission. it is not a reasonable regulation
of q corporate franchise. 1t say that the
right conferred by Legislature cannot be
exercised except by consent of the city.
The ordinance under which Allen was
convicted is illegal. The Judge, there
fore, reverses the decision OF the lower
cuurt.

NEW JERSEY AND THE PRESIDENCY.

From the True american of toddv.
So far as New Jersey Is concerned it is
possible that the vote of the State would
be given to any well known Democrat of
good character and reputation that might
be nominated by the convention, but
whether the nomination under existing
circu instances of any other than Mr..
Cleveland by the National convention
would not ALLEVIATE the votes of Demo
Gratis and Republicans in other States
necessary TO an election is a question that
cannot be ignored. There is good reason
TO believe hat there Is no man in the
Democratic ranks that today has the con-
1dence and support of the great body of
the people, both Democrats and Republic
cans, throughout the country to that de
gree possessed by Mr.. Cleveland, and If he
is to be defeated for the nomination here
in New Jersey it should be with the full
knowledge by the people of the meaning
of their actions. There should be no trick
cry or smart politics" about this matter
at this time. The issue in the election OF
delegates to the State and National con-
yentions is whether or not Grover Cleve-
land shall be nominated, and the people
should understand that they vote only on
thatfssue,
