The action Of the congress in regard to
silver reminds us very forcibly OF the story
which Gen. Grant tells upon himself in
his Memoirs" His father commissioned
him to buy n horse from a neighbor.
Now, Ulysses, my boy" said the old
gentleman, you offer $50 for the horse.
II you can't him for that offer him 500,
and IT that won't fetch him offer him $40,
and ifthat won't do the business give him
S75, but no more" The future general
went to the neighbor and began negotia-
tons for the purchase Of the horse.
"Whst'n you give for him2" asked the
owner. We'll, said the youthful Grant,
my father told me to offer you $50 and
if you wouldn't take it to make it $50 and
if you wouldn't accept that to offer you
$40, but not to give more than s75." As
the horse at a lair valuation was worth
s75 he was cheeriully sold to young Grant
at that price. This, like the silver resolu
tion, was a compromise at the beginning
Of the trade and the horse which might
have been bought for $50 cost its pur.
chaser, through his own lack Of de1terity.

mental assimilation made up for her
lack of solid education. Her voice was
harsh, but this defect was forgotten
in the brilliancy. the aptness with
which she would tell the story OF the
book she was reading, or of the play
she had seen She was quick at re-
partee.
The Emperor was continually putting
his wife on her guard against indulg-
ing in a fatal habit of talking too freely
with the high born and often pertdious
ladies whom she admitted to her inti-
macy "They are SO many spies" he
was won't to say. The Princess de
Metternich seemed to have a contempt
for the beautiful parvenue. M. de Lano
calls the Austrian lady the evil genius
of the court She often took the lead
in scneming amusemen.s and enter
tainments that were dercgatory to the
dignity OF the sovereign.
One day, for instance, the princess
proposed to the empress to take
tramp in short petticoats on foot
through the forest of Fontainebleau
with her ladies. At that time the
fashion for wearing short dresses
had not come in. The empress
was deiightei at the idea. One of
her ladies objected and demonstrated
with Nine de Metternich. ''Would
you advise your Empress to go about
in curtailed skirts for the editication
of her sub iects?" "0h. that Is quite
different thing, the Princess answered.
"Ao. certainly, | would never advise the
Empress Elizabeth to go out walking
In short petticoats. But then my En-
press is 70 ally born princess, while
yours. my dear-yours is Mdlle. de
Monii O.
No wonder the Empires sometimes
thought bitterly that throne could
be aid for too dearly. As the years
went on the golden Bohemianism at
court gave rise to scandal On one oc-
casion the Empress protests in a letter
10 an intimate friend that the report
is exaggerated which has got abroad
that in the tableaux given at an lnti-
mate gathering in the Tulleries the
ladies appeared arrayed In the scantiest
clothing.
The details accompanying the pub
lished description pointed to the re-
port having been sent TO the paper by
perfidious guest. This Amateur
male oiencc," as she cleverly terms the
motiveless scandal mongering of some
people, saddened her. 81 find my

lence # parties, to that of public
curiosity by friendat any rate by
one who was my guest. To this | can
not accustom myself My enemies will
always find me strong to resist their
attacks but l cannot say that my
friends Will.
The Empress brought up her son adj
mirably. She was somewhat severe
with him in her eagerness to counter
act the overindulgent treatment of the
Emperor.
NJ. Lano assures us that the beautiful
woman was not the spendthfift she has
been represented. Her taste inclined
to elegant simplicity. The emperor
urged her constantly to dress more
richly. The extravaganza and luxury
of the court were far more due to the
las ish display affected by her ladies
/ than to her. She was clever artist,
and some of the portraits that sh
! painted have genuine artistic merit.

There are many firm believers in the theory
that most people are crazy at times, and
facts seem to support their belief. The fol-
lowing, from source unknown to the
writer, will likely remind a number of our
readers of some incident in their experience,
which at the time of its occurrence seemed
to them most unaccountable
"A wise man will step backward off q
porch or into a mud puddle; a great philoso-
pher will hunt for the specks that are in his
hand or on his forehead, hunter will some
times shoot himself OF his dog. A working
girl had been feeding great clothing knife
for ten years. One day she watched the
knife come down slowly upon her hand. Too
late she woke out of her stupor with one
hand gone For few seconds her mind had
failed, and she sat by her machine tenn

approach her own hand.

Effect of Glare Upon Eyesight.

It appears that Professor Plateau, of the
University Of Client, while trying to observe
the effects of the irritation of the retina
gazed steadily at the sun for twenty seconds,
the result being that chronic irido-choroiditis
developed, ending eventually in total blind
ness. A number of cases are known in which
choroiditis and retinitis occurred in persons
who had observed an eclipse of the sun. The
single flash OF a sun reflector has been known
to cause retinitis, and other temporary visual
disturbances OF a functional character have
been frequently noted.
NJ Reich has described a curious epidemic
Of snow blindness, which occurred among q
body of laborers engaged in cleaning a way
through the masses of snow which INSTRUCTED
the road between Passanaur and Mteti, in the
Caucasus; the rays of the sun reflected from
the vast stretches of snow on every side, pro-
duced an intense glare of light which the
unaccustomed eye could not support without
the protection of dark glasses. A few of the
sturdiest among the laborers We're able to
work with impunity, but the majority suf-
fered SO much that among seventy strongly
marked cases, thirty were so severe that the
men were absolutely unable to continue
work or to find their way home, and Law
prone on their faces, striving to hide their
faces from the light and crying out from
pain. Recovery was gradual but complete.
