SAVED BY A HAIR.

1t was dark and stormy night with
out, aud drew my chair closer to the
fire as l slipped my tea and RECALLED my
self with the news of the local paper.
As the storm aud sleet ratified furiously
against the window. and pedestrians
hurried by, anxious to reach place of
shelter, felt thankful that 1 was not
obliged to leave my comfortable home
for the night.
What's this?" 1 said, as my eye
a'ighted on startling paragraph.
mysterious murder Mr. John Ran
do'ph, one of our old and wealthy citi-
Zens, was this morning found dead in
his room. having been murdered during
the night by some unknown person.
Edgar Morton, clerk in his employ,
and who, reports saw, was soon to be
married to his daughter, has been ar
rested for murder, and circumstances
are said to be against him
Now, although l am usually among
the first to hear of criminal news, from
the nature of my business, this was the
first intimation | had received that such
a murder had been done. This seemed
very strange. as l was on tine very best
of terms with Mr.. Randolph and his
whole family.
"And SO this is the way that Edgar
Morton repavs the benefactor of his
youth and soon-to-be father! le. no, ;"
cried; Il will stake my life on that
young mans innocence
As | spoke there came gentle tap at
the door, followed almost Immediately
by the entrance Of lady deeply yelled,
who at once threw aside her veil, dis
closing to me the features of my de-
ceased friends daughter, Cecilia Ran
dolpb.
Excuse me, Mr.. Ferguson, for en-
tering uninvited, but urgent business
must be my only excuse"
BE seated, Miss Randolph" l said,
rising and handing her chair.
"Oh, Mr.. Ferguson!" she sobbed
forth, burving her face in her hands
that [ should ever be obliged to come
to YOU on such an errand as this!"
endeavored to quiet her, and par
e tally succeeded, when drew from her
what few facts she. knew regarding hel
fathers death.
He retired last night at the usual
hour, apparently in good spirits, and &c
sound was heard during the night tc
cause any alarm. In the morning as lie
failed to appear at breakfast, servant
was dispatched to summon him. Knock
ing at the door and receiving no an
swer, he finally opened 1t and advanced
into the room. What a sight did he
then behold. Ny poor father lay upon
his bed, with his throat cut from ear te
ear! Death must have come suddenly
so suddenly as to prevent M
outcry- and the unknown assassin haG
no trouble in making his escape"

An ophthalmic surgeon in the CITY
Hospita! reports that in 81 per cent of
cases of cataract, there has been a pre-
ccding chronic dyspepsia, and he attrib-
utes the opacity of the lens of the eye
to faulty nutrition. He claims success
in clearing up all such opacities by con-
stitutional treatment together with a
peculiar manipulation Of the eyes which
probably tends to improve the blood
circulation and the local nutrition. We
have often thought the Eye Sharrener
might be useful in such cases, as it cer-
tainly has the effect of improving the
blood circulation, but we have hesitated
to advise such cases to experiment with
it at their own risk. Should any such
misfortune come to us, 1.-THE exl eriment
could be made, since theoretically it is
in the line of proper treatment. As to
the relation of cause and effect between
a depraved state of the blood arising
from dyspepsia and the occurrence of
cataract, there can hardly be a doubt
of it. 1t stands to reason that any long
continued impurity of the blood is
bound to cause inflammation or degen-
Grafton to some tissue somewhere. If
the character of the man dere :ds npon
what he eats, of course the character of
his tissues must depend upon the kind
of blood supply they get from day to
, day,

RoBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL
How the Gold Bug Papers WilfulIy Mis-
represented the Proposition of Govern

represented the PrOposition of Govern
ment Loans.
The Boston Globe, under the head of
''Robbing Peter to Pay Paul." displays
its ignorance of the subject it is discuss
ing when it puts the proposal to loan
money upon real estate in the following
manner.
Senator PETERS scheme for relieving the
Kansas farmers of their mortgage burdens
proposes to make the government their
creditor. The government is to loan money
on the farms at per cent per annum. The
farmer is to pay 10 per cent per annum. hut
per cent is to be applied on the principal
ard l per cent for '.inte-cst." The 1 per
cent is not really for interest, however, but
is merely intended to cover the expenses, SO
that the money IS really to be loaned with
out any return. Tho consumers in the east
are to be taxed on their necessaries OF life
to raise fund Of $500, 100000 TO be loaned
out to farmers.
