Scottish shrewdness Is occasionally
overmatched by Irish wit. The hand
full Of people who inhabit Tory Island,
a little spot in the Atlantic, off the
Irish coast, enjoy so much health and
so little wealth that there is nc
doctor on the island. In ARE cases
of emergency a physician is brought
in a boat from the nearest village or
the mainland.
On one occasion, some islandera
who were obliged to summon the
doctor found that he had gone &c
Dublin on business. AS the cast was
urgent, they invoked the services a.
the only other practitioner within /
score OF miles This gentleman was
a Scotchman. with the proverbial
'canniness' OF his race, and declined
to undertake the voyage unless he re.
ceived his fee-a golden sovereign
IN advance. There was no help fo'
1t. and the money was paid.
The physician went TO Tory Island
and attended to the case. But when
he inquired for a boat to take him
away, he found that not a boatman
on the island would ferry him back
again for any less consideration than
two pounds, paid in advance. The
doctor had to part with the two
sovereigDs, and to admit that he had
been beaten at his own game

Civilization Brings Short Sight.

The subject OF shnrtsighted ness III
animals was under consideration at a
meeting Of the Paris Academy OF Medi-
cine, when NJ. Metals, of Anglers, main
tanned that this defect in vision is one OF
the products of civilization. An uuex-
pected proof of this view was found in
the condition of wild beasts, as tigers,
lions, etc. NJ. Metals, having examined
their eyes by means of the o%phthalmo-
scope, discovered that those captured
after the age OF six or eight months re-
tanned the long sight natural to them,
but that those made captives before that
age, and those born 10 u st ate of caPtiv-
itv. were sho~rt-siebtsd. Some time
since a case was p~uOtlsnei oil a morse IN
this country that wears spectacles. The
farmer who owned him, having come to
the conclusion from various symptoms
that the horse was shortsighted, got an
oculist to take the necessary measure-
ments, aud had a pair of spectacies man
ufactured for him. They were made to
fasten firmly into the headstall, so that
they did not shake out of place. At first
the horse appeared startled by this addl-
ton to his harness, but he soon co.
used to the glasses and liked them.
.sIf fact" said the owner to a Brook
.yn Eagle man, ''when turned him out
to pasture he ielt uneasy and u0comiort-
able without his goggles, and one Sun.
day he hung around the barn aud
whinnied so plaintively that l put the
headstall aud goggles on him, and he
was so glad that he rubbed my shoulder
with his nose" 1t is thought that the
vice of shying, which spoils so many
otherwise valuable horses, is induced by
shortsightedness. The animals cannot
see some particular object sufficiently
plainly to feel sure that it is OF a harm
less nature, and so shes away from 1t.
Owners of dogs may often prove that
their pets suffer from short sight, and 1t
| will often be found that a dog Is unable
10 recognize people with whose appear
,nce it is most intimate when they are q
little way off, while another dog at the
,ame distance has no difficulty whatever
in recognizing them. Dogs nave been
provided with spectscles in the same
way as the farmers horse alluded to, and
have been conclusively shown to have
derived great benefits from them.-Ne"

ABRAHAM
fngersoIrs Tribute to the Great Com
mouer,

fngersoIl's Tribute to the Great Com
moner.
At the banquet Of the Republican
Club of New York, Robert G, lnger.
soil spoke of Abraham Lincoln.
'Lincoln was an immense person
atty; firm, but not obSt.n nate. Ub-
stlnacy is egotism, trmness 1eroisnI.
He Influenced others without effort
unconsciously, and they submitted to
him as men submit to nature-u i
consciously. lie was sever with
himself. and for that reason lenieut
with Others. lie appeared to apollo
gize for being kinder than his fellows.
He did mercilul things as steaIthlF
as Others committed crimes. Almost
ashamed of tenderness. he said and
did the noblest word and deeds with
that charming confusion, that awk-
wardness, that is the perfect grace OF
modesty. As a noble man, wishing
to pay a small debt to a poor neigh.
Dor, reluctantly offers a hundred
dollar bill and asks for change, fear
ing that he may be suspected either
OF making a display Of wealth or a
pretense OF payment, so Lincoln
hesitated to show his wealth of good,
ness, even to the best he knew He
vas a man, not STOPPING, not wishing
to make his fellows feel that they
were small or NEAR. BY his cand0r,
by his kindness, by his perfect free
dom from restraint, by saying what
he thought, and saying it absolutely
his own way, he made it not only
possible, but popular. to be natural.
He was the enemy ofmock sOlemnity,
OF the stupidity respectable, Of the
cold and formal. He did not say
what others thought He was patient
as destiny, whose undecipherable
hieroglyphics were so deeply craven
on his sad and tragic face.
Nothing discloses real character
like the use OF power. Most people
bear adversely, but II you wish TO
know what a man really is give him
power. That Is the supreme test 1t
is the glory of Lincoln that having
almost absolute power he never
abused 1t, except on the side of
mercy. Wealth could not purchase,
power could not awe this divine, this
loving man. He knew no fear except
the fear of doing wrong. Hating
slavery, plying the master-seeking
to conquer not persons but prejudices
he was the embodiment of self
denial-the courage, the hope, the
nobility OF a nation. He spoke not
to iufaHe, not to upbraid, but to
convince. He raised his hands, not
to strike, but in benediction. He
longsd to pardon. He loved to see
pearls Of JOY on the cheeks of a wife
whose husband he had rescued from
death. Lincoln was the grandest
figure Of the 1ercest civil war. lie

Ar. There snakes or loads In

The belief that there are no snakes
and toads IN Ireland Is due to an ex.
pansiOn OF the tradition which says
that st. Patrick threw all the veno-
nous serpents and noxious reptiles in
Ireland into the sea from Croagb Pat.
rick, the sacred hill in County Mayo
There are no venomou5 serpeDts Ia
Ireland; neither are there any 10
Great Britain. But out of the tradi.
ton, and the fact that snakes are not
plentiful In Ireland, has growh the
idea that Ireland Is destitute of
snakes and toads. A certain chapter
of an unnamed history Of Ireland Is
often quoted to sustain the sugges'
ton. Chapter XII, says the believer
"Of snakes in Ireland. There are no
snakes in Ireland" But this famous
chapter is said now to be from a his
tory of Iceland, not OF Ireland. 1t
Is said to be chapter XII of Unno o
Trolls letters on Iceland; Won Troll,
who was a Swede, went to Iceland
with a British naturalist, Sir Joseph
Banks, In l772, and published his
book on his return. 1t is a fact that
there are no snakes in Iceland; but
how Won Trolls chapter came to be
transplanted from Iceland TO Ireland
is an interesting question, as yet I'm
answered.

The Malta Again

1t seems that the Malta still exists in
New Orleans, despite the drastic meas
ures taken by the citizens some time ago
to wipe it out. The murderous assault
upon Officer Toole, reported in the
MORNING News dispatches yesterday
the second assault upon him, by the way
was the third attempt at assassination
made upon police officers in a woek.
Last Sunday night Officer Pettiway,
while in discharge of his duty, was shot
down at the corner of Washington and
Chippewa streets. Pettiway was col
ored policeman, but the fact that he was
policeman was sufficient for the law
less element. There is not much evil
dence to connect the Malta with the shoot
ing of Pettiway, though there Is a strong
suspicion that it was in revenge for the
hanging of the Malta gang some years
ago.
In the case of Toole the evidence is
more direct. He was witness against
a Sicilian who had attempted murder,
and it was the purpose of his assailants
to put him where he could not testify.
The continued existence of this murder
society, therefore, is proof that lynching,
or extraordinary example of individual
punishment, are not the properremedies to
be applied to the Malta. What, then, is
theproper remedy Stringent emig,
laws, and the strict enforcement of the
local laws against violators thereof.
Shut the doors of the ports against the
criminal and pauper classes of Europe,
and see to it that those criminals that
have gained an entrance through bad re-
publican laws receive their just measure
of legal punishment for every offense
committed. This plan would not rid
the country at once of its imported Grim
inal class, but it would prevent it from
growing larger and would eventually
wipe out all Malta gangs.

The Killing of WALKER.

1t is a relief to the people Of Savannah
to know that the life of the colored brute,
Walker, was taken by officers of the law
yesterday in their efforts to arrest him.
The fact that he was killed doubtless
saved Savannah much trouble. Had he
been brought to the city alive, it would
have required a strong armed force to
have taken him to Jail, and still larger
armed force to have kept him there.
He would not have been taken
out of the Jail, however, without
a loss Of life. The Jail building
is so constructed that an armed force can
be thrown into it without people in the
streets being aware Of the fact AS the
Jail would have been stoutly defended, the
probabilities are that valuable lives on
both sides would have been lost because
of a worthless one. And Walker would
have been lynched at last.
The MORNING News has always OPP
posed lynch law. 1t does not believe that
mobs should be the judges and
executioners of any one, for any crime
But there is no denying the fact
that until crimes similar to Walkers
shall no longer be committed by black
brutes it will be impossible to save them
from summary punishment. The people
simply will not wait upon the slow process
of law
