work this off 10 great advantage. Inns
,'o,nlet serves not only TO show the

hut how great his oelf-constraint when
tc NVrotc verses. Almost any young

fellow was too cunning 10 fall mo Il

knew that the jewels never get ih'o
the tomb. and as general RUE tley

bedeck a shroud. a. s
con,e folks say "casket' instead OF
coftin, lust because they think there are
"a many Jewels in them. but this alludes
positively TO what once was, ana not 10
gems and precious stones.
T,e moot fails to say whether these par
,ic,,lar eves 'shine" like emeralds, pearls,
rubies. or moonstonos, but cry likely
they were unusual eyes.
Oliver wendell Holmes was in posi-
ton which ut first would seem Pu]]'er,
but when you think of 1t there was no
trouble at all.
He says:
"The bright. black eye. the melting due
l cannot choose between the TWO.
II is not often. Of course, that fellow
strikes a case of this sort, yet almost
everybody knows of case or two where
a girl really has one black eye and one
blue one. and Holmes seemed 10 nave
had just such luck.
or course. TO choose between the two
would be 10 take her nose, ana While
everybody knows that good nose Is a
fine thing. or rather that no nose, or even
a broken one. is not a fine thing yet
noses were not in 1t in this calculation at
least He was after eyes.
Some fellow would guess quick ana say
take both" but that amt the answer.
The real thing 10 do would be TO take the
bright black" for the other was melt

long Il would hold out.
We can size up a chunk OF ice or a
foot Of snow, or can Of frozen Gus
tard, and guess about how long 1t VIII
keep but melting blue eye is purely
speculative. often elusive and always en-
sharing. In all cases of this sort bet on
the bright black"
ELIZA MAYO EYES.
When poets begin TO write about eyes
they should be concise positive as TO
color and size. ana be bold enough to de-
clare the purpose OF their linesi Take
this gem for an instance:
].
OF all the eyes
Beneath the skies
The highest prize
For blacklist eyes.
II.
The blacklist eyes,
OF biggest size.
Beneath the skies,
Are Mayos eyes.
This is direct and close together like.
and tell the truth, for Eliza Mayo had
the blacklist eyes yesterday that ever man
gave TO woman, and Henry Cohen, a
negro man, was charged with assaulting
and beating her.
Henry plead guilty 10 striking the wo-
man. and was fined so. while Eliza re-
placed the bandages and went homo.
The case OF Morrill, Ross Hewes
alias Wilbur. charged with attempting to
defraud J. Clement Shafer OF 500, was
called and continued until to-day, when
fle whole matter will be IN court.
The case OF G. a. Freeberg, the man.
ager OF the Cincinnati Publishing Com
pany. which was fully ventilated few
days ago was called and set for trial on
FRIDAY morning.
William Biab. a negro man, was tined
$50 for dlsorderly conduct in the First
Market -house.
