Saved His Eve.

A man62 years of age was admitted to
one of the London hospitals. He had lost
his left eye seven years before. The right
had always been myopic and had especially
troubled him during the last three months.
The pupil was oval and reacted to the
light; the iris was tremulous; the lens was
Opaque and floating freely in the vitreous,
but never came through the pupil into the
anterior chamber; vision was imperfect,
but was improved by aid of a concave lens.
The eye gave myopic refraction to the
opthalmoscope; there was a larger posterior
staphyloma and extensive changes in the
choroid in other parts; the lens when at
rest lay on the most dependent part of the
eyeball., The patient was determined to
have an operation performed, as he was
gradually losing sight.
An attampt was first made to transflx
the lens with o cartaract needle inserted
behind the iris and extract it, but the at
tempt failed. Six days later the patient
was turned on his face, with his head pro-
jecting oyerthe end of an operating table,
in which position the lens rested ON the
back of the iris. The operator sat upon the
floor, had the eye illuminated by an ordi-
nary opthalmoscopic mirror, made small
flap section, upward and removed the lens.
A small quantity of vitreous was lost. The
patient was turned over, the eye bandaged
and washed. His recovery was uninter.
rupted, his vision much improved. AS a
recent surgical work contained the state
ment that "a lens lying in the vitreous
can rarely be extracted with safety to the
eye,' it is interesting to know that it has
latelY been so easily done.-EXchange

Ancient Tar and Feathers.

"There is a general impression, in this
country at least, that the institution
known as tar and feathers is distinctive
ly American. Nothing could be further
from the mark" observed Judge Riley Of
the Virginia bar. "The fact is, what we
understand to be coating of tar and
feathers is of ancient origin. There is also
an idea afloat that tar and feathers is q
sort of southern celebration, that it was
invented there, and that it is of common
occurrence in that section of our beloved
country. Iassure you that both these ideas
are wrong all through. In the first place,
while there is plenty of tar in the south,
the stock of feathers is not so large And
again they are too valuable to use in such
a way.
Where a person deserves such treat
ment it is much easier and better to give
him thorough cowhiding. A cowhiding
sticks as well as u coating Of tar if it is
properly applied. Tar and feathers origi-
mated in the days of Richard Coeur de
Lion, over 800 years ago, as is evidenced
| by one of his ordinances for seamen, as
follows: THAT if any man is taken with
theft or pickery, and thereof convicted, he
shall have his head polled and hot pitch
poured upon his pate, and upon that the
feathers of some pillow or cushion shaken
aloft that he may thereby be known for a
thief. '"-Washington Star.

Vincent Sutton, postmaster at Oretown,

A plain tale, truly, and one which smacks
Of the vulgar commonplace, but mark the

This Sutton is a man of simple mind,
and to him it seemed no harm would be
done if he eked out the pittance of his office
of postmaster by adding the sums paid in
for purchase of money orders, a matter OF
some 1855 when all was counted. He
would make it good in his own time, and
in truth, he thought it no wrong. But the
United States does not do business thus,
and in due time there came an Indictment,
found by the Oregon grand jury. Sutton

wrong. He was ready to meet his punish

he chose to leave the state. None could
find him in this bitter weather did he pre-

him, what he had not realized when he
took the money, that he had done wrong,
and he alone must bear the burden.

wiIds, a round 10 miles and more from a
railroad station, with raging rivers to be
crossed between and no road on which q
horse may travel in this teeming winter
season, when the whole countryside Is
soaked and sodden like a full sponge, deep
with treecherous, unfathomed seas of
mud. Forty three miles on foot, swim
ming the swirling, wild, unbridled zivers,
staggering along through clinging mud,
unable to lie down ard sleep in his dreuch-
cd clothes lest he perish of the cold, de-
prived of fire and light because the matches
he carried were soaked, snatching hungry
bite by the way at the little store of food
he had in his pockets, all sodden and
smeared with mud-this was the task that
Vincent Sutton set himself because Justice
must be DONE and he must bear his part,
though his life be forfeit in the doing.
So it came that the simple minded man
Of primitive mold sat down and wrote let.
ter to Marshal Grady, in Portland, that he
would come himself to the nearest station
on the railroad, Sheridan, and there sur
render TO an officer of the law. No need to
send man to bring him in from his dis
tant home. Let the officer come to Sheri-
dan by a certain day, and he would be
there. He kept his word, albeit more than
once it nearly cost him his life.
Sutton has wife. He kissed her good
by and stuffed his pockets with the food
which she, poor woman, had put up for
him with loving care, enough to last him
two days, it might be, on the way to Sheri-
dan. The Three rivers, triple thunderer in
sooth, was booming with sullen, hungry
roar, turbid with swirling mud, carrying
on its angry breast sweeping logs and jag
ged roots, torn from their sockets by the
searching flood. Five times it had to be
crossed by Sutton on his way, swimming
or wading or CHANGING his life on treach-
erous log. Once he was nearly smothered
in bottomless pit of mud as dangerous as
the quiet, remorseless suck of a quicksand
that never gives up it's dead. 1t was bitter
cold, and he must keep afoot or perish.
But there is iron in this mans blood He
had pledged his word, and he got there.
Now, when this simple tale was told to
Judge Belinger, sitting in Portland as the
representative of federal law, he, being a
man, was troubled in mind, for here was
one who had set his life at the value of a
pin fee that the law might have it's way,
and yet justice must be done and punish.

IRVING to Discover Cbeap Iipi,t..

M. Henry Boucher, minister of COM
merce, is taking the initiative in very
interesting matter, which may eventually
prove to be of considerable benefit to
French agriculture. He is comforting with
several savants for the purpose of organic
ing a competition, ON which the sum of
$50, 900 would be expended, with view to
ascertaining whether alcohol extracted
from potatoes and beet root cannot be eff
fectively utilized for lighting by incandes-
cence. 1t is argued that this would be q
very valuable discovery, the more SO as the
supply of petroleum in America appears to
be on the decrease, and that, at a moment
when the German government is encour-
aging the export of sugar, it would be well
to find another market for French beet
root. If the upshot of the consultations
between the minister of commerce and rep
resentatives of the scientific world be sat
isfactory, a series of experiments will be
inaugurated. Competitors will draw up
the results of their Investigations, and the
sum named will be divided among those
who may succeed in solving the problem.

Pacing without u. Driver.

Pacing horses, are said to, be coming into
fashion again, and the New York Herald
recently printed an account of one which
really deserves to- be famous. She belongs
in Oshkosh, Wis, and has been trained by
her owner, though little training was nee
essary, to- pace against time without a
driver. This, as The Herald observes, is q
new departure in racing methods.
There is no pacemaker, no guiding, no
whipping, no urging, no interference or
prompting of the mare in any way. She
knows her lines and goes through them
without faltering and with every sign of
full confidence in her own knowledge and
ability.
She is led to o point about a hundred
yards from the wire and is in perfect &c
ton VIXEN she receives the word 'SGoP'
from the starter in the judges stand. On
getting the word the handsome animal
| auickens her speed, and around the track
she goes as though running away. She
keeps close to the inner rail, seemingly
| through instinct, though she never leaves
the track, whether it be inclosed or not
| Every mile is paced without a break
and as evenly as though she were steadisd

performance and the dashing beauty OF the

that the last quarter is always the fastest,
