MAIIONK'S METHODS.

Ex-Coo areas man Urady, of Virginia, Charges Him with All Manner of Rascality. Washington Special. Ex-member of Congress James D. Brady, a well known Republican of Virginia, is out in an jpen letter against Mahone, accusing him of telling offices and stealing campaign money. Tbe letter causes a great deal of comment here In polities! circles. . Among other things, he says: "Man one sets noon tbe idea that he is the party, and all that is required in order to receive the party's favor is at all times and under all circumstances to agree with him in everything, and to be submissive to his arrogant will. What has been done with the large campaign fund placed in M ah one's hands? Since 1680 he has collected in this State from office-holders and received in contributions from Northern Republicans, at the lowest estimate. $100,000. In the disbursement of this money, he has unblnshlaelv usurped, not only tbe offices of secretary and treasurer of the State ommittee, but also tbe riebt and power vested in the State executive committee to handle the tame, and be has nover rendered an account to tbe committee, or any one showing what disposition be has made of it. Heine the sole custodian and disburser of tbe party's fund, he has always placed it where, in his immaculate judgment, it would do the most good for the 'Mahnne party. "How has he disposed of the federal patronage! Arrogantly assuming that it belonged exclusively to himself, tbat every office under the government, from tbe bichest collectorshiD to tbe dollar postoffice. was bis private property, he loled out places with an nnciion most gleeful to himself, because 'Solid JJahooe political-workers were being located in every section of the State. An examioatioc of the record discloses the fact that, with but a very few exceptions, only his special advocates and favorites were provided for, in willful disregard of tbe just claims of faithful, worthy and intelligent Republicans, and indorsements as to character, fitness and worth from the leading Republicans of the State counted for caught against bis own perverted determination for his personal preference. Maimed soldics, honest and capable and sadly in need of employment, were treated with banbty indifference, while tbe son and coachman of this wealthy autocrat drew thousands of dollars from tbe Senate's appropriation, boih having been provided with lucrative places. "Tbe demands made in the party's came upon the office-holders for contributions to bis campaign fnnd, by his plan of assessments, were erue! and exacting, and to illustrate to what an extent this power was exercised, I need only mention the fact tbat a certain postmaster in this State was required, and he did add to the campaign laud $1,000 before be got the office." MINOR MATTERS. The President Grants Two Pardons and Reduces a Convict' Term. Washington", Oct 26. The President has granted a tardon in the case of Henry G. Curkendall, eonvicted in the Western district of Michigan of having counterfeit coin in his possession and sentenced Oct. 9, 1885, to four years' imprisonment.

In tbe case of William S Kirker, convicted in the Southern district of Ohio of making false entries in books of the National Bank of Ironton, O., and sentenced Feb. 4, 1885, to five years' imprisonment, tbe President denied the application for pardon, but commuted the sentence to three years' actual imprisonment with no deduction for good conduct.

A Tough Character of Losantville Dangerously Shot by the Town Marshal. The Flawkins Murder Case Ends in the loon? Prisoner Beinjr Given Seven Tears in the Fenitentiarj Notes and Gleanings. INDIANA. Interference with an Officer Results In m Shooting; That May End in Death. Special to the Indianasolis Journ&u Nxw Castle, Oct. 26. Much excitement was created at the little village of Losantville, twelve miles east of here, on the Indiana, Bloomington & Western railway, on Monday, by the shooting of Willis Wright, a hard character of that community, by tbe town marshal. Wesley Wrightsman, the village marshal, arrested Lnther Canady, a justice of the peace, for intoxication, and was taking him to the calaboose, when Wright and some other parties interfered. The marshal finally released the prisoner on promise of some of his friends to stand good for bis appearance. Shortly after, the marshal and Wright met at Hunt's drugstore, where some words passed between them. Tbey then went into the street, and hostilities were renewed, when the marshal attempted to arrest Wright, who drew from his Docket a rock and bnrled it at the officer's head: he then started to ran. The marshal drew his revolver and fired two shots, one taking effect in the thigh, and tbe other in the back, just below the right shoulder. The marshal was arrested by a special conasable. but was released on bond of $800. W right is still living, but his condition is very serious, and there is little hopu of his recovery.

McCartney presiding, bas adjourned to commence again two weeks hence, when Judge McCartney will change with Judge Harker and dispose of accumulated business. About the only thing of interest was the extraordinary nnmber of ejectment suits brought at this term by non-resident claimants and their grantees against farmers whose titles were in some respects defective, bat who bad been living, as

ther believed, upon their own land for, in many instances, over a quarter of a century. In each of these cases the occupant were ousted, notwithstanding the fact that they had gone into possession even before patents were granted to the grantors of the claimants, who in each case bad failed for years to pay any taxes unon the lands tbey now claim.

FLORENCE NIGDJTINGALE. The Heroin of the Crimea Dying from the Efl'ects of Hospital Fever. " London CaMe .Special. The world may soon bear of the death of that great-hearted English heroine, Florence Nightingale. 'Though mentally as brilliant as she ever was in her better days, she has never been physically sound since she was prostrated by a severe fever in 1856, while nursing the Crimea's wounded soldiers in tbe hospitals on tbe B03phorus. For years she has maintained her courage against great odds, but the stroggle is nearly over. Her long and beneficent life is drawing to a close. The Right Honorable Sir Harry Verney, the well-known nephew of Miss Nightingale, tells me that his beloved and honored relative is critically ill and hss long been confined a prisoner in her home at No. 10 South street. Park Lane. She is dying from the direct consequences of the fever contracted in the Crimea. It is a general failing of the system, a wasting away from the effects of her perilous labors during the days in which she devoted her life to tbe soldiers wounded in battle. And yet Miss Nightengale, though very much of a sufferer at times, is remarkably patient through it all. and gives the few friends who are allowed to see her an example of Christian fortitude quite as remarkable as her courageous charity and benevolence in the past Her borne in Park Lane is handsomely furnished, and contains countless rare and valuable gifts presented to her by her admirers after her return from the Crimean war. There are also innumerable letters from people of prominence the world over, and various mementoes of her friendship with tbe conspicuous characters in Europe and America who bave been proud of their acquaintance with this remarkable woman. These testimonials of the reverence in which the whole (world holds her are very precious to tbe venerable lady, but more for the sake of the givers than from any feelings of pride. She - is modesty itself. Her intimate friendships have been illustrious. Her natural hatred of wrong and tyranny led Miss Nightingale to espouse tha ceuee of right and progress. During the civil war in America Ler sympathies were warmly with the Northern side m the strnggle, and in the long contest which has been going on for the liberation of Ireland, her active sympathies have gone oat to the home-rule cause. John Bright, Gladstone, and ail the Liberal leaders of England bave long been her ardent friends. She is a great admirer of America and its institutions, believing firmly in the theory of self-government. For many years she was on the closest terms of friendship with Henry Ward Beecher, and nothing for a long time so affected tbe venerable lady as the news of his death. Tbe character of Abraham Lincoln she regards as one of the grandest in history. It is but natural, therefore, that no tributes to Florence Nightingale's worth have been more eloquent than those which have come from America. The lato President Garfield once said in addressing a class of young ladies: "Emulate tbe example of Florence Nightingale, that charity angel of modern times, whose tair and historic name is enshrined in the hearts of ail mankind, for ages yet unborn will sing the glory of her proud renown." Equally eloquent bave been the praises of Abraham Lincoln, Henry Ward Beecher, George D. Prentice, Mr. Talmage, llolen Hunt Jackson, and scores of others. With all her kindness of heart, Miss Nightingale has always been independent in spirit and a trifle eeceutrie, perhaps, in her later years. A weil known Baltimore lady, whom I met lately upon her return from an extended trio over Europe, tells of an interview she enjoyed with Miss Nightingale in her London home in the spring of 1882. During the delightful conversation she could fail to notice tbe singular 6hape of that eminent lady's foot She had never heard that Miss Nightingale was lame or deformed in any way, but certainly something was the matter. Her curiosity prompted her to inquire of a mutual friend, who explained tbat Florence Nightingale, despising the modern instrument of torture vended by fashionable shoemakers, was accustomed to plant her stockinged feet firmly cn a piece of leather, draw tbe outline of tbe figure it formed and have her shoe made to correspond exactly with it When this eminent lady passes from earth England would not consent to her remains resting anywhere but in tbe nation's pantheon, Westminister Abbey. Not only would England demand this honor for the Crimea's heroine, bnt England's Queen, who has always treated her' with marked consideration and true friendship, would order it done. And there is little doubt that Miss Nightingale's learned friend, Canon Farrar, would conduct the public services. This is the only proper resting place for one who has filled such a large place in the worshipful regard of not only England but the world. The poor and distressed thousands of this crowded city will lo6e their truest friend and benefactor when Florence Nightingale is dead. Her life bas been a wonderful chapter of selfsacrifice. She was born in Florence. Italy, May 3, 1820. and carefully educated by her father. William Nightingale, of Lea Hurst, Derbyshire, England. For many patient years she trained herself in the hospitals of England and Germany for the duties of attending on the sick, but it was not till 1S51 that the great mission of her life appeared to open before her. The hospitals of the Crimea, to which Britain's brave men were removed from the battle-fields, were horribly managed. Something had to be done, and the courageous Florence Nightingale undertook tbe task. With a corps of trained women she went boldly to tbe front, where her talent and energy soon brought order out of chaos and brought her the undying blessings of the sick and wounded, and gained her a fame that will never grow dim. With her usual benevolence she offered to charity the magnificent fund of 50,000 which grateful England raised as a reward for her services. But she still has the gorgeous cross set with diamonds which the Queen sent her, and the bracelet with brilliants that was presented by tbe Sultan of Turkey. For many years her health bas made it impossible for Miss Nightingale to take an active part in deeds of charity, but she has written much and taught others how to carry out her benevolent plans. One of tbe roost beautiful and touching things in Miss Nightingale's busy life bas been her intimacy with Jenny Lind. Though beginning their missions in widely different spheres, these two great spirits bave been drawn together by the loadstone of benevolence, and pursued their charitable career hand in band. It was nearly the same time when Florence Nightingale started to nurse the wounded in the Crimean war tbat Jenny Lind left to charm America with ber wonderful voice. After years of unobtrusive charities, Jenny Lind, hopelessly paralyzed, is awaiting the approach of death, white her illustrious friend, the great exemplar of organized pablic benevolence, is sinking to her last sleep. There is but one year's difference in their ages, and both will probably be consigned to eternity together, as they have loved and acted together in their beautiful and historic lives. Obituary.

THE STATUTEYS.LYJSCH LAW

Judge GonltPs Charge to the Grand Jury as to the Amer Green Lynching. It Was Murder and Every Man Who Aided or Abetted tne weed is Equally unilty History of Crimes Committed by tha Greens. Special to tbe TndianaDolia Journal. Delphi, Ind., Oct 2a The grand jury met to-day at the call of Judge Gould. But few witnesses have so far been examined, but a large number have been summoned to appear to-morrow. Following is tbe judge's charge in full: Gentlemen of the Grand Jury When, during the second week of the present terra, you announced to the court that you had no further business to transact, and were by the court discharged, we all had reason to believe that there would not arise a necessity for farther labors on your part; but the deploraDle events of recent date have compelled" me to call you together for tbe special purpose of investigating the facts connected with the taking of a human life. It may not be inappropriate for me to briefly state general information which is known to all. At a former term of this court, one Amer Green was indicted for the murder of Luella Mabbitt Tbe place where tbe alleged crime was committed was in a remote part of this county, and a few miles from Loganeport The accused had fled tbe State soon after the alleged perpetration of the crime, which occurred in the month of August. 1886. Some three months ago he was arrested in the State of Texas and returned to Cass county and there held in custody udOu a warrant issued from the Cass Circuit Court, based on an indictment charging him with the same crime committed within that jurisdiction. Warrants issued from this court to the sheriff of Cass county were returned by tbe sheriff of that county with his official endorsement thereon that Green would be held there until legally discharged by the Cass Circuit Court Howeyer, the accused was, on the 19th inst., delivered to the sheriff of this county to answer the indictment in this court On the 20th inst. in the exercise of a logai right, Greeu filed bis application for a change of venue from this county, but before action was taken on the application the prosecuting attorney entered a nolle prosequi in tbe case, and the prisoner was remanded to the custody of the sheriff without bail to answer another indictment, which was only returned by the grand jury on the following day. in which Green was charged with murder in the first degree. Tbat night a mob of armed men forced open the jail, forcibly seized the defenseless prisoner, took him seven miles from the city and tht.re murdered him. "Gentlemeb, I shall soaak plainly, for the law makes it my duty to instruct you plainly as to your duties. If we fail in their discharge, we become aiders and abettors of crime. We caunot escape the responsibility which rests on us. The questions for your consideration do not include the question of the guilt or innocence of Amer Green of the monstrous crime with which he was charged; that question is not before you. He was a prisoner in tbe custody of the law, and he was entitled to the protection of the law. The men who took his life, and those who were present aiding and abetting, and those who were present in furtherance of a common purpose, and ready to aid in the unlawful act are alike guilty of murder. Now, it will be your solemn duty, without fear, favor or affection, to carefnlly investigate the facts and prosecute those who are guilty of this crime. You are charged with an official duty in no sense personal to yourselves, and there is but one safe rule of oHieial conduct, and that is to do what duty and conscience requires. Onrs is a government of law. and the law is the shield and protection of the strong and the weak alike, and its fearless, impartial enforcement is the only guarantee of private rights and public tranquillity. If Amer Green was guilty, the law would have condemned him and punished him. ' It is not for us to pay in this place why mob violence exists to such an alarming extent. It is enough for us to know that it is not sanctioned by the law. Mobs do not respect the law or the riehta of others; they do not think; they do not reason; they enforce no rights; they redress no wrongs: they destroy and trample on all rights, and madly tear down even the monuments which perpetuate a nation's grandest achievements. Mobs endure but for a day. The law is the growth of centuries In the language of another: "Of law no less can besaid tban that ber seat is the bosom of f-Godj her voice the harmony of the world. All things in heaven and earrb do hr homage, tbe very least as feeling her care, and the greatest as not exempted from her power. Both angels and men, and tbe creatures of what condition soever, though each in different sort and manner, yet all, with uniform consent, admire her as the mother of their peace." Even the misguided men who perpetrated this crime, when the sober, second thought comes to them, will look with horror on the scenes of last Friday night. The law which they violated is the same law which they would invoke for their own protection a safeguard for the innocent and a terror only to tr e guiltv. A lawless invasion of the rights of Amer Green is a menace to the rights of every citizen. It is not a debatable question. The reign of the mob means the destruction of our governmental fabric, and with its downfall, wild anarchy must ensue. "Gentlemen, in the discharge of your solemn duties you must aet fearlessly, firmly and impartially. If it be true that there exists a mistaken sentimentality on the part of court3, juries and others in the treatment of tho.se who violate the law, tbat sentiment must yield to the stern discbarge of duty. But you should indict only upon satisfactory legal evidence, and not upon mere suspicion. Those who were merely present as passive spectators of the crime, and nothing more. would not be guilty. You will also inquire whether any officers of this court, whose duty it was to protect the ptisoner, were guilty of any neglect of duty, and if you find that they were criminally negligent in the discharge of their duty, whosoever tbey be, indict them. In a word, it is expected that your investigations will be thorough as to every feature of this unfortunate transaction. "Now, gentlemen, I bave discharged my duty, and you will now proceed to the performance of yours." Crimes of the Green Drothers. Special tu tbe lndiauaoolia Journal. Peru, Ind., Oct 26. The celebrated' murder case of William Green will shortly be called for trial in the Miami Circuit Court, presided over by Judge Connor. This case, along with that' of bis brother Amer, is noted throughout northern Indiana. Public itterest has, since the crimes were committed, been intense. The Green boys were born near Young America, Cass county, and that section can justly say tbat the darkest pages o! its history aro written in blood deep and ineffaceable. For years theso men were a terror, bated, feared and abhorred by the residents, and a constant menace to the public safety. On July 16. 1881, William Green shot and killed Enos B.rombaugh, an estimable young man of Toung America. There was a picnic of young people being held near tbat place, and Brombaigb. Green and some others took a keg of beer some distance from the grounds, in the woods. An altercation ensued, ending by Brombaugh slapping Green in the face, who, with some words, turned, and, accompanied by a friend, drove home, some three miles distant Arriving there they ate supper, and, Green procuring his revolver, they drove back toward the scene of the quarrel. When close to the grounds they met Brombaugh and some friends, when, after some words. Green drew his revolver and fired, two balls penetrating Brombaugh's intestines, killing him almost instantly. Green drove away before he could be arrested. Notwithstanding the fact of a large reward being offered, and Green being a deformed hunchback, he made good his escape. Amer, the younger brother, was charged with, the murder of Miss Luella Mabbitt who went, ont riding with him on the evening of Aug. 7, 1686. and who bas never been seen since. The body found at tbe mouth ot Wildcat creek is reputed to be hers. That the Greens were vindicative is proven by the terror which their name created in the neighborhood where tbey resided, and the fear which wis held toward tbem. Amer disappeared tbe same night, and since then, up to their arrest in Texas, nothing was heard of tbem. Large standing rewards were offered for their arrest, and on different occasions officers were sentto Kansas, Missouri, and Tennessee, only to find the wrong persons apprehended. To Buck Stanley, deputy ? sheriff of Cass county, is the credit due of their ultimate capture. Stanley clung to the case with a dogged persistency, and at last was rewarded by a clew in tbe way of a railway receipt for a ticket sold to Sherman, Tex., found in Amer's trunk. Following this up disclosed the fact of another ticket having been sold to that point. On tne 27th of August Stanley, upon arrival at Greenville, Tex., secured the services of Sheriff Wallace, of that county; thence tbey proceeded to Grayson, and, upon inquiry, tbey learned that men answering tbe Gteena' description bad be s a there, passing under the names of Charles

and Frank Hartman. At Tascoosa they separated, Stanley going north thirty-six miles into New Mexico, where he captured Bill. L. S. Wallace went west to Frying-pan,

ranch and arrested Amer. Tbe excitement upon the arrival of Stanley and Wallace at Logansport with the prisoner was intense. Rumors of organized bodies of men coming to lynch tbem were circulated for several days and nights, until the prisoners were taicen to the northern penitentiary for safer keeping. Twenty-five deputy sheriffs, armed with Winchesters, patrolled the jifil at Logansport On Sept 27 Wm. Green was lodged in jail in this city to await his trial. Green will be defended bv Judge Dvkeman, of Logansport; Stuart. McConnel & McConuel, of tbe same city, and John A. Farrar, of this city. The prosecution will be conducted by M. D. Fansler, assisted by John C. Nelson and Quincy Myers. Green will plead self-defense. The outcome of the case is anxiously awaited. REMINISCES SKS OF JENNY LIND. How Americana Went Wild Over tbe Great Singer The Enchantment of Ber Voice. Lucy Hooper, in f'biladelphia Telegraph. Those who heard her in their extreme youth are middle-aged people now, and those who were enchanted by her in their prime are fast growing old. But those who once listened to that marvelous voice remember it now and will remember it forevermore. I was little more than achildwbenl first listened to it; a school girl not far advanced in my teens. Yet now. if I could reproduce the memory of a sound as a painter can tbe memory of a face that once charmed him. 1 could this hour renew the enchantment of tbat forgotten moment, the first my life ever knew of keen artistic delight. As I write there arises before me, far more distinct to my mental vision tban the image of the singer that I heard last week, that tall, graceful form in its rich attire of white silk and delicate lace, the rapt, ecstatic expression of the large, upraised blue eye?, the diamonds fashing like dewdrops amid the green leaves interwoven with the massive coils of the profnse blonde tresses. And I seem to hear tbe words, "1 know tbat that my Redeemer liveth," borne up and up, as upon wings of crystal, tbe voice so exquisite in its divine beauty, the soul behind tbe voice lending it such marvelous depths of expression! Old men sat speechless with the tears streaming down their cheeks as they listened to tbat song. It was something like a glimpse of Heaven, or rather like a thrill of the celestial harmony, for voice and expression were alike of unearthlv sweetness. Jenny Lind was our first great artistic sensation. The American public had had Malidran in former times, but that great prima donna was then in her green and salad days; her powers were immature, and she sang before audiences as yet incapable of divining the diva in the unfinished student But Jenny Lind came to us in tbe full perfection of her genius and her fame. What that genius was, we realize now as perbap but Tew ot ber American hearers did in those by-gone day. We. were enchained by the spell, but we did not altogether comprehend the nature of the enchantment. We can understand it better since nearly a half century of musical culture and experience has passed over our beads. Never since then has such a siuger thrilled the heart of the listening world with divinest raelooy. The voice of Jenny Lind was not only lof exceptional range, but of perfect purity and sweetness of tone throughout Added to these qualities were those of extraordinary power and vol-, unie. Wben she first sang in New York ahe appeared at Castle Garden. The wonderful voice, as flood-like, as silvery, as exquisite as moonlight, not only filled the vast circuit of the ancient fort, but streamed out upon the night air ontside. People used to make excursions in boats on the nights of the Jenny Lind concerts' to hearken to the melody that floated ont over the waters of the bay. Then, too, she was one of the most thoroughly trained artistes that ever has sung in public For six years she studied under the severest and most admirable of professors, the great Garcia. Mendelssohn pronounced ber to be the finest artiste of ber day, a day whose noontide hours shone noon snch singers as Grisi and Persiani and Pauline Viardot Garcia. Then, too, her singing was intensely sympathetic, a quality difficult to define, yet potent beyond all power of explanation. She carried her hearers captive tbey could not choose but listen they could not fail to be enchanted. Men who knew nothing and cared nothing for music, and who grumbled vigorously at having been forced to pay $7 for the privilege of hearing a woman sing three or four songs, went wild as they listened, and moved heaven and earth to procure tickets for her future concerts. People interwove her personality with her talent and took the woman to their hearts and adored her as they adored the artiste. Once, at one of her concerts, whilo she was sinking "Comin' thro' the Rye," one of her long, fair tresses became unfastened and fell upon ber neck, and the spectators enjoyed the littla incident, and smiled and were pleased at the momentary confusion of their idol. It seemed to bring her nearer to them, somehow. She was not beautiful, yet when she sang, and especially when she sang sacred music, her face became transfigured with an unearthly loveli ness. At these moments she might have served as a model for Jeanne d'Arc listening to the voices of ber angel visitants. In secular music she proved her incontestable dramatic powers. I think it was this quality that made ber singing of English ballads so popular. The delicious coquetry and roirthfulness of her interpretation of "Comin' thro the live. ' the tender pathos of her "Home, Sweet Home," will never be forgot by those who were so fortunate as to hear them. In that last song she introduced a long, silver-toned trill at tbe lines, "The birds gaily singing that came at my call," the effect of which was marvelous, but less so tban the im passioned depth of pathos tbat she imparted to the whole hackneyed, but ever-touching song. It was beyond description, tbat wail of an exile for tbe home that he should nevermore behold. Jenny Lind never was beard . in opera in America. From those who were so fortunate as to have seen ber in some of ber famous roles. such as Lucia, Amina, or Alice in "Robert le Diable. I have learned that as an actress she equaled her renown as a singer. Her repertoire was limited, but within its range she was incom parable. Yet she never really enjoyed her triumphs upon tbe stage. She threw herself with so much energy into the impersonation of her part, ana her self absorption was so complete. that the fatigue and over excitement always resulted in agonizing headaches. It was this peculiarity that finally orove her to abandon the lyric stage for that of the concert room. She was h world's idol, and justly so. In her the public worshiped not only the greatest of singer?, but also one of the best of women. Those who adored her adored a saint There were no apologies to be made for lovers and illegitimate children in the background. We were all the better for having gone wild about her. she went on her triumphal career, strewing her pathway with good deed aS she raed The" fort une gained durit g h r Am rican toi r was conserrated by hQr to uje foundation of f rt-e schools for poor children in Sweden. It amounted to over $300,000, a far larger sura actually in thoe days than it is at present. Her charitable deeds and unfailing kindness to the poor and tbe afflicted were characterized at the time bv the quotation, "The rich draw friends to them, but the poor draw angels." A Strika Threatened. Pittsburg, Oct. 26. It is now almost a set tled fact that the pressed-glass workers of th American Flint-glass Workers' Assoriati"-1 will go on a strike on Nov. 1. The hitch b -tween the manufacturers and workmen seems to be on account of the breakage. The manu facturers insist that the gathering boys must pay for the broken ware, but the workers will not agree to this. If the matter is cot fixed up between now and next Monday evening, 1,600 men will be thrown out of work, and directly and indirectly about 3.000 men will be without employment. In this district there are twentyone factories, and they will all be shutdown. The Suit Against Gould and Sage. New York. Oct 26.

This, he says, pets it beyond the power of private individuals to settle the matter. Mr. Delaneey, a day or two ago, wrote the district attorney asking tbat the 6utt be dismissed.

BARKER, tie Oeulsit and Anrlst, One of tbe grandest achievements of the last century and a half is the introduction and perfection oi the operation for the cure of cataract. Chief eredit is given to Jacques David, of France, for its introduction, and the late Albrecht Von Graefe, of Berlin, for its perfection. This disease, which is a comrooi. one. consis S of an opacity or cloudiness of the lens (or its capsule), a body somewhat larger than a pea, located between tbe center and front of the eye-balL When normal it is transparent; its office being to collect and foens the rays of light upon the retina, producing clear and distinct vision. At first but one eye is involved: but the other, from sympathy, will ultimately become blind. Its approach is attended with no pain whatever the unfortunate patient is often ienorant of its presence until the sight is gone. There art several VARIETIES OF CATARACTS, Designated as hard, soft lenticular, capsular, polar, zonular, Benile and congenital. Most cataract patientf will always .see better in c'o.idy days or at twilight when the eye is shaded and the pupil becomes dilated, I wish to call particular attention to tbe fact that cataracts are never formed on the external portion of the eye. The opaque spots and films that are often called cataracts are not such, bat ALBUGO, or LKV COMA of the cornea. Let this distinction be particularly made, for the reason that they are so often confounded, even by doctors who go so far as to attempt a cure with eye-water, or, what is worse, try to scrape it off. Professor Howe says: "If any practitioner entertains the preposterous notion that a cataract is a 'film' growing over the sight (cornea), let him at once post himself in regard to the anatomical divisions ol the eye." OUR TREATMENT AND SUCCESS. I treat soft cataract by breaking up the whole capsule of the lens, bringing most of it forward, where it is absorbed by the fluids of the eye, and vision is restored. Couching has been largely practiced. I have never couched, nor do I think I ever will, because it is not only dangerous, but it only gives s;ght for a short time. In hard cataract I extract the lens, an operation neither painful nor protracted, yet the most diffi cult in the whole range of surgery. If sure thero were no complications I would not hesitate to prom ise my patients to restore vision in every case. Tho delay of treatment complicates the operation and lessens the chances for success. We therefore wish to EXPLODE THE ERRONEOUS BELIEF That if but one is afected it should be let alone until the other is blind, or, if partially , blind in both eyes, they should wait until entirely blind, or, if a child, it will outgrow it These are delusions fraught with danger; the earlier the attention tbe better. If wr can see them early enough we can arrest tbe progress and obviate an operation altogether. Our phenome nal success in testing cataract is established beyond question by patients in the city treated a year ago who had been made to believe by the regulars 0) that their ease was hopeless.
