patients who die of yellow fever

in Yicksburg present a ghastly appearance. The face and body turn black, with spots of blue upon them. The physicians are inclined to think the disease something worse than yellow fever. It does not yield to the ordinary treatment.^ __ ,.M "rtii ?,W

THE "Balance of Trade" question is touched upon by our writer of "Topics of the Times," and a prominent citizen— who knows more about it than we have time to learn—contributes a column on the same. With those articles we must drop the subject. We cannot afford to give farther space to a question on which the Express is so manifestly wrong. ___________

THE most remarkable success in recent newspaper ventures is the Bloomington, Ills., Sunday Eye—one of the brightest and spioiest papers that comes to our table. Persinger, the editor, is a bora newspaper man. We know be has excellent taete^because he says:

TheTerre Haute Saturday Mail is one of the few truly enjoyable publications of the Hoosier oommonweafth. It has a weloome nook in our sanctum.

THE end of the bankrupt law will bring into prominence again the widely varying usages of different States in regard to attachments and insolvency, gome exempt from attachment fifty dollars, as in Massachusetts and some, as in Texas, 920,000. The complexity of State legislation is well illustrated in the case of California. In that state there are three aots which bear upon insolvency, one of which dates back to 1852.

A FBW days ago Edison appeared be* fore the Association for the Advancement of Science, holding its meeting at gt, Louis, and the famous inventor had rather a remarkable reception. President Marsh stated that a telegram jait received from the Paris Exposition announced the award to him of the grand medal for most useful discoveries of the age. The announcement Was received With the wildest enthusiasm but Edison who, like all great men is afflicted with excetsrive modeeiy, was too much overcome to say anything and oould only bow a couple times and sit down in silence.

Cnfcflrwvrr has evidently gone into the music business to win. A College of Music ha?, been organised* the directors of whloh Include a number of wealthy men of that city, and Theodore Thomas has aocepted the directorship of the college, and is to make bis future home in Cincinnati. He will organise a permanent orchestra from the best local talent and such musicians

from

New York as

are rendered nceeeaary, instruction will be given on the grand organ, and the great music hall, with its do ten rooms, will form the seat of the college. It is expected that the college will be opened te pupils before winter. This is probably the most important movement of a iMaioal nature that has ever taken ptaee in the West.

Now that Theodwe Thomu bas decided jo gnake Cmdnnatt his ftttnre home and the theatre of his labors, New York la Inconsolable over the loss of the great impreanrio. 1ey lament their indifference in having kl lowed Thomas to work for tftaen years In th^r midst tor the development of muslcel culture and given him no adequate reward for his labors and new, when it iateo lata, they begin to see what a great mistake they have made. Bat the people of the West are in a position to congratulate themselves on the good fortune which has brought the greatest musical direotor of the age into their midst. It remains to he seen whether Cincinnati will be able to retain the prite she has won. 4S- ,,

«90-1#, DENNIS!"

We

do a good many things differently in this country from what they dnthem In the Old Wovld. For instance, In Germany Bismarck pursueea prosoriptive and prohibitory ..policy towaTda the socialists. Their associations, meetings and publications are forbidden wider severe penalties. The result" is a steady growth of communistic ideas. In Amer ica we give every fellow a chance. The hoodlum Kearney is permitted to howl to his hearths content in the public market place of every town from Maine to Oregon. We let the noisy blatherskites vent and ventilate their silly inanities to all who choose to listen. Even the newspapers take them up and spread them to the f6ur quarters of the world We are not afraid of this sort of stuff. We think the only danger to be apprehended from it is from trying to confine or suppress it. We trust to the virtue and intelligence of the laboring classes to counteract its influence. Dennis Kearney and his ilk will not convince many that those who, by industry and economy, manage to save a little each year, and in time are able to buy prop erty and employ other men, Are necessarily thieves and ought to divide up their property with those who, either from indolence, extravagance or vice, have accumulated nothing. No matter how hard the times may be, there are not many real laboring men who will favor the enactment of laws to prevent the frugal and industrious from getting ahead of the idle and improvident.

The experience told by Patrick O'Biyrn in the Indianapolis Journal, shows how the real workingman feels. Briefly stated, his story is this: Thirty years ago he was a hired hand, working for 913.00 a month. Spending no money for whisky or tobaoco, he was enabled to save something each month. He mar ried a "hired girl," who, after their marriage, took in washing and went out to wash. They bought a lot and built on it a bouse of only one room. By "pool ing" their earnings they soon had their property paid for, and then built another room, and presently a third. Patrick bought a blind horse and a dray and went to draying. When his first son got old enough to drive he bought an other horse and dray. Their promptness secured them plenty of business, and presently they built a house on the lot to rent. The man who rents the house spends money for tobacco and whisky and grumbles every time he pays his rent. Patrick has money loaned now at ten per cent, and asks, with a good deal of point, whether he is worthy to still be called a laboring man or whether he has become a shark or a bloated bondholder. Men who have gone through such experiences as these (and thousands of our laboringmen have) are not going to be led astray by the empty fury of the Kearneyltes. And so America says "Go in, Dennis! Take off your coat, roll up your sleeves and shout and pound till you get tired. We are not afraid of your noisy ranting. 'The work ingmen of this oountry' have sense enough to see through you, and are not going to be harmed. So, go in, Dennis."

NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENCE.

Most writers of letters of travel make the great error of conveying only the objects which create in them certain sensations or feelings, and do not give the sensations themselves. To say that Niagara is grand and awe inspiring is something better than to give us the feet and inches of waterfall, but it is not enough. To connect it with one's personality, atid to express in fitting terms the feelings inspired, or to narrate the personal details of your visit to the falls will please a for greater number of readers and will really convey abetter Idea of the falls than any other of the former modes of description. Only the practiced eye of the artist will find beauty in a pictured landscape, be it ever so beautiful, If it is not humanized by the introduction of a figure. Pat in a group and give them something to do, and every one who looks at the picture will recognise its beauty. It is the same with the traveler. He must introduce a figure or a group into his word painting if he would attract all classes of readers. Stevens, Bayard Taylor and Ross Browne understood this thoroughly, and are indebted to it for the success of their volumes.. People frequently write letters to newspapers, describing visits to remarkable places, which are well enough written as to grammar and scholarship, and which technically describe the scenes stout which they are Written. Yet, to their surprise, they never appear in print. The reason is, generally, that they are not humanised they are cold and barren descriptions of places, and address nothing emotional ih our nature, and the editor, who knows the public taste, declines to Inflict them upon bis readers. The gossiping letter of a school girl on her first trip away from home is better than nlne-tentfis of either newspaper letters or books of travel. Write from /he heart to the heart, frcm the sentiment to the sentiment, and. allowing the possession of average intelligence, there is very little chanoe of failure. st-:?/

itSA kstOETTEDNBSST IN SCHOOLS,

We dasire to call attention to a paper upon the above subject read Dr. Wor* re 11 before the Teachem Institute, during the peat week. Thaaabfeot is one of paramount Importance and should attract the attention of all who have to do with ohUflMn. The eye is an ocgan ofsuch deUoacy that the changes pmduoed by disease are extremely liable to eoapteniiee Its to tore usefulness and often the services of the specialist are called In only alter the damage Is done, and the utmost that edenee can do is to prevent further c&angea. If, then, it be ./*.! W,| 4Vr.,

shown that certaininfluences are at work to cause disease, -aod'thai stepg may be taken to prevent thairuperatkm, much goodmay bedona. lb do thia waatheottfectof the paper.£

Explaining briefly the aaatoquy of the eye, the normal eye was stated to be nine-tenths of an inch long from before, backwards, and that if It he shorter than this, it is far sighted or hypermetropic. If longer, short or nearsighted, or^myopic. The question of neanightednesa in schools then reeolvee itself into this: whether under onr present system of modern education, tho length of the axia of the eye is becoming greater.

Over fifty yesrs ago Dr. Ware, of London, called attention to the fact that near-sightedness wss more common among people of the towns than among those of the country, and that it incresaee with the sge of the person M&jraoui of close application.

This has been corroborated by numerous observers in Europe and America, by the examination of the eyes of 20,000 school children, establishing the fact that a close relstion exists bet.ween the frequency of myopia and the number of years spent in school. C-ohn, of Breslau, found in aa examination of 10,000 children, arise from ten per cent in the primary schools to 63 per cent In the university. Eresman, of St. Petersburg, from 11 per cent to 43 per cent. In this country numerous statistics show an average increase of from 3 per cent in the primary schools to 26 per cent in the high schbols at the age of 17. This is certainly a serioris matter. It means that more than one-fourth of all who graduate from our higher schools of le*arning are near-sighted.

Myopia, we learn further from the paper, is a condition not rigLt be encouraged, for a myopic eye is an unsound eye, and in its progressive form liable to destructive changes of the most serious character. The doctor strongly depre cated the idea so prevalent that a myopic eye was a strong eye. On the contrary, myopia is a condition of disease, and requires frequently the most judicious care to preserve its usefulness.

The immediate causes of Myopia are those which create an intra-oculsr pressure, giving rise to a peculiar bulging backward of the posterior segment of the eyeball in the region of the optic nerve, and accompanied by an alteration of the nutrition of the coats, that lessen their power of resistance. This is immediately brought about by strong convergence of the eyes in looking at a near object, in long oontinued tension of the accommodation, and from a drooping position of the bead which causes an enjoinment of theintra-ocular blood vessels.

The paper closed with the following explicit directions: 1. Good light from above or the left 2. Good large clear type 8. An erect position, encouraged by a proper relation of the height of seat and desk to stature of the child 4. Look frequently off the book while studying.

We have thus, taken occasion to quote largely from the paper, for the subject is one which is becoming of more importance every year and it is desirable that our people should have an intelligent idea of the dangers attending excersive use of the eyes and'of the means to svoid the evil results.

CYNIC*

A cynic iss man who his failed eomewhere. He is a fox who returns from a foreign journey minus an ornamental appendage and tries to persuade ill his fellows thst it is the fashion. His theory of humanity is that it is grand mistake, and he offers himself as a living example of the truth of hie theory. "Cynic" is a word allied to the canine family, of the cur variety. He is a polecat, and wherever he goes the room is odorous after him. He has lost his frith in sll that is good becsuse he parted company with it and no longer knows how it tastes to be good. Sometime or other he has failed to receive a nomination, and then all the world knows him as a political "sorehead." Once he aspired to the hand of a lady who was too good for him, and being jilted, he ever afterward looks at womankind through green speotacles.

His only known method of doing business is by "toppers," by a sliding scale of measuring calioo, or by sanding sugar, and he will have it that the proverb "honesty is the best policy" was written for ethereal space.

He has no poetry, religion, or any other faith in his make up, and his one sole, sad color for painting such sentiments is the word "Fudge I" To .affection he answers with a stare, and for generosity be will take contracts to supply unworthy motives by the cart load. If a man does a worthy deed at great sacrifice, the cynic smells around till he discovers that the man did it to be "popular." If a merchant ia liberal to a widow, the dog*a nose scents a acandal.

PRXACHBBS nowadays gtit a great deal into their prayers .sometimes matter that the congregation does not expect, and it would seem like the Almighty wasn't exactly looking for. Recently in California a jury etnpanneDed in a murder trial, finding themselves bound tor

Sunday together, desired to go to church, and the sheriff accordingly took tham to the P« eeby terian Church. They ware under the usual ordetaof thejadge, to avoid consultation oa the subject of the trial, neither to speak to any one nor allow any one to apeak to them about the matter. The minister wss awars ef tbiori«r,mdiMfl6ao«|mBeitotkcl presence until prayer time, when, believing that he had them secure, be prayed: "Oh, Lord, have mercy on the unfortunate man now on trial in thia town for

murder. Have mercy upon the jury, and so influenoe them that they may temper justice with mercy, ana if they have any doubts of the guilt of. the prisoner may they be led by Thy Holy Spirit to give the prisoner the benefit of that doubt." Here the sheriff, seeing the drift of the petition* astonished minister «"i congregation, as he ordered the jury to follow him and left the church.

THE late Rev. Dr. Putnam wrote, on his last birthday, to a friend, the following touchingly beautlfal deecription of the state of feeling in which he saw his end approaching. It is worthy of being preserved as one of the most perfect pictures of patient serenity that the language aflords: "There are two kinds of happiness for man. The first and best is work—useful, unimpeded work. This is highest. It gives a sense of light and growth. With reasonable success it is God's best boon, The second is rest. When the

I miss the •bounding delight of exertion, but I escape the partial sense of failure—the haunting feeling that I do- not quite xl come uncerta waiting.

to the mark—and the anxious nty about future efforts. I sit

waning. "Friends are kind, children good, and the world goes fairly well with me. I think, on the whole, I never enjoyed living better. The summer is beautiful. I wait for winter, and for summer again if it come*, with placid expectation, but shall not be disappointed if it do not. Then I shall have the great beyond instead My cup is full. Providence is kind. If I am dying it is euthanasia."

I I BALANCE OF TRADE. Editor Saturday Evening Mail:

I am somewhat surprised at your Venturing to call in question the dictum of the Express upon matters Of finance and political economy. It is well known that its editor aspires to infallibility upon these subjects, will tolerate no dissent from his dogmas and reaches at once for the scalp of the unfortunate wight who has the temerity to dispute his s8sumptions. Fortunately his time is pretty well occupied in hunting down larger game—for example, in exposing the villainy of John Sherman, Ben Harrison and other tools of the Money

Power,

snd, in consequence, he has none

to spare upon smaller fry, including, of course, the editors of local papers. However, he found time enough to devote a half-column to The Mail snd to enunciate a great principle. The Mail, very properly, had criticised and com batted an assertion of the Express, that an adverse balance of trade is the very best thing for a nation. The Express re« torted in its

usual

style, half bullying,

half patronising, and in the course of the argument very kindly enlightened The Mail as follows: '-The question of the balance of trade is a complicated and difficult ene. We can present to The Mall, however, one of the plainest phases of the question, a study of which will easily show the fundamental error of the popular theory concerning It.

We will suppose that A Is a commission merchant or general dealer in New York. He purchases- for shipment to Liveroool one mlL'ion dollars' worth of cotton, ibis

Liverpool custom nouse

has taken on freight, Insurance and profit, and it is no longer a million dollars of eotton, but it has increased legitimately to say SI 200,000 in value. The uealer, A, orders that it be sold and the proceeds be invested In English railroad Iron for Bhipment to New York. The sum invested is #1,200,000. When it reaches this countvy it has again taken on freight, Insurance and profit, snd when it is registered at the New York custom house it amounts to, say, *1,400,000. The books of the New York cufetomhoute show that A shipped one million dol ors in cotton, and received back #l.«0,000 in iron. There is a bala Of trade against him of I400.U00, and yet the enterprise was a profitable and legitimate one, and the otyly kind that can be profitable."

How would it be if A was an English man and had sent a cargo of iron to this oountry, and with the proceeds hsd purchased a cargo of ootton In that case one million miliars' worth of iron would hsve exchanged for one millian dollars' worth of cotton, and the transaction would have exactly squsred with the custom bouse books. Now, in .point of fsct, a very large portion of the exporting and importing Business of this oountry is in the hands of foreigners and Is carried in foreign vessels. Tbelsrgest manufacturers snd merchants of Grest Britain, France and Germany have their agenciee and branch offices in New York and other oUlee, and through tbeee, much of the foreign trsde Is transacted.

If a railroad company wishes to purchase rails of a particular brand of Englleh manufacture, the order is given, to the agent in New York, who cables the same to the house in London or Liverpool, and when the rails are shipped a bill of exchange is drawn upon the sgency here, which is met when due by the note or bank check of the railroad company. If a house in London wishes to import a cargo of cotton. Instructions are sent to the New Ydrk sgent who buys the cotton of a broker, ships it to Liverpool, d*aws a bill upon his principal, sells it to an exchange broker, and with the proceeds pays for the cotton. In tbeee two cases the

rofits, insurance and freight will be in of the foreign dealers, and as most 6f the transactions are similar to these, the profits, etc., cannot be counted as offsetting our adverse balance of trade, and there must be some other way to account for it.

During the Ave years preceding the year of tbe crash, 1873, the exoess of imports over exports reached a yearly average of 44,000,000 dollars. In the last year it ran ss high as 116,000,000 dollars. During this time we were sending to Europe a vast amount of government, state, municipal and railroad bonds, which at that time found a ready tale there. The prooeeds of these sales were returned to ue in tbe shape of commodities—a larae portion being steel and iron rails—ana this is the only ree eonable way to account for this unfavor|KU bslSDC6e

Altar tbe crash of 1878 our railroad honda Ml into disreputo and became unsaleable, and later still these, with government and corporation bonde were returned torn and sold on European socount, and the proceeds went abroad in the shape of cotton, wheat, con, flour, gold. Consequently our exporte largely exceed our import^ becaaeo tly oountry le paying 08 Ita debts abroad, aawellJM remitting hrteceet on bonds atUlin the hande offotelgneta.

IMe state of affairs which forth the teara of oar journalistic Job Trotter, the Expreee, la realiy a cauae of thankfulness and congratulation. It •hows that our own eapUatlata are Investing In honda formerly held abroad,

and that the interest will hereafter be paid at home. Nations are in thia respect like individuala. If a farmer borrows largely on mortgage, and spends the money in unnecessary improvements upon his farm, refurnishes hie house, buys a piano, and Uvea ah extravagant life generally, superficial observers of the Expreee clan will say that he is a very prosperous man. but tbe shrewd knowing neighbor will be able to tell you to a day wnen thia state of things will end, and unavoidable retrenchment or bankruptcy will follow,

Tfie Express, in the article have quoted, makes this assertion: Our neighbor of The Mall will be aston ished to learn that eveiy writer upon political economy of any character, from Adam Smith to tbe present day. admita that (he fact of the balance of trade being In favor of a country is ah evidence that thatcoi try Is being Impoverished."

The only work on Political Economy that I have at hand is that of Professor Cairnes, and on page 4161 find this reference to the theory 'advanced by tbe Expreee "I have seen it lsid down with much exaltation over the ignorance of our ancestors, that the gain of our foreign commerce, Instead of being measured, ai was formerly thought, by tbe excess of exports over imports is, on the contrary, measured by the excess of imports over exports. A contributor to sn important provincial paper, writing some time usee under the influence ot this notion, calculated that tbe gain of Europe from her foreign trade amounted to about 100,000,000 pounds sterling this being about the amount by which her imports exceeded her exports in thst year. If I mistake not, it was apart of the doctrine that this sum represented the profits of our merchants engsged in foreign trsde. I may jnst add, as sufficient reductio ad absurdum, that, inasmuch as the external trade of many prosperous communities exhibits a constant excess of exports overimporte, it would follow from this view that all such communities sre undergoing stesdy course of impoverishment, and that those of their inhabitants who engage in foreign trade only incur losses on their investments. Such speculations show how little the Political Eoonomy of some among us is in advance of the ideas of the seventeenth century^'

It will thus be seen that one at least of tbe eminent writers upon Political Economy abjures the doctrine taught by our economic autocrat out here on the Wabash.

CATHOLICISM separated Gen. Sherman and his wife, and the departure of his favorite son to enter a European moa astery has nearly killed him. The reason why the general lives apart from his family—he in Washington and they in St. Louis—is that he will not tolerate tbe pre-ence of a priest uuder tbe same roof with him. Mrs. Sherman is the most ardent and active lay worker that the pope has in America she stands high in the counsels of the church, both at home and abroad, and her name is as familiar in Rome as the name of St. Agatha, although she wss never there in her life. She is tbe trustee in this country of 4Peter's pence'—the offerings of devout Catholics to the pope's private treasury—and shortly before he died, on the occasion of the anniversary of his Pontificate, tbe late Pius IX sent her a rosary of solid gold, with a fragment of "the true cross'* set in the crucifix as a

Eome

em. Her house in St. Louis is the and headquarters of all tbe migra tory priests of America. She is admitted to all the confidences of the church, and bishops and archbishops go to her for advice. On the contrary, General Sherman hates a priest with a profound hatred he despises their methods, and curses their cl«un as the destroyers of his home. ____________

DURING the eclipee the Pueblo Indians of Tace, New Mexico, were much agitated. The cbieftan of tbe village came forth in great excitement and declared that some one had committed a great sin and the deetruction of tbe village was imminent—or, at least, the extinotion.of the sun. Three trusted messengers were sent at once to tbe priests to conjure tbem to keep the eternal fire on the altar burning at its brightest, wbile sll tbe women of tbe village were ordered to strip themselves naked and run In jairs round tbe race course where the 'oot races take place. Thanks to these simple precautions tbe eclipee soon passed off. The custom of having the women run these races in a nude state is universal with the Puebloe on occasions of this kind. They have a tradition that Montezuma was betrayed into the hands of tbe Spsniards by his daughter, and it is thought probable that the requiring of the females to humiliate themselves as penacefor tbe original crime committed by one of their sex against this dignitary grows out of this tradition.
