THE incandescent electric light has been veiy successfully employed by London surgeons in performing delicate operations upon the eye.

AT I MGWIIFL of the Arkansas Btpnbli state central committee at Little Rock .yesterday, a resolution was adopted declaring that Stephen W. Dorsey was no longer a citizen of Arkansas and therefore no longer entitled to represent that state on the national committee. Powell Clayton was recommended to fill the vacancy left by his removal from the state. This is black it gratitude when it is remembered that to Doreey's sdroit use of Star route money in this state, aided and abetted by John C. New. Indiana was carried three years ago.

REV. JOHN JASPER, the colored preacher ot Richmond, Va., who has acquired celebrity as the author of the theory thai "the eun do move," is in trouble. Some of his race have become jealous of aspens fame. This feeling finally eulmin ated in a rupture of Jasper's congregation. A council was held, composed of ministers and others from various Baptist churches in the vicinity. It was decided to withdraw thejhand of fellowship from Jasper and his church. The reason assigned for this ex-communication was that Jasper and his church had refused to recognize the other colored Baptist churches of the vicinage as sister churches. This act of the cou'ocil has created a great deal of excitement in colored church circles in Richmond. It is a fact not generally known that v. Jasper has a nephew here in Terre Haute in the person of a young man connected with tbe polishing department of a c.itj barber shop.

JOSEPH SMITH, of this city, brought to the GAZETTE office a copy of the Albany (N. Y.) Gazette of March 31, 1806. It is a curious old paper, lull of quaint reading matter and advertising notices. Among other things it contains a certificate ot the Controller of New York State that be has paid to John M. Crous the sum specified by "an act of the Legislature granting compensation to John M. Crous for discovering a cure for h} drophobia or canine madness," passed Feb. 28,1806, and that Crous had deposited the receipt at that office in tbe words and figures following, to wit: 1. Take one ounce of the jaw bone of a dog, browned and pulverized or pounded to fine dust. 2. Take the false tongue of a newly foaled colt Jet it also be dried and pulverized. 3. Take one scruple of tbe verdigrease which is raised on the surface of old copper by laying in moist earth the coppers of George I. and II. are the purest and best. Mix these ingredients together aud take one teaspoonful a day. In one hour after take the filings of the one-haif of a copper ol the above kind if to be bad, if not then a small increased quantity'of any ba-er metal of the kind in a small quantity of water.

The next morning fasting (or before eating) repeat the same as before. This, if complied with after the biting of the dog and before symptoms of madnesb will effectually prevent any appearance of tbe disorder but if after the i-ymptoms shall appear a physician must be immediately applied to administer the following: Three drams of the verdigrease mixed with half an ounce of calomel, to be taken at one dose. This quantity the physician need not fear to admin ister, as the reaction ot tbe venom then diffused throughout the whole system of the patient neutralizes considerably the powerful quality of tbe medicine.

It tbe patient in four hours thereafter is not completely relieved, administer four grains of pure opium, or 120 drops ot liquid laudanum.

N. B.—The patient must bo careful avoid the use of milk lor several days after taking any of tbe aforegoing medicine,

If this is a f&ir specimen of the receipts for which State Legislatures seventy years ago were in the habit of paying cash it is a good thing for tbe public that appropriations for that class of objects are no longer made.

GENERAL ROSKCRANS has prepared a measure that, if adopted and put in execution, will wipe out Mormonism so that not a vestige of it will remain. Gen. Rosecrans is the chairman of the Democratic congressional committee and 'it is thought his plan voices tbe sentiment ot the Democratic caucus. He proposes a constitutional amendment prohibiting polygamy for ratification by the states.

WHEBKAS, In pursuanoe of our duty to guard the development ol that larger and more rational liberty for every "unit ot society, and tbat higher civilization which consists in the domination of reason and justice over the passions by heedful constitutional amendments and previsions, we have forever prohibiteo such things as reason and experience have shown to be hostile or impeding to soch development, and among them tbe slave trade and even slavery itself and whereas, polygamy, condemned for its contravention of reason, its injustice u. women, its degrading influence on ih» character ot the female sex, its brutalizing effects on the male sex and its general repugnance to the spirit ot modern freedom and progress, has always been considered so unlikely to be toierated among us that no constitutional prohibition of it has hitherto been deemed necessary to prevent its growth uodei tne protection of state and territorial law and

Whereas, The absence of such prohibition has enabled designing men, undo

pretense of anew revelation from heaven to appeal to tbe interests and passions ot poor, ignorant people at home and abroad, and to teach them that religious sanctions and the United States allows tbe practice of polygamy and to diffuse the poison of this barbarian practice through the territories ef Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho. Montana, and Wyoming, to the great iojurv of the future wellbeing and liberties of the inhabitants thereof and to the interests and good name of the whole people therefore, by the senate and house ot representatives ot the United States of America, in congress ssssmMed, be it

RESOLVED, That pursuant to the provisions of article 5 of the constitution of the United States, the following amend ment to said constitution be and the same is hereby proposed for ratification by the legislatures of the several states— to-Wit: v-

AMENDMENT XVI:

Section 1. Polygamy being incompatible with other civilization, is forever prohibited in tbe United 8tates and all places under its jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this by appropriate legislation. RESOLVED, Thai the secretary of state shall promptly forward authenticated copies of this joint resolution to the several states.

The Anrero Occitfentatis.

To the Editor of the GArarri: Tbe red light ^een in the western sky after twilight is still a matter of much curious speculation. An ingenious writer in the GAZETTE, some days ago attributed the phenomena to changes in atmospheric refraction and reflection. If 1 remember aright, he argned that watery vapor and the suns rays furnish ed the conditions for this display. The weakness of this theory is that it rests upon an hypothesis which is negatived by some ol the well known phenomena ef refraction of the sun's rajs upon atery vapor. Such refraction unlform-

ly produces the rainbow with its inexorable order of colors eo familiar to all. Other writers conclude that we happen just now in tbe earth's course, to be passing through a ''stream of meteeric dust." Bat it this were so the light ought to be visible immediately over head during the day aud while the ob~ server occupies a position out off from direct sunlight, as in a well, for instance. From a well which discloses third magnitude stars at 2 p. m. or fourteen o'clock N. S. there are no signs of the "abend roth" as we see it at twilight and some hours afterward. Evidently the stream of meteorie dust is as objectionable as the vapor and refraction theory above mentioned.

Knowing how powerful a familiar nams is in allaying fears and doubts as to an unfamiliar object, 1 fancy 1 am doing a humanitarian work in announcing to my many fellow sky-gasers that tbe brilliant phenomena now holding the boards in tbe evening western sky is an old acquaintance the Zodiacal Light' It is true tbat just now the zodiacal light is putting on ag unexampled imount of style in the way of brilliant display. Probably no one of us ever saw it in such fullness of effulgence. This may be due to the fact that tbe aurora borealis has apparently retired from business leaving the whole ield of the nocturnal heavens to the zodiacal light and hence the latter feels called upon to do its best.

It must be remembered, however, that inhabitants of the tropics are treated to a nightly display of the zodiacal light even upon a much grander scale than this to us "greatest show on earth." Thus tbe Bev. George Jones, chaplain to the U. S. tapan expedition in 1858, made a great many observations of zodiacal light ]q tbe tropics. He found that the lateral spread of the light reached tbe wonderful magnitude of 90 degrees wbilo its vertical height above the norison was 40 degrees. An approximate estimate of our 'present display will show tbat it is scarcely inferior to the usual tropical exhibit. And curiously euougb we are just now having something approaching {t tropical winter. There is suggestiveness in the coincidence, to say tbe least.

Tnere are some curious facts about t^e zodiacal light, among which Is the well known one tbat the maximum intensity and brilliancy of this as well as tbe Hiirora-borealis has a period of eleven years—corresponding to the maximum period of sun spots. We also re member with a shudder tbat tbe great epidemics have a similar period and that cholera will therefore be due next summer. No rose without its thorn you sie.

Tbe name zodiacal light was conferred on the phenomena under discussion through a mistaken notion tbat it was due wholly to the sun and its nebulae. Modern research has demonstrated that it is much more probably due to the same series of terranean influences which prodnoe tbe aurora borealis. I therefore move that it be re-cbristened in keeping with its characteristics and ben to suggest the caption of this communication "Aurora Ojcidentalis."

WILL "FAITH" CURE?

Bevi Parry, Beck and Breeden Think There are no SQch Cores,.

While Revs. Summer

and

Severing'

haus Believe in Them-

Readers ol the GAZETTE are familiar with the reported enre by faith and prayer of Miss Agnes Baiter, who was cared some weeks ago by prayer, as she believes, at Lafayette, and who is now in the city, the guest at her sister, Mrs. P. P. Mischler. An interview with her was had by tbe GAZETTE some time ago. No one questions the honesty cf tbe statements of Miss Baiter and of her frien.le, bat there is of ooarse, wide difference ol opinion as to the cause of the core.

Father McEvoy stated to an Express reporter the other day his entire belief in faith care.

To arrive at the sentiment of some of the other members of the clerical profession the lol lowing interviews have, been made:

HIIV. XUMLFEFI.

A GAZBTTE reporter met Rev. Alfred Eummer this morning and asked him his opinion in regard to faith care. In substance he gave the following.^, "I believe in Faith cure. That Is, I believe that when a person is deserving and the Lord sees fit, He cares. I can not understand why if miracles were per forme in the days of Christ they can not be performed now. Certainly the power to perform those miracles exists to-day and can and I believe it is applied in many cases. Shadrach, Abedaego and Meshrack were cast into the fiery furnace and were delivered without the siigntest injury. If such was accomplished then, equally as miraculous things can be now My belief in Faith cure is very much strengthened by the fact that I have had

AN INSTANCE IH MY OWN FAMILT. The wife of my brotbe/, who is a mioister and has a charge at Erie, Penn., was an invalid for many years. Sbe was taken to the different watering places asd plac?d under treatment of celebrated physicians. She found no relief. When my brother was transferred to Erie there was in his church a praying circle of young ladies. At one of the'ir meetings the restoration of Mrs. Rummer was the sole subject of prayer. Tbe prayer was pnawered for sbe immediately recovered and tbe restoration of health was complete. Since then her health has continued good aad she has been very encrgetic in church work, especially in the

cause."

REV. SEVERINGHXV3.

Rev. Sevcringhaus, of the German Methodist Church, was next called apen and in answer to the reporters question replied briefly as follows: '1 believe that there are instances in which cures are effected by faith, but I do not believe that all tbe cases that are represented to be laith cures are by any means true. Occasionally there are remarkable cares and scientific men are mystified as to their cause. Such cures ns these are called faith cures on account of no other cause being attributed to the cure. A great many diseased persons seek divine aid by prayer for their restoration. Tbe faith cures are so very unfrequent that there could almost be an unexceptional rule made. If every one that was sick to go to the Lord in prayer and He should hear them, there would be no end to life. I do think though that when there yet remains some thing for a person to accomplish and when disease has a hold on him the Lord interp ses his aid and prolongs the life of the individual. Tbis is the extent to which I believe in Faith cures."

BEV. WHEELER.

Rev. J. K. Wheeler was next called upon and plied with the question. He said he had road the circumstanoes of the cure in the newspapers as an article of news but had attached no special significance to it. He had given no thought to Faith cures and therefore could not make any statement. No^case that had ever been termed a Faith cure had ever come under his immediate notice.

REV. 1CK. BREEDEN.

What do I think of the "faith cure I have no faith in it whatever. Whild not denying the testimony of Miss Baiter, and her friends as to the facts of her case would ascribe a different cause for the manifestation. 1 have acconumtd myself nevar call iu ilie supernatural to explain lacts where ibe natural will do jusi as well. In this morning's Express Rev. Beck strikes v-ry near the key notu ot explanation. My own opinion is mat tbe retkx influence of prayer :tnd the couC' i'. or belief ttia JGod would restore her WROUGHT FAVORABLY OS HSR

and stirred up her wili power so that she was aroused to fulfill her own prayer. Even in Christian circles there has been a powerful reaction in our day in' lavor of natural law. Why teach industry if prayer supercedes it? Why prosecute the science ot medicine if disease can be cured by magic, water or a mumbling of petition? And this suggests qutry: If there is any miraculous power imparted to these wonder-workers why do they not venture our, at least occasionally, into something bolder and less subject to suspicion than healing the sick ?—for this is a sphere in which there is so much room for tbe flow of the imagination, appeals to the will and the awakening of of psychologic influences, that there is an open door for the entrance ol delusion. Hot only Roman Catholics hut Mormons

and spiritualists claim great efficiency in healing the sick, bat did you never notice that oaack medicine men can get as undoubted testimonies of remarkable cures wroa'ght as any of them

Besides if there is supernatural power at work in these eases why does it not manifest itself, not simply in healing diseases but in all the variety of apostolic miracles. It might accommodate us with a case of re:urr«ction from the dead now and then.

Medicine men generally recognize the influence of the FAITH PRINCIPLE.

Dr. Carpenter, of London University, ays,: "There is a large body of trust* worthy evidence that permanent amendment has shown itself in a great number ot local maladies, when the patients have been sufficiently possessed by the expectation oi benefit and by faith in the efficacy of the means employed."

A volume cf such cures could be given but it is faith in mankind and the exercise of the will that does tbe work and not the miraculous interposition of God.

KBV. PARRY'S VIEW.

To a reporter of the Express who asked him what he thought of the faitb cure, tbe Rev. Mr. Parry said: ''All humbug. I read the remarks of Father McEvoy in the Express of tbis morning, and 1 see he attributes the cur? t3 faith. I have not much faith in thezn. But, mind I do not say that such thing might not be possible, but it is highly improbable. Now, there was that Chicago case in which Dr. Mitchell was interested. It was shown up to be a humbug, ana the good doctor made a public apology. There was a woman living near Cincinnati who attracted great attention by her claiming to have b-en cured by faitb she died of the same disease of which sbe claimed to be cured several yi-ars afterward. We often bear of these faith cures and tbey are becoming entirely too numerous for tbe go:d of tbe people. I believe in prayer I believe in tbe Bible and tbe Word as taug-h* by the blessed Savior I believe in answer to prayer, but I am not ready to accept the faitb cure yet.-' f' REV. BKCK

To tfie" same reporter Rnv. S&mtiei Beck said: "There is no authority for expecting miracles the New Testament gives no authority for expecting modern miracles, at least not in my opinion. do not say but there may be such a thing, but I am inclined to doubt it. I think the day of miraclcs is passed. 1 think that tbe so-callod miracles we have these days are the result of will power. I do not doubt-the testimony of Miss Baltor and her friends. Tbat she was sick I do not doubt, and was carried to tbe church. Tbe feelings wrought by the continued prayers may have excited her energy, which was dormant, and only needed to be excitea to give her control of berselt. I am a great believer in will power it will work wone'ers."
