PROF. HERTZ, of St. Paul, Minn., a teacher of modern .languages, lost his sight in the winter of 1885, and medical treat­ ment failed to restore it. Recently he has resorted to the faith cure, and is slowly re­ gaining the use of his eyes. His system is to make the sign qf the cross after each meal and utter a prayer. He can now see his hands when close to his face. BritGLARS entered the jewelry store of Sheldon, Sweep & Co., at Terre Haute, Ind., and attempted to overpower Edward Patterson, who sleeps over the store, and force him to give them the combination of the safe. One of the burglars, in the scuffle, cut Patterson seventeen times with a razor, and the latter fired five shots at his assail­ ants, who escaped. The gang set fire to the building before leaving. No clue to their identity has been found. AT Cleveland, Ohio, the Sheriff sold $1,022,000 of Cincinnati, Wabash and Michigan stock, given by Ives and Stayner to the President of the road as security for $765,000, thus disposing of Ives and Stayner's last claim against the Cincin­ nati, Wabash and Michigan. MRS. SCSAN BOOKWALTF.P., one of the pioneer women of Ohio, died at Spring­ field, aged 82.

Steele, Re­ cording Secretary; and Gen. Joseph S. Fullerton, Treasurer. A long list of Vice Presidents was chosen, among them being Gen. Harrison from Indiana and Colonel A. F. Stevenson from Illinois. The society appointed a committee to co-operate with other organizations in the erection of a monument to Gen. Sheridan. Resolutions respecting his death were also adopted. A committee was appointed to consider the propriety of asking Congress for an appro­ priation to purchase the battle»field of Chickamauga. Col. AV. McMichael of New York was chosen for the next orator, with E. D. Meyer of Ohio as alternate. W. G. HANLEY, of Minneapolis, Minn., commission dealer and cashier for D. C. Moak & Co., has been arrested on the charge of stealing 15,000 bushels of wheat from the Minneapolis Union Elevator by overloading cars. The suspension of D. C. Moak & Co., who have assigned, is considered a singular coincidence. It is alleged that over 70,000 bushels of grain have been stolen, and that many well- known dealers are suspected of com­ plicity in the crime. WILLIAM H. ROBINSON, candidate for Republican Elector-at-Large and Mayor of Fairfield, IU., is dead.

THE signal-service weather-crop bul­ letin Bays that reports ftom the corn belt, including Indiana.

[Chicago special dispatoh.] The nineteenth annual reunion of the Soclety.ot the Army of the Cumberland was held in this eity, and an unusual number of old IM were present. White hair and faded features wero more conspicuous than the blue coats or Rold-oorded hats. The tread of these old men was slow and heavy. Their Bmbe, shrunken and a-quivernow, onoe marked In elastic step the quick, mili­ tary "tlnte." The hands that accompanied the "heUo. Jim," with a whack on the shoul­ der, Werifrthln and seamod. Tho stroke was heartier than the voice. The old men gath­ ered in • little groups or sat in clustered chairs in tho hotel rotunda, and talked about the war. They were not the gay, rollicking fellows who told wild yarns of tho war over the social glass twenty years ago. Their t(tlk was about Chiekamaugu. Look­ out Mountain, or Stone River, and scarce m GEN. BOSECBAXS. an incident did not awaken the recollection of the death of one or more of the actors in it. In a few years these war stories will become traditions, and the warriors them­ selves reminiscences. Gen. Rosecrans was the most distinguish­ ed appearing soldier present at the recep­ tion In Central Music Hall, and conspicu­ ously in the front row of chairs on the stage was one chair draped with the national flag and folds of black. Above the chair, leaning from the organ balcony, was a life- size portrait of Gen. Sheridan. A knot of patriotic ribbon at the bottom of the picture relieved tho heavy border of crape. At the time of his death Gen, Sheridan was Presi­ dent of the Army of the Cumberland, and the society was holding a public meeting in honor of its dead chief. Strands of bunting hung from the organ and draped the stage balcony and platform. At one corner stood the tattered flag which floated over Gen. Thomas' headquarters during the Stone River campaign. Beside the vacant chair sat General Rose­ crans. Chairman of the meeting. A smile glinted through the short-cropped gray mustache wbOn Mayor Roche spoke in a eulogistic strain ^f tho Army of the Cum­ berland. General Itosecrans organized the Army of the Cumberland, and was its commander until Sep­ tember, 1863. Another old lighter in the front row of chairs was General James E. Morgan, of Quiacy, the oldest member of the society. Mr. Morgan enlisted in 1864 and served a year in the Mexican war. He entered the Union army a month after Fort Sumter was flred on and served through the war. He is in his seventy-ninth year, but his step is as brisk as it was when he was mustered out twenty-three years ago. In the same row of chairs was a thin- faoed, bright-eyed, pleasant-looking man. with a narrow, almost white beard cn his chin, a long, drooping mustache, and dark- gray hair, thin in front, and of moderate length. The low-cut vest, sea of tyhite luien, the broadcloth claw-hammer, and the patent-leather boots were something of u contrast to the ragged garments worn by one Russell A, Alger when a barefoot lad e sparred.with the world for a chance to All his stomach. Now a ten-millionaire and an ex-Governor. <{ith the added distinction of having madva elose race for the Presiden­ tial nomination, the tall, straight, fashiona­ bly attired gentleman was received with .rounds of hand-clapping as he walked 'to bis chair. On tho platform, also, was Gen. Park- hurst, with a mass of white hair and beard and blagk, heavy eyebrows. On Gen. Rosecrans' left was Gen. T. L. Wood, whose misinterpretation of Gen. Rosecrans' order at Chickamauga was one of the causes of the disastrotis results of the two days' light. Among the distinguished men on tho plat­ form were: Generals T. T. Crittenden, Nathan Kimball, Warren Keifer. C. C. Doo- little. J. A. Barnett, J. C. llobinson, 8. D. Atkins, and J. E. Smith. A number of local warriors were also on tho stage. Mayor Roche extended to the old soldiers the regulation address of welcome. Gen. Roseorans presented the orator of the evening, CoL Henry Stone, of Boston, Mass. Col. Stone sa;d that the society met under the shadow of a deep grief for the loss of its President, Gen. Phil Sheridan. In a brief tribute to the dead leader, he said: "While other armies have shared in his later victories, he is all ours." After twenty- three years, continued the speaker, the wonderful progress of our country seemed like a dream. Then followed tho history of the origin and achievements of the Army of the Cumberland; its members coming chiefly from Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio, it was the central part of the nation's army. Its first commander was „ custom, few uniform coat was buttoned to his ehln. and he looked every inch a soldier, as he was. When he received his ap­ pointment his surprise and delight seemed about equal. Boon he was sur­ rounded by his brother Staff officers, who were profuse in their congratulation*, and when one of them proposed his health with the hope tkat his Colonel's oommlftion would be 'only a stop to a Brigadier's star,' Sheridan replied instantly: *No, thank you; I nm now a Colonel of cavalry and have all the rank I wish.' His supposed senith was but his horizon. Thus we see how little men know even of themselves. The fond­ est ambition gratified gratifies not at all. The things we think will fully satisfy us. once gafned. are found to lack the pleasure we anticipated? We are constantly looking beyond, eager for the morrow that never comes, and too apt to forget the blessings of to-day. Perhaps it is well it is thus, else man would be content with this life, giving little thought to the life beyond. "As before stated, the evening of the day Col. Sheridan received his appointment he appeared in camp and assumed command of his regiment. He wore his captain's uniform coat, with its row of buttons and a pair of infantry colonel's shoulder-straps; the latter probably were all he could procure after his appointment. He was a resolute man, and his command soon learned the fact that, unless in camp, two parties were in constant danger--tho 'enemy and themselves. He was always genial and easily approaohed except in battle, when his whole nature seemed to change, and woo to the man who crossed him while the light was on. Speak- •ing of this fact not a year since, when told I he was always ugly in battle, he replied: 'I guess that was so; it was the way I always felt.' "I have given you this early sketch of the General that you may see how he appeared when he started on his famous career. Thanks to the genius of our institutions we have no hereditary titles, and high birth adds in the race of life neither advantage nor the converse. Upon the acts of the in­ dividual rest his success or failure. True, surroundings and opportunity aid in paving the way, but no substantial success follows ^accidents." 1 Of the secret of Gen. Sheridan's success the speaker said: "One of the strong characteristics of Gen. pheridan was his intense devotion to the cause of the North. Soldiering, with him, |was not a mere occupation, a road to gratify personal ambition, but he believed intensely that rebellion was a crime and that it ought to be punished. He had no patience what­ ever with the people of the North who either sympathized with the rebellion or spoke discouragingly about putting it down, or dis­ paragingly of the force that was. crushing it. It was this intense earnestness that made his success. His appearance upon the fleid at any time during a battle always created the wildest enthusiasm. He handled a regi­ ment as though it were an army, and an army was managed by him as though it were a regiment." Gen. Alger quoted expressions of Grant and Sherman extolling the genius and quali­ ties of Gen. Sheridan, and pointed the les­ sons to be drawn from his career. Continu­ ing, he said: "Sheridan was happy in living in tho glory of his own fame, and his fondest friends can hope for no more than that the future may concur with his own time in doiug him honor.

Anderson, "a native of Kentucky and a soldier of the nation." CoL Stone de­ scribed the attempt and failure of Kentucky to maintain neutrality; how its action in arming its Stnte militia roused anger on both sides and kept all in suspense; how the schemes of Buckner, Folk, and Pillow were frustrated, and the State entered, first by the Confederates at Columbus, aud then by tho Union troops under Grant at Pa­ ducah. - The name or Joe Holt, Secretary of War during tho "unspeakable administration of Buchanan." called forth loud applause, as did the reference to "the proverbial slowness of Gen. Thomas, for which he was distin­ guished. and which always enabled him in some miraculous manner, to be in the right place at the right time." Col. Stone spoke of the time when Gen. Sherman was in com­ mand, and of the appointment bv McClellan of Gen. Buell, saying that at this time they learned to become soldiers, and that this was the beginning ot the end, that the triumphs which followed were the result of the dis­ cipline of the training camps. After relat­ ing the subsequent victories of the Army of the Cumberland, the speaker closed with the words: "Such scenes may never return, but the cause for which we struggled is im­ mortal. The past is secure, the future wakes no fears." Gen. Alger, after the applause incident to his introduction had subsided, entered upon his eulogy of Gen. Sheridan. After reciting the chief incidents of tho General's career, he said: "Let me sketch Sheridan to you as he ap­ peared standing in front of his tent on the eventful May morning when the letter ap­ pointing him Colonel of the Second Michi­ gan Cavalry, sent by Michigan's famous war Governor, Austin Blair, was handed to hlau In s'~»-ure about 5 feet & inches, weight OEM.

Sheridan was one of those who accepted good fortune as it came, content to fill tho place assigned him to his best ability, and with very little of that con­ suming ambition which poers into tho fu­ ture, and from the cabin at one end of life's journey sees the palacc rising at the other." After paying a glowing tribute to the vet­ eran soldiers of the Union causo, and invok­ ing upon them the nation's gratitude und blessings. Gen. Alger concluded with this peroration: "Great soul; loving father; devoted hus­ band; loyal friend! Your life, your affection for your country, your record as a soldtor and as a man, are the heritage of a grateful nation. A country brokon you helped to re­ build; a divided sentiment you helped to mako one. On the bow of promise which, spanning this great land, assures us thut 'peace, unity, and concord' shall remain forever, are inscribed the names of the men who placed it there, and at its apex shines in letters as bright as the day, that shall nevdr fade, the immortal name-- Sheridan." At the conclusion of General Algor's eulogy the applause lasted for a minute or more. A moment later the drum sounded "taps" and the band played the solemn strains of the "Dead March in Saul." Then the old veterans climbed upon the stage and shook hands with the gray-heads who had led them to battle. One old man ran after Gen Alger and graspad his hand. "I was the first man man to enlist in Gen. Sheri­ dan's regiment," he said. "I want to shake your hand and thank you for the words you spoke of him." For a minute they stood and shook each other's hands. Tears dulled the sight of the old soldio* when he loosed the General's hand. After leaving Central Music Hall the vet­ erans gathered in the dining hall of-the Grand Pacific and partook of an elegant lunch. Gen. W. E. Strong, on behalf ot the Loval Legion of Chicago, made a stirring address of weleom/s. and amid cries of "Rosy," "Rosy," "Old Rosy." the old General was led forward and responded in a brief speech. Then followed a number of the good old songs and more speeches and more wine, and for several hours tho old boys dropped a quarter of a century out of their lives.' THE BUSINESS MEETING. The Reading of Reports--Death of Old Cwii'ide*. CoL Stevenson called the business meet­ ing of the Army of the Cumberland to order at the Grand Pacific, and Gen. Rosecrans was made Chairman. The Rev. H. W. Thomas oiTbred prayer, and then the re­ ports of officers and committees were called for. Gen. J. 8. Fullerton, the Treasurer, reported that the balance in the treasury was $2,016.07, and Gen. H. M. Cist, the Secretary, that the published reports of the meetings were ready. The Memorial Com­ mittee reported the names of the following who had died since the previous meeting; Maj. Gen. W. L. Elliott. Surgeon E. A. Heighway. Maj. James A. Lowry, Gen. Philip H. Sheridan, Maj. Gen. W. L. Stough- ton, Maj. Gen. A. B. Underwood. Maj. Gen. W. C. Whitaker, CoL Charles T. Wing. Brig. Gen. Thomas L. Young, and Gen. Granville Moody. General Fullerton made a motion that a committee of nine bo appointed to attend to the erection of a monument to General Sheridun in Washington, and it was carried. General S. D. Atkins moved that the annual dues be reduced from $5 to $2. This was laid over until the next annual meeting. The question of admitting ladies to the ban­ quet provoked a great deal of discussion. One gray-haired veteran created a good deal of merriment by soberly suggesting that ladies bo also invited to the symposium. Col. Stevenson, for the local committee, set­ tled the matter by stating that the commit­ tee would be glad to have ladies invited, as they were, and the banquet wo3 a grand and pleasurable affair. m or THE uwrnm Mm worn* OV REPRESKXVATIVE8.

Unabashed by the astonished look in the eyes of the stifi-necked official, he introduced his business without waiting to be prompted. "Say, I want you to give me a pass to Boston." "A pass?--to Boston? What for. sir?" "Because I live down that way." "That may be, sir; but what claim have you on this road ? We can't do it for you." The villain hesitated, but was not lost. a "See here! Where are the overseers of the poor in this town?" "Well, I happen to be one of them myself. Why?" "Then I want you to send me to the poorhouse. I'm a pauper, and I'm just going to put myself on this town. Show's busted; I haven't a cent, and if you can't give me a pass I can't get away. Guess I'll go to the poorhouse until the season opens and I can get another job. Look after me as soon as you can, please, because I want to wash up and get something to eat. What do you say?" "M& Penholder, give this man a pass to Boston."--The Idea. A Martial Cataclysm. Presenting the greatest analogy with our earth of any of the planets, Mars is naturally an objcct of great interest at the times of its nearest approach. Dur­ ing the past few months its surface has been carefully studied by Perrotin, of Nica, and others, and if "their observa­ tions arc correct, it appears that our planetary neighbor has been the scene of changes since two years ago, with which inundations in China were quite insignificant. The equatorial land known as Sybia. covering an area larger than France, has been submerged, the entire district now presenting the ap­ pearance of a sea.

[Newark Advertiser.] A specific against drunkenness b* often been sought, but as yet there has 1 been found no remedy except that of moral determination. Although the re- form accomplished in this manner is en* * ; couraging, there is a wide field for the ' use of some physical method for thft | reclamation of besotted individuals who cannot be reached by moral suasion. Dr. Portugslow, a well-known physician and ^ writer, declares that the desire for I drink is a disease and must be treated ? by means of therapeutics. He claims 7 that as quinine is a specific again fever, so are subcutaneous injections of • strychnine the absolute means of curing i the passion for intoxicating liquors. It appears that so far back as 1873 this method of treating was employed, but it . attracted little attention. In 1884 the I celebrated French physician, Dujardin- * Boimetz, was a most zealous advocate of this method of treatment. The prejn- j aration and application of the injectira ^ is qyite simple. One grain of strvch- S nine is dissolved in 200 drops of watery ^ and the patient receives an injection o£ ^ five drops daily for a week or ten days, The effects of the injections are surpriw- ing; after two 'or three of them the- drunkard has an appetite and is able to ' sleep. If, after the expiration of sev- ; eral months, the desire for 3trong drinlg , returns^ the result of indulgence is si ^ distressing, palpitation of the heart, | headache, and other equally disturbing . effects, that it becomes impossible for i the jnebriate to touch another drop. It is recommended to make the injections ; during the drunken sleep, when the i patient awakens in the full possession ( of his senses and will ask for a second or third application. It would be an admirable arrangement if the police t surgeons would test this "cure" upon -s the intoxicated persons brought into the $ various stations. If this means of treat- J ing the deadly sin of intemperance be as successful as its advocates claim, the I family physician will be a powerful fac- ^ tor in the regeneration of society. It "s has been suggested by the Russian I press that stations be established in 1 every department of Russia for the sal- 1 vation of the army of drunkards. - J Strange Guests at Table. j The man who is born with a genuine I love of natural science, finds delight in unsightly crawling things, and eagerly ' adopts any means which will advance • i his study of their characteristics. Even "real lace," that darling of woman's heart, is not too costly a fabric for theit ;j resting-place. I At a dinner party given by George P. | 'Marsh, at which Rufus Choate and the i two naturalists, Mr. Baird and Prof. 3j Agassiz were present, the conversation J turned chiefly on scientific subjects. ?| After dinner Mr. Baird proposed to | show the company a specimen of batra- 1 cliia. The box containing the treasure 1 was produced, and the animal gently I lifted from its bedding. | "O Spencer!" exclaimed the youthful | Mrs. Baird, snatching up the delicate J web that lay in the bottom of the box, "this is my wedding handkerchief, for which I have searched so long! How could you take it for such a purpose?" "I was looking for something very soft, and didn't notice that it was a handkerchief," said the husband, with- 3 out the slightest discomposure, and the J amused wife, proud of her young scien- J tist, joined most heartily in the general | laughter. * f But all men are not born with a fond* 1 ness for wriggling animal life, and Mr. f phoate, who had a sensitive uervour oi'- * ,| ganization, was rather distressed by tho | strange animal, and perhaps still more 1 at the presence of a small snake that hact J also become a center of scientific admi- 1 ration. _J| Moving quietly toward one of the J ladies present, the great lawyer peti- | tioned: "May I beg you to intercede | with Baird for the reincarceration of those enormities of nature?" , c;| Then, seeing Mr. Agassiz absorbed in" 1 contemplation of the odd little frog, he < j added, quickly: . ^ "No, no; that gentleman is happy I | see. I shall do better to retire." And J with the words he was gone. \ The Motion of the Earth. 4| Any one can prove the rotary motion 3 of the earth on its axis by a simple ex- ' periment, for making which an educa- tional journal of Frankfort, Germany^ M gives the following directions: , | "Take a good-sized bowl, fill it nearly | full with water and place it upon the J floor of a room which is not exposed to a shaking or jarring from the street. | Sprinkle over the surface of the water | a coat of lycojx)dium powder, a white- I substance which is sometimes used for J the purposes of the toilet and which can ; ;| be obtained at almost any apothecary's. Then upon the surface of this coating ;«[| of powder make with powdered char- coal a straight, black iine, say an inch , | or two inches in length. J Having made this little black mark | with the charcoal powder 00 the sur- | face of the contents of the bowl, lay j down upon the floor, close to the bowl, a stick or some other straight object, so ' g that it will be exactly parallel with the mark. If the line happens to be parallel with a crack in the room, this will serve as well. Leave the bowl undisturbed for a few hours, and then observe tho position of the black mark with reference to the;/ object that it was parallel with. It will be found to have moved about, and to» have moved from east to west. The earth in simply revolving has, carried the water and everything else> in the bowl around with it, but the pow­ der has been left behind a little. , The line will always be found to have- moved from east to west, which is per­ fectly good proof that everything else-- has moved tne other way." Hot-Water Drinking. This practice is supposed by many to- be a sort of cure-all for human ailments. W. F. Hutchinson in the Americaih Magazine opposes tliis view. He says :: If hot water is ever of any value when swallowed, it must be by virtue of its heat alone, for below life temperature- (98 deg. Fahrenheit) it is a fair emetic;, above that it is a sharp stimulant-- so sharp, indeed, as to be badly borne by a- majority of stomachs. Hot'or cold, it is ever a bad plan to drink quantities of' fluid. Taken before meals, they dilute* ferments into debility; after eating, they seriously impede chyle formation by washing out too quickly unassimilated: nutritive fluid* It is a maxim of modern surgery that, heated applications to mucous surfaces cause congestion in a secondary way;, that, following sharp stimulus and con­ traction, comes a general relaxation of- blood-vessels that fill lazily and remain distended from lack of power to propel. blood forward. So I condemn the prac-r itiee of drinking hot water unqualifiedly.
