Y., Oct. 24,—Physicians of all schools in this vicinity are puzzled by a case in the extreme northwest corner of the town of Villauova, in Chautauqua county. Charles Gibson and his family oc cupy an old log house, and from the sur rounding twenty acres they draw their main support. The family consists of Mr. amt Mrs. Gibson and three children, one a boy. The wonderful object in this humbie home is the eldost daughter, a very pretty girl of 16, who at her birth was noticed to have a peculiar expression about her eyes, but it was attributed to infancy, aud no special attention was paid to it, but when the time of life came that she should notice motions the sad discovery was made that she was blind. Mr. Gibsonjconsu.ted the best surgical skill in ills reach, but obtained no encouragement that Ins child would ever have her sight. But as the girl grew older it was discovered that artificial light quick ened her vision, and as the years rolled by she made evident the fact that the light from an oil lamp enabled her to see per fectly, while after sunrise she was as blind as a bat, so that she came to live in the night and slept during the day. Now the girl, grown to a maiden, is the wonder of all the country around, and a number of well known opticians have visited her, but without solving the strange phenomenon. She haj a quick and active mind, and her memory is remarkable. All branches of needlework she has mastered, and every book within tier reach Ims been so well read that she is better informed than the majority of young people. As if iu com pensation for her misfortune, her faculties appear to be more sensitive than usual,’and in every attribute of womanhood she is superior to her station in life. The secret of it all remains unsolved, and "while the lamp holds out to buru” she gives promise of continuing a puzzle to the medical tra ternit.y. Despite her peculiarity she is sunny in temperament, and enjoys, life as well as her more favored sister and brother, while excelling l>oth in all tile various ac coinplisbmeuts to which any of them could attain.

About $500,L00 Recovered from Dis honest Ex-Postmasters. Frodi the .Yen’ York VYorUi. Washington, Oct. 23. —Wiiiium D. Huy nhs, of the First Assistant Postmaster Gen eral’s office, said in an interview to-day: “There is very little competition in fourth l class ]x>-t offices now. Of about 53,000 such , offices, about 35,000 have changed hands ; under the present administration.” Mr. Haynie added thut, generally speaking, the most desirable offices had changed hands, but that there were still quite a number of paying offices in the hands of tho old incum bents. It is a remarkable fact that many fourth class post offices which used to puy the postmasters from SSO to 8)00 a quarter, do not pay the present incumbent more than one-tenth of that revenue. The reason is j that the new Democratic postmasters ! charge, apparently, just what their business j entities them to, w hereas their Republican predecessors charged just as much as they ; thought they could get from tho profligate | Republican administration. ‘‘The department,” said Chief Clerk Ray, “has very frequently to send out an in spector to see what is the reason for the seri ous tailing off in the postal business, as in dicated by reduced salaries earned by the new postmasters A postmaster now at the end of the quarter claims only $5 or $6 as the amount due him on the business of his office for the three months. The books show that his predecessor was i:i the habit of making S7O or SBU every quarter. The insjiector investigates and finds that there has been no apparent falling off in business. The office is not boycotted; fully as many people patronize it as formerly, and they send as much mail matter us they had lieen accustomed to send. “The explanation is that while the Re publican postmaster lmd only done $5 or $0 worth of business, lie represented that he had done ten times as much, and claimed accordingly. The department has practic ally had to take tho word of the postmaster. At least it has generally done so. The marked difference between the large '■barges made by the postmasters of the o: l regime and the small charges made by their Democratic successors, who didn’t know how to steal, suggested to the Democratic administration that there appeared to be something wrong and that on investigation was needed. “The investigation has proved that the Republican postmasters have been charging away out, of all proportion to the business done. The charge has been brought homo to a large number of them, and has been brought home so thoroughly that generally the delinquent readily returned to t,iie gov ernment what he had wrongfully drawn in years past, and whenever the delinquent official has tailed to settle, the bondsmen have generally come to the front with alacrity. In this way the Administration has already recovered about 8500,000 from Republican fourth-class postmasters, who had lieen in tlie habit of drawing for a big ger business than they really transacted.” Sam Jones’ Good Advice. Hate no one. It is not worth while. Your life is not long enough to make it i>ay to cherish ill will or hard thought toward anyone. What if this man has cheated you or that woman has played false I What if this friend has forsaken you in a time of need, or that one having won your utmost confidence, your warmest love, has con cluded that he prefers to reconsider and treat you as a stranger! Let it pass. What difference does it make to you in a few years when you go to the undiscovered country? . THE SYLVIA’S COTTON. Where It Was From—That Box of Matches. Editor Morning News: Of the Sylvia’s cotton you say “the cotton was not loaded from lighters, and hence had not been ex posed to sparks. It was loaded directly from the press.” The Sylvia had on board at time of fire about 4,100 bales of cotton. Received from city press 2.358 bales. Received the remain der from lighters, drays and Savannah, Florida and Western railway cars landed at Gordon’s wharf, and then trucked by hand to ship. “The matches found” were a box of ex ploded matches, as harmless as the same sized box of toothpicks. The Naples did not receive a single bale of cotton compressed by City Press. The Resolute only received 341 bales of cotton compressed by City Press. Press. [We are informed that no cotton from lighters had been received by the vessel for at least five days before the fire.] Consumption, Scrofula, General Debil ity, Wasting Diseases of Children, Chronic Coughs and Bronchitis, can be cured by the use of Scott’s Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil witji Hypophosphites.

POISON OAK, A Plague for 25 Years, But Cured by the Use of Prickly asii, Poke root, Potassium Dear Sir— ln 1801 I broke out with an attack of Poison (>ak. Whether or not if came back on me during the next three or four years 1 do not remember, but from about 1865 to 1885 1 suffered most severely from repeated attacks of this eruption. The use of some external remedies gave a relief—'t was only tem porary— till n iSV J I found that lodide of Potassium a id Syrup of Sarsaparilla benefited me not a little. However, even then I was not cured, for from 1882 to 1885 the attacks were more severe, pro longed and frequent than ever, coming upon me as many as four, and even five times timing the year. In the spring of 1885 1 took a course of P. P. P., and from t at time I have been free from eruptions of this poison. Only once, early in this month, a few bumps ap peared on my ivr, s. bill dried up in a day or two, being the dying throes, as it were, of this horrid and loathsome dis ease. After being plagued for about twenty-five years with Poison Oak I con sider myself cured, and by the use o' about one bottle of P. P. P. D. WATSON WINN. Rev.
