Athens Ran net: Tho Banner editor,
while in Atlanta this week, met a gentle
man who interviewed Primus Jones about
his fir-t bale business. He told Mr. Ji m s
it was reported that ho began to pick bis
green bowls as soon as the lint formed and
spread out in tlie su i to dry. This in.
matured lint ho would gin, a sufficient
quantity being procured to form an out
side coating. The interior was last year’s
crop saved over iu the seed in a i
air-light room, wuio'i rendered it almost
impossible to detect it from new
cotton. Primus laughed at this reported
exposure of hi enteuprising work, and re
marked that s -met lines reports hit mightv
near the mark. He sai lhe was going to
quit this first bale business and hereafter
turn his attention to producing more cotton
to the mule than any planter in the south ;
that this season witnessed his last effort to
get the first bale iu market, and unless some
other Ge >rgia farmer took it up Texas
would herds fter carry off the palm.

WHY Wii LOSE OUR SIGHT.
Two Expert Oculists on the Eyes,
Their Maladies and Cures
(Copyright 1859.)
New York, July 13.—1 t was Bob Bur
dette, that prince of later-day newspaper
wit* who said that the babios of Boston
were so intellectual when born that they
came into the world with spectacles onl
lif course this was s rid m jest, but if you
will stop and consider for a moment, you
will find that nearly every other man,
woriiau and child you meet is wearing
glass**! to-day.
What does it mean?
That’s exactly the question I asked Dr.
Charles M Heady, senior surgeon of the
big New Y’ork Ophtnalinic Hospital and
msi e litor of the Journal of Ophthal
mology.
“I’ll tell you whst it means,” he replied,
throwing himself back on his couch and
preparing to be comfortable. “We live in
day* of progress and enterprise. Formerly
we did hot possess the precise instruments
which are ours to-day, nor the education to
find out in every case whether the person
required spectacles. Ten to fifteen years
ago, before the Metric system was adopted.
tho glasses commonly used then were no
weaker than tne old E gli h No. 00. At
present we tin 1 that a very large number
: f our cases which require the most atten
tion re thoM winch before the adoption of
the Metric system we had no glus* to cover.
The weakest glass was too strong for these
cases, ami it is only since the adoption of
the Metric system that we have to treat their
cases correctly with glasses. Further than
that,” continued the doctor, “itisonlyof
lain years that oculists have been suffi
ciently skilled to prescribe glasses for chil
dren who could not read with accuracy.
Formerly during the crude state of the
science it was difficult to find out, just wliut
glass the child needed. Now by means of
the onhthalmaseope we can learn ttie exact
refraction of the eye by simply looking
into it, and can thus disc ,ver almost pre
cisely th < correct number of glass required.
Then again, formerly the people were not
so well-educated as to tho cause of certain
symptoms as they are to-day. It is only of
late years that tho ordinary man thinks of
an oculist when persistent headache occurs.
Formerly they thoug t of the stomach, or,
indeed, anything in the world except the
real cause. Nowadays the average layman
has been sufficiently iufonned about the
c >nnection between headache and the eye
to think of an oculist if he suffers from per
ustrnt In adarhe symptoms.
“Another reason is that whereas form
erly people wore spectacles when they felt
the need of them,it is known now that many
people who do not feel tho need of them
nevertheless should wear them. The squint
or cross yo is wry frequently produced, in
tho majority of cases, perhaps, tiy the noo
ißsity for spectacles, and when we find that
a child has uuy of these symptoms, and re
quire, a glass, the parents will let u* put it
on, where, otherwise, they would not, and
thus where squint skeins to be beginning,
by putting oil glasses wo can stop it. If a
case of cross eyes should tiseome firmly
fixed in the muscles we cannot cure it by
moans of glasses, but when in the incipient
s nte wo ran frequently <lo good by putting
on a pair of suitable glasses.
“In the case of astigmatism,” continued
the doctor, “wo formerly did not consider
ihat a slight degree of astigmatism was
necessary to correct with glasses. Now we
find that some of the most formidable
symptoms are duo to the very slightest
degrees of astigmatism. The glass—equiv
alent to the old English No. 144- which is
the weakest glass we are able to use now,and
which is so weak that it. can hardly be
called a lens, is found to remedy many
cases of a- lg motion which under the old
English numbering we never discovered,
because the highest glass was sixty. Since
we have bad the new Metric system with
weak glasses and the excellent moans of
discovering astigmatism which we now pos
sess, the number of cases prescribed for
this trouble has vastly increased. Iu the
year 1876 in the New York Ophthalmic
hospital out of 605 cases of refraction
only 33’wore found to be astigmatic, and In
18S8 out of 12,057 cases of refraction we had
of astigmatism 379, showing an mcreaso of
about 1(> per cent.”
“What do you mean by the term astig
matism, dootor?”
“Astigmatism?” repeated the doctor,
slightly raising his eyebrows. "Well it is
that condition in which two meridians of
the eye at right angles arc of different re
fraction. The vertical meridian may re
quire a convex, and the horizontal a con
cave lens, or aver tical meridian inay re
quire a convex or a concave lens, and the
horizontal men lian the same glass but
more of it, or one meridian may require a
convex glass, the opp site a concave glass.
The first is called simple astigmatism, the
second is compound astigmatism and tho
third mixed astigmat ism.”
“What progress has teen made lately in
teaching us how to properly care for the
eyes?”
"The general public is vory much hotter
informed of late years on the needs of the
eye than formerly. Now in the eye hos
pital where the v. tv lowest class of po -plo
come to be treated it is the commonest
thing in tho world for a patient of tho most
ignorant class to seat himself : efore the
doctor and say. ‘Doctor, I have been hav
ing a groat deal of headache lately about
the eyes and I think I must need glasses,
and this often when tho pati nt is not old
enough to need glasses. This shows an
education to a higher point than formerly.”
“Given a good pair eyes at birth, and
barring accidents, how long should sight
remain good?”
“Until death,” promptly responded the
doctor. * “There is no natural condition
which destroys the sight. If nothing has
been done to the eyes, and if the patient
started with a good pair they should last
until death.”
“Ist ere any cure for bl indness ?”
“Blindness,” repeated the doctor in a
startled tone, “that depends on wi at sort
of blindness you tnaan. Biindnoss which
is due to the atrophy or dest ruction of the
optic nerve iu any of i*s courses, or which
is due to the atrophy of the brain centers of
sight, or which is due to the absolute de
struction of the conducting or refracting
portion of tho eye there is no cure, but for
bliudness due to the throwing out of mor
bid material in the eye, or to temporary
pressure of the optic nerve much can Lie
done. The destruction of ihe nerve cannot
be cured, but where there is anything to be
removed or exchanged bv the various oner
TIIE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 14, 1880.
i
ations which we make this condition can
be cured. Cataract, or opacity of the lens of
I tho eye, which make* the sufferer soe as
through ground glass, can be easily cured by
operation, aud the patient will see with tbe
aid of a glass nearly as well as ever."
“What is the most common malady of
the eyes !"
"VV eii, I mot with an instance of this
some time ago in one of onr hospitals. A
man who was suffering from a cataract
underwent an operation and had it suc
cessfully exti acteii. The patisnt, woo was
an old men and very religious, was sitting
in his bed afterward, and heexpressed the
de-tire to hav -his other eye cured without
op-ration. So he and: a . cd to the L rd about
it, and suddenly he saw out of tbe other
eye. On examination by the. bouse physi
cian It was found that he could se*> out of
that eye, and that it could be explained
from the fact that the cataract or the lens
standing behind the pupil had drop;ed
from purely natural causes. The old man
believes to this day that it was a miracle,
but, if course, we know that it was not.
This fact may explain other cases of so
called faith cure and Christian science.
Another case I meet with was that of a man
suffering from tbe same disease who used
hen’s grease with tbe same result aud from
the same cause.
“ I have only one thing to add and that
is this, that it is almost as important to
have the framework of the spectacles ad
justed to the face as to have the glasses
suited to the eyes.”

WALL STREET FIGHTERS.
The "Manly Art” One of the Most Pop
ular Sports of the Stock Brokers.
(Copyrighted 1859.)
New York, July IS —The Bullivan-Kil
rain fight was tho principal topic of conver
sation on the great down-town exchanges of
New York during the early part of this
week. And no wonder, when we consider
the fact that the average stock broker is
well up in the “manly art.” Billy Edwards,
formerly a prize fighter, used to give lessons
to br ikers, assisted by his brother Warren.
“Professors” Mike Donovan, John Long
and William McClellan now constitute the
fistic faculty, so to speak, in the Wall street
curriculum of culture. For an ordinary
lesson at the professors’ robin, which is in
the vicinity of the stock exchange, the
broker pays $1 50. When the professor
gives a lesson at the broker’s house the
charge is $5, but this includes the care of
the pupil’s boxing gloves, rubbing him
down after the lesson and giviug him a
bath. Ono of the best boxers in Wall
street is Albert V. de U nemria, form
erly pre-idtmt of the New York Athletic
Club aud one of the” governors of the stock
exchange. He is under the medium hight,
powerfully built, and weighs about 175
pounds. He lias a long reach, and his glove
strikes like a stone from a Roman catapult.
Ua one occasion he is said to have com -
pletely discomfited Mike Donovau. A
plaster cast of hi- arm is displayed at the
Athletic club house. He married a
daughter of the late William Wall, once
mayor of Williamsburg, now Brooklyn, E.
D. He is a Cuban by birth.
The taste for boxing among men of polite
and cultured associations is a rather curious
feature of the times. No nation ever car
ried sports to such a degree of perfection as
the Greeks, and they despised the boxer.
The Farnese hereules was a type of the
great, dulled, brutalized athlete, whose
heavy, unwieldy body was unfit for war,
aud who at the Olympic, Nemeau, Isthmian
aud the Pythian garnet figured in b >xing,
winding hard thongs around his arms and
hands to make the blows more severe. The
Spartans, probably tho most warlike nation
that ever lived, would not tolerate the
boxer. Tbe Greeks liked the slender and
more active Hermes, whose beautiful figure
is shown in the statue in the Vatican. An
athlete of this more refined type might win
national fame and bring honor to his native
city and be celebrated by Pindar’s verse
through a victory achieved as a runner
through the deep sand of the course at
Olympia.
But as to all kinds of amusements, the
ncute Asiatic inind of Emerson, doubtless
perceived the truth when he said: “Our
pleasures differ more in quality than in
quantity.” David Wkchsler.
