Hack from Glasgow to his eot- tage homo ami.l 1 ho lulls and dales.of Scotland wont John Oar- ruth last night, says a London lot- tain, mamas Building. -MIN' a. DAILY HAC^ DTTSTiE to and from G ainesyille. FARE, *1.50- tor to tho Oinmnatti Oi.mmcndal Tribune. A notable homecoming it was, for wit hin a month a mir acle of science had been perform ed, and the priceless Idessing of sight lmd been given to eyes that from birth had been sightless. On April 2 I John Cr.rruth left his homo at Croft Head, bridge of Weir, for tho Ophthalmic In stitution, Glasgow. From amid the beauties of nature, of whose glories lie could not tell, he went to dwell in the gloomy building planted in the midst of business oflices in West Regent street, Glasgow, and hero, after opera tions the success of which forms one of the sensations of the surgi cal world today, he enjoyed his first vision of things on earth. In his humble home last night he told the.story of bis discovery to your correspondent. Could those who are bored with the sights of tho day, for whom city and country life alike have lost their charm, have beheld the over whelming joy of this man who, at the age of 80, saw for the first time the place in which he had spent his days, it is probable that they would themselves have found at that moment an entirely new and contented interest in life. 1 [ehvas brought from the insti tution by his mother, and proudly he walked with her down the vil lage street to their home in a cot tage at the extreme end of Bridge of Weir. Here in the large kitch en he was received with gladness by his sister, whom he beheld for the first time, and his first act was to go through to the garden in which, in his days of darkness, he had spent so many hours of labor. There he related how he had worked when blind. He had grown flowers and sent them to market, he had even delivered parcels for a grocer, taking them out in a van and delivering them without a mistake. Following this came the tale of his own and his mother’s long hope that some day and in some way, they knew not how, his sight would I>0 re stored. They did not know of such places as the Opthalmic Institu tion, dwelling here in the most out-of-way part of an isolated vil lage, but they vaguely felt, so Carruth himself says, that some thing would occur, and so it did. j a medical student came on the j scene and stayed at the village and I heard of Carrutha work and his blindness from birth. The rest is soon told. Through t he agency of the stu dent and through Dr. Maitland llamsey (consulting surgeon), and I)r. Si0wart- (Glasgow Infirmary), John Carruth can now behold the beauties of the world in which he dwells, recognizes those friends | whom he has hitherto only known ! i by touch and sound of voice and ■ behold the colors and beauty of j the flowers he has cultivated. The first face he saw was that of Dr. Stewart. He did not know 1 what it was at first, hut when tho | doctor spoke ho knew that ; he was looking at must bo a 11 was like a dream. ruth, “all was so beautiful.’ 'hen the dav after the operation That was the day the bandage were removed. Then Carrut h be-j held the first woman lie had over) seen, tfhe \Vas Nurse MM lor. “1 | knew she was a woman, because 1 her face was pale and smooth. I was too long in seeing Dr. Ram say. I wish I could have seen his face first. No words were too good for ’•nurse” or for all the nurses. Ami his mother! With what emotion he spoke of the first time he saw her, “1 kind of -surprised her.” lie said proudly. “She came to the ward and said: ‘How are you getting oh?’ (Veil, I had a peep at lu-r sideways and asked her how many wrinkles she had on f her brow. Then she said, joy fully: ‘You can &oe. How can you tell? Can you c< unt them?’ 1 could not see aye enough for that, but 1 could see her dear face.” Poor Carruth. He was nearly in tears as he told of this, the i most pathetic incident of his re covery. His mother is lovely, he says. How delightful is this phase of his new-found vision. Then what does he think of women now that he first beholds them? They are very beautiful, he says. “They all seem so good. 1 think the world and tho people in it are fine. 1 have always (this with a touch of pride) thought a great deal of the ladies, and now ■it is so good to seo their faces, to look at them in their fine dresses. “They always told me women were my best friends, and I al ways knew they wore, now 1 know it more than ever. They are so kind and gentle, beautiful and graceful.” What did he think of the earth? “Oh, it is lovely. Bo much love lier and greater than I had ever thought or imagined. 1 am sur prised and overjoyed. I had nev er thought there was such diff'er- ence and variety in the appearance of things. Coining homo I was really overwhelmed as wo rushed past the green fields and trees. fm 19 General Merchandise. Deal cur in ALL KINDS op SHOES F(|R Ladies and Gents.

He looks upon it as al most a royal blessing on his re covery, and as the brightest promise of a happy future. He saw the royal procession in Glas gow from a window above a chem ist’s shop. “Simply splendid,” said Carruth. “I nearly cried for j°y-” Poor Carruth’s language fails to describe all that he has seen since that first wonderful flash which came upon him in the somber ward of the eye institution. But the crowds-—these impressed Car- l’uih. He had 110 idea there were so many persons ou the earth. “Whey, they are all round about me.” The cavalry escort of their majesties was wonderful, and above all the colors astonished him. In short, Carruth, the man of 80, is hut a child. He is learning every moment. Already he can tell the time, and has copied his 1 own name on the blackboard. He has come into the world anew with all lus faculties, and although to some extent he is guided by his imaginings, yet all the earth is as strange to him as it is to tho dawn- j ing intelligence of gifted child hood. With her marriage to a promh nont next young man of the county oi.iy a mouth in tho future, Miss Eva Hayes died last week at Pen dergrass. Hiss Hayes’ death was caused by her long service nurse to two older s- no -ptioji, ifiauhs Mow To Kiss. . By Johnnie (Jr, Thousands upon thousands of well educated people go through life and never learn the art of kiss ing, an accomplishment m our ex perience worth mare than all the learning of the great Sanhedrim. Very true people do extract some pleasure out of a kiss, hut they never feol that blissful rapt me that tingle* and dances along every nerve from the medulla oblongata to the very termini of Ihu great sciatic. Every son of fallen humanity should feel and know tho ecstatic joy. The following rule is freely given to all those who have Hi mi - derod over a simple littU kiss. It is absurd to to think how few peo ple pcrfofrn kissing correctly. All men of sentiment read carefully: It makes not a pavliclc-of difler-i cnee whether your girl is young or old, homely or beautiful, low or tall, thick or thin, the oolyubsolute requisite is love. To make a kiss a success she must lend a helping hand and not dodge, or squeal as if she objected. Not a word iiaiust be spoken. Never be in a 'hurry haste mars everything. Put your right arm over her left shoulder and clasp her right hand with your left. The arm must now slide slowly down her back to her waist—but don’t be in a hurry. Send n little thrill down your arm and press her close to your .heart. Look lovingly into her eyes and bend your head till your lips al most touch hers—till you feel her soft balmy breath. Let your mustache sweep lightly across her lips by way of preliminary—but do not hurry. Aim fairly and hit squarely. Let the four lips come softly together and smack, so to speak, into the sweetest homogeiu# ousness. Look tenderly into her upturned eyes, whiloevery tendon, muscle and nerve quivers with de light and fancy bathos her plu mage in a sea <:f bliss and soars through an atmosphere redolent of where every passion and ap petite inherited in Adam’s fall is relined and all is swallowed up in love—and you arc a natural born iiliot if you hurry now, “Humid seal of soft effeution; Tcmlercet pledge of future bliss; Dearest tie of young connection; Love’s first snowdrop, virgin’* - kiss.” To every man of so*'' will obseryo tho CITY DIRECTORY SUPERIOR COURT. 3rd Mondays in April and Octo ber.
