REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF RECOVERY Or SIGHT.—
In that tiny looking-glass, the opthalruoscope, the
medical profession possess a precious agent in the cure
of di swifts of the eye. Ten years ego, before this in-
vent on enabled the surgeon Co see bite the whole of
the nterior of the eye, and thus to become visually
acquainted with every feature of the disease, the
methods of treatment of the subtle and manifold forms
. ..

of eye diseases";;;;;—n-e-oes'ear"- ily-.Zet imperfect. We
will give a recent instance of the great benefit which
the opthalmoseope is capable of conferring. A few
days ago an aged woman brought her grandchild to the
London Opthaltnio Hospital to be treated for some
affection of the eyes. The child was attended to, and
the woman about to depart with it, when she said she
supposed the gentleman oould not do anything for her
eyes. She said that when about two years of age a
folic had been run into her left eye, that eatamet had
followed the injury, and she became blind in that eye.
A country surgeon had operated on her for cataract,
but the eight of the eye neveireturned. Mr. Words-
worth examined the eye by means of the opthalmos-
cope, and discovered that a little membrane obscuring
the retina had n .it been removed at the original opera-
tion, and that its presence had caused the blindness. ,
The old lady now submitted to have this obstruction '
removed, and she regained the precious sight of which
she had been deprived for nearly seventy years. The
restoration of vision WU most opportune, for, with
advancing years, a cataract was forming in the right
eye, which would have totally deprived her of sight in
a month or two.

WoMBWRI.L'e MENAGRR/r. -- EXTRAORDINARY
CIIRIORITY.—We had an opportunity of inspecting a
natural curiosity, the parallel of which has probably
never before been seen in this country. It consists of
a dwarf elephant, imported from Malacca, and will
doubtless form a most attractive feature in E6mand's
(better known as the late Mr. Wombwell's) celebrated
Zoological Menagerie. Though said to be full-grown,
And some twenty years of age, this singular creature is
only 30 Maims in height. It is, however, perfectly
formed and proportionate, and is, in fact, a complete
miniature of the larger species of the elephant tribe.
Its colour is nearly the same as the colo a 1 animal, and
it is very docile, and even playful. Its food consists
chiefly of rice, milk, and bread sweetened with sugar,
and when we saw him in company with his keeper he
seemed to be in eager anticipation of his evening meal.

Ma. WINDHAM, OF lINLLDRIGO HALL.—A gentleman
letely at the Cape of Good Hope, writing to a friend
in this district, says:—" Mr. 'Windham, whose sanity
was considered by • jury in London the other day, is
living here at the hotel. He expected his wife out
yesterday by the mail, but she did not eon's, and he is
in a very sad state of mind about it, crying and lament-
ing vehemently. I have had several conversations with
him; he converses quite rationally, but his general,
behaviour is decßedly peculiar. He goes about with
a monkey on his shoulder, and a doll in his arms, which
he keeps from its likeness to his wife; so he says. He
has a very large dog chain and collar. The American
Consul Galled on him one day, and Mr. W. was very
anxious to chain him to his best, as he did not like hire.
Windham is extremely fond of the air "014 Bob

would, however, be cruelty to confine hint in an asylum,
as I don't think be is mad."—Arbroatk Gukk.

"ANOTHER OF THE BRITISH LIONS which Was
always surrounded WAS Benson's mysterious clock, of
which the wheels are at one end of the building and the
hands and dial at another. The magnificent arrange-
ment of wheels, springs, cylinders, and levers are there
to speak for themselves end all the foreign watch-
makers have acknowledged them to be masterpiecialo
their way; but the puzzle was to understand how the
momentum they creates could, almost like the electric
fluid, be conveyed and regulated along slender iron rods
300 feet in length, and made to move with the exacted
precision the gigantic hands of the dial on a far away
tower.—Daily New, June 28, 1862. The above extract
from the article on the International Exhibition is
descriptive of the great turret clock which J. W. Benson
exhibits as a sample of his workmanship. By the aid'
of steam machinery, and every facility for their pro-
duction he Is able to manufacture not only the large
and elaborate quarter dock at 2,000 cranium, but also
the wimple but accurately performing timepiece for the
village church or school at 16 guineas. The same
machinery is also applied to the manufacture of all
kinds of house clocks, suitable for the hall, staircase,
warehouse, office, or counting house, which, by this
means, are produced at very much lower prices than
those nasally charged. Benson's illustrated catalogue
of elocips contains numerous patterns suitable for the
drawing and dining rooms, the Iffirtry, Ste., tux, and a
short and interesting amount of the rise and progress
of the art of clock making. It also includes a descrip-
tion of the various clocks and timepieces manufactured
by J. W. Benson, with a carefully prepared price list of
the same, and can be obtained gratis on application, or
will be sent poet-free by enclosing two stamps to the
