THE INDIAN BILL

This Is the last great question before the present
Session OF Congress. We trust the bill will pass-and
surely never has there been more systematic effort
made to deceive the people, than upon this subject
Inc public faith has been unnecessarily invoked The
public humanity has been artfuily appealed toIt has
been cunnngly said, and repeated through thousand
tongues. and all the Coalition Presses, that force I. to
be employed against the hspless Indians that they

much territory as belongs the u s West of the Mis-
sissipp, not included in any state, divided into
suitable number Of Districts for the reception Of such

lands where they now reside, and remove there SC.
The whole bill corresponds in spirit with this provision

ARTIFICIAL EYES.

The mind is ever active, endcavoring
to make improvements on articles, or to
create something, which was never be-
fore produced. Thus we find that from
this principle, substitute has been found
which comes very near state Of perfect
ion, as it regards the appearance of the
individual who may have been deprived
ofso great blessing. The following de-
scription of DR.. Scudder's Artificial Eye,
is taken from the Boston Medical & Sur
gical Journal.
The artificial shell which is made to
initiate the natural eye, is fixed by DR.. S.
directly to the ball and consequently par
takes Of its movements, and allows the
lids to close over 1t. As to the contract
ion and dilation ofthc pupil, few could cx
pect any great power or extent Of motion
in the internal parts of solid lens OF

the pupil, thou perfectly stationary, does
appear to alter its diameter with every mo

which this effect IL produced il as follows:
the pupil is Represented BY q black sub
stance at the posteyior part Of henlis-
phcre oftransparent glass, which occupies
the place of the aqueous humor in the real
organ. Around this substance the iris is
represented, not painted, but colored ap
paren,ly in the glass itself. Thus viewing
the black substance or pupil through q
very convex lens, its size will vary accord
ing to the direction in which we look up
on it, five see it sideways, its size is
greater than when the eye is"cast upon it
directly I; and hence the apparent change
in its size with every movement ofthe Or

Ere long it is expected persons will be
talking with artificial tongues, which
would be very desirable appendagc, If
by such a machine a greater degree OF
truth could be milled than at present is

SPRING

And brighter food of sunbeams chas-
ing away the lingering corps OF wintcs, a.
gain gladdens our heurts-again smiles
dimple on the cheek Of the poor wretch,
whose shiyering limbs have been the sport
of pinching cold-whosc unsocial chimney
corner, blightcd by the touch of poverty
has blazed with no cheering flame. Now
the great fount oflight and heat, as if pity
ing the multitudes, who are unable to il
illuminate their dwellings with the spoils of
the far Pacific, and warm their cottage
hearth with the inAamable product Of far
famed Lehcigh, mounts higher in the cope
ofheavch, and darts director rays, with e.
qual care on rich and poor.
But this is rather an early date, to
chant forth the praises of Spring, with
much poetic enthusiasm-sincc, almost
all the vernal tokens we have is melting
snow-drifts and bleaching March winds.
However, this proves an increase Of
warmth on the surface of our mundane
sphere, and soon we may promise ourrop-
tics the luxdry ofan humble violet. Now,
by way of episode, allow US to say, that
little humble violcts, which pop 50 artless
ly from Beneath cold snow-bank, are
the thing, after all, and easily bear the
palm from blossoms of prouder name,
that rear their efeminatc stems in warm
parlour corners. In other words, merito-
rious humility is better than inflated vani-
ty and to prove that my figure is a just
one, let the reader stoop his proboscis In
to the proud hot house fower-then take
a snuff at our little vernal heroine and he
will soon ascertain which smells best-il
he don't I think he must be under the in
fluence of a very bad cold, with inhamed
olfactories. But to 60 back Spring at
its first coming on, is like q. coy maiden,
sometimes advancing and then a quick re
treat-now little sun.-anon dash OF
rain-smiles and-tears all go to make
the variety Of early Spring. But these
quick changing moods fill useful part
they lure the tender plant from the carths
bosom and encourage the springing grass
to shoot forth into the light ofday. And
prove the wisdom ofthe great Creator, as
forcibly ss the mellow sun shine which
ripens the treasures of autumn.
