INTERESTING SURGICAL OPERATION. We

who about nine years ago lost an eye by ter

the eye, dissected a piece from Immediately be-
low the temple up TO the angle of the eve, and
laid ii over into the incIsion, where il was made
fast, and healed, forming a new lid, which now
supports a beautiful artificial eye. The artii-
ciai eye is Of perfectly natural appearance, and
works corrcspondingly with the other; and, in
the course of tune, there will likely remain no
trace Of the operation. Thus has art Supplied

the highest praise for the great talent displayed
in this instance; and we Heartily express the

tor some time, with great palience.-
He did not wish TO hurt the young
mans feelings; but he could not, con-
scientiousIy, Iaud his sermon. Al

THE MA,IMOT CAVE.

The Editor of the LouisvIIl Jour
nal, lalely visited this wonder OF the
world. and thus speaks Of ii:
"We passed sixteen hours wllhl9
the cave. during which we travelled
eighteen miles, but at present We
cannot attempt a description cfIt.-
We intend shortly to spend two or
three weeks there, and then we shall
probably endeavor TO record asketch
of what we see and feel. No Ian
cuage, however. can ever give even
a faint idea OF the visitors impress
sions. For years, we have been
reading descriptions Of the cave CIV
en- by different travellers. many ct
them eloquent and powerful, and We
fancied that we had something Ike a
correct conception Of the great won
der, but we felt, on seeing 1t for
ourselves, how poor and vain were
all efforts and description and how
infinitely all preconceIved ideas must
fall below the vast and tremendous
reality. At every step OF our prog
ress for miles through the mighty
cavern, the beautiful, the wild, the
majestic, the gloomy, the mysterious,
and the terrific, burst upon us on
either hand and above our heads and
beneath our feet, exciting impressions
that canneverb be told or forgotten.-
How strange that there are multi
tudes in the West, ay, ever IN Ken
lucky, that seem content to pass
their lives without beholdlng this,
the grandest and most ~stupendous OF
the works Of God. Such a feeling Is
indeed a sin against nature and m5rat-
itude to the Almighty.
We cannot here omit to mention,
that Ole Bull took his violin into the
cave and gave US some OF his noh.est
performances al the points most re-
markable for their wonderful echoes.
The music was like no earthly music.
1t seemed, indeed, suPerhuman.-
The whole company were IS mute
and motionlessas statues, and tears.
