A Remarkable Innovation.

Judge Miller, of Senaca county, New
York, some days since introduced in
the Assembly of that State two bills
looking. toward am important change in
the common law and statutes of New
York, in reference to adopted and ille-
gitimate children. The first and per
haps most important is entitled "An Act
for the better Protection of Illegitimate
Childfen and to Restrain and Punish
The second section
enables any iilegitimate child whose
putative or alleged father is living, and
competent to give evidence in his own
behalf, ina civil action in the Supreme
Court against SUCH father for relief, the
action to proceed in all respects like any
other civil action for relief; and the re-
lief which the child may claim is, first,
to establish his paternity second, to as
sumo the family name of his, father;
third, to have a proper allowance made
him for his support and education /; and
fourth. to- be secured aportion of his
fathers estate In ne ease exceeding one
half what a legitimate child would be
entitled to. The Judge claims these
provisions to besimply justtoan inocent7
and helpless child I; beneficial to the pub
lie in restraining licentiousness and
preventing pauperism and crime and,
of course, in the nature of punishment
Of the more guilty parent. Children of
both sexes are also to receive the benefit
of the law, but no benefit is to accrue to
the mother; nor are the bastardy laws,
for the pecuniary protection of the pub
lie, interfered with. BY. section twoit
is provided that if the chil0-plsintiff
succeeds in action, the Court is author-
lied to inquire into the character and
surroundings of the. child, The, fortune
and legitimate family, If any, of the
father-defendant; and, in view of all
these, to make such allowances to the
child for its education as may be just to
all parties and the Court may also de-
cree to the child portion of the fathers
estate at the time of the fathers death.
Subsequent sections give the CenrtlfuIl
power to direct about the child's guar
dianship, etc., and throw about guards
around the proceedings against ofrand,
conspiracy, etc. This bill was reported
by the Judiciary Committee for the con-
sidepation of the House, the attact on
the common jay being little too strong
for the lawyers on that Committee to
make favorable report. i,H F-i7a-.1e.

ETRABIsMUs.-If one would take the
pains to notice, he would be surprised
at the number OF crossed-eyed persons
which he will meet in one day on the
streets Of Memphis. And IL seems
strange to US Why these persons will re-
main in that condition, and why parents
will suffer their children to grow up
with that deformity when they could
have their eyes made straight and natu-
raj in two minutes, without pain, and
with but little expense. The eye is The
most beautiful feature Of the face when
natural, but when crossed it is s great
deformity, and 4 noticed by every
body. We often meet young ladies who
would be beautiful were it not for this
great deformity. VIZ have an oculist
il this city fDr. Norris, 233 Main street)
who strsightens crossed eyes with perfect
success. Call and see him. No charge
for examination.

CemeterX.

These grounds have been greatly i'm
proved and identified within the last
three years, at heavy expense to the
company, and being now accessible by
street railroad, il would well repay the
eitiZsns generally to visit them.
An i'm pressiOn seem TO pre-
vail that the object Of the company is
speculation aud prefit. This is not cor
rect. This cemetery was established 81 q
public necessity, and not Tor speculation.
This is distinctly stated in the original
articles Of association, and placed Of re-
cord, and strictly adhered to-. Is would
be only necessary to converse with the
Superintendent ia charge (whO is In no
way interested) to have such mistaken
ideas dissipatsd. improvements have
been made, and are still making on
every hand, aud on q most liberal scale.
Ever since the establishments of the
cemetery only q dividend OF ten per
cent. per annum upon the stock has been
declared all receipts over that amount
have gone to improve, enlarge and beau
tify the grounds; aud even that divi-
dend has not been paid for years past,
owing to heavy expenses tor improve
ments. 1t is the pOrp0ssof the company
to lay aside 8 retired fuud, the interest Of
which will keep it up perpetually, long
after the preseat generation shall sleep
beneath the sol. This Is a feature Of our
cemetery differing from all others known
to US, aud will be appreciated By lot
owners. The ElmwOed Cemetery must,
therefore, ever remain a 8 green spot in
memOry's waste
