Again; BY the bill referred to, the district com.
posed OF the counties of Buckingham, Appomattox
and Prince Edward will be deprived altogether Of
representation in the Senate from tho close OF this
session OF the General Assembly until tho election
20 DC hsld on the Tuesday succeeding the first Mon.
day In November, 1873.
And again; The counties of Chesterfield and
Amflia each have Senator that holds over under
the constitution Yet both are nut into ono district
that is to be entitled to only one Senatcr
The undersigned feels 1t to be his duty TO enter his
protest against the manner in which this bill comes
before the Senate. 1t is reported from majority of
the committee without having received that con
sideration which its great importance demands 1t
was presented to the Committee ON Privileges and
Elections for the first time in printed form by tho
Chairman at q meeting of the committee held last
Thursday morning. After few light verbal amend.
ments, and without the bill even having been read
IN committee a motion was submitted and carried
that the bill be reported
The undersigned asked for further time to carefully
examine the BILL so that if he did not agree with the
report about to be made, he might prepare minor.
ny report SO as to have it go before the Senate at
tue same time with the majority report but it was
refused He was told he could present a minority
report afterwards
On the submission of the majority report to the
senate attempts were made to push the bill through
ON the day of and the day succeeding its presenta-
ton without giving Senators time for careful ex-
animation OF the bill. 1t looks very much like an
attempt to smuggie the monstrous thing throuo This
body without giving its members time to investigate
IT'S ubiquitous details. And certainly giving no time
Tor this very imperfect analysis OF the bill which the
Undersigned felt constrained to give part of his
minority report. : -.
For the reasons given, the undersigned earnestly
recommends that tho Senate do not pass the appor-
tionment bill reported by the majority Of the COM
mittee on Privileges and Elections -
lie would recommend the adoption of the appor-
tonmeDt as given in the present Constitution OF This
Commonwealth. 7'i1- = :,
This may not in all particulars be as Just an appor.
Torment as might be made under the new enumeras
ton but 1t is as good any that is likely to be
prepared at this late day in session. The peopIe
ships will be felt. 1t is infinitely more lust and
equitable than that proposed by majority of The
In conclusion, the undersigned would report the
accompanying BILL 49,
Very respectfully, R. GREENE.

CASE OF CLAIRvoYANoE.-A young
lady by the name of Taylor, who has been
acting in the capacity of hired servant
for some time at the residence of Mr..
Boyle, at Kelly's station, about two miles
west of here, has been in what may be
termed state Of clairvoyance since last
Thursday. For day or two previous
she had been somewhat afflicted with the
toothache, and on Thursday morning the
mistress of the house concluded she would
let her remain in bed in order, if it were
possible to get sufficient amount of rest.
Some time during the day little girl
belonging to the house was sent up stairs
to awaken her, but did not succeed in
doing so. The mistress then tried to
arouse her by a severe shaking, but her
efforts were in vain. This is the identical
young lady who, last fall, was in the same
condition. She does not partal1e of any
food whatever. Once or twice she was
given little water, but it was thrown up
Immediately.
She lies with her arms folded across her
breast, and but seldom speaks when
spoken to. On being Intercepted in re-
gard to the other world, she said that she
saw the "place of endless torment, that
the doors were open, and the inmates were
crying for water" How long she may
continue in this condition remains to be
seen Putsburg tPa) Leader.

CUBA-AN INTERNAL PLoT.-A citizen
of Baltimore furnishes the Eoening Bule-
tin, Of that city, with the following start
ling plot to free Cuba from the clutches of
Spain:
There are now being clandestinely fitted
out in this city an expedition to operate in
behalf of the island of Cuba. The leader
of this expedition is Colonel John w.
Young, who served with distinction in the
Federal army during our late war, and has
recently been connected with the Red river
difficulties. Colonel Young has some infer
nal machine with which he purposes sink
ing the whole Spanish navy and then land
force sufficiently strong to sweep over the
entire island. If Colonel Young succeeds
in fitting out his expedition we may expect
startling news ere many days. If all goes
well with the various movements now
being made it is confidently expected that
an insurgent army of at least ten thousand
men, thoroughly differed and equipped,
will be in the field by May goth next.

ARREST OF A SOUTHERN DEFAULTER.
John W. Mclean alias Mclaughlin, was
arrested in New York on Friday last. on
the charge of defaulting the postoffice of
Atlanta, Georgia, of So 900. When taken
to police headquarters the prisoner denied
that he was the man, and said he was the
proprietor of billiard saloon at Elm and
Broome street. A photograph, however,
OF Mclean was produced which settled the
question of identity, aud the prisoner made
full confession. lie said that his real
name was E. A. Mclaughlin, and that he
had been chief clerk of the money order
department, and acting assistant postmas-
ter of the Atlanta postoflice. lie also adj
mitted taking the money, part of which
he expended in opening a billiard saloon
in Broome street. Mclaughlin was sent
to Atlanta in charge of one of Colonel
Whitley's officers, and before leaving gave
Colonel Whitley a power of attorney to
dispose OF the saloon for the benefit of the
United States.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE HUMAN Eye

SOMETHING ABOUT THE HUMAN Eye
The Philadelphia Press has an interesting
article in regard to the eye. Nothing, it
says, in the. delicate complication of the
human fabric is more delicate or exquisitely
sensitive than the eye. Mythology makes
the greatest of the Grecian bards blind I;
Milton bewailed this great and terrible
affection and the historian Prescott was
the victem ofthe Same calamity. Perhaps the
more exquisite the organ the more keen the
pain of the loss At any rate, in these and in
all similar cases, the dread misfortune can
only be measured by experience. Certain
it is, the eyesisht ruined or impaired is
none the less a calamity becauseso common,
And as before said, if we cannot see, the
blame is usually with US. There are pro-
badly two causes that do more to impair
the eye than all others Many and perhaps
most people indulge in daily reading, or
some similar trying eye-work, from sunset
till near dark. Nothing is so fatal to this
organ. The most learned and skilful Opt
clans discover that the nature of the light
at this period is most ruinous. But how
common the custom. 1t may be carried
on weeks aud months with comparative
impuniiy, but sooner or later the penalty
must come. Probably the first premoni-
ton will be slight pain in the eye, grad
ually increasing, but which ceases with
the exercise. But this soon becomes a
weakness, aud the weakness becomes
chronic. No one should allow the eve to
be exercised at this hour in any work or
pursuit requiring close vision, such as
print, manuscript, the needle, sc.
Another chief cause of impaired eyesight
is the habit we have in America of reading |
on the road, either the highway or the |
rail. We save our time, but lose our eyes.
The instance of the baggage-master who
lost his sight by daily reading upon his
route for years is only too common, in
relative degree. The constant motion of
the body, though very slight, makes the
effort of the eye to follow the line very
severe and weakening. And yet there is
hardly business man in the city who
takes car of any kind or carriage with
out running over an entire newspaper or
in the worst of type. No wonder
then that the eye disease in tais country is
80 widespread. !
In many cases, indeed, the eye is weak
~ nature or by accident, but it is not
'ftsn thus. Among the many valuable
precautions for the preservation of the
ye, none are more important than the
ustom of using real eye-shade over the
ryan in all night work, and that other /
ne of bathing it in water not too cold | /
efore retiring and on rising. And at all !
ines, when nature demonstrates and calls i
or rest, by a pain and weakness in these 0
rgans, all efforts should cease, aud thus :
lifelong sorrow be averted.
