CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
A Proposed Issue OF Asstgnats.
WASHINGTON, March l.

WASHINGTON, March IL.
In the House, In the matter OF amnesty, 1t
was ordered that no bills hereafter be passed
unless the names are read. The trouble grows
out of the fact that the name of Gen. Vance, OF
North Carolina, Is on one of The House bills.
James N. Leach presented vance's name, and
Leach claims that he had violated no pledge
or understanding In Including his name on the
list, The Yerba Buena bill was recommitted
10 the Pacific Railroad committee. The post
Office appropriations were Sresumed. long
debate occurred over the subsidies to steam
ship lines, after which the House adjourned.
The Senate considered appropriations all
day. Johnston introduced a bill providing for
the payment for claims for rent arising In
States declared to be in rebellion, also to pro-
vide an adequate supply of circulating medi-
um for States needing It. It directs the secres
tary Of the treasury, on the application OF
Governors Of States, to supply them with
treasury notes to an amount which, in connec-
tion with the national bank notes already fur
nlshed, ehall make eight dollars for each inhab-
tant, provided real estate security is given for
the repayment of such sums In fifteen years.

THE USE OF SPECTAOLEs.
Interesting Lecture by Former
Chnrlestonfan.
From the Baltimore Sun.l

DR.. J. J. ChIsolm, professor of eye and ear
diseases In the University OF Maryland, lee
tured on spectacles before the Guild of the
Church OF the Ascension. He treated at
length of the eye, explaining that the lens oil
the eye was soft transparent jelly, closed in
and Kept in shape by a transparent elastic
membrane, which could, In the young, under
20 such change in form as would enable 1t TO
be accommodated for near or distant objects.
A small muscle In the eye was this accommo-
dating power, which did the work fthe screw
In the opera glass, and focused the eye for
varied distances. With advancing age this
lens jelly became stiff, 80 that atler As years of
age the muscle could not make the lens of the
eye sufficiently convex to concentrate upon
small objects, and hence the print had to be
carried futher off until from their small size
they could not be clearly 'e out. specta-
cles would then be required - make amends
for this deficiency within the eye, and that
when the spectacles were carefully selected by
q competent oculist 20 as just to make up
what the refacling media of the eye required,
they would restore to the eyes all their former
acuteness of vision. As soon as from age or
some natural defect In the refraction of the
eye vision became impaired, then 1t was ln-
furious to try to use them ior any length of
time without the aid OF spectacles. The use of
glS1ses was the very best means of preserving
the eyes and keeping away disease. Specta.
cles, said the professor, was an article of
necessity in which we must all sooner or later
invest, and that we do great injustice to our
selves If we force our eyes to do without
glasses when their confguration or inherent
changes require such aid to perfect them as
optical instruments. Interesting remarks
were made on the oval and the fat eye as de-
tects from the typical round eye, which is the
form of the perfect organi the oval or long eye
causing nearsightedness, whilst the fiat eye
rendered 1t Impossible to see small near OBJ
jects, and was therefore called the oversighted
eye. He explained how proper glasses would
remedy both of these defects, whilst glasses
carelessly selected, or worn not from any tt-
ness, but simply because they were inherited
from some beloved parent or friend, would as
surely establish in The eyes diseases which
may be fatal to vision.
