Action OF LIGHT on TIE RETINA or THE
EYE.-The newborn child seeks the day by
instinct. and turns to the side whence light
comes, and if this spontaneous movement OF
the infants eyes is thwarted strabismus may
be the consequence.
OF all our organs the eye is the one that
light especially affects. Through the eye
come all direct notions of the outer world,
and all impressions Of an aesthetic kind.
Now, the cXcitabiity Of the retina shows va
riations of every kind. Prisoners confined
I'm dark cells have been known to acquire
the power Of seeing distinctly in them,
while their eyes also become sensitive
to the slightest changes in the inten-
sity of light In 1866 LayoSler, in
studying certain questions upon tie
lighting Of Paris, which had heen given
for competition by the Academy of Sciences,
found after several attempts that his sight
wanted the necessary senSitlreneSS for Oh
serving the relative inlensities of the differ
ent flames he wished to compare. lie had
room hun!; with black, and shut himself
up in it for six weeks il utter darkness. At
the end of that time his sensitlveneSs OF
sight was such that he could distinguish the
faintest differences. 1t is very dangerous.

stroke results from the action Of light, and
not, as is often supposed, from excesslve!ly
high temperature. Ii sometimes occurs IN
the moderately warm season of spring; or a

the electric light, may occasion it. The yio-

From that day to this re have heard OF

New Ministry TO be Formed In Spain.

PARIS, May 24.-It is understood that
the party of the Left in the Assembly will,
after the close of the impending trial of
Marshal Bazaine, demand the impeach-
ment of the members of the last Ministry
under the Empire.
The journals of to-day generally agree
in the expression of their opinion that the
debates of the Assembly on Tuesday and
Wednesday, inflicted crushing blow
to the hopes of the friends of the En-
pire.
The Journal dcS Debates says the result
of the discussion is parliamentary for Sc
dan.
LONDON, May 24.-The interest in the
action of the United States Senate upon
the proposed additional article to the
Treaty of Washington is undiminished
The leading editorial articles of all the
London morning jOOrnals to-day are de-
voted to the subject, and joy is expressed
over the probability that the proposition
submitted by Earl Granville will be favor
ably received.
A dispatch from Hastings announces that
the force of government WOrkmen which
was sent from the Admiralty office te the
relief of the steamship Baltimore has ar
rived there. They are in hopes of saving
the vessel.
MADRID, May 24.-There are no chang es
in the ministerial situation. The mem
bers of the present Cabinet insist upon their
designations.
SenOr Zeabala, who was called upon by
King Amadeus to form the new ministry,
has declined to do so, owing to i'll health.
His Majesty has now requested Marshal
Serrano to undertake the task.

A Maniac Secured.

a correspondent of the RogersviIle Re
porter, writing from Rutledge, states that
hat on Monday last crazy negro named
King Dotson, while working in field be-
longing to Mr.. Wood, suddenly quit
work and came toward that gentleman's s
house, and stopping at a fence, drew his
knife softly across his own throat. Mr..
Wood became alarmed for his safety, and
hastened to inform Kings brother of the
state of the case. While he was gone, a
cOlored man passed up the street, and be-
ing slightly acquainted with King, stop
ped with him moment, The usual salu-
tttions passed between them, and King, in
the friendliest manner conceivable, reach
ed out his hand, but no sooner did he get
hold of the others hand than he drew him
unexpectedly down on the fence, and
with quick, nervous stroke, cut his
throat from ear to ear, Then, as if fear
ful of retaliation, or feeling assured that his
work was complete, he dropped his hand
and ran off short distance, but soon re-
turned to his former position.
After considerable trouble, the maniac
was secured, though not until he had
wounded his brother slightly i'll the breast,
and lodged i'll the Rutledge Jail. The
wounded man had his injuries attended to,
which are very severe, but not considered
mortal.
