A New York toy dealer states that when
panics are distracting Wall street his trade is
most active. Few expensive playthings are
sold, but business men as they pass up Broad
way to their homes, detected and in the shad-
ow Of ruin, stop at store and buy cheap toys
ofsome kind that will bring cheering smiles to
their children's faces.

Some Varieties Of Eyes.

Birds of lofty flight, as the condor, eagles,
vultures and carrion-seeking prowlers Of the
feathered race, have telescope vision, and
thus they are enabled to look down and dis
cover their unsuspectiDg victims. As they
approach noiselessly from above, the axis Of
vision changes-shortening, so that they see
just as distinctly within one foot of the ground
as when at an elevation of one mile in the
air. This fact explains the balancing Of
fish hawk on its pinions half mile above q
still pond, watching for fish. When one Is
selected, down the savage hunter plunges,
the focal axis, varying as the square of the
distance, giving the hawk a distinct view Of
its intended prey always. As they ascend,
then the axis is elongated by curious mus
cular arrangement so as to see far again.
Snails have their keen eyes at the extremity
of flexible horns, which they can protrude or
draw in at pleasure. By winding the instru-
ment round the edge of a leaf or small stalk
| they can see how matters stand on the op-
posite side. The hammer-headed shark has
] its wicked-looking eyes nearly two feet apart.
| 1t can bend the thin edgings of the head on
| which the organs are located so as to examine
the two sides of an object the size Of q fully
grown Goldfish. Flies have immovable eyes.
They stand out from the head like half an
apple, exceedingly prominent. Instead Of
being smooth hemispheres they have an i'm
mense number of facets, resembling old fash
ioned glass watch seals, each one directing
the light directly to the optic retina. That
explains why they cannot be approached in
any direction without seeing what is coming.

almost exclusively among the native nonnI.-
ton. / have heard of but one case on tbeso
islands where white person was attacked hv
it. A brief description viii suffice to SHOW
the terrible nature of the destructive plague
The patient is attacked with irregular, iyid
red spots in the face, and at late period the
ears and nose are similarly attacked. In
many instances the whole body is more or
less covered with them, or with somewhat
scaly eruption. Slight itching is sometimes
felt, but not always. These spots are slightly
elevated, shining, and after time become
darker; then small hard or soft tubercles ap-
pear, mostly on the face, of the same color,
which become after while continent and
form irregular tubercles of the size of a pea
to hens egg; the face now becomes much
dsfigured and, the skin rough, full of wri.-
kles and fissures, similar to the skin of an Sle
phant; the nose and ears are much increased
IN size, the nostrils are enlarged, the eyes
become inf1amed-the lids nearly coering
the eye-the lips are enormously swollen,
and the whole face has most horriSappear-
ance. The nails of the feet and lands be-
come affected, the former being raised by
matter deposited under them. Jne feet and
forearms swell, and ulcers form she skin be-
comes gangrenous, leaving the muscles bare:
The joints are thus attacked md destroyed
in succession by the slow process of this ter
rible disease, which renders those who are
affected with it objects of lorror until the
grave conceals them.
From the most reliable iata can obtain,
the disease was brought lere from China in
1S48, and 1t wos not until 1858 that the at
tention of medical mel was called to it.
Notwithstanding the strict surveillance main
tanned by the government, it has increased,
propagatcd by internarriage and through
hereditary transmission"

The Circus.

Ionce heard bright child declare that If
ciEuses were prohibited in Heaven, she did
not wish to go there. She had been bap-
ized, was under Christian influences, and
previous to this heterodoxy, had never given
her good parents moments anxiety. Her
naive utterance touched a responsive chord
within my own breast, for well did 1 remem-
Der how gloriously the circus shone by the
light of other days; how the ring-master, in
wrinkled dress coat, seemed the most envia-
BILE OF mortals, being ON speaking terms with
all the celestial creatures who jumped over
flags and through balloons; how the clown
was the dearest, funniest of men; how the
athletes in tights and spanges were my beau
ideals of masculility; and how La Belle Rose,
with one foot upon her native heath, other
wise well padded saddle, and the other
pointed in the direction of the sweet little
cherubs that sat up aloft, was the most
fascinating of her sex. am persuaded that
circuses fill an aching void in the universe.
What children did before their invention I
shudder to think, for eircuses are to child
hood what butter is to bread and what the
world did before the birth of Barnum is an al
most equally frightful problem. Some are
born to shows, Others attain shows, and yet
again others have shows thrust upon them.
Barnum is born Snowman. If ever a man
fulfilled his destiny it is the discovere rof Tom
Thumb. With the majority Of men and
women life is failure. Not until one leg
bangles in the grave is their raison d stre dis
closed. The round people always find them
selves sticking in the square holes, and vice
versa; but with Barnum We need not deplore
a rie mdnQuee. We can smile at his reverses,
for even the phoenix has cause to blush in his
presence. Though pursued by tongues OF
fire, BaInum remains inyincible when iron,
stone and mortar crumble around him, and
while yet the smoke is telling volumes Of de-
struction, the CHEEKY voice of the Snowman
exclaims: ''Here you are, gentlemen; ad-
