DIFFERENT KINDS OF EYES.

No branch ofscieuce has been more thorough
ly mastered than optics. The principle OF
vision must be essentially the same in all eyes.
but they differ remarkably, eccordlng to the
habits OF the animal. Birds of lofty flight, as
the condor. eagles, yulturcs and carrion seek
ing prowlers OF the feathered race, have tele-
scoplc vision, and thus they are enabled to
look down and discover their unsuspectlng
victims. As they approach noiselessly from
above, the axis Of vision changes-shurtenlng,
so that they see just as distinctly within one
foot of the ground as When ab an elevation ol
one mile in the air.
This fact explains the balancing OF fish
hawk on its pinlons half mile above still
pond, watching for fish. When one ls selected
down the savage hunter plunges, the focal axis
VARYING as the square or the distance. giving
the hawk distinct view Of it's intended prey

gated by a curious muscular arrangementsoas as
to see afar again. ~ -.u,,;+u
Of flexible horns. which they can protrude or
draw in at pleasure BY winding the lnstru-
mani round the edge Uf a leaf Cr small stalk,
thew can ace how matters stand on the OPP
nosite aide. The hammer-headed shark has
its wicked looking eyes nearly two feet apart.
By will and effort they can bend the thin edg-
i1ips of the head on which the organs are loca-
ted 80 as TO examine the two sides OF an object
the size Of tu!l crown Goldfish.
Flies have immovable eyes. They stand out
from the head like half an apple, e1cee dlngl
prominent. Instead of being smooth heml.
spheres, they have an immense number OF
facets, resembling old-fashio. ed glass watch
seals, each one directing the light directly TO
the optic retina. That explains why they can.
not be approached in any direction Wltnou1
seeing what is comiug.

IFRoN DUB OWN Correspondent
W1sNsnoRo', January q.
Since my last but little of Interest has trans
plred in this section Of the State, and tax
paying has been the most fruitful source Of
conversation. Farmers, OF all classes Of men.
seem to be the most improvident, never
having the funds on band to meet any emer-
gency, and, IN cases OF this kind, borrowing is
their only resource. 1t is, indeed, fortunate
for US that the time at which the penalty
should attach hIs been postponed, for, until
the 10Th instant, hundreds were daily striving
Ia vain to reach the desk OF the auditor and
treasurer. The unjust imposition upon this
support of the widows and orphans of the Ku.
Klnx victims, has excited great indignation.
There was not single Instance of o.
death known 10 have been caused by that
mysterious body of avengers Of these Insults
and Injuries heaped upon our down-trodden
State. Speaking OF the Ku-Klux, however,
there seems to be much greater dread In the
rule of the white man than Of even the sum-
mons of that much talked Of order, a. Ia
evinced by the eNigrauon of hundreds from
the counties In winch the Democrats have re-
Gently gained the ascendancy. Upon every

That terrible disease, meningitis, has not
confined itself to the localities In which 1t

SPIRITS ON TIE RAIL.
The rrada Stree. ano.. Turn, Up Again

The Tradd Street Ghost Turns Up Again.
The Savannah News has procured thrill
ling statement of spiritual manifestations on
the rail from Mr.. e. 8. Remington, one Of the
messengers Of the Southern Express COM
pany. The News adds that the car In question
has been In use for two years, and has brought
up a large number OF corpses of invalids who
died In Florida. Mr.. Remington says:
left Savannah as usual, at A30 P. H.; and
nothing extraordinary occurred until after
passing Live OAK, Fla. At this place met
of freight and money. Then locked my safe
and put the key In my pocket. At Welborn
felt TOR my key, as it was necessary tor me TO
open the sale, and could not find 1t. searched
everywhere and emptied my pockets OF every
thing and put them In the desk, but the key
could not be found. then took of coat and
vest and shook them, but with no better sue.
cess. gave up the search. concluding that
the KEY was lost, and that I would have to
force The safe open. Six miles below Lake
City, while sitting at my stove, the train run
ming at It's regular speed. saw the key fall In
front OF me, striking near my feet. Thefe
was no possibility Of any one throwing the
KEY into the car, as the train was In rapid
motion.
The next night, on the return trip frem
Jacksonville, between Station 10 and l0}, on the
Atlanlic and Gulf Railroad, was lying down
on my packing chest and safe, when directly
at my head there were three loud, distinct
raps. TIE train was running at the rate of
twenty miles an hour, and there was no possl-
billty of any one being secreted 10 the car.
From time TO time TOR some weeks past the
whole freight has been apparently, to judge
from the sound. thrown about the car, but on
examination everything was found iu stalu
quo. Wnistllng has been heard when the
noise Of the train would have drowned the
human voice. give the statement OF these
incidents as they occurred, and am willing to
make affidavit to Its t.uthfulness.
