A Washington correspondent of the indie.
pendent describes a supper scene at the cap
ital: At twelve O'Clock the doors of the sup
per room are opened, and then the jam
beggars description. You may take your
choice to be pushed or push, and in either
case to see plates of oysters, salads, and
creams, with threatening spoons and forks,
bristling through midair, glancing by your
nose, or swimming down your back. I was
never sure that we were not a civilized peo-
pie till 1 contemplated my compatriots in
the Washington supper-room of a ~"testive
OCCASION" There 1 rave seen dignitaries
whom the public believe have enough to eat
at home, pushing toward a supper-table as a
cannibal might to his least; and ladies re-
nowned as "delicate," with piled up plates
of pickles, salads, fruits. and creams, cram
ming at a rate that would make a perfectly
healthy woman sick abed for a week.

A Paris physician relates the particulars

Il PHyo
of a curious case he has under his charge. 1t
is that of a young girl, eighteen years of age,
who is afflicted with what is termed nycha-
topia, that is to say. she loses the faculty OF
sight in daylight, n RECEIVERS it in dark
ness. Although her eyes do not present
any special morbid character. she is forced
to keep her eyelids closed during the day,
and to cover her head with a thick veil. Or
the other hand, when the shutters of a room
are Theoretically fastened, she reads an6
writes perfectly in the deepest darkness. Sht
feels no pain beyond a slight lassitsde wher
the solar light strikes her visual organs.
