A Remarkable Vision.

San Francisco has another human
phenomenon inthe shape of boy about
nine years of age who has been discov-
cred to have remarkable powers of
vision. Up to very recent date the
boys parents have supposed him to be
blind, as he was utterly unable to dis
tinguish any thing near at hand but in
December last, while lying in bed with
his eyes turned toward the moon, he sud-
denly began to describe the appearance
of that planet and of objects on it which
he said he could see distinctly. The
surface of the moon he described as all
hill and hollow and the inhabitants as
being shaped like chariot wheels with
four spokes converging in a hub. The
scientific men who examined the boys
eyes and heard his statements have de-
cided, according to the San Francisco
call, that it is a clear case of extraordi-
narily developed long-sightedness which
no glasses yet invented can remedy. To
test the matter thoroughly they turned
the boys eyes toward the planet Venus,
but he could distinguish nothing, and
the scientists have concluded that his
eyes focus at about the distance of the
moon, or 100000 miles. The scientific
name they give to the imperfection is
.'presbyopia; but the public generally
will be far more likely to look upon it
as pronounced case of Jimmy Blanch-
ardism.

Chinese Funerals.

On the death of parent it is Gus
tomary in China, at any rate with per-
sons above certain rank IN the social
scale, to forward to all friends and ac-
quaintances, however slight, a formal
notification of the fact, written in mourn
ing ink and on mourning paper of por-
tentious dimensions. On the present
occasion this document Tin which, be it
observed, the family name of the par
ties, Shen, is omitted) ran as follows:
6 Be it known that the unfilial Pao-chen,
who, on account of his manifold and
grievous crimes, was worthy of sudden
death, has not died, and that, instead,
the calamity has fallen upon his worthy
father, upon whom the reigning supe-
rior of the TEACHING Git. great, pure)
dynasty has conferred the first order of
rank in the civil service, and that in the
imperial body-guard, and the governor
ship of the province of Kiangse. In the
twelfth year of the reign, styled Tao
Kuang, at the competition of the literati,
he gained the rank of Chi jeu Chat is,
NJ. Az. The writer's father, Tan
lin, fell sick on the ninth day of
this moon, and fingered in great
pain until the twelfth, when he passed
away. He was born about two or three
in morning of the ninth moon, of the
fifty-second year of the reign styled
Chien-Lung, and was therefore some
what over eighty-four years old. I'M
mediately he expired the family went
into mourning, and now, alas! have
