children anected with myopia or other weak
ness of the eye, or to give practical sugees-
tions founded upon observations OF the me
thods or places OF study.
At a recent meeting OF the Maine Medical
Association, paper was read by DIR. James
A. Spaulding, giving an account OF an exam
ination OF the scholars OF the grammar and
primary schools at Portland, with some prac-
iical recommendations resulting therefrom.
In the grammar schools about twenty per
cent OF the pupils were found TO have defec-
tive eyesight. and i'm the primary schools
eight and a half per cent, the greater proper
ton being affected with shortness OF sight.
The largest proportion was found in school
rooms which were badly arranged for light,
either nom insufficient windows or with the
light coming with a strong glare in front, or
falling directly upon the back, SO as TO cause
shadow ON the desk.
The suggestions include first, OF course, the
proper lighting of the school rooms. Teach
ers should place children known 10 have de-
fective sight at desks most advantageous for
them; there should be a rest every half hour,
If only for a minute. from reading, and more
particularly from writing and drawing, the
pursuit of which for a steady hour, is weari-
some enough To a practiced one, and much
more so To young beginners, who strain at
each point i'm a line, 10 make IL as near like
the copy as possible. Fine handwriting
should be discountenanced, and fine print in
books prohibited.
The schools. however, are far from being
entirely to blame for this youthful short
sightedness, and the real place 10 teach child
rem not 10 abuse their eyes il at home. There
are some plain and simple rules that should
be taught TO all. The light should always
come nom the side or over the shoulder: the
book should be held up and never I'm the lap;
there should always be a shade on a lamp
standing on a level with the eyes. especially
IL IL II necessary 10 face the light as I'm writ
ing; ana all reading by twilight or with sun
light pouring over the book is very harmful
TO the eyes. One great injury is pronounced
TO be the use of too strong glasses by weak
sighted persons, for they require too much
eXeIfion for the eye; glasses should be the
weakest possible compatible with distinct
sight.
This report and suggestions have come
none too soon TO excite attention, for 10
seemed as though with the advance of edu-
cation. We were about 10 become a short

A NEW YORK OPINION ABOUT OUR
DISTRICT GOVERNMENT The Committee
on the District of Columbia yesterday de-
cided that the government OF the District
should be administered by three commits
sioners, as now. The mode of selection.
whether by appointment or election, is yet TO
be decided. SO far this is a sensible conclu-
sion. If they will now decide 10 make their
selection by appointment, il will be still
more sensible. The elective franchise is
wholly unnecessary TO the people Of the Dis
trict. and is, besiQes an expensive luxury.
The money spent in conducting elections
there would be much better used i'm keeping
in fine condition the magnificent improve
ments made in that city i'm the past five
Yeas. Moreover, there should be no diyi-
sion of responsibility as between the people
and the general government. Congress has
laid its hands on the whole thing, and should
keep il there. Having done this, it must OF
necessity provide the revenues of the District
by an equitable system of appropriations
and taxation, and then see that they are
faithfully expended. There has been a pru-
dent, honest, quiet government there by
commission for the last two years, and il
can't be much improved.A Kingston " "

RICHMOND AS A COTTON MARKET.-H is
a matter of surprise that among our enter
prising merchants there has been no progress
in making Richmond depot for the storage
and the sale OF cotton; and yet the quantity of
cotton passing through Richmond and wag-
oned from the Richmond and Danville rail-
road and the Richmond and Petersburg rail-
road, and 10 the steamers in James river, TO
be transported 10 the north, il. to those who
are aware of il, matter of establishment II is
certainly sufficient TO justify trade in this
article Not only are our commission mer-
chants interested, but especially our whole
sale grocers and dry goods merchants; and, in
short, every merchant i'm the city. as il il a
well known law OF trade that the planter buys
his supplies I'm the city where he makes his
sales of cotton. With little eXertion the
amount of cotton stored and sold i'm Rich
mond would equal i'm value that OF the whole
tobacco crop received in Richmond. The an
nual report of the James River and Kanawha
Company shows that over 5000 bales of cotton
were shipped from the dock to northern
points. A very much larger quantity is
shipped by the New York steamers. To this
is to be added the quantity brought by the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. Surely il is
time to take advantage of this favorable con-
dition of affairs and To establish a cotton
