An O>s;iied Eye.

A CURIOUS case of an ossiiicd human
eye was made known few DAYS ago in
this city, the operating physician being
DIR. w. X. Amick, the well known ocu-
list. The patient was Mr.. W. H. New,
residing ut 4S2 Freeman Street, one of
whose eyes was injured twenty seven
years ago By piece of gun cap. The
missile entered the eye-ball and pro-
duced Il partial deprivation OF sight,
which continued for i number of wears,
and gradually growing worse until the
sight was completely gone. This caused
a sympathetic arrangement of the other
eye, whose vision in consequence was
greitiy impaired. The pain from the
diseased eye during the last six months
was so intense it was decided TO remove
1t. The operation was performed by
DIR. Amick, and Il dissection of the eX-
tracted globe revealed 4 complete ossiti-
cation Of the chorod coat. On tapping
on the ossitied part with pencil
point, for instance, sound is
heard similar to that produced by
contact with slate or other hard
substance. This is rare co<e OF
the kind. there being bu, one or s7go
similar ones recorded in the surg -sl
annals OF this eountry.-Cn.cign..ts

Women Lawyers.

Nor every lady and gentleman who
has this season applauded Miss Terry.
Portia is aware that. about the date
when the Merchant OF V.nice" may
be supposed to have exhibited his
gabardinc on the Rialto. there actually
existed great female lawyers in the
neighboring city of Bologna. Prof.
C;lderini, who held the Chair Of .Iuris-
prudence in that University in 1860,
and Prof. Novella. who occupied it In
1866. were not only celebrated for their
legal lore and skill, but ii we may trust
their portraits. exceedingly beautiful
women. with noble Greek protilcs.
dressed in a style which Miss Terry
might have copied without disadvan-
tagc. If women hereafter should again
obtain entrance into the legal pro-
fession, ii is not at all improbable that
we may see something more OF the keen
ness OF feminine wits engaged in olsen
rangliDg the knots OF the law. Two
ladies in Ireland, according to the
Times Dublin correspondent. have lust
been conducting their own most intri-
cate cases in a manner which excited
the surprise OF the Master of the Rolls,
who even observed that ne was "aston-
ished that the ladies had been able to
put their case on paper so intellieently
and clearly without legal advice. II
other ladies should follow the example
OF the Misses Fogarty, what u falling
off must ensue in solicitors bills. They
lost their ease, it is true, bat secminglY
could not have won it under anv guid-
ance; and at all events they have e.
capped that great aggrayation o! the
misery Of defeat in q court OF law-the
lawyer costs.-RGN .Nai! Gazctte.

THE four great coffee countries of the
world are Brazil. Java, Sumatra and
Ceylon. Hitherto 2JO.0 tons have
been considered rs a good yearly figure
for Brazil, but last year the export alone
amounted 20 2l3. .0CJ tons But the con-
sumption OF coffee in the country itself
now amounts to 5000 tons, raising the
total yearly product of Brazil TO 3}3. 600
tons. Fortunately for the planters in
other parts OF the world, coffee has
crown into necessity in the United
states. and its price has risen. AL
though the soil OF Brazil, especially for
coffee culture, is very extensive, vet the
diiiicnlty OF obtaining labor daily be-
comes greater. and this renders it
doubtful whether the above figure can
be much exceeded. The crop in Java
and Snmatra was estimated ut 1000
tons for export; the consumption OF the
Inhabitants, although the population is
double that Of Brazil, is not half of that
Of the latter country. The production
IN Ceyion, though greater than that of
ISIS, shows falling off when compared
with former years: there We're in all
200 tons exported from the island,
the native consumption being very
small.
