WHAT NIHILISTS SAY.
Neglect OF the Eve.

Whatever Gn ounce OF prevention
may be to other members OF the body.
it certainly is worth many pounds of
cure to the eye. Like a chronometer
watch, this delicate organ will stand any
amount of use, not to say abuse, but
when once thrown of it's balance it very
rarely can be brought back to its original
perfection of action, or, if it is, it be-
comes ever after liable to a return Of
disability of function, or the seat Of
actual disease. One would have sup.
posed from this fact, and from the fact
that modern civilization has imposed
upon the eye an ever-increasing
amount of strain, both as to tho actual
amount of work done, and the constant
ly increasing brilliancy and duration
of the illumination under which it is
performed, that the greatest pains would
have been exercised in maintaining the
organ in a condition of health, and the
greatest care and solicitude used in its
treatment when diseased. And yet it
is safe to say there is no organ in the
body the welfare of which is SO per-
sistently neglected as the eye.
[ have known fond and doting moth
ers take their children OF and 5 years
of age to have their first teeth filed,
instead of having them extracted. so
that the jaw might not suffer in it's due
development, and become in later years
contracted, while the eye, the most in
tellectual, the most apprehensive, and
the most discriminating of all our
organs, receives not even q passing
thought, much less an examination. 1t
never seems to occur to the parents that
the principal agent in child's educa-
ton is the eye; that through it it gains
not only its sense of the methods and
ways of existence of others, but even
the means for the maintenance of its
owu; lor does it occur to the parents
for an instant that many of the mental
as we'll as bodily attributes of q grow
ing child are fashioned, even if they
are not created, by the condition of the
eye alone.
A child is put to school without the
slightest inquiry on the part of the
parent, and much less on the part of
the teacher, whether it has the normal
amount of sight; whether it sees objects
sharply and we'll defined, or indistinctly
and distorted; whether it he near sight
ed or far-sighted; whether it sees with
one or two eyes; or finally, if it does
see clearly and distinctly, whether it is
not using quantity of nervous force
sufficient after time not only to cx-
haust the energy of the visual organ,
but the nervous system at large.

ENGLISH MARKETS.
The Mark Lane Express in its review
OF the British grain trade tue past week says
The weather has been seasonab,e and a con-
siderable area OF spring grain has been sown.
An carly and favorable seed time seems likely
to be secured. Antulhn sown wheat presents
generally satisfactory appearance as also
20 the pastures. Offerings Of home grown
wheat at country markets were generally
scanty, farmers having been occupied with
field work. The demand for. fine wheat for
sowing has recently been pretty active in the
provinces but in London the reserve shown
by millcrs restricted sales and last weeks opcn-
ing prices we're barely maintained. Arrivals
Of English wheat in Mark Lane lave been
moderate and the condition is not much i'm
proved. Imports of foreign, however, were
fairly liberal. Opinions relative to the course
cf prices in the Immediate future are pretty
equally divided, the chief interest centcring
upon the American Business has been small,
though wheat was only quoted at six pence
cheaper last Monday. A greater reduction
has since been necessary to elect sales of any
larya quantity. The depression was caused
by abstcntion of milcrs rather than ny the
qllcnce Of the scarcity, fairly maintained the
advance, but the future course Of prices de.
I,cnds upon the magnitude OF American ship
melts. Arrivals al ports of call have been
small. Buyers are holding of in expectation
OF Il better selection from the fleet row due
but owing to the extreme iirmncss OF holders,
full prices were paid where sales occurred.

WHAT NIH1LISTS SAY.
A Berlin dispatch Of March II, reports
that Geu. Meliko1f has received notice from
the Nihilist executive committee stating that
Eladetsky's attempt on his life was not made
by order OF the committee, that they had not
yet decided to kill him, and if the recent at
tempt had been made by their directions they
would have provided better weapons and
means Of Eight for his assailant.

fogs, without mistake or accident,
while acaptain who only occasionally
comes to the Sound, even if he
knows every crook and turn and
sounding, in clear weather, would
find himself at fault in fogs. So
with sailing vessels. The reason
why our regular licensed pilots have
met with no accident is because they
are so frequently and almost con-
stsntly cruising over the ground and
can tell their position in fog with
certainty of precision, which
captain coming in from sea, anxious
and worn out with watching, cannot
attain.
Another thing in this movement
of the pilot commissioners, which
commends itself to all candid men,
is that they seem to wish q thorough
discussion Of the question. Our
Legislature does not meet for year,
and during the interval we have ev.
cry reason to believe, as We certainly
do most earnestly hope, that good
pilot bill may be framed which will
take the place of the miserable abor.
ton We now have, scarcely a section
of which will stand judicial scrutiny.
Every business man on Puget
Sound knows that our commerce is
certain 20 increase to large proper
tions within the next two or three
years; there viii be q vast amount Of
shipping come here seeking for
freight for the time is very near at
band when we will have railroad
communication with the interior,
which will bring the treasures of the
Wslls Wslla country and our other
rich interior counties to Puget Sound
as shipping point. We must have
pilots on our waters, and we must
have laws to protect those pilots,
who are in turn o protection to com.
nerce. We look on this proposition
Of the pilot commissioners as . right
move in the right direction.

THE Nsxr pllor BILL.

WE call attention to the report Of
the Pilot Commissioners, held last
Monday. The most important action
was an order Of che board authoriz-
ing their secretary, Jsdge Swan, to
confsr With Hon. s. W! Hovey, Apd
Capt 81. E. Morgan, relative to
framing . suitable pilot bill which
will be acceptable to all parties.
We think she commissioners have
shown good judgment in their selec.
tiou. Judge Swan has been con-
nscted with the pilot service since
the pilot bill we now have was passed
twelve years ago. He was one Of
the first commissioners, with the late
Capt. &. S. Fowler aud Capt. J. Fl.
Swift one OF the present board, and
has been the Secretary TO the board
sincel its 6ss organization, and is
probably as well qualified to prepare
. bill which viii meet ali require.

Of the Puget Sound Pilot Commis-
sionsrs, and is thoroughly informed
OF the wants Of the Pilot service.
Tbess gentlemen, with s0ch Others
interested in commsrc as they NAV
desire to confer with, can prepare a
bill which will set this. yexsd .ques-
tioa atrest. We are glad to see the
spirit Of comproniss evinced in this
matter. We have conversed with
prominent mill owners on the Sound
and all seem willing to admit that
the wants Of commerce demand tha,
an efficient pilot service be organ
lied. The old senseless talk that
Puget Sound and Fuca Strait can
be 40 easily navigated as the Pacific
ocean, is re!utsd by the list OF
wrecks aud casualties which have
occurred since January 1st. on Fuca
Strait, Occasioned by thick snow
storms, fogs, and heavy gales. II is
a fact worthy Of comment that dur
ing all these twelve years not one
vessel has been lost that had a IL
eehsed pilot on board. The reason
Is very obvious. A pilot who 10 in
ths constant discharge Of bis duty is
OeHer qnafihed TO pilot 3 vessel in
all Heathers than Captain who only
comes 10 the Sound occasionally.
The assertion is easily proved by re-,
isrring TO the pilots on the Steamers,
men like Capt Libby, Capt. Nichols,
Capt. Waite, Capt. CIanoey, and
others, who by their constant pyac
tice can run their steamers in the
darkest night, and in the denses,
