A Strange Story from COnnecti-
cut.

One day last winter gentleman
living near Litchfield, took with him
to IA sleigh ride his daughter, who is
just past sixteen years of age. 1t was
very bright, sunny day, but cold.
The glistening snow which had fallen
the night before was bright and al
most dazzling. The man, to protect
his eyes, wore pair of glasses shaded
blue, but the young girl had nothing
to protect her eyes from the intense
glare. Nothing was thought of it at
the time, but upon arriving home the
girl complained of her eyes paining
her. Her mother bathed them with
cream, thinking that in the morning
they would be all right, but when
morning came they were much worse,
and continuing to be still more so,
they called in physician, but all to no
purpose, as he could do nothing to re-
lieve her from the pain which her eyes
gave her. To make the story short
the girl was obliged to be kept in a
room where no ray of light could enter
for six long, weary months. From
time to time other physicians were en-
ployed, but none could give her relief.
They finally came to the conclusion
that she would eventually become
blind. In this way she remained IA
close prisoner in this dark room, as a
single ray of light, either from the sun
or from lamp panied her eyes, which
were relieved when the room was
darkened.
One day last week while she was
sitting there all alone, she felt new
| al,nt1f hAf. uhi.h Sha hn al
not experienced before as she de-
scribes it:
at seemed as if my eyes were run
ming out, or part of them. Putting
my hand up to my eyes | could feel
something coming out over my lower
eyelids, which | took hold of and pull
ed out. 1t gave me some pain to do
so, but almost Immediately my eyes
felt better-instead of Il smarting sen
sation when | winked, they felt cool
and natural, and it was IL pleasure to
wink them. Then came the thought
why, my eyes are better, and be-
lieved | could bear the light, which
thought was so impressed upon my
mind that | was determined to try.
Hesitatingly | opened the door, when
to my great joy found | was able to
bear the light as well as ever | could.
The feeling that came over me at that
moment that | found out that could
once more leave that dark and dismal
room and see the glorious sunlight
again, was so OverpOwering that |
gave one scream for joy, and then
tainted away"
Now comes the strangest part of the
story. Her eyes, which six months
ago were straight and natural, are now
what we call eross-eyed.- Winsted

MONROE, La. Dec. 4, 1881,

Editors of the Advocate and CapitoIian
GENTLEMEN--I have observed the
editorials in your papers and in the
New Orleans papers concerning your
midland Railroad from Houston to
May st. Louis via Baton Rouge.
| am interested as a Louisianian
and from a most friendly feeling for
the people of your city, in having the
Capital of this State accessible by
railroads. If you will excuse my
officiousness, will suggest the plan
which will place Baton Rouge on a
| National Inter-Oceanic Railway.
Col. E. W. Cole is the President
OF the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad Company, head
quarters at Chattanooga, Tenn. He
is one of the great organizers Of grand
railroad combinations. The enclosed
leaf, from the Rand McNally Railway
Guide for November, 1851, will show
what he has already accomplished.
His system has its present Southwest
ern terminus at Meridian, Miss. That
he wishes to penetrate Texas and
Mexico, and to reach the Pacific
Ocean, cannot be doubted. His route
to Houston lies through Baton Rouge,
whether he builds through to Houston
or connects with Huntington's South
ern Pacific at Vermilionville. He can
build from Meridian to a point on the
New Orleans and Jackson Railroad,
due east of Clinton, La; thence to
Clinton; thence, using the Clinton,
Port Hudson and Baton Rouge Rail
road, to Baton Rouge; and thence to
Houston or Vermilionville. Or, if
the Clinton, Port Hudson and Baton
Rouge Railroad will not merge into
his, he can build to a point on the
New Orleans and Jackson Railroad,
directly east of Baton Rouge, and
thence to Baton Rouge.
By either arrangement, he can use
that road, the Chicago, st. Louis and
New Orleans, as his New Orleans con-
nection. There is no railway between
Coles system and the Illinois Central
with it's great jackson Route. From
New Orleans to Meridian, via Tan
gipahoa, Amite or Ponchatoula, the
distance is notmaterially greater than
by the New Orleans and Northeastern
Railroad of the changers. Col. Cole
knows that he will get no favors from
the changers, who own the through
route from that place to Cincinnati.
The Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road Company controls the New
Orleans and Mobile Railroad, and
they are, not friends Of Col. Cole.
Hence, he will get no New Orleans
business at Meridian through them.
That be will not stop at Meridian is
as sure as that he has brains. Has
Florida Louisiana the energy to Sc
cure his mastery cooperation , in
building through it a TRANSIT Cont
