REMARKABLE EYES.
MIRACULOUS Recovery Of Sight.

: @A~~NNNN~~ ~e~~N - 49,
Last winter a gentleman living
near Litchfeld, Conn, took bis
daughter, sixteen years Of age, on Q
sleigh ride. The day was cold, but
very sunny. On their return the
girl complained of her eyes. The
trouble grew worse, and finally the
girl was kept in dark room and
there remained with no ray of light
until few days ago, when she ex'
perienced peculiar sensation
which she describes as follows
" 1t seemed as If my eyes we're run-
ming out, or part of them. Putting
my hand. up 10 ny eyes could feel
something coming out over my low>
err eyelids which took hold of and
pulled ont. 1t gave me some pain
to do so, but almost immediately my
eyes felt better. Instead Of smar-
ting seusation when | winked, they
felt cold and natural, and it was a
pleasure 10 wink them. Then came
the thought, "Why, my eyes are
better, aud | believe could bear
the light, which thought was SO in
pressed on my mind that was dc
termined to try. Hcsitatipgly |
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 the
moment that | found ont that could
once more leave the dark, dismal
room and see the glorious Sunlight
again was so overpowering that |
gave one scream for joy and then
tainted away"
Now comes the straugest part Of
the story. Six mouths ago the girls
eyes were straight and natural now
the girl is ross.eyed, but she pays
no attention to that. She sees
things Just the same as she always
did, but let her close her right eye
and look out of her left eye, and she
Gao see distance Of eight or ten
miles, and distinguish things as we'll
as an ordinary person can only six
ty rods away. She 10 able to look
clear to the lake, distance of three
and half miles, and identify any
one, describing their dress even.-
The distant bills are brought close
to her and she can see the farmers
getting in their hay, even counting
the number of heaps, which, 10 an
air line, are seven miles from her
To test her, q field glass was used,
and her sight would far outreach
any object that could be seen with
the glass If she closes her left eye
and looks out of the right, then she
cannot see anything except close to
her, but that eye ia perfect micro
scope. She is able to distinguish
things that the natural eye canDot
see. The point of needle looks as
blunt as a crowbar, and it is won
derful to hear her describe the beau
ttul colors of flies and other insects.
To her the hairs on persons head
look as large as darning needles,
and in the finest piece Of linen she
can count the threads as easily as
one can count bean poles. The mo
ment she opens both eyes they as
sumo the cross~eyed expression or
shape, and then she secs again as
any other person. 1t is the inter>
ton of her father to take her to
New York at no distant day to let
some of the celebrated physicians
see this wonderful phenomenon
The girl herself is a very bright,
pretty girl, but very timid.

UsURY LAW.

THERE is growing disposition to
repeal the usury Ia and put money
on the free list. Our farmers
pay "a per cent on provisions, and
we see no Just reason why they
should not have the legal opportuni-

per cent and buy their provisions at
cash prices. Itis an unjust discrim-

COTTON PICKER.

A cotton picker has been the
great want in the cotton producing
sections of the South, aud now Mr.
Fl. 2. Dooley, Of Forest City, Ar
kansas, claims, after having work ed
at it fnur years, to have succeeded
10 inventing the desired machine
Mr. Dooley says that lones man and
two horses are all the help needed
for his picker; the driver sacks and
throws the cotton overheard as the
machine goes from turn to turn
The mschine can be used as soon as
enough cotton is open to justify run
ming land so on until all the cotton
is open. If all the cotton is open
the picker will. pick sight acres of
cotton a day, whilst it can be built
fer one hundred dollars. In the
picking all the dust, trash and dirt
is shaken off. 1.-THE merits claimed
for the picker are realized, Mr..
Dooley has conferred an inestimable
boon on the cotton planters By bis
Invention, whilst its success would
insure him fortune. ra t-e ~.
