Augusta and Knoxville Railroad, and with

Tired, he is in fair way to recon-

take the latter's stock, which is very nearly
a controlling interest, and in return will
guarantee the immediate completion of the
road to Greenwood and the building of
through line to Knoxville via Elberton, Ga.,
Toccoa City and Rabun Gap, within three
years, giving the city an equal amount Of
stock in the new line. He will give the
city a bond of $500 900 for the faithful per-
formance of these measures and begin work
at once if the agreement is perfected.
At meeting of the city council this after
noon this proposition was discussed and met
with general approval. There is no doubt
that the arrangement will be consummated,
provided the requisite bond is given. This

Most Remarkable Eyes.

Last winter a gentleman living near Litch-
field Conn, took his daughter, sixteen years
of age, on sleigh-ride. The day was cold.
put 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 raw of
light until a few DAYS ago. when she expe-
rienced a peculiar sensation which she des-
crbed as follows: :" 1t seemed as if my ewes
were running out, or part of them. Putting
NY hand up TO my eyes l could feel something
coming out over my lower eyelids which
took hold of and pulled out Ii gave me
some pain To do SO. but almost Immediately
my eyes felt better Instead of smartiny
sensation when | winked. they felt cool and
natural, and 1t was a pleasure to wink them.
Then came the thought. WHY, my ewes are
better, and | believe | could bear the light
which thought was SO impressed upon my
mind that | was determined to try. lIesi-
tatingly opened the door, when to nv great
joy found that was able to bear the light
As well as ever could. The feeling that
came over me at the moment that l found out
that | could once more leave the dark, dismal
room and the glorious sunlight again was
50 overpowering that | gave one scream for
JOY and then tainted Tway.
Now comes the strangest part of the story.
Six months ago the girls eyes were straight
and natural now the girl is cross-eyed, but
she pays no attention to that. She sees
things Just the same as she always did, but
let her close her right eve and look out of
only her left eye, and she can see a distance
of eight or ten miles, and distinguish things
as well as an ordinary person can only Go
rods away. She is able to look clear to the
lake. a distance of three and a-half miles,
and identify any one, describing their dress
even. The distant hills are brought close to
her. and she can see the farmers getting in
their hay, even counting the number of heaps,
which. in an air line, are seven miles
from her To test her, tield-glass was
used. and her sight would far out-reach any
object that could be seen with the glass.
If she closes her left eye and looks out of the
close to her, but that eye is a perfect micro
scope. She is able to distinguish things that
the natural eye cannot see. The point of a
needle looks as blunt as a crowbar. and it is
wonderful to hear her describe the beautiful
colors of flies and other insects. To her the
hairs on a persons head look rs large as
darning needles, and in the finest piece of
linen she can count the threads as easily as
any one can count bsan-poles The moment
she opens both eyes they assume the cross
eyed expression or shape, and then she sees
again as any other person. 1t is the in
tention of her father to take her to New
York at no distant day TO let some of the eel
ebrated physicians see this wonderful phe-
nomenon. The girl herself is a very bright,
pretty girl, but very timid.

The Effigy Mounds of Wisconsin.

The mounds of Wisconsin afford to the sci
entiflc world one of the most unique subjects
of study, as there is nothing like them in the
United States, or. far as known, in the
world. They are called, from their shapes
and resemblance to certain animals, emble-
matte or etigy mounds. The object of erect
ing them has been hitherto unknown, and
hence their significance has been hidden.
There are, however, certain facts now known
in reference to the native tribe, which promise
to furnish the clue to their mounding. 1t is
probable that complete system of cthnoogy
will yet be drawn out from these mounds and
other data, which shall solve some of the
many problems in reference to the origin of
society, the rise Of religion, and other snb-
jects. These subjects are becoming very
important. Aside from them, however, the
mounds of Wisconsin also have long engaged
the attention of the scholars of this country
and of Europe. We are happy to learn that
the Smithsonian Institute at Washington is
about to undertake the work of re-surveying
these works, and that monogram is now
being prepared by the Rev. S. ID. Peet. of
Clinton, Wis, who, as editor of the American
Antiquarian, is well known.-Fiom the

Just now there is much discussion in Eng
land over the successor of the late Dean
Stanley. The appointment resting with Mr..
Gladstone, who is an ultra -rtualist, it is
feared that he will improve the occasion to
promote his intimate friend, Canon Liddon.
Now the Canon is an eloquent and learned
preacher, but he is the leader of the High
Church party, and has made st. Pauls the
chief Ritualistic centre in London Trans
ferred to Westminster he would transform
the present traditions of the Abbey and en-
counter opposition from Broad Church chap
ter made up of men like Canon Farrar and
Canon Barry. But there are reasons against
Canon Lddon's appointment. The Queen
does not like him because of a personal ap-
peal he once made in n sermon preached be-
fore her, and Mr. Gladstone has hitherto
maintained the established policy Of the
cathedrals. SO that if the Queen does not
insist upon a court favorite, the chances are
good for Canon Farrar. and no more happy
choice could be made, in view of the vast
number of English speaking people who have
long looked upon Westminster Abbey as the
stronghold of a liberal christian faith.

As has been expected for several weeks,
all the works belonging to the Sprague estate
were closed indefinitely Saturday by order of
Trustee Chafee. They include the Baltic.
Arctic, and Quidnck Mills. those at Natick
and Augusta, Me, besides the Morgan Mill
at johnson. the United States Flax Company s
works, and the Cranston Print Works. This
action throws out of employment over 5000
besides women and children. The cause of
the closing is the result of the anticipated
removal of the Trustee as Treasurer of the
Quidnck Company by the Sprague family
and the injunntion of the court restraining
him from controlling and using the funds of
the company for running expenses. As he
cannot obtain funds outside sufficient for his
needs. and as some dealers are perplexed, not
knowing who is the legal financial agent of
the company, he is obliged to close.

Why, l. w. Harpet's Nelson

all ether brands is because it is the
most regular and perfect product, ,
lncontest.,bly ever made. A long
experience the manufacture of the
Harper, the large capital of the
disiI!ler, which enables him TO hold
his whiskey until it has fully ma
tnred. together with the fact that
the whiskey is bought by and ship

accounts for the unvarying satisfac
iion it has given those best edu-
:ated to a fine whiskey.
