The Argument Against the Blind Bride.


We know not who invented this in
strument Of horse torture, but we know
he did not understand the anatomy and
physiology Of the eye of horse. HUI
man vision is binocular--that is, we see
the same object with both eyes--and so
adjust the axis Of vision that the object
appears single though seen with two
eyes. But the eyes OF the horse are
placed on the sides Of the head, and the
axis Of each is nearly at right angles
with the longitudinal line OF the body,
SO that it is Impossible that tho same
object can be distinctly seen by both
eyes. Now, by binding the eye in the
direction in which it was intended, in
its construction. that it should see, it is
forced to use an oblique vision, as II we
should cover the front Of our optics and
be compelled to see only by the corners
of our eyes. This unnatural and con-
strained use Of the eye must, TO great
er OF less extent, impair vision, If not
entirely destroy it. The object for
which the blind bride is used is not ac-
complished by it. A horse is more
readily frightened when he cannot see
the object of his dread than if he can
have fair view of it, But it is sur
prising TO observe with what tenacity
men hold on to an absurd and cruel
practice when moments reflection
should teach them better Nineteen
out OF every twenty horses you see in
harness have blind brides on, and if
you ask the owner to explain its bcne-
tits, or why he uses it, he will be utter
~ unable to give a rational answer,
We are not surprised that draught
horses are subject to diseased eyes-wo
wonder that they are not all blind. he

ApJUDGED INSANE.

This morning Mrs Margaret Shaw, of
Hampton, aged 3S years, was adjudged
insane before Judge Adams bya jury OF
which DR. Reiter was foreman.
She appears to have been of sound mind
until one month age, when she exhibited
symtoms of insanity, but at the time it was
thought to be caused by sickness. She
soon became so marked in her actions,
however, as to render the question of her
insanity no longer in doubt Her malady
partook of an violent jealousy of all about
her, and the slightest incident would cause
her to become madly jealous of the party
who caused it. The case was heard very
carefully and the patient declared insane.
She has means, and it is not yet decided
whether she win go to Jacksonville or to a
private asylum.
