The decision Of the United States Cir

nationality Of The C~Aliforpi. system Of
assessing the property Of railroad cor.
porations. Of which We have already pub.
lished telegrsphic information, is averse
to the position taken by the State. The
tribunal holds that the Constitution Of
that State wherein il provides that a
mortgage on property shall be treated,
for all the purposes Of assessment and
taxation, a. an interest in the property,
but especially excerpts railroads from the
provision that the value Of the property.
less the value Of the security. shall be
assessed and taxed to the owner Of the
property. il in conflict with and opposed
tothe spiritoftheF oartssnth Amendment
Of the Federal Constitution. 20 far ~
such exception il concerned. That
amendment prohibits any State from
denying to any person within its juris.
diction the equal protection Of the laws.
This protection" says the Court, Elm.
plies not only that the means which the
laws afford for the protection Of private
rights shall Be equally accessible to every
one, but that no one shall be subject to
any greater burdens or charges than such

Last winter, rs the story goes, a Lite

Last winter, as the story goes, Litch.
field, CT, girl of sixteen went riding on
cold day. Returning home, she COM
planned that her eyes panied her. They
grew worse, and she was obliged to stay
in dark room. Recently she felt some
thing coming out Of her eyes. She helped
it out with her hands. Her eyes felt bet
ter ut once, and her sight was recovered.
Now, comes the strangeSt part OF the story.
Six mouths ago the girls eyes were
ST. aight and natural, now the girls cross
eyed but she pays no attention 10 that.
She sees things just the same us she al
WAYS did. but let her close her right eye
and look out of her left eye, and she eau
see 4 distance Of eight or ten miles, anu
distinguish things as well us IN ordinary
person can ouly sixty rods away. She is
able 10 look clear to the lake, Il distance
of three and half miles, and Identify any
one, describing their dress even. Tue dis
tant hills are brough: close to her, and
she can see the farmers getting in their
, nay, even COuIllIuS thc iiuIloSi Vi iiSapS,
which in an air liue are seven miles from
her. TO test her field glass was used,
and her sight would far outstretch any
object that could be seen with the glass.
Ii she closes her eye and looks out OF the
right, teen she cannot see anything ex.
ccp, close to her, but that eye is Il perfect
microscope. She is able 10 distinguish
things that the natural eye cannot see.
The point of needle looks us blunt as
crow bar, and it is wonderful to hear her
describe the beautiful colOrs of flies and
other insects. TO her the hairs on per-
sons head look us large us darning nee
dies, aud the finest piece of linen she can
count the threads rs easily as one can
count bean poles. The moment she opens
both eyes they assumed the cross eyed
expression or shape, aud then she sees
again as any other person. 1t is the in
teniiou of her father to take her to New
York ut no distant day to let some of the
celebrated physicians see this wonderful
phenomenon, The girl herself Is very
bright, pretty girl, but very timid.

down, and the boat Immediately filled and
sank. at the place where the accident oc-
Cured the Tuckascegee is swift and deep,
with rapids just below. The men chung

there. Only twelve convicts were saved.
One of the guards WAS washed ashore be-
