Civilization aud Eyesight.

Foreigners who visit US, says the
Philadelphia News, are struck by the
number of short-sighted. persons they
see. Mgr. Capel has recently ex--
pressed his opinion on the subject. and
attributes the decay of the eyesight to
small type in the universally read
newspapers and to the lack OF atten-
ton paid to proper light and proper
arrangement Tor light in our public
schools.
Doubtless much short-sightcdness is
due to these causes. but more is due to
the habits of civilization, to the in
crease in reading. and especially in
reading by artificial light. DR.. Brude-
nell Carter. an eminent English oculist,
has just read a paper on this subject
before the Society of Arts, at whose
meeting the anecdote was told that q
clear-sighted Englishman in Zululand,
by the assistance of powerful binocu-
lar glass, made out two distant objects
on the horizon. One was a larger speck
than the other, and he guessed that
this was mounted man, whose COM
panion was walking. The Zulus with
him looked in the dir ction indi-
Gated. aud at once informed him who
the gentleman was, and that he was
accompanied oy his wife on foot.
This story may seemed forced, but
20 artist, naturalist, or other person
who is practiced in the art of vision
for art it is. and we call such persons
.'trained observers s'-will fail to attest
70 its truth in a greater or less degree,
according to his experience. DIR. Car
ter says that 2j per cent of the children
examined by him in London school
had defective eyes. In Germany the
proportion has been shown to be about
the same.
In antiquity short-sightedness was
scarcely known. NJ. Francisque Sar-
cey, the scholarly dramatic critic Of
the Paris Temps, compares the enor-
which held $4,000 spectators, none of
whose auditors had opera-glasses or
spectacles, yet could see everything
with ease, with our little theaters,
holding one-tenth as many, in which
that part of the audience in the back
rows is obliged to have opera-glasses if
q sight of the stage is desired.
Nearly all of the observers of our de-
fective eyes agree that they are caused
by excessive reading and by artificial
light. But there is more behind these.
It is known that any muscle of the
body can be developed by training. 1t
is SO with the eye, as any landsman
who has tlattered himself on his far,
clear sight can testify when he has
gone to sea and been mortified to learn
how much farther off and clearer the
commonest sailor, who is practiced in
sweeping the horizon, can detect and
describe objects. Yet we doubt if one
reader in q thousand has ever tested
his own eyes or those of his children
for any defect, let alone any purpose ol
training them. This is a very serious
neglect. In our colleges the other
muscles of the body are carefully
studied and exercised. Who evel
heard of club or group of persons
devoted to training their eyes! The
result is that we modern dwellers ir
cities 60 through life half blind and
growing more SO, when little atten
ton would not only strengthen mos,
important sense as we'll as revea
beauties in nature that we literall,
know not of.

interest attaches to the sentiment and the
autograph, for they were the last words that

THE DETAILS OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF
THE STATUE.

Up to the present time emo statue had ever been
executed of the extraordinary proportions Of the
Statue Of Liberty In order to form an idea of this
work which was without precedent, ii was neces-
sary togive he greatest attention to the means of
execution; itlwas to foresee the elements
of solidty and the exgences Of the transportation
to gAmerica; finally it was necessary to seek to
avoid heavy expenses into which one is rapidly
drawn in work Of this kind, according. to the
methods employed. Tho examination OF tholvari-
ouss difficulties led us to adopt the system Of ham,
nored copper, which from artistic point of view,
offers clements Of excellence whom IL Ia we'll treated

Nothing but the Truth.

Nix. EDI1oR We are now approaching
the haryest.time Of our Summer crops.
Providence has singularly blessed us a!l in
various ways this season. 1t delights the
eye of even the wayjariDg man TO view the
wide.spreading fields Of corn and cotton
which deck this sunny land of ours from
its four corners. Prosperity stares us in
tho face The rains continue TO come
corn and cotton TO grow. Everybody is
happy, and verify we have many things to
be thankful for; yet there is one thing
none Of us seem to appreciate as we ought,
and It is that in order to be prosperous in
this world man must be MS cereful in
saving as he is in making. For instance,
the Fruit Crop is short, and yet there will
be enough wasted in this County this sea-
son to feed regiment Of hungry soldiers
sir months. II our people would go to- the
little expense, and less trouble, of securing
package of this Fruit Preseryer from
HILL Bros, they could keep all the fruit
and vegetables they didn't need this Sum
mer for next Winter, thereby saving great
expense and providing n luxury for them
selves ard family.
: There is no doubt but that the prcpara-
ton will do what is claimed for it. Some
of our best people used it last year. and
are using it, and recommending it to their
friends, this season.
We wish to see everybody prosperous,
happy and comfortable and would sus-
gest that, in order TO be so, they must lock
closely after small matters.

The Hampton Guardian SAYS

Since the contest for the Charleston COL
lcctornhip has been settled It leaks out that
II was through the influence, of Senator
Hampton that Mr.. Jervey secured the ap.
pointment. The Senator was always n
welcome guest at the White House during
President Arthur's administration, and
now 1t seems that he Is even more popular
more than his brother Senators when visit
ing the Presidents mansion.
Senator Hampton has achieved bis
influence by not unduly pressing his re-.
quests for official favors upon the Presi.
dents. When matter of real import.
ance arises he is listened TO with the
uttermost respect and confidence.
