A Sad Suicide.
C0ushatta Citizen.


On Friday the 21st inst. there occur
red one of the sadest suicides in this
parish, that ever falls to our lot to be-
moan; Jimmie Sanders, (white) an
orphan boy living with his Uncle Mr..
Sam Stephens, near Loves Lake, aged
ten years, put an end to his ea1 tiIly
existence by hanging. He was bright
boy, and OF sensitive nature. On the
21st he was observed to leave the house
and going out at the front way. Mrs.
Stephens, who was at home at the time,
noticed that there was all unusual eX-
preston of countenance, bat could not
tell that anything was the matter with
him, as he went off in that direction
often. He went down the road playing
as usual, but was followed for some
time, and seemed to be making an ef-
tort to get out of sight. This he ac-
complished after awhile; there was no
suspicion that he intended harm to
himself. He did not return at night
and the family becoming alarmed,
made search fot him, but no effort
could succeed, and on the next day the
for the missing child, this was unsuc-
cessful until on Tuesday the 25th He
was found about one quarter of mile
from home, on Il small bayou hanging
by his suspenders to the limb of tree.
He had on a pair of home made sus-
penders, and making moose OF them
and putting this around his neck, sus-
pended himself deliberately. We are
not often called upon to moan the act
of self destruction of one so young,
innocent and pure. What deep and
abiding sadness could act so deeply on
the mind of one so young as to seek in
self obstruction the solace of all his
troubles Let the young spirit "sleep
in peace" and may the dispenser of all
good, watch over, and tend mercifully
that young life in the spirit land that
was free from sin in this.

Using Ones Eyes.
Scientific American

How many of us go through life
without ever realizing that our eyes
have to be educated to see as we'll as
our tongues to speak, and that only the
barest outlines of the complex and
exchanging images focused on the
retina ordinarily impress themselves
upon the brain? That the education
of the eye may be brought to high
state of perfection is shewn in numer
Gus ways.
There are many delicate processes of
manufacture which depend for their
practical success upon the nice visual
perception of the skilled artisan, who
almost unconsciously detects variations
his materials which are inappreciable
to the ordinary eye.
The hunter, the mariner, the artist
the scientist. each needs to educate the
eye eye to quick action in his special
field of research before he can hope to
become expert in it.
The following story from the Penn
Monthly, which is quite apropos, is rela
ted of Agassiz, and it is sufficiently
characteristic of this remarkably accu
rate observer to have the merit of
probability We are told that once
upon time the Professor had occasion
to select an assistant from one OF his
classes. There were a number of candi
dates for the post OF honor, and finding
himself in quandary as to which one
he should choose, the happy thought
occurred to him OF subje ting three of
the more promising students in turn to
the simple test of describing the view
from his laboratory window, which
overlooked the side yard of the college.
One said that he saw merely board
fence and brick pavement another
added stream of soapy water third
detected the color of the paint on the
fence, noted green mould or fungus
on the bricks, and evidences OF " blu
ing" in the water, besides other details.
1t is needless to tell to which candidate
was awarded the coveted position.
Houdin, the celebrated prestidigita-
tor, ottributed his success in his pro-
fession mainly to his quickness of per-
ception, which, he tolls us in his enter
tanning autobiography. he acquired by
educating his eye to detect a large
number of objects at single glance.
His simple plan was to select shop
window full OF miscellaneous assort-
ment of articles. and walk rapidly past
it number of times every day. writing
down each object which impressed it
self on his mind. In this way he was
able, after IA time, TO detect instanta-
neously all of the articles in the win
dow, even though they might be num-
bered by scores.
