suffering, not only from amaurosis-a
blindness caused by the excessive use Of
quinine-but also from cischonism or
quinine deafness. One Of the physicians
said Twenty to forty grains. taken
within say ten hours arc sufficient to
cause amaur0sis and the regulsf use OF
quinine in much smaller quantities daily

A Romance on the Mnr

A gentleman from Missouri, who is
now IA Washington, tells the Baltimore
An.eri dn correspondent Of romantic
incident that fell under his observation
in Western Missouri during the war.
About forty miles east Of Kansas City,
and near the little village OF Kingsville,
In johnson County, there lived man
named Harris, who had two daughters.
The elder OF the two was called Eliza.
Those were rough times, and very few
people were permitted to live in that
part OF Missouri. Quantrell recruited
most OF his celebrated guerrilla band
from that section. One of his men was
81 Porter, tall, straight, athletic
young man, OF quiet demeanor, but
great courage. Quantrcll counted him
one OF his best men. He and Eliza
Harris met and fell in love. She was
a bold, determined girl. of strong
PHYSIQUE, and she resolved to marry
Porter and share his fortunes in the
saddle. She did so, and YVES sort Of
daughter OF the regiment to Quant-el's
command during one entire summer OF
their lighting and raiding on the Mis-
souri, and Kansas borders. She endured
oil the privations aud dangers of one of
the most reckless forms OF guerrilla war
fare ever known, and escaped with her
husband unharmed. When the war was
over they went to California, where
Porter fell into a profitable business and
made n fortune, and to-day that same
Eliza Harris and 81 Porter arc in Paris
looking after the education of their
children.
This is one of the romances OF the
Quantrell command that has never been
published.
