The physicians and oculists 81 Find
lay. o., are greatly puzzled over the case
Of Jennie Sutton. From the right eye OF
the girl ffty-four pieces Of broken glass
were taken by Dr.. Z. c. Tritch. These
pieces OF glass have been coming from
the eye Of this girl for the last month,
and only day before yesterday DR.. Tritch'
removed every evidence Of glass in the
eye and announced that all were taken
out.
Yesterday she came back and had
ffty-four more pieces removed, and yet
no one knows how they came into the
eye. The girl Is domestic In the fam
fly of ex-County Surveyor Stringfellow,
whose wife has been taking these
particles of glass from the girls eye for
d month past, but becoming Alarmed at
their Temperance almost as soon as re-
moved, had DR.. Trttch undertake to
cure the young woman OF her peculiar
af1iction. The case puzzles the doctor
quite as much as 1t does the girl and her
employers, as she met with no accident
by which the glass could get into the
eye; and the fact that the particles give
her little or no pain is equally as mex
plicable. 1t is estimated that over 100
pieces of glass have been taken from the
eye since the case first attracted atten-
tion. The only theory thus far advanced
to explain the matter is that the girl
has some sort of q chemical nature, and
that the crystals are formedb by her tears.

Chicago promises to perform wonders
at the great fair. There is to be an ex-
act representation of the East, its peo-
pie, its manners, and its products: In
stead of getting together 8 lot Of ORR
entail goods and putting them lin glass
cases for the %edification of the multi
tude, there will be a boulevard with
cross streets each of which will be made
to represent with as much accuracy and
vividness as possible an actual street in
an Eastern city. These streets will
be actual copies of real ones that are
most typical in Cairo, Damascus, Bag
dad, Bayreuth, Jerusalem, Alexandria,
C%onstantiuople and elsewhere. With
such surroundings visitors to the fair
will be made to feel as if they were
journeying through the Orient. Turn
ing around a street in Bagdad they will
find themselves in Damascus, whence
another turn will take them into Jern-

The first breach Of promise trial in
France occurred at Beziers. It was
the young nan who had failed. The
sentence runs:
Whereas, the promise Of marriage
was of public notsriety, the banns were
published, and a rude breaking Of the
marriage was calculated to injure the
brides family; whereas, the latter had
been to a considerable expense in view
Of the ceremony, particularly in view of
the bridal dress and accessories (tros-

pensate them. The bridegroom is sem
fenced to 916O damages for the moral
injury to the family, and to indemnify
them for the cost Of the wedding dress
and the interest OF the outlay"
The case wal tried bya bench Of
