A NEW THING IN OPTIC'S. nf TdncoiiMi Professor Benjamin C. Merrill is gen erally conceded lo l>e one of the fore most scientific men of Milwaukee. Hitherto he 1ms confined his researches to the Held of electricity rather than to that of optics, and it was not supposed that the world would bo indebted to him for the most important discovery in connection with the eve that has ever vet been made. Professor Merrill has long been of the opinion that the tele scope is a clumsy method of supplying the deficiency of eye power, and some months ago he undertook to ascertain if there was any way by which we could be nlde to dispense with artificial lenses. It is n well ascertained fact flint persons who are near-sighted, or, in other words, can see only such objects as are near to them, have the ball of the eye globular and protuberant, while those whose vision enables them to see objects at a long distance from them have the eye flattened and sunken. The obvious ex planation of this fact is the theory that when the eve is flattened the lenses are compressed, and thus focal distance is increased, while the opposite effect fol lows the too great rotundity of the eye. Acting in accordance with this theory, Professor Merrill conceived the plan of increasing the power of the eye, not by using artificial glnss lenses, but by improving the natural lenses. He de signed an instrument, consisting of two smnll metallic disks, each pierced with an extremely small hole, and connected by a light steel band. These disks are to bo placed one directly over tho center of each eye, whiln the steel hnnd, pass ing around the head, holds thorn in place. This hand is so niado that it can bo shortened or longhtenod by turn ing a thumbscrew, and, of course, just in proportion as it is shortened tho disks press against the eyes and Hattons thorn. Tho inventor tried his instrument upon himself before exhibiting it to any ono. Ho found that when the disks were put in position and the screw wns gradually turned his power of sooing distant objects steadily increased. A very slight increase of pressure on tho eyes gave a very marked ineroaso of visual power. He made experiments both by day and night, and in overveaso with marked success. He found tlint in tho daytime ho could rend tho “Times” at a distanco of twenty rods by giving tho screw two complete turns, and at night he could pcrcoivo the moons of Jupiter and the ring of Saturn with six turns of tho screw. Up to this point, tho operation of tho instrument wns quite painless, but any attempt to give greater eye-power was attended with a sharp pain in tho eyes and a dazzling light, which rendered all objects invisi ble. Professor Morrill hns calculated, however, that six turns of the thumb screw givo his oyes n power equal to tlint of a refracting telescope of forty- two leet focal distance, and that, in fact, thero is no teloseopo in existence which hns anything like the power of his oyos when they have been properly adjusted by the help of his new instrument. A Flower For in. A correspondent of tho“Boston Herald" gives tho following account of n noted flower farm in England: In n comer of the county of Essex, England, Messrs. Carter, floriculturists, lmve'cstablishod a farm devoted to the growth of flowers. Those plants nre not destined to adorn the gardens of tho wealthier classes, but to furnish seed from which flowers may bo ultimately obtained. A recent visit to tho village of St. Osytli, discloses a tract of well-sheltered country, which, in its variety of colors, reminded ono of a stained glass window gone mad. In ono place an expanse of the deepest blue is formed bv a few acres of Nemophifa insignis. Next to it appears n perfect sea of tho purple Saponaria. Then comes a dash of the deep blue Lobelia, and, farther on, one enters a spneo cov ered with the Venetian red of the Phlox drammondi. Those are followed by smaller beds of Sweet Williams, tho yel low Oxalis, tho pink Euoharidium, ’tho purple Loptospermum, nnd those masses of color are relieved by the white Nemo- phila. Another portion of the farm is devoted to Petunias, with purple and whito leaves edged with green; those are fol- lowed by a jollow sen of Eschscholtzia crocea, nnd then comes a promontory of tho odiferotiH sweot Sultan,’xvliite, lilac and yellow. At tho end of this appears an island of Verbena surrounded by tho blue Lupin. A sea of the bright scarlet Godetiu, named after the Princess of Wales, and another pond of the same color is formed by the Lobelia eardi- nnlis. Every color is found here; the blue of tho Lorbelia speciosa, the palo blue of tho Campanule, the yellow of tho snapdragon, the rosy tint of the sweot pea, tho deep orange of tho Esehscholt- zia mandarin, the bright scarlet of the Tom Thumb Nasturtium, ,tlie old-fash ioned Virginia stock, tho French gray and purple-colored Godetia whitnoyi, tho white Clarkia, dedicated to Mrs. Langtry, while Lord Bcnconfield’s ami Mr. Gladstone’s names nre immortalized in difforont kinds of Chrysanthemums. These flowers are not picked, but are allowed to run to seed, which is care fully gathered and made up into smnll packages. One corner of tho farm is dovoted to the cultivation of the seed of the more useful products. Here may bo found n bod of American parsley, and a plot of the new mammoth wheat lately intro duced froiff the States. This cereal pro duces an "oar of immense size, but bearded like barley. These “horns,” as the beard is ctdled, drop off as tho car ripens, leaving it perfectly smooth. Next to the extirpation of weeds, the gardener’s greatest difficulty is to keep tho different kinds of flowers in their own beds. The small birds do their best to mix them up, and seem to take a special delight in carrying the seed of some bright scarlet flower and dropping it into the midst of n bed dex'oted to a flower of another color. The lteason Why. Why does the voung'mnn, who whilom greeted you with unaverted gaze and a pleasant good-morning, now veil his oyes in their down drooping lashes nnd pass you by without a word, either good, bad or indifferent ? Why is his countenance sicklied o’er with the sickly smile of all- controlling self-consciousness ? Why his beseeching, appealing look when his young acquaintance is about to address him ? Why dodges he quickly down the ido street rather than meet tho throng °£. young fellows it xvas once his chiefest pleasure to meet and be with ? When entering a doorway, who can say why he stoops so low ?Whv this hu mility, this reverence, in one who was wont to carry his head so high ? Why consorts ho exclusively with his elders and why does he avoid his contem poraries as he would a pestilence ? The answer is easy to find. He has on his first Tall Hat. FOX THE FAIR SEX* A French Female Card Player. A Paris letter says : Mmo. do Bou- trais, a very rich chatelaiuo of Touraine, a lady who moves in tho highest society, is porfoet mistress of all games of cards, nnd could givo points to our most skilled club men. Recently the Count ess Dourakiue, a great Russian lady nnd a gambler, as most Russian Indio’s nre, happening to find herself in the same hotel with Mine, de Boutrnis nnd knowing her reputation, invited her for a trial of skill. Mine, do Boutrnis joy fully accepted the clinllonge. The Russian lady chose piquet. The game began nt nine o’clock in the evening. By sunrise Mine, de Boutrnis had won more money from her adversary than tho latter’s mines in the Ural had yielded her in twenty years, After the last game, which was for n fabulous sum and which she lost, Mmo, Doura- kine roso from the table nnd said to hor antagonist: “ Madam, I doubt whether my whole fortune will pay what I have lost to yon. I am going to send my man of affairs to yoq. Ho will reckon with you, and will put in your hands tho deeds of niv estates." “ Very well, madam,” replied Mine. Boutrnis; “only don’t believe that I will allow myself to be outdone in good breeding by ono of the most charming players that I have ovor met. I have won; very well. Pormit me to send for a priost nnd a notary. Before tho priest you nro going to swear that you will novor touch cards again in your life. Tho notary will draw up papers by which you will givo me an annuity of 20,000 francs.” Ho said, so done. Countess Doumkino has never played cards sinro that dny, and tho first 20,- 000 francs hns boon paid to Mine, do Boutrnis, who turned the whole sum over to the poor—an original uso to which to put one’s earnings at cards. Mmo. do Boutrnis calls it “ the repara tion of the queen of clubs."—[Paris Letter. I'ltifth Cmtuiiita. Plush is such a favorite among tho lionvv fabrics for wiutor that somo of the imported costumes nnpoar to bo made of it entirely, thougli thorn nre plaitings and rox-ers of satin do Lyon on tho. skirt, nnd tho linings and foun dation nro of silk. Amethyst, bronze, myrtle groen, and garnet are the colors that are most effcctivo in plush. The host qualities nre all silk, with smooth deep pile as heavy ns that of moleskin velvet. Chenille cords as thick as ropos are knotted on tho corsage nnd drapery of such dresses, and the rich bended and gilded passementeries and om- broideries form tho trimmings, tho col lar, cuffs, and sometimes whole tabliers. A basque with trimmed skirt is tho de sign for such eostumos, and tlioso are arranged so dose and clinging tlint they give tho effect of a prinoosso dress; indeed, many aro what is called the de tached princesso dross, tho back of tin basque and skirt being sewed together [lermanently, while the belt of tho skirt is separate in front, and fastened bo- neatli tho basque. The back of tho basque is sharply pointed, and is finished with full plaiting of satin, doubled and interlined to make it stand out in xvliat called mediox’nl plaiting. Instead of a rounded apron the plush is draped in square breadths, wrinkled across the toj and straight below, oponing nt the lower part of tho side seams to disclose the satin de Lyon beneath, and these openings are finished with satin rovers. The back breadths are partly satin, partly plush, and are draped softly nutl full, vot tho drapery is confined to u narrow space that it may not bo seen on the sides. An amethyst plush costume mado in this way with chenille and gilt ropes knotted upon it, and gold om broidered collar and cuffs, is ono of tho handsomest importations of the season Flush morning drosses and matinoos are also among the rich importations, and these nro made in histone styles with Watteau trains over Breton petticoats, and the drooping Modicis oversloevo in funnel shape, with a shirred sloovo beneath of white Hnrali. A pale blue plush relic of this design opens its on tire length to disclose the front of white Surah laid in plaits at the top, xvitl many rows of Aloneon lace ncross the front. A little hood of the lace is at the back. Long matineo sacks of light blue, white, or rose-colored plus] are made to open on shirred Surah fronts, and nro worn with a short slur of tho plush, also trimmed with Alone lace.—[Bazar. fr'nahlou Nolo.

Hogan told, in a public hall, tho ’story of his conversion in Now York. Tho following report of it is from tho “Now Hnven Palladium:" I had made arrangements to make a sparring tour through England, Aus tralia and California, nnd as I wns going up Broadway to see my friend, and my wife was begging me not to go. I wont by tho Park theater, nnd thinking a show was going on I took my wife in to keep her quiet. I thought I xvns in n funny kind of a show where they didn’t sell tickets. When tho singing was go ing on I couldn’t understand the words, but I liked the music, nnd when Mr. Sawyer, a reformed man, began to talk about drinking nnd gambling for fifteen oars I imagined he wns talking about me. I couldn’t sloop that night, and the next night I .heard him at the Bowery chapel nml signed the pledge, and the night nfter I listened to him at the Five Points mission. Tho next morning I got down on my knees nnd I prayed: "Oh, God, forgive mo nnd I’ll' do better in the future. And then I cried and laughed at the same time, nnd I gave my xvifo seventv-five cents and told her to buy a second hand Bible. T ouldn’t rend it, but she rend me some thing from John,‘but 1 couldn’t under stand it. John xx-ns a good feller and Christ xvas a gay man, but I felt that tho book xvasn’t right, and I xx'ont to Mr. Sawyer. Ho says to me: "You're re generated; you’re born again." I couldn’t understand tho first word, but when he said I xvas bom again, I says: 1 guess not; you can’t work mo in that way.” I had some money, and I kept giving it nxx’ny to tramps until they be gan to threaten mo, nnd then I dropped on myself. My sporting frionds wont back on mo, and the Christian people thought I xvas too tough to mean what I said, so I had to sell the joxvelry and things I had to live. The last thing I sold xvas a dress of my xvifo which cost 8400, and I got 8200 for it. My gambling frionds used to meet mo and ask mo if I xvns still on my Christian racket. At first I xvas ashnmed to moot them, but after a xvliilo I liked to moot them and before they could say a xvord I’d preach to them from the word go. Harry Hill hot $600 mv reform xvouldn't last txvo weeks, and in the faro banks in Noxv York they xvero betting 8100 to 8> r »0 that I wouldn't last three dnys. If I xvanted to go back to Pennsylvania I could make from $10,000 to $15,000 a year. Noxv I have a mere nothing, but i live and am happy. I luix'o much to bo ashamed of, and only tell xvliat I have been to show what the religion of Jesus Christ has dono for me. I linx-o been pounding nxvav to learn for txvo years, and noxv, thank God, I enn read the Bible, and I' beliox*o every xvord thero is in it.

A New York firm has received two dxvarf elephants from tho mountains of the Malay peninsula. They nro tho first elephnnts of their spocies ever brought to tho United States, and a gentleman xvho saw them said that ho had visited all of the great zoological exhibitions in Europe nnd had not seen nnything like them. They nre males, and their names are Prince and Sidney. Prince, the larger, is thirty-six indies tall. Sidney is twenty-eight inches in height. They nre supposed to be five and seven years old respectively. They are covered xvitli a thick coat of bristly hair. This groxvth is accounted for by the fact that the elephants lix-e ;far up the mountains, xvhoro the climate is cold. Like ele pliants of largor'growtli,* they keep up a swaying motion, either sidewise or for ward nnd backward.

The'good faith of Regulus, xvho promised to return and bo put to death by the Carthngoniaus if ho xvero unable to effect a peace xvitli Romo, has been imitated by a young Choctaxv xvho xx’us found guilty of murder. Imitated, however, is hardly tho word, inasmuch as in all probability he never heard of Regulus. His sense of honor wns evi dontly inborn and spontaneous. After his sentence to bv shot he xvas allowed to go home and stay until the day of his execution, he giving his parole to be on hand at that interesting ceremony. Tho day before, he appeared in town with his stepfather, xvas measured for his coffin, and gave xvitli apparent un concern the necessary ordors for his burial. But next day, up to within half nn hour for the time fixed for his exe cution, he had not appeared. The one hundred persons present to xvitness the execution began to think themselves balked of their sensation. But some ono xvho knew him said: “ If he is alive he will be here just ns sure as the sun shines.” It xvas noxv xvithin ten minutes of tho time, xvlion the young felloxv xvas seen approaching on li’is pony, and in the presence of his mother nnd his other friends, ho xvas shot by his cousin, xvliom ho had chosen as executioner.

It was supposed that xvlien Japan xvas throxvn open to the outer world it would prove to be a new Eldorado in the mat ter of mineral production. Tradition pointed altogether in this direction.

There has boon hold recently n leather exhibition at the Agricultural hall, London, in which various foreign leathers ns xx'ell as the British homo produeo competed for tho prize. Tho result xvns that tho United States litor- ully boro off tho leather modal. Wo ex port onormous quantities of leather to England, ns also does Australia; leather of tho honvier kind, solo leather, ready tanned. It xx-as found on inquiry that American firms actually bought up polls and hides in the English market, brought thorn over here, tanned them nnd sont them back to England in (lie form of finished leather. All this causes John Bull to rub his eyes, open liisl mouth and belloxv. The Ynnkoos, he found, do more yet. Tho American tanners buy the hides of tho lix-ing ani mals oxported from hero to England, and when the animals nro killed in England tho hides aro brought back hero to be tanned. Tho explana tion given is that Amoricau opera tors xvork on a very largo scalo, xvitli n largo and cheap supply of hemlock, which gix-os groat woiglit, and gix-os it quickly, tho tanner being paid by weight. The Australians have an abundance of hides, and send shiploads of solo leather. As a consoquonco of this fierce competition against txvo con tinents, tho .English tanner finds him self driven to tho xvall. Tho home trade in England is being ruined, tan neries aro being closed, and capitnl re fuses to xvaste itself on a profitless speculation. Even in light leathers, America compotes xvitli the British.
