THE BANNER. W3L J. BURNS, Editor & Proprietor.

PLYMOUTH IiD. Thursday Morning, March 30, 1854. LiAilvcrtiscnicnts to insure inser tion, must be handed in by Tuesday preeed i"ff the day of publication. CO" Will the Chicago Journal let us j . ... . .. . know if it received a small remittance from this establishment, some days ecu? that Prompt Arlion. The Washington Union announces a special messenger has been sent by the Government to Madrid, wiih instructions j to our Minister at that Court to demand I I . f .1 niiuicuiait iii'triiiui i lut uic uut iur tuui 1 milt0l upon the Black Warrior, and also to rndravor to procure a change by which this government can hold diplomatic relations directly with the Cuban governmrnt. The tone of the Union indicates that no unnecessarilj delaj will be tolerated in requiring of Spain the rendition of full reparation for past injuries, and such guarantees for the future as will not leave the recent messsg f.f tho President to the House as from the Union's article, that resort will at once ba had to compulsory measures. This prompt action of the administration, says the Detroit Free Fress, is in keeping with the temper of the country. The Americans resident in Cuba could not have felt more indignity when they saw the stars and s'tripes lowered from the Bik Warrior, than evr ry American at home felt when he read of the transaction. And this indignation does not arias from a desire .o possess Cuba; but if often provoked it will lead to the taking of it. Oar Cotfinporarics. We most cheerfully tender to our worthy cotemporaries of the Press, our grateful acknowledgments for their complimentary notices of our efforts lo furnish our liberal patrons with a respcctable and readable paper. We are so well convinced of the sincerity of their friendly greetings that we ore at no lossjto properly appreciate them. Wc are proud of the conviction that there is no fntcrEossessin? a larger Uhare of disinterested n vi ttuaa kj invn abroad. It is not undeserving.

The particular attention of our readers in this township, is referred to the exhibit of receipts and expenditures of the Board of Trustees. The suggestions appended to the report, are well worthy of the consideration of the voters. Every one interested should read them and ponder well, before they reject them. 1 XCW Paper. We are informed that a new paper is about being commenced at Wabash in Wabash county. We hope two papers may be successful at Wabash, but we should fear the consequences, were we interested. 4t is a mistaken notion that so scon as one paper is in a fair way to compensate its publisher for the difficulties he en countered in its establishment, a suffi cient patronage can be spared to build up another. In a large majority of cases where the effort is mad", it results in star vine out both, and the ritizeus are left destitute of any paper it all. . As a general rule, there is not to ex t.eed one hundred out of every three hun dred voters that take and pay for a nw6 paper, and when this number is to be divided in the smaller counties in this State between two papers, it is impossible for them torealizo a sufficient patronage to justify the issue of a respectable sheet and if a poor begging concern is worse than no paper ol ill, whit would two such be?

All the passengers of the ship Robert Kelly arrived safely, and the ship itself, with masts cut away, got off the rocks and towed to Kingston.

The eye is the most delicate, complicated, beautiful and useful piece of mechanism which we can contemplate. It is very delicate, yet perhaps it is the source ormore pleasure and profit to us than any of the other senses. The eye is composed of several coverings inclosing humors, and a lens per brmiug the office of convex lenses. The outer covering is a firm white membrane, and from its hardness

is called 'sclerotica. Its office is to protect' Rhode Island. They are said to be agents and give form to the eye. The muscles which of the noted Bonney, who was under armove the eye are attached to this coat. The J re3t down east last summer. Over fifty cornea as it forms the front part of the eye, persons who had been duped by them apcovcrsthe pupil and iris, and protects them; pearrd at the Police Court againft them.

from injury. This, as it is convex transparent and made fast to the selerotied, very much resembles the crystal of a watch set in its case. The brilliancy of the eye is caused ty the lnjht being reflected from its polished sur ace. The iris, that part which gives color to the eye, is a curtain in front lo regulate the quantity of light ntering the eye. It has a circular opening in the centre called the pupil, thro' wliich the light is admitted only the light which falls upon the pupil is of use in vision. When the pupil is fully expanded, it admits nearly twelve times as much light as when most contracted; there "ore when we go from a strong light to a faint one, we at first im marine that we are in total darkness, until the pupil has time to expand and admit more rays. There is a fluid clear as the purest water, in form of a menisens (or little moon) between the cornea and chrystalline lens, to aid in collecting and transmitting the rays oflight to the lens. This lens brings the rays of light to a focus on the retina and increases their intensity. The vitreous humor is a body resembling melted glass occupying the globe of the eye. This als is in form of a menisens. The inner coat of the eye, called choroid, is covered on the inside with a sabstance resem bling black paint, which absorbs the rays of light alter they teflect upon the retina. The optic nerve is the medium by which the sense of sieht is produced on the brain. This nerve pierces the selerotied and extends over the inner surface of the choroid. It is the seat of vision and called the letina. Although in vision thtre is a distinct image formed upon the retina of each eye, yet as the optic nerve of both unite before they reach the brain, the impression is also united, and but one idea is excited. How r.iuch wisdom and benevolence are manifested in the construction and location of the eye. Without the eye w should be in total ignorance ot most of the bi auti ul and sublime works of creation. We might inhale the fragrance of the rose, but of its delicate hues and soft tints, we should know' nothing. We might wander through the most lovely vales of which earth can boast might climb the mountain's towering height; might listen as the waves of the sea broke upon the beach and yet without the sense of sight, all their beauty, grandear and sublimity would be lost to us, and wandering through the rrost picturesque scenery from the vine-clad vales of the sunny south to the craggy clitftof the frosenzone, would be but a tiresome journey, which could afford us no gratification. Sight may well be called "the most perfect and delightrul of all our senses, and while we are living in the enjoyment of it, we will, with the poet, who was deprived of this great blessing, sing: "So much the rather thou Celestial light shine inward. And thy powers through all The mind irradiate. LILLIE. Plymouth, Indiana. CO-Cosmopolite's favor, next week.
