A JW-IM» W OMAN KKHTORRD.—
An interesting young woman, twen
ty-two years of age, born stone
blind—partly educated in tlie family
of a clergyman f all this time by lin
gur alphabet*--, as we see blinrl uicii
tracing the letters in «me or two
places in town—blind for twenty
two years, was restored to perfect
vision in four «lays by a surgical
operation, and to partial vision in
two minutes. This young woman
in an instant, having been twenty
two years and from lier birth stone
blind of congenital cataract, began
to see, as those «leaf mutes in Paris
begin to hear for the first time. The
effect in the young woman was most
curious, and something of litis kind :
»She saw everything, but Iber« was
no idea whatever ot perspectiv». She
put her baud in the window to try to
catch the tiens on the other siil« <>t
the street, then in Moorliwltl ; she
tried to touch the ceiling of a high
ward ; she was utterly ignorant also
of common things— e.g. ; what stirb
things as a bunch of keys were, of a
silver watch, or a common cup and
saucer; but when sln> shut her eyes
and was allowed to touch them (the
educated sense), she told them at
once ! She could almost, distinguish
the greasy feel of the silver half
crown from the add, dry, harsh feel
of a copper penny, lier joy was ex
cessive when shown some mignonette
and .sweet pea that one of (lie sin
geons bad accidentally in his coat,
for it seems she knew all the plants
in the clergyman's garden by the
touch and smell ! She looked at the
bunch of keys, and with equal blank
ness at the flowers, then shut her
«yes so as to recognize them. All
this took up less than five pollutes !
Hut she failed to say, as well as I
now remember the case, " these are j
flowers." But on my saying, when j
she opened her eyes again, " Why, i
these are flowers." "Ob! so they !
are," she replied, shutting her eyes
quickly and putting them to her
nos«t, "this is mignonette," &ro.—

The Indian Cotton Traih:.—
Anticipating the possible effect of
the close of the American war upon
the production of cotton in the East
Indies, some of the English journals
are figuring upon the results of the
last four years, and making an
analysis of the conditions essential
to continued success. They state
that the,re was imported by Great
Britain in the last year more than
S00,000,000 lbs. of five labor cotton,
of which about. 500,000,000 was
from India, and 300,000,000 from
Egypt, Turkey and other countries.
The increase of supply from the
British possessions in the east i#
truly remarkable, the receipts from
the three Indian presidencies of
Bombay, Madras ami Bengal having
amounted to 500,000,000 in the year
!8<>4, against only about 58,000,000
in the year 1845, and 200,000,000
lbs. in 1860. Progress has been
stea«ly, therefore, before the war and
sfnCé 1 , under every variety of condi
ttdtt) ' though the great impetus im
parted was within the last four years,
bringing out labor anil capital in
abniidan<;e, n«>t only lor the culture
of the plant, but for the construction
of railways for the purposes of trans
portation. The English manufac
turers are prompted to believe that
while it is not probable the high j
prices for cotton 'realized for some]
time past will continue, prices will j
still range higher than the average j
preceding the year ISM), and that, j
with the improved facilities now en- j
joyed, cotton from the East can be |
grown and brought to market at « '
handsome profit, in defiance of com
petition. While this may be true, ■
the grand fact still remains and can- !
not be controverted, that the choice j
grades of American cotton have no j
rival in the world.
President Lincoln once re- J
marked that he read with great regu
larity the letters of an old friend who
lived on the Pacific coast until be
received a letter of seventy pages of
letter piper, when he broke down and
never read another.

E xecutive M ansion, _ )
Washington, P. €., June 12, 1865. /
Whereat, By nn not of (longress, ap
proved March 3, 18(55, there was estab
lished in the War Department a Mureauof
Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lauds
and to which, in accordance with the said
act of Congress, is committed the super
vision and management of all abandoned
lands, and the control of all subject# re
lating t.o roftigoes: «nd froedmen from re
bel State», of froiu any district of country
within the territory embraced in the oper
ations of the army, under such rules and
regulations as may bo prescribed by the
head oftho bureau nud approved by the
President.; and whtrtas, it appears that the
management of abandoned, lauds, and wub
jecta relating to refugees and frecilincu, as
aforesaid, have been, and still are, by or
ders based on military exigencies, or leg
islation based on previous statutes, partly
in the hands of military odicers disoonneo
ted with Maiil bureau, ami partly in charge
ot officers of the Treasury Department; it
is therefore Oirtewf, That all officers of
the Treasury Department, all military of
ficers, and nil others in the service of the
United States, turnover to the authorised
officers of said bureau all abaudoued lauds
ami property contemplated in said act of
Congress, approved March 3, 1865, estab
lishing the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen
ami Abandoned Lands, that, may now be
under or within their control. They will
ttl«n turn over to such offices all funds
collected liy tux ur otherwise for the bene
fit of refugees or freedmen, or accruing
from abandoned lands or property set
apart for their use, nud will transfer to
them »11 official records connected with the
administration of affairs which pertain to
said bureau.

The following important circular baa
been issued by the Treasury Department
T reasury D epartment,
Offirrofth, C
MTitY D epartment , j
Comptroller of Currency, !•
Washington, D. C. |
The following suggestions are offered
relative to the redemption of mutilated
circulating notes of national banks, and
their return to this office :
First—The notes are to be redeemed by
the banks by which they are respectively
issued, and should not bo returned to this
office in sums less than five hundred dol
lars, or in even multiples of that amount.
Second—Mutilated notes which have
been torn or defaced will be received, when
presented by the bank that issued them,
provided all the fragments are returned
and the engraving or signatures are not
so far obliterated that it cannot be deter
mined by what bank the notes were issued.
Third—Fragments should be redeemed
by banks in full when accompanied by an
affidavit stating the case and manner of
mutilation, and tbut the missing part of
the noto is totally destroyed. The good
character of the affiant should also be fully
vouched for by the officcr before whom the
affidavit is taken.
These affidavits must be forwarded to
this office, with tho fragments to which
they relate, in order that the banks pre
senting such parts of notes may obtain
credit for the same.
T.xceptianal oases may occur in which
un iiffidavit can be obtained, and where no
reasonable doubts can exist in regard to
the entire destruction or irreparable dam
age to missing portions of notes—-as by
fire, acids, etc.—where evidence of identity
is ample by the signature of one or both
officers, or title or locality of the bank,
and the dénomination of the note—where
the integrity of the bill-holder is unexcep
tionable, and where no question could
arise in regard to a fraudulent or improper
use of missing parts : in such instances
judicious discrimination must necessarily
be exercised by the officers of the bank*.
It is, however, advised that such notes
be received at their full face value, a per
fect note given therefor, a record being
preserved of the fact, to be sent to this of
fice with the mutilated note when returned
for redemption by the bank, in which cane
full credit will be allowed in this depart
ment.
Fourth—When no satisfaction can be
obtained in regard to the missing parts,
and a possibility exists that any improper
use can be made of the same, it is recom
mended that a proportionate value only be
allowed, estimating this by comparison of
tho proportion returned to the missing
parts. A record should be kept of the
amount allowed iu all such instances, and
a voucher of the game rendered to this of
fice, when the mutilated note or notes shall
be returned for redemption,
