THE BLiND.-Sone oil the pupils of
the New England Institution for the eluca-
ton of The Blind have been on a visit Ia
Washington with their supe rintendent, DR..
). u. HOWE. Last week they made high.
iy interesting exhibition Of their proficiency,
in the Capitol, in the presence OF members
Of Congress and others, assembled TO witness
ii, notice of which is thus taken by a COR
respondent of the lntelligencer
The subject was introduced by DR.. S. G.
Howe, superintendent of the institution
who informed The audience that The educa-
tion of the blind was first attempted in France
about forty years since; that schools were
now established in France, England, Ger
many, etc, and several in our own land that
many men, born blind had acquired a tho
rough knowledge of the sciences, and filled
important stations in the literary world; and
that several in their institutions were as ell
versed in mathematics and some ofthe high
er branches, as the senior classes in our col
leges; thereby showing that blindness, al.
though an obstacle, did not necessarily pre-
vent the requirement of the best education.
He then exhibited 10 the audience several
books printed for the blind, in raised or tan
gible letters, which one OF the children read
with perfect ease, by merely passing the
fingers moderately over the lines.
| On being requested to fad particula:
! chapter and verse in the Testament, she
turned TO the book, chapter, and verse yer,
readily; all OF which was done by The sense
of touch alone.
They were asked questions in arithmetic
geography, &c. with all of which they ap-
peared 10 be perfectly conversant. DR.. III.
NOR med US that they were also acquainted
with the languages, particularly The French,
and requested those who were SO disposed, TO
converse with them in that Ian guage. Alter
going through with general examination
of their requirements, piece of poetry was
pronounced by the young lad, which depict
ed the feelings and conditions of The blind IN
truly sympathetic and touching manner
and this was succeeded by lively and beau
tiful music, the selection OF the children
themselves. was informed by DR.. J. w.
WARREN, who is also connected with this
institution, that nearly all Of their pupils
sixty six in number, were familiar with the
| rules of music, and that most of them prac-
tised both instrumental aud vocal. He also
informed me that many Of them we're SC
much attached TO their books, that, when
slightly indisposed, they often, on retiring,
took their book with them, and cad under
cover of the clothing, with as much ease as
elsewhere. In this respect they have the de-
clded advantage over seeing persons.

MISCELLANY.
THE THREE WISHES.

There was once a man not very rich, who
had pretty woman for his wife. One
winters evening as they sat by the fire, they
talked OF the Happiness Of their neighbors,
who were richer than they. Said The wife :
I'll 1t were in my power 10 have what wish

them was kind enough TO grant me what

ry beautiful lady in their room W no told them:
I'll am fairy ; and promise to grant you
the three first wishes you shall wish; but
take care: after having wished for three
tlangs, will not grant one wish further"
The fairy disappeared and the man and his
vile were much perplexed. ''For my own
part, said the wife ''if it is leil to nv choice,
know very we'll what shall wish for
do not wish yet, but think nothing is so
good as 10 he handsome, rich and to be OF
great quality" But the husband answered:
>" itb all these things one may be sick,
lre'iul, and one may die young: il would be
much wiser TO wish for health, cbeerfulDess,
and long life" "But TO what purpose is
long life with poverty ?" said The wife "t

for setting fire to the Treasury buildings

In the course ofthe trial, the most
clever and celebrated thief. takers have
been examined, and scenes of ingenious
villainy have been disclosed, which has
inspired us with wonder approaching
to admiration. There was beautiful
woman examined, Mrs. Baldwin, TO
prove that she overheard White telling
her husband that he had succeeded in
setting fire to the Treasury. "Where is
your husband ~ asked the Counsel for
the prisoners. She paused for moment
hand beautifully formed, of ivory
whIteness, was passed over her dark
eyes, and then in low voice answered,
che is in the State Prison in New Jer-
sey." And were you not in the State

husband" But were you not confined
there for an Infamous offence ," NO"
"Were you never charged with an iufa-

that she was not compelled to answer
that question. She paused, as if to sum-
mon all her energy. and then lifted her
