BREMEN MAILS.
PosT OFFICE DEPARTMENT,

November 81, 1910,
Notice is hereby given that the November, De-
cenber, and January trips from New York, by
southampton to Bremen and back will not be per-
formed by the mail-packets " Washington" and
Hermann" owing to their temporary withdrawal
Tor repair by the propreors of the line, and that in
consequence the postage on letters to Germany
should be prepaid to tho extent of five cents the
single rate, being the United States share of the
postage, and the residue of the postage should be
left unpaid, the better TO enable said letters to be
conveyed by the Cunard steamers, under the postal
treaty with Great Britain.
"closcd mail" however, will be made up and
sent once month from New York to Bremen, to
transport all letters for Germany, on which the
tire postage is unpaid, or on which the postage to
Bremen or to destination in Germany is prepaid.

The Blind Boy. been at Play, Mother.

The Blind Boys beeh at Fi"y' 'ios'
BY ELIZA COOK.
The Blind boys been at play, Mother,
And merry games we had;
We led him on our way, Mother,
And every step was glad
But when we found starry flower,
And praised its varied hue,
A tear came trembling down his eye,
lust like a drop of dew.
We took him 10 the mill, Mother,
Where falling waters made
A rainbow o'er the rill, Mother,
As golden sun-rays played;
Hut when we shouted at the scene,
And hailed the clear blue sky,
He stood quite still upon the bank,
And breathed a long, long sigh
We asked him why he wept, Mother,
Whene'er We found the spots
Where periwinkle crept, Mother,
O'er wild forget me- nots.
:" Ali me ~ he said while tears ran down
AS fast as summer showers,
alt is because cannot see
The sunshine and the flowers"
Oh, that poor, sightless boy, Mother,
Has taught me | am blest,
For can look with JOY, Mother,
On all love the best;
And when see the dancing stream,
And daisies red and white,
III kneel upon the meadow sod,
And thank my God for sight.

M. de Lnmartine.

We have received from Paris (says the Courier
des Etas- Unis of the 10th inst) the following note
al by of the miscellaneous items of the
Courier des Etats Unis, that the southern newspa
pers have attacked NJ. Gaillardet in regard TO what
he wrote you concerning the reports of NJ. dc Lam
artine's insanity If these papers well ad-
vised by their correspondents, they would know
that these reports have circulated every where, and
that they still circulate at Paris. notwithstanding
the uninterrupted publication of tiIe cO.--stsUu "
he People The publication Of this paper, some
persons say, is explained by the fact that NJ de
Lamartine's insanity is not incessant, but that it
is momentary, and consists in attacks Of burning
fever. What has propagated this report, notwith-
standing all the contradictions is that NJ. dc Lam
artine does not appear at the Assembly, and will
not appear there for the winter several journals
have said. II s supposed that there must be Sc
rious motives to explain this retreat, this retire
ment from the world. ] dined four five days
ago at M dc Girardn's, and these reports were the
subject of conversation at the table. Girardin
serted that they not well founded; but on the
other hand, the dinner incident, which had given
birth TO them, revealed by persons Of such high
station that can hardly again have doubt on
the matter. II is represented TO have been iso-
lated attack Of fever and il sufficient perhaps
TO cause Lamartine's family 10 judge that his re-
treat was prudent and necessary. This is how j
reconcile the conflicting afirmatons Of yesterday
and to day. We must be i'll disposed, however, 20
make it a crime in your correspondent TO have re-
ported fact sorrowfully interesting that Was,
and 20 much circulated that various newspapers,
among others the Estqfette, have made allusion
10 it,"
While we arc on the subject Of the great poet,
(says the Courier in continuation we transcribe
an item of correspondence from Constantnople
which ascribes to him projects of repatriation:
"M. Oh. ROLAND, mayor Of Macon, formerly a
member Of the Constituent Assembly, has been for
about three weeks at Constantinoplc. He is said to
be charged with mission by NJ. dc Lamartinc,
whose intention, it is said, is-evcn az n German
newspaper has already announced-to retire to the
east. Since he has been here, NJ ROLAND has had
frequent interviews with the Grand Vizer and the
Minister Of Foreign Affairs lie departs to-day for
Smyrna with Of the principal clerks Of the post
office, Ahmed Efcndi; and, notwithstanding the
mystery which has not ceased TO envelope this ne
gotation, IL is given out positive that the Sultan
yields TO NJ dc Lamartne, by gratuitous title, an
immense extent OF land situated in a fertile plain,
at few hours journey from Smyrna, and forming
part of the estates Of the crown; and that NJ Rol
land departs with Ahmed Effendi TO take possession
of them in tho name of NJ. dc Iamartinc, who will
himself arrive next spring"

Mr.. CLAY, says the New York Tribune
of the 10th instant, obeying the urgent re-
quest of personal friends, came over from
Philadelphia yesterday, and will remain
few days in our city. His visit has no
political objects, and he will studiously
avoid public assemblages, no matter of
what character. Mr. Clay now enjoys
excellent health, and intends to preserve
it unimpaired for the duties and labors of
the coming session of Congress. We are
sure those who value his services in the
Senate will not disapprove nor seek to
thwart his resolution.

LIGHTNING CoNDUcToRs.--An interesting exam
pie of the value Of lightning conductors occurred
at Glogan, in Silesia, in May, 1882. thunder
storm from the west approached the spacious pow
der magazine at Galgnuburg. brilliant flash of
lightning took place, accompanied by such dread
full crash of thunder that the sentinel was supplied
and was for while senseess. Some laborers en-
ployed at the works of the fortress about two hun
dred and fifty PAGES from the magazine, saw the
lightning issue from the cloud, and strike the
point of the conductor This of successful
protection forms remarkable contrast with many
well-known cases in which the most appalling dis
asters have been caused by neglect to furnish
lightning conductors to magazines. In August,
1867, large quantity of gunpowdcr, belonging to
the republic of Venice, had been deposited in the
vaults of the church of st. Nazare, at Brescia.
The tower of the church struck with lightning;
the electric fluid descended to the vaults and explo-
ded above two hundred and seven thousand six hun
dred pounds of gunpowder! Aboutttree housGndper-
sons persisted by this catastrophe, and nearly one
sixth of the fine city of Brescia was destroyed.
Owing to the same want of protection magazine
of four hundred barrels of gunpowder was blown
up in Sumara, in 1852, by electrical discharge;
and at Luxembourg, in 1907, magazine, with
twelve tons of gunpowder, exploded by light
ming and the lower part of the town laid i'll ruins.

act of letter from gentleman of Balti-

Extract of letter from a gentleman of Balh-
more, dated
'PTTsBuRG, (Pa,) Nov. Is, 1919.
"Supposing that you would hear OF dreadful
accident that occurred on the road yesterday morn
ing, avail myself of the first leisure TO inform you
that by the mercy of God we have come 50 far ON
our Journey in safety and health. The stage fol-
lowing the one were in fell over a precipice 50
steep that 1t was impossible for any one to walk
either up or down il, and variously estimated at
from one hundred 10 one hundred and fifty or two
hundred ieet deep, with rapid river (the You
hoghany) flowing at its base Providentially the
coach was caught by tree some fifty or sixty feet
from the top, otherwise, think, all the passengers
must have been killed When we reached them,
by scrambling down on our hands and knees from
bush to bush, we found of the passengers
able to help themselves, but all more or less bruised
and cut; and, after much difficulty, we succeeded
in getting them up to the road, when we were in
formed that there were still two passengers miss
ing--one, quite an old man. a Mr.. Clarke of Gin
cinnati, found i'll the coach totally helpless
and it was much eight or ten men could do to
get him up the bank, owing to its steepness. We
carried him To tavern, which was, fortunately
not more than quarter OF mile off. could not
tell how he injured, but it seemed the general
impression that he could not live The other man,
whose name | did not learn, was found (durina
my absence from the scene,) was told, some fifty
feet below the COACH insensble and scarcely alive
'sIhus probably two persons have lost their lives,
and owing to nothing in the world but the most
gross carelessness or drunkenness of the driver.
He was not drunk after the accident, and do not
know that he before, but know that they all
drank great deal, and the one that drove our coach
had flask in his pocket, and drank three or four
times in the course of eleven miles; and several
times when two coaches came together during the
night they would stop and take drink; and UNI
less he was drunk careless, l cannot see how it
possible for him to drive over the bank as the
coaches all going in slow walk up long
hill, and 1t was not so dark but he could easily have
the road with the least attention. Il was
about five O'Clock in the morning. The only OK
cuse he could make that one of his leaders
must have been taken with fit. There was but
one opinion expressed by the passengers, viz that
II was gross carelessness and several of them de-
clared they would never travel the road again.
