AN ACCOMPLISHED BLIND MAN-The Jour-
nal de Chatres, (France) gives an account OF
water-mill, in the hamlet of Olsieme, near
Charities, built entirely by blind man, with
out either assistance or advice from any one.
The masonry, carpenters work, roofing, stairs,
paddle-wheel, cogs--in word, all the ma
chinery pertaining to the mill, has been made,
put up, and set in motion by him alone. He
has also, the above journal asserts, made his
own furniture. When the water is low and
does not work, our blind miller becomes a
Joiner, and also turner, on lathe of his own
invention, and so he makes all manner of uten-
sils, and pretty toy windmills for the Juveniles
He lives quite alone sweeps his own room, and
cooks his own dinner. His mother, who has
fifteen children to care for, lives mile off, and
does not trouble her head about "her blind
boy" for he earns his bread now," she says,
land does not want her." In 1852 this blind
miller was rewarded with medal by the agri-
cultural society of the ACCOMPLISHMENT, for a
machine serving the double purpose of winnow-
ing corn and separating the best grains from
the common sort.

The EFFECT OF TEMPERANCE. AT O late
anniv ,rsary of one of the literary societies Of
Yale College, Professor Silliman was called
out by complimentary toast. In the course
of his remarks, the Professor proceeded, for
the benefit of the younger brothers present, to
say how it was that at his age, 81 years, he
enjoyed such excellent health and spirits. He
said that at thirty ne was dyspeptic and feeble.
He cut off determinedly all stimulants, and
had used none since. He dieted one year, and
then returned to his labor. He ate always
plain, nutritious food, and drank nothing bvt
mild, dilutent drink. He eschewed tobacco in
every form. Every morning he used the
sponge and cold water, and felt now no less
power of endurance than when he was young
man, and no abatement of intellectual power

A. BABY ELEPHANT.-One of the female
elephants belonging to Barnum's travelling
menagerie has recently given birth to an infant,
thus disproving the assertions of Button and
Goldsmith that these animals never gestate
while in a state of captivity. Several years
ago similar occurrence took place at the
Geological Garden in London, and soon after
another at the Jardin des Plantes at Paris,
while this is the second instance in this :oun-
try. The New York Sunday Times says the
one in question is perfectly formed, and differs
from its parent only in size, but that difference
is SO amazing that it becomes ludicrous, and
when one sees the baby" walking to and
fro under its mother, the impulse cannot be re-
strained to laugh at the oddity of the CON-
parison. The bulky mothers care of her
" baby is described as extremely human-like
and affeotionate. If an apple for instance, is
given to the latter, the mother takes it in her
trunk, examines it closely, and then, as if sat-
isfed Of its harmlessness, returns it to her in
FAINT to eat The watchful care, the jealous
fondness, the assiduous and untiring attention
of the parent monster, is eminently worthy Of
imitation by many being who makes probes
sisn Of . much greater share of intelligence.
