Some of your readers may be curious to
know how the blind read. Books for the blind
are printed in raised character the letters be-
ing large, and all capitals. The pupils read
by the sense of touch. They the fingers
over the words as We would the eye, feel every
letter, spell out the words and connect the
whole with great rapidity. They write with a
pencil, when they write for others to read, as
they could not tell when the ink was out of
their pen, or when it was making mark.
When they write for themselves to read,
they use type in which the figure of the letter
is represented by small points. These points
are pressed through the paper, and make
elevated letter on the opposite side Of the pa
per. OF course, then, that the lines may read

THE PHI TRADE.-Who could dream OF
the magnitude such undertaking as the
manufacture of Purgatiye Pill assumes when
it comes into general use. And how painful
ly do the following numbers speak of the a.
mount of human sickness and suffering, that
little morcel of a remedy goes forth to combat
and subdue. DR.. J. C. Aver OF Lowell, manu-
factures in his laboratory forty gross per diem
of his Cathartic Pills, through all the year.
This is eight boxes 4 minute or one dose a
second. We thus find over 900 persons
swallow this pill every day, or 1885, 600 u
month Physicians, think of that 43, 600 pa
tients day who seek relief fiom the medical
skill of one man. Surely that man should be,
as he is in this case one Of the first intei-
gence and of the highest character. His oc-
cupation entails upon him a fearful RESPONSE
bility for the veal or woe of his fellow man,

Important matters are now pressing Con-
gress, and will be hurried through with a
rush. Congressional tacticians find that OBJ
noxious measures can be crowded through
in the last hours of the session with more
facility than at an earlier period, aud, hence
the most important measures are left for
the hurley-burley of the closing scenes
Tho tariff bill, passed by the House, was
disagreed to by the Senate, and a bill re-
ducing the rates of the present tariff one
fifth adopted in its place. Tho House in
its turn has non-concuned in tho Senate
bill and appointed Committee of Confer
ence. Bills were passed on Thursday ap-
propriating about thirty-fve millions of dol
lars-yiz: Is millions for the army, IL do
for the navy, do for civil service, 2 do for
Notifications and ! for steam mail service.
The corruption cases have all been disposed
Of Gilbert, Matteson and Edwards resign
ed their places, apparently under con-
sciousness of guilt; in the case of Wech
the charges were voted unsustained, and he
keeps his scat. Simonton and Triplett,
the former q reporter of the Times, and the
latter of some other 'very authentic" re-
taller OF Washington news, have been driv-
en- from their seats as reporters and Congress
is thus "purged" of somc of its offending
members.

s THE CANAL CoNTRAcTs-MR. BUcKLAND.
We notice that our Senator, Mr.. BUCK
LAND, has taken ground in favor of the
amendment of the canal contracts of the
Legislature. In an able speech in the
Senate, on Thursday last, he reviewed the
history of "Democratic" spcculations in this
State and under the Federal government,
and showed that these canal contracts were
of from the same old piece of cloth. 1t
was an ingenious game, rcsorted to in an
ticipation of the ascendency of the Repub-
lican party, to secure the Locofoco partisans
continuance Of the spoils, while tho party
itself was out of power The word re-
7ssponsiJility, he construed to mean pecunia-
.ry responsibility; or that the contracting
party should be held pecuniarily responsible
for any failure to execute repairs in man
ner satisfactory to tho State. We have seen
no full report Of his speech, which from what
we hear, must have been decidedly to the
point. So says the Sandusky Register
We understand the speech will be publish
cd in few days, when we shall lay it be-
fore our readers. A sketch of it will be
