among the hundreds of that name, to exc
press our convictions of the value of his
philosophizing. -.
The minds Of children ought to be little,
if at all, taxed till the brains development 10
nearly completed, or until the age Of six or
seven years. And will those years be waste
ed or will the future man be more likely
to be deficient in mental power than one
who is differently treatedi Those years
will no, be wasted. The great book of ma
ture is opened to the infants and the child's
prying investigation; and from natures
page may be learned more useful informa-
tion than is contained in all the children's
books that have ever been published. But
even supposing those years TO have been
absolutely lost, which is anything but the
case, will the child be eventually loser

WHITE Paper AND WEAK EYEs.-Those
who are habitually writing, particularly in
tie evening, are familiar with the fact that
the eyes suffer considerably from looking
down on white sheet of paper. hour after
hour. 1t is not uncommon TO have slight
inaammations, together with an apparent
nazincss or me room, when the sirying has
been a long one.
A wise suggestion was circulating awhile
since, that all writing paper, whether foe
correspondence, COMMERCIAL entry -b5sksf
ledgers, or that used by editors and authors
generally, should have blue tinge, because
it would SO much favor vision. 1t was
philosophical intimation, and were those
who are constantly at work with the pen,
careful TO procure paper that is not dead
white, they would avoid the contingencies
that await Them by writing on a light, re.
hecting surface.
Even slight shade of blue, which is the
most agreeable to the eye, is a sufficient
relief to be very perceptible. A clear white
paper reflects all the rays, back upon the
tCuua1 10 tidt way Hlduo hfitdDtca
--and the visual power is consequently de
minished. On the other hand, the iniroduc.
tion of blue or green, or indeed any dark
coloring material, modifies the surface, as
then certain rays are absorbed, instead of
being sent, by reflection, into the interior
of the organ.
The eyes are too precious to be neglect
ed. If any one who happens TO fall upon
these observations, is suffering from any
form of discontinue as the result of oyer
taxing his visual apparatus, will take cara
hereafter to write on paper that is sofiened
by dsrkish shading, in the manufacture,
the relief win be apparent.
+ Were long dissertation given upon ths
ways and wherefores very many have im-
paired their vision, beyond recovery, it
would not be read; but as this statement
embraces all that is necessary to be OBJ
served to preserve The eyes, we hope the
hint may be observed.--Med. World.

Cuba and GEN. Walker.

New Orleans paper asserts that zen. walker
will soon be at the head of force that will com
mand success in Nicaragua, but denies that he has
any designs on Cuba, the rumor Of which, II says,
" has caused very general CONSERVATION ut Mad
rid" But, continues the writer, 50 let Spain sup
press her fears. Gen. Walkers present thoughts
are all given to the regeneration of Central Amer
ica"
1t is not probable, after this assurance, that
Spain will deem it necessary to add TO the rein
forccments of the island, or even increase the
val squadron in that neighborhood, by more than
half dozen ships Of the line, twenty frgates and
fifty coryettes. 1t surprising that journalists in
New Orleans, who live in the neigbborhood and
ought to know, indeed journalists anywhere,
after the experience of former Cuba llibus STEERING,
should talk If future attempts of the kind were
conceivable by anybody but lunatics. That Gen.
Walker is a man of great personal daring and en-
terprise we do not doubt, but if he were Gen.
Scott, with a regular army of ten thousand men,
he could not take Cuba. There is no point in the
whole United States strongly fortified by nature
and art as Havana. and the defences in other parts
of the island of the NEST formidable character.
1t would be far more practicable at this moment, for
Gen Concha, with his large force Of regulars and
strong fleet, to make Il descent upon New Orleans
and empty the whole town into the Mississippi,
than for Gen. Walker or Gen Anybody Else, to take
the city of Havana

II is the opinion of Gen Whitfield, the late dele
gate in Congress, from Kansas, now in the city OF
New York. that there will be no further trouble in
the Territory of Kansas between the United States
authorities and the Free Soil party. Except IN
Lawrence, there had been difficulty in the COL
lettton of from the free State men, who were
SO ready to pay that they were often hunting up
the sherifis. There may be some collisions in DC
tplier, but, on the whole, Kansas is quiet.

quiet. Ifpeope will now keep quiet about Kansas

hope has long ago evaporated in thin air. If Kan
gag will continue quiet, if she will go out of the
newspapers, and let never see her disagreeable
face nor hear her everlasting name again, We shall
be pcrfsctly content.

The New York Herald says that Eli Thayer and
John r. Underwood, of the Homestead Aid and
Free Labor Association for Virginia, have sent an
advertisement to that paper, without enclosing the

and says that if the Hon. Eli and John expect un.
der cover of their free labor speculations, to get
out of the Herald, on credit, they
have mistaken the latitude and longitude of New
York This is rather an unkind cut At the pro
jeators of n scheme which the Herald has hitherto
treated as practicable. What chance is there for

IMPORTANT DRCIsIoy.-The Secretary of the Urea
sury made an important decision, Friday. By the
second section of act Of August s. 1916, the Secre
tary of the Treasury required to refund duties
illegally" paid. Hon. Robert j. Walker decided
that protests were not necessary to make the pay
ments illegal. The Supreme Court. in 1882, in the
case of Lawrene CaEswell, decided protest neces-
sary to constitute illegal payment This decision
was adopted by the department, and cut off claims
to an enormous amount. Mr.. Guthrie afterwards
again changed the ruling, and admitted all claims.
Secretary Cobb now supports the Supreme Court
decision. and holds that no duties are Illegally
paid unless paid under protest. This will again
cut off claims to the amount of many thousand
dollars.
