Rlind Mem Eminen, IN Iiieraturs.

In an editorial of decided ability, which
appears in the Richmond Examiner, on the
"Death Of Prescott, The Historian" it is
stated:
"Many of our cotemporaries speak of
Mr.. Prescott as one of the few instances
of a man deprived of his sight in early
life having become eminent in literature.
This, however, is a mistake. From Dio-
dotus, the blind teacher Of Philosophy,
Geometry and Music, who lived half
century before the Christian era, to Sam
uel Willard, an eminent blind divine, now
83 years of age, there have been not less
than 80 blind men distinguished in poll
tics, literature, science, theology and the
mechanical arts. Milton made his name
immortal after the loss of his vision
Sanderson, one of the most eminent Pro-
fessors of Mathematics that Oxford ever
possessed, was born blind. Huber, strange
to say, one of the most eminent writers
on Entomology, was a blind man-and
yet his work on "Bees and Ants' is the
best ever written. Fielding, the great
Police magistrate, was born blind, so was
Metcalf, famous English Engineer and
Surveyor. Augustin Thierry, the histo-
rian Of the Norman Conquest, who died
last year, and who was almost as great a
historian as Prescott, was blind. Indeed.
we might, from an article in the Encyclo-
pedia Brittanica, on eminent blind men,
cite fifty other instances of men who have
attained great emineuce in all the walks
of life who were blind from early child
hood. One of the most attractive and
entertaining books of the day, and one
which may be found in every book store,
is collection of lectures, sketches, &c,
by the Rev. VIM. Fl. Milburn, Method
ist Minister, who lost his sight when q
boy, and who, as an itinerant preacher
has, during the last twelve years. travelled
over 100000 miles in the performance o.
his clerical duties, and who is an eloquen
and learned divine, as well as an able and
entertaining writer"
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1859-09-24
Spanish or Texas Fever.

Various writers have proposed reme-
dies for this disease. A lady in the vi
cinity of West Point claims to have dis
covered remedy which has not failed u,
single instance. We clip the prescrip-
ton from the Bates County (Mo.) Stand
ard:
For full grown animal, take 2 ounces
of bicarbonate of soda, and one pint of
salt; dissolve these in water drench the
animal with It, which in all cases will
give immediate relief; if it should not, re-
peat the dose. The animal should have
free access 10 water, as that is an impor-
tant item in the treatment.
Free water-drinking is probably the
most important part of the treatment.
The St. Joe Journal gives a remedy
communicated to il. by an old gentleman,
who is an extensive stock raiser, and
claims familiarity with the disease, and
that his treatment is successful. 1t is as
follows
Cease to handle the animal, so far as at
tempting to wash the mouth or throat or
to clean off the tongue confne it, as re-
CARDS food, wholly to meal intermixed
with the common salt. The saliva from
this conrse of regimen has proven the
most effective curative of the sore tongue
and throat. Water should be given to
the animal in prudent quantities, instead
of permitting it to drink to excess and at
pleasure.
The journal gives the following as the
first symptoms of the disease
The first indication is an almost total
falling off in milk, leading many to sup-
pose that their COWS had been MIXED be-
fore reaching home. A fever follows, at
tended with sore mouth, tongue and
throat. The teats, 200, become tender
sensitive to the touch, rendering it very
difficult to get the animal to stand to the
pail

"AIl that is good or great in men

A Picture Of Texas.

The following is an extract from let
ter of Bishop Pierce to the New Orleans
Christian Adrocate:
Texas is curious country-a paradox.
Everything is in the speculative, or con-
Trajectory, or marvellous. 1t is the rich
est and the poorest; has the best farming
land and the meanest water; is the hard
est country to live in, and has the most
to live OIL; the days are the hottest and
the nights are the coolest; here are the
most rivers and the least water; the best
roads and the slowest travel the finest
building material, and the least use made
of it; there are more clouds and the least
rain; more plains and less timber; more
ropes to tie horses and more estrays; a
poor country for farming and yet the most
productive; the least work and the largest
yield; the horses are small and the cattle
big; the frogs have horns and the rabbits
have ears like mules; the people are in
telligent without general education; in
ventive, without being tricky; refined,
without mannerism; rich, without money;
hosbitabie without houses; bold, generous
and brave. In fine, here is an empire in
extent and resources, but in the slowest
process of evolution, and yet destined to
wealth, population and power. There is
much TO admire, but little to deplore;
many things to enchant, but few to offend;
and for the people aud their institutions
there is a splendid future.
