Blind Men Eminent in Literature.

In an editorial of decided ability, and not
without deep interest, which appears in the
Richmond Examiner on the death of Pres
colt, the Historian, it is stated:
MANY of our contemporaries speak OF Mr..
Prescott as one of the few instances of a man
deprived of his sight in early life having be-
come eminent in literature. This, however,
is mistake. From Diod"tus, the blind
teacher of Philosophy. Geometry and Music.
who lived halfa century before the Christian
era, To Samuel Willard, an eminent blind dl-
vine now eighty-thrcc years of age, there
have been not less than eighty blind men dis
tinguishcd in politics, literature, science, the
ology, and the mechanical arts. Milton
made his name immortal, after the loss OF his
vision. Sandrrs"n, one of the most eminent
! Professors of Mathematics that Oxford ever
possessed. was born blind Huber strange TO
say. one of the most eminent writer's Oh En-
tomology. wasa blind maitland Yet his work
on Bees and Ants" il The best ever written.
Fielding, the great police magistrate, was
born blind. so was Mctcalf, famous Eng
liSh Engineer and Surveyor. .tugustin Thier-
nv, the historian of the Norman Conquest,
who died last year, and who Was almost rs
great a historian ~ Prescott. was blind. In
deed, we might. from an article III the Ency-
cloprdia BRITANNICA on eminent blind men,
cite fifty other instances of men who have at
tanned great cminence in ali the walks OF life,
who were b.ind from early childhood. One
of the most attractive and entertaining books
of the day-and one which may be found in
every BOOKSTORES a collection of lectures,
sketches. &c., by the Rev. VIM ii. Mlburn,
Methodist minister, who lost his sight when
Il bow and who, as an !.incrant preacher,
has, during the last twelve years, travelled
over 300. 900 mile, in the performance of his
clerical duties. and who is an eloquent and
learned divine. ~ well as an able :.nG enter

TILEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ln.-A letter from
Paris hy the last steamer, from prominent
source, states on information received from
Madrid, that it is not probable Mr.. Preston
will be received as United States Minister;
but if he should be received, the first intima,
ton from him relative 10 the purchase OF
Cuba would be- deemed sufficient ground for
giving him his passports. Our government
however is not in receipt Of any official III
formation from Spain on that subject.
1t is stated in well informed circles that
the reinstatement, by Gen. Mram"n. "t Hu-
loag;,, in the presidency of Mexico. was at
the instance of France and England, "hu
have an especial interest in his admInstra-
ton, in connection with the debts due these
governments.
The effect of the vote in the House laying
the Nebraska contested election case on thc
table. is to continue Judge Ferguson in his
seat a. delegate from that Territory.
The impression prevails that the PROPOSE
ton to place money at the command OF the
President to negotiate for the acquisition OF
Cuba will pass the senate, but will be deiea-
ted BY Il large majority in the House"

Taking the Names of Passengers.

Bv recent act Of the President of the
New York and Erie Railroad, the ronduc-
tors are required to ascertain the names of
all the passengers, and make register Of
them in book provided for that purpose
The ab,urdity of the requirement was aptly
illustrated the other day. on the Elmira and
Watkins branch of the road The conductor
coming up To passenger, demanded his
name Jackson WAS the reply. To the
next he put the same intcrrogatory, and was
promptly answered. Charles Moran" The
third gave his name ~ ''lleadIey = but the
fourth. not being quite 30 accommodating, or
surprising that there was some unnecessary
use of his name replied, None of your ID
business" The conductor put the answers
all down, and the last one was as near cor
rect as the three preceding, though there
was kind of bitterness in the tone in which
il was uttered In this way it goes-scarcely
passenger giving his right name to the
conductor. The names thus collected, how
ever are sent on to headquarters with regu-
larity and dispatch; and President Moran,
it i, said, has begun u think that he and his
brother officers have great many namesakes

A SLAYER Destroyed by British Steamer.

The Navy Department is in receipt of adj
vices from Commander Totten, oft the African
squadron, announcing the search seizure and
burning of the brig Rufus Soie, Capt. An
derson, by the steamer Viper. OF the British
squadron, on the same station. One OF the K.
SIS seamen testified that il was said by some
of the crew of the Viper that she was burned
because they had no men to send away in
her, aud that they had orders to burn one out
of every three vessels taken. The scamcn
were landed on the beach at kabcnela.-
Com. Totem had demanded al explanation
ofthe commander of the Viper, who respond
od 10 three categorical questions put by Com.
Totem, as follows:
First Had the vessel the American flag
fying ut the time she was visited by the boat?
Answer. She had the American flag flying:
and from information from the British gov
eminent, dated the Ssh AMI 22i OF July last,
th6rc was every ust cause to heIeve that III
this case fraudulent use oi the iiag was
being made. and that the vessel was engaged
in the slave trade. Consequently, she was
visited.
Second. If her papers We're correct? An
swcr. In my opinion they were Incorrect,
some of them undoubtedly 80.
Third If the American flag WIS still fly
ing when the matches were opened? Answer.
The American ag Was not flying when the
vessels matches were opened. The flag and
the papers were thrown into the sea by the
captain, without even n suggestion on my
part.

probably drove a good business, for Putarch
states that it sold at $500 the pound. They
obtained it from Mediterranean shell called
'Murex,' and hence the modern drug
which however is obtained from guanoj is
called 'Murcxide." The great difficulty has
