Es- The Daily Old Line of the 9th inst ., again makes allusions and insnuations we'll calculated to keep up feelings of bit terness, when it would seem to be the true policy of every one, as well as the dictate of patriotism, to allay all party teuds.- Under the elegant caption, "Got 'Em, 7" our neighbor proceeds by inuendo to rehe t upon the legislature, and while he is afraid to say so in so many words, it is evident that there is a secret regret that the "cen- tral junto" to which he belongs has not more of the chattels," as he very oifen- sively calls those members of the legisla- ture, who have the independence to vote and act as they please. Not satisfied with general reflections on the legislature, he paiticularizes, and very insultingly inti- mates that the Senate in electing Mir. Woodward enrolling secretary abused their power. This is in keeping with his char acteristic impudence, for we have never seen more dignifed, intelligent and inde- pendent assembly than the present Senate and House of Representatives. We believe and know that whatever they do, will be done for the best interests of the State, and if sense of duty leads them to thwart the pet plans of our neigh bor, let him remem- Der that they are independent men.

 to cultivate their memories, but to fizy that which they have learned, and to adorn. all the beauties of poetry and music, the fnS, points of history. To them the charge is contided of preserving the records of the most important events The annals of the empire, the history of great men, ancient titles of families, are not more enduring and faithful monuments than the nom. ory of these blind students. They communicate their knowledge to each other, and by a sort of traditions, the correctness of which is never dis. puted, hand it down to posterity. They have their general and subordinate officers; enjoy very high considerations and are, perhaps, the only individ. uals among this people whose lives are devoted to literature" The instruction in these institutions was entirely oral; and it was not until the year l7S4, that Valentine Hauy, Frenchman, and brother to the celebrated Abbe Hauy, was led by the following circumstance first to conceive the plan of teaching the blind to read. l |" In an evening walk, M. Hauy's attention was attacted by the sound of music, proceeding from one of those houses of refreshment, 80 common in Europe along the public promenades. Approach. ing the spot he discovered eight or ten blind Der. sons, 'spectacles au nez,' seated behind long desk, which was covered with music books, exe- | cutting in concert, various airs on different instru. tments, much to the amusement of the bystanders. 1 The parade of music books was, of course d mere flrce; but the active and benevolent mind of Hauy converted this otherwise. ridiculous circum- stance into an event, the most important in it's results. The blind thought he, readily distinguish objects by the diversity of their forms; why then may they not distinguish ia from sol or an A from F, if these characters should be rendered papable? To this random thought are the European blind in debted for their ability tc read, and consequent | Improvements Following out the idea, which chance had thus suggested, M. Hauy in short time, | prepared and submitted to the Royal Academy of Science, memoir, in which he proposed and ex- l plained a new plan, which he conceived might be successfully employed in the instruction of the blind. This memoir we'll received; and in consequence an asylum opened The blind mendicants, in the public streets prey to ignor. ance and vice, were by the exertions of the bene. volent, collected and entered as members of this institution. M. Hauy, with the devoted enthusi asm of Howard, sacrificed his entire fortune in their behalf; in fact, the whole life of this dis. tinguished individual, was but one continued &C., tion of benevoence. It is to him alone that the European blind are indebted for the privilege of being able, by the assistance of art, to convert a calamity of nature into blessings to society,"

 MR EDITOR:
 With your permission. propose to prepare for your paper, short series of articles under the above caption. They will embrace a brief his toric sketch of the efforts made in behalf of the blind, in this and other countries; together with such items ot interest as 1 may be able to glean rom documents, now in my possession, or which may be able to obtain. As this subject will he brought before the legislature during the coming session, and that body be called upon to decide, whether the blind of Arkansas shall remain in their present helpless and dependent condition, or whether, like those of the adjoining states, they shall be furnished with the means of becoming useful and happy, it is hoped that anything which will throw light upon this interesting and import. ant question will not be thought out of place.
 In these papers l shall make free use of the words of others, whenever they appear to suit my purpose better than my own; my only object being to benefit that unfortunate class with whom have been more or less intimately connected for the last twenty five years, and with whose sorrows and joys can most sincerely sympathize.

 A friend who left Pope county on th day of the election, says Breckinlidge was carrying that county by heavy majority.
 Pine Bluff gave Bell and Douglas majori- ties over Breckinridge. The probability is that the county will be close.
 A letter from Springfield, Conway coun- ty, says Breckinridge carried that precinct by vote of two to one, and will undoubt. eily carry the county by an overwhelming majority.
 The vote in Benton, Saline county, stands for Bell IT; Breckinridge 84; Doug- las 16.
 A friend writes from Antoine, that Breck- inridge carried that box by ten to one.
 The probability is that Arkansas will give majority of 5 or 5000 for Breckin- ridge and Lane.

HELPER's Book AND ARoLIrroNnM IN NORTH
CARoLISA.-The Raleigh IN, g. Standard Of q
late date says: Judge Dick is indefatigable in
bis efforts to bring the venders and circuators
OF Helpers book to justice. He issued his
warrant to the Sheriff Of Guilford, directing
him to mako search in Randolph, and much
additional evidence was obtained against Dan
lei Worth. The Judge had him brought out
OF jail, examined him, and required him to
give bail in 81, 1000, to answer at the next term
Of Randolph Superior Court for incendiary
preaching and for circulating incendiary doc
uments In that county. Worth was remandsd
to jail in default of security. Among other
things it was proved that at meeting held
by Worth last summer, in Randolph, some
white females had taken some chairs in front
Of his pulpit, and there were some negro wo-
men seated on benches in the rear OF the
pulpit. Before he began to preach he or
dered the white women to give up their chairs
to the "black sisters" which was accordingly
done. 4r . -.

An EXTRAORDINARY JESUIT CHESS PLAYER.
Rev. Mr.. Lamb, in his "History of Chess, I"
published in 1765, gives this account of re-
markable blindfold player of that day:
Sschieri, q Jesuit of Turin, lately dead, had o
most surprising memory. He could play at
chess with three different persons, without
seeing one Of the three boards. His rep.
resentative only telling him every move of the
adversary, Sachieri would direct him what
man to play, and converse with company all
the time. If there happened dispute about
the place of q man, he could repeat every
move made BY both parties from the beginning
OF the game, in order to ascertain the place
where the man ought to stand.

ILLEGIrrMATE CHILDREN IN EUROPE. while
in London the children born out Of wedlock
are only one in twenty, in Paris and Vienna
every third child Is illegitimate; and, In Mu.
nich, years have occurred when the number Of
illegitimate births have outnumbered the
legitimate. No material change, however,
has taken place in this respect throughout
Prussia since the year 1915, the average being
about eight illegitimates in every one hundred
births. In Westphalia, the province of Posen,
and the Rhenish provinces, the proportion of
Legitimate births is only about half as great
as In other parts of the kingdom. In Berlin,
in the year lS49, the proportion was one in
