All on board, the royal guests and their
distinguished American friends Pronoun-
ced it one OF the most interesting days OF
their lives. One Of the royal visitors
declared they had experienced no day
like il since their arrival on American
soil. Thus the time passed happily,
and at half-past five o'clock the steamer
arrived of The arsenal.
Her return was announced by salutes
Of artillery from various points, aud hund-
reds Of ladies' md gentlemen and children
FASTENED to different points hoping to ob
tain view of the Prince and his suite.
! Crowds were in attendance al the porlico
of the Presidents house the whole after
noon for this purpose. This evening the
dinner By Lord Lyons is in progress. To-
morrow Saturday the Prince and bis
suite will leave as already indicated in

A Singular Case.
We recently heard a remarkable and
touching story of a liIl!e boy, The son OF Ii
gentleman in all adjoining county. His
age is twelve or thirteen. lie is an in
teresling, promising lad One day during
the past winter, he failed TO rise in the
morning as early as usual. At length bis
father went into the room where he lay,
and asked him why he did not get up +!
III said ii geemed dark yet and was wait
ing for daylight His father retired, but
the boy did not make his appearance for
sometimes; he returned and said second
time, "My son, why don't you gel up =
He replied, "Father is it daylight =
Yes, long ago" "Then father" The
little fellow said, IL am blind" And SO
it was. His sight was gone.
In short time his father took him to
Nashville, to get the benefit Of the medi.
cal profession there, but none Of The ply
sicians could do anything for him, and
happily made no experiments on his eyes.
Some ladies' in the family of his fathers
sought to cheer him in his affliction, aud
one night proposed to take him to the oP-
era that be might hear the MUSIC and
singing. He went and was delighted.
In the course OF the performance, all al
once he leaped up, threw his arms around
his fathers neck, and screamed with &C.
stacy, ooh Father, | can zee can
see T. His sight had instantly returned.
And since then he has retained it in full
vigor, except that under excitement there
is sometimes transient dimness division.
The case is one Of remarkable and sim
gular character. PRESBYTERIAN.

u&5~ We.confess tea ealpable inattcntion to the
doingsof our Begislature, finding It a severe tax
Upon our memory to keep the run of its very un-
Interesting proceedings. But with regard TO the
promised action Of that body, provided it. had a
democratic majority, we distinctly remember threat
made by one faction Of democracy to annihilate all
existing banks and threat by the softer side of
that same party to charter no more banks unless
made repealable at the will of the people, and un-
less guarded by individual liability and few other
restrictions each one Of which would amount to a
eager delight the solutions Of the democratic camp
listened to promises which authorised the confident
expectation that rigs were TO be followed by hard
money, and how thousands who rarely say dime
were eheercd by the belief that the new financial
policy would wear out their brooches pockets by the
constant weight and friction of gold and silver
But how have these promises been redeemed p
The Union and Planters Banks have been recharter-
cd without the repcalable clause, and without in
dvduhl liability, aud with the right to establish
six branches each, and four new hanks have been
chartered equally free from these restrictive clauses
Now we ask the deluled, cheated, humbugged peo-
PIE what they have gained by sending to the Legis!
la,ure a set of men who promised what they never
intended to PERFORM when they were told by
sensible and honest men that Banks are indspensi.
bic to the extended commercial operations of vast

party had no idea of complying with their promise
10 put down banks and establish hard money
