A set-to Retwoen blind men.

The following good story is told by the 10
cap' of the Courier des Etats Unis:-
A few days since a poor blind man, having
on his hat placard stating his infirmity, and
carrying box with confectionery, stood on
the corner of Broadway and Rector street. AT
the same time another blind man with the
words, II am blind" on his hat, was coming
down the street in another direction. A little
case containing cakes and confectionery hung
suspended from his neck. Suddenly cry OF
distress arrested the passers by, and turning
they beheld the two blind men on the gronnd,
struggling in mixture of candies, cakes and
bonbons. To add 20 the confusion, the two
men, exasperated at the disaster, were hurting
at each other epithets more forcible than po-
lite and had it not been for the interference OF
some gentlemen, they would have come TO
blows. You blockhead," said one, "why
didn't you look out for your feetT "And
you why didn't you get out OF my way f"-
How could l, when / am blind?' "You
blind $50 am / p In short, this explanation
was followed by a good understanding be-
tween the two parties, and the good under
standing by touching recognition. What is

And the two companions in misfortune warm

The men were natives of Ireland--had come
together to America-and were companions
in arms in Mexico. One had lost his sight by
a wound, and the other by an explosion in d
mine. They had been separated for long
while, and after the lapse of years met in the
singular manner above related.

want of 6 SCbeelx.,

In an amusing little sketch of French
mans visit to London published several years
since, the disadvantages of over-politeness are
forcibly described The Frenchman complains
that he was treated with marked incivility in
the London shops, though he politely lifted
his hat on entering, and made repeated bows
in his best manner TO the people behind the
counter. Again, on calling with letter of in
PRODUCTION to a nobleman's mansion, he def
erentially gave single rap at the door, and
bowed low to the powdered lackey who made
his appearance after long delay. But his let
ter was rudely tossed back to him, and the
street door slammed in his face. An English
friend, of course puts to rights, and explains
to the discomftted foreigner that an air of de-
cision and tone of authority wake a favora-
BILE impression on English tradesmen, and that
a determined rap at the door, followed by a
scrupulous avoidance to all approach to po-
liteness checks any lurking impertinence in
the breast of British flunkey. We suspect,
indeed, that the majority of Englishmen meas
ure a man by his own standard. They take
you, as it were, at your word, and do not think
highly of you unless you seem to think highly
Of yourself Insolent swagger and selfcon-
ceit will not, of course, go down, but certain
flavor of sober self-esteem has a wonderful eff
feet upon the public. If you are deferential,
it is possible that stranger will condemn you
as humbug. fyou are retiring and modest,
many will consider you effeminate and sneak
ing. One maxim is usually safe one In
asking a question, avoid timid hesitation of
manner, and speak as if a clause in recent
act of Parliament had invested you with some
special prerogative, otherwise you will proba-
bly, get rude answer, or none at all The
tradesman will nervously lock his till the po-
liceman will eye you suspiciously the railway
porter will pretend not to hear you, or take
you for q third-class passenger.

Enormous Capture OF whales,

On Tuesday, the 9Th instant large shoal
of "caaing" whales were seen approaching the
land in the direction of Whiteness. The wei
come news soon spread, and boats were quick
ly manned by brave men of all classes, fully
equipped with harpoons, lances, ETC., to do
battle with these monsters of the deep I'm
daunted by want of success and the inclemen-
cy of the weather, after considerable delay, the
men succeed in bringing the pack into the Voc
of Weisdale. When they got into shallow and
muddy water, their assailants finding some
difficulty in landing them, and no doubt wish
ing to enjoy the whole instead of two-thirds
of the proceeds of their capture, commenced to
attack them at sea. The boats being numer-
Gus, the whales close together, and, it is un-
necessary to add, the men most dexterous in
the use of the various instruments of death, in a
short time the whole pack was, with few excep-
tions, either killed or wounded. After being
killed, the animals were generally tossed
ashore, but many escaped wounded from their
captors, and, dying from their wounds, sank,
After lapse of twenty-four hours their carca-
ses re-appeared on the surface, and. being
picked up, were landed at places most conven-
lent for the captors. Owing to the great num-
Der of places at which they are landed, and
the great distances they are from each other, il
is impossible as yet to say the exact number
captured. Some reports fix it at about 500
others at 200 but probably 800 or 400 is more
correct In the affray several boats were stove
in, and others we're completely smashed anC
their crews thrown into the sea; but, fortu
nately, all the men were rescued Immediately
and nothing serious was the result. The new
of this large capture of whales created consid
cradle excitement in Lerwick, and OH Saturday
several gentlemen proceeded to Weisdale, SOM
on business and others on pleasure, amongs
whom were some gallant riflemen, who haC
determined to try the effect of their Enfield
balls on the monsters of the deep, but Wer
unfortunately too late.-Sh hetLand Adgertiser

Then casting his eye around, scrutinizing

A few moments more of silence, and he
broke out:
"Well like the looks of things here. be.

I.ncIr.InU Cured.

The following remarkable case of the cure
of lock,jaw is related by the Italian Medical
Gazette of Milan. A hair-dresser of that city
accidently received a cut with a scythe on the
palm of his left hand, near the wrist. This
occurred about the beginning of March, 1861 ;
the wound healed in six days, and it was not
until the Both following that on rising from
his bed, he felt some difficulty in opening his
mouth, beside contraction in his left land,
which he could not stretch out, and pains in
the right hip and thigh. During the first days,
these phenomena disappeared on going to bed,
but commenced again as soon as he rose and
exposed himself to the open air. On the 10th
of April, the symptoms becoming more intense,
he was taken to the hospital. On the follow
ing day spasmodic contraction of the lower
jaw, and rigidity in those of the neck were
observed the left hand experienced contrac-
ton every time it was taken from under the
bed clothes, and the pain on the right side
continued the pulse was very slightly agitated.
Sixteen ounces of chloride of barytes, dissolv-
ed in pound of distilled water, were prescrib-
ed, to be taken in the course of twenty-four
hours. This treatment was continued until
the 21st, when the symptoms of lock-ja hay
ing nearly entirely disappeared the dose was
reduced to eight grains day, and the remedy
entirely left off on the Goth; two days later the
patient left the hospital in perfect health.

Curious NIIrrOr.

Among the curiosities exhibited in the late
Paris Exposition, and promised for OURS was
a huge cOncave mirror, the instrument of a
startling species Of optical magic On stand
ing close to the mirror, and looking into it,
it presents nothing but a magnifcently mon
strous dissection of your own physiognomy.
On retiring little, say couple OBJECT, it gives
your own face and figure in true proportion,
but reversed, the head downwards, Most of
the spectators, ignorant of anything else, OBJ
serve these two effects, and pass on. But retire
still further standing at the distance of five or
six feet from the mirror, and behold, you see
yourself, not a reflection-it does not strike
you as refection-but your Yeritable self,
standing in the middle, part between you and
the mirror. The effect is almost appalling from
the idea ii suggests of something supernatural;
so startling, in fact that men of the strongest
nerves will shrink involuntarily at the first
view. If you raise your cane to thrust at your
other self, you will see it pass cnean through
the body and appear on the other side, the fig
ure thrusting at you at the same instant. The
artist who first succeeded in finishing a mir
ror of this description brought it to one of the
French kings-if we recollect Alright, it was
Louis XV-placed his Majesty on the right
spot, and bade him draw his sword and thrust
at the figure he saw. The king did so but
seeing the point of sword directed at his own
breast threw down his weapon and ran away.
The practical joke cost the inventor the King S
patronage and favor; his Majesty being after
wards so ashamed of his own cowardice, that
he could never again look at the mirror or its
owner-Ela1Lish Paper.
