THE FUTURE RELATIONS OF SLAVES
AND THEIR OWNERS. The \. Y Times
says that Gen. Hartstutf, at Petersburg,
has begun to experience the danger that
The released slaves misapprehend their po-
sition and duties. Many of them, it
seems, are deluding themselves with the
idea that they are entitled to live with
aud be supported by their former owners,
without being required to labor. Not
ghe least painful feature Of this state of
things come from the fact that these
cmancipated slaves are encouraged by
.morant white men, who have made
themselves apostles of doctrine-which
Is by no means confined to small class

A ssIsnd Woman Restored.

An interesting young woman, twenty
two years of age, born stone blind
partly educated in the family of a clergy
man, all this time by finger alphabets, as
we see blind men tracing the letters in
one or two places in town-blind for
twenty-five years, was restored to perfect
vision in four days by a surgical operation,
and to partial vision in two minutes This
Young woman in an instant having been
twenty-five years and from her birth stone
blind Of congenial cataract, began to see
as those deaf mutes in Paris begin to hear
for the first time The effect on the
young woman was most curious and some
thing OF this kind She saw everything,
but there was no idea whatever OF per-
5pectlve. She put her hand in the win
dow to try and catch the trees on the other
side of the street, then in AIoorfield she
tried to touch the ceiling of a high ward !;
she was utterly ignorant also Of common
things-ery0: what such things as a
bunch of keys were, of a silver watch or
a common cup and saucer but when she
shut her eyes and was allowed to touch
them Nhe educated sense), she told them
at once, She could almost distinguish
the greasy feel Of the silver ball crown
from the cold, dry, harsh feel of copper
penny. Her JOY was excessive when
shown some mignionette and sweet peas
that one of the surgeons had accidentally
in his coat, for il seems she knew all the
plants in tie clergyman's garden by the
touch and smell. She looked at the bunch
of keys, and with equal blankness at
the flowers, then shut her eyes so as to
recognize them. All this took up less
than five minutesi But she failed to say,
as well as l now remember the case,
"these are flowers" But on my saying
when she opened her eyes again, "'Why
these are flowers" - On so they are, .
she replied shutting her eyes quickly and
putting them to her nose. "this is mig
noinette,' etc.-ScieHtfc American.

8 DEPARTURE OF GENERAL SHERMAS's
EsCoRT-The men who composed the
escort of Gen. Sherman in his great
march to the sea, who have been quar-
tered for some time at the Hickory
street barracks, left yesterday for their
homes in Ohio. Previous to starting,
the command, under Lieut. McEvoy,
were drawn up in front of the barracks,
and Gen. Sherman made farewell ad-
dress to them. He advised them, wien
they reached their homes, to do as they
had done while in the army, and they
would always be- respected by all men.
He said they had always acted as gentle
men and efficient soldiers, and he sin
cerely thanked them for their gallantry
and good behavior He hoped they
would always remember the position
they had held and honor il. The Gen
eral then left, amid the hearty cheers
and affectionate adieus of the men.
The command then marched to the Lin.
dell Hotel, and bid good-by to the Gen
erals staff; thence they proceeded to tbs
Terre Haute depot, and got into the
ears, which had been decorated with
flags by the citizens. They left at 4 AZ
yesterday afternoon, with the kind wish
es of their many friends.

incident:
pie One of the clerks, Mr.. John B. Pres
ton, was quite energetic, and would I'M
doubteGly make good fireman. BE,
seeing water Of no avail, undertook to
smother the flames by throwing a
blanket over the barrel which was in
flames; in so doing he got some of the
liquor on his pants, and in moment he
was enyeloped in flames He imme-
diately started to run back toward the
stairs, when, luckily for Mr.. Preston, he
was met by a man bearing a bucket Of
water, which the man threw on him,
thus saving him from being badly
burned, if not from being burned to
death"
