Color Blindness.

10 an interesting paper recently laid
before the society of industrial sciences,
at Lyons, France, Profe ssor Fournet
announced that he had, himself, singu-
lar imperfection in the visual organs,
known under the name of Daltonism, and
which is much more common than is
generally supposed. The defect consists
of an erroneous perception of colors, and
is named after DR.. Dalton, celebrated
English physician, who first discovered
the popularity in himself, and found that
cherries and their leaves had, for him,
the same tint. NJ. Fournet knew two
students Of the Ecole des Mines, who
having no clear idea of coors, were unable
to distinguish the various minerals, and one
of them having to use "A carmine ink in
some drawing, used some Indian ink for the
purpose In long treatise, DR.. Patton,
of Lyons, has ranged in the same cate
CORY a large number of shopmen who
were obliged to be dismissed for the sim
pie reason that they could never distin-
gush the various shades of the stuffs
which they had to sell. As this aberra-
ton of sig Int has been the cause of great
errors on railways, the companies sur
geons at present are most particular in
testing on this point the candidates for
employment. DIR. Favre, at Perrache,
stated that the number of applicants
whom he has been obliged to refuse be-
cause they were incapable of distinctly
telling green light from red one was
very considerable.

The Falls of Tallulah.

A correspondent of the Southern Pres
byterian writes of visit to these falls
made after the meeting of the Presby-
terry of Augusta at Gainesville, GA.
"After concluding the business of
Presbytery, and spending precious Sab
bath together, most of the members, es-
pecially those who had come from dis
lance, spent few days in visiting the
falls and other places of interest in the
neighborhood. On Monday, a large
party, consisting of perhaps hundred
persons visited Tallulah. We will not
attempt to describe what so many pens,
and pencils too, have attempted in vain.
The scene is indescribably grand, COM
bining the beautiful, the terrible, and
the sublime. We first descended the
steep sides of the fearful chasm, and
stood by the foaming waters as they went
rushing headlong down, leaping from
rock to rock, into the abyss below
There was an instructive shrinking back,
and yet an impulse to look over the dan
gerous edges of the precipices upon
which We stood at the roaring waters
beneath We thus visited each of the
three main falls, which are respectively
sixty, eighty, and one hundred and TWEEN
ty feet high; then assembled to the top
again, and stood upon projecting rock
which overhangs the immense chasm,
giving full but distant view of the
three falls together. Over against this
point an almost perpendicular wall Of
rock rises, it is said, fifteen hundred feet.
There is something awful in the view
from this point, and few can look with
out feeling of terror into the dreadful
gulf beneath. Here large party gath
cred in the evening, to see the falls by
moonlight; and standing there, impressed
with the grandeur of the scene, sang
under the impulse of feeling, "Before
Jehovah's awful throne;' then 1.-The
beautiful river and finally the grand
old long metre doxology, Praise God
from whom all blessings fow;" while
Tallulah, with her deep monotone joined
in the sacred song, and praised her Gre
ator AT nightfall, the visitors encamp-
ing near the spot assembled for worship,
and the Rev. G. H. CARTRIDGE preached
from Psalm XVII 4" There is river,
the streams whereof shall make glad the
city of God"
