Our Lady of Lourdes.

A volume has lately appeared in French Civ
ing IL detailed account of an appariton of the
Blessed Virgin near Lourtcs, in the Pyrcnees
and of numerous miraculous cures connect ed
with it. 1t is written by Il French literary
man, in gratitude for his own Instantaneous
cure from an affection of the ewes which was
RAPIDLY threatening to become total blindness.
He has taken the pains to examine personally
all the ind viduals whose eases he quotes and
the result is Il mass of evidence which is Great
ing q profound sensation in Catholic France.
The simple facts are these On the Ilth of
February 1858 an humble Ignorant peasant
child named Bernadettc Soubirous, being sent
by her PARENTS together with two connanions
to fetch some dead wood by n mountain stream
close to a rrotto known in the country by the
name of s'fhe Grotto of MassabieIle suddenly
saw in an inaccessible place an apnartion

West Point Annir.s.

Gen. o. 0. Howard has written an
encouraging letter to the young color
ed cadet at West Point exhorting him
not to resign, but to endure manfully
the insults of mean-spirited cadets who
are attempting by insult and persecu-
ton to drive him from his place. Young
men who are willing to take education
and life positions as a gift from the gov
ernment must consent to receive them
on the terms the nationis willing to be-
stow them. AS the government no lon
ger makes distinctions on account of col
or, recipients of its favor must consent
to govern themselves accordingly.
We cannot believe that the letter OF
Gen. Howard will elicit from among
the braver and nobler spiri ted young
men among the cadets ONE express
sion of support and protect on. West
Point needs regeneration on the ques'
ton, and if it do not come from within
it must from without, 1t has been q

A AWELsn CLERGYMAN's EXPERIENCE
At A HOTEL a recent meeting ofthe
British and Irish Home Mission the
Rev. DR.. Price gave long and inter
esting account of his visit to the United
States, in the course OF which he gave
the following incident of his travels, as
illustrative OF the Anne rican style of
treating ministers:
Stopping on one occasion at a juno
ton, he went to the hotel close by, and
had an excellent dinner. Afterwards,
going into the clerks Office, he entered
his name, Thos. Price, Baptist minis
ter, Aberdare.',
81 guess you are minister" said
the clerk.
81 guess so, too said he.
SWELL" he says, "you have only one
half to pay. The dinner is eighty cents
if You pay forty you get free of the 9TH
er forty,
"On what principle is that7" said he.
The clerk replied, 1--WE give fifty per
cent. off to ministers and editors"
Indeed," said he, IL happen to be
an editor, too"
"Editor of WHAT"
"Of Seren Cymru."
"Don't know the paper" said the
clerk.
"Where is it published"
ain Wales" ...
II don't know it, but you are an ed =

"Yes, | am"

By the aid of a microscope it is seen
that blood consists ofminute round bod
les floating in an opaline liquid; these
are termed corpuscules. They arc so
very small that one cubic iLch of
blood contains no less than eight hun
dred million corpuscules. Blood is
rather heavier than water, as is seen
when a drop is let fall into the transpar-
ent liquid; it falls through it. In about
fifteen minutes after blood is drawn
from the body it ceases to be fluid, and
becomes a gelatin Gus mass After
standing for about twenty four hours 1t
separates into two distinct parts-one
watery fluid, which is called erum; the
other, solidfed mass, coagul um. The
red color of blood is due to subs tance
called hematine, which exists in the cor
puscles. The coagulum consists in the
main OF body called fibrin--fesh pro-
ducer-masked by the color of the hem
atine This fbrin differs but little
from the nature of the white of egg.
The blood ful6lls every Office in the
body by restoring and building it up
Certain matters are eliminated from the
blood to produce hair, nails, skin, fat,
muscle, bone, brain, &c. 1t is there
fore obvious that the blood must be Of
a complex nature. AS single fluid it
contains more known elements than any
other known natural body; among 9th
ers may be mentioned phosphorus, lime,
magnesia, iron, sulphur, soda, chlorine,
potass, etc. In its natural condition it
contains fat and sugar. The average
composition of blood indicates that in

Dlckens,r Homo at Gad.s lam.

BAcke1S's hOAne 8t OaO'S hhAAAs
The spot is one of the loyeliest in
Kent, aud must always be remembered
as the last residence of Charles Dick
ems. He used to declare his firm be-
lief that Shakespeare was specially fond
of Kent, and that the poet chose Gad's
Hill and Rochester for the scenery Of
his plays from intimate personal knowl-
edge of their localities. He said he had
no manner of doubt hut that one of
Shakespeare's haunts was the old inn at
Rochester, and that this conviction
came forcibly upon him one night as he
was walking that way, and discovered
Charles's Vain over the chimney just
as Shakespeare had described it, in
words put into the mouth of the carrier
in King Henry the Fourth. There is
no prettier place than Gad's Hill in all
England for the earliest and latest fow-
ers, and Dickens chose it, when he had
arrived at the fulness of his fame and
prosperity, as the home in which he
most wished to spend the remainder of
his days. When boy, he would Of
ten pass the house with his father, and
frequently said to him, "lfever have
adwelling of my own, Gad's Hill Place
is the house mean to buy" In that
beautiful retreat he has for many years
been accustomed to welcome his friends,
and find relaxation from the crowded
life of London On the lawn playing
at bowls, in the Swiss summer-bouse
charmiDgly shaded by green leaves, he
always seemed the best part Of summer,
beautiful as the season is in the delight
full region in which he lived. In a let
ter written not long ago to friend in
America be thus described his home: -
"Diyers birds sing here all day, and
the nightingales all night. The place
is lovely, and in perfect order have
put five mirrors in the Swiss chalet
(where l write), and they reflect and re.
fract, in all kinds of ways, the leaves
that are quivering at the windows, and
the great fields of waving corn, and the
sail-dotted river. My room is up
among the branches of the treesi and
the birds and butterflies fly in and out,
and the green branches shoot in at the
open windows, and the lights and shad-
ows Of the clouds come and 90 with the
rest of the company. The scent of the
flowers, and indeed of everything that
is growing for miles and miles, is most
delicious"
There he could be most thoroughly
enjoyed, for he never seemed so cheer
fully at home anywhere else. At his
own table, surrounded by his family,
and a few guests, old acquaintances
from town,-among them sometimes
Forster, Carlyle, Reade, Collins, Lay
