fast an earthquake travels. At Mimous-
HI, when the !s..s earthquake was made
known 20 the operator there. he at once
asked the Quebec man how he felt. The
shock having arrived just as the latter
was about answer, it caused him to
change his mind and ask the Montreal
man, two hundred miles further on,
whether no had felt it. The latter had just
time to say ''no, when the office was
shaken to its foundation.

II was serious and sensible warning
that Garfield, the member Of Congress

sentatiyes last week. lie told them that
the whole Northwest-down even as far ms
the Arkansas river--was in favor OF n
liberal tariff and did not like 10 DO taxed
Tor II few mill-owners or monopolists of
any kind, and that they agreed much more
nearly with the democrats than with the
high tariff radicals. He spoke of them as
being in state of mind SO little doubtful
that if the present party in pow

as 70 the tariff, the Northwest asa body
would certainly make common cause with
the Democrats. Congress will cit quietly
under spouters about polygamy, or some
other subj ect that gives them al excuse for
not doing their duty as to affairs of the
greatest importance. The members are
chiefly men who have depended upon coarse

EDUCATION or THE BLIND.

The subject of introducing uniform
alphabet for the use of the blind, is being
extensively agitaicd.
Dr. T. y. Armitagc, of London, n retired
physician, himself nearly blind, and who,
therefore, doubtless takes stronger inter-
io,t in the subject is active In this enter
spri.e, which is Of more importance than
Knight at fret appear.
In different schools for educating the
bblnd, different forms of raised letters are
used. The pupils become familiar
with one form of the alphabet, and read
with facility ut tho tips Of their
fingers the books which are printed in
that character. They meet afterwards with
hooks printed for the blind in II different
character, which is used in another institu-
tion, and are unable to read tit seems
70 them to be another language.
What is desirablc is, that the best form
of alphabet should, after careful inquiry
and examination, be agreed upon, and then
introduced into all the schools for the edu-
cation Of the blind, sothat every pupil shall
Boz able to read with ease any book printed
for the use Of the blind in II language with
which he i, acquainted. The object of DR.
hrmiiage is benevolent one, and We hope
will receive such aid ~ can be given by
suggestions from the experienced and in
ccnious in this country.

done so, not because we dislike him, but be-
cause we fear him. He is man Of extra

that Union City is going earnestly to work
in the matter. The merits and advantages
of the road have never been presented to
our people; in fact to all practical pur-
poses they have been in Ignorance OF the
real design of the managers of the enter

We verify believe, that of tho many
railroad lines connecting ut Union City,
none afford superior advantages to the
Brownsville IL Ohio road
The country troverscd by the road
South of [ Mon City, is not surpassed, in
fertility, by any section of our state. The
connections at Brownsville, Moscow, and
Holly Springs, give easy access to all i'm
portant cities, and sections of the country
Fast and South.

the success of which will so materially
benefit our whole country, be allowed to
90 bv default we are within ten miles of
Troy-thc county seat of Obion, and, on
the success of this road depends the future
| advancement of that town, with whose in
terests our entire county is identified. As

| doubt, aud Union City and Troy, both
| being IN the line marked out-by the char
ter, Their" can be no grounds for the local
| iealousic, that have divided and embar-
raised the railroad projects that have
heretofore been pre.ented to our people.
The time has now comc--if it never en-
istcd-whcn the people Of Union City and
| Troy should unite, as one man to secure
the success of this important scheme. No
rational man can doubt the utility-not 10
say necessity -of the road, and argument
to show this, is purely work of supcrero-
cation.
70 the good people South of us, who are
labOrng in this great cause, we send
| greetings. The corporate authorities of
Union City, awake to the Importance of
the undertaking, propose testing the sense
of our people on The 10th of April on the
question of taking stock in the road, and
being fully acquainted with the ,pirit Of
enterprise prevailing among our citizens
we feel authorized to say that the required
sum will be- chccriully voted.
