a Brave and Faithful Official.

Secretary Fish has received letter
from Hon. e. B Washburne, our Min
ister to France, which is characteris-
tic of the man. and, though written
in very modest and matter of fact
style, shows that he has been most
serviceable and creditable represen-
tative Of our great country. Instead
of Following the example of other
foreign ministers and leaving Paris
at the commencement of the siege, be
staid at his post through all the long,
dreary time when the city was shut
out from communication with the
world, and manfully and heroically
protected the interests of his country
men from detriment from the mot
Several attempts were made to in
terfere with the property Of absent
Americans, but an appeal by Mr.
Washburne to the French Govern
ment in eve' instance resulted in an
order to til encroachers to desist,
aud restore everything as they found
it. No American who remained
through the siege suffered harm, ex-
cept one Swager, who lost his life by
a Prussan shell, and two others who
had property destroyed by the same
means. Mr.. Washburne also reports
that very little damage was done to
the property of the people of other
nations, with whose protection be
was charged. Such Zeal and courage
IN the discharge of duty is worthy of
all praise, and proves that diplomat
ic agent may be of real service as
well as for ornament. Mr.. Wash
burnes conduct is in fine contrast
with that of Lord Lyons, the British
Minister, who ran away at the begin
ing of the siege, leaving his country
men to look ont for themselves. Our
Minister is receiving his reward for
his fidelity in the respect which is
shown him by Frenchmen and for
eigners, in the city, and in the COM
mendation of papers in this country
politically hostile to him.
In his letter be bears testimony to
the courage and fortitude with which
the Parisians before the terrible trials
and hardsbips of the siege. Their
conduct, he says. must excite the
wonder and admiration of the world.

W re they not almost invariably vic

fact that the strongest advocates and
staunchest supporters of slavery
were instrumental in its overthrow,
and they the greatest sufferers /? It
il true, however, in this as in every
other instance, the comparatively in

Of the guilty. The fathers had eat

For many years France has been
sinking deeper and deeper into social
corruption. No civilized nation un-
der the sun has been more thorough
y stepped II hidden defilement than
she. 1t is true, she has kept up q
fair outside appearance, and intoxi-
Gated the world with her dazzling
splendor. Clothed in purple and
fine linen she has Jared sumptuously
every day" while her born and un-
born progeny We're being murdered
by tens, nay hundreds, Of thousands.
Let it be remembered that for the
last decade tho population of France
has not increased at all, and why IL
it? 1t is because Of her social crimes
that prevail to such an alarming ex-
tent. Her morality is simply sick
~, sentimental code of ethics, and
religion she has none, comparatively
speaking, either in quantity or quail
lty. Many of her statesmen are in-
iidels, and others have only lifeless,
soulicss faith and how can such a
nation expect to continue in prosper
ity? Says DeQuincy: Religion is,
always has been, and always will be
the great conservative element of
national life"
In conclusion, is it not evident
that in many respects our nation is
blindly following in the footsteps of
giraffe France? What means this

would be before our population would

not time that we were beginning to
these things a little before

Curiosities of Vision.


We presume that most of our read
ers have a general notion Of the
structure and working of the human
eye. They know that the little
sphere, of an inch or so 10 diameter,
which forms the eyc-ball, is a camera,
.ssontiaIiy like the one used by the
photographed 10 throw the Image 81

within the apparatus. The mere
forming of this picture inside the
we ia not, however. seeing. The
picture might as we'll be anywhere
else, if there were not some means
oi making the mind aware of its
existence. The optic nerve answers
this purpose-a branch Of the brain
which enters the eye through a small
hole in the rear, and spreads out in
a delicate network over the surface
whereon the picture is formed The
impression made by the rays of light
upon this network Of nerves, is tele-
graphed to the mind, which then sees
the object, or rather, from seeing It's
image in the eye, comes to recognize
the existence Of the object itself out
side the eye.
If the optic nerve should be.sever-
ed, the picture in the eye might be
az perfect as before, but we would,
nevertheless, DO blind to it. If any
portion of the network of nerves Just
mentioned should be paralyzed, we
would cease to see the part Of the
picture formed on that portion of the
eyes inner surface. If the entire
mage of some small object should
fall upon that insensbe spot, we
could no more see it, even though
looking straight at it, than if we had
no eyes, or kept them shut. Now,
ii is o curious fact that there is such
a "bind spot" in every human eye
and, what is more curious, il is found
to be just whore the optic nerve en-
ters the eye-the very place which
we might suppose would have the
keenest sight Of all.
Here is simple little experiment
by which we can prove the exist
ence of this blind spot ia our eyes.

ALICE CARY's SWEETEST POEM.

Of all the beautiful pictures
That hang on Memory's wall
Is one Of tim old forest.
That seemeth best Of all;
Not for its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the mistletoe;
Not for the yiolets golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk white lilies
That lean from tho fragrant hedge,
Coqueting an day with the sunbeams,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines on the upland
Where the bright red berries rest;
Nor the pink., nor the pale, sweet cowslip.
1t seemeth to me the best.
once had e little brother
With ewes that we're dark and deep
In the lap Of that olden forest
He lieth IN peace asleep;
Light as the down Of the thistle.
Free as the winds that blow.
Neroved there the beautiful Summers,
The Summers Of long ago;
But bis feet on the hills grew weary,
Aud one Of the Autumn ewes
made for my little brother
A bed Of the yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
Ny neck ia meek embrace.
As the light Of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
Aud whom the AFRO VS. OF sunset
Lodged in the troe.tops bright,
lie fell, in his saintlike beauty,
Asleep by the gat,s oflight,
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hang on Mcmorys wall,
The one Of the dim old forest
Seemeth best Of IN.

the paper nearer, it will come into

but with little patience, you can
