| LONDON, June 9.-Ihe Times in an editO-
rial article commenting upon the commune
cation recently sent to various powers by
the Spanish Government, says it is hinGed
that the time approaches when the Spanish
Government must be received in the pale of
nations on terms eff equality.
If it be proved that the Carlist Generals
are incapable of keeping the enemy at bay
in Biscay and Navarro, the insurrectiOn is
likely to collapse.
| The limit of Carlist strength on Carlist
ground is pretty well defined, aud when the
National Army resumes operations, it is not
likely to encounter resistance.
These more cheerful prospects Justify the
Spanish Government in making an appeal
to the public opinion OF the world, and
should SenOur maintain himself and estab-
lish de facfo government we know of NO
! reason why it should not be recognized in
the same manner as MacNlahOn's.

What a Blind Man Sees.

Nature struggles hard to make up fer
any defects in the senses, and she gives
to the blind certain power to see when
the eyes give no help. A blind man
says:
Whether within house, in the open
air, whether walking or standing still, l
can tell, though quite blind, when / am
opposite an object, and can perceive
whether it be tall or short, slender or
bulky. can also detect whether it be
a solitary object or continuous fence,
whether it be a close fence or composed
of open rails, and often whether it be a
wooden fence, brick or stone wall, or a
quickest hedge. cannot usually per-
ceive objects if much lower than my
shoulders, but sometimes very low objects
can be detected. This may depend on
the nature of the objects, or of some alb
normal state of the atmosphere. The
currents of air can have nothing to do
with this power, as the state of the wind
does not directly affect it; the sense OF
hearing has nOthidg to do with it, as
when the snow lies thick OH the ground
objects are more distinct, although the
football cannot be heard. l seem to per.
ceive objects through the skin of my
face, and to have the impressions di'
rectly transmitted to the brain. The
only part of my body possessing this
power is my face; this / have ascer
tanned by suitable experiments. Stop
ping my ears does not interfere with it
but covering my face with a thick vel
destroys it altogether. None of the five
senses have anything to do with the ex
istence of this power, and the circum
stances above-named induce me to cal
this unrecognized sense by the name o

Prevention of HydrOphObia.

Dr. William A. Hammond, says a
New York paper, in preparing a paper
OH the subject of the treatment of dogs
with reference to the prevention of hy-
drophObia, which will be presented before
the Neurological Society at its next
meeting. There will also be presented
at the meeting series of resolutions
condemning the practice of muzzling as
cruel and unnecessary. DIR. Hammond
says muzzling dogs is all very well if the
law could only be carried out to its full
extent. The law says that no animal
shall be allowed to 90 through the streets
unmuzzled. But the rowing dogs are
not the ones that ordinarily exhibit symp-
toms of madness. In nine cases out of
ten, in his experience of hydrOphobia,
the originator is some pet hOuse-dOg,
who being inflicted with this madness,
escapes from the house into the streets
(srich being the natural desire of any
dog in that condition), and in his wan
behring's communicates the disease by at
lacking other animals, men, women, and
children. The muzzling ordinance then
house-dogs in its provision. 1t would be
impossible to carry out any such measure
as that. The muzzle, he says, can be
easily supplanted by law compelling
each owner of dog to bave its fangs
filed at a certain age, so that they shall
present blunt extremities. This ex.
pertinent has been tried often, even when
the animal was suffering from hydropho
bia. When the operation has been
performed the dog has been allowed to
bite at the hand of the operator, but il
has been found impossible for the filed
teeth of the dog to break the skin. DIR
Hammond does not think Francis II
Butler died of hydrophobia, and says
genuine cases of that disease are much
rarer than is supposed.

First Pleasures.

Truly, novelty is the spice of life. No
secondary sensations are like the prim-
aries; and habit, in the end, estates
every luxury" Repetition is the thief
of employment, as surely as procrastina-
ton is the thief of time. 1t is with
pleasures as with sparkling wines; you
can have the flashing globules, the rush
ing foam, the rare boquet, but once; cork
up for after use, and the next draught
will be flat and tasteless.
And, Oh middle-aged reader. do you
remember the pride with which you wore
your first watch? 1t was q cheap affair,
always at odds with the correct time !;
and the golden hunting-case that now
rests in your pocket is of the finest work.
manship, richly jeweled. But what a
contrast between the indifference of to-
day and the exultation of boyhood
marks the exhibition of your respective
treasures. The full beard which graces
your maturity fails now utterly to excite
the admiration and emotional anxiety
with which you first regarded the incipi-
ent moustache of twenty years ago; and
which was probably contemporaneous
with your first love. All! that first
love; do you not recall, with a smile
now, as Jack chambers up your knee,
those thrilling moments? Of course
you do; the tide of passion may have
singed and swayed you many times
since, but your memory still retains an
ineflaceable impression of that first bliss.

Writing Music in SHORTHAND.

A scheme of musical shorthand has
been devised by correspondent of the
English Mechanic. Doubtless many per-
sons, he observes, while performing the
tedious and disagreeable task of copying
music, have been struck with the great
desirability of some swifter means OF ex-
pressing the various notes; and that II
they could be written without the stan
and the numerous perplexities OF semi
breves, minims, crotchets, quavers, semi
quavers, demisemi-quavers, Ito say moth
ing of the difficulties presented by sharps,
flats, naturals, clefs, signatures, etc., the
work would be much pleasanter, and be
undertaken with less reluctance than at
present. The musical shorthand pro-
posed is merely photography applied to
music, and is based on Isaac Pittman's
system of photography. The signs used
to represent the notes arc twelve in num-
Der, corresponding to the black and
white keys of the pianoforte; and owing
to the ease with which knowledge OF
them can be acquired, great speed may be
attained by the learner, il being very
simple matter to take down any ordinary
tune while it is being sung or played. "A
song or melody of any kind may be writ
ten with but one-sixth part OF the labor
required in the ordinary way, and IN
about one-tenth part of the usual time.
Very little space is needed to write down
a musical composition in this way, and
vet the. necessary legibility is not sacri-
feed in the slightest degree, the absolute
pitch and relative length Of each note
being truly shown.

The Largest Church I'm America.

Says Richmond correspondent: The
First African Baptist Church in this city
is the largest in the world save Surgeons.
1t numbers 5000. l attended baptism
al occasion when one hundred and
sixty-six were baptized. The ordinance
was becomingly administered there was
no undue haste, and yet the baptisms
were one hundred and twenty-five in an
hour. At the same rate the three thou
sand baptised on the day of Pentecost
could have been baptized by immersion
by the twelve apostles in two hours. The
pastor of this church, the Rev. Mr..
Holmes, is a born leader. He wasa slave
till the close of the war. The church is
not, as / suspected it might be, mob.
1t is thoroughly organized. Ithas thirty
deacons. The discipline is strict II
there is anything that the colored race
delight in, it is the circuses and balls.
But these are strictly prohibited. A short
time ago seventeen of the members en-
gagged in a dance. Whether they danced
round" or square," we did not learn,
neither did the church stop to inquire,
but excluded them at once. The very
next month the whole seventeen came
back full of penitence and promises.
They were restored. The reception OF
members is we'll guarded.

A. II. Stephens on the Sunday.SchOOl.

The Hon. Alexander H. Stephens adj
dressed the teachers and pupils gathered
at recent Sunday-school reunion in
Charlottesville, Ga, and in the course of
his remarks gave the following interest
ing personal "reminiscences: cit is q
source of high qualification to me to say
to you all, and especially to these little
boys, that the first awakening OF such
thoughts in my mind, as well as my first
taste for general reading, was quickened
and brought into active exercise in a
Sunday-school. 1t was at the old Pow
der Creek log meeting house, not five
miles from this place, more than half a
century ago, became pupil in what
was known as a Union Sunday-school."
The day / entered was great epoch
i'm my life. 1t was in the latter part of
the summer that the school was opened
or when / entered it, and though but a
small boy at the time, still l had to do
such work on the farm as / was able to
do during the week. This was picking
cotton or peas, or going to mill or other
light work of like character. 1t was
only mt night, and by pine-kno, light,
that had any opportunity to study the
lessons assigned me, and yet so deeply
did become interested in the questions
of the Union Catechism that o'clock
often found me porting over chapters OF
the Bible set apart for the next Sundays
examination. To the impressions thus
made am indebted in no small degree
for my whole future course in life,
whether it be for good or for evil. II
in the midst of any evil that has marred
that course there is anything good to be
found, or anything worthy of imitation,
then it is due to that Sunday-school and
to that great cause which you to-day
celebrate with inspiring notices, ban
ners and music"

Danger from Lightning.

As experience shows, danger is less in
a crowded town than il village, or in
the open country, and, naturally, the
more elevated structures are the most
liable to be struck. Fuller, indeed, in
his Church History" asserts that there
scarcely ever existed great abbey in
England which had not been, ut one time
or another, wholly or partially destroyed
by lightning, and his citations, taken in
comparison with the records of our own
times, are certainly remarkable. In all
cases it is the spire, the tower and the
dome which has been mutilated. AS to
ordinary habitations, all sorts of theories
are i'm vogue on the subject of danger and
safety. Some rely on thick glass in the
windows, and some on register stoves
Others recommend stone roots instead OF
slate, and others tell timid people that
they should live in hollow. 1t is con.
tended on this side that there should be
the least possible admixture of metal in
the combination of an inhabited struc
ture; and on that, that all the bells be
meath the roof should be kept continu
ally ringing, just as, in obedience to an
old superstition, cannon are fired at sea
The mass of evidence upon this topic
points, however, to the one conclusion al
ready suggested, that o good lightning
conductor is the solitary safeguard, but
that, unless good, is worse than none.

Agricultural Facts and Figures.

Hon. Samuel b. Ruggles, of New York,
a most reliable and labOrious statistician,
at late meeting of the New York
Chamber of Commerce, gave the follow
ind condensed facts relating to the agri-
culture of the United States.
The agriculture of the American Union
is the broad and enduring basis of its
national strength.
It's agricultural population of 1922, 81
in 1870, had created and acquired a
property i'm agricultural wealth valued
at 81 ,i24, 55S,747, showing an average
value of S2,S7S per head, yielding net
income of $3.50.
Every million added to the agricul-
tural population will, consequently, add
at least 81 1878, 100000 to the national
wealth.
The present yearly increase in the pop
ulation being S2,432, an additional
million will be gained every thirteen
years.
These additional millions will be
urgently needed and can be readily sup
piled by Europe from time to time and
from age to age, to enable the American
Union to produce and export the vege-

The interior States north of the Ohio
River, and on the upper lakes and Up,
per Mississippi and Missouri produced
in the year 1870, So, 15l ,925 bushels OF
cereals, weighing more than $1,000, OOC
tons, avoirdupois. BY the close of the
present century, twenty-six years hence
these States will probably produce So
5000 tons.
1t has now become a matter of vita
interest, not only to the American Union
but to the common civilization and wei

Origin Of the FOrget-me.nOt.

The popular tradition which tells how
the name came to be applied to the plant
which now bears it throughout Europe,
is not generally known. 1t is that a
knight and a lady were walking by the
side of the Danube, interchanging vows
of devotion and affection, when the latter
saw on the other side of the stream the
bright blue flowers of the myostis, and
expressed desire for them. The knight,
eager to crafty her, plunged into the
river, and reaching the opposite bank,
gathered bunch OF flowers. On his re-
turn however, the current proved too
strong for him, and after many efforts
to reach the land, he was borne away.
With last effort he flung the fatal bios
som upon the bank, exclaiming, as he
did 20, Forget me not"
