What a Blind Man Sees.

Nature struggles hard to make up
for any defects in the senses, and she
gives to the blind certain power to see
when the eyes give nc help. A blind
man says
Whether within house, in the
open air, whether walking or standing
still, I can tell, though quite blind,
when 1 am opposite an object, and can
perceive whether it be tall or short,
slender or bulky. 1 can also detect
whether it be solitary object or a con-
tinuous fence, whether it be a close
fence or composed of open rails, and
often whether it be a wooden fence, a
brick or stone wall, or quickest
hedge. l cannot usually perceive OBJ
jects, if much lower than my shoulders,
but sometimes very low objects can be
detected. This may depend on the ma
ture of the object, or on some abnormal
state of the atmosphere. The currents
of air can have nothing to do with this
power, as the state of the mind does not
directly affect it; the sense of hearing
has nothing to do with it, as when
snow lies thick on the ground objects
are more distinct, although the football
cannot be heard. l seem to perceive
objects through the skin of my face,
and to have the impressions directly
transmitted to the brain. The only
part of my body possessing this power
is my face this I have ascertained by
suitable experiments. Stopping my
ears does not interfere with it, but
covering my face with thick veil
destroys it altogether. None of the
five senses have anything to do with the
existence of this power, and the circum-
stances above named induce me to call
this unrecognized sense by the name of
Facial Perception

False Hair.

The Breton peasant girl, for gaudy
handkerchief or flashy pair of earrings,
is willing to sacrifice her beautiful hair.
Tying his horse to spreading tree, the
hair-monger, armed with formidable
pair of scissors, soon attracts crowd
of village maidens, who, after little
haggling, submit to be sheared like SO
many sheep. After dexterously and
gracefully clipping the locks, he de-
posits them, neatly tied, in his baskets,
and JEANNE is liberated, to be greeted
with shouts and laughter from her COM
panions, for SO we'll has The work been
done that her head has the appearance
of being shaved. Nowhere but in Brit
tany will the girls submit to this whole
sale cropping, insisting upon preserv-
ing few thin locks, at least, CT natures
fairest gifts. In that province, how
ever, where the custom is for women TO
wear hideous, close-ftting caps, hair
which would be the glory of American
ladies is useless, and 1t is there that the
hair merchant reaps his richest harvest.

Mansions of the Departed.

The New York correspondent of the
Boston Journal says /: "Among the
elegant residences at Harlem are two
that attract general notice. Both stand
on Fifth avenue both are large, spa
cious, and elegant The grounds are
expansive and laid out in fine taste re-
gardless of expense. Both are boarded
up and remain in an unfinished state.
Before both, the curious stand and look
intensely on these dwellings,. One of
these houses was erected by Connolly,
the absconding Comptroller; the other
by Genet, the leader of the ring. The
interior of both are fnishedin exquisite
style. Rosewood, satin-wood, box
wood, and black. walnut were used in
abundance. Genet's stable has over it a
banqueting house of matchless beauty.
The walls were run up, the brown-stone
front put on, the towers gilded, the
fresco and inside adornments put on.
And bills, as they accrued, were sent to
the city-hall and charged in the court
house account. Where now are The
owners for whom these fine mansions
were named? Fugitives and vagabonds
in foreign lands. He that gettet,i
riches and not by right, shall leave them
in the midst of his days, and his end
shall be fool.

There was plenty of jealousy, you may be sure,

"Ihat's me, SIR"
Let me see your arm"
It's all right, sir"
"All right, is il In my humble
opinion, it's about as wrong as wrong
can be"
All looked down at the bruised flesh
and broken bones he had affirmed to be
all right" with half-contemptuous
smile, and then, resigning himself to the
inevitable, laid quietly watching the
white hands of the young doctor as be
prepared splints, bandages, etc., and
commenced the work of setting the bone,
now rendered doubly difficult by the
swelling of the bruised flesh.
The light of the setting sun stole into
the room, Illuminating with sudden
glory the bare walls and comfortless
surroundings, and throwing into strong
relief the two figures which gave life to
the picture. The doctors frank, good
humored face, slight, easy figure, and
air of careless good breeding could not
have been out of place under any cir
cumstances but the other seemed
strangely in unison with, and yet in
contradiction to, his surroundings.
His muscular frame might have served
as model for strength and beauty
Hercules in a prison dress His hands,
roughened and hardened by toll, had
been as slender and well-shaped as the
doctors own. His face, bronzed by ex-
posure to all weathers, was still high
bred and refned-aquiline features,
clear, brave eyes, and, above all, the
close cropped hair of a convict. He
had that hair of reserve, totally distinct
from rudeness, which only well-bred
people possess, and which impresses even
the most vulgar and obtuse.
Though the sensitive mouth betrayed
his delicate nervous organization, moth
ing could be more stoical than the COM
posure with which he bore the torture
he was suffering.
"Why on earth, man, don't you say
something. or cry out?" exclaimed the
doctor, half impatiently.
"That's not my way, sir"
Noticing the gathering whiteness
round his patients lips, the doctor has
tily poured something in a glass. and,
bidding him drink it, went quickly on
with his work. After few minutes ST.
lence, he glanced up suddenly.
What's that ?"-pointing to a small
blue figure on the brawny wrist.
"That? o. my crest. I did it when
I was boy" said the man, indiffer-
emily.
"Your crest ?"
Did say that ?"-and flush crept
over his face. 81 must have been
dreaming people do dream sometimes,
don't tiley?''
The doctor did not answer, but, look
ed keenly at him, as he turned away
his head with a short embarrassed
laugh.
g What is your name?"
"No. 411."
81 don't mean that mean your
name" persisted the doctor.
"Jim Brown"
DIR. Harris laughed "Jim Brown
Why don't you say, Bill Scroggins I
One name would suit you about as well
as the other"
AL frowned slightly. "Why should
tell you my name p
"I'm sure / don't know" was the
frank answer; "unless because I want
you to. The crest on your arm is very
like my own. / thought, perhaps, we
were related.
"And if we were? You wouldn',
own me"
"Why not? I am not bad fellow
In my way, neither do / think you are.
