Dickens and the Blind Children.

The st. Nicholas says: Talking of the
pretty school II istrtsS reminds me OF some
thing | heard her telling her boys and
girls, one day, when they were seated
about her on the willow Stumps rs usual
She said: Do you remember General :
--t, my dear. who once visited Is in
the school rooms?' go yes! cried the
children. "Well, when he took tea with
me on that afternoon, he harper ed To say
that his boy had Just been reading the
"Old Curiosity shop" with great de ight-
Now, AS | knew that the Generals only
son was blind, 1 was not Il little puzzled.
Probably General st read nv feel
ings in my face, for he added: Did you
never hear of Charles Dickens visit to the
blind asylum where Benny was taught?
He talked with the children, and became
50 very much interested in them that ne
drcided.to have an edition of The Old
Curiosity Shop, printed in raised letters
for their use Bless their hearts! hey
shall find little Nell in the dark! he SAID
all aglow. And, so, IN time, my boy was
bending over the story, as happy 4 little
fellow us one could wish to see Did he
read 1t easily? l asked. 90, YES, quite
SO! SAID the general, chccrtully. The
letters, white as the rest of the page, are
raised. and are about AN eighth of an inch
long. Benny runs his fingers along the
lines one 10y one, and understands every
word. You would think he had ewes in
his finger tips. The sense of feeling i

now, said one Of the boys, when the
school-mistress fnishe the story,"And So
do I." said four of the children.

VIVA, is the Best lightning Rod :?

A commission appointed by the
French government TO consider this sub
iect. concludes that square iron rods
flfty-nine hundredths of all inch square,
and several hundred feet in length, are
perfectly competent to convey lightning
discharges OF the usual nature to the
ground; and that copper conductors OF
the same section are still better than
iron, on account of the superior conduct
ing power of copper. A copper
rod through which is discharged
large battery Of Leyden jars,
which are charged to their ut
most capacity can be held in the hand
while the discharge leaps to 1t and then
passes through it 70 the ground. Inc
BODY in this case is poor conductor com
pared with the rod, and remains unaffect-
ed, like the building which is thoroug hly
protected by lightning rod. Having
decided upon the size of our rod, ques-
tons arise rs to its insulation To speak
in general terms, the better The insuls-
ton the better the protection. Glass
insulators of any form are sufficient.
Even the wood of the house itself Is
sometimes USED; but this insulation can
not be depended on. The point most
often overlooked is proper connection
with the various bell-ropes and metallic
pipes which run through our buildings,
and with other metallic masses. The
lightning flash descending the lightning
rod often chooses to leap to some
neighboring metallic pipe or wire,
through intervening partitions of wood
or stone, before it seeks the ground.
Surprising that our lightning conduc-
tor is of sufficient section, and is connect
ed with all out-laying metallic masses OF
large extent, how many projecting rods
should we have. and how high should
they rise above the highest point of the
building? 1t Is recommended by the
French commission which we have al
ready quoted, and also by commission
appointed by the United STATES govern
ment to INQUIRE into the protection Of
powder.magazines, that the height of
the point Of a lightning-rOd above the
highest point of a building to be protected
sh0uld be from nine and eight tenths
feet to sixteen and four tenths, according
to circumstances, and that it is almost al
ways better to increase the number ofthe
rods, keeping within these limits, and to
ioin them ali together by common con-
ductor, than to increase the height of any
one point In reference to the best con-
ncction of lightning-rods with the
ground, the opinion is unanimous that
the termination should be in moist
ground, or with system OF water-plpeS.
1t is necessary to reach what is called the
subterranean sheet of water, that Is, the
supplier of various water courses, wells,
and springs; in short, the vast area of
good conducting earth, beneath sandy
and rocky tracts, which are poor con-
dsctors Prof. John 1rotrbr'dqe o."

GOLD TENNESSEE.
New and Important Discoveries.


A correspondent of the Co'rier-Jour-
nat. writing from GAINESVILLE, Tenn,
SAYS: The discovery Of gold in this
State along the Little Tennessee river,
between McGhec's ferry and its mouth,
has created no little excitement in East
Tennessee. Nearly fifty years ago DR..
Troost. Professor of Chemistry and Min
eraogy in the University OF Nashville,
published letter descriptive of the min
rralogv of East Tennessee and of the
gold regions of that section OF this
State. This gentleman believed
mt that time that the Ten
nessee Ophir contained more gold than
the African Ophir. He described the
gold region US lying 10 or l. miles south
of the TeiCo plains near the Unika Noun
tains in the Cherokee Indian settlement,
He stated that the gold occurs in small
grains, generally called gold dust, and is
obtained by the washing of = stratum Of
10 or II inches of soil. 1t does not ap-
pear to be brought from a distance, but to
be produced by the disintegratiOn of the
rock of which those mountains are COM
posed, as it Is found not only in the small
rivulets or brooks, but also on the
decliyites of the mountains and OH their
very SUBMITS In speaking of the
geological formation OF the country, he
SAYS: These rocks belong to the series
of transition, or rather to the clay slate
formation. This slate has been filled
with tubes Of iron pyrites, which are now
nearly in state of decomposition, lcav-
ing the cavities filled with yellow ochrc:
These pyrltcs are often auriferous, and
the gold not being susceptible Of decomp-
o~ition remains unaItered and is dissent
mated through the soil by the disintegra-
tiun of the rock, the lighter particles
of which are carried away by the
rains, leaving the heavier ones still
remaining" Who knows but the
recent discoveries made may prove
to be source of ineXhaustible wealth to
the people of East Tennessee? 1t is a
well known fact that in every part of the
world the transition formation, which APP
pears so frequently IN Tennessee, abounds
IN rich mines of various descriptions.
Since the recent war developments of
minerals of all sorts have been constantly
seen. and the addition of gold discoveries
to the almost innumerable sources of
mineral wealth to that section
will mark it as not only the
Italy of America, but almost equal
As n mining region to the mines of Lead
Hill, and Winlockhead, the gold mines
o, Nonspotoch, in Pennsylvania, ard the
celebrated lead mines, rich in silver, of
Brittany, in France. DR.. Troost in mem
tioning the mineral resources of Tennes-
see. SAYS: This rich metallic formation
Is found to commence about Sparta, and
TO continue beyond its limits. Of its
richness in metal, evidences are here and
there to be seen. as, for example, IN the
lands of Mr.. Meredith, in Roane county
and near DIR. Moore'S, and on the plan
iation OF Judge l. Peck, in jefferson
county"

A LITTLE MYSTERY Why is it that even
among our wealthy CatholIc families, we
find here so little of that noble aud princely
liberality towards Catholic interests which
we 80 much and 80 often admire 10 old
Europe7 l. there not something in the
atmosphere that urges the rich man rather
to get richer than to show due thanks to
the Author of all god gifts 7
Our churches, our institutions, our
schools, h"sI ita's, etc, are the results of
penny collections, the fruits of t. o sweat
of the poor, rather than the magnificent
evidence of Christian souls whose generous
impulse ever equals their abundance.
ThuS rich men, and rich ladies' too, leave
to their heirs broad and undivided acres,
or thousands of dollars, but no sanity ex
amplts 20 strike their minds and raise them
htavenWard.
Only few years siuce, an acquaintance
of ours, not a Thousand miles off, whose
first object seemed ever to amass and
never give away anything, tioally died,
aud left To smart nephew the snug little
sum of hundred thousand dollars, in
| gold. The next year all was invested by
the enterPrisiug nephew in putting NJ a
splendid block of buildings, for rent. The
work was scarcely ended, when, on a sud
den, at night, FIRE caught In the block
and leve!Ied all to the ground, even the
rich nephew with it. We never heard that
as much as a Mass had been secured for the
soul OF either Gle or nephew. We were
not alone in suspeCting the hand of God in
that fire; we merely touch fouchy point
which We would be glad to sec treated Il:
! 1t deserves, by some skilful and abb,
/ writer's. A few lucid aud we'll diresteC
articles on THE subject might have serious
results-well worth, indeed the truubl,
they would cost.-Are Maria.
