A BLIND SCULPTOR.

One of the most remarkable phenome.-
ma in artistic life is the history of the
blind French sculptor, Vidal. He was
suddenly struck incurably blind at TWEEN
ty-ene years of age. He had previously
passed his life among artists, and he was
devoted to sculpture, in which he had
already given proofs of superior genius.
When this calamity came upon him he
was for a time dismayed. Recovering
courage, he determined to pursue his
favorite studies. From 1855 to 1878 he
has exhibited his works, and has received
several medals. His preference is for
animal subjects. The French Govern
ment has purchased several of his works
for the national galleries. Vidal works
during the day, but he prefers the night,
owing to its quietude and his freedom
from interruption.
On ono occasion he met friend on the
Boulevards, about 10 o'clock at night, and
invited him to his studio, to which he at
once conducted him as easily as if be had
not lost his sight. On arriving there, he
sat down with perfect complacency to his
labors, forgetful that his friend was in
yolved in darkness. He kindled a light
for the benefit of his guest, and then re
commenced his work. In reply TO the
inquiries Of his friend, he said that
nv ,Nff ha fn1 h.
lines that figured the external proportions
and trace the dimensions of his subject.
A hunter dog was brought to him. lie
passed his hand over it in every direction
until he had got correct idea of its
shape and sizo. Having impressed its
proportions on his memory, he modelled
the animal to perfection in clay, size,
shape, expression, and all. He eis not only
an artist himself, but he is also an excel
lent judge Of the work Of others.
A friend accompanying him through
the exhibition of 1875 was startled at the
correctness of his argument, particularly
on busts, his impressions being derived
entirely from the fine sense of touch. He
has made an adm irable likeness Of him
self in medallion form. He loves to fre-
quent the theater. His sensibility is so
acute that no critic can surpass him in his
judgment Of the comparative excellence
of the singers and actors. He seems to be
endowed with a perspicuity Of acumen
that few possess, and which he admits
that, prior to his blindness. he was not
conscious of. He rarely goes out to walk
except in cloudy weather. The bright
sunlight dazes him. He discerns imme-
diately the vicinity of wall, q lamp
post, tree, or other obstacles. For the
most part he walks with steady and
sure tread. Like the blind generally, he
is gay and festive in temper. He is never
happier than when at homo working in
thick gloom in his studio. "Thus far"
he said to friend, 81 know only tho
external night ; long may it be before l
shall know the inner night that envelopes
the soul in utter darkness. ."-From j. ".

SOME PRACTICAL REMARKs.-A girl
who j. never allowed to sew, all of whose
clothes are made for her and put on her
until she is ten. twelve, fifteen or eighteen
years Of age, says the Lady's Journal, is
spoiled. The mother has spoiled her by
doing everything fer her. The true idea
OF self restraint is to let the child venture.
a child's mistakes are often better than
its no-mstakes, because when child
makes mistakes and has to correct them,
1t is then on the way towards knowing
something. A child that is walked up
every morning, and never wakes itsolf up;
and is dressed, and never makes mistakes
in dressing itself and is washed, and
never makes mistakes about being clean;
and is fed, and never has anything to do
with its food and is watched, and never
watches itself and is cared for, and kept
all day from doing wrong-such a child
might as we'll be tallow candle, perfectly
straight. and stolid, and cenely, and un-
vital, and good for nothing but to be
burned up.

In England knowing fellows, when
about to enlist, pay great attention 10
the matter of uniform, which has con-
siderable pecuniaTy value. A Life
Guardsma at London or Windsor will
be paid by servant girl 81 25 for doing
her Sunday out with him, while horse
artilleryman will only be able TO COM
mand 80 cents, and driver Of artillery
35 cents. The same plan is carried on at
Berlin and ether capitals. The Injuries
which these men enjoy are entirely paid
for by their feminine admirers, who, in
the same case of handsome guardsmen
especially, are often of much higher
grade than servant girls. Their fees for
walking out with them is quite independ
ent OF the incidental expenses OF a day of
pleasure, which frequently involves as
much as 81 or SO cut of Mary AIMS
wages.

and Magnattiwan Mills, Ontario, Canada,
and Collingswood Mills, Canada.

tinued, "are property owners. They
own their dwellings and have reared large

Boy SMOKERS. A learned professor
of medicine in one of the universities
some time ago made the remark, that
those students who passed through his
hands rarely succeeded in distinguishing
themselves, If they were habi:ual smokers
of tobacco. The smoking OF cigars or
pipes seemed to dull their faculties, and
to have the effect OF preventing them
from sedulOusly gathering facts sufficient
to excel at examinations for degrees. We
repeat the remark as it was uttered, and
submit it for consideration. Perhaps
other professors, as candid and observant,
might have similar tale TO tell.
