Marvels Performed by a Blind Man.

There recently died at Burlington,
Conn, one James Goodsell, who from
his birth, during life of nearly ninety
years, has been totally blind. In spite
of his misfortune, he would swing an
axe with dexterity, and felled trees; he
was nm accomplished grain thresher,
and would frequently go alone a dis
tance oftwo miles to thresh for the farm
ers, climbing the mows to throw down
the grain; he could hoe corn or garden
stuffs as well as anybody, having no
trouble to distinguish the weeds; he
would set 100 bean poles with more ac-
curacy than most people who can see /;
would load hay; and was so good a
mechanic that he manufactured yokes
and other articles with success. He had
an excellent memory, and was an au-
thority on facts and dates. He could
generally tell the time of day or night
within a few minutes. One instance is
given when he slept over one day and
awoke at evening, thinking it was morn
ing. For once he ate supper for break
fast, but when informed of his mistake,
slept another twelve hours in order to
get straight again. He was familiar
with forest trees, and knew just where
to 90 for any timber desired. He could
direct men where to find a chestnut, q
maple, or an oak, and the children
where to go for berries. He was good
mathematician, and could compute ac-
curately and rapidly. In olden days he
was quite musically inclined, and, like
most blind people, he had genius in
that direction. He was at one timC
leader of the Presbyterian choir. To
crown ali. he possessed one of the hap.
piest dispositions, and was ever genial
and cheerful. To this end his generally
excellent health largely contributed.

Lizard versus Scorpion.

George jennings of Six-mile Canon,
describes a queer battle which he wit
messed between a lizard and a scorpion.
He says the lizard, black one about
eight inches in length, came out OF
pile OF lumber, and his attention was
attracted to it by seeing 1t bob It's head
up and down In an excited manner, oc-
,asionally creeping forward foot OF
two. Looking in the direction the
lizard was creeping Mr.. Jennings OBJ
served scorpion, some four inches in
length, sittingiupon pile of moist sand
that had accumulated in one OF the
sluice boxes.
The lizard moved quite near TO the
scorpion, when it braced itself up on its
tore-feet and began bobbing its head
and bowling in most ludicrous and
bantering way. The scorpion erected
its tail, which it vibrated in a threaten
ing manner. The lizard circled round
the scorpion, occasionally halting to
bow at him. At length, however, the
scorpion attempted to crawl away. The
moment he began crawling the lizard
darted upon him like flash and
adroitly seized him by the last joint of
the tail--that which contains tAe poison
sack and at the point of which is
situated the sting, Having this hold of
the scorpion the lizard was safe from its
sting, but had apparently no means OF
doing any further damage. Presently
the corpion twisted himself abo md
tried to get hold of the lizard with his
claws, which are like the claws of
lobster or crawlish, whereupon the
lizard shook him as dog would shake
arat.
This was repeated dozens Of times.

until the scorpion began to 90 for aim
with his nippers. The battle lasted
over half an nour. At last the scor-
pion no longer showed fight, and the
lizard dragged him away into the lum-

Chinese Contrarlness.

Inaletter FROM Soo-chow, China, Rev.
II. c. Du Bore gives some amusing ex'
ainples Of Chinese contrariness:
"DS-Seen-Sah, will you lei me ask il

suit of linen last summer. Black with
us is mourning, and they have the oppo-
sic color. In foreign lands green and
blue, brown and red silks are for ladies /;
here a gentleman may have a red bon
net, black satin Jacket, a blue silk
robe, green trousers and embroidered
shoes. Our shoe soles are black, a
Chinaman's white. You run your arms
in the sleeves and then draw on your
coat, our friends first put on the gar
ment and then run their arms in. We
wear hats in summer and John goes
barehcaded; we take off our hats in the

respect.

his own two hands at him. What il

boys play with dolls and girls look on.

Words OF Wisdom,

Every man is bound to tolerate the act
Of which he himself sets the example.
Is beauty vain because it will fadeP
Then are earth's green robe and heavens
light vain.
It ever is the marked propensity Of
reckless and aspiring minds to look into
the stretch of dark futurity.
There are peculiar ways in men
which discover what they are through
the most subtle feints and close dis
guises.
None arc so seldom found alone and
are so soon tired of their own company
as those coxcombs who are on the best
terms with themselves.

The Razor Clam,

Wien the tide is out, one may find
the razor fish, so called because the
shell resembles the handle of razor.
II laid hold of suddenly, the chances are
that before he can be drawn out he will
slip out of his shell, leaving that empty

sence" of him has gone down half a
fathom into the sand. Yet he is not
more slippery than many an individual,
who, when pressed to do some magnani-
NOUS deed in behalf Of the community,
slips out of his shell, and, losing the
grip, you can no more find the soul and
essence OF him than you can find the
soul OF this razor fish, which has gone
deep into the muck and sane. III either

The Woman Who Writes.

We all remember the strange littl
woman in David Copperfeld," who
Kept Steerforth's nails in order for him
md rendered similar service to other
folk for moderate hire. Her industry
was not stranger than is that of little
woman here in New York whose busi-
ness it is to write notes for fashionable
women whose Incidence or lack of skill
in penmanship or in the art OF epistolary
composition forbids them to write notes
for themselves, This obscure worker
knows how to turn sentences cleVerly;
she can say graceful things gracefully;
she can write note which sparkles all
over with good humor and effects its
purpose. This is her skill, her equip
ment, her capital in life. Of its kind
it is as genuine as any. The things
that she knows how to do are things
that need to be done. There is as posi-
tive need for her skill as for that OF
the plumber--if we may imagine a
plumber who really has skill--and'
however completely without recogni-
tion her business may be among trades
and professions, it is as Legitimate as any.
There are women who cannot write the
notes and letters required Of them with
satisfaction to themselves, and other
women who can do SO but dislike the
occupation, and many Of them are glad
to pay for the service. The professional
letter-writer has managed to discover
this need and to turn it to account in
securing employment for herself She
has many clients. Some OF them en-
gage her for specified hours Of each day,
to write whatever notes there may be
occasion to send, while Others employ
her only upon particular occasions
where there is more writing than usuaI
to be done. Her experiences are varied
and interesting. Sometimes she has To
preserve answers to notes that she has
herself written upon a few occasions,
when invitations not yet received were
know to be coming she had to prepare
answers to them at one house before writ
ing them at the other, but being dis
Greet little body she keeps her own
counsel in such cases, and does not re
veal the nature of the replies, already
prepared to the client whose invitations
they are meant to nswer.-New Yor'

China BrlstIing For war.

New York, 6.-HeTaId's Hong Kong:
China is making heavy preparations for
war. She is purchasing arms extern
sively. The Kudjs imbroglio has
developed new and unexpected complica-
tons. Russian settlements in Eastern
Siberia have come to be regarded as
absolutely dangerous to the peace of the
Empire. The Kuldja which has been
restored, is not the kuldja with which
the Pel1in government parted Russia
has retained strategicsl positions, China
has, therefore. begun to adopt more or
less defiant attitude toward all foreign
powers. England and Russia both hope
TO make use of her, England will pro-
badly succeed and the Gar will have one
more foe to encounter in Asia. Hi;
government is already melting Japan tC
take arms against China. The question
of the sovereignty of the Loo ChoC
Islands is being again pushed to the
front. There are men in China who are
alxiously waiting for embarrassment a
hcme and abroad; who saw in govern
