Sensations Of q Blind Man.

An interesting account has been lately
furnished by N. Plateau, the eminent
Belgian physicist (who has been blind
nearly forty years., of the sensations hs
experiences in his eyes. He has no sense
of objective light even when directing
his eyes toward the sun. But his visual
field is always divided into spaces, some
of which are pretty bright, and others
sombre or nearly dark, and which merge
into each other. Their general tint al
ternates, in time. between gray and red
dish. The relative arrangement OF those
different spaces is always the same, but
the intensity of their tints varies. The
central space seems now rather bright,
now very dark; above and below, and on
sometimes brightness, sometimes dark
ness, but on the right there is generally
a vertical band, nearly black, and be-
yond this space which is nearly always
bright and reddish. These appearances
follow all the movements of the eyes,
which probably do not participate in the
same way in the tRts, but NJ. Plateau
cannot distinguish what belongs to one
from what belongs to the other. No
connection of the general tint with the
work OF digestion is observed. The an
thor states that he became blind through
looking fxedly at the sun for some time,
with view to observing his after-ssnsa-
tions; it was not till about fourteen yesrs
after this that Inflammation of the choroid

interval he often saw colored and pes-
sistent halos round flames. etc., and hs

step into his cell, as 1t was against the
rules to see visitors in the corridor. Gui-
teau, usually very obedient, turned at
once and walked inside, the guard closing
and locking the door after him. No
sooner had the key been turned than it
seemed to occur to Guiteau that this was
device to prevent him from embracing his
sister. He sprang to the bars, and reach
ing his clenched hand out, shook it We
hemently at the guard, calling down
curses on the President, the Cabinet, Jail
officers, and all concerned in this lasf and
greatest humiliation. He was perfectly
furious, and continued to rain down male
dictions on every one in spite of the efforts
of Mrs. Scoville and the Warden, who had
been attracted by the disturbance.
He finally quieted dowpfsomewhat and
wound up with his usual reminder to all
concerned that he wseGod's man, and God
would surely avenee this last insult.
Mrs. Scoville asked permission to go in
side the cell, but Guiteau sternly objected;
saying, ''No; bid me good by this way.
Let them do their work fully, and let the
record of abuse be complete" Bending
forward he kissed Mrs. Scovi1le and her
little daughter, and shook hands with his
brother John. This ended the scene,
which will be memorable as the last inter-
view Mrs. Scoville had with her wretched
brother.

Military Episode.

This story is found in the memoirs Of
Prussian officer of distinction. He
was at the time on the staff of General
Winterfeld, one of the most skillful ant
competent captains of his day, and Win
terfield was the General in command al
the time spoken of.
Two soldiers had been condemned to
death. In drunken condition at night
they had assaulted an officer of the line,
and one of them had drawn knife upon
which of the twain held it. And the
men themselves did not know. Neither
of them remembered anything about it.
shot.
They were both excellent soldiers,
and only one of them had been guilty OF
using weapon.
The officers of the division, including
him who had been assaulted, asked that
the men might be pardoned. At length
Winterfeld said he would pardon one
of them. Only one had held knife,
and only that one ought to die. He
would pardon one, and the men must
themselves decide which of them should
be shot.
"Let US shake the dice," said one ei
the condemned.
And the other agreed to it. And anon
it was agreed to by all interested. The
two men took their places by the side OF
o big drum and were to throw the dicf
upon its head. Two dice were given
them and proper box for shaking.
The first man threw two skies. He
groaned in agony. He felt thst he had
consigned his comrade to death.
But when the second came to throw
he also threw two skies. Wonderful! I n
cried the lookers-on. They were or.
dered to shake and throw again.
This time the second man threw first
two aces. "Ho! Good! You will
live, Peter. But when Peter come to
throw, the dice presented two aces.
And now the beholders were wonder.
stricken, indeed.
Another throw was ordered, aad
Peter threw a FIVE and deuce. The
other threw-fve-deuce. After the
excitement had again subsidized the men
shook once more. The first threw two
fours. "Oh! now throw fives and save
yourself, Peter" Peter threw-two
fours.
At this point the Colonel ordered
them to stop. He went and reported
the marvellous result to Winterfeld.
Said he: Clearly, gentlemen, Provi.
dence will have those two men to be
saved"
And saved they were. The General
cared not to oppose the wonderful fats
of the dice. 1t did seem providential
and so he accepted it.
And the redeemed soldiers lived to
prove that the saving fate had given
bsck to Prussia two of the very best and
brsvest of her sons.
