On the subject Of color blindness cor
respondent writes to the Pail IaH Gazete;-
"A very large proportion of the cases of So
called cnlor-bliudness is, am convinced
due 10 ignorance, and, in continuation of
this opinion, there is the undoubted fact
that it is rarely found in examination of
iemaIo candidates. If color blindness is au
organic defect of the visual apparatus, sure
ley it ought to exist in somewhere about the
same ratio in the male and female. I don't
for moment deny the existence of genuine
oolor-blindncssi but | do contend that the
genuine defect is rare one. My sugges-
tiUn is that instruction in colors and their
names ought to form distinct item in the
curriculum Of all elementary Schools

custom, and in compliance with General
Order No. Is, from National Headquarters,
Saturday, May 3Oth, will be observed as
Memorial Day.

Our noble dead will not be

still more beloved; but the veterans are
themselves gradually passing away, (even
our noble old cheltain, the hero of Appoma-

The Richest Man in America.

William H. Vanderbilt, the recent account
Of whose death has been read in almost ev-
cry home in ;he United States. is said 10 be
the richest man in America, and probably
in the world. So great was his wealth that
his death has directed the curious attention
of the public TO it. His estates it is report
ed, are valued at nearly 5000, o0o, 600; his
yearly income amounted to the snug little
sum of Sl0,000.00o, or S27 400 per day. or
Sl,l40 per hour, or SO per minute. The
house in which he lived, together with its
the tomb in which he is buried cost $780,
600.
So great have become the facilities for
money making in this country, and so enor-
nous are the private fortunes which have
been acquired, that the fortune which, few
years ago, was considered sufficient to make
man rich. counts for almost nothing now.
