What the Blind Can Do.
rom the Fortnight ly Review.

From the Fortnight ly Review.
A shining example OF what the blind
who have courage and determination
can do could be witnessed in the lat
lamented Henry Fawcctt. He refused
to allow his infrmity to interfere ma
terially with his career and habits
though, Of course, it modified and
altered their channels. It is we'll know
that he WAS an admirable horsemal
and fisherman, and if he. was undeterre<
by the drawbacks OF his condition
when they were suddenly thrust upoi
him in early manhood, surely c}lildre,
who have never known the blessing o
sight can be brought up to regard
blindness as nothing which need pre-
vent their taking their place compare
lively on a par with the rest OF thu
citizens OF the world Henry Fawceti
is not alone. Other blind men have
to all intents and purposes, lived thei,
lives as thoroughly as thousands with
their eyes have done. We have hearf
OF sightless travellers and writer's innu
merable. There We're Milton Prescott
the hlstorian; Huber, the naturalist
and Braille himself, to quote only few
that occur to me. DR.. Armitage, again
has travelled so far and wide, frequent
~ visiting most of the European cen
ters, where he could acquire informa
ton, and, SO to speak, see for himsel
how the blind are educated and care;
for. Two years ago he made q pro
longed journey through the states O
America with the same object, though
he did not fail to enjoy the pleasure
of travel for it's own sake. Only i,
rare instances in the future need Their

less person to become burden on hi.
family Or the charity Of the benevo
lent-"the night cometh when no ma,

if they have not acquired resources O
their own, must be provided for Al
the same time it cannot be gainsaii
that they do require immense assist
ance throughout their lives. It is O,
account Of this assistance not havin

The Printing Of Money!.

The Bank OF England note is printed
on Irish linen water~lined paper, plain
white, and with ragged edges. The
notes are five inches by eight in dimen-
sions. They arenever reissued by the
bank, but burned as soon as taken in.
In sending money from one part of the
country to another the note is gener-
ally cut in two parts and the pieces
sent IN separate envelopes. The bank
OF Ireland note is in appearance and
size much the same, with the addition
OF more elaborate scroll work in the
engraving. German and Austrian
currency bear upon each bill {. warn
ing against counterfeiting, thres ,tening
penitentiary to any one who shall
make, sell or have in their possession
any counterfeiting or fac smile OF any
OF the notes. The German are printed
in green and black. They are in de-
nominations from marks to 1000
marks. the currency of Austria is
printed in two languages, Austrian
on one side and Hungarian on the
other, in order to accommodate his
Majesty Francis Joseph's Magyar sub
jects. The engraving is profuse with
artistic angel heads and rather elab-
crate scroll work. The note is print
ed ON a light-colored thick paper.
Some OF the more recently issued
German notes, however, are printed
upon paper very similar to that used
for United States Treasury notes.
The smallest denomination in Aus
trian currency is one form. The
denominations are from one horin to
1000 forms. A noticeable peculiar
ity is the fact that in exchanging, Aus
TRANS or Hungarians prefer the paper
money Of their own country to coin.
while German, Swiss, or French peo1
pie invariably want coin in preference
to currency. The reason for this is
not known, unless it is because the
smallest note in Austrian currency il
much smaller than the smallest note
in the currency of the other countries,
and the common people become more
used to handling currency than in tho
Others.

A Burmese Fairy Story.

Fairy tales are popular among them.
and there is one which comes from
over the border in Siam which was
told us by a Siamese. The exaggera,
tions all hang together artistically and
are in the same key, as it were: "There
was once a king who heard that there
was an enormous giant in q far
country, and he declared that he should
never rest until he had a hair of the
giants head. So he sent his feet, and
they sailed and they sailed and they
sailed for weeks and weeks and weeks,
and at last one day in the afternoon
it became suddenly dark and they
stuck fast and could get neither for.
ward nor backward. Now the fact
was that they had got inside a hole in
a sort Of carrot, the smallest vegetable
in the giants kingdom. And behold
the next morning the giants children
went out to fish, and as they went
they picked up two or three elephants
on their way for bait, but they were
only able to catch a few of the
very smallest fishes in the country
something equivalent to your min.
nows' (siad the narrator). And as
they were going back they saw the car.
rot growing by the waters edge, and
pulled it up TO put it into the curry,
and inside it was the whole fleet. Aft
err: they got home the giant threw the
fish and the carrot into the pot in or
der to boil them, when the fleet rose
out OF the root to the top of the wa.
ter with all the men in it. What are
those curious insects?' said the giant,
peering down into the pot. Then
came q good deal more, which the mar
rator had forgotten. The men tried
to shout to the giant and tell him
what it was they wanted, but their
voices were too weak, and he could
not hear word they said. Atlength he
lifted them up to his EARN his hand, and
whole boats crew marched in at the
hole and went ever such a long way up
inside, and then they all shouted to.
gether and told him they had come
from their king to ask him for q hair
of his head So atlast he was able to
hear what even then seemed to him
only whisper. Unlike his kind, the
giant was apparently az good natured
as he was big-he gave them the hair,
lifted them back to the sea, where the
hair, when put on board the feet,
nearly sank it, after which he pulled
out his checks and gave tremendous
blow, which carried the feet straight
home hundreds of miles at one co.

The Drummer Talked too Much.

An AMBITIOUS young commercial
tourist living in one Of the cities on
the middle Hudson became acquainted
with young lady attending O. we'll
known seminary, whose father is an
influential citizen of one Of the Wash
,lngton county towns, and is reputed
to have q solid bank account. Hav-
ing progressed in his acquaintance
with the young lady so far as to seek
and recei'se an invitation to visit her
az her home during her school va
cation, he essayed to risk the danger
that might attend his reception at
the paternal domicile. Having en-
gagged the fastest trotters and the nat
tlest turnout of the village liveryman,
our tourist set out.
The ride was about six miles, and
after chad journeyed about half that
distance he overlook a pedestrian and
inquired if he was ION the right road
to Mr.. Smiths farm house?" Receiv-
ing an affirmative reply the drummer
asked the farmer to ride. The latter
got in the buggy, and as soon as he
was seated the young man pulled out
his flask and asked his new made friend
to imbibe. It was declined, and the
protfered cigar elected the response
that he neither drank liquor nor
smoked nor chewed tobacco. To this
the sharp young man rejoined by
avowing his belief that there never
was a man but what was addicted to
some of the vices. Meeting with no
contradiction on this topic he inquired
of the stranger if he knew Mr.. Smith
and his standing in the community.
EYES," replied he, II know him very
we'll, and I think he is quite fair with
his townsmen."
Hes we'll hooked up, amt he?"
"Well, he owns one OF the beet farms
in the town, and he prides himself on
his stock"
HE has daughter?"
Yes, three of them"
"Well, l mean the one that is at
school in --, l have met her and
am invited by her to call and spend
the evening"
"Ah, is that so? She is an excellent
girl"
"Well, she is clear mashed on me,
and intend to do my level best to
marry her and get share of the old
mans money to set me up in bust
ness. Don't you think that bright
business idea?"
"Well, as I said, she is a good girl
and one that loves her father dearly,
and obeys him in everything. You
could not obtain her hand without her
fathers consent"
"pll see about that. I'd give more
to obtain the daughters than the old
mans consent" replied the impetuous
but undiscerning young fellow.
At this moment they were ap.
preaching a stately farm house, and
as they reached it's front the farmer
said: 81 live here and will get out, il
you please
The commercial man gently halted
the trotters, and, as the old gentleman
reached the ground, he said to him:
.Now, how much further is it to Mr..
Smith's?"
II am Mr.. Smith, SIR" replied the
farmer, sternly, land you can drive
on, for will not permit you to step
on my premises

Lay like caresses close and warm
Amid the shadows and the lights
And told you how the winters frost
Went out at breath of true loves rites,
And how Lfound all dearness lost
Down dewy walks OF summer nights.
Again, ah, sweet! sweet love is crossed
By that OF blame that comes to chill
The heart, dear heart it cannot kill,
Whatever pangs OF death it cost;
Look up, then, dear! and know ME strong
To hold your love on sacred heights,
And lend YOU, mine! our whole lives long
Down dewy walks OF summer nights.

AFTER THE BALI.

She counts her conquests all al naught
Before this browning one. -er
The love that seemed to come unsought,
Like splendors of the sun;
And every word he spoke tonight
Is craven ON her brain
In letters OF auroral light,
Forever to remain.
She lays her lips upon the hands
His fervent lips have kissed;
All DER her clear eyes rs she stands
There comes a happy mist.
What was her charm in form or face
Der others at the ball
That he should do her such grace
As choose her mid them all?
She casts her shining silks aside,
And robes her for her rest;
Her only dream till morning tide,
He loves me-ioves me best"
0, virgin faith! o, face 50 SWEET
0, heart that pulses true!
Will any mans heart ever beat
As Loyalty for you?

He leaves the ball, but not for rest,
And not for faithful dream;
Lille needs, it seems, another zest
Where Lais reigns supreme.
Fill high tho beaker with champagne.
And crown tho board with flow rs:
A husband may not know again
Such gay Bohemian hours
Not his tho love that lives for ave.
Not his the loyal troth;
His passion lasts q Summer day,
He swears a traitors oath.
so take the mortal mid the strife
OF HYmeneal plans.
That love is all q woman's life,
And only hall q mans.

to Keyser, Keyser being the point Of ar
rival, no more could be charged from
Clarksburg to Keyser than was charged
from ParEersburg to Keyser. Or if a car
was shipped from Clarksburg to Cumber-
land and another car of the same kind of
freight was shipped from Grafton to Cum
berlsnd, Cumberland being the point OF
arrival, no more could be charged from
Grafton to Cumberland than was charged
from Clsrksourg to Cumberland. Or In
other words, taking each point as a point
of departure, and each point as point OF
arrival prevents more from being charged
for q shorter than for a longer
distance in the same direction to all points
where there are shipments enough to estsb-
lish the rule. But considering alep in this
connection the provisions Of the bill that
all tariffs shall be made public and con.
spicuously posted and cannot be changed
without ten days notice, railroads can
not make exceptions to the general rule on
the theory that certain points might not
have shipments enough to establish the
principle, because such points might in the
first ten days either ship or receive two or
more cars from different points in the same
direction, which would result in a violation
ofthe law, 30 that the result would p-ob-
ably be the establishment by the railroads
and the commission of general rule moi
to charge more for q shorter
than longer distance in all cases where
special exceptions we're not authorized BY
the commission.
Under this general Interpretation which
is no doubt correct, the section has q mucs
wider application than has been generally
supposed, and as the bill contains msnl
other important and valuable pro
visions, it is to be hoped that the Hous'
will adopt the bill and pass it. tits feared
BY come that the House may sntagonizs i
BY the REAGAN bill, which ia similar il
many respects to the Senate bill, but differ
in the provision that the Senate bill creates
q commission to carry out its provisions a
the expense of the Government, and tn
REAGAN bill creates penalty for violation
and leaves each individual to seek redress
at his own expense. There is no doub
that this feature of the Senate bill would b
more satisfactory to the country than tn
penal feature of the REAGAN bill.

ENHANCING THE PROPERTY OF

The discussion by members Of the Cham

nile of our eiry. As Mr.. SWEENEY said
'Our boast for many years has been that
IN natural advantages we are uneKcelled,

.,v. our taxes are lower thsniu most other
industrial cities; we have abundant rail-
mad and river facilities, coal is very cheap,
,Dlsnty and convenient, and natural gas Is
an assured fact"
But every one con see that N spite OF
these advantages Wheeling is not making
that progress in the race of prosperity that
aha should. While, as DR.. LoGAS suggest
al the depression in the trade and prosper
Inv Of the city may be due largely to the
failure of crops and to the general stsgna-
