A CHARMING LITTLE STORY.

Several years ago a gentleman
had the misfortune to become to.
tally blind, cataract forming over
his eyes. While is this condition
his wife died.
A young German girl, whom the
unfortunate man had never seen,
was very attentive to the wife in
her last illness, and, after her death,
did what she could to make the
grief-Stricken husband and his two
little motherless children as comtor-
table as possible.
Such devotion did not go uure-
warded. The blind man proposed
and was accepted. He married the
faithful girl. Two children were
the result of their union.
During all these years the blind
man never lost hopes that some day
he might again look upon the beau
ties of nature and the faces of the
loved ones around him.
A physician was finally consulted,
who agreed to attempt the removal
of the cataract. The operation was
successful, and he from whom the
light of day had been shut out for SO
many years, saw again. He was
almost beside himself with joy.
A friend, who was at once recog-
nized, came, leading lady by the
hand.
"Do you know who this is ?" he
asked the happy fellow.
"No, ! do not"
"This is your wife"
And then the pair, one of whom
had never seen the other, fell into
each others arms, and domestic
scene of pathetic beauty ensued.
The two children were also
brought to their father. He clasped
them to his beating heart, and all
the miseries of the past were for
gotten in the pleasure of that
moment.
This is true story. The actors
in this life panorama, covering a
period of ten years, are all alive
The husband seems as well as he
ever did, and is now in business in
a distant city.

ness to him, indicate that remedy
may perhaps have finally been dis.

Gus almost to say, that Mon. Pas,
teur can infallibly arrest hydropho,
bia in every case, and yet we have
every reason to believe that he
thinks he can do so if the patient is
taken in time. He has experiment
ed largely with animals, and finds
that he can inoculate them with
virus taken from the spinal marrow
of a rabid dog, that by inoculating
other animals (rabbits), with the
virus of these, the period of incuba-
ton of the disease was shortened,
and the violence of the symptoms
decreased, until finally, after repeat
ing this many times, he obtained q
virus which produced the disease in
form which was not fatal, even to
rabbits. Moreover, he found that
those animals which had this mild
form of the disease, could not be
made rabid, though inoculated with
the powerful virus direct from dog
that had died of the malady. In
his experiments upon human sub.
jects, no one, so far as we know,
who has applied to him for treat
ment, has had the disease.
No doubt some who have applied
to him were needlessly alarmed, but
it seems hardly possible but that
some have been shielded from the
fatal results of the disease. Still,
we should bear in mind that rabies
is malady which is often months,
and possibly even years in incuba-
ton, and that in great many in-
stances dogs are regarded as mad,
which really are not, and besides
that, the disease is so connected
with the Imagination and the ner-
vous system, that no doubt many
people have died with some symp
toms and pains of hydrophobia, after
having been bitten by dogs which
were abundantly proved not to have
been mad at all.-American AgricM-

The New Zealand Eruption.

In a preliminary report on the recent
volcanic eruptions in New Zealand, the
Government geologist traces the origin of
the disturbance to the penetration of a
large quantity of water to intensely heated
rocks comparatively near the earth's sur
face The focus of the disturbance extend
ed from the north end of the Tarawera
range on line running southwestward
from seven to ten miles and stretching
across the depression which had been occu-
pied by Lake Rotomahana. The first
phase of the outbreak commenced with an
eruption at the northernmost of the three
SUBMITS of the range, was followed in a
few minutes By more violent eruption
from the second summit, and quickly cul-
minated in a terrific explosion at the south
end of the range which seems to have
blown away a section of the mountain
measuring 1000 by 500 feet and 800
feet deep, the debris being scattered over
the country for many miles. The second
and more disastrous phase began nearly
two hours later than the first, and was
marked by the outburst of an immense
volume of steam from the site of Rotoma-
hama lake. At this time was formed the
most remarkable feature of the entire out
break-a great assure, some six or eight
miles long, perhaps, running from the
mountain near the first rent across the site
of the lake, and including several powerful
geysers. Seen through the steam, the bot
tom of this fissure seems to be made up of
boiling mud pools. The matter thrown
from this chasin was in great quantity.

miles of country Us TO obliterate mary nat

A touching story comes to us from the
South illustrative of the close relations
which existed between many of the better
class of shareholders and the better class
of slaves. In 1868 Colonel A. Campbell
the owner of large sugar plantations in
louisiana found that il was impossible tC
receive the money due him from his con-
signees in Nashville, the li;cs being drawn
closely between the sections. Several other
planters were in the same position. Their
debtors, they knew, were ready and willing
to pay, but there vas 10 safe WY of trans
milting the money, Any southern man
who crossed the blockade vas liable 10 be
hung as a spy.
Colonel Campbell cal!e,: lis brother cred
itors together. e" i know Of a messenger
whom | am willing to trust" he said. He
Is my old body servant Sanford. You must
Judge for yourselves whether you will do
the same"
Sanford was a slave. The money in all
amounted TO sixty thousand dollars. Years
before the Old man, who was Methodist
preacher, had lec;ured his young master Oh
the wickeiness of holding slaves.
Hes an original Aboiitiopis',' said
Colonel Campbell nov, and as soon as he
enters Nashville he will be surrounded by
hundreds of slaves flying to the North.
Should he steal the money and escape, be
would be free and rich for life. But will
trust him to come back"
1t was a desperate chance. But partly
because, perhaps, the money could not be
got in any other way, the other planters
resolved 10 take the chance.
On de fust of de mont you can look fob

Sanford entered Nashville with crowds
of negro refugees, and for some days
could not succeed in gaining an interview
with his mas; er's creditors. He finally
succeeded, presented his letter, and received
the money, which lie se~ed up in his
collar.
As the month passed, the other creditors
became uneasy. Every day Colonel Camp
bell drove anxiously out the road by which
Sanford must come, but in vain.
On the last eve of the mouth, a tattered,
limping figure came in sight.

no means of snoring it up, and without
warning these enormous slices will slide OIL
into the working portion of the mine, bury
ing the claims and sometimes killing the
EMPLOYEES, The whole of this funnel is
filled with this "blue" ground, the reef
slipping at various angles, but on ar aver
age of one in fifteen. The theory is, that
in time the sides of the reef will meet at
some great depth, supposed by some to be
/ ,006 feet, by others more; and that then
we shall arrive at the aperture forming the
bottom of the funnel Whether that hole
will again expand into further cavity, is,
of course, matter for speculation. ltshould
be remembered that the diamonds were not
formed where they are now found.
The hot liquid containing the diamonds
was forced by some great cataclysm of ma
ture through the solid earth, the bulgings
in the sides of the mines being very soft
and shaly, showing where the rock was not
sufficiently hard TO resist the enormous
pressure Now it has been observed that in
kimberley there must have been ten dis
tinct upheavals; in Dutoitspan, twenty
five; in Bultfonteip, three or four, and in
De Beers three; and this has been proved
by the varying nature of the ground. II
one upheaval only had taken place, the
center of the funnel would have contained
one particular kind of soil. As the miners
go deeper great alteration is noticed in
the character of the soil. They have actu
ally found pieces of the top reef and top
soil at depth of 400 feet. This shows
that in the succeeding upheavals vacuums
were formed, and the whole funnel became
in a state of tumult, the upper layers OF OK
idized earth returning to their ancient
depths to give place to the other caTbona-
ceous matter which, by successive exposure
to the atmosphere, became oxidized, and
assumed the yellow color seen so frequently
in the heaps and embankments of rejected
debris -Longmdn' Magazine.
