BLINDNESS IN ENGLAND.

Steady Decrease in the Rate Principal
Cause Of Loss of Vision.
The number Of the blind in the
United Kingdom according 10 the last
census wa -. 29G, being at the rate of
$40 blind persons per LOCO, 600 of the
general population as compared with
$50 il 1871, 964 in 1861 and l,02l in
1851. The decrease in blindness
would thus appear TO be gradual but

Among the Masal MarrIor..

As we continued our way we could
see that u appearance had aroused a
connection among the inhabitants.
Men were running from kraal to kraal,
and others were cOngregatiug in
groups. Soon the bolder or more
curious Of them began 10 run toward
us, swinging their great shields at
their sides, their enormous spears
glancing brightly in the sun. We
were speedily face to face with the ne.
doubtable warriors, listening 10 their
strange greetings. touching amicably
their greasy hands. Our fears were
for the time allaycd by our reception,
and we forgot their reputation in our
admiration Of their magnificent ply
sique.
BY midday we had camped in the
neighborhood Of the Nasal kraals, in
a curve of the ice cold waters of the
Ngare NErobi There we stacked our
goods, and while some remained 10
guard, the rest cut down acacia trees
and built a strong fence. Thus forti.
fled, we were prepared 10 await the
development of events. Unhappily,
the promise Of our reception IA sadly
belied by the realization. The war
riors gathered ia hundreds from all
sides, and enormous demands were
made OH u goods as payment for the
right Of way through the land. One

coolly invited her to sit and listen to his conversation. She had hoped that be was gone away, never to return, and his presence chilled her. His talk was as painful and disagreeable as surgical operation, and she would gladly order him out of the house if she knew that would end it; but the thought of that mysterious marriage ceremony, which Judge Ransom said was valid, rose up ill her mind and exerted a strange fascina, tion over her, similar to that with which the mesmerist Is said to control his sub ject or the serpent charms the bird. In her case 1t was principally the fascina- tion of fear.
 II presume you think it strange that should address you thus," said Clarence Carson, when both were seated, "but what could be more natural, since we are man and wife? Our courtship was a little queer and somewhat stormy, I'll allow, but it was cruel of you to let me go alone on my honeymoon. Still, if we truly love each other we may be happy yet"
 "Indeed. do not love you,' she said, earnestly. II know nothing of this mar riage you speak of. I was not concerned in it, in any manner. I was not present when it took place, and am not your wife. More than this, MT. Carson, do not want to be tormented in this way any longer Itis time there was an end of this grim and horrible joke"
 "A joke, Edith-a joke! As live, I never was more earnest in my life. Is it possible that you will deny our marriage There was not much style about the ceremony, 1t is true, but it was just as binding as if all the gay world of fashion was present. Remember, there were witnesses-two of them-beside Judge Ransom, whose certificate I have here."
 As he spoke he took the certificate from his pocket and held it before her eyes.
 "See," he said, "here is the proof that you are truly my wife, Edith, and that l am entirely justified in calling you Mrs. Carson"
 "Where did you get that ?" she asked. as she saw 1t was the identical paper that she took to Judge Ransum when she went to ask his advice.
 "From the judge himself, whom saw but short time ago. He told me you had called on him, and that he advised you the marriage was genuine. You showed him this paper to examine, and you forgot it. He gave it to me, seeing that I also had q claim on 1t. You see that am well fortified to assert my rights as a husband, and you might as well yield gracefully to the inevitable, and accompany me. I am going across the sea, and should dearly like to have you along.

some things you cannot say, let the words that have passed between us be as , If they had never been spoken, and you speak to you of love again, and that he l will, if you so desire, continue to be your faithful friend as heretofore" "It is hard to forget some things, Ned, T she replied; "but for the present, at least, or until such time as we can see each other in clearer light, I would rather that the love between us find no further expression"
 "Then you think there is room for hope ahead, Edith, he said, with shin- ing face.
 "Ah, who knows2 The thorniest path ill life may lead to the smoothest high. way, and hope Is lamp that death alone can extinguish."
 "God bless you, Edith !" and he pressed the hand he held to his lips. eff you are in any trouble send for me-" he add. ed, and i'll another minute he was zone, leaving her sad and lonely She did not have much time to keen company with her pensive thoughts, for Ned Newcomb had been gone but a few minutes when knock at the door reused her from her reveries, and gave her quite q start, as she was not expecting visitors just then.
 But the shock that Edith experienced was greater: when, on going to the door, she confronted face which she had hop ed in was far away-a face that had been her thoughts for some time, and that had embittered her life It was the face of Clarence Carson. He had evidently been drinking, but he nevertheless ap- peared conscious of his conduct His presence completely unnerved Edith, and at first sight of him she almost faint to her aid, for she felt that she would mission might be.
 May come in," he said, touching his hat with mock politeness, "and become acquainted with my wife,"
 "Your wife Is not here, sir," said Edith, with all the hrmness at her command.
 "I beg your pardon" said Clarence Carson, entering the room at the same time, "but I think you are mistaken. Judge Ransom just informed me that she is. and think you'll agree with mo that the judge is pretty good authority
 "I know nothing about his authority" replied Edith, "and care less for 1t. The person you seek Is not heTe"
 "Contempt of court, eh?" said Carson, with sheer. "Thats sometimes a seri- ous matter. But never mind it now, my dear Your other mistake Is greater in saying the person I seek Is not here. You will pardon me if say that have the felicity of addressing her at this very moment"
