Instantly he sent her back, with all he

The evil TO be greatly aPprehended,
by reason of the tendencies of opinion
in the popular mind of late, is, as it
seems to me, that we shall bring for
ward a generation of imperfectly edu-
Gated specialists in this country. No
result is, iR my judgment more to be
deprecated than this. Indeed, IT may
be doubted whether in every sense
such a result could properly be regard
ed as progress at all. The fathers had
at least a wide outlook, as far as their
field of vision reached. They believed
in men, not in mere workers in the
great human workshop. They be
lieved in individual men, full grown
and matured in their whole manhood,
and not in mere scholars orpractition-
ers in some one section of life or knowl-
edge, whose mental culture should be
limited to that one section.
Men are what we need in this
country; not lawyers, or physicians,
or ministers, but men men who,
whatever may be their profession;
men who, whatever may be the eX-
tent of their knowledge in their own
peculiar science, know much that
is beyond their science, aDd see the
glory of all knowing and of all truth.
Education, according to the true view
of it, is like religion. 1t seeks the in
dividual that it may bestow upon him,
in himself, the fullness of its blessing.
1t strives to perfect the world in its
own sphere by making perfect the in
dividuals who form the world. II de
sires, and tries, therefore, regarding
this as its first and foremost work, to

length. There is also the skin Of a big
alligator, tanned whole. 1t is owing to
the introduction of alligator leather into
trade that these animals are now fast be-
coming extinct. One OF the rarest Of all
the specimens is a piece Of genuine
mammoth skin, with some Of the hair
still on it, which was cut from the dead

the nearest living relative of the ia

Louisville citizens recall with pleasure
the late George Keats, the favorite
brother of the poet, who, in his early

L. L. GafTney informs us that the town
Of Downieville is at present inhabited by
quite a number Of deer that were cap
tured during a storm. They walk around
town and are as tame as cattle, some Of
them going up to children on the streets
to eat food and delicacies given them.
One band of fourteen were found near
the banks Of the river, above town. They
were all punched in the nov and left
over night. The next day those who
found them picked out what they wanted
and took them TO town, where, in a few
days, they became perfectly tame. Some
are kept tied in stables, and some wander
around town at will, returning to the
barn when they have had their exercise.

One of the most remarkable blind
men in America is John b. Herreshoff,
of Bristol, R l., the head of one of the
largest shipbuilding firms, Herreshoff
Brothers, in the republic. He lost his
sight at Is, and is now 60 odd. He
supervises the financial affairs of the
house and personally superintends
every department of his business, en-
ploying hundreds of men. No one
seeing him debating letters, receiving
reports, strolling about his shipyards
giving orders TO his foremen, would
suspect his blindness.
Not for nearly fifty years has he
seen the vessels that ply on the bay,
but he carries their outlines clearly in
his memory and draws on these for
his designs for new craft. He can get
an accurate idea of any model, or ma
terial body, by running his hand over
it, and of any kind of machinery by
hearing a description of it. He has
great executive ability; has all the re-
~quisites of an eminent inventor, and it
is believed that he would have rivaled
John Ericsson but for his blindness.
He has built some of the finest steam
yachts now afloat, and he feels a pride
in his calling that has grown with his
years-New York Commercial Adver-
