The other day the MORNING News called
attention to the fact that water was pouring
into the street from a public hydrant at
Jefferson and Berrien streets. The author
tiles looked after the matter when their at
tention was called to it. For several days,
so it is reported, water has been flowing
from a hydrant on CASTOR street and also
from one on Drayton, corner South Broad
street. 1t costs good deal of money to
supply the city with water, and care should
be taken that it is not wasted. Is it any,
body's business to look after the hydrantss
If it isn't it ought to be, and il it is there
must be neglect somewhere

A BLIND GENIU6.
Work of Vidal. One of the Foremost Scuip'
tors OF France.

Vidal, the blind sculptor, is one OF the
wonders of the French capital. He has
been blind since his twenty-6rst year, We
can quite easily understand how a bind
farmer would cultivate the ground with a
plow, spade, and hoe; how he would feel
around the tender plants and gently
loosen the dirt from the roots, or how
the blind Birmingham (Ala.( miner
tells, with the sense Of touch alone, the
direction and TO what depth to drill his
holes before putting in blast but the
work of Vidal stands out in bold relief,
unique, wonderful, and Incompatible. To
be a sculptor it Is generally supposed that
one must have the mechanics eye" ana
the artists taste and perspcuity. The lat;
ter's faculties Vidal has to an exceptional
degree--even more acute, he believed, than
if the former were not lost to him forever.
BY slowly passing. his hands, over an
object he notes its external proper
tions aud initiates them in clay in a
manner which strikes the beholder dumb
with surprise. A dog, horse, human face,
or ANYTHING alive or dead. he models
with as much ease as any of the dozens of
Parisian sculptors who still retain the
faculty of sight. From 1856 to 1875 Vidal
received more medals than other exhibitor
of works in the Paris art exhibitions. Many
of his works, made in the solitude. of his
perpetual midnight, are now on the shelly es
at the great exposition, where. the bllnd
wonder contends in friendly rivalry with
his less unfortunate brother artists. lie
never complains, is always genial and fes-
tive when among his friends, who always
speak of and to him as though he could see,
and well may they do so, for he is one OF
the best art critics in all Paris.

NEW ORLEANS, December 3l.-The Plea
plnes Bonham (Te1.) special says: MIR. T..
w. Caskey delivered alecture Sunday night
at the Main-Street Christian church on the
subject, THE Inner Life of Jefferson
Davis Mr.. Caskey was an acquaintance
of Mr.. Davis for fifty wears, and for thirty
wears one of his most intimate friends. In
the course of his remarks MIR. Caskey said !:
1T is said history repeats itself. Ii this
be correct, then the truest instance OF
repetition that know of is the life of Jesus
Christ as repeated to a great extent in the
person of Jefferson Davis" To substan-
tiste the above statement, MIR. Caskey
said that during his acquaintance of ahalt-
century with Mr.. Davis the latter never
entered a saloon or allowed the mildest
oath to pass his lips, and was one Of the
most consistent Christians that ever
breathed. MIR. Caskey viii lecture through
Texas this winter and will make tour OF
the northern States during the coming
summer. He SAYS now that the lllustrious
man IS dead and cannot defend himself,
he proposes to devote the rest OF his lie
time in showing to the world that, Jefier-
son DAVIS IS the greatest man that has
lived since the days of Jesus Christ.
