structive and stimulating volume en-
titled ssThe Perfect Horse"-a book, by
the way, that is already out of print,
and copies of which command consider
able premium.
Murray's reputation was made by his
famous book on the Adirondack wilder
ness, which has more than reached its
one hundredth thousand. The posi-
bilities of these sketches, which first ap-
peared in d local Connecticut paper,
were discovered by the keen eyes Of
James T. Fields. Published twenty
three years ago, the book gained wide
attention and led to no end of con-
troversy. Many, particularly wise
penny-a-liners and bookish men, looked
upon the matter as canard, regarding
the very circumstantiality of statement
as mere cleverness of the inventor, anal
ogous, in a measure, to one of Poe's
celebrated literary hoaxes. Not so with
those whose instructive faith had not
been perverted.
we'll remember how the new book of
enhancing adventure was passed around
the circle of my boyish friends at the
district school in western state, at
which I was then learning the art of
carver of desks and benches. There was
no doubling these tales in that apprecl-
alive circle The stories of Gloon Shoot
ing in Thunderstorm" and "Jack
Shooting on Foggy Night carried full
conviction to our souls. Curiously
enough, Mr.. Murray now views this sue
cessful book "with dissatisfaction" and
his controlling motive in writing ebay
light Land" was to produce an anal
ogous work of touring and light travel
which should more nearly satisfy his
ideal in this species of composition.
From the stir the Adirondack book
made. as well as from the authors elo-
ouence as a preacher, he became subject
of interest to the lyceums, and soon had
great vogue as lecturer. This was in
the days of the platform giants-Gough,
Phillips. Beecher and Emerson, OF which
great coterie of speakers Adirondack
Murray is the sole survivor. And he is
actively preparing for fresh campaign
ON the platform during the coming fall
and winter.
Mr.. Murray is fine example of robust
manhood. Of large and powerful frame
and imposing presence, though in his
ffty-second year, his step is elastic and
springy, and beneath his thick, white
hair his kindly eyes beam forth with un-
dinned luster. His face is rounded
and ruddy with perfect health. Truly
one need look no further for proof that
the great north woods hold in their re-
cesses the secrets of healthful vigor and
have power to retard the touches OF
time, ALBERT j. POTTER. i

Especial Correspondence
GUILFoRD, Conn, Aug. 1S.-Whlle
registering in the visitors book, on re-
cent visit to the Old Stone House, was
surprised to see the signature of w. Fl.
Fl. Murray two or three spaces before
my own. The Guilford address he gave
suggested visit to his old home, which
lies about three miles northeast of the
village center in picturesque farming
section. The homestead has grown by
the addition of other farms until it now
comprises about 200 acres. The original
farm has been in the possession of the
family $50 years, Murray's ancestors
having been residents of Guilford since
1885. They were race of farmers and
shipbuilders. The old farm house is
still standing in which Adirondack Muir
ray was born in the year 1841. 1t is an
obleng frame with solid oak timbers
and with a quaint two story verarSa
on the western end. It is undergoing
repairs and will be enlarged considera-
bly, to make it permanent home for
Murray and his children. After years
of absence as minister, lecturer, sports
man and traveller he has returned to
the ancient seat of his fathers, where
his future literary work will be car
ried on.
1t is often noticed among literary and
other brain workers that some pet en-
terprise will be pursued as an intellec-
tual diversion, and as an aside to their
more serious work. Frequently this
pardonable hobby appears as a love for
thoroughbred dogs, or blooded poultry
and fancy pigeons, but with the subject
of this sketch the amiable mania APP
peared in more serious and meritorious
guise, and we find him at one period of
his career breeding blooded horses.
Beauty and speed were the goals in this
minor pursuit, and they were album
dainty realized. On his farm he erected
extensive barns and constructed short
speeding course. This was years ago,
ere the activities Of body and mind were
wholly engrossed in what has be-
come his life work. Yet even this ex-
cursion into a difficult field has borne
good fruit in the shape of most in
The Portland daily press., 1892-09-07

identified each by his voice. He is
perfect little encyclopedias of historical
and literary information; can count in
all the languages he has ever heard,
amounting to dozen; can recite very
long poems after hearing them read
once, and detail every fact of any i'm
portance in any history he has once
heard read. He is withal fairly good
singer and has some talent for the piano.
Many tests of his memory have been
made in Boston with astonishing re-
suits.
Another blind person of note is Mr..
William M. Davenport, of Leyden,
Franklin county, Mass, who lost his
sight in boyhood. Nevertheless he soon
mastered the details of small farm on
which his parents lived, and starting in
early manhood wi5la no fortune but his
talents hehas acquired over $50, 900. He
is one of the best judges of wool in the
state, and by feeling and smell can de-
tect every variation in fiber, grease, dirt
and other peculiarities. This, however,
is not so surprising as his quick jndg-
ment on live stock. He does it by Clay
ing on Of hands," and does it SO well that
he is one of the regular judges at all
stock gatherings.
A singular feature of his case is that
his own animals seem, in a dumb brute
way, to realize his misfortune. He has
bought and handled as many as 500 cat
tie in year, feeds and waters those on
his farm himself, goes in and out among
them equally by day or night and has
never once been kicked or bitten. Re-
Gently he led vicious bull, which others
were afraid Of, six miles. He is very
prominent man in county affairs, is in
Greenfield every Saturday and can walk
or ride the nine miles to his home with
ease and certainty. His wife usually
draws and signs papers for him, and his
four children read great deal to him,
as he takes fifteen papers and magazines.
Despite tho compensatiohs of nature
and the labors of philanthropy this ID a
hard world for the blind, and though
ingenious men have sought out many
inventions to aid them much remains to
be done. The development of Laura
Bridgeman by DR.. Samuel G.. Howe was
certainly the greatest achievement in
physico.psyehology this world has ever
known. She was deaf, dumb and blind,
had no sense Of smell and an imperfect
taste, yet DR.. Howe discovered a way to
reach her mind and found it good ore.

Professor Frank H. Hall, of the Jack
sonville Qlls.) Institute for the Blind,
has now completed an invention on
which he has been toiling for years-a
typewriter for the blind. Without going
into details, it is enough to say that this
little machine removes at once all the
enormous difficulties the blind have ex-
perienced in writing; that not only can
the production be read by the blind
when the puncturing system is used, but
by the letter system the blind will be
able to prepare manuscript for the press.
Yet the machine is quite simple, having
but six keys and weighing but nine
pounds. They can be manufactured in
quantities for seven dollars each, and
the professor has nobly refused to avail
himself of any gains by a patent.

The achievements Of the blind are ar
unfailing source of wonder to those who
can see, and the latest prodigy among
those unfortunates is Oscar Moore,
six-year-old colored boy of Waco, Tex.
His memory is not simply phenomenal;
it is what many people would call
marvellous. He has never been known
to forget name after hearing it once
or to fail of recognizing voice. It is
well known fact that loss of sight sharp
ems the other senses, especially hearing,
but it has not been supposed TO greatly
strengthen the memory.
Oscars memory was first noticed by
his parents when he was but thirteen
months old, and he soon became won
der in Texas. He was recently taken to
Boston. When introduced to a large
company he remembered the name of
every one at their next meeting and

YALE Is THE FAVORITE.

Harvard VIII Start mt a High Rate of
Speed and Try to Keep the Lead to
the Finish-Yale VIII Row tho Reg
ular Stroke.
NEW LONDON, Conn, June 29.-New
London is fast filing up with strangers in
anticipation of the great race which is to
be rowed Friday afternoon between and
o'clock. G. A. Rives of New York will
be the referee. All the arrangements for
the race are now complete.
Coach Harry Reyes has made some
changes in the positions of the men and
in the style of rowing, especially in the
manner of putting up her stroke. Har-
ward will start at forty-one strokes to the
minute and keep that tremendous rate up
just as long as possible, then gradually
drop to thirty-eight.
Stroke Lyman is a man of enormous
strength and endurance, and can keep the
stroke up just as high as he is asked to.
But the difficulty will be that of tho other
men in the boat cannot follow him. Cap
tain Kelton, who rows at No. 2, is not
rowing with him, and the result is that the
good form, which has always been Har-
wards characteristic, is not obtained. Yale
Will not row much abeve "a strokes to the
minute. She may start in at SO, but will
drop to 81. The Yale crew is rowing in
beautiful form. The report that Yale is
over trained is false. The Yale crew is in
perfect physical condition, but they are
highly strung men and need to be caref ully
handled.
To witness the Yale-Harvard- Columbia
freshman race to-day limited number may
take passage on the fast steamer Msnhan-
set which will leave her wharf this morning
in New London at 10:45 and follow the
crews over the course. The steamer Block
leland will leave her wharf there thirty
minutes before the hour of the race. Fare
twenty five cents.
The freshmen took their last pull yester-
day morning before the contest booked for
| to-day. Ali are in good condition. Hsr-
ward Is the favorite, Yale second and Col
umbia third.
