In great feats of memory the eye plays
a chief part, yet blind people also have
good memories. Rev. p. j. Johns, chap
lain to the blind asylum, London, testified
that a large number of pupils learned the
Psalter, and that one young man was
there who could repeat not only the whole
of the 80 prayer book psalms and large
number of metrical psalms and hymns, as
well as a considerable amount of modern
poetry, including Goldsmith's "Deserted

BLATCHFoRD'S SUCCESSOR TO BE
SENATOR WHITE, LOUISIANA.
Cleveland Capitulates to the Hill Forces
by Naming II Senate. Tho
Surprised, Confirms This Third Nomina-
ton Career and qualifications of the
New Justice.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-The president this
afternoon nominated Senator White of Louis
lana to be associate justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, and the Senate
confirmed the nomination.
The nomination came in the nature of a
surprise to the Senate. All sorts of rumors
were afloat during the morning relative to
this appointment, in which the names of
Senators Gray and Faulkner were mention
ed, but not that of the Louisiana senator.
Mr.. White did not come to the Senate to-
day, and the fact that he was at the White
House this morning, where he doubtless re-
ceived the news, constrained him to absent
himself from the presence of his colleagues.
Edward Douglass White was born in the
parish of La Fourche La, in November,
1910, and was educated at Mount St Marvs s,
Md, at the Jesuit college in New Orleans,
and ut the Georgetown university.
this city. He served in the confeder-
ate army, and after the close of the wal
in 1868 was licensed to practice law by the
Supreme Court of Louisiana. In 1874 he
wac elected State senator and was appoint
ed four years later associate justice of the
Supreme Court of Louisiana. He is a law
yer of marked ability, in the full vigor of
life and will bring to the Supreme Court q
valuable knowledge of the intricacies OF
practice under the civil code, or Code Ma
poleon, as it prevails in the Louisiana courts
which will be of great service in disposing
of cases arising in the courts of that State
senator Whites sudden Call.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Witt,

was considering his name as justice of tn,
