GOING HLYND.

&t a dispatch from London says that it
Is announced III that city, on the authori-
ty of one OF the royal physicians, that
the Queen Is almost totally blind. and
that grave apprehenslons are felt lest
She may lose her sight entirely, 1T any
moment. This Is sad Intelligence, and
the hope Is that the evening Of her
life may not be darkened by any such
IN Hf;liction.
There IS scarcely any misfortune greater
than absolute blindness. To live ones
life In darkness; 10 move and be, and
yet see not, to be shut out to that eN-
tent from Gods great world; to feel
the touch and hear the voices Of loved
ones around and about you and yet not
be able to see them is an nffliction
which not only Englishmen, but right
