It "was ft double trf'Hi with
. which the members of the. Ap
jialachinn Mountain club
were .rejroM. in Huntington
Hall, when Charles F. Camp
bell, of-' London; -addressed
them upon "How the Mind
Became Self-supporting.-' Mr.
Campbell ia a utudent at th
MussachusettH; Institute . of
Teclinofogy, and ia the boh
of DrvFrnncis 'J. Campbell.
the blind American who was
born in a loir' cabin in Ten L
neee, was for ten years an
instructor in the Perkins In
stitntion, South Bostou, but
' went to England and found
ed in London the Royal Nor
mal college und academy of
music, the foremost schoo
for the blind in the world.
When this school was es
tablished not one percent, of
the graduates of the English
schools for the blind were a
ble to earn their own living.
Now the young men and wo
men who have taken the
course in Dr. Campbell's in
stitution are able to ear u
good salaries, especially in
music, which is the profes
sion adopted bj 0 per cent,
of them. The first student
who entered the school at its
.beginning, is now organist,
with a large salary in one of
the churches in Eaton.
lne lecturer said tnat a
properly educated blind man
or woman may, and usually
does, pass about their daily
avocations or walk in the
streets without in any way
showing that they are with
out sight. The pupils of his
father's school give light op
eras and indulge in man y
kinds of outdoor athletics so
that on-loukers doubt their
blindness.
An interesting part of the
lecture wos a vivid discrip
tion of Dr. Campbell's numer
ous vocation trios to Swit
- Zprland, during which he has
ascended some of the tr o s t
difficult of the Alps, includ "
ing Mt. Iilarc, which has not
as yet been climbed by an
other blintl man.
Dr. Long, says the States
ville Landmark, has decided
to resign his position as
State smallpox inspector, to
which he was appointed some
months ago. ;Tho duties of
the place call him away from
home frequently taking much
"time from his, private prac-
lice, ana are in other wavs
quite a hardship. It is for
this reason that he has deci
ded to resign. The Land mark
adds that Dr. Longhas filled
the position faithfully and ac
ceptably. Its duties were diffl
cult and responsible but he
has been equal to every emer
gency.v His resignation will
be a distinct loss to the gen
ral public in this capacity.
My income has been be
tween $25,000 and $35,000
a year for the past fifteen
years. I will make an oath
to-night that I am not worth
$20,000 to my name. I try
to do good with my money
j-zoes'uoa restrain a man
from making money? No. He
does not. tfut he restrains

Recently Dr. Lafferty, editor
of the Richmond Christian
Advocate, lost a much-loved
son. In the lust issue of his
paper Dr. Lafferty tells of the
premonition or tnentul tele
pathy that came to him in
the itntant of hisson'sdeath.
We quote:
"The Sabbath came-a per
feet day. The air was vernal.
The sun slftme brightly in sof
tened and mellow radiance.
On returning from worship I
eauiUcred from my confer
ence homo by. a little, park,
pausing for full draughts of
the rich tonic of a cloudless
atmosphere. It seemed the
bridal of t he earth and sky-
so pure and so calm was the
empyrean.
"I joined the Bishop at din
rierut (Jovernor Jackson's.
While at the table there came
a quick, strange shock to the
brain, dimmming my sight
for some seconds. I gazd
steadfastly across the tattle
at. Bishop Galloway to test
my eyes and recover m y
poise by fixing attention.
.There was impression of an
impending evil. I canvassed
the whole field of possible
harm. It wasatthatmoment
the spirit left the broken
body of my son at Crozet by
the Blue Ridge in Virginia.
As, the terrifjing sensation
was passing away the tele
gram was announced and I
rose froin the meal to read
the appalling tidings at the
door. I hastened to my home
in Virginia."

A lad of seven winters recently

Washington would not tell a lie,
und when he eonlcssed to his pa-

That's all right for George,''
said the youngster, "but they
aiu't making no papas now like
he had."

The President Smoked too Much.
VVu8hiiijton UiBiifttcli. "'
Aside from mental worry
over Cuba and Porto Rico,
they have brought to t h e
President physical ills. lie is
just now suffering from execs
sive smoking. It was for this
reason that he visited the
Virginia Hot Springs in the
lopethat the racy mountain
air ajid hot baths mitflit re
store his run-down system to
his former health. He has i-h
turned much improved. Ilaid
ly had our soldiers set foot
on the island than army offi
cers and other government
officials began sending the
President presents of cigars.
They came by the thousand
and many of them came too,
without paying any import
duties, lhese cigars were
much larger and stronger
than the President had been
accustomed to smoke. Then,
too, he smoked more than
usual. It was not long before
he began to feel the effects
without knowing what pro
duced it. His physician final
ly discovered the cause of his
weak and unnerved condi
tion. The President has now
curtailed his smoking to half
a dozen cigars a day.
It is well known that Presi
dent Grant contracted can
cer of the tongue, from which
he eventually died, from ex
cessive smoking of cigars.
