an old Engliahment named Tom Rey
nolds, and was noted for superior ale
aud the style in which Welsh rarebit
was served. It was a miscellaneous
company that assembled one eve
ning—composed of Americans, .En
glish and Scotchmuii—add probably
the most impecuniods ill the crowd
was James Gordon Bennett, He had
formerly boeu employed on the Cou
rier aud finquirer, as a Washington
correspondent; but the managing ed\
itor utid himself had a difficulty, and
he iiad been for some time out of a
situation, and wes, to all intents and
purposes, in a hard-up condition.
Mr. Nunn* the then celebrated pi*
aforte rtiiinufadtUrer, was a con
stant Visitor to the house, and, more
over, he was a fftend ta Bennett,
who, upon thfc night in question, ap
peared to be more tliaii Usually de
pressed in spirits.
“Take another toby of ale, old fel
low, and cheer up,” flttid Nunn, “it’B
a long lane with no turning, and who
knows hut you may he at the turn
ing part of your luck?”
“I don’t see any show for better
times, so far us I am concerned,” re
plied Bennott, gloomily.
It was then tile era for ;ienny pa
pers; two or which, the Sun and
transcript, hud been started in New
York, and were getting along swim
mingly.
“How much money Will it take to
start a paper the size of the Sun?*
inquired Nunn.
“If I had flve hundred dollars in
cash, l could do it,” replied Beqnett;
“Gentlemen,” said Nunn* uddrefis-
ing the assembled othnpany; “let ns
set Bennett Up. I’ll head the sub
scription with a hundred dollars.”
There was a cheerful response.
Old Tom Reynolds subscribed fifty,

made up and an article drawn, whore,

Walton County Videtto says:—
“There resides in this county One of
ihe most remarkable blind men we
ever heal'd of; mltiied Wright. When
five years of age a cow horned him
in the eye, putting it out} and soon
afterward he lost tile Bight df the
other through sympathy with the
wounded one. Nothing, dailnted}he
learned the wheelwright’s trade, and
to day tnukes as good a wagon or
buggy as anbody. He ‘lays off’ his
work just as other workmen do
using a sharp scratch awl-wind can
make as good a joint as any work
man. He married soon after he ob
tained his majority and has raised u
large family of children, lias bought
and paid for a good plantation by
working at his trade, and is one ol
the be3tand most successful farmers
in his neighborhood. He is to day
independent and still making money
as a wagon nlaker. He does all his
laying off in his Shop, and enjoys a
good patronage. His sense of touch
is simply wonderful. After the wood
work of a vehicle he makes is com
pleted he has it ironed, and is quick
to detect the least flaw about that
part of it. It is by means of his
acute sense of touch that he is en
abled to do much superior work.—
This case fully illustrates the truth
of the adage, ‘Where there’s a Will
there’s a way/ Nothing but an in
domitable will and untiring energy
could ever have accomplished these
results. He made i) proper use of
the talents given him and achieved
success—although blind us a stone.

bis arm up and asking he be rewar
ded with an office.” We were glad
to see that such unfeeling and un
sympathetic sentiments and unjus
tifiable denunciation, were not en
dorsed by those of his friends pres*
cut. The burst of passion fell still
born and invoked nothing but mur
murs ol indignation. Dr. Felton
certainly made a serious mistake
when he thought lie could bring L b-
lei’s une*arm into contempt. The
people cannot sympathise with such
an ungrateful remark. Judge Les
ter lost his arm lighting in defense
of his invaded country, while Felton
saved ins arm by remaining at home
in the rear. That empty sleeve
carries no dishonor with it. It is
fragrant with deeds of heroism and
daring. The people of the siinny
South when they see a one-armed
hero of the “lost cause” feel like
lifting their hats in l'everance as he
puasesj but Dr. Felton hurls epithetB
ol ridicule and derision. The crip
pled Confederate soldier is in the
wuy of his politiciul promotion, and
he feels no love for his wounds and
soli sacrifices. What old soldier of

ridicule of tlie “empty sleeve” by
rutiug for Eel ton against Lester?—
Will you say at the ballot-box the
Oth of November that his empty
sleeve is a badge of honor, or one
for Felton to hold up to public con
tempt aud fun-making? To con
detnn Lester because he cannot ap
pear before an audience with two
arms is to condemn the cause lie
lost his urms in, and to throw re
proach upon the dead heroes whose
mounds we meet annually to decor
ate with fragrant flowers. It will
not be consistent to strew flower
upon the graves of our dead soldiefs,
and ignore and insult the living
cripples. The dead cannot be ben
