A Remarkable Blind Man.— James Rich
ard Golliday.of Bowling Green,Ky is now
36 years of age. When two years old one
eye was put out by a piece of rock) and
soou after the other one was put out by
being struck with an acorn by one of his
tittle playmates. He grew vigerously,
and ha* always enjoyed good health and
fine, spirits. He was educated at the Blind
Institute at L-uisvil-e, graduated with dis
tuiction, becoming especially pr* ficent in
mathematics. Determined to support him
self, he became a traveling peddlar of books.
He invested his gains in a book 6tore in
Bowlling Green, and was thriving until
1862, when his store was destroyed by
Federal soldiers. He afterward traveled
with a panarama, and f..nr years ago he
resumed bis store. He is noted for fores
ting in business, accuracy in counting
money and the adtuTab-e system of
store. He reconiz.-8 persons whom fie
knows by their footsteps. It is said that he
g.'es from his store to the railroad, buys
his ticket, rides to Louisville* travels ail
over the ti'y without a guide, and returns
alter transacting his bnsiaes* In spite of
his total life-long blindness, he has made
a small fortune, being one of the most re
markable illustrations on record of the
power of* will and tallant in trampling
over the meet mtkiijjii&ttl decrees of luck.
Gen- Lee’s Advice to his Son.
Hie f [lowing letter was written by Gen
end Lee to bis so long before the com
mencement of the war ;
Arlington House, April 5, 1852.
Dear son ; lam just in the act of
leaving home for New Mexico* My fine
old regiment has teen ordered to that r*-
ra te region, and 1 must hasten to see that
he men are properly taken care of* I
have but little to add in rejly to your let
ters of March 26 h, 27th and 2Sth. Yout’
letters breathe a tnao sp r v t of frank. 1
des; they hare given myself and 1 ydWr
mother great pie sure. You must study
to be frank with the world; frank:.ess is
tli • child of honesty and courage. Sny
what y u m* a > to do on every occhsob,
and lake it fdr gr nted you mean to do
right* If a Mend asks a f iVor you should
giant it if it is teasonable; if not, tell him
I lai >ly why y n cannot; you will w. ong
him «nd yourself by equivocation of any
kind. Never do a wrong thing to make a
friend or keep one; the man who requites
v u t > do so >s purchas and ;.t a sacrifice
Deal kindly but firmly with all your class
mat s* You wll find it the policy which
wears best. Ai ove all, do not appear to
others wh t you are not. If you have any
f<ultto fin 1 with any one, ted him, not
others ,of what you c mpl in. There is no
more dangerous experiment than that of ur»-
dertaki g to be one thing befue a man’s
face and another behind hi-t back. Wo
should live, act, and s;y nbtliieg to the
injury of a v one: It is rot oily best as
a matter of principle, but it is the path of
pcac •aid honor. In regard to duty, let
me, in conclusion t>this hasty lett r, in
form yn that no nly a hundred y ars ago
the e was a day of remarkable gl om and
darkness—still known ;>s the dark day —a
day who »the light of tlio sun w >s slowly
extinguished, as if by an eclipse. The
Legislatu e of Conn ctieut was in session,
and as its members saw the tmexpee'ed
and unaccountable darkness corning on,
they sli red in ibe general awe and terror*
It was supposed by many that the last day
—the day of judgment—had come.—
Sonde one, in the eonsteinat on of the hour*
ii, ntL n . »
an oFd Puiiram ie^Matow— or
Stamford —and said that f the last day
had come ho desired to bes und at his
plate anding b s duty, and therefore moved
th it candles be brought in so ilia' the house
ceuld proceed with its duty. There was
quietm ss in that man’s miiid—the quiet*
i ess < f heavenly wisdom and inflexible
willingness to obey present duty, Duty,
then, is the sublimes' word in our language:
Do your duty in all things, like the “Id
Puritan You cannot do more, you should
never wish to do less. Never let me and
your mother wen* one gay h «ii* for any
lack of du y on yonr pa t.”
“Your affectionate f ther,
R. E. Lee.”

Acting Governor Conley. —The Indi
an Springs Mirror gives the following
sketch of M -. Conley, which we consider
in the main, as a fair and impartial one,
stripped of all partisan embeUshment:
Antecedents of CoxLET.-Bulloek’s tem
porary successor, Benjiman Conley, is a
Northern man by birth, but a carbet-bag
ger. He came to this State fuoin Newark,
N. J., where he was born over thirty years
ago, and has been a resident <>f the South
ever since He oppose.! secession very
earnestly, and when t e war came on ho
retired from business and went to his
pla tation in Alabama, where he remained
till the fighting was over. He is now past
fifty years of age is i epuled a man of good
character, has fair ability, is an ardent
Republican j and bis fri nds claim that
when he retires from his present offices
will do so to the entire satisfaction of tho
people. As Mr. Conley’s sentiments wre
aga 11st the south rn cans * all th ough the
war, he does not come under the contempt
uous head of scalawag; yet owing to Lis
course sine - th re Is very little respect for
him anywh re. II has always aken an
ae ive nt rest in r 1 gious matters. When
he came to G orgia h was a Presbyter an*
but several years ago he joined the E is*
coal Church and has since been one of its
p liars in this State.
