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.

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.
