The Blind See.
‘A CURIOUS CASE OF RECOVERY OF SIGHT IN ANSWER TO PRAYER. .
Mr, Wm. Orcutt, who liyes in Hudson, N. Y., told a reporter the other day of the extraordinary manner in which he was ,cured of a painful disease of the eyes, that jhad practically made him blind for four jyears. During this time he suffered ter- iribly, and was all the time under the best ‘medical treatment he could procure. At | various times seventeen medical men were jengaged on his case, including the best }Oculists of this city. They did not give him the slightest relief. One day as he ‘was sitting in bis darkened room, he over- heard his wife tell a friend that the family did not expect William to recover, but they {did not tell him so, because he still had ‘hopes of getting well. He was shocked ‘by what he heard, for he never once lost hope of regaining his eyesight. |He staggered to his bedside, and falling upon his knees prayed as he had never prayed before that God would restore his sight. Suddenly he heard a voice saying “Get some clay.” He was almost overcome | when he heard the voice, but he had no ; doubt whatever that the words were an answer to his prayer. His uncle procured ‘some clay forhim. His wife objected to ‘his making any use of the clay, and for |five days he kept it under the stove, not ‘knowing how it would be best to apply it. ,He prayed earnestly for guidance in the ‘matter, and on the fifth day, ashe was sitting in his room, he heard the voice ‘again. It distinctly said, ‘‘Get the clay.” |He procured the pieces from under the stove and found that they had been baked |hard, in which condition, as he afterwards found, the clay could be most effectively | applied. He placed the clay in contact with each eyelid. Itstuck to them like (leeches, and finally could not be removed except by using considerable force. The removal of the clay was followed by the complete restoration of sight.—N. Y. Sun,

The Face of the Moon.
MEANING OF THOSE GREAT IRREGULAR STREAKS.
The moon’s face, says Mr. Richard A. Proctor, tells us of a remote youth—a time of fiery activity, when volcanic action even more effective (though not probably more energetic) than any which has ever taken place on this globe, uvheaved the moon’s crust. But so soon as we consider care fully the features of her surface we see that there must have been three well marked eras of vulcanian activity. Look at the multidudinous craters for example around | the metropolitan crater Tycho, They tell jus of century after century of volcanic dis- ‘turbances—but they tell us more. They mark a surface which varies in texture, and therefore in light reflecting power in such a way as to show that the variations were produced long before the volcanic action began by which the craters were formed. For the variations of texture are such as to mark a series of streaks—some of them two or three thousand miles in length and many miles in hreadth, extending radially from Tycho. Craters lie indifferently on these brighter streaks and on the intervening darker spaces, and some craters can be seen which lie right across a bright streak, with parts of their ring on the darker regions on both sides of the streak. Of course, this proves that the craters were formed long after the great streaks. When the streaked surface was formed it must have been tolerably smooth, for we see the streaks best under a full illumination, and there is no sign of any difference of illumination between them and the darker ground all around; they are neither long ridges nor long valleys, but mere surface markings. Yet must they have been form- ed by mighty vulcanian disturbance, such, indeed, as we may be certain went on at the early stage of the moon's history, to which these radiating streaks must be referred. It seems clear that,as Nasmith has illustrat- ed by experiment, they belong to that stage of the moon’s history when her stil! hot and plastic crust parted with its heat more rapidly than the nucleus of the planet, and |80, Coltraciing more quickly, was rept by the resistence of the internal matter, which stili hot and mo'ten, flowed into the rents, ond epreaai..g formed the long bruad streaks vf brighter surface.

| North German Gazette, a large quantity of | skylight and window glass was smashed, a |thick iron rail on the bridge was wrenched | off, a funnel was snapped in two, the deck | Was strewn with coal jerked up from the ,coal bunker, some wooden furmiture was ‘shattered into splinters, ‘‘which the gen- ‘tHemen could put in their - pockets and carry away with them as me- mentos of the occasion,” while one of the vidifors was knocked down. The same fate -wowld certainly have befallen others had they not held with steadfast determination ‘to rails and. tackle. The greatest effect was naturally produced when the four big guns were fired together. The cannon |being loaded, the turrets, for safety’s ‘sake, were cleared of the men, and then ‘on & given signal one solitary gunner | pulled with all his might at the end of four long cords which had been atteched to a bar. The shock was tremendous, and | the damage in smashed glass, wrench- \ing off of iron rails, and disturbed coal- bunkers, ete, was immense, How the Chinese are to face the French or any other foe with such disastrous guns is a question | well worthy of theit cdnsideration.” *‘Truly 'a triumph of German industry,” writes the naval correspondent of the North German Gazette with reference to the fact that the Ting Yuen, or ‘Everlasting Peace,” was put together at Stettin.

Italian Storms.
Startling accounts have been received of the storms that have eccurred in the north of italy. At Varese a hailstorm, lasting a quarter of an hour, covered the town and the surrounding country with a layer of ice ‘several inches deep. The hailstones were the size of walnuts. The maize and the grapes were conpletely destroyed. The wind uprooted a number of trees, and blew away the roofs of several farm houses. Many peasants have lost their all. Jia the Commune of Dayerio a farm house fell, burying three of the inmates in the ruins, and gravely injuring four others. An old woman, overtaken by the storm on the road between Verese and Bisnschio. was beaten down by the hail and rain, and expired. A number of peasants were more or less injured, and many fow!s, goats, and even some cows were killed. The valley of Intelvi was also ravaged by a terrible hail- storm, which utterly destroyed the crops. The trees were stripped of their leaves. At Sampicrdarena, near Genoa, considerable alarm was raised by a waterspout bursting on the beach. The sheds of the bathers were blown away, leaving many of the occupants in an embarrassing state of desha- bille. One of the servants of the bathing establishment had his arm broken.

A Remarkable Passage.
Says the San Francisco Alta California of July 27th.—The recent passage of the British ship ‘‘Kambira‘”’ from Rio, in 68 days, is a remarkable one and has seldom been excelled. The British ship ‘King Cerdic” arrived here September 7th, in 67 days, and the American ship “Storm King” arrived here December 30th, 1880, in 65 days, the latter being, to the best of our recollection, the best on record; The passage of the ‘‘Kambira” is well worthy of notice, and a brief description of the vesse] is inorder. She was launched in Kingsport, N. 8., in the month of October, and proceeded to St. John, where. she joaded for Liverpool. On arrival at ‘that port she was coppered, loaded coal for Rio Janeiro, was 46 days from Liverpool to Rio and 69 days from Rio to this port, making one of the fastest passages on record from that port. From the looks of the ship alow and aloft, we must say the captain’ and officers deserve great credit for the fine appearance of everything aboard. We must aleo note that this ship is owned by Mr. C. B Burgess and others, who also own the British barque ‘‘Recovery,” that ar- rived here from Montivideo last year in 65 days.
—-_- Before and After Marriage.
Before marriage—‘‘Excuse me George. Did my parasol hurt you.
“Oh, no, my dear. It would be a pleas- ure if it did.”
After’ a marriage — ‘‘ Great heavens! There was nevera woman underthe sun that knew how to carry a parasol without scratching a fellow’s eye out.”
‘‘And there was never a man that knew enough to walk onthe right side of a woman with a parasol.”
“There isn’t any right side toa woman with a parasol.”
