Milton's Blindness. t
[From the Columbia Phoenix.1
We should have been pleased to reeeive
the "friendly criticism" of R. T. G *
upon the authorship of the fine poem, <
"Old and Blind," which appeared in the J
Phoenix last Sunday, with the accompanying
statement that it had been included ?
in a recent Oxford edition of Milton's <
Works. This statement was copied, with- ,
out the poem itself, from some exchange. <
It is net unfamiliar to us, and we were 1
aware that itww an error to attribute it 1
to Milton. We hri indebted, however, to
the researches of R. T. G., for the inform!?

of Philadelphia. It may have originated ,
from the remark of Charles II., in the
shape of a question to the Duke of '
Tone, "Is be sot old and blind?" but i
we have always supposed that it was ,
suggested by the noble invocation to .
light, in the opening of the third book '
of Paradise Lost. Milton has made a i
sublime and pathetic use of the circum- ,
stances of his blindness, and Gray, in a
kplendid poetipdescription of its cause, 1
has attributed ft to "excess of light," en 1
countered in exploring the secrets of the ]
other world. It will be interesting to' {
compare the paaags to which we have re
ferred with the poem, which is so like it 1

The Han's Might, }
Professor Proctor, in a recent lec- j
ture on tile son, said:
"Now let as consider the might that
resides in the sun. If the sun were
a mere quantity of matter very much
larger than the earth, as we see he is,
there would stfll not be the force necessary
to (he sun as a ruler over the
earth. Lei me give you an idea of
how large the sun is. I am in the habit
hi England, when I wish to speak
of the sise vi the sun, of informing my
audience that this country, (England)
in which we live, which seems to us so
large, is nevertheless very small by
comparison with the earth, for if the
earth were one inch in diameter, England
wooUl be a small triangular speck
which you could scarcely recognise.?
Bat I am afraid that to an American
audiencrfhst comparison would be imperfect.
In fact, I have heard that au
American traveling in England found
the orantry so small that he at once i
th? wntral counties, and was t
even then afraid to go jut in the eve- ^
ning for fear of falling off the little island.
(Laughter.)
''We, en England, whether it be the t
natural courage of our disposition or |
the effect of long habit, are not troa- '
bled with-that feeling. But yet, Ameri- i
ea ia no small compared with the suu}
that if there were a spot npon the sun t
as large as the whole of America, it t
would be quite invisible to the uaked t
eye. Indeed, if an object as large as ^
the earth were placed immediately be- Q
fore the sun, and there appeared as a
black dine, rt would nevertheless require ^
a large telescope to make it visible;
107 timee does the sin's diameter ex- tj
ceed that of the earth, and the surface
of the ion exceeds that of the eart 107
times 107 times, or 11,000 times, while f<
the volume of the sun exceeds that of '
the earth tf25U,UW times, uut me
m*? of the sun i9 not so much greater a
than the earth. It would appear as <
though the body of the inn were conati- b
tuted of matter about a quarter light- ti
er on an average tban that which constitutes
the earth, and the result is that w
the sun's mass, instead of exceeding g
the mass of the earth, 1,260,000 times, ^
only exceeds it 316,000 times; but only
consider 4hat that means! If this hi
earth were to grow in density until its m

hen a half-ounce weight?one of those
fhich are used to balance our lettersrould
weigh 4| tons. A man of average
weight would be drawn to the
jarth at a weight of 20,000 tons.?
"object raised from the earth a single
inch would, in falling that short
iistance, acquire a velocity three times
greater than that of an express train.
Such is the might with which the *sun
rules this earth."
Mr. Finlay's New Head of Hair.
?Here is something remarkable : A
woman in New Haven was recently
bereft of her scalp by the idiosyncra*
*- i l-u rri. _
nes ot a snait ana oeu. iuc uwwiu
jaw that to remedy the evil they would
iave to resort to transplanting, and so
they actually succeeded in getting a
sufficient number of pieces from other
people's heads to give this unfortunate
voman a new scalp. We hope those
Sew Haven doctors used more discretion
than did he who attended a man
lamed Finlay, who met with a similar
iccident in Oriskany, N. Y,, some
thirteen years ago. Bits of scalp from
teventeen different persons were se;ured
by this doctor, and adroitly
ititched to the head of Mr. Finlay.?
Arhen it was done, people came miles
o see Finlay's head, and Finlay himaIiaaIfaw
ovoninm
>CU) THU U1B VUCVUU "k'VOi u vi uiuwuij
vas the happiest man in Oriskany.?
3ut when the capillary glands got in
rorking order, and the hair commened
to grow, the top of the man's
lead presented the most extraordinary
ppearance on record. The doctor, who
ras about half the time in liquor, had
onsulted expediency rather than judgment,
and secured that new scalp
rithout any reference to future develpments.
We never saw anything like
t. Here was a tuft of yellow hair,
nd next to it a bit of black, and then
flame of red, and a little like silk,
nd more like tow, with brown hair,
nd gray hair, and sandy hair, and
ream-colored hair scattered over his
ntire skull. And what a mad man
"inlay was, and nobody could blame
lim. He would stand up against the
>arn for an hour at a time and swear.
t was very fortunate that the doctor
ras dead. He went off two weeks beore
with blue ague, which is a sort of
nild disease. Finlay kept his hair cut
hort, but that didn't make any differmce.
Then he tried dyes, but they
>nly-made matters worse. Then he
jot a wig, and this covered up the
leformiiy; but sometimes at church he
proilld get asleep, and the wig would
fall off and make the children cry.?
Once at the County fair he fell asleep
md the wig dropped off, and the Committee
on Domestic Goods, when they
jame around, stood in front of Finlay's
head for some time in rapt delight.?
rhey then immediately decided that it
was the most ingenious piece of patchwork
in the list, and never discovered
the mistake until they attempted to
-2? ? ???i 1 a? U A a il.t

Finlay awoke, knocked down the chairnan
of the committee, and chased the
jtbers out of the building. We hope
those New Haven doctore have been
nore particular, as it is not a subject
:o trifle with.?Banbury Nnvs.
About Whales and Cables.?The
-ecent break in the submarine India
able between Kurrachee and Gwadur
vas caused by a whale. On winding
n the cable unusual resistance was
experienced. After persevering, the
)ody of an immense whale, entangled in
he cable, was brought to the surface,
bund to be firmly secured by 2 J turns
>f the cable immediately above the
ail. Sharks and other fish had parially
eaten the body, which was rapidy
decomposing, the jaws falling away
>n reaching the surface. The tail measired
12 feet across, was perfect, and
overed with barnacles at the extremiies.
Apparently the whale was, at
he time of engtanlement using the cable
o free itself from parasites, such as
arnacles, which anuoy them very
such, and the cable hanging in a loop
ver a submarine precipice, he probaly
with a fillip of his tail twisted it
round him, and thus came to an unimely
end.
Two Irishmen were in prison? one
)r stealing a cow, the other for
tealing a watch. "Hallo, Mike, and
ore, what o'clock is it?" said the cow
tealer. "An sure," said the watch
tealer. "I've no time piece handy,
at suppose it's jist about milking
me." . i
A little boy was recently presented 1
ith a toy trumpet' to which he became
reatly attached. One night when
s was about to be put in his "little
sd/' and was ready to say his prayers I
e handed the trumpet to his grand- <
lother saying.* j"Here gran'ma you
tow while I pray." |]
"Kid Necks"?The New Femali
Deceit.?It is really no wonder thai
the "opposite sex" occasionally bursl
forth into plaintive reproach, and up
braid false fair ones for the man}
means resorted to in order to deceiv<
thenh For, in the contest for the priz<
awarded by Paris to the most beauti
ful, deceits are invented and boldlj
worn, such as are sometimes almost to<
astounding for belief. Years ago w<
remember hearing of a French singe]
at a cafe chantant, whose husband, 01
being complimented upon the dazzling
fairness on his wife's neck, lifted off i
pair of shoulders of painted wax so ar
ranged as to be easily adiustible!?
o ? But
that any of our belles should con
sent to the paltry deception of wearing
kid necks, made in Berlin and in Parii
and sent, with a vast mystery, to thi
beauty, ambitious of a full, round necl
and shoulders, is something that almos
needs to be ''seen to be believed."?
Yet this is done. Let us fancy meetin<
one at a ball, whose tuttle scarf, dex
terously wrapped about the throat ant
carelessly thrown back so as to forn
pendent ends over her back, serves on
ly to soften^the gloss and enhance th<
symmetfy of what seems to her daz
zled observer a superb pair of shoulders
Fancy him discovering afterwards
when said lady has become a bride
that those shoulders were but a drear
?made of kid! That is worse than
nightmare, and it would seem that
even a very Bayard could hardly say
''False one I love thee still!"
A Singular Custom.?There ha
been some excitement of late about th
case of a shepherd in Somersetshire
(Eng.) who was sentenced in the sum
mer to six months hard labor for Stealing
hia maefpr'a lamba. TTia rlpfpna.
was that the lambs were "surplus'
lambs?the results, that is to say, o
some exceptional fecundity on the pari
of ccrt^n ewes?and that they were t
customary shepherd's perquisite. Th<
evidence before the magistrates, wen
against the existence of the custom
and the shepherd was convicted ac
cordingiy; His return to liberty wa
made the occasion of a demonstration
and the man was presented with i
purse of money, to which, it is said
Mr. Morley, M. P., contributed.
Provided.?A few days ago a fas
cinating young lady, wishing to vis
Lynchburg at the time of the mectlnj
of the stockholders in that city, forgel
ting she was addressing an eligibl
widower in the person ot an acquain
tance, asked him if he could loan' he
a certificate of stock entitling her t
a free ride over the railroad. "Ccr
tainly," he replied, "provided you ar
willing to travel under my name."?
With the blush which mantled her cheel
came the posing retort, "Thank you
sir; I will consider your proposai-"If
a suit for damages grows out of th
"proposal" cited, the railroad ough
to be made a party, defendant am
mulcted in the sum of #10,000.
On the evening train from Albany
recently, was a woman bound for Wes
field, who persisted in requesting th
affable conductor to inform her whei
Chester was reached. Every time whei
the conductor passed through the car

man though he is, even his patienc<
was finally exhausted, and he politeb
iequested the unfortunate female t<
maintain silence, as he had heard anc
would heed her injunction. Chestei
was finally reached, and "Chester*
was yelled at the car doer. The trair
again started, and the conductor mounted
the car in which was his persecu
tor. Will you tell me when we get t(
Chester," she said, "This is Chester,'
he exclaimed, and, grasping 4the bellrope,
he had the train back to the station.
'I'm real glad you obliged me,"
said the daughter of Eve to the exasperated
conductor. "My husband used
to live here."
At a recent Masonic initiation in
South Africa a powerful earthquake

candidate ran out of the building.?
When they returned they asked him

Dr. J. Walker's California
Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from
the native herbs found on the lower \
ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains
of California, the medicifial
properties of which are extracted
therefrom without the use of Alcohol.
The question is almost daily asked,
"What is the cause of the unparnllelpd
snrep.as of VINEGAR BIT- 1
TiRSf" Oar answer is, that they 1
romov& the cause of disease, and *
the patient recovers his health. They
are the great blood purifier aud a
life-giving principle, a perfect Kcno- '
vator and Invigorator of the system.
Never before in the history of the world
has a medicine been compounded possessing
the remarkable qualities of Via- i
boar Bitters in healing the sick of
every disease man is heir to. They are i
a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, 1
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious
Diseases
The properties of Dr. WalkBr's
Vinbgab Bittbrs are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative,
Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-irritant,
Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious.
Grateful Thonsands proclaim
Vinegar Bitters the most wonderful
Invigorant that ever sustained
the sinking system."
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain
long unwell, provided their

poison or other means, and vital organs
wasted beyond repair.
Bilious, Remittent, and Intermittent
Fevers, which are so
prevalent in the valleys of our great
rivers throughout the United States,
especially those of the Mississippi,
Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee,
Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado,
Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl,
Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke,
James, and many others,
with their vast tributaries, throughout
our entire country during the
Summer and Autumn, and remarkably
so during seasons of unusual
heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied
by extensive derangements
of the stomach and liver, and
other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a
powerful influence upon these various
organs, is essentially necessary.
There is no cathartic for the purpose
equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar
Hitters, as they will speedily remove
the dark-colored viscid matter with which
the bowels are loaded, at the same time
stimulation the secretions of Jho liver,
and generally restoring the healthy functions
of the digestive organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with
Vinegar Hitters. No epidemic can
take hold of a system thus ioro-armed.
Dysperoia or Indigestion. Headache,
Pain in the Shoulders, UoukLs,
Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness, Sour
Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
in tho Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation
of the Heart, Inflammation of the (
Lungs, Pain in the region of tho Kidneys,
nod a hundred other painful symptoms,
are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle
will prove a better guarantee of its
merits than a lengthy advertisement.
Scrofula, or King's Evil, White
Swellings, ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled .
Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations,
Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial affections.
Old Sores. Emotions of the Skin.
Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other
constitutional Diseases, "Walker's Vinegar
Bittkbs have shown their great curative
powers in the most obstinate and 1
intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
It lieum nt ism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent
and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases 1
of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, '
these Bitters have no equal. Such Dis- I
eases are caused by Vitiated Blood. <
Mechanical Diseases.?Persona

Por Female Complaints, in young <
or old, married or single, at the dawn of
womanhood, or the turn of life, these Ton- I
ic Bitters display so decided an inflaence
that improvement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood i
whenever yon hud its imparities banting
through the skin in Pimples, Eruptione, J
or Sorei; cleanse it when you find it obstructed
and sluggish in the veins; cleanse
it when it is foul; your feelings will tell
you when. Keep the blood pure, and the
health of the svstem will follow.
