Mr. Gale, who is a blind man, was not trained in the ordin- ary way, at school especially_ for the blind, bus by dictation of the knowl- edge to be imparted, and without being made to feel that he belonged a seper- ate class, and his biographer -contends that there is no insuperable difficulty in a blind boy being educatedin An ordin- ary school -that he can read, cipher, and even write from dictation with his class. Of the many blind men who have distinguished themselves, hardly one is known to have been educated at a school designed exclusively for the sightless ; and not one in twenty of those sd educated in Paris iS able to earn a living. As the result of the independant mode of training by which the .students, powers are very much stimula ed. Mr. , Gale has ridden a horse race, ' -and WOn: • it. Returning once in a.- car ier's van from Plyinthith to Tavistock, when the driver lost his way through' .,the dark- ness:of the nights his acute sense of hearing enabled him to detect the .fact 1 that they were on the wron road and te lead them into the right one., Be has kiceeded in concealing his blindness so effectually, that*has actially acted as a guide to more than One person • wild, happened to be sinacqua.nted with the locality, and concealed ' e fact of his 'blindness until the journey had been. concluded. He had ridd n a blind horse over several miles of gjround an .1 he has even shot pigeons at shooting match,: He posseses remarkable shrewd- ness and energy in business , affairs, and is widely'. known in Englan' anthropist.

Latest *deal& intelligence from England expresses the belief that mag- nesium, bynew procseses of manufacture about to be introduced, will be brought down to a shilling an ounce retail. At this price its uite in lamps, in the shape of ribbon of the thickness -of heav-y pa- per and a tenth of an inch wide, will be decidedly economioal. The supply of magnesium -ores and ether compounds is unlimited. Dolomite, one , of the commonest rocks in the Southron, states and extending in a vast range through •New - Jersey, New York, • Western Massachiasitts and Vermont into Can- ada, 46-65 parts of carnolsate of lime. • From the magnesium carbonate the chloride is prepared, and from thatthe metal is eliminated ; or the chloride of magnesium can be obtained direct from sea water, and then. reduced to metal by the usual process. 'It is estimated that a ton of sea water contains two pounds of the metal. • The sources of supply are thus _ shewn to abound all about us, and the only question invol- ved in the use of the metal for illumin- ating purposes is that of the cost, and that question, as we learn is on the point of ming satisfactmily answered. As our readers',.may not uniserstand the wo king of the smagnesiem light, I. we wil explain that the min etal, the form o a thth ribbon., wsighing but little more, for its bulk, than a delicate v, oed shaving or a strip of writing pa- per, is coiled about a drum, and fed by simple clockwork in the flame of a small alcohol lamp. The heat of the, flame ignites the metal, and it burns slowly and regularly with the purest imageible white light equal to seventy-four stear- ine candles and upwards, according to the size of the ribbon. As it has the essential characteristic the actine pow- er) of thesolar rays, photographs are easily ;taken by it. itis, in fact, an imitation of daylight, and therefore specially adapted to the eyes : whereas, the ordinary gas is known to be highly najurous to those organs. • . • • So soon as magnesium can be fur- nished cheaply enough. Yankee ingen- ity may be trusted to invent some still cheaper aPparatus for burning- it. It takes but -little faith to look with con- fidence to the introduction of the mag- nesium light (unless a better one can be introduced) as a common substitute for gas. -That man is not rash who would predict that at soine day, perhaps not far off, gas will become as obsolete as rushlighte now are in civilized corn- munities.'----r N. Y. Journal ofCommerae. ial, when ftom fine like other Feats of a Reporter. The late Mr. Raymond, Of the.New York Times, when on the staff 'of the Tribune, acquir6c1 a most clikinguished • reputation as a reporter, illuminated- by two or three extraordinary ach'eve- sments. One one -occasion (this wa.4 be- fore the daysof the telege•aph), Mi Raymond undertook to report fioin • Boston, a' . speech of .Daniel Webster, then in the full blaze of his career. ale rival dailies of New York each teri.-t two 'short -hand,' or phonogaphic reporters, to Work against Mr. Ray- mond, -who was a stranger to their art. His Method of reporting was an abbre- viated 'long hand,' of bis owninvention, whiela nobody besides himself, lacking his alnaost raarvellous rapidity in pen- • manship, has been able to imitate. Mr. Webster's Speeeh was one of the fl;). est he ever delivered. Hurrying, afte its conclusion, to the wharf at Boston :the , several New York reporters, Mr. *a,y-- mond among theuk, took passage on the night boat for New York. Every re- porter besides the indefatigable young man of the Tribune. perceiving thel fin: - possibility of getting aci long a speech. 'in type' after the boat's arrival in time for the next morning's papers, disposes1 themselves at their ease to enjoy their trip 'home. Mr. Raymond was missed, but his absence in the rear cabin Was not .considered ' singular until late b.t night; Then. one of his . rivals made the astounding discovery that the steam- • boat contained a small printing o-ffice at Mr. Raymond's exclusive *service, and that the tTribteite man' wasreeling off copy at a tremendous rate, which was iis promptly taken in hand and 'set -up' by the compositors along with 'him. When the boat --arrived, late inl the morning, .),, Daniel Webster's , entire speech, reported by Mr..Rarnond, wai6 in type.

MESSRS -YOuNG & (IIAKBERLIN,-.S Ts, I feel it a duty I owe toj you, as well as to the public to inform you of the most woud.erful cure of Consumption, ;accoinplished in my person, by the uso. of the Great Shoshonees Remedy and Pills. I :coughed a great deal day and night, expectorating it great quanti- ty of matter, and had 'a greatpaan about my left lung. I had cold chills every day, and severe night sweats every night, and between the racking cough and great sweating, I was ahnost deprived of sleep ; by these miseries as well as theloss of appetite, I was so re- duced that I could hardly stand alone. I was under the care of a physician for a length of time, and finding no relief, I -tried different receipes, but all without any 'good effect. Squire- Peterson of Bath, re- commended me to use the Great Shoshonees Remedy; I procured three bottles at once, with the Pills, so sbon ae I commenced using it I began to get better, iind when I had fin- ished this complement, the ceugh, expectora- tion of matter, pain abehet--the lung, chills, sweating, &c., left me ; and by continuing its use I became strong and healthy. It is now over two months since I quit the reme- dy, and there ha-ve been no symptoms of the disease returning, and I have been, and am now, healthier - and better than I have been • for years.," 1 trust you will make this known to the public, that they may he awate of the peculiar virtues of this truly wonderful In- dian Remedy. - PETER C.
