ANOTHER LAURA BRIDCMAN-A cores
pondent of the Detroit Daily AdrerttSer says
he has in his hands letter from Fall River
Mass, giving in detail the following facts
relative to most remarkable girl named
Ably A. Dillingham;. The letter says:
II think her one of the wonders of the
age. She is deaf dumb, and blind, and has
no use of her right limbs, yet she will con-
verse fueutly with the mute alphabet, writes
very legibly with her left hand, reads COM
mon writing, on paper, or slate, or print,
(if the book be not to much worm by pass
ing her fingers over the words. She will
also distinguish the different colors of a va
riegated dress in the came way. She has
wrought several pieces of cruel work that
would be credit to any girl Of her age, Sc
lecting and arranging all the colorS by feel
ing, and using only her left hand. She
plays drafts and backgammon expertly-
She knows when one comes into the room
by the jar Of the bed, (on which she con-
stantly lies) and can in this way distinguish
the different members of the family"
She possessed the usual bodily faculties
till she was eight years Of age, when a severe
fall brought on a disease of the spine, uti.
mating in fits, and the deprivation of sight,
hearing and speech She lies on her back,
and is moved once in four or five weeks
Great care needs to be taken to avoid shak,
ing the bed much, for this would throw her
at once into fit.
She is very sprightly and playful. When
ever she is moved, she goes into ft 1t
requires four men, who, raise her up as
gently as possible, while others remove the
bed and replace another. This is usually
done at noon. AS soon as she is stirred a
fit comes on, which lasts till some time in
the night, gradually passing off into natu-
raj sleep, and she wakes quite bright in the
morning. 1t takes her day or two, how
ever, to get used to her new bed.
My informant has visited her, and says
"She wrote on slate in my presence. The
slate lay on her breast, and she wrote with
her left hand, over the top of the slate, the
lines running parallel with her body" HI
enclosed me her autograph, written with {
lead pencil on the margin of a newspaper
1t is very good, though not evidently writ
ten as a trial of penmanShip, for there arr
various scribbles on the slip-her first name
four times, for instance. 1t was evidently
written to pass away the time, and not tC
exhibit her proficiency in writing.
She seems to have been instructed by hel
own family The case seems to me quite a
wonderful as any have seen related to th,
public. She has health and strength to ait
In her intellectual efforts. 1t is not merely
against sight, hearing and speech that sh'
labors. but against fits, and the paralysis o
one half her body.

PARTING CoMPLIMENTs.-It is seldom, says
the Wsde West, we have an opportunity of
reading a really earnest and sincere notice
of departing first citizen The following,
however, is evidently written by one who
feels every sentiment it contains. 1t is from
the Herald, and is quite refreshing when con-
traSted with the adulatory nonsense which
accompanies the announcement of the same
event in the Sun Of this city, and State
Journal of Sacramento:
John Bigler, Assemblyman, Speaker of
Assembly, and afterwards Governor of the
State for four years, leaves on the steamer
of to-day for the East We would rejoice
at his departure if his potency for evil had
not long since departed. A worse chief
magistrate never sat as an incubus on the
rising destinies of young State;-a more
unworthy official never disgraced a Repub-
lican Government-a more discreditable
partisan never claimed affiliation with the
Democratic party. In each capacity he has
betrayed every trust confided to him. We
can only hope that by his departure to-day
the State Of California may be finally ex-
purgated Of one who by adyentitious circum-
stances has been enabled to do much to re-
tard her prosperity.

A Card Player.

An epitaph is said to be mans last vanity.
The following on a card-player shows quite al
effort of the punster's skill 1t appears in an ex
change:
Poor Jack thy merry heart is still,
Thy voice is silent too;
Thy hand played Out, thy tricks are Ger,
Thy game of life is through.
With all, thou hast most fairly dealt,
And none could call thee kndue-
But thou hast "shu6led off the coil"
And this spot is thy grave.
We know it was thy pleasure oft,
At Loo" and "Whist" to win
Black cards (not guards,) thy fav'rites were
But spades last took thee in
But Deaths relentless hand cuts of
Both high and loao the same;
But thee, despite thine honors fair.
He took Jack and the game!
Ne'er till the last trump calls thee out
Poor John, shalt thou arise!
But like the diamond. clothed in light
Thy soul shalt seek the skies.

man hit his toe against pebble and fell
headlong to the ground. lie was yeXed,

self suf1icency, he kicked old mother earth
right saucily. With imperturble gravity he
looked to see the globe itself dissolve and
come to naught. But the earth remained,

encounter This is the way Of man. An
article in a newspaper scratches him in
weak spot and straghtway he sends to stop
his paper. With great self-complacency he
looks to see a crash, when the object Of his
spleen shall cease to be- Poor fool he
has only hit his own toe against a world

injuries to the extent any one but himself.
