A Paris Correspondent writes as follows:

A German philosopher has arrived in
Paris, for the pdrpose of introducing new
application of the art of conversing by signs.
The learned doctor, who is designated under
the euphonious cognomen of Krautz, has
passed many years OF his life in charge of an
asylum for the deaf and dumb, and il was in
this institution that the happy idea occurred
to him, Of founding a new system, which
should transmit TO posterity the name of
Krautz, with those of other. immortal in
ventors. --

permitted to dance with no partners except
those selected by her two overseers, and it is
with difficulty that gentlemen who knew
her before marriage obtained an opportunity
to exchange the ordinary formal and I'M
