HARD TIMES Our WEST. The Chicago
Tribune says the financial prospect is not
q satisfactory one. Throughout the north
west the general prosperity depends SO
largely upon the grain crop that the pres
ent low prices make everybody feel poor,
and have depressing effect upon all
branches Of business. 1t is probable that
this falls business will be done for very
small profits, and in many instances no
profits at all

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SENSES
A REMARKABLE CAsE.-In the last No.
of the lXutes' Chronicle. published at the
Deaf and Dumb Asylum in this city,
Superintendent Fay has the following in
teresting account of one of his pupils
named William E Morfer: "This pu-
pill, in his misfortune. illustrates the init
mate connection between the senses OF
hearing and seeing in their origin, Last
year, while pupil at the BliId Asylum,
he suddenly recovered his sight, with a
simultaneous loss of hearing and power of
speech. Accordingly, at the opening of
this term he was transferred to this insti-
tuition, and has been in al respects gen.
uine deaf mute Last Sunday he was
attacked with severe neuralgia pain in his
head and chest, resulting soon in perfect
restoration Of hearing and the loss ofsight
without even the power of raising the eye
lids. His faculty of speech has not re-
turned to him. buthe communicates by
the manual alphabet. He still suffers
considerable pain. "-G'olumbus Statesman

Father Hyacinthe.

This worthy and much pestered gentle
man desires the Tribune to say, in his
behalf. as follows:
Although thankful for the manifold to-
kens of sympathy received at the hands
of the American public. and which, in his
opinion, express more than mere curiosity,
the opportunities of professional inter
viewers have forced the Rev. Father to
give standing order to the hotel employ
ees not to bring up to his room the cards
of visitors. except those Of the few init
mate friends who always have free access
to him. He formally denies certain state
ments which have appeared from time to
time in some papers, as he has on no oc-
casion expressed views different from
those contained in his letter to the Gen
eral Of his Order in Rome, published in
the Tribune of the 18th instant
The Father states that until present at
the Geumenical Council in Rome he will
not express further his vier S and opinion;
that he never has meddled with politics
except so far as politics bear upon religion;
that he is and will be a true and fervent
Catholic, although opposed to extreme
measures and outre sentiments detrimen-
| tai to the welfare of the Church. He
requests that during his further stay in
the United States the public will extend
to him that courtesy due to every for
eigusr, and to leave his further actions
and movements unmatched and unrestrict-
ed that all his visits to different places
of worship, ETC.. are to be explained by
the natural desire of a stranger to see and
hear those whose names are celebrated.
