that he had discovered new and remarka-

and they gazed at it for hours until they
were mad, and then they began 10 teie

L0uisi0Na IsasfitNfi0ss for the
Deaf and Dumb.

BATON ROUGE, July 1873.
To the Police Jmies, the Municipal Authorities
and Friends of the Deaf and Dumb IN Loaisi-
ana:
The Trustees of the La. Institution for
the Education Of the Deaf and Dumb, call
vour attertion to this unfortunate class,
and the provision made for them by the
State in this Institution. All the Deaf be-
tween the ages of eight and twenty-five, OF
sound physical and mental constitutions,
will be admitted and provided with in
struction, board, lodging, medicine and
medical attendance at the expense OF the
Institution and all those in snch INDECENT
circumstances as shall appear by certifi-
cate of any member Of the police jury Of
the parish, or mayor of the city, where they
! reside, to render such aid necessary, VIII
also be furnished with clothing and travel
ing expenses to the Institution. The In
| stitution also affords mechanical depart
meut in which instruction is given IN such
trades as may be best suited to render the
pupils self-sustaining citizens. The educa-
| ton of the deaf is of peculiar Importance to
| them and to the State but from want OF
| information, indulgence or other reasons on
the part of parents, less than half in the
State avail themselves of the privileges
Afforded. This is all wrong; hence the
Trustees earnestly call the attention Of al
proper authorities to the duty of seeing
that all the deaf in their respective parishes
or cities, are informed of the privileges pro
vided, and that in cases of INDECENT circum
stances, means be provided for conveying
snch to this Institution. Proper provision
will be made for both white and colored.
In case of any deaf known at this lnsti
tuition to be in your city or parish, tn
names are appended to this letter. Shout
YOU know or learn of others, their address
is earnestly desired.

FISH JEwELRY.-A correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Gazette gives the following de-
scription of the fish jewelry which Den
mark contributed to the Vienna Exposition:
This jewelry is made exclusively OF the
bones and scales of fish. 1t is Just as dear
as If it was made'of gold, aud it is as high
" esteemed by the ladies of Copenhagen.
It is in many respects the most beautiful
GLASS of fine work we have seen. There are
earrings, bracelets and crosses, made OF
hne, delicate fish bones, white as the driv-
en- snow, and carved fine as gossamer web,
and embossed with beautiful bright red
and crimson fishes scales. There are also
large cases of fish jevelry, such as knives
forks, spoons, ladies, etc, carved in the
most exquisite patterns out of fishes bones
and ornamented with fishes scales.
