The Dumb Speak.

N. o. Bulletin, May 6th.l
There are few who. perhaps have
not heard or read of the wonderful
freaks of thunderbolts, and the Gu
rlous effect of the vibration follow
ing, but no where has there occurred
a more wonderful case than in the
Fourth District of our city during
the last storm. A colored man re
siding in the suburbs Of our city has
been since bis birth unable to hear
or utter a word.
Dlring the long years Of his life
no arncuIate sound has passed his
lips, and apparently he was insensiole
to the most dealening reports. Years
have passed since any attempt has
been made to cure this defect, and he
was given up as hopelessly incurable
and Seai and dumb Ior life.
Monday afternoon, during the
heavy rain which flooded our streets,
a sudden fash of Tightening occurred,
followed Immediately by o roll of
thunder, and il was thought by most
of those in that neighborhood that
some residence had been struck. No
alarm sounding, little heed was given
to it save in one house, and that was
where the man lived.
No sooner had the far>eff echoes Of
the thunder died away in the distance,
than the dumb man of thirt, years
began TO spe k, and the tongue which
had never given forth sound. to ut.
ter the uncouth syllables Of an un>
known language.
Naturally the household were filled
with amazement, and as soon as the
news of the mans strange recovery
of his speech was spread, the neigh
borhood was all agog.
What actually effected this won,
derful cure IS difficult to say. The
vibration Of heavy roll of thunder
is plainly percep,ible to any one, and
it may be that the sound.waves sew
cred some interior abnormal mem-
brane of the ear. thus allowing sound
to enter, and when sound entered the
tongue performed its proper func~
tions. Cases not unlike this have
been known before. but the subjects
have generally been children. A
sensation ike this has not occurred
in this city for many day.

A MYSTERIOUS HAND. A most re-
markable curiosity has been discover
ed in the western part OF Gibson
county. not far from YorkvilIe. A
week or two ago, gentlemen and his
wife had occasion TO ride by a neg
lected country graveyard, where also
stood an ole dilapidated church. As
they were passing, the lady attention
was attracted by peculiar bunch of
mistletoe growing upon bush in the
graveyard, and in obedience to her
request, the gentleman stopped to
procure it; and in doing so, he cut off
the limb to which it. was attached,
and very soon discovered that the
mistletoe was seemingly beld by what
appeared to lie q wooden hand. Upon
removing the mistletoe and examin-
ing the curiosity, it was found to be
a most perfect imitation of human
hand, about as large as that of boy
five or six years old. The largest
limb or branch forming the wrist, the
palm being fiat end Of perfect shape,
showing the wrinkles, etc, and the
thumb and four fingers each in proper
place and of proportionate lengths,
rounded at the ends and showing an
unmistakable indenture for a perfect
nail on each. Every joint of the
thumb and fingers is as plain and di.-
tinct as those Of the human hand, the
only solitary departure from a perfect
hand being in the first joint of the
thumb, this joint being little longer
than the others. The hand, as it grew
upon the bush, seemed stretched to-
ward heaven in an imploring manner,
at the same time partially grasping
the bunch Of mistletoe. And TO make
it still more interesting, it was dis
coverd, upon examination, that the
bush grew upon, or near the grave Of
very worthy Methodist minister.
Who had been buried there years ago.
The hand was on exhibition at Union
City, last week. and by request of the
medical faculty at Nashville, will he
taken there for a thorough examinss
lion. Whatever theories may be sug-
gested in explanation of this mysieri-
ous departure from the natural laws
which govern the vegetable world.
and however lightly it may be passed
by as a merely accidental growth, il
it is certainly one Of the most remark
able freaks Of nature upon record.

HABIT trust everything under
Cod said Lord Brougham, ito habit.
upon which, in all ages, the lawgiver,
as well as the schoolmaster, has main
ly placed his reliance; habit, which
makes everything easy, and casts all
difficulties upon the deviation from a
wonted course. Make sobriety a
habit, and iBtemperance will be hate.
fol make prudence a habit, and
reckless profigacy will be as contra/
ry to the nature Of the child, grown
or adult, as the most atrocious crimes
are to any Of your lordships. Give
a child the habit OF sacredIy regards
ing the truth of carefully respecting
the property of others; Of scrupu-
lously abstainins from all acts of i'm
providence which can involve him in
distress, and he will just as likely
think of rushing into IN element in
which he cannot breathe, as of lying.

A HARD BED TO rILL.-The junior
editor OF the GalIatin-is noted
for bis modesty. When schoolboys,
he and the writer we're inseparable
companions, probably because wo
both stood in such holy awe Of "tlie
gals" A pair of mischievous black
eyes would stampede US quicker than
big dog" One day Bob" was
sent to negbbor Shaw's to inquire
about some straw for filing his beds,
AID of course tie writer went with
him. Mr.. Shaw, was the iather of
six hateful girls that would rather
laugh at fellow than not, and when
we arrived they were all seated at
dinner. lodged behind the corner,
while Bob edged cal efnlly in at the
end, with scared look, stammered
"Mr. Straw, can yoH let me have
enough Shaw TO fill my bed ?"
Well, R" said the old gentle
man, glancing around the circle of
astonished faces, Il suppose SO.
There are six, besides the old woman.
Bat Id rather you'd leave her, if the
girls will be enough. Take them all,
and God bless you"
Perfect shrieks of laughter went
up from those mean things, R
tsok to his heels, followed by the wri-
ter and cries from the old man to come
back and he'd "throw IN the old wo-
nan, too.'-Fort Wayne Sentinel.
