A Deaf uute,s Prayer.

The Norwich Bulletins Mystic cores
poudent says: "a beautiful incident is
related to us which occurred only Q few
DAYS ago in the Home school to teach mutes
articulation and lp-reading at Mystic river:
Miss F., an interesting graduate OF one OF
the Oldest institutions for the education OF
deaf mutes, having . desire to learn to
speak and to read the lips OF her speaking
friends, was recommended by her OLD
principal to try Mr.. Whippers school,
and she entered it last term.
She made rapid progress, and was
much aided by the natural alphabet
the invention OF her new teacher. This
alphabet curieusly suggests sound, or the
right positions of the organs to utter souno,
as well as form; and whenever mute pupil
can read and write it, he or she can gener-
difficult language with great precision and
discrimination. and often with remarkable
correctness. This young lady, filed with
enthusiasm at every step, mastered the
alphabet with little difficulty, and one day
came to her teacher with something written
Oh her slate, which she asked him to cor
rect, her mind being agitated with emotion.
1t proved to be the Lord Prayer, put
in the language of articulation. Perceiv,
ing her agitation, the teacher could
scarcely restrain his own tears as he
corrected the few unimpOrtant errors OF
pronunciation and delcately returned it.
The next morning the lady came exultingly
to her teacher, exclaiming, 4 prayed last
night for the first time in my life with my
voice. and neither Of them could restrain
their emotions. He ventured to ask her if
she had never prayed before. Oh yes; l
have thought my prayers, but | never
spoke them before My lips shall praise
Thee, o Godv Attend the voice Of my
prayer Attend the voice of my supplics-
lions, o Lord The earnestness and salts
faction Of the devout mute, who had now
realized one of the bright dreams of her life,
admitted no question, and called for no
proof, if she was something of literalist in
her interpretations"

A few days ago an elegantly dressed lady
got into Madison avenue New York; car,
and, although the car was cool, she could
not wear her gloves on account Of her many
diamond rings. A bsulky horse having
twice stopped the car, the lady went to the
door, and looking at the team for few mo-
ments, said to the driver: "That ERE off
horse amt used to be druv on that ere side. !"
And that was just the trouble in spite Of the
diamonds.

Charlotte Cushman.

Charlotte Cushman, the only greet &C.
tress America has produced, who died at
Boston on Friday, was in her sixtieth year.
She has been before the public for more
than forty years, and her high renown IN
her profession dates almost from her en-
trance upon 1t. She will be remembered
principally Tor her presentations of Queen
Katharine in sienry VIII, Lady Macbeth
and Meg Merrlies but in her youth she
was almost equally great in such diverse
male roles as Cardinal Wolsey and Romeo,
the latter of which she played over 200
nights in London 10 her sister Susan's Ju-
liet. Miss Cushmau's strong intellect and
character were matched with majestic
presence, and deep con.ralto voice, full
of power and melody There was some
thing almost masculine in her strength, aud
yet that covered Il genuine womanly ten
derness that her friends knew, end that
extended to the dumb creatures she owned
in an even pathetic interest and concern.
She has been slowly dying for some years
of an internal cancer, hut acted and gave
readings with unflinching courage as long
as she was able to stand upon the stage.
Her farewell performances in the cities of
America, last season, were made the sub
jects of unseemly mockery by many news
paper writer's. who, it is 10 he hoped, will
have the grace to feel shamed, now that
death has proved how true the farewell
was. Boston loses in her one of It's most
distinguished children, and the English
speaking stage one of its noblest represent

BABCOCK'S CASE.
can.

The case both for and ag linst Babcock,
30 far as the jury which is TO pass upon the
question of guilt or innocence is concerned,
is made and while the testimony, and its
bearing upon that question, IS being pre-.
sented to the jury, by the several counsel,
it may be both timely and proper TO en-
quire how the case stands.
The indictment charges him with con-
spiracy with Mcdonald, Joyce, Avery and
Others, having for its object the defraud-
ing of the government out Of revenue pro-
perly chsrgeable and collectlble from the
manufacture of whisky. The fact OF the
existence of such a conspiracy, and that
Mcdonald, Joyce, Avery and others were
engaged therein, and the government was
thereby defrauded out of large amount
of revenue, is inconIestible and is, in fact,
conceded by the Babcock, his friends and
attorneys.
Was Baheaok connected with this con-
spiracy The testimony shows that he
was in intimate and confidential relations
with these men during all the time of the
existence of this conspiracy, and that he
was in frequent and constant correspond
ence with them, by mail and telegraph,
both during the time they were engaged In
these frauds, after their indictment and
during their trial, and, also, subsequent to
their conviction. Moreover, and 1t is an
important fact, this correspondence was not
carried on openly, but surreptitiously fic-
tlcious signatures were used to kilograms,
and letters were sent under cover to third
parties. These dispatches have been too

ception, he says, the best natural advaut-
ages of any harbor on long Island sound,
and may perhaps compete in these respects
with any harbOr in the country. With bold
water aud well backed it affords complete
protection IN storms to the commerce of
Long Island sound, and the work CON-
pleted would become prominent mooring

THE BRATrLEBoRo SCHOOL CASE.
The Action Of tho School Board Sustained.

The Action Of tho School Board Sustained.
The supreme court, Mt Newfape, Friday,
decided the celebrated Brsttleboro school
case, in favor Of the school board The
opinion was delivered by Judge Barrett,
and some threc-quarters of an hour was
occupied In Its reading. 1t will be remem-
bered that large number of children of
Catholic parentage, in violation of rule of
the school, absented themselves from the
public school on Corpus Christi day that
on previous "day of obligation Of the
church, they had similarly absented them
selves that, on this occasion, they had
requested to he excused from attendance,
but were denied and that, in consequence
of their non attendance, they were expelled
from school. This present action was bill
in chancery brought to restrain the school
board from carrying the order for expul-
sion into effect.
The court held that the rule was within
the legal power Of the school board to
make that requiring the children to at
tend on that day, and refusing to excuse
them, was not such an interference with
the freedom of conscience as to make the
rule in conflict with the constitution that
the holding of a session of the school that
day,was not any more illegal than ii would
be to hold town meeting on that day ;that
the school laws, as well as this rule, was
made for all persons and, as 1t did not con-
flict with the constitution, was legal and of
binding force. The court, therefore, dis
missed the bill. The decision of the court
sustains the action Of Judge Wheeler in re-
fusing to grant a preliminary injunction in
the first instance, and is based, substantial
ly, on the same reasons IT., also, affirm
the action of the court of chancery in dis
missing the bill.
