Remarkable Cures.

Among those who have been most
remarkably affected by accidental sur
prises are the deaf and dumb, and tales
of unknown antiquity relate how speech
or hearing has been recovered or i'm
proved in this way. AS case in point.
About 1750 merchant of Cleves named
Jorissen, who had become almost totally
deaf, sitting one day near harpsichord
while some one was playing, and having
a tobacco.pipe in his mouth, the bowl Of
which rested accidentally against the
body of the instrument, was agreeably
surprised to hear all the notes in the
most distinct manner. This accident
was happy one, for Jorissen soon
learned, by means of piece of hard
wood placed against his teeth, the other
end of which was placed against the
speakers teeth, not only to keep up
conversation, but to understand the
least whisper. Other cures have been
brought about less by skill than acci-
dental circumstances. There is story
of Frenchman who, through sword
wound received in a duel, suffered from
internal assesses, which forced him to
walk in STOPPING posture. Some time
after, becoming engaged in another
affair of honor, this time with pistols,
the bullet of his adversary CHANGED to
pass exactly through the assesses
caused by the former wound, which,
making them discharge, not only re-
lieved him from the stoop, but caused
him to walk with rather stiff carriage
ever afterward.

An Unparalleled Case.

The New York papers announced, a
few days ago, that an Italian youth aged
nineteen had fallen desperately in love
with French girl of sixteen while they
were crossing the Atlantic in steam
ship together. He could speak no
French; she could speak no italian, and
they had no common tongue in which
to communicate their thoughts and feel
ings. Nevertheless, he managed to in
form her by eloquent pantomime of the
fervor of his passion. without making
any particular impression her. He did
not dispair, however. He continued his
voiceless suit, and took occasion during
its progress to inform her of his f.
nancial condition, giving her to UNDER
stand that it was such as to fully justify
him b! in the perpetration Of marriage.
This part of his Communication was OBJ
served to touch her; her former indiffer-
ence disappeared; she rapidly melted
into compliance; and when they reached
our shores they were promptly united.

Reservoir Fish.

A reservoir would not at first thought
seem to be a good place to fish in. New
York gets more natural history from its
water pipes than it desires, so it was
propos d recently to fish out the reser-
voir with nets. The seine is drawn 80
as to cover as wide an area of water as
possible and drive the fish into the COR
ner. The first haul made resulted in
2,700 fish. There were a seven pound
pickerel and four-pound black. bass.
besides many smaller specimens of the
same varieties. Besides these there
were uncounted rock-bass, sun-fish, cat
fish, suckers and some cells, few of
which were three-pounders. All ex-
cepting the choice fish of the first haul
were buried, as it was the desire of the
department not to give too great pub
licity to the fact that the reservoirs
needed fishing. When the fishing was
finished over Q, 900 fish of various kinds
we're caught The fsh was given to the
poor
