Remarkable Restoration to Speech Of
Beautiful Young Lady.

The Louisville Frenirg Nesrs Of June
nth saws: The particulars Of very re-
markable case were related to the Ners
representative this morning by a gen.
tleman familiar with the particulars.
Miss Flora Rau is the daughter Of MIR.
s. Rau, who resides on First Street. be-
tween Market and jefferson, and Is .
dry goods merchant. She Is IL years
old, and a young lady of rare beauty
and accomplishments. About one year
ago her sister, a very beautiful and es-
Unable young lady, aged 1Syears, died,
aud since that time Miss Fora has been
in the habit Of paying visits, at regular
intervals, 10 her grave Mrs. Rau,
mother OF Flora, is an invalid, and about
three months ago was suddenly stricken
down by disease, and for time her life
was greatly endangered Miss Flora y
warmly attached TO her, evincing for her
an affecti0nate tenderness rarely dis
played by child for parent, and
when the sudden visitation of illness to
the mother occurred she was so greatly
shocked thereat and her nervous system
so affected that she lost her speech, and
from that time until yesterday was una
bic to articulate even the shortest and
most simple words.
On Tuesday a little three-year-old
cousin Of Miss Rau died, and the funer-
al took place yesterday. Miss Flora
desired 70 attend the funeral, but heE
mother felt unwilling for her TO 60 on
account Of the deep grief she manifested
at the child's deathly bearing, that, in
her nervous condition, her health might
become more seriously impaired. The
young lady was persistent, however, and
I was allowed 10 20.
And now comes the most remarkable
part Of this singular case, mixed up q:
/ Il Is with the dead and sick. At the
funeral Miss Flora's grief found free ex
preston in tears, but there were no 9th
er outward manifestations OF it, Oh
her return home, however, she rushes
into the presence Of her mother, ex
claiming, "Oh, mamma, mamma,

suffering, hesitating manner. Ans
now her speech is fully restored. ans
she can converse with her friends a

Woods Last Sensation.

The long announced opening OF
Col. J. H. Woods travelling combl.
nation transpired yesterday after
noon and night. 1t was prefaced
by formal procession through the
principal streets of Los Angeles.
The audience was fair one, but
was not as large as it undoubtedly
would have been If the excursion
to San Francisco and the hymeneal
exercises at Turnverein Hall, which
were participated in by our fire.
men, had not dissipated the sources
of patronage.
Wood has secured an immense
tent. We will remark just here
that every detail of the tent and
ring, the seating and the reserved
seats were attended to yesterday
with nicely as to details which
we have never seen eXcelled.
Woods show is an emphatically
moral one, and it has very many
features of special excellence.
Dismissing the horizontal bar
performances Of the Francois
brothers, with the admission that
they are fair, this act introduces
Mr.. Fred. J. Maokley as a clown.
He makes a decidedly good one, as
he is fellow of "infinite Jest"
and versatility. Causland, as a
specialist, has very extended rep.
utation, and his performances on
the violin, last night, perched upon
a globe which had only the frail
support of pyramid formed sue
cessively of bottles and glasses,
were unique and striking. He may
properly be designated as a multi
form artist.
The acrobatic feats of the Wat.
rigan Brothers are fully up to
anything in their line of business
which has been held out as an in
ducement by Barnum in his Hip
podrome. They are graceful, dar.
ing and unsurpassed per. .ormers on
the trapeZe.
The slack.wire performances of
Miss Wartrigan were really finer
than anything we have remarked
in Barnum's vaunted shows. The
lady is the impersonation Of airy
and mastery equipose, and her
achievements on the slack-wire
were alone worth the price of ad-
mission. Her jugglery with balls,
wands and knives, while swaying,
like a thing of air, on frail strand
of iron, extorted rapturous COM
mendation.
The vaudeville portion of the en-
tertainment was of q notably
amusing cast. First should be
noted Mr.. Charles Adams,
whose Dutch business, includ-
ing his latest poetical effusion,
"Wood's Last Sensation" abound.
ing in capital hits" took the audi
ence between wind and water. The
character sketches of Fred J. Mack
ley and tho general run of business
in that line would take in any sec.
tion of the American continent.
Col. Wood has been at great ex-
pence in preparing his show. 1t is
emphatically, from a professional
aud artistic standpoint, q success.
1t is highly moral entertain.
ment; and, in the sense of shock
ing no prescriptions OF propriety, it
Is u highly refined and improving
If peripatetic spectacle.
