Deaf PEOPLES Troubles.

From the New York Times.
One of the saddest features of excess
sive deafness is the unhappy mental ef-
feet it is apt to leave on those troubled
with it. So frequently is this the cause
that 1t has been said that persons of
morbid dispositions are peculiarly liable
to this way of looking at the matter,
cause and effect arc transposed. It is
certain that persons of cheerful DISPOSE
tons have been apparently transformed
into something wholly different from
their former selves by being deprived of
the ordinary powers of hearing is greatly
impaired is called upon to bear. He is
outHardly in no way different from other
people, and unless he has with him at all
times some ugly symbol of his infrmity,
like an ear-trumpet, strangers cannot
know and friends are likely to forget that
he is wanting in one of the most used
powers of sense. Of course, when some
thing is said to him which he does not un-
derstand, in consequence of the light care
less way in which the words are uttered,
or because the sounds are lost to him in
the jarring hum of general converse
tion, it is easy to explain ones helpless
ness and ask to have a question or state.
ment repeated. But to be thus perpetu-
ally acknowledging ones weakness is ex-
ceedingly distasteful to most persons;
the more so as the confession rarely
brings with it any satisfactory return.
The prevailing belief of those who have
not associated much with deaf people is
that to make them hear it is only nee
essary to raise the voice. This, in most
instances, is complete mistake, few men
and still fewer women, who are
not professional vocalists, speak plainly
when they SPEAK with loud voice, and
hence it often happens that the victim of
their kind efforts is in no way assisted in
the task OF understanding them, while
all those who may be near are made
aware of his misfortune. The proper
way is to speak slow and distinctly, for
with the deaf the recognition of volume
Of sound exists, just as near-slghted
man has perception Of any object, only
in one case as in the other, the outlines
and divisions art uncertain and confused.
AS this is rarslY understood, those who
are troubled with deafness soon find that
attempts at general social intercourse
bring with them more discontinue than
pleasure, the natural result is to force the
sufferer into kind Of mental isolation.

"Casabianca'' In Prose.

A lad named Casabianca stood on the
burning deck Of the Orient after eyery.-
body else had played the great act and
deserted her, Will. the flames that lit the
battles wreck shone round him DER the
dead. It was an uncomfortable position
tor the young fellow to be placed in, vet
beautiful and bri ght he stood. as horn to
rule the storm or burst fue. You will
doubtless be surprised to hear it, but
though the flames rolled on, some of
them scooting up the mainmast as a re-
palrer would scoot up telegraph-pole,
some performing monkeyshines on the
yardarm, others licking the name off the
sides of the vessel, etc. Notwithstand.
ing all this business, the boy would not
go without his fathers word, for the verv
good reason that his back was still hinged,
streaked and striped from the last
basting he received for disobeying the
old man.
he called aloud: ''Say, father, saw if
yet my task be done, for if I don't get
out OF this pretty quick I'll be done my
sell, and done brown, too; and don't you
forget it."
You see he was ignorant of the fact
that the chieftain lay unconscious of bis
son.
- peak, father!" once again Re yelled,
"1f may yet be gone!'' and just then the
enemys vessel selt a broadside into the
burning wreck, and fast the flames rolled
on. He felt their breath on his brow and

most as not as ward caucus. The boy
continued to look from that lone port Of

countenance.
he shouted but once more aloud: "Fa-
ther, what's the use Of me stand1n' here9"
While DER him fast, through sail and
shroud, the wreathing flames made way,
with not pump in working order, and
nobody to work it. In order to make
this thing very graphic, it is necessary to
state that the tire-fend wrapped the ship
in splender wild, painting it in grander
colors than the band-wagon of a circus;
he also caught the flag on high, swallow
ed it and blew more ribbons of fire out
of his mouth than street peadler. After
this he stood on top of the jarkstaff and
made an incendiary Fourth of July
speech to the sea gull. But in the MIDST
of life we are in death. There came a
burst of thunder; the boy, oh! where
To tell the great North American truth
there was no boy in the case. Captain
Casabianca had no son, and, even if ne

History of the Corset.

The corset had it's origin in Italy.
and introduced from that country into
France by Catherine de Medicis. Mary
Stuart and Diana Poiters did not, how
ever, follow the fashion, but it was ad-
mitted by all the ladies of the French
court that is was indispensable to the
beauty of the female figure, and was
therefore, adopted by them. The corset
was in the days in its infancy. and it

the exterior lid frightfui and cumber-

detrimental to health, and the cause of
SO much personal Inconvenience, not to
say torture, could not last long, and the
artisans of those days contrived to give
more pliability and lightness to the met
al, and prepared the way by degrees tor
whalebone. But, as reforms are always
slow, the cod iron continued to clasp the
warm hearts of the fair wearers for long
time in its embrace. The corset found
favor in the eyes Of Louis XIV. 1n>the
following reign the corset was threatened
with Punishment from the toilet. Fash
ion took rural and simple turn, and was
almost guided by the taste of Boucher,
in whose pictures many of the court celeb
rites figure as shepherds and shep-
herdesses. But the painter departed. and

Of the former times. During the revolu-

The Steam-E Engine.

The Marquis of Worcester is common
~ regarded as the inventor ofthe steam
engine, but, perhaps, the most that can
be justly said is, that he was the first per-
son that imagined the possibility Of con-
structing such machine. The individu-
al who actually first constructed an engine
for raising water by the alternate force
and condensation of steam, was Captain
savary, who published an account of his
invention in small tract, called the
"Miner's,'' Friend" In 17o5, Newcomer
obtained a patent for an improved steam
engine; and in 1717 Henry Beighton
made some further Improvements, one of
which is generally allowed to have been
that of causing the steam-cock to be
opened and shut by the machinery; a
man having been previously employed
for the express purpose. A few other
improvements were made by different
persons, but they did not effect the gen.
eral action of the engine; and, although
defects in its power had been noticed,
their cause was unknown till 1866. when
happily for the prosperity of the arts and
manufactures of Britain, the subject en-
gagged the ingenuity ofsMr. Watt The
model Of "a Newcomers engine fell into
his hands to be repaired, and in this h
presently observed the immense loss of
steam occasioned by Its admission into the
cylinder, just cooled for condensation
indeed, he went so far as to ascertain by
experiment that half the steam of the
boiler was thus lost. But the circum-
stance that excited his greatest surprise
was, that the Injection water gained in
finitely more heat than if quantity Of
boiling water, equal to that required 10
form the steam, had been added to it.
In this dilemma, he is understood to
have consulted the celebrated DR.. Black,
whose discoveries on the subject of heat
were then the theme of general wonder
and from him be obtained such ansexpla-
nation of the difficulty IS enabled him
80 to alter the construction Of the engine
that with rather less than one third of the
quantity of steam it could produce the
same power asone of equal dimensions on

But great as5was this improvement, il
formed but q small part Of the successful
achievements of Mr.. Watt in this depart
ment Of mechanics. The application and
utility Of tie engine he extended in va
rious ways; and at last arrived at thai
climax of improvement which consisted
in making the steam serve to elevate a!

A Word 90 the COrUnIent.

Instead OF egarding obesity as an abnor-
NAL condition, many people have erroneously
considered it as an evidence Of health. and
any agent that reduces fat is therefore at once
suspected of being injurious. Starting to
reason from the false position that fat Is an
evidence of health, it IS not surprising that
they should, very naturally, fall into the error
OF surprising that an agent possessing prop
prove injurious to the health. Reasoning.
however, from the rational basis, that an un-
due deposition of fat, constituting obesity, is
not healthy but morbid condition, it is
quite as natural for us to arrive at the oppo-
site conclusion, which is sustained by expert
ence and observation, e.. that the reduction
OF lat in cases OF corpulency is invariably fol-
lowed by an improvement of strength, spirits.
and physical comforts. Allan's Anti-fat will
