A REMARKABLY RETICENT MANA cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer men-
tions the death of Hayes Hinman, aged sixty
six years, who recently died near Utica, New
York. Although possessing the faculty Of
speech, he had not uttered two consecutive
words for fifty years. When sixteen years
old, hearing his father swear at member Of
the family, he made VOW that he would
never speak again. This vow was kept for
seven years. He then met with an accident
which bruised the fingers Of his left hand, the
pain drawing from him the exclamation,
"Oh!" On but one other occasion was he
heard to speak. This time the word "See"
was called forth by snake that crawled over
a sleeping child A column might be filled
by recital of Humans eccentricities Some
of his devices to avoid conversation were
crafty in the extreme. He was close stu
dent, and he has left voluminous diary du-
ring his fifty years of silence. He leaves
fortune of $4,000 to a nephew, with the ad-
monition, "Keep your mouth shut" Not
withstanding his silence, he was great favor
ite in the neighborhood in which he lived.

A CLEVER THIEF.

Two young men, according to Paris pa
per, were, few afternoons ago, seated in
front of cafe on the Boulevards, when one of
them, named Lucien w., informed his friend
that he had just come into possession of
5000 francs, adding that the 5000 francs, in
bank notes, were safely locked upin drawer
in his room, and he should not then trouble
himself with business. He had sum of SO
francs in his pocket, with which he proposed
that he and his friend should go to Asnieres
and enjoy themselves with boating, dining, a
ball. etc., and not return until two o'clock in
the morning.
At table close to them was welldressed
man, who, although apparently absorbed IN
the perusal of his journal, did not lose word
of the conversation. He was an accomplished
thief, named R., alias "the Aspic," who had
but recently returned from tour in the prov
inces, which he had found it necessary to
make in order to withdraw himself from the
observation of the police. The bait of 5000
francs was too tempting for him to resist, and
be Immediately resolved to have possession Of
it. Having noticed that Lacien W. had
placed his hat on stool at short distance
from him, the Aspic adroitly substituted his
own for it, and after paying for what he had
taken, walked out. He knew that the 5000
francs were deposited in drawer in the young
mans room, and the address OF that room he
hoped to find by means of the name at the
bottom of the hat. Seeing the hatter's ad.
dress, he went to his shop and told him that
he had, on leaving restaurant, taken hat
which did not belong to him, and which he
was anxious to return to the owner, If the
halter happened to know the address Of bis
customer. The information was readily OBJ.
tanned, and in very short time after, the
thief paid his visit to the apartment Of Lu-
Glen W., and gained possession of the money.
About an hour afterward the young man
came to the hatter's also, and was informed
of what had occurred, but, not thinking of
any danger for his money, he merely bought
straw hat, and, with his friend, proceeded
en- his trip to Asnieres. On his return home
at night he discovered his loss Information
was Immediately lodged with the police, and,
from the description of the man given by the
halter, he was, on the following day, arrested
while on party of pleasure, which he had
also devised with some friends, to the river.
side. In his pockets were found the 5000
francs, minus 400 francs, which he had ex-
pended.

A DEAF MUTE BOYS DEF1NITIoN.-A
gentleman once asked deaf and dumb boy,
"What is truth?" He replied by taking
piece of chalk and drawing on the blackboard
a straight line between two points. Then he
asked him, "What is lief" The boy rubbed
out the straight line and drew crooked line
between the same points. Remember this.

LOVES SEASON.

LOVES SEASON.
Love hailed a little maid,
Romping through the meadow;
Needless in the sun she played,
Scornful of the shadow.
"Come with me-" whispered he;
"Listen, sweet, to love and reason.'
"By-and-by," she Knocked reply;
Loves not in season."
Years went-years came,
Light mixed with shadow;
Love met the maid again
Dreaming through the meadow.
"Not so coy" urged the boy,
''List in time to love and reason"
"By-and-by," she unused reply;
''Loves still in season."
Years went-years came,
Light changed to shadow;
Love saw the maid again
Waiting in the meadow.
"Pass no more, my dream is Ger,
sI can listen now to reason"
Keep thee coy" whispered the boy;
"Love's quite out of season."

EXAMINATION OF A LONDON SCHOOL
BoARD.-An English writer has been sharply
criticising the management of the London
public schools, known as the "Board Schools"
and produces the following as specimens OF
the written examinations of some of the
scholars:
"Where is Turkey ?"
Turkey is the capital of Noralk."
"Where is Turin ?"
"Tureen is the capital of Chiner, the pee.
pul there lives in burds nests and has long
tails"
"Where is Gibraltar p
"Gibberalter is the principal town of Roo

"He was the father Of Lot, and ad tew
wives-wun was called Hishmale and tother
Haygur He kept wun at home, and turned
the t'other into the desert, where she became
a pillow of salt in the day time and pillow
Of FIRE at nite."
"What do you know of Joseph?"
"Hee wore koat Of many garments. Hee
we're chief butler to Faro and told his dreams.
Hee married Potifers dorter, and he led the
Gypsbuns out Of bondage to Kama, in Galilee,
and then fell on his sword and died in site of
the promise land"
"Give me the names Of the books of the
Old Testament"
"Devonshire, Exeter, Littikus, Numbers,
Jupiter, Stronomy, Judgment, Ruth, etc"
Another boy, giving his impressions in re-
gard to Moses, wrote as follows:
"He was an Egypshun. He lives in bark
maid of bull.rushers, and he KEEP golden
cart, and worshipt brazen snakes, and he het
nuthin but kwales and manner for forty year.
He was kort by the air of his ed while riding
under the bow of tree, and he was killed by
his son Abslon, as he was a-hanging from the
bow. His end was peasel"
s8r Theindications are that the "Chinese I'm
migration Question" will be an issue in the
next Presidential campaign, as it is generally
conceded that the bill was passed in compli-
ance with the demand of the people Of Cali
fornia, who are desirous of putting stop to
the large influx of Chinese into that State.
The leading Republicans in Congress opposed
the bill and will attempt to make political
capital out of its passage. In an address re-
Gently delivered at Syracuse, New York, be-
fore the Young Mems Christian Association
of that city, Hon. Stewart L. Woodford, a
Republican politician, arraigned Congress in
unmeasured terms for an alleged violation of
the laws Of God and man. He said there
was no fear of the Christian cross being over
thrown by the Chinese pagoda, or our glorious
Christianity disproved by the false philosophy
of Confucius. No act Of Congress or law of
State or nation could alter thelaws of change.
Water will ever seek its level, and man will
ever 90 where he can put his labor to best &C
count. The address was received with every
demonstration of approval.

A POWERFUL TEACHER.-On one Of the
islands off the coast of Maine is gigantic
schoolmistress, seven feet high, weighing three
hundred pounds, strong in proportion and
very handsome. Once she was sent to reduce
to order school of savage young men, who
thrashed their teachers and turned them out.
Her advent was enough to make them meek
as lambs, all save one young man Of twenty
one, handsome and curly-haired, and who re-
garded himself as privileged character. he
began to cut up one day before the girls, where
upon, in the twinkling of an eye, the hand
some giantess bowed him across her knee and
spanked him with her ruler. The boys laugh
ed, the girls Uttered, and that was the end Of
that young mans pranks.
