Oh Ids soul, and so transformed that
small, pale face? That view of the first
ineHable Joy Of hearing is something
never to be forgotten, The other
children were affected in different ways
some waved their hands, some booked

eyes grew big and black, and broad
smile opened his mouth. rs if he were
laughing, but he made no audible
sound.
Alter the song, Mr.. Rhodes requested
the company 70 sing, Nearer, My God,

and the beautiful hymn was sung, with
the full accompaniment of the organ.

deaf girls and boys, as the sweet, solemn
strains struck upon the precious audi.
phones held close their teeth. They
waved their hands to and FRO, their
faces glowing; the Dung girl SIS before,
looking upward, raising her arm with
pointing finger at the high notes, and
lowering it gently at the low tones. Big
tears stood in the eyes of many of the
singers, and ! for one shall never forget
the scene.
Mr.. Rhodes has sentan audiphone, as
Il gift To the Princess OF Wales, who is
very deaf. These fans can be decorated

and lady using one would never be
supposed to be deaf, if she playfully
placed her fan against her teeth when

The Mule and the Locomotive.
New York Times

A California community has sur.
passed the atrocity of Spanish bull.
tights by a match between u mule and
y locomotive. The mule was large
and bony army mule, and the locomo.
tive was one Of the celebrated Paterson
breed. A circular track was built in a
large temporary amphi;heatre, on
which the locomotive was run at full
speed, and the mule was let loose into
the arena to deal with its antagonist "a
it saw fit. The mule watched the loco
motive for some time, with its ears in \
threatening attitude, and when the loco.
motive had attained y speed OF fully
fifty miles IN hour, backed up in front
Of it and delivered kick with both feet.
The locomotive was brought to an in
slant stop. trembling in every wheel,
while hot perspiration ofsteam cover.
ed its surface. After being carefully
sponged off and stimulated with small
Goals, the miserable locomotive was
again set i'll motion. This time the
mule kicked it with such terrific VIC
lence as to break its funnel short off
and to smash its headlight. Moaning
with pain, the locomotive was once
more sponged, and its wounds bound
up with sheetiron. AT this point several
ladies left the amphitheatre, berg un.
able to witness any longerso brutal a
spectacle, but the inhuman owner OF
the locomotive ordered time to be
called, and the combat to be renewed
The mule waited till the locomotive was
running at an estimated speed of sixty.
seven miles per hour, and then deliver.
cd its final kick. Tbehapless locomo.
tive was hurled some thirty feet from
the track, aud was taken up with its
boiler ruptured, its eccentrics dislocated
and its conne3ting-rods broken. Ii
breathed its last steam in few mo.
ments in great apparent suffering, and
the mule was declared the victor.
A more revolving spectacle has
probably never been witnessed in any
Spanish bullring, and when we re.
member that tins brutal fight occurred
at the very time that the wretched
chess players were undergoing torture
in this city, we can not shut our eyes to
the fact that we have eclipsed, in the
nineteenth century, the worse barbara.
ties of Rome and Madrid.

Artificial Diamonds Again.

Nature prints another communication
from Prof. Maskelyne, Of the British
Museum, on the artificial diamond
question, in which he somewhat modi
ties his previous opinion. He says:
"As | know that portion Of the public
is very much interested in the diamond
question, and in the result of the inter.
view Mr. Mactear announced that he
and | were to have in connection with
it, think, perhaps, it will be well to
say that | have bad the pleasure OF
working with that gentleman many
hours yesterday and to-day, and that
our results so far convince me that,
while my own conclusions, rs an.
nounced in the Times, are borne out rs
regards at least a portion OF the sub
stances on which | worked, there are
other portions of those substances that
differ from these in properties and still
require investigation; that, in fact, the
material is a mixture OF different bod
les. When say that j have as yet no
evidence of crystalline carbon, whether
AZ diamonds or insome other condition,
among these bodies, | feel that Mr..

pension of opinion regarding a discov.
cry he believes that he has made. A
portion OF the material be has produced

his claim to have scratched topaz anu

add that tue diamond has been also
abraded by bis product, and 10 inclose
to you certificate to that effect. Mr..
Mactear wishes me also to state that he
claims simply to have produced crys-
talline form Of carbon irrespective
Of the question Of whether this is the
diamond"
We may state that in the London
Times OF the same date is a certificate
from Mr.. L Boston, OF Glasgow, that be

and to engraye two rubies, two sap
phires, an amethyst, and cairngorn"

Deadly ChlorOform.

The Piano at Home.
New YORK Times.

The drum is the most barbaric, the
horn in all its varieties the most pierc.
ing, the ACCORDION and its )ngenert
the most abominable, the violin the
most soulful, the pipe-organ. the most
domestic ana social, Of all instruments
Of music. The statistics of the latter
production are surprising. The 125
makers in the four largest cities of THE
country produce 10000 pianos year,
for which the public pay some 5000
600. Every steamship must have one;
every hotel and public hall requires one
or more; the boarding-school has from
one to thirty, and the parlor which
lacks one is thought to be incompletely
furnished. This Ii within the border
