win the sense or Touch Only.

A lady who once visited the home of
Laura Bridgeman, who was born deaf, dumb, and
blind furnishes the following story, rs related by
Lauras mother The child was in the habit of
following her mother from room to room while
she was about her work, and frequently went with
her to the pantry when she skinned the cream,
for which Laura had q special preference. FL
nally she became so troublesome in the pantry
that her mother was Obliged to shut her out by
drawing the string which lifted the latch Of the
door. Laura soon discovered what her mother
had done, and on one occasion when She was
alone went in and helped herself bountifullS In
order to prevent Il repetition her mother had a
button fastened to the pantry door so high that
her little daughter could not reach It, but she soon
surmounted the obstacle by climbing on n chair
and cflecting an entrance. This little incident
shows the activity of her mind, with an outlet of
only one sense, that of touch, melted by n fond
ness for cream. This occurred before she entered
the institution for the blind, and Laura herself,
years alerwOrd remembered the incident and
described the process of skimming cream and the
old fashioned latch.-BOstOH Trdrelicr.

Senator Beck and His Troubles.

The unguarded expression of the news
paper man who reported Senator Beck as
favoring Senator Anthony for President
pro tan. in case of a vacancy in the chair
of the Senate in December has kept that
Senator in hot water ever since. We have
interviewed him, and copied his inter
views with others, and we assure the
Democratic members of the Kentucky
Legislature that Senator Beck is thor
oughbred full-blooded Democrat; that
he is an all-wool and yard-wide caucus
man that he is in every way worthy of
trust as Bourbon-we mean no oiicnse I;
that is our way of describing the un-
wavering and unyielding pardsan Demo-
crat.
A Lexington Qky,t writer for an In
diana paper gives an interview with the
Senator, in which it is stated that he main
tanned THAT in the event ofhis (the Presi-
dents death nothing revolutionary or il
legal would be attempted, and that prob
ably Mr.. Anthony or some other conserva-
tive Republican would be elected; that GER
tainly the Democratic party did not seek
al IiltIt StllDlUuCt VI lcHlIblulg IbNti Wy
double assassination, with one House of
Congress against them and the other n
tie.
From this we judge that the Senator
simply intended to say that in the event
of the Presidents death, and in case there
should then be tie in the Senate, ordi-
nary patriotism would bring the two par
ties together for the time being, as the
pnly means of securing an organization
of the Senate. In such an event it would
be natural to choose the Senator longest
in service, without regard to politics. In
this case the choice would fall on Senator
Anthony. If neither party shall have a
constitutional majority in the full Senate
in December it will prevail without con-
test. If there should be tic we believe
that, instead of deadlock. representa-.
tive Senators of each party would confer,
and that when the Senate met it would
be found unanimous on every question of
organization.
Probably Mr.. Beck had such a possibil-
ity in view in what he said.

The "Tribune" VS.. Collector Robert.
son,

The Democratic state Committee of Massachu-
sets met yesterday and appointed II committee TO
prepare and forward TO Mrs Garfield resolutions
ofsympathy. SO far as heard from the New York
Republican State committee is the only political
body that has come together since the attempted
assassination of the President without sufficient
presence OF mird TO say something upon this sub
jcct-Neip York Tribune.
1t is fact, and it is burning disgrace
to Collector William ii. Robertson and his
dozen of followers, who sat in that meet
ing and had not the decency to offer n
resolution on the subject. We are willing
TO aid the Tribune in getting Robertson
turned out of Office for his scurvy beha-
vior on the occasion alluded to. 1t makes
ones blood boil to think Of it.
The Tribune omitted to state whether
the highly proper Democratic State Conn
mittee, for which it exhibits such respect
ful tenderness, had been thoughtful
enough to also resolve that the National
Democratic and State committees and
Democratic papers and Speakers all lied
when they insultingly pretended to dis
believe General Garfeld's denial of the
genuincness of the Morey letter in Oc-

Tho Lnte Regatta.

The national regatta was failure only
in the want of great crowd to witness it,
and in the very unfortunate misunder.
standing concerning the facilities to be
afforded the press for reporting it. II
turns out that the efforts of the COM
mittee to provide suitable boat
for the representatives Of the press
Qor which the latter had cheer
fully agreed to pay was thwarted
by an unlooked-for inability to secure
permission for the tug-boat they had
chartered to carry the number it could
have conveniently accommodated. Had
this truth been made known at the time
the committee would have escaped the
harsh criticism which our reporter. from
his standpoint, had right to suppose
they deserved in the matter of the press
accommodations.
The committee was made up of some
of our best people, and they and THE RE-
PUBLICAN were equally desirous to con-
tribute to the success of the occasion.
They received and housed the club guests
and their boats without hitch or annoy
ance, and made all feel at home. They
were under much restraint in the matter
of preparation because of the possibility
that the Presidents condition might Mt
the last render it improper to proceed.
This prevented efforts for great crowd
and the erection of grand stand for the
general accommodgt gtiom. With such ex-
ceptions as alwaysaccompany such under
takings the regatta was success, and
the committee is well entitled TO great
credit for their labors, which all are will
