1t appears that the announcement
that Edward Everett Hale was going
to Mexico arose from the fact that he
is writing book on that country. Since
he has officially denied that he has any
intention of visiting our sister republic,
the Buffalo Commercial Adrertiser sup
poses it is because he doesn't want to
be prejpdiced in what he may write.

THE DEAF AND DUMB.
The Fortieth Annual Report from the OF
ficers of the State Asylum.

The forteth annual report from the officers of
the Deaf and Dumb Asylum was filed with the
Governor on Saturday evening. Further than
the usual statement that there has been greater
progress and improvement in the work of the
institution during the year than ever before, the
trustees have little to say. Their revenues,
they report, were; For maintenance, $751;
1873; repairs, $3.O17 63 earnings, 1872. 81;
clothing, 1912 81; making total of S6l 1874. o..
The disbursements amounted TO $59,767, of
which $56,87193 was for maintenance, and
$2,S95.07 for repairs to the buildings. The UNI
expended balance of S., 117.O4 has been trans
ferred to the general fund.
The superintendent of the asylum, William
Glenn, reports that there were 1927 pupils ad
mitted during the year, Of whom 202 were
males and 175 were females. At the close of
the term last June forty-two were dismissed and
two have since died leaving 333 now in the in
sttutlon. Sixty application for admission have
been received, but, Tor want of room to accom-
MEDIATE them, the applicants cannot be received.
The industrial department., the superintend-
emit says, is too limited TO afford proper facili-
ties for the work, ana he thinks that more
branches should be established. Seventy five
girls receive instruction daily in
the sewing room. ana all the pa
pills, both male and female, are required
To devote themselves to useful employ
ment for three hours each afternoon.
Additional buildings for the increasing num-
Der of pupils are needed, and o number Of I'M
prOvements are recommended.
Iu-examining the applications of 1856 children
who were born deaf and have been admitted to
the asylum since 1862 the superintendent finds
that the parents of thirteen of the number were
first cousins, while the parents of 116 were not
related by blood "Facts very clearly lead to
the conclusion" he says, "rhat in comparatively
few cases the causes of the afiliction can be
properly attributed TO lntermarriage of per
sons related by eonssngunty." 1t is shown
that the deafness in most cases was caused by
scarlet or spotted fever.

Park Branch Extension.

BOHEMIAN, NJ. T., Dec. 22.-Engineers of the
Utah Northern Narrow gauge, branch of the
Union Pacific. are here surveying the Gallatn
extension of the National Park branch through
Bozeman, where the company has recently ac-
quired large coal interests, Gallatln city, near
the headwaters of the Missouri. 1t is under
stood that the Park branch will be built early in
the spring, and eventually he extended to Fort
Benton, the head of navigation of the Missouri,
and to a connection with the Canadian Pacific.
Meantime, the Northern Pacific company is
making inquiries as to the feasibility of line
from Helena to Benton, with a view to heading
off the Utah Northern. The connection of the
Utah Northern with the Canadian Pacific would
give the Union Pacific another outlet East in
anticipation OF an alliance between the Northern
Pacific and Burlington.

The Connectieut Fourth Parallel.

President Watrous, of the New York, New Ha-
ven u Hartford ROAD, concerning the advertise
ment of petition for fourth parallel ROAD
RcrOss the State said the reason he had for sur
missing that the Boston & Albany Railroad Com
pany was interested in the scheme was that the
Impression had gone abroad since the change in
management of the New York & New England
company that that road was to be brought into
more friendly relations than hitherto with the
N. Y, N. H. & H., and there was probably an
apprehension on the part of the Boston e. Al
baDy that the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford would divert the through passenger traffic
10 and from Boston at Hartford. by connections
with the New York 81 New England, instead of
sendisg 1t to Springfield and over the Boston q
Albany road, as at present. Consequently, the
Boston & Albany company may contemplate a
through New York connection independent of
the New York, New Haven & Hartford, or pro-
Tess to have such line in view for effect Mr.
Watrous expressed disbelief that the new road
proposed would be built unless the close alliance
Df the New York, New Haven &c Hartford with
the New York u New England road should IN
Jure Boston & Albany interests. and even In that
Base he thought IL barely possible.

Lotta's London Debut.


Lolita made her London debut tonight at the
Theater COmique, in ''Musette." The house was
crowded, ana many prominent people were
among the audience, 1t soon became evident,
however, that there were number of persons
present who had been organized to make hos
tile demonstration, and to make the debutante's
success impossible. Tue hostile caquers were
judiciously distributed in different parts of the
house, and were especially strong in the gallery;
and the gods, ever ready for mischief, Joined in
the chatting of the actors, and unconsciously
allotted their enemies. The row began
when y.1 Lolita and Mr. Howard dro ali
which the average cOckney knows only as
Moody and Saukey hymn. This provoked a
storm of yells from the galleries, and although
the occupants of the stalls ana pits cheered and
did their best sustain the singers, the galleries
outdid the rest of the house in noise, and cries
of throw them out" etc. Lolita bravey perse-
vered in her part for time, but In the end was
fairly frightened off the stage by the brutal
menaces, and retired, exclaiming, II do not I'M
derstand this, gentlemen" few minutes later,
when Arthur DacTe appeared on the stage, he
was greeted with the cry, where's your mis-
sus4" and other taunts, which had evidently
been pre-arranged, with reference to his recent
unsuccessful effort to obtain divorce from MS
wife.
The play was continued until the end in spite
of the occasional disturbances, and Lolita was
frequently recalled and generously applauded
by the lower part OF tue house. Many nanu-
some bouquets were sent to the stage, and
among the floral offerings was "Musette" bon
net, composed of real vioets and lilies Of the
valley. The general opinion after.the perform
ance was that Lotta's style, though almost I'M
known to the English stage, is artistic and highly
amusing, but that Musatte is not play that Will
ever be acceptable in London. After the
fall OF tho curtain CORES pondent
obtained interview with Lolita in
the greenrOom. The actress was deeply
affected, and declared that she would never
have faced an English audience if she could
have foreseen such a reception. She said that
she was grateful TO the occupants of the pit and
stalls for the appreciation they displayed,
'but," she exclaimed, 81 love the gallery, and it
hurts me terribly to have their censure. [

not been firm would have collapsed entirely"

seem unsuitable in England, and she will draw
upon the extensive repertoire with which
Mr.. Frederic Marsden has furnished her for
other plays which it is hoped will be more sue
